Chapter Three: Warning

"…Finally..."

The brown hair boy put down his fountain pen and collapsed over his desk. After reading about hundreds of different reports and signing documents (which seems endless to Tsuna), it is normal (?) to collapsed.

He even missed his lunch in order to finish these documents!

And today special was a fancy French cuisine too!!

Tsuna sigh again. He didn't lift himself up from the table and glance sluggishly at the clock on his desk.

[01: 59 PM]

It's way past lunch time…

So I guess…

I'll be eating cup ramen again…huh?

Tsuna bang his head down again onto the table with a loud thump.

Tiny sound rain drops slid down the elegant fogged glass-window revealing the cold dark gray sky above. The smell of the freezing air catches his lungs.

Aaa…Even weather is bad…things just can't get any worst…

Clicks

The sound of the door opens, heavy footsteps walking steadily towards his desk.

"Basil-kun…I'm…finished…Can I get something to eat now?"

The scrawny teenager murmured in a zombie-like voice. His face laid down flat against his desk, waving the documents in his hand…Until, the sound of footsteps finally stop.

"Sorry to interrupt your afternoon nap, Boss."

Eh?

Tsuna leap up from his seat and starred at the person in front of him.

In front of him stands a tall maroon hair boy with long hair tied in a pony tail. His dark narrow red-eyes that match his hair color scanned down at him impolitely before stopping at his loosely hang tie. A fake smile spreads itself upon the older boy's face.

Tsuna looked down and noticed where the other boy gaze stops. His face spread a light blush, quickly grabs his shirt collar and adjusts his tie. He stands up, uncomfortably starring directly into the two scarlet eyes.

He never did like this person much.

"Err…How can I help you, Camil-kun?"

[FLASHBACK]

"HEY!!…TRASH…!"

"What an unexpected visit…Xanxus…"

A loud bang on the door was heard throughout the entire mansion. Tsuna, despite of all the loud noise and disrespectful greetings, acknowledge the greetings in a calm voice and continued working, signing the documents, and not even bother looking up at his visitor.

"Che! As always, seeing your idiotic face annoys me…"

The dark hair boy rudely walks straight into the room to where the Vongola boss sat. The younger boy, not even glancing up, replied calmly.

"…Are you here just to say that? ..."

The shorter boy finished signing his last documents and putting his pen down. He slowly massages his temple and standing up to look at the black hair boy with dark crimson eyes. Xanxus stared at the exhausted young Vongola boss and hesitate before taking out a piece of rolled paper.

"Here…"

The dark hair boy threw the document at the smaller boy, and walked to the sofa, making himself comfortable by stretching down and putting his feet up disrespectfully.

Tsuna caught the parchment elegantly with one hand and raise his eye brow in question.

"This is…?"

"Orders from those shitty higher-ups…" Xanxus replied while trying to take his shoes off and lying back down on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Tsuna opens the parchment and slowly begins reading the Italian orders. Xanxus however, decides to interrupt him.

"They want you to take in another trash named Camil as your family members in the 23rd unit…"

"…………….."

Tsuna didn't speak but eyeing the orders suspiciously. Xanxus noticing the changes in the brunette's face, slowly sit up on the sofa.

"I know what you are thinking brat…"

The darker hair boy said in an understanding voice and walks towards the brunette.

"…It is suspicious to suddenly accept someone into the 23rd unit, but if you ignore the higher-ups' order… then they might treat it as a rebellion… "

Although Tsuna was working as the Tenth boss of the Vongola, he was not officially given the position of boss yet. He was still under the supervision of the Vongole's five higher ups – the Ninth; Sawada Iemitsu, the outside advisor who was his father; and three other Vongole's higher ups.

Tsuna finished reading the document. The 23rd unit is responsible for the information database within the Vongola, and this is what's worrying him. He turned away to look at the view outside, closing his eyes and sluggishly opening them again.

"Do you have any information about this person?" The brown hair boy asked. Xanxus was a little irritated to answer, but he continued anyway.

"Che…firstly he can not be trusted. Every mission that he had been in, all of his teammates are dead…He is always the only one to survives."

Tsuna tightens his grip; his eyebrows start to knit together. Of course, how can he not remember? Xanxus who didn't notice this continue.

"But that brat showed grief though, I heard in their report that he was trembling when he saw his teammates' bodies."

Xanxus glance at Tsuna. The brat's face was expressionless, but his hand clenched the order tightly into a fist, apparently he was shaking.

"It's okay."

The taller boy strokes Tsuna's fluffy head lightly. Tsuna's eyes widen and look up in surprise at Xanxus's unusual behavior. Xanxus seem to have notice this too; he quickly remove his hands and cough nervously, a light blush appears on his face.

"……….W-We'll just keeps an eye on that piece of trash then…"

Tsuna touch his hair, recalling the gentle warmth on it. He smiled softly at the taller boy.

So this is Xanxus's way of comforting, I guess…?

Although many years have past, Xanxus is still foul-mouthed and rash but as he gets to know Xanxus deeper, he is truly a sincere person…and even caring. No wonder the Varia are so attached to him.

The smaller boy didn't reply and walked straight towards the door. However, before Tsuna walks out of the room, he stop and turn around to face the other person.

"I know……Thank you. Xanxus."

Tsuna's smile confidently, grinning mischievously at the other boy, as he quickly walks out the door also trying to hide his pink cheek, leaving Xanxus alone in the Vongola Tenth's room.

"Che….cocky brat"

(Sneaking to update…) Hello~ everyone, d ^_^ p, I hope that you aren't annoyed yet… I have made some changes about the higher ups that are not related to the original story. I thought that it would be troublesome if there are only two people in the Vongola estate to make decisions, so I've added three more (Hahaha~), and you'll see why in the later chapters…

For the original character…I don't usually like original characters. But I don't know what I should write for a bad guy, so I just take a random name from the internet and makes him a bad guy, Hahaha~…. (=_=||| …)

Anyway please comment so that I know what you think~
