On the eleventh day of Christmas…
It has been eleven days since Tsuna had received his first "gift" from the mysterious sender. And as each day pass; the gifts continued to appear almost magically by themselves in his room. With each gift came a letter attached to it, and a flower of some kind that either came with the gift, or was part of the gift.
Along with the mystery of how the gifts appear, Tsuna was also mystified by the mysterious person. Tsuna was convinced the two mysteries were connected. In fact, Tsuna would go so far as to say that the mysterious person was the one responsible for the gifts.
It was after the third night that Tsuna had decided that this might not be a prank, but visits from someone that was serious. When this thought had entered his mind, his first ecstatic assumption was that it might be from Kyouko. After Tsuna had calmed down to think about the gifts that the person gave him, the words from the letter he received, and the mysterious person in his bedroom, it was evident that it wasn't Kyouko. Although Tsuna was now a little worried about who it might be, he was also curious about the identity of who it might be. So, with new determination (force from Reborn), Tsuna had set out to find the person.
Unfortunately, after that one encounter with the unidentifiable person that appeared the second day, Tsuna hadn't been able to find any trace of him.
Tsuna sighed. He had pieced together things the gifts had in common and discovered that, other than the person's evident sense of humor for sending the brunet a lacy Lolita dress on the fifth day, there was always a flower that came with each gift. Currently, the flowers he has received are: a white rose, a chrysanthemum, a primrose, a petunia, a hibiscus, a tulip, a coreopsis, a borage, a rose bud, a violet, and finally, the eleventh one, a coriander.
With the help of Reborn, who was apparently staying over at Gokudera's place for some reason, Tsuna realized that there was a hidden message behind the flowers. A moment, he had moved all the flowers into the kitchen and was attempting to figure out the message with a book he bought the previous day, "The Language of Flowers." He managed to find the names of the flower by matching them to the pictures in the book. Then, he wrote down the names and meaning beside each one.
However, right now, the thing he was most concern about at the moment was the most recent flower that had come along with his gift. (A cute stuffed pineapple).
The Coriander
In the language of flowers, no other flower rivals the Coriander in symbolizing one's most passionate lust for another.
Yup, that was what the meaning behind this flower. It was also disturbing the petite brunet very deeply.
Sighing again, Tsuna let his head fall on the table with a thud. He was going nowhere where with this. Where was Reborn when you need him?
Scrunching his eyes together, Tsuna wonder what Reborn have been up to for the past few days. Ever since the arrival of the first gift, the Arcobaleno had pretty much disappeared. In fact, Tsuna wondered if Reborn knew the identity of this mysterious… admirer.
Well, that was one way t put it, Tsuna thought. Though stalker seems to be more appropriate, Tsuna shuddered.
"Tsu-kun!" Mrs. Sawada called as she entered the kitchen carrying a suitcase in one hand, and her purse in the other. "Mrs. Yamada hurt herself while she was chipping the trees in her garden. I'll be at her house looking after her children for a few nights. Alright?"
"Sure, mom," Tsuna answered. "Ah! Wait! What about I-pin and Lambo? I can't take care of them on my own!" Mrs. Sawada laughs.
"Don't worry. Bianchi is taking care of them."
"Oh. Alright."
"Be good, Tsu-kun! I'll drop by tomorrow to celebrate Christmas, okay?"
"Ah! Right, Christmas," Tsuna was so distracted by the mysterious gifts by the sender he completely forgotten. "Don't worry, I'll be alright." Tsuna gave his mom a reassuring smile. Nana Sawada smile back and left.
"It's so nice to have such an independent son."
Back in the kitchen, Tsuna heaved a sigh. Come to think of it, doesn't this mean he's all alone in his house now?
Goosebumps traveled down his spine from the lack of noise in his house. Shrugging it off, Tsuna went to make himself a bit of dinner. It wasn't the first time he was alone in his house.
...Alone in the house... kufufufu~ I think just 'bout everybody know where this is going... *w*
