For Tsuna

-x-

It was in Tsuna's office that all of them stared at the picture. It was a simple picture. All of them crammed together in it except one. And it wasn't that very formal either.

Haru sighed. "Egh, I can't believe we're dropping our cakes. And we worked so hard to make sure they looked nice in the picture." Kyoko nodded, also disdained by the fact.

Lambo turned his nose up. "I look really weird in this picture. What were we fussing about anyway, I-pin?" I-pin looked at him and replied, "I don't remember…"

Bianchi and Fuuta got their chance to take hold of the picture as well. Fuuta laughed, "Giannini, your face is so shiny here." Giannini grasped the corner of the black frame gingerly and grinned, "Too shiny. Haha."

There was another group in the same room, standing in the center of the room.

Gokudera sighed, rubbing his temples, "The picture should've been much more organized. It isn't the kind of picture I planned."

Yamamoto, as he would usually, unintentionally do, contradicted his thought. "I don't think so. I'm sure Tsuna would be just as happy with this. And plus, it gives you that more normal, everyday feel."

"We should've taken another one though." Gokudera responded briskly. "But Hibari, Kusakabe, and that illusionist with his posse flaked out on us once the camera flashed. And I didn't want Varia here in the first place…"

"And we can't really take another…" Dino added. "Other people in this picture left early too… Everyone is supposed to be in it." Of course, he and his family were included in this picture too.

Chrome nodded. "That's the only one with everyone." She decided to stay behind to meet up with the Tenth for Mukuro.

Dino concluded. "And it would probably be the last. It's the only evidence we have of everyone being gathered."

"Which makes it special and important." Shoichi smiled. "Enough to be make any mafia boss happy." Spanner also added his thoughts "Vongola would be happy with such a simple thing like this."

Yamamoto laughed. "It's amazing though, that for Tsuna, we could all be gathered for a reason. I didn't think it was possible for us to be all gathered like this. I was even surprised that Hibari came when I told him the reason."

Dino looked at the group who were commenting happily on the picture. "It's Tsuna." Now he smiled. "He is quite full of charisma and, as the Vongola boss, of course his family should love him."

At this everyone was silenced. Not awkward silence, but was a very comfortable, mutual silence that enveloped the group.

Suddenly the doors slammed open, revealing a fiery Ryohei and an out-of-breath Lal Mirch.

Ryohei proclaimed. "He's COMING! He's HERE!"

Lal smacked him in the back of his head. "Shh. You don't want him to hear us do you?" Then looking at the crowd gathered in the room. "We gotta get out of here if we're going to make the picture a surprise."

Gokudera nodded. "Yeah, we told him to meet us at the Vongola Garden for his welcoming party."

"BUT HE'S COMING HERE!" Ryohei knew it from what exactly came out of Tsuna's mouth while talking to Basil. "WE NEED TO MOVE!"

Kyoko raised up the picture, her voice raised. "But the picture! We should write somewhere that it's for him."

Haru was already holding a black marker. "ACK! I forgot that the frame is already black. We won't see it!"

Both were flustered on what to do, as well as any other in the room.

"We gotta get out! Before the Tenth comes!"

"But the picture has to have a 'For Tsuna' on it somewhere."

"Can't he just figure it out himself?"

While the fuss and chaos continued on in the room, Ryohei quickly made his way toward the picture and took into his own hands. Then he flashed out his sharp-tip pen and…

"Hey, Ryohei-san, what are you doing?" Dino asked, now noticing.

Scrt. Scrt. Crack. Scrt.

"AAAAAHHHHH, LAWN HEAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Gokudera screamed.

Scrt scrt scrt scrt [now much faster].

"Nii-san, don't do that!" Kyoko reached for the picture. "It's going to break!." She tried swiping it away, but her brother immediately moved away from her.

Sch sch sch sch. Crack. Scrt scrt.

"I don't think he's messing up the picture." Yamamoto said calmly. "He's just -"

"I'M DOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!" Ryohei abruptly paused and gently laid it on Tsuna's desk. Then turning around to face the queer silence, he raised his voice once again. "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!" With this, he grabbed everyone in one scoop (how is that possible?) and dashed out with everyone out the room.

(Just a thought from some random author of this random story. He proves that Anime and Manga can break the laws of Physics.)

"Hey, Basil. I'm going to go into my office." Tsuna informed. "Please go ahead to the Garden, I'll meet up with everyone there."

Basil nodded with a smile. "Alright, Sawada-dono. Everyone is very excited to see you."

Now holding the door knob, he replied, "Haha, yes. So am I." He turned the knob and entered his office, a smile gracing his face. It was odd to him that everything is exactly the same way he left it. Same desk arrangement. The same plants and decors in the right places. Perhaps the paperwork is still the same too (of course this didn't make him too happy, but was an amusing thought).

He began walking toward his desk and noticed that something was sitting on top. His eyes lit up with interest and he picked up his pace. Once in front of his desk, he reached out for 'that something' to find his hand stop in the air before touching it.

His eyes clearly processed the information fast enough to his brain.

It was a picture. With everyone in it. Even Hibari. Even Mukuro, Chrome, Chikusa, and Ken. Even Dino and his family. Even the Varia. Even Giannini, Shoichi, and Spanner. And Lal Mirch, his parents…

He hadn't realized that he had grasped it in his hands so tightly, right before his face. And before he knew it, he was smiling gently.

"This is… amazing." Tsuna found his mind racing now. "So wonderful." He began gracing his fingers over the black frame.

Unexpectedly, his hands felt something rigid on the upper edge of the frame. Something was engraved in it, and fresh too. He turned it a little ways here and there, until the light reflected in a certain angle to unmask the etched in words.

'For Tsuna'

For Tsuna… For Tsuna… It rang throughout his mind again and again as he read it over and over.

"Such a wonderful moment…" Tsuna breathed. "Is mine…"

It was his. His picture. For Tsuna.

For me. He thought.

"You do this for me… I am so thankful… All of you do this for me…" He brought the picture to his face softly and said,

"I must do what I need to do…" Tsuna held the picture tightly. "I'm doing it… for all of you."

But it is best.

Thank you so much.

And…

I'm sorry.

Got the idea from reading the first chapter again and wondering why "For Tsuna" was etched in in the first place… Thanks, Ryohei, for your wonderful improv skills!
