You might find some similiarities to the manga Special A, after finishing part of the plot I realized how similar it looked. Thus credits might as well to that manga and KHR.

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR( yeah Kana is still on holiday)

Tsuna's guardians will not be present in the story (probably)

Thanks Ara for reviewing in English, I hopefully able to understand what you meant, thanks for reviewing in general, hope you continue to support our stories!


3 The Morning's Meeting

New school, new year, new classrooms, new classmates, new uniform, new personality, new gender, new rank, new life.

It's going from bad to worse, having all these new things might be considered blissful, but that depends on a person's perspective on 'new'. And this is definitely not what I'd expect.

A few days ago:

It wasn't so early in the morning, but it was Saturday, and there was no school, since the new semester started Monday. Tsuna was fast asleep in his room, having skipped breakfast. His mom was out shopping for groceries as usual, and he, not having the least will to get up remained in bed, even after his alarm clock ringed twice for ten minutes, he didn't bother tapping the device, even when his mom called she was going out, he didn't bother responding, even when his phone ringed either from a message or a call, he didn't bother checking.

It was only Wednesday that he and Reborn took the entrance exam to Vongola, the week earlier he pulled a few all-nighters so that he could study, which he did, and then yesterday: Friday, he passed the day confined in his room, too nervous, did I pass? Did I not? Then what about Thursday? Well they had exams on Thursday as well, as the many subjects tests were divided into different days, though the test results had already came out today, he was just too tired to step out of his bed. Oh, that was until one hour ago, because then Reborn came, entered the house as if his own, without knocking or anything, greeted Nana whom was heading out, and nearly killed Tsuna in his attempt to wake him up, but he did reach his goal though.

Now the two teens were walking in their casual clothes towards Vongola High School, which was just as far away as Arcobaleno, since Tsuna and Reborn lived right in the middle of the two schools.

"Reborn! You nearly-" Yeah and blah blah blah Reborn was not the least bit interested in Tsuna's whining and complaining right now.

"You just wouldn't wake up." his tone was oh so non-enthusiastic, not that I blame him though.

"Yeah, that's your usual excuse for-" continued Tsuna, it was a normal routine, most days when walking to school the black-haired teen would come by to wake Tsuna up, attempting the most - ways to do so.

"Putting that aside, how do you think you did on the test?"

"Hmm, when I came back home I checked each answer on the test I got a few wrong, put I think I passed it. You?"

"Didn't bother check~" he said in his usual apathetic tone, irritating Tsuna even more.

"Oh? You're so confident? Let's do this then, if I did better than you then cancel the bet."

"Sure fine, after checking the results let's buy your girl's uniform" he said playfully.

A vein popped on Tsuna's head as he heard that, "Reborn! You-"

...

Tsuna stood still, surprised, he stared intently, at the result poster, his mouth hanging open, oh, Reborn got first, but he, how unusual, his name didn't come right after Reborn's, he placed third.The thing is Reborn wasn't the only one placing first, alongside his name was... 'Vongola Giotto'? Who is he? Tsuna had expected to not place first, first of all there was Reborn, and then Vongola was school of geniuses, but knowing he did not have his name right after Reborn was surprising, disappointing, although he tried to understimate himself and consider lots of scenarios as much as having himself take 300th place, knowing the truth was as hard as a punch to take. Tsuna grew accustomed to being first, then he met Reborn, and slowly accepted being second, but third, having someone as intelligent as Reborn and more than himself, he did not expect this. This is bad but would studying more really help him gain his goals?

"Oh~ seems like you're really dame-baka-Tsuna, third now?"

"Shut it Reborn" his extremely rare murderous aura was leaking, it meant only one thing he was going to- changing idea he decided to meet with this Vongola Giotto, maybe he cheated? he had to find out.

Reborn- well being Reborn noticed Tsuna's discomfort (if you want to call it that), being the good caring friend he was he decided to make Tsuna happy, maybe get his mind off being third, seriously what was the big deal with it? He was still in the top 10 wasn't he? Oh, but Reborn wouldn't understand, he placed first, as usual.

"Hey Tsuna, at least you entered Vongola, let's go celebrate or something, my treat" hearing this alleviated Tsuna's mood, changing it completely, he was just hungry since he skipped breakfast.

The duo walked through the busy streets, finally setting on a Cake Cafe.

After ordering some food they sat waiting.

"Reborn, since you live alone, where do you get money from?" You don' t have a job either.

"Why the sudden interest?"

"Curious"

"You know? Curiosity killed the cat."

"Satisfaction brought it back, come on, just answer"

"Hmm, from my parents"Obviously

"You said you weren't on good terms with them"

"Yeah, they kind of jumped in glee when they found out I was going to Japan, they find me a nuisance, and were more than happy to give me money as long as I didn't return home..."

"You're okay with it?" Tsuna's expression turned into one of worry what kind of life did Reborn have back in Italy?

"I'm fine with it, and I don't need you to worry" although he purposely tried to sound rude as to make Tsuna less worried, it didn't help, the brunet teen couldn't help it, Reborn was his best friend, obviously the others were too, but he felt a strange familiarity, like he 'liked' being with the black-haired teen.

"oh" Tsuna's tone said it all, putting the worry part aside he also didn't like that Reborn didn't confide in him as he himself did with Reborn. Now that I think about it I don't know much about Reborn's family and background do I?

Noticing Tsuna's 'insecurity' he took it upon himself to do something, but it was not like he didn't trust Tsuna enough or something, just that he didn't like to tell about his past. He took out one of his hands from his pocket and patted Tsuna's head, his hair a bit ticklish, but soft nonethless. This caught the younger's attention, now retreating his hand he sighed.

"Oi, I didn't mean it that way, it's just that I don't want you to worry" How awkward, never though Reborn would feel this flustered. Yeah but Tsuna was just too oblivious right?

Ate the cakes and drank coffee in peace, shopped for GIRL'S clothes, brought books and other materials. All in all it had been a good day, they had to admit it. Nana insisted Reborn would stay for dinner though the latter claimed he had to prepare for Monday.

Tsuna recoiled memories from a day or two ago, grunted to himself and proceeded to run towards school, in hope to not be late, not that he was late anyways... not too much at least.

Reborn should be waiting somewhere... there at the gate he saw Reborn. Crowded. By girls. I-I'll just greet him later. Too late.

"Oi, Baka-Tsuna" Shit he noticed me didn't he? "Looks good on you" What the uniform? Gee "Thanks" I feel glares...

"R-Reborn, Let's go check the classroom lists okay?"

Me and Reborn are in the same class, good to know, and... V-Vongola G-Giotto?

Yeah, him, the one who did better than you on the entrance test, the one who did as good as Reborn.

Tsuna turned to go, as he heard the heavy bell's ring, signaling the time for the Entrance Ceremony, a custom in every Japanese School. BUMP! What the- Tsuna rubbed his nose and looked up, slightly inclinating his head upwards to look at the person he bumped in.

"Sorry" he said as he turned to go, he guy was blond, tall, well-built, he had the charisma of a prince, and from every pore of him radiated 'Handsome' I don't even care about that do I?

"It was my fault, sorry" his smile was heart melting. Any girl in the vicinity blushed, but not Tsuna, he was no girl after all, and he was straight... probably.

Tsuna nodded somewhat in understanding and turned away, he didn't want to be in the center of attention on his first day of school, and that guy had 'popular' signed all over him.

Strange, that girl didn't blush like the others, is my smile losing power? Perhaps she has a boyfriend? Or is she lesbian? No, your smile is not losing anything, 'she' doesn't have a girlfriend, and is in no possible way lesbian. Just accept it Vongola Giotto, your charm is not working on 'him'! And you're too conceited with yourself. Oh, and don't bother Tsuna. Hmm~ How interesting, who was that girl just now? Forget I said that.


Done. HAPPY NEW YEAR though a bit late now.

Thanks for Reading~
