Un Fiore Per Te
Summary: A mother knows no boundaries when her child's life is in danger. And to protect her daughter, Sawada Nana would do anything. FemTsuna. ShortChapters - Longer Chapters in the future.
Beta: CeresNamikaze (No one is perfect, so maybe you can find an error here and there!)
Just a warning: FemTsuna, AU, Language, Clichés, more in the future…
Just so you know (Name): Tsuna writes as "Bond" while Hana writes as "Flower". In my mind I see the meaning of this name as "A Flower's Bonds". I have not seen the name Tsunahana used before so I can't really confirm that I created it (Although I do believe so…)
I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or anything related to Marvel!
Chapter II. Cinquefoil for Beloved Daughter
Iemitsu and his boss barely looked up after Nana informed them that she would be taking her daughter to buy some tofu for dinner.
She ignored the way her heart squeezed painfully at the realization that her husband was more interested in his boss than in them but Nana still held her daughter's hand firmly as they walked to the main street to call for a taxi.
They took the train to Tokyo and another taxi to reach their destination, a small orphanage in the west of the city. The city was close to Namimori Town but something told Nana that her husband would never look for Tsu-chan there.
Tsu-chan didn't say anything as she played with her bear and merely followed behind Nana when they reached the small orphanage.
They stopped not too far from it.
"Tsu-chan will be safe here. Mama grew up here before Uncle found her so until Mama comes back, Tsu-chan will…" Nana closed her eyes, painfully. "Tsu-chan will have to live here for a while... She will like it."
Tsu-chan nodded, accepting her bag and looking at the rather nice looking house before turning her attention back to her mother.
"Tsu-chan loves Mama the most." Her daughter said, believing everything her mother said when any other child would have thrown a fit and cried to not be left behind. "She will wait for Mama to come back."
Raising her hands, Tsu-chan offered her bear. Nana accepted it with shaky hands, almost afraid that any abrupt movement from her part would either end with her breaking apart or turning back on her decision.
"Teddy will keep Mama safe while Tsu-chan is gone."
Gods, Nana sobbed as she walked away and tried to ignore those doe-like eyes fixed on her back, what had she done to deserve this child?
Iemitsu, of course, questioned her when he finally – finally – noticed her daughter's absence in the house. His boss had a confused frown as she sputtered lie after lie between tears and sobs, but the old Italian man never said anything aside from the fact that he would help look for the "missing" child.
He gave her a long, searching look before following Iemitsu out of the house. Nana only relaxed when the two disappeared from view and allowed herself walk upstairs.
With Teddy in her hands, she opened the door of Tsu-chan's room and sat down on the bed.
Maybe if she stayed there, she could convince herself that her choice had been for the best. That there had been no other alternative. And maybe she could convince herself that all Tsu-chan's love and loyalty were well deserved.
Nana was already tired of lying to herself though.
