*Unbetaed*
At the sound of another crash, Tsuna finally decided he needed to get out of here. Seeing that Reborn wasn't anywhere nearby, Tsuna took his chance, and left the mansion. Not bothering to get a ride, he walked towards the nearby town. Glancing at his watch, he wondered how long it would take for Reborn to hunt him down and drag him back to his office.
Taking in a deep breath of fresh air, Tsuna greeted the people he passed. They easily recognized him as Vongola's 10th that took care of the area, as the Vongola always had since Primo's time. Tsuna had no intention of buying anything, but he still stopped by a few stores and looked around.
"Now what?" Tsuna blinked at the words and looked around. A short distance away, someone, a foreigner, was arguing on the phone. Tsuna watched as the man said a few more things in a softer voice and hung up. Massaging his forehead, the foreigner started to walk around, but even from where Tsuna was standing, it was obvious that he was uncomfortable, and it was very reminiscent of Tsuna's first time in Italy. Turning his heel, Tsuna headed towards him.
"Is everything alright?" Tsuna asked in Italian when he reached the man. The man jumped a little and turned to face Tsuna.
"Y-Yeah," the man said. Tsuna smiled a little. It looked like he was still learning Italian. "I wasn't too loud on the phone, was I?" Tsuna shook his head.
"No, no, you weren't. I was just surprised to hear someone speaking English here," Tsuna said. The man smiled sheepishly.
"I'll never get the hang of Italian," he muttered. Tsuna laughed a little.
"You and me both," Tsuna said. The man raised an eyebrow.
"What's your first language then?" he asked, curious.
"Japanese." The man stared at him.
"That's a big jump," he said slowly. "Italy is only a handful of countries away from England, but Japan's on the other side of Asia." Tsuna grinned.
"It was hard, but my tutor was adamant that I became fluent in it," Tsuna said. "My English could use some work, though," Tsuna added, switching to English, "I haven't fully gotten it yet." The man grinned.
"Besides the slight accent, you sound fine," the man reassured him. He held out his hand. "I'm Harry, by the way." Tsuna shook his hand with a smile. His intuition told him that he shouldn't really be worried about this man.
"Call me Tsuna," Tsuna said. Tsuna blinked. "I'm not holding you up, am I?" Harry laughed.
"No, you're not. I'm just waiting for someone here, you?"
"Just needed fresh air," Tsuna said, hoping Reborn wasn't looking for him yet. Tsuna pointed towards a nearby bench, and Harry nodded. They both sat down, and watched different people walk by. "Does the person you're meeting live here?" Harry frowned.
"I think so," he said slowly. "He didn't actually say. He just said to meet him here."
"Is this your first time in Italy?" Harry nodded. "First impressions?" Tsuna asked, curious. Harry snorted a little.
"The major cities, as always, were crowed, but towns like this," he said, gesturing around them, "are nice and calm." Tsuna nodded.
"I came from a small town, so big cities never appealed to me." Harry nodded in agreement.
"Since I'm usually surrounded by a lot of people, it's nice to take a break from all that," Harry said.
"I know the feeling." Harry gave a small smirk.
"Would this have something to do with needing fresh air?" Tsuna laughed and nodded.
"When you're surrounded by insane people, a break becomes necessary," Tsuna said.
"You sound like me," Harry said. Tsuna looked at him to see him grinning. "It sounds like you need an actual vacation though, not just a break." Tsuna sighed.
"I know, and I badly want one, but my tutor won't let me. Besides, if I went on one, he would make sure everyone came with me, and it would no doubt be even more stressful." Tsuna hasn't forgotten about the last time they went to Mafia Land yet. Harry cringed.
"Your tutor sounds like a real piece of work," Harry muttered. Tsuna laughed dryly.
"You have no idea," he deadpanned. "So this is your vacation away from insane people?" It was Harry's turn to laugh dryly.
"Technically no, seeing that I came here to meet another insane person." Tsuna winced.
"That sucks," Tsuna said, not knowing what else to say. Harry shrugged.
"It's not that bad," Harry said. "The worst he does is purposefully drive me up a wall." Tsuna mentally snorted. That sounded like someone he knew.
"If he's driving you insane, then why do you still─"
"Talk to him? Fraternize with him?" Tsuna shrugged and nodded. He was curious why someone would purposely associate with someone like that. Sure, Tsuna had no major issues with his guardians now, but it did take a number of years for him to get used to their antics.
"He does drive me insane, but he's interesting to talk to, and I truly find arguing and debating with him kinda fun," Harry said.
"I'm touched and flattered you think of me that way." Both Harry and Tsuna jumped a little, and turned around. "I find you very interesting as well," Mukuro finished.
"Mukuro!" Harry and Tsuna looked at each other.
"You know him?" they asked each other in unison.
"Your insane friend?" Tsuna asked. Harry nodded.
"One of your insane associates?" Harry asked. Tsuna nodded. Mukuro's eye twitched.
"What are you doing here?" Mukuro asked, directing the question to Tsuna.
"I needed a break," Tsuna said defensively. "I'm surprised I haven't lost my sanity because of you guys."
"Is the Arcobaleno not there?" Mukuro asked curiously. Tsuna stayed quiet, and Mukuro's eyes widened.
"Have you lost your mind?" he asked slowly, and Tsuna groaned. Mukuro of all people thought he was crazy. Well, Tsuna did disregard Reborn's orders to not leave before he finished all of his work, so he may have a point. Glancing at his clock, Tsuna wondered why Reborn hasn't come and dragged him back yet. It wasn't like him.
"I think I'll head on back then," Tsuna muttered. Harry looked towards Mukuro.
"Wait, so he's…"
"Boss of the Vongola," Mukuro said shortly. Tsuna mentally groaned. It looks like Harry knew about the mafia. Harry stared at Tsuna.
"You're a mafia boss?" he asked, incredulous. Tsuna gave strained smile and nodded.
"Hard to believe, but I am."
"You're a lot nicer than I thought you'd be," Harry said sincerely. "My only experience with stuff like that is from movies, and whatever he says," Harry continued, pointing to Mukuro.
"Take whatever he says with a grain of salt," Tsuna warned, and Harry snorted.
"Even I know that." Harry turned towards Mukuro. "You know, from the way you talked about him, I was expecting someone a lot more scarier and intimidating." At once, Mukuro's expression tightened, and Tsuna blinked in surprise before he began to grin a little.
"What was that?" Tsuna asked innocently. Mukuro smiled back.
"I have no idea what either of you are talking about," Mukuro said sweetly. Harry snickered, and Mukuro stood on his foot, which shut Harry up quickly.
"I'm surprised you can make a normal friend," Tsuna said to Mukuro, who stared at him.
"And what are you trying to imply?" Mukuro asked icily.
"Stop being melodramatic," Harry commented, and Mukuro turned his glare towards Harry.
"Will you be coming up to the mansion?" Tsuna asked Harry. Harry blinked.
"Can I?" Tsuna smiled and nodded. His intuition told him Harry wasn't a threat to the Vongola, so he had no problems with him being there. Harry grinned.
"I'll take you up on your offer then," Harry said.
"Just wait until you meet everyone else," Mukuro said wryly. Tsuna became concerned a little.
"I'm sure if you can handle Mukuro, you can handle the others," Tsuna said slowly. Tsuna glanced back at his watch and jumped.
"We need to go now," he said hurriedly. "Come on, Harry." Tsuna quickly turned, and started power walking towards the Vongola mansion. Behind him, Harry glanced at Mukuro.
"Did he just ignore me?" Mukuro asked slowly. Harry shrugged while covering up a grin. At a slower pace, Mukuro and Harry followed Tsuna.
"Is everyone else really that crazy?" Harry asked Mukuro.
"Yes," Mukuro said at once, "but to be honest, Tsunayoshi Sawada is the worst of us all." Harry blinked.
"That's a joke, right?" Harry asked. Mukuro looked at him with pity.
Since it's still the 9th here, it's still Mukuro's birthday. (And even though I wrote it for his b-day, he's barely in it OTL)
Sorry it's kinda short, but I wasn't sure what else to put in this chapter.
I do have plans for a chapter 5, but I'm not sure when I'm writing it, but there is a chapter 6 written out. I wrote it for an April Fools event (three guesses on what it's about), but it's only posted on my tumblr since there's no chapter 5 here yet. If you want to read it, just go to my tumblr (link in profile), and click the link on the side that says [my fanfiction and writing], and scroll down until you see the post that says "the april fool's fic for fyeahkhrfanfic"
