A/N: Hello and thank you for all of you who read the first chap, favorited and followed my fic and especially left a review~ You're the best! So here I am with the second chapter and lots of pressure o_o Seriously, there's so many of you.. But anyway, I'm going to answer here to those who're guests but first I need to tell this to all of you! Maybe I should've told this on the fist chapter but here we go: No male was nor will be pregnant in this fic. But as an answer to "how is there a kid", I can only say that just wait. You'll find out soon enough. In my fic, there's other ways than mpreg :D Also, sorry. There's not R27 on this chapter. But this is only the second chapter. You'll definitely get some love later.

Guest: Thank you~ Good to hear you found the first chap funny ^^
Crucifix HiME: Thanks for your comment :) I appreciate your opinion but nope. I wouldn't have added more to the future part. It's supposed to be a little vague. I don't want to tell everything right away in the first chapter, after all :D In the first version of the chapter there wasn't the future part at all, then the second part it was only a dialog so it means I told you more than I first planned telling. You'll have more R27 interaction in the future chapters, only not in this one. I answered already to the kid part above in author's notes but I'll tell the same again. This is not mpreg but you'll find out later how there's a kid. Just be patient~ And I agree that there's not enough R27 fics.
Lalaluv: Yay~ great you like it :D Hope you still like it after this chapter.
yuna: Ikr. It's cute (oh, did I say that myself just now? Ahaha~) But great you liked it :3 Here's the next chap, you're welcome!
EDIT/27.6.2016
Chapter 2 – Take care of him
The present, Namimori middle school
Tsuna opened his heavy eyelids only to be greeted by the infirmary's white ceiling. The brightness of it prickled his eyes and he just thought about giving up and falling back to sleep. It indeed did sound good. Only if his mind would stop whirling around, trying to tell him something. Why was he in the infirmary in the first place? What was he even doing before it?
Tsuna wrinkled his forehead in concentration. Something told him he was forgetting something very important but what was it? And somehow he just knew it'd cause lots of trouble for him. Maybe it was just better to forget, go home before anything else happened and continue his usual daily routine of running away from Reborn, doing homework, dodging Reborn's bullets, eating mom's mouth-watering food and once again avoiding Reborn.
Yup, that sounded just like a normal day he approved. Well, at least over that something that kept nagging him.
He was getting really warm under the heavy cover which made it impossible to sleep. He sighed mentally in frustration and simply gave in to his thoughts. Running away didn't look like an option.
So, what did he do before he fainted? Or that's what he thought happened, he didn't remember any kind of hit to the head and his head didn't ache. He searched for his memory, eyes comfortably closed.
He was at the super boring lesson when his intuition had gotten wild. Everyone had been safe though. Then he remembered the snickering thanks to that something Nezu had said. He didn't even try to remember what it was since it was nothing unusual the teacher mocked him in front of everyone. And to be honest, Tsuna didn't even care anymore. He had much bigger problems than some arrogant old man.
After that his memory tried once again hide from him, giving him only blank. He didn't give in though, since he knew the thing would worry him for the rest of the day as well as it was something everyone else'd seen. He got chills from only thinking about the next day at school. Maybe he should pretend to be sick and not go.
Yeah, right. Like it was an option. He needed only two words to drop the plan: Reborn and Hibari.
Suddenly his eyes flew open. Pink smoke. Something'd come with the pink cloud.
"Tou-chan!"
Tsuna nearly jumped off his bed. Only that he couldn't go very far.
He was half sitting, half lying down supporting himself with his elbows since he couldn't sit up completely. Instead of even trying to move he stared down to his lap eyes as wide as plates. There was a child sleeping peacefully, making quiet whimpering sounds because of Tsuna's sudden movement. The teen didn't even realize he was holding his breath until the little boy started to breath heavily again the interruption long forgotten. Tsuna exhaled tiredly. That'd given him almost a heart attac...
"Oh you're awake!"
"Hiie.." Tsuna clamped his hands onto his mouth before he screamed too loudly. The brunet turned his head quickly to his right and saw sheepishly smiling Yamamoto and glaring Gokudera. Tsuna wasn't quite sure was the glare directed at Yamamoto or the small bundle on his lap. Small arms wrapped around his abdomen even tighter, like sensing the murderous aura Gokudera was sending everywhere around him. Tsuna seriously didn't know what he was supposed to do with his hands which lay on his sides, doing nothing and feeling like they should pat the boy's head or something.
In the end the small teen simply decided to ignore his awkwardness and start to follow the heated and one-sided argument between his rain and storm guardians.
"You idiot! Don't scare Juudaime like that." Gokudera didn't even try to lower his voice. Tsuna peeked warily at the still sleeping child. For some reason he just didn't want to wake him up.
"Maa, maa, I don't think it was really that bad," Yamamoto said calmly, yet as loudly as Gokudera. Tsuna bit his lip.
"A-ano..."
"Shut it, baseball-freak! Juudaime's having his peaceful rest. Don't be so loud!"
You're just as loud, Gokudera-kun. Tsuna tried to get his friends attention again, to no avail.
"Eh? But he's awake already." Yamamoto scratched his head in wonder.
"Of course he is! You're disturbing his peace!"
I think you're disturbing someone else's peace too... A vivid image of the bloodthirsty prefect popped to Tsuna's mind. Okay, he had to do something right now.
"But he was sitting up already."
"It must've been because of that imposter brat!"
"But he's just a child and Tsuna's son." Yamamoto laughed to that. "Though I don't know when Tsuna had a kid."
"Err, hey guys..."
"You're really even more idiot than I thought. Do you even have brains?"
"G-Gokudera-kun? Hey?"
"Haha! Of course I have one! It'd be impossible to be alive without it."
"Then you must have a snail brain. Or a gold fish. I heard they can remember only for three seconds."
"Guys?"
"Really? Wow, that's cool!"
"Guys."
"No it isn't, you baseball-freak!"
"But just think about it-"
"No, I do-"
"Guys!"
Both of the boys stopped on their tracks, gaping at Tsuna comically. Tsuna would have laughed if he wasn't so busy checking that he hadn't woken his little burden up. The child trashed a little, showing discomfort from loud noises. Helplessly Tsuna watched and heard small, fragile weeps. He wasn't good with children, really, taking care of kids was more his mother's area but there'd been couple of time's he'd looked after Lambo and I-pin and when they'd been restless, he'd tried to calm them down. A shaky hand rose and landed on soft hair, starting to make shooting motions. Soon the child fell back to deep sleep and Tsuna couldn't help but sigh in relief. Maybe he had a soft spot for little children or maybe it was because the child looked so vulnerable, so small that he didn't dare to disturb this short moment of peace for him.
"Y-Yes, Juudaime?" Gokudera asked nervously. It was the first time Tsuna'd cut into their fighting like this. He was actually yelling. A little guilty, Tsuna pointed at the boy for explanation.
"Let's not wake him up, okay," he said in a hushed voice and smiled tentatively. His smile became brighter only when he saw Yamamoto laugh it off like nothing and Gokudera giving him a wide smile (with a respectful bow of course). Though, then the silver haired teen turned back to the mysterious child – who was probably from the future – and stared at him cautiously.
"Juudaime, are you sure this isn't a trap?" he asked, not taking his eyes off of the sleeping figure. Tsuna simply shook his head, not really as an answer, just to clear his head. He didn't know what to think about the child. Was he really his? And if he was then what was he doing in the past, alone? Where was Tsuna's older self? Hopefully not dead again. Tsuna paled a little and changed the trail of his thoughts back to the main point.
"I don't think so, Gokudera-kun," he answered, still stroking wild locks absentmindedly. His intuition didn't warn about the child, though it wasn't fully resting either. He just kind of knew the child hadn't lied and he couldn't even think how a child this young could even lie. Weren't the children the most honest ones amongst humans? "I just wonder what's wrong in the future. To send him here of all places..."
"Maybe it was an accident?" Yamamoto suggested, shrugging when the other two occupants turned to him. "Doesn't Lambo do that too?"
"Well yeah but he just changes places with his older self," Gokudera explained looking annoyed. "This kid doesn't even exist yet and if he did, he'd turn older, not younger!"
"Gokudera-kun," Tsuna hushed. The bomber turned red and looked penitent.
"S-Sorry, Juudaime..."
"It's okay," Tsuna rushed to say before Gokudera started to bang his head to the floor or something as random.
After a small silence, Tsuna finally said, "It might be true it was an accident like Yamamoto said." Gokudera looked startled, not quite knowing should he glare smiling Yamamoto down or agree with his Juudaime. "But not just with a ten-year-bazooka."
"Why don't we just ask him?"
Tsuna jumped for the umpteenth time that day (he couldn't really bring himself to remember how many times) and stifled his startled yell just in time. "Reborn! What are you doing here?" he hissed when he saw his sadistic home tutor sitting cross-legged at the other head of the bed, smirking. After the curse had broken he'd started to grow back to his original size and the growing speed was vast. Only in a year he'd grown to the size of an eight-year-old child which meant he was no longer a baby but a child bigger than the one on Tsuna's lap. The future-child was actually much shorter than the hitman.
"I came here after I heard about a small incident that happened during the math lesson," the ex-Arcobaleno explained with a sly twinkle in his eyes. It didn't look suitable for a little kid. Tsuna shuddered. "Everyone talks about it."
The young boss wanted to hide from the surface of the world and live the rest of his life as a hermit.
"You can't. You'll become a boss, remember."
"Just forget it..." He could easily see what others were talking about by now. How much time had passed since that incident?
"About an hour, Dame-Tsuna."
"Stop reading my mind, Reborn," he said as loudly as he dared. The hitman was definitely enjoying this way too much.
"You're just easy to read," he said back, "And if you're interested what they're talking about, some say that you forced yourself to some woman because no one loves you, some say you were actually the one to give the birth to the baby and some are just going to tease you about it for the rest of your school life."
Tsuna groaned and hid his face into his hands. Oh how he wanted to disappear or maybe send the kid back and tell him to never come in the first place. He didn't know how it'd work out but he couldn't think rationally thanks to his embarrassment.
Suddenly Reborn sighed heavily, sounding disappointed for some reason. "To think that you of all people would be a teen-dad, Dame-Tsuna." He pretended to wipe away a lone tear. "That poor woman."
"Reborn!"
This time he'd done it. But to think that the kid could actually sleep through all the noise in the first place. Little body moved slowly, arms tightening even more. Tsuna literally felt the hug and to be honest it was at least a little painful but he let it be. The kid had gone through a lot and must be looking for comfort from his dad. Tsuna blushed a little. He was actually a father? He had a child? Then he paused, watching as a small head rose to watch the room with sleepy eyes. With whom?
"Papa?"
No one answered to the child's question, not because they ignored him but because they just didn't know how to answer. Tsuna definitely wasn't ready to answer to a call 'papa' yet. He was only 15, dammit! Like he could just go and play daddy. He wasn't this child's dad. At least not yet. So he wouldn't act as a substitute either.
Little boy looked up at Tsuna and then broke into a heart-warming smile, his cheeks red. "Good morning, tou-chan. Did you sleep well?"
"Y-Yeah," Tsuna answered, not quite sure how he should react. He tried to smile but couldn't quite do it right. The kid didn't mind though. He gave one last hug and turned around with a full smile on. Then he stopped. Tsuna blinked, wondering what was going on. The child was unusually silent. He peered to look at his face and saw how the smile had faltered and he was looking at Reborn in bewilderment. Reborn looked straight back with his wide, black eyes.
Suddenly Tsuna realized the boy didn't recognize Reborn. He didn't know why, maybe the hitman had changed a lot in appearance since he was growing fast anyway. He was just about to start introducing the hitman to the child when he remembered he didn't even know the kid's name yet.
"Ano, what's your name?" he asked shyly. The boy blinked and turned his head to Tsuna, peering over his shoulder. He looked quite cute like that.
"What are you talking about, tou-chan?" Then his face lit up with excitement. "Oh, is this a game?"
Tsuna sweat-dropped and wondered if the kid fully understood the concept of time travel. He looked like he expected everyone to know him which was impossible. Maybe it was just a child's mind.
"Err, yeah, it's a game," Tsuna laughed nervously. "You tell me your name and I tell you mine."
Little head tilted to the side. "Hmm? Sounds like a boring game, tou-chan, but we can play it if you wanna."
Wow, even his own son made him look lame. He heard others' laughs but joined them after a moment of self-pity. "Well, yeah it does but I really don't know your name yet." He decided it was the best to tell the child the truth if he didn't know it yet. He just hoped he wouldn't shock the kid too much. "You're in the past so if you're really my son then you haven't been born yet."
Something flashed in brown eyes. "Ah! Bigger tou-chan said smaller tou-chan wouldn't know Yu-kun's name yet! He talked about time travel-thingy and said I can't say anything about my life and that Yu-kun's safe in the past!" Then he looked around him like searching something. "Is this the past? Tou-chan said he would come with me. Where is tou-chan?"
"I-I really don't know." Tsuna shared a look with his guardians and Reborn who was unusually quiet. If his older self hadn't shown up, something must've happened. He couldn't believe he'd let such a young child travel all alone in time without making sure he was safely there, first. He didn't want to worry the kid though so he changed the topic. "So your name's Yu-kun?"
The boy who called himself Yu-kun seemed to forget his missing tou-chan fast, concentrating on his younger daddy. "Yep! My name is Sawada Toshiyuki but everyone calls me Yuki or Yu-kun."
"I see. How old are you?"
The kid raised his small fingers up. "Five!"
"Eeh? So you're already a big boy, huh?" Yamamoto put in. Tsuna was relieved of that. For some reason he was acting nervous around the child and he still wasn't quite sure how to treat children. Especially if it was his own... Well, he knew least of that. He watched as Toshiyuki nodded enthusiastically.
"Ah!" The boy looked once again like he remembered something important. Everyone in the room waited, some holding their breaths some still not knowing what to think. Chubby hand went to the inside of a smart jacket and soon came back with an envelope clutched in it. "Tou-chan told me to give this if he wasn't here." Then he handed it to startled Tsuna who automatically started to smooth wrinkles on the paper. Then he read what it said on top.
'To Sawada Tsunayoshi'
"Juudaime, please be careful," Gokudera said, opening his mouth for the first time after Toshiyuki's waking. "There might be a razor or poison in it."
"What are you talking about, Gokudera," Yamamoto said. "It's a letter from the future Tsuna to the past Tsuna. Haha, it's weird, isn't it!"
Tsuna nodded and turned the envelope around to see the Vongola crest. Gokudera saw it too and was quiet once again. With shaking fingers Tsuna opened it and started to read.
Dear Tsuna (or me in this case),
If you get this letter, it means I couldn't make it with my son for some reason or another. Just that you know I had all intentions to go with him but you can never be too careful. That's why I wrote this letter.
I know you all must wonder why I sent my son, Toshiyuki, to your time. The truth is that he's targeted and sending him to the past was the last option we had left. He's not safe in our time, we've given our everything but they just keep finding him. We sent him to you so you can look after him for a time being. I'm coming to get him personally when we've destroyed the enemy.
As for the reason why Toshiyuki's targeted - I'm sorry but I can't tell you much because it might alter the future or you might be shocked but let's just say he's one special little boy. The enemy famiglia has noticed that too and they want him, whatever their reason is, I'm not sure. I can only guess.
Anyway, I'd be the most thankful if you looked after my (and your) son just for a while. He's a well behaving boy so he shouldn't cause you too much trouble. Also, burn the letter after you've read it so it doesn't get into the hands of the enemy. Just to be sure, of course.
With love,
Sawada Tsunayoshi
Vongola Decimo
Tsuna finished reading the letter aloud, everyone listening to his every word carefully. Even Yu-kun had stopped to listen. There was a dying will flame flickering on top of the paper which pretty much confirmed it was authentic. Even Gokudera had to drop it for now and accept that the child indeed was Tsuna's future son. He showed his remorse very loudly, banging his head against the floor. While Tsuna and Yamamoto tried to tear the too faithful right-hand-man off the floor, Yuki laughed quietly at the very familiar scene.
They were all so focused on what was going on that Tsuna almost didn't notice a fedora wearing boy jumping off the bed and heading for the door. Without a word the hitman was gone and Tsuna frowned. All that was left behind was a pile of ash from the letter his future self had told to burn.
The future, The Vongola hideout, Meeting room
"What is it, Juudaime? What's the emergency?"
Everyone in the room were uncharacterically quiet and still. Every single pair of eyes were looking at Tsuna who sat at the head of a long table. From each side of it sat his seven guardians: on his right Gokudera, Yamamoto and Hibari and on his left Ryohei, Mukuro, Chrome and Lambo. Neither Mukuro nor Hibari tried to fight each other and Mukuro wasn't even complaining about sitting in the meeting with the mafia. Lambo wasn't whining how bored he was and Gokudera wasn't trying to pick a fight with anyone. Tsuna had all their attention which would have made him nervous only a few years ago but now he simply sat there and looked each of them in the eye.
"Yuki left today," Tsuna said and paused, trying to calm himself. His heart had suddenly started to beat faster. He wasn't useful if he gave in to his fears.
"So?" Mukuro asked, raising a brow. He leaned back on his chair, exploring his nails. "Wasn't that what you wanted?"
"Yeah," Tsuna said and unlike his mist guardian, sat even straighter. "Only that he left alone."
"What?" Ryohei almost yelled. "Did you let him go extremely alone?" Hibari raised his head showing mild interest.
"Of course he didn't, lawn-head!" Gokudera striked back before Tsuna even had a chance to open his mouth. "You know very well Juudaime's not like that. Right, Juudaime?"
Tsuna nodded, lowering his hands on his lap, looking at them intently for a moment. He frowned. "Something went wrong and Yuki left alone. I couldn't go after him."
"Did the time machine break?"
"Was it an enemy?"
The boss of Vongola shook his head to his rain and sun guardians. "We don't know yet. Giannini, Spanner and Shoichi are trying to find out. Looks like the machine's not cooperating with them."
"Tsk. How am I not surprised?" Gokudera glared at the table like it was the three said technicians. Tsuna really pitied them if they ever encountered the storm even though he himself was still at least a little bit angry too. But now wasn't the time to show it, he'd deal with them later when this all was over.
"Though, that wasn't the only reason why I called you here." Everyone was quiet once again. "It's time to take action now that Yuki's safe."
"Heh?" Hibari leaned in, his eyes gleaming. "So we're finally going after blood?" Other guardians glanced at the ex-prefect warily, feeling the deathly aura that was emitting from him.
"Yes, they've fooled around long enough," Tsuna said with a serious face. His brown eyes looked like they were on fire. "Let's show them what the Vongola's made of."
"Hell yes!" Gokudera panged his fist to the table, looking ready to head into action whenever his boss told so.
"I still can't believe we haven't found their location," Yamamoto said, looking at Tsuna.
"It's simply because they're sly bastards but weak when it comes to combat," Gokudera sheeted. "That's why they hide from us. They can't take us head on."
It was true. According to the information Hibari and Mukuro'd found the Ingegno family consisted of scientist. They didn't have much experience when it came to fights but were superior with their advanced technology, research on human body and hiding. Rumors say too that every single member of the famiglia was a mist flame user. Tsuna didn't know how it was even possible to find so many scientists who could use mist type flame and have an IQ much better than the average. They were physically weak but mentally superior. At this point they'd managed to hide their location from Vongola as well as make their surprise attacks in order to kidnap Vongloa Decimo's son. Though, Vongola wasn't the most powerful mafia family for nothing. To this point they'd managed to keep Yuki safe and now that he wasn't there where they had to keep a constant eye on him and worry, they'd show them the Vongola's true power.
And they'd regret the day they ever decided to target his son. Sawada Tsunayoshi wasn't someone you wanted to mess with when he was angry. Even though he was the kindest mafioso according to Fuuta's rankings, he was also the most frightening one if someone dared to threaten his family.
Now he was ready to make his home peaceful again so his Yuki could live there without worries, have a normal childhood. Tsuna raised his eyes to his guardians, showing the power that got even his scariest family member show some respect. He said with a deep, final voice, "This time they're not gonna run from us."
Everyone nodded, looking grave. They knew it was once again time for action and when Tsuna laid his orders, they complied without question.
A/N: I tried the make this chapter longer but it wanted to end here. I had no choice. Also, I hope this wasn't boring or anything. This chapter was necessary. The action, cuter scenes and R27 will come later. (I bet I forgot to tell something important.. Oh well, I'll live without telling it.)
Ah, ah, ah! I got a new fanfiction idea! This time it's G27 (or at least some kind of veeeeeery close friendship) and it will have mirrors, depressed Tsuna, not-boss Tsu-kun and the Vongola mansion (or that's what I planend).
