[2] Raging Red and Lightning Green
Reborn wasn't actually the type of person who would hang around with innocent people when he was on a mission. As much as he was feared and known as the strongest amongst all the seven Arcobaleno, he was still human who has conscience behind his well-crafted mask.
He didn't particularly like involving families that were once living a peaceful life and now was forced to, not that they had a choice to begin with since both twins were practically descendants of Primo – the founder of Vongola Famiglia – but still. Reborn, as much as he loved to torture his students, he didn't really approve the part were all the existing relatives would be involved in Mafia. A main target, a bait to lure out the higher ups, it was a sickening fact that he had to bear since the day he decided to step on the ladder of becoming one of the Mafioso.
Reborn had been reading during his ride using the Vongola's private jet about the twins. In fact, he wasn't even sure if those two were brothers at all because from the pictures that he saw, they were nothing alike. Although he noticed from brief observation on how all the pictures were solely focused on Natsu, Natsu's face only and Sawada Tsunayoshi was on the corner smiling a little, yet looked dejected looking at his brother's back.
Reborn also noticed through pictures how Nana, the mother of the two, was always all over her son Natsu, while never did in one of the pictures Reborn saw Nana looked at his older son the way she looked at her younger. It's not only that but when he read the information, he couldn't believe how much difference the two had. Not that he gathered much information about Sawada Tsunayoshi because most of the papers were about Natsu. Ten whole pages, back to back, were full of Natsu's information while Sawada Tsunayonashi only has one page written upfront that hasn't even reached the end line of the whole paper.
Reborn came earlier than expected to Sawada's home. Or house if the information he gathered were all true. He landed at least in the afternoon in Namimori courtesy of the speed limit of the jet the Vongola was so proud about. Not that he really cared. But he couldn't ride anything more than private jets because well, he appeared to be a two-year-old baby. All those idiots treated him like one when he tried to ride once before for experience. But no, babies weren't allowed without supervisions. Fuck.
He stayed a little bit from the sidelines to make sure that there was at least someone home. And he was correct since Nana was there cooking whatever that one was. He knocked on the door like some polite person, heh, and saw how big Nana's eyes were. Now he knew where Sawada Tsunayoshi got his features. He was having doubts before on how the hell Tsunayoshi looked so nothing alike of his idiot father, for that he was thankful by the way, and Natsu got most of his features with Iemitsu with a little bit of difference. Now when he saw Nana's up close, then he was sure where Tsunayoshi got his genitals.
"Ciaossu." He greeted like a kid he appeared to be. And guess what Nana did? Of course she squealed about how cute he was and stuff. Reborn all knew too well how he was so cute with this baby form and how women from the mafia who rarely saw his adult form defined him as attractive and hot. Heh.
"And who might you be little one?" Nana asked. "I'm the home tutor, Reborn." He smirked when Nana was making a thinking face. She smiled, nodded, and ushered him inside his house. Reborn, from his observation, Nana had no clue what mostly was happening in this world. Ah, he really needed some brief information about this family. There was something odd going on.
Reborn waited patiently inside the kitchen drinking his espresso that he so specially requested while his fedora slightly bent downward hiding most of his features again. Petting Leon on his side, he smirked. The front door opened. He made his way to the living room and wasn't that surprised when no one greeted, "I'm home." Of course, Sawada Tsunayonashi was there.
"Ciaossu." He greeted and he noticed how the other boy tensed a little before smiling down at him. Rebonr noticed how the smile was genuine as if the boy didn't have problems at all. As if he was not in pain. Because once Sawada Tsunayoshi stepped on that front door, Reborn already noticed how the older twin was holding his backpack awkwardly. Indicating that he has bruises all over his body that he was afraid to touch, he frowned.
He stepped forward, jumping to Tsuna's brown lock hair – he silently noted on the back of his mind how soft and comfy it was – and slapped the boy's forehead with his little hand, and he felt how hot the other was. Damn, he's sick. He frowned and then stated, "You're sick." Reborn got a soft nod because if Tsuna even nodded a little Tsuna was afraid the baby on Tsuna's head would fall off.
Reborn hummed in reply and let the older twin walked to his room. He noted again that Tsunayoshi didn't even greet his mom, although he noticed how Tsunayoshi looked at his mom longingly as if he wanted something. That something, Reborn didn't have any idea. But he would investigate after the meeting between him and his student, Sawada Natsu.
.
Tsuna went to his room and pulled out from his closet for the first aid kit he bought himself. He touched his bruises that were all over his body. Ugh, it hurts like hell. Especially the ones on his shoulder, the one those bullies used their all force. Tsuna winced when he applied an alcohol on each of his bruises, and applied a betadine. He waited at least minutes to dry most of it and sighed when he knew this was all over. He flopped down on his bed, almost cursing himself for being stupid because he inflicted another pain to his body. He looked at the ceiling and closed his eyes.
Peace.
He hummed a little before getting up and tried finishing his homework. All this stuff looked all gibberish to him, but he tried to understand. Before he could start though, he heard the front door open. So, Natsu came back home already, that was fast. Tsuna thought his brother would at least stay behind more since he usually hangs out with his friends. Maybe it has something to do with that baby.
Come to think of it, he sensed something about that baby. Call it intuition or something, but he felt a strong aura coming from that little body. And then it vanish the instant the baby looked at him. He did a double take about that, but somewhere down there, he knew the baby was far from normal. He wasn't intelligent or intellectual, but he has this something nagging on the back of his mind that something or someone was trying to teach him. Trying to coach him, for reasons he didn't know. But when he heard that voice talking to him from his inner core, deep and baritone, he found himself trusting those words.
He heard talking, but he couldn't understand what has been said so he got up from his desk, and walked a half way downstairs to at least hear some of the conversation. "I'm your home tutor, Reborn." He heard the small voice said, and then laughter. His brother, he mused. "You're my home tutor? You've got to be kidding me. If you want to tutor someone, go tutor my twin. He sure needed someone like you, baby." His brother said between hysterics. Tsuna vaguely heard a yelp before the little voice spoke again. "I told you, I'm your home tutor. Let's talk inside your room, if you still don't believe me I'll explain it you. Maman, thanks for the coffee." And Tsuna soon heard footsteps coming to his way.
.
Reborn greeted his student and he wasn't surprised when the other laughed at him. Of course, he always got that reaction since he was a baby and all. But really, it irked him when the boy mentioned his twin so casually as if mocking him, but Nana – who was watching from the kitchen – didn't even catch the mockery behind her son's words. Seriously, what is going on with this family? If he could even call it a family, he mused.
He hid his distaste when he repeated his words of being Natsu's tutor. He kicked him because well, he felt like it. And then they went to the stairs. He knew someone was eavesdropping so he let his voice be heard through the whole house when he greeted Natsu. He couldn't shake the feeling that he wanted the other Sawada to know what was going on. So he let it slide because he hasn't doubted his own intuition before. It made his life easier than before he soon learned that he would relive his childhood.
"Dame-Tsuna, open this door!" Natsu banged his brother's door. Stupid baby, he demanded to go inside his brother's room because they would have a talk. Like hell, he cared. He was only being patient because of his mom watching, so he complied. Reborn waited for the door to open. And when it did, he was surprised to see that the older twin's room was as clean as nothing. The walls were painted sky blue, curtains were white, and the bed was orange and blue. He also noticed the study table with its lampshade, the guitar that was placed neatly on the other side of the bed. And nothing more than that, he mused. What the hell?
"Do you need something?" Tsuna asked softly. Reborn couldn't help but be drawn to that voice. There was something endearing about Tsunayoshi's voice. But he ignored it and barged inside the room. Natsu following suit because he didn't want the baby to contaminate the germs inside his older twin's room – not that he has something to say. His room was a lot worse, in fact nothing compared to this, but no one knew that besides the people inside this very house.
"Okay, I'll explain what I'm here for. I'm going to be Natsu's home tutor, not only in school but also to be the next Vongola Boss." Reborn waited until the twins grasp the reality that he was a born hitman and not only someone who didn't have anything to do in life. "Vongola Boss? The hell was that?" Natsu asked, eyeing his brother who was still in deep thought. Or he wasn't thinking at all.
"I'm the World's Greatest Hitman, Reborn. I'm here to teach you to be the next Vongola Boss, the Decimo in fact. Vongola Famiglia is the strongest Mafia Family. You, Natsu Sawada, is acquainted to take the role of the next boss which by the way in the generation of Tenth. Vongola Nono, the ninth boss, and the External Advisor of CEDEF chose you to be the next successor of Vongola." Reborn waited until Natsu could catch up because from the way Tsunayoshi looked like, he wasn't listening at all. And damn it, he couldn't read what Tsunayoshi was thinking at the moment.
"Why do you think I will join this Mafia thing? Are you kidding me? I'm sixteen, for god's sake." Natsu reasoned, while looking at his brother's reaction. He really wanted to irk his brother, but no. He got no reaction at all because the idiot was still thinking about something. Reborn cleared his throat and spoke again, this time with his baritone voice that he could muster with this stupid kiddy-like voice.
"You are descendants of Primo. Ieyasu Giotto Sawada, the founder of the Vongola Famiglia 400 years back. Your father, Iemitsu, is related to him too but he already got a position (Reborn didn't evaluate which position that idiot got, but from the looks of it the twin already has the conclusion that Iemitsu most likely was part of Mafia). And you, Sawada Natsu is chosen to be next tenth boss of Vongola." Natsu didn't really believe any of it considering it came from a baby, but he would go along with it. According to this baby's information, the Vongola was, still is the strongest famiglia from the underground so if he could get that position, then he would be the strongest. Strongest, he meant stronger than that Hibari Kyoya.
"Well, goodnight. I will explain all of this to you tomorrow. For now, I will train you tomorrow. Ciao." And Reborn was off sleeping next to Tsuna's bed. The hell? Natsu shook his head and smirked evilly before looking at his disgusting brother, then made his way to his own room.
.
Tsuna went back to his homework and tried finishing it all even if most of it were all gibberish to him. After he finished, he made his way to his bed only to find that the baby was still there snoring loudly. He sighed and placed all his notebooks inside his backpack before sitting at the end of his bed, and placing his guitar next to him. He closed his eyes as he remembered the song that the man from his dream sang to him. He always got this feeling that the man from his dream was somewhat related to that Primo that this baby was talking about earlier. And then the name, Vongola, he couldn't help but recognized that name. It appeared several times inside the song that the man from his dreams always sang.
He hummed alongside with his guitar softly and stopped when he heard his bed slightly moved. And then he saw the kid was standing, and his fedora was slightly bent downward. Wasn't the kid just had his sleeping pajamas earlier? Wow, that was faster than Tsuna when he was late from waking up.
"Where did you learn that song?" Reborn demanded. Tsuna stopped strumming his guitar and faced the kid. Something about that tone made him want to run and hide somewhere, but he still answered. "A man always sings it to me before in my dream. I don't understand how I can remember that, but when I open my eyes that song is stuck in my head together with that man's sunset eyes. Why do you ask?" Wow, that was the longest sentence he had ever said in his entire life. He smiled when he heard his voice slightly rasped from not being used, but still. There was a delighted feeling that someone asked him, even if it's not related to his well-being. He was sure that his answer was heard.
Reborn hummed in reply before nodding to the boy. Tsuna smiled in return and placed his guitar to its place and scooted over to the other side of the bed so the baby could move freely when he's asleep. He placed his arms on the back of his head, looking at the ceiling, and closed his eyes peacefully. Somehow, the kid right beside him made him relax for some reason. As if he felt the sense of being safe.
.
Tsuna could hear loud shots from the other side of the room when he woke up. He looked at his clock and sighed, it was still six am in the morning. He still has three hours before school, damn it. He groggily sat up from his bed and noticed that the kid wasn't there anymore. Perhaps the loud bangs and shots were from him, he could guess much. From all the information that he had heard yesterday, he had his own summarization. Reborn was in the mafia, his father was in the mafia, his brother would be in the mafia, and Reborn was the World's Greatest Hitman. So, these bangs were not at all strange from all the oddities the kid showed yesterday.
Tsuna stood up from his bed, rummaged his closet, and pulled out his uniform. He went to the bathroom downstairs but not before tripping in the air, and proceeded to take a bath. He might as well go to school earlier than usual today. He didn't fail to notice when he got out from the bathroom that his brother's face looked haggard. Hah, he must have dodged the bullets for his dear life. Tsuna shuddered at the thought, it's a good thing he wasn't the one chose as the Vongola Decimo.
He didn't even want to be part of the mafia to begin with. He sat down on the farthest chair, missing how Reborn raised his eyebrow at that gesture, and Tsuna mentally smacked himself for forgetting that his mom forgot about his breakfast again. He stood up from his chair and went to the toaster. Before he placed the bread inside, he heard a cocking gun, and looked at Reborn's seat. It was aimed at him, great.
He tilted his head to the side, piece of bread in his left hand, and tried his very best not to be intimidated by the green gun aimed directly at his head. "You're eating here." The baby demanded, Tsuna would have protested but his mother beat him to it. "Ara, Tsu-kun, I didn't notice you there. Come sit, come sit." She said while smiling brightly. Tsuna placed his bread down and walked to the farthest of the table, but the sound of the gun was heard again. Damn it. He turned around and saw Reborn looking at him then to the seat next to Nana's. Damn it all.
"Itadakimasu."
Tsuna ate in silence, while the three occupants from the kitchen were all rowdy. Reborn was stealing Natsu's food while Nana was squealing on how cute the two were. Tsuna lowered his head and smiled sadly. Of course, his existence in this family was nothing but the wind. Like damn, that's a good realization he mused.
"Dame-Tsuna, aren't you going already? You're always earlier than me." Natsu pointed, although Tsuna caught what the second meaning of that sentence. Get out of here, you're making me sick. And it seems that Reborn also caught on the words, but Nana didn't. She always didn't. Tsuna bowed his head, thanks the food, and walked to the door. He was two hours early, but nah at least he would have two hours of peace. He only hoped that the Discipline Chairman wouldn't see him crossing his gates in this early hour.
.
Reborn has been staying to the Sawada Household for the past three days and boy was he surprised. He noticed all the faults of Sawada's and the silent conflicts between the twins. There was no competition from Sawada Tsunayoshi but to Natsu Sawada, it seemed he's having a competition with his brother.
Reborn followed the two at school and he wasn't that surprise when Sawada Tsunayoshi was alone during lunch period and didn't approach his younger brother during those days Reborn observed the two. Reborn could guess that the two had an agreement not to approach each other because of the two's standard popularity. Natsu was considered prince on par with Sasagawa Kyoko, the school's princess, and ranging to the popularity of Yamamoto Takeshi, the baseball player.
And meanwhile, Tsunayoshi was considered as the most hated person in Namimori High.
Reborn had a brief observation of Sawada Natsu. The guy could handle the Vongola, Reborn mused. But there was something the way his student approached his peers. It was as if he was distancing himself to them but not really. You get the point? As if he was laughing, yet inside he wasn't. He was smiling, yet inside he wasn't. It was a contrary on how his student acted. As if all his actions were all but a scripted act from a play in the theater. That was what he observed. And bullshit, he wasn't called as the Greatest Hitman of the World if amateur actors could bypass his eyes. So, he would let this situation go on, but once he got his own decision. Cut the crap of betrayal, he wouldn't train someone as corrupted as the people he had killed before with his line of work.
Besides, he was an Arcobaleno. No matter how much they denied him, he was still an exception because he was part of the Tri-ni-set. The bearers of the curse they had when the Fated Day happened. He was still inclined by that fact, but he requested from Trident Shamal to erase his pasts. He was Reborn, the greatest hitman in the world, an Arcobaleno, and nothing more. Anyway, back onto the twins.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was a coward.
That's what Reborn had concluded the first day he followed the older twin in his school. The boy would run from the Chihuahua he encountered on his way home or on his way to school, while sometimes whimpered, but didn't scream. Reborn already had the daily planner of Tsunayoshi's daily routine. In the morning, he would eat – sat farther than most of them – and then he would walk to the door without even saying, "I'm off." In school, Tsunayoshi would often relax under the withered sakura tree in the backyard. Reborn noticed how bullies went to Tsunayoshi most often than not. They would bully him, not only verbally, but actions too such as kicking him in the gut. Punching him in the face, pinning him to the wall until they got his lunch money, and then leaving him bruised once the bell rang for last subject, but Reborn's conclusion was once again wrong about Sawada Tsunayoshi because…
Sawada Tsunayoshi has strong will not for himself, but for the others.
He followed the boy home the next day and saw how he was using the wall from the side street as to support himself. But something piqued his interest when a lady from not faraway was getting kicked by a bunch of thugs. Reborn noted that Tsunayoshi could be a fast runner, shaming all the runners in the whole wide world when needed. And then, the thing that surprised Reborn was that.
Tsunayoshi offered himself to be beaten while hugging the lady who was whimpering on the ground picking her stuff on the ground despite the injuries he gained yesterday and today.
Reborn never doubted his decision before. He himself was sure enough that Sawada Natsu would be a good boss for Vongola from what he had observed for the last two days. He only spared at least an hour of spying with Tsunayoshi, and the rest were all Natsu's. But now, he was regretting his decision. It was as if the realization hit him in the head when he saw that scene in his line of sight. And damn it, he couldn't help but cursed Iemitsu because once the thugs were done. He vaguely heard Tsunayoshi's words.
"A-are y-you o-okay, l-lady?" Tsunayoshi asked between gasps of pain the lady who was done crying and the stuff she managed to gather. And the lady whimpered again, but not from pain Reborn mused, but from out of gratefulness. It was an act of strength that Reborn hasn't seen Natsu had done before. The scene he managed to see was something that proved his conclusion wrong. Sawada Natsu would be a good leader for Vongola.
But damn it all, Sawada Tsunayoshi would be a great boss for Vongola.
.
"I'm going to find that Decimo and see if he is worth it. Sawada Natsu, I'm coming." A silver-haired teenage walked into airport, ignoring the screams of adoration directed to his way from the flight attendants inside the airport, and also on the plane. He has a mission to do. And he would make sure he would get it. Because once he won, he would become the next Vongola Boss.
.
"I have a mission for you son," the man with black hair and green eyes said. Tobacco on his mouth while spewing some smoke and faced his son with a stern look. The son whimpered, but said nothing. He only nodded while stuffing the things his father had told him to bring inside his afro hair.
Grenades. Bazooka. Shotgun. And of course, candies.
"You have to kill Reborn." And the man turned his chair around. The son nodded and proceeded his way to the door. He promised himself that he would obey because once he killed this Reborn. He would be accepted in the family. And then he would have his papa for himself.
.
"Class, we have a new student. Please enter the classroom, Gokudera-san." The teacher announced and the class started murmuring with themselves guessing whether the new student was a guy or a girl. Tsuna only spared a brief glance on the door and then turned his head around. Unlike his classmates, he wasn't interested in new students because most often than not, new students brought troubles. Well, at least for him because he was always the main target of those students.
"KYAAAA! HE'S SO CUTE!"
"OH MY GOD, HE'S SO DREAMY!"
"HE'S SO HOT!"
The girls squealed on the top of their lungs, and the whole classroom was filled with questions right here and there but all they got was a growl from the silver-haid new student. This earned him another pair of squealing, damn it. It was hurting all the eardrums of each of the guys inside the classroom including the teacher's and Tsuna's. Tsuna turned his face to the front and wasn't that surprised that the man looked so much foreign than Japanese. He had the feeling that Reborn had something to do with it.
The kid has been staying to their house for the past week now, and wow he would sure be lying to himself when he thought his brother running around with only boxers as his weapon to hide his masculinity considered not funny. Because damn it, his brother told Sasagawa Kyoko about his greatness, awesomeness with a pair of rubber ducky boxer shorts last Wednesday. He considered his brother lucky because the Disciplinary Committee on that day was having a meeting with the principal earlier that morning.
And then there's that fight with his brother and Mochida-senpai. Tsuna was there in the sidelines, watching the whole kendo-turned-pulling-hair match happened. It was the funniest match he had ever seen that he didn't have to cringe or mewl in pain because it wasn't least considered as violent. Sure, Mochida-senpai lost his hair, but still… It was kind of funny.
And now, Natsu was all over Sasagawa Kyoko. Not that Tsuna minded since he had long since forgotten his crush about Sasagawa Kyoko when he learned that his brother set his eyes on her. And Tsuna thinks that Sasagawa Kyoko also has feelings for his brother anyway, so he wouldn't interfere. And besides, there would always be that fact that he was Dame-Tsuna and Natsu was considered the Prince.
So a princess like Sasagawa Kyoko was more of a good pair with the prince, than the peasant.
"Gokudera-san, please sit down." The teacher said and Tsuna was out of his reverie because the new student kicked his arm chair. Great, now he has another bully too? But then he noticed how the silver head student was glaring at his brother, Natsu from the other side of the classroom. Was it connected to the information he heard before? Was Gokudera-san somewhat related to the Guardians? Well, he would observe.
.
"Please let me be your right-hand-man, Jyuudaime!" Gokudera bowed ninety percent degree in front of Sawada Natsu who was looking bored as usual because no one was around. He wore a different boxers today, Tsuna mused. Tsuna followed his brother at home and he wasn't that surprised when he saw the battle between his brother and Gokudera-san.
The two had fought and Gokudera was at advantage most of the time, but then when Reborn fired a shot. His brother shouted, "Reborn," and his clothes ripped apart again like it did when he had his fight with Mochida-senpai. Then the battle turned upside down from Gokudera on the lead to his brother fighting back. Then unexpected happened when Gokudera's dynamites (Tsuna still wondered where the hell Gokudera-san kept all his dynamites but anyway) landed on his feet, and barely managed to dodge all of it. So Reborn concluded his defeat because Gokudera-san could barely stand himself and Natsu's dying will flame (Reborn had told them about that too) was gone.
In the Mafia, the winner would get to be the leader and the loser would be the lap dog. So, when Gokudera-san accepted his defeat, he bowed his head low, and then that happened. Gokudera-san pleasing his brother to make him his right hand man.
"Why do you think I will do that?" Tsuna's brother said and Tsuna could see that Gokudera-san bit his lower lip. Tsuna was actually tempted to go there and dragged Gokudera-san to his room and fixed his bruises, but from what he had gathered that his brain could grasped. Gokudera-san wasn't the type of person who would let someone take care of them, let alone someone like him who was considered as the clumsiest person on Earth.
"All right, you'll be my right hand man. In one condition, don't call me Jyuudaime." His brother flashed a kind smile to Gokudera-san who jumping in joy, in fact Tsuna even saw Gokudera-san covered with flowers in the background. Although, it was strange not to see Reborn from anywhere near his brother, wasn't he supposed to tutor him?
"Natsu-sama, I shall accompany you to your house right away!" Gokudera-san said enthusiastically, completely forgetting the injuries he had acquired. Natsu stopped his tracks and faced Gokudera, flashing him that smile again, and said softly. "You're injured, Gokudera. No need to accompany me. I'm fine by myself. I insist." Gokudera-san beamed, and Tsuna could literally see so much worse than the flowering background. Gokudera-san has puppy eyes and damn it, waggling tail.
Tsuna heaved a sigh when the two were out of his sight. At least, nothing major happened. His brother gained another friend which wasn't really that new, and Gokudera-san seemed to be happy anyways so he wouldn't interfere. And from the looks of it, he was dreaming of being the right-hand-man of his brother so perhaps, he should say that this was appeased.
.
Reborn watched his student's fight with Gokudera. And he was damned if he said he wasn't disappointed. Natsu looked at him when he was fighting Gokudera and Gokudera was in advantage. It was a look that said, Damn it, help me out here! So he shot the dying will flame that was solely only for Natsu, and then the battle ended with Gokudera blowing himself up with his own dynamites. But what Reborn was disappointed was, it was the thing that Natsu didn't even help Gokudera. He didn't even spare a glance when someone was about to die right in front of him. Even if he was in dying will mode, the boy didn't do anything but stare. Again, Reborn was starting to doubt himself.
Then he sensed the presence of someone nearby. He wasn't really that surprised when he saw Natsu's twin, Tsunayoshi. And damn, Tsuna made Reborn smile just because of the twitching and his knitted eyebrows. Reborn could guess what was going on through Tsuna's mind the second his eyes landed on Gokudera's injuries. I wanted to apply the first aid kit, but I can't. Because, Gokudera-san doesn't look like he wants to have my help. Yes, Reborn's only thought when that realization hit him was.
Damn you, Iemitsu.
.
"So, here. Answer all of these questions and I'll check. You better get 80% of them or you know what will happen, my no-good student." Reborn threatened and cocked his gun. Natsu made a face but didn't say anything. He proceeded to answer all the questions, but got stuck in at least 20 of them. Damn it.
"Gyahahah! I finally found you, Reborn!" Natsu's head shot up and saw a kid with an afro hanging on the tree with, what the hell? Were those grenades?! He looked at Reborn, but Reborn was busy petting his chameleon. He tried saying, "Oi Reborn, there's someone out there." But all he got for an answer was a hummed, and then. The kid screamed again, "Damn you Reborn! I will kill you right now!" And then the next thing Natsu knew, his window was broken.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING KID?!" He screeched at the top of his lungs for the kid to understand that it was no fucking ordinary to throw grenades on someone's fucking window. It wasn't even normal for a kid who looked so much like five year old kid to carry grenades at all. What the hell was this kid's parents doing?
"To…le…rate…" And the kid cried nonstop inside Natsu's room (how on earth did he get in?) then the kid brought out a bazooka from his afro hair, together with Dame-Tsuna barging inside his room. Then the kid aimed the bazooka into himself, and then pink smoke engulfed the whole room. Natsu fanned himself and he could hear his brother's coughing. Why was his brother here anyway? Oh yes, of course. He must have heard the bombing and stuff, stupid Natsu.
"Yare. Yare." An adult voice?
.
Tsuna was trying to study inside his room when he heard explosions and stuff. Concerned about his brother's health, he rushed inside only to find a kid mewling and crying. Then the kid, (damn it where did he get that bazooka?) aimed the blue bazooka to himself, and then here they were. Facing a person who was nowhere near similar from the kid Tsuna saw earlier. Well, perhaps the cow printed shirt was similar, and the eyes were similar, but nothing more. He didn't even know if he was right about the eyes since one eye was closed, and the other was not. And the damn pink smoke was still there.
The guy, who wore a cow printed shirt, faced the occupants inside the room. But his eyes only focused on one person inside the room and that was Tsuna. Tsuna tilted his head to side, but was caught off guard when the guy who appeared inside the bazooka hugged him like he was his lifeline.
"Tsuna-nii," he said. And Tsuna who didn't know what to do than ran his fingers to the person's hair, leaned in at least a little to feel the warmth of this person he sensed no harm. Tsuna felt his shirt being soaked, but didn't question it. He didn't understand any of this all, but all he knew was that this guy, who appeared out of nowhere, has something to do with him.
"Ahem, and who might you be?" Tsuna turned his head to his brother's side and was surprised to see the window broken, the already messy room was left in dust, and Reborn on the side sipping his coffee. What the hell? The guy who was hugging him gave a death defying glare to Natsu's side and Natsu couldn't help but shiver in fright. Not that he showed any of that. Only Reborn saw that, but still he was collecting information. So he wouldn't help his student, not that he was planning earlier.
"I'm Lambo. Lambo Bovino. Yare, yare. My five minutes time is up. Reborn, it's good to see you." He nodded to Reborn and Reborn nodded his head as an acknowledgement. There was something Reborn noticed in Lambo's posture. He looked drained and perhaps, tired? And what's with the greeting with Tsunayoshi? And the cow even called Tsunayoshi his Tsuna-nii.
Lambo turned his body to face his Tsuna-nii, and tears welled up to the side of his eyes again. He hugged his Tsuna-nii one last time, said something to his ear, and Tsuna was left frozen with the five year old he saw earlier who was now by the way, licking an ice cream. Lambo whispered into his hear, so painful that he could never understand why it sounded like that, and said.
"I miss you so much, Tsuna-nii."
.
Lambo, even in his early age, knew that his father never cared for him. He was a nuisance to the Bovino Family and that was why he insisted on taking the mission of killing Reborn. Because maybe in that way, his father would accept him, but he had no idea Reborn was that strong.
He always wished his mama to be by his side at all times, to rock him like a baby he was used to. But no, his father had told him that his mama passed away. And Lambo was so broken that time that he didn't even know if he was seeing right. But all he knew was that, his mother's smile was gone. He wouldn't be able to see his mother again. But then when he went to the Sawada's household where Reborn was located, he couldn't help but smile. Because he thought he found his mama again. In the form of one Sawada Nana, he smiled. He got to call her Mama, and stay in this house as long as he wanted. But what topped Mama most, was his big brother.
In that simple gesture when he was crying for candy, his big brother approached him, ran his fingers through his hair (damn, that was sticky), carried him like a baby, rocked him like his mom used to do to him when he was crying, and then gave him a blueberry candy. In that simple gesture and that smile that warms his heart, he couldn't help but say that, "Hey, I found my big brother."
So, when night came, he chose to room with his big brother. Jumped like a little kid he was supposed to be and not some kid who was born to be a hitman, and sighed when he smelled his big brother's smell. When the lampshade was turned off, he snuggled to his big brother's warmth, whimpered, and said.
"Good night, Tsuna-nii."

Next Chapter: Requiem Blue and Gyoza Kempo
A/N: And no, this is not a romance story. Sure, I can make indications, but no. This story's main light is how Tsunayoshi-kun gathered his family, his friends with you know, by learning the colors.
Rikai and hyotei lover: Haha, thanks for the review!
chiyo-hime: Aww, thanks!
Faliara: Haha! Thanks!
Guest: Haha, no. In this fic, Tsuna is silent or he chose to be. Something like that, so he didn't have that trait. And I think it didn't suit the theme if I will add his manly shriek. Haha. Sorry. But thanks for the review!
