Many asked, and I was inspired so... hope you enjoy it.
Sept. 15 of 2006
It was a normal mourning at the Sawada household. In one of the rooms, Iemitsu and Nana slept peacefully, as so did their twins in the other room.
Time passed and the sun was rising, the house was getting full of life as the couple woke up. Nana went straight to prepare the breakfast and Iemitsu went to the airport after having a cup of coffee. His boss was going to have a little vacations in Japan, and he offerred his home as a place for him to stay.
"Tsu-kun, Nari-kun wake up! Grandpa is comming soon!" Nana beamed from the step groove of the stairs, as she shouted to wake up the boys.
.
The room was dark and soft snore could be heard from the boys. Tsuna's eyes flashed open when he heard his mother call out for them. At that moment he knew this day would suck. 'Ugh...' "Wake up, Nari." Said Tsuna as he throwed one of his pillows straight to the younger boy's face. He smirked when the one started to mumble words as he seated on the bed.
Tsuna actually liked his younger brother, he always was there for him. But he couldn't deny that he felt envy towards Ienari. They were exactly alike. They liked the same things, and they were both good at the same things. So why did their parents only bragged about Ienari?
Hatred was slowly taking it's way in his heart, and he knew it. Today would be one of those days; his "grandpa" was comming to visit them, so it would be another day full of "Nari this", "Nari that", and that annoyed him very much. He knew his brother tried to make them say good things about him, but it was always going to end with "Oh yeah...but Nari-kun..."
"Mourning, big brother." Said a sleepy Ienari while he rubbed his eyes. Tsuna seated on the bed and yawned, not answering the other boy.
"Ne Tsuna..." He countinued when his brother glanced at him. "You know...why are you ignoring me lately? Do you hate me?"
He sighed, he could only sigh when he asks that questiong. It's always like that...
.
Tsuna begged his parents to let him keep a kitty he had found in the streets, but they said no. In that exact same day, Nari came home with a dog, and it became part of the family.
Tsuna was hurt, his heart hurt a lot that day, he couldn't help but cry in silence as he heard his brother words that night. "Ne Tsuna... Do you hate me?" and as much as Tsuna wanted to say yes, he gave his little brother a small smile and ruffled his hair whispering in his ear "I would never."
He didn't know what was going on inside his brothers head, but he knew what was inside his own, and he knew he loved his brother, even tho their parents obviously liked his brother better, Tsuna would never feel anything against him... he thought.
A week later both of them got and A+ in a math test, and Nari could choose what they would have for dinner. 'Maybe they'll let me choose the dessert' Tsuna thought, as he looked hopeful to his parents. After the meal that night, however, Iemitsu only brought strawberry ice cream, Nari's favorite...Tsuna hated strawberry ice cream.
The said swallowed a lump and went to his shared room without uttering a word, he layed on his bed, didn't intent to sleep, but unwittingly dozed off.
"Hey...big brother..." Tsua felt someone shake him on the shoulders as his eyes openned and he stared coldly at his 'copy' in front of him. "What?"
"You know... I was happy for you with your A+..." Tsuna only rolled his eyes and then closed them again. "Tsuna... I'm sorry..." Tsuna openned his eyes once more, staring at him as he seated on his bed, the older boy shoved him off. "I didn't allow you." was all he said.
Ienari looked hurt as he whispered in an audible tone. "Do you hate me?" 'Maybe...' he thought. "I would never..." Tsuna ruffled Nari's hair and smiled a little. "Goodnight, Nari. I'm tired."
Nari smiled brightly as he was happy to hear his brother's answer.
.
Tsunawalked towards his brother bed, and ruffled his hair, whispering an "I would never..." on his ear and then went straight to the bathroom for his mourning routines.
Later that day, Iemitsu came back with an elderly man with him, both of them grinned when spotted the twins watching TV on the liviing room.
"Boys, come say hello to grandpa!" Iemitsu said with a gooffy smile as the elder man stepped in the living room.
"Well, hello boys, remember grandpa?" He smiled, a kind smile. Tsuna knew he was a kind man, he could feel it. Both of the boys stared at him for a while, and soon, Ienari jumped of his seat. "Grandpa! Grandpa!" And hugged him tightly, followed by Tsuna, who only smiled a little at him.
"It's been a long time huh? How are you boys? Iemitsu, bring their presents over here." He smiled once more, now hugging both of the boys and than seating on the couch with the boys on his lap.
Nana came out of the kitchen and said in a bright tone "Lunch is ready! Boys, grandpa, come! Come!" She sang it as they proceded to the kitchen, seating at their respective seats on the table.
"Well Nana, tell me about them. It must be hard raising two at the same time huh? They grow up quite a lot since the last time i came here." Nana smiled as she looked at Iemitsu and than to the boys. "Oh, it's nothing! Nari is a great boy, he recently got full marks in the exams, and he is on the soccer team of the school."
Nari gazed at his brother with eyes full of worry as the other sat still, not touching his food. "Bi-big brother also got full marks..." He stuttered as looking at his parents.
"Really, Tsuna?" When the boy nodded, Timoteo continued. "Well tell me more about him, Nana, Iemitsu!" He smiled a kind smile once more, but already knew what was happening. 'Too much for one, too little for the other huh?'
"Oh, he's a good boy..." Nana grinned and Iemitsu nodded his head at Timoteo.
Tsuna clenched the fork in his hand 'How could you always do that with me?!' 'Why would you never say something good about me?' 'If i was the only one, this would be better... What am I thinking?' 'But that's true...' Tsuna stared at his food as his breath became heavy. "I'm full." The boy jumped from his seat and went outside.
"Ok dear!" Nana beamed, and looked at Timoteo once more, as procedded to brag about Ienari. Timoteo glanced at the older twin's plate. "He barely touched the food..."
"That's ok, he's a peaceful child, Timoteo, he doesn't eat much." Iemitsu words echoed throught his head, as Nari watched in horror how they dindn't care at all about his older brother, a lump was formed in his throat as a deep silence took the room.
"You should be careful with the way you raise a child, when you spoil one too much, and neglects the other, things can become a little uneasy in the future... Just an old man's advise for a young couple." He chuckled a little as the parents laughed drily and soon changed the topic of the conversation.
.
Tsuna was seating in the balcony as the breeze made contact with his skin. 'I can't take this anymore...' He wanted to cry, but he lost it far too long ago. He stared sadly at the leaves that falled with the autumn breeze. A hand touching his shoulder and suddenly wraping around his back. "Ne, big brother...I'm sorry" there was a only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves as both of the boys sat still; "Do you hate me?" Ienari started to sniff and wet Tsuna's tshirt as the said boy smiled... a sad smile, he never answered that question.
A little prelude of the first chapter. How was it? I pretend to add one more chapter to this story. I hope my readers had the chance to understand Tsuna more.
