Father Like Son

To anyone who knew him it there was no doubt that Alexander Gokudera, more commonly known as Alex, was a lot like his father. For starters Alex got his father's body type, fighter slim. Second he got his father's face, round with youth though it would defiantly sharpen with age, though Alex is almost always smiling, and eye color. The main difference being that he had his mother's brown hair, and unfortunately he seemed to have her height as well. Alex also didn't keep his hair cut in the "octopus style" that Hayato used to when he was younger. Rather he kept it cut a little shorter then liked Hibari his in middle school.

Though Alex not only resembled his father in looks, but personality as well. This showed often, and double when the father and son pair were together. It was both amusing, and exasperating for Haru.

It was adorable seeing her two boys working in a library together on god only knows what. It was exasperating trying to get them out of the library for dinner with everyone else.

"But mom I'm almost done!" Alex would whine looking up at the woman with his best instant kill eyes.

"I'll be there when I'm done." Hayato would respond absently not even looking up from what ever he was doing.

Haru broke them of that habit by making sure they didn't eat for the rest of the night if they missed dinner.

Watching Hayato and Alex start to give off sparkles when they were praised was always amusing. Watching Tsuna and Amami deal with the sparkling males was even more amusing.

"Ami, Ami! Look at this! Come on take a look!" Alex would exclaim running up to the young sky.

"Juudaime, I just finished this would you mind taking a look?"

Both brunette skies would blink and take, or look at what ever it was. More often then not Ami would grin excitedly at Alex and say, "That's so cool! Can we play with it?" or "Wooooowww! Alex is so smart!" Tsuna would smile at his storm guardian and praise him, often with a head pat as well. A joke with in the family for those two.

It was always, always exasperating for Haru when Alex came home covered in bruises from a fight he had gotten into. Hayato wasn't much help with that either.

"He's a little boy, just let him deal with it." Her husband would said to her before turning to their son. "Who started it?"

"They said something funny about Ami... Besides, they look worse." The boy would reply stubbornly.

Hayato would nod his approval and pat the boy's head, "Then it was well fought."

Haru would throw her hands up in exasperation, shove the medical supplied at her husband, and demand he take care of his son since obviously her opinion didn't matter.

Both Alex and Hayato were stubborn, prideful, and liked to argue. From time to time Haru had to sent Alex to his room, or she would walk out on Hayato after an argument and spend some time with her girl friends. Usually she wouldn't come back, or let her son out of his room, until the other would admit that they were wrong.

After one such argument with Hayato Haru was out eating cake with Kyoko when she got a call on her phone.

"Mom, please come back! Dad's all grumpy, and he's fighting with Uri again, and Yamamoto came over but he's not helping at all. Juudaime is busy so I can't call him, it's hopeless! Dad's sorry, he really is!" Alex babbled on the other end.

Haru couldn't help but laugh, "I'll be home soon enough." She replied. "Just don't tell your father that."

Haru always found it funny when they would wear matching faces when ever Uri showed preference to her over the two of them. It also reassured her, because a box weapon is a reflection of it's master.

No matter what had happened during the day though it was nice that they both had a tendency to wander back to her, kind of like cats. Actually, Haru would muse one day as both Hayato and Alex used her as a pillow, Hayato claiming her lap, and Alex using her arm, as they sleep and read respectively, they were almost exactly like cats.

All she had to do was feed them, give them attention when they wanted it, and sometimes when they didn't, and she disciplined their mistakes when they made them. Haru was totally alright with that.
