Theme: Succession
Length: 1754 words
Tsuna sighed tiredly, flopping down onto the king sized bed. At 24 years of age, Vongola Nono decided to put him in charge of the family completely, himself retiring to relax. Tsuna's hair was now slightly longer, and a bit tamer thanks to the extra length, but it still stuck up in the familiar brown spikes. Much to his disappointment, he was still fairly short, and even Lambo who was 15 was the same height as him. He had a bit of muscle on him now, but still remained slim, his figure slightly feminine like in his teenage years. His face had sharpened out though, losing the round boyish face and replaced with a calmer, more mature one. His personality had also greatly mellowed out, becoming much more like how a boss's should be, though sometimes his old dame one would still surface.
After Tsuna had graduated from high school at 18, he and his guardians had moved to Italy, or more specifically, the Vongola mansion. The last two years, Reborn had actually increased his training, now teaching him how to do all the formal things needed to become boss, including etiquette, greetings, negotiations, paperwork, even how to eat properly. He shuddered as he remembered the spartan lessons he had gone through to learn Italian within a month, mainly using lions, crocodiles, and showers of bullets to assault him every time he mispronounced a word.
He rubbed his eyes. Today had finally been the inheritance ceremony, basically an exact duplicate to the one he had when he was 14, minus the Shimon attack. They had stayed up late to celebrate the succession with all of the other mafia families, and as expected with his guardians, not to mention the Varia, things soon escalated to a full out 'friendly' brawl. It had taken him an hour to settle everyone down, though only twenty of those minutes were used to calm the guests. The rest of it was spent trying to separate his guardians, the main ones being Mukuro and Hibari, who had been lunging at each other throats like they wanted to murder the other. Which they probably did.
He sighed again, deciding not to think about it, as it only made him feel more drained. He raised his right hand above his head, staring at it. Sitting on his finger proudly was the Sky ring, the one that had so much blood stained on it from the past Vongola sins. He shook his head though, dismissing the thoughts. That was what he was for. He couldn't erase their past sins, but he could at least change their future, and set it back to the original purpose of Vongola Primo.
Vongola Primo… Would he be satisfied with this? Content that there was someone who was going to return the Vongola to it's original form? He silently asked himself. He was about to let his hand fall back to the bed, but suddenly a small light began to glow from the Vongola ring, directly where the center was. It quickly and steadily grew brighter, until it got to the point that he had to cover his eyes with his other hand. Just as quickly as it started however, it ended, the light quickly dying out to the small glow again before finally dispersing. Tsuna stared, confused, at the ring, but saw nothing odd. No new words were on it, the shape, size, everything was the same. He was about to dismiss it, when suddenly a voice sounded.
"Good evening, Vongola Decimo."
Tsuna jumped in shock at the voice. He mentally cursed in his head that someone had snuck into the room without his notice. Quickly, and with practiced ease, he rolled off the side of the bed opposite of the voice, landing in a crouch on the ground and his hands already reaching for his gloves, having mastered going into hyper dying will mode a few years ago. All actions froze however as eyes landed on an almost spitting image of himself. Granted, the person was taller and his features were definitely more masculine, but his hair was spiked in similar tufts, though it was a golden orange and a bit spikier. Deep, warm, pale orange eyes stared in mild amusement at Tsuna, who was still shocked.
"V-Vongola P-P-Primo?" Tsuna asked in a slightly high-pitched voice, stuttering in surprise. Realising how he was acting, as well as his speech issues, he quickly got out of his offensive position and smoothed his clothes down again, flushing in embarrassment. Normally you would think he would be wondering how his long dead predecessor was standing in front of him, but after everything he had had gone through, it was hard to keep him surprised for long. Besides, it wasn't like this was the first time Primo had appeared in front of him, though admittedly it had been 10 years.
If possible, his already crimson face darkened further as Primo chuckled in amusement.
"Hello again Tsunayoshi. I guess I should have realized you would probably act this way with me suddenly showing up."
Tsuna could only nod, not trusting his voice to stay stable. Another chuckle sounded from the Vongola's founder, and Tsuna couldn't help but think how attractive the sound was, though he mentally slapped himself the second he did.
"You can relax Decimo, no need to be so tense," Primo assured, offering a charming smile which made Tsuna blush all over again. He sat down on the edge of the bed the brunette had previously occupied, patting the spot beside him in invitation for Tsuna to sit beside him. Tsuna walked around the bed, hesitantly settling on the offered spot, albeit not without his seemingly permanent blush still there.
"U-um, why are you h-here, Primo?" Tsuna stuttered out, cursing again at his speech issue. The golden haired man beside him though only smiled reassuringly.
"Am I not allowed to congratulate my successor?" he asked, laughing lightly again when Tsuna only squeaked a response.
"As I said before, just relax Decimo. I'm not here to judge you at all."
"Tsuna."
Primo blinked in surprise as a small mumble came from Tsuna, who had averted his eyes to the ground.
"Pardon?"
Tsuna flushed slightly, but still responded, keeping his eyes on the carpeted floor of his large room.
"Y-you can just call me Tsuna, rather than Decimo or Tsunayoshi. It would make me feel more comfortable," he explained, flushing even darker. Primo smiled warmly.
"Then you have to call me Giotto, Tsuna," he countered, and laughed at the startled look in the brunette's eyes.
"E-eh?"
"Call me Giotto. When you call me Primo you make me feel so old," Giotto mock pouted, and Tsuna just stared at him. He didn't think that Giotto had a childish side to him like this, though, then again, the only time he had ever seen him was when he was in his hyper dying will mode, which basically ensured someone to be calm, mature, and serious.
"All right, G-Giotto-s-san," Tsuna stuttered out, blushing embarrassment. At least he could still add the honou-
"Only Giotto."
The smooth voice cut through his thoughts, and he quickly processed the words.
"I-I couldn't just call you Giotto. That would be disrespectful!" Tsuna exclaimed. However, the other only smirked.
"You just did, didn't you?" he asked, and the smaller male quickly went through the previous sentence. Upon the realization, he flushed a deep crimson again, before hanging his head in embarrassment.
"Fine, I-I'll call you Giotto then," he muttered, defeated, but luckily his face seemed to be cooling a bit, so he raised his head again to face Primo, who gave a satisfied smile. Really, who would have thought that Giotto was such a tease?
"Anyways, I wanted to congratulate you on your succession. You have truly earned it," he said warmly, a smile on is face. Tsuna couldn't help but smile very slightly in response, though a small blush resided on his cheeks as he stared at Vongola Primo.
"A-ah, thank you, G-Giotto. I hope I don't let you down," Tsuna responded shyly, and Giotto just smiled a bit more, before reaching over and ruffling the brunette's spiky hair. He noted silently to himself how soft it was, and surprisingly tangle free.
"Don't worry, Tsuna. I trust that you'll soon set the Vongola back on the right path," He assured warmly, laughing quietly again at Tsuna's face. He stared at the large chocolate brown eyes that were looking at his own, and felt his face heat up slightly as he looked at the innocent, yet matured face. He removed his hand, and no sooner had he done so than he did he feel a small tug back to the ring, urging him to finish up and return. Stretching briefly, Giotto stood up, his cloak falling back into place naturally from the slightly ruffled position it had been in when he had sat down.
"I would prefer to stay longer, but I can only be here for so long," he said, snapping Tsuna out of his daze from when he had looked into Primo's eyes. A small flash of disappointment crossed his face knowing that Giotto had to leave so soon, but it quickly disappeared, though not before the older male caught the look. He smiled warmly.
"Don't worry, it's not for good. I'll see you again soon," he assured, and Tsuna flushed in embarrassment at having been seen through so easily, but was nevertheless pleased at the words.
"A-ah, just don't strain yourself, Giotto," Tsuna quickly responded, only earning himself another smooth chuckle from the blond haired man.
"Don't worry Tsuna, I'll make sure to watch myself," he said amusedly.
"Until then I guess, Decimo. Buona Notte," he murmured the last part in Italian, before bending forwards. Not even giving Tsuna a chance to react, he kissed the smaller male. Tsuna's eyes quickly widened in shock, but slid closed with the kiss from the apparently experienced man. It was sweet, and didn't last very long, but held many emotions within it. The man drew back before straightening again, getting ready for the return to the ring.
Tsuna opened his eyes again just as Giotto began to turn back into a dying will flame, a soft smile adorning his face. His lips moved to say something, just before he completely reverted into the flame and returned back to the ring, However, Tsuna had caught the words, and he couldn't keep the smile off of his face.
"Ti amo, Tsunayoshi."
Buona Notte: Means "good night" in Italian
Ti Amo: Means "I love you" in Italian
A/N: I hope that was okay and not overly cheesy. In truth, I have basically no experience with writing romance, the only reference I have to go off of being what I've read in other people's fanfics. ^^' Anyways, please review, and suggest any pairings you want to see! Until then. Ciao.
