Even though I said that I would update this when Missing Tsuna is done, plans change every now and then. All I have to say is enjoy the story and to read the AN at the end. Hope this can keep you guys entertained before getting mad at me…
Previously on My Little Family:
Tsuna sits himself down on the bench besides Yamamoto. He looks to see that Matthew is really sleeping. The brunet smiles gentle before putting the purchase items aside and leans against the bench. It was a long day for him in his opinion. Thank goodness Reborn is on that trip with everyone. "It's nice to have days like these every once in a while." He said aloud.
"Yeah, it's nice and quiet."
"Let's stay here for a while." Tsuna mumbles as he close his eyes.
Chapter Three: Forming My Family
Tsuna sits up from his bed tiredly. He looks around to find himself in his room. He doesn't remember going home. The only thing he recalled was falling asleep at the mall with Matthew and Yamamoto. The brunet blushed at the thought. Yeah, sleeping on his best friend's shoulder must have caused a scene. He groans to himself. It probably did and Yamamoto had to carry him home. That's just great.
Tsuna got up from his bed and ruffles his already messy hair. The next time he sees the baseball player, he'll apologize for making trouble for the other. Not that he's good at doing stuff other than that. He approached the door and leans closer to the knob. Much to his dismay, the door flings open wide enough to knock the side of his face. The brunet twitched from the impact.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that Tsuna." Yamamoto apologizes.
"I-It's okay Yamamoto. I know you didn't mean to." Tsuna said, holding his right cheek.
The brunet then proceeds to ask the other about Matthew. Yamamoto told him that the baby is in his room, taking a long nap with his new stuffed lion. Tsuna raise a questionable brow at the other, wanting to know about the new toy. The baseball player just smiles sheepishly before explaining that Matthew wanted it to calm down.
"Even though he's not ours, you're already spoiling him." Tsuna sighed.
Even though it was meant as a warning, Yamamoto thought of it as something else. 'Tsuna said ours… He said ours!' The baseball player thought happily with a light blush. Tsuna looks up to his taller friend in suspicion. He was expecting a reply but it seems his friend is off in La-La Land. The brunet set his hand on the other's shoulder, trying to get his attention.
"Yamamoto, are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah, I was just thinking about s-something." He stuttered on his words.
"Well, I'm going to check up on Matthew."
Yamamoto nodded quickly as the brunet walk pass him. He then follows the shorter male till he reaches the stairs. He explained that he's going to put away the purchased item since he got nothing to do. Tsuna agreed nevertheless. The two parted ways with Tsuna remaining on the second floor. And Yamamoto goes downstairs.
The younger male quietly walked to Matthew's bedroom. Originally, it was Lambo, I-pin, Fuuta, and Bianchi's bedroom. Yeah, they had to share a room. And it was noise every night with the children running around and screaming. Bianchi, mysteriously, silence them every now and then. Not that Tsuna would want to know how. She probably threatened them to sleep or she would use her poison cooking.
"Luckily, they're not here anymore." Tsuna mumbles softly to himself.
He opens the door gently, making a small squeaking sound. Tsuna walks in to make way to the bed on the far end to see Matthew. The sleeping baby had a half full bottle in his mouth while hugging his new toy. He slowly pulls the blanket onto the small baby's body that seemed purposely kicked away. Just by looking at Matthew's face made his body relax. This must be what his parents feel when he was a kid.
"I hope you grow up big and strong someday."
When Tsuna felt like he was there for too long, he decides to leave and come again later. He approach and closes the door as how he did when he entered. Maybe he should just go downstairs to see what his best friend is doing. That way he could kill some time since he didn't have anything to do.
He heads down to the living room to see Yamamoto siting alone in the kitchen. The sound of walking made the baseball idol snap back to reality and see who it is. It wasn't much of a surprise to see the brunet approaching him. He offered the younger male if he wanted to drink something. Tsuna declines since he wasn't thirsty, taking a seat besides his best friend.
"I can't believe it's been so long since my house is quiet. Before Reborn stepped in my life that is…"
"But if it wasn't for the kid, I wouldn't have gotten to know you Tsuna. I'm really grateful to him."
"You're giving him too much credit Yamamoto." Tsuna laughs.
"No, really, I mean it. I was happy that I became your friend." The taller male said. Tsuna smiles happily. That was the first time someone said that to him. It makes him feel happiness and special in a way. The brunet said his gratitude to the other. The conversation dimmed down as silence dance around them. The only thing they could hear was the clock ticking with every second passing.
"You know, it's kind of strange how we have to pretend to be parents."
"Anything is strange if it is Reborn's idea." Tsuna answers nervously.
"Yeah… It's like we really are a family. I'm the dad and you're the mom."
"How come I'm the mom?" Tsuna shouted.
"Because you're cuter than most girls I've seen."
Tsuna stares at his friend in disbelief. Well, so much for his pride. Being called cute isn't something he would consider an insult or a compliment. Yamamoto laughs at his comment, making the brunet besides him blush. Seriously, the baseball player doesn't seem to have the word embarrassment in his dictionary. And to think Tsuna consider him the normal one out of their crazy group.
"I'm not sure about that. But I wonder if it's a good idea to be attached to Matthew…"
"What do you mean Tsuna?" The taller male asked.
"Matthew is still a baby so it's normal for him to… But he won't be with us once the year is up."
Yamamoto can hear the sadness in his friend's tone. It was true. Once everyone is back a year from now, Matthew would be gone with his real parents. And everything would return back to normal like it never happened. The thought didn't sit well with the taller male either. Tsuna could agree on that with him. Yamamoto looks at the brunet to see him fumbling with his fingers nervously.
"Don't worry Tsuna. Even if he's gone, we'll still be connected to him somehow. After all, we are going to raise him as our own." Yamamoto said with confidence.
"Yamamoto, you…"
"Since we're a family now, let's make every day count. We can go to the zoo tomorrow to have fun." The taller male suggested.
"Yeah, I would like that. And I'm sure that Matthew would too." Tsuna smiled.
The two continue on their conversation happily. It seems like some of their trouble were solved bit by bit with reassurance that everything is going to be okay. But there is something that Tsuna is a bit worried about. Not that he would tell the other male about it. But once Matthew is gone, would their relationship still be the same or change little by little? Tsuna could feel his chest thumping lightly.
The thumping and talk came to a stop when the two heard crying coming from upstairs. It seems like Matthew is done with his nap. Tsuna suggest the other to rest since he was probably tired and that he would take care of it. Yamamoto didn't really say anything, knowing that his friend wouldn't take no for an answer. The brunet walks away to see Matthew in his room.
"Seriously, I'm not sure if I'm the one that's getting Tsuna's attention or Matthew is…" Yamamoto said, not sure if he should be happy or not.
OXO
Sorry if it was short. Not much I can really do. Oh, before you guys review, please go on my profile. There's a link in it that would lead you to my LJ account at the bottom. There's a new entry that I want all of you to read. And if you did read it and came back to complain about it, I want to say sorry. Thanks for all of your support up until now. I'll try to finish the next chapter for Missing Tsuna. If I have to, I'll reply on my LJ in case someone asks me something about it. Thanks again…
