Why Me
Chapter 4
And so, Tsuna found himself sitting in Yamamoto's living room, wearing a dress, and high heels, in front of two very, very imposing women.
Tsuna smiled nervously at Yamamoto's aunts.
Bowing as he sat down, he hoped the voice changer worked as he said, "Um…Konnichiwa, Hastuka-san, Hatsumi-san, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Hatsuka, the elder one, merely looked at him in disdain. Hatsumi, on the other hand, smiled at him and bowed as well in greeting.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, too, young lady. Takeshi's only getting older and older so I think that it's great he finally found someone to invest his time in."
Tsuna smiled and nodded. Unable to say anything else, he looked at Yamamoto –only to find him fidgeting in his place. Surprised, as Yamamoto was always, always the calm one, Tsuna reached over to Yamamoto's lap and placed his hand over the boy's almost trembling ones. Yamamoto looked startled at first, but upon seeing Tsuna's smile, he slowly began to smile again. And as soon as it was gone, Yamamoto's signature calmness came back again.
Softly so that his aunt's wouldn't hear, Yamamoto whispered, "Thank you, Tsuna."
Tsuna shook his head and smiled back in return.
"Well," Hatsuka began, a brow raised while fanning herself, "It seems that our dear, dear Takeshi-kun has found his mate."
Hatsumi giggled, "Yes, it seems that way, doesn't it ane-san."
Nodding, Hatsuka snapped her fan close. Peering closely at Tsuna, she began, "Although I feel that Takeshi-kun is still hiding something from us. Is he, Sora-chan?"
Tsuna almost jumped from his seat in surprise when he heard that. "I don't understand, Hatsuka-san. Yamamoto-kun doesn't seem to be hiding anything."
Straightening up, Hatsuka narrowed her eyes, "Is that so…?"
"Maa, maa, Hatsuka-nee. Stop scaring Sora-chan." Turning to Tsuna, she smiled apologetically, "Sorry for that, Sora-chan. Ane-san is always like that. Most people who meets her for the first time always, always gets the impression that she's scary. But really, ane-san is pretty soft-hearted. You've just got to know her first, right, ane-san?"
Hatsuka didn't even nod for that.
When Tsuna first arrived here, he was greeted immediately with Yamamoto's two aunts. Wearing the light blue spaghetti-strap dress Gokudera and Yamamoto had bought him, suddenly, he felt extremely exposed. It wasn't until the younger of the sisters smiled at him did he feel slightly more relaxed.
The two sisters were as different as night and day, he noticed. While the other one smiled easily, the other one barely smiled at all. While the older one was strict and looked imposing, the younger one looked unassuming and kind. It doesn't take a genius to realize who Tsuna liked better.
"Sora-chan," Hatsumi called, for that was the female name they gave him, "Takeshi-kun sure has great eyes for women, doesn't he?"
Surprised, Yamamoto stammered, "N-not really, 'ba-san."
"Oh, but I think you do, right, ane-san?" Hatsumi winked, "Sora-chan is really pretty."
Tsuna decided he was going to be really, really, really sick after this.
"And that dress looks really good on you, too! It accentuates your figure perfectly!"
He was gonna be sick. And he was so gonna burn this dress.
Not wanting to be rude, Tsuna forced himself to say, "Th-thank you, Hatsumi-san. Actually, Yamamoto-kun picked this dress for me."
"Oh!" Hatsumi said, giggling, "Is that so? My, Takeshi-kun. You've got good tastes in clothes as well now? In the five years we haven't seen each other, you've changed so much! I am considerably amazed by this progress! I had a feeling you were going to end up as a single, lonely baseball guy. Ah, this is wonderful, Takeshi-kun! I am so happy for you!"
Tsuna wanted to slap himself. Hard. Hatsumi was beginning to like him more than they wanted. If this goes on…well, Tsuna hoped this wouldn't go on. Yamamoto's aunts seemed to favor shotgun marriages. And that was something they were all afraid of in the beginning.
"U-uh, thank you, 'ba-san. But, I guess I just got lucky picking the dress. And I guess," Yamamoto paused, unsure, "I guess it was extreme good luck too that I was able to meet and f-f-fall in l-love with Tsu-Sora-chan."
Hatsuka shot Yamamoto a piercing gaze as soon as he finished. Hatsumi just smiled knowingly. This was trouble. And even if he knew it, he realized he won't be able to do anything about it. Yamamoto prayed that the week would pass by quickly.
"Well," Hatsumi started, "I think it's about time lunch is served, yes? Do you think your father is quite done in the kitchen?"
Yamamoto stood up as he said, "I'll go check."
Tsuna wanted to kill the guy as soon as he stood up and left him there, alone, with his aunts. So Tsuna smiled nervously, though trying hard not to, at his "boyfriend's" aunts.
"Sora-chan," Hatsumi began, "I'm glad to finally meet you. When we first got here, Hatsuka nee-san and I were a bit shocked when we saw Takeshi and another boy feeling each other. I hope you aren't too angry about that. Well, boys are boys sometimes."
Tunsa had almost forgotten why he was in this predicament, but when Hatsumi said that, he remembered. Surprised and caught off guard, Tsuna almost said something he shouldn't have. But he saved himself by sighing dramatically as he smiled and said, "Yamamoto-kun has apologized to me over and over again for that. He said he wasn't trying to do anything at all and that it was all a big misunderstanding."
"And you believe him?"
Tsuna looked shocked at the elder aunt's question. Then he smiled, a real smile this time, as he said, "Of course. Because he's my best friend, right? And if there's anyone in the world I would trust with my life, it would most likely be him."
With his words, both of Yamamoto's aunt's eyes widened. Before they were able to say anything though, Yamamoto and his dad had entered the room, carrying trays of food with them. When they had all settled, it was only then that both Yamamoto and his dad noticed the strange atmosphere in the room.
Turning towards his sisters-in-law, he asked, "Is something wrong?"
Hatsuka's answer was a raised brow and a look of appraisal for Tsuna. Hatsumi, who was more vocal of the two, giggled and said, "You've found quite the young lady, Takeshi-kun. I'd love to be able to meet with her more." Turning towards Yamamoto's father, she asked, "Do you think we can stay a week longer?"
Right then and there, Tsuna felt he was dying an extremely excruciating death.
