Chapter Two: Adapting.
"Now, could you choose which clothes that you like?" Feliciano asked to Tsuna.
Apparently, after realizing that they don't have a single child clothes, they go shopping for some clothes for the new little kid in their house.
Now, Feliciano is dressed in long sleeved plain white button-up shirt while wearing a black shirt with a Prussian eagle on it inside while Gilbert also wore the same white button up shirt and wearing a white t-shirt with Italian flag pictured on it.
Oh, and did I mention that Feliciano happen to met Alfred and Matthias?
"Who is this little guy?" Alfred asked, lifting the kid off from the ground, grinning. Both Alfred and Matthias wore long sleeved shirts with each other's flag pictured on it.
"Well, Gilbert kinda found him in the street and he cannot control the urge to take him... and I like the kid, oh, and his name is Tsuna, ve." Feliciano explained.
"Umm, who is this two man, mister Feliciano?" Tsuna asked to Feliciano.
"Now, they are my friends, and I think you should begin to call us papa..." Feliciano said to Tsuna, ruffling his hair.
"Kesesese~, damn right! I'm going to be your awesome papa!" Gilbert laughed.
"Are you sure taht you didn't just miss someone that you clould brag to and hug like pillow now that Ludwig is all grown-up?" Matthias teased, nudging Gilbert in his side.
"I kinda do." Gilbert admitted.
"Don't worry, we all feel the same about it." Matthias said, smiling slightly to the Prussian.
"By the way, how's your relationship with Alf?" Gilbert asked to Matthias.
Matthias grinned, "He's amazing, and unlike his caretaker, his cooking is amazing, and he's even more amazing when..."
Matthias cut his sentence, seeing Alfred looking at him while pointing at Tsuna who didn't know that he was being pointed.
"You get the idea." Matthias finished.
Gilbert laughed, "I think I will get that a lot from now on."
"Warning: Major cock block for the next few years." Alfred joined the conversation, laughing.
"Wait, where's Feli?" Gilbert asked.
"He's with Tsuna looking around for some things, by the way, it's very unexpected from you bro." Alfred said, patting Gilbert on his shoulder.
"I'm surprised by myself, really." Gilbert mumbled, "Do you think... by doing this, I do something right?"
Both Matthias and Alfred's eyes darkened a bit, "That's... up to be decided, really."
"I just feel, that try to keep something so pure with using the hand that has killed thousands just feel so unawesome." Gilbert stated, clenching his hand, "Since the World War 2 and seeing what Ludwig do there always make me feels like I'm a failure as a brother, you know? I know he isn't in his right mind at that time, but..."
Matthias patted him, "Things will turn out right, believe me."
Gilbert stared at nothing, "I hope so."
Meanwhile, a similar thing is going on in Feliciano's mind.
'Is it right... to keep him?' Feliciano thought as he stared at the kid's back.
Indeed, his kill count isn't as high as some other European nations, but he has done a lot of terrible things in the past, then again, a lot of nations did.
"Papa Feliciano?" Tsuna called.
Feli binked and looked down to the kid, "Huh?"
"I-I just want to say I like this one..."Tsuna said timidly, looking down at the orange shirt he was holding.
Feliciano smiled, "Well, if you say so, ve."
"Thank you!" Tsuna smiled brightly.
'Ugh, I'm very not used to kids... especially when Gilbert's appearance is usually enough to drive kids away.' Feliciano thought.
The thing is, he used to flirt with girls a lot, but now he's with Gilbert, and Gil is the type who get jealous very easily, so he can't flirt with girls anymore, and he didn't usually hang out with kids, and the only adults that he met constantly is only the nations, and his bosses, so yeah.
After they finished shopping, they parted with Alfred and Matthias and went to Feliciano's house immediately.
"It's quite some time since we last shop for anything that isn't food." Feliciano stated, putting the plastic bags down.
"Because we're awesome with making clothes, we don't need to." Gilbert grinned, putting the one he was holding next to Feli's.
"Talking about that, they asked for some more design in madieval theme." Feliciano said.
Gilbert grinned, "See? I told you it's an awesome idea!"
Feliciano sighed, "Yes, yes it is, ve."
Tsuna looked at them in awe, "You two make cool shirts? It's amazing!"
Meanwhile...
"Do you think... the kid will be alright?" Alfred asked.
Matthias looked up from the newspaper he was reading, "Hm? Well, if it's about safety, you know better than to doubt the two."
"Not about that, after being his partner for a while and fighting against him myself, I know that he's very strong, but it's more like...mentally?" Alfred said, cuddling to his Danish boyfriend.
"They will be fine, I could see something special in that kid, and Gilbert and Feliciano could see it too, even though I still don't know what make the kid special, but it's just there, and I think it will help them with their own problem, and maybe for the other nations as well." Matthias said, stroking his American boyfriend's hair.
"What do you mean?" Alfred asked, looking up to his boyfriend.
"You will find out soon."
Back to the two...
Tsuna stared at his two "daddies" when they took off their clothes when they're going to sleep, and he noticed something.
"Umm, why both of you has pictures and some strange marks on your body?" Tsuna asked, pointing at Feliciano and Gilbert's now shirtless body.
Feliciano has a quite big tattoo on his bag, picturing two small fleur de lis connected upside down to each other with a big pair of wings spreading on his entire upper back, and a tattoo of Gilbert's name on his right shoulder, along with a hail mary and our father tattoo both on his lower back, with some bullet scars here and there, scars criss crossing on his back, and three pair of diagonal scars on the left side of his stomach.
And Gilbert has a crucifix tattoo on the left side of his abdomen, placed diagonally, a long rosary that twist on his right arm, loops on his back, and twists around his left arm., and ends with crucifixes on each side, Feli's full name on his thights and his favorite poems beside it, a Prussian eagle on his upper back and The Lord's prayer in German on his left side of chest, he has a lot of burn marks on his back and slice marks, he also has two long scars on his chest and on his stomach.
"Err, you will know when you're older, okay?" Gilbert said awkwardly.
No, even when Tsuna has grown up to be old enough to understand, it will still be very hard for them to explain everything to Tsuna, well, they are afraid that if Tsuna know what they has done in the past...
"Oh okay..." Tsuna said, looking crestfallen.
Both Feliciano and Gilbert walked to him and kneeled to the kid's eye level and smiled, "Don't worry, this isn't something wrong, and we're proud of this."
Indeed, the scars on their body is their mark of pride, and their reminder of their past that they should never forget, no matter how painful it was, and no matter how they hate themselves for their past.
Tsuna nodded, the Gilbert grinned, "Then let's go to sleep! We will go to World Meeting tomorrow!"
"World Meeting?" Tsuna asked, confused on what that mean.
"Well, you will meet our friends, and your "uncles"." Feliciano said, grinning mischievously.
Somewhere in Rome...
"Hatchi!"
"Lovi, did you catch a cold?" Antonio asked, stopping from his exercise for a while.
"No, I think someone is talking about me..."
Back to Feli, Gil and Tsu...
"Now, let's go to sleep." Feliciano smiled, hugging Tsuna before closing his eyes, Gilbert do the same.
'I hope... that my new daddies will love me and mommy, daddy, and big brother will be happy even without me...'
And with that, Tsuna fell asleep.
Chapter End.
