Welcome to Lambo's Corner!

This is a little long but I seriously enjoyed writing it so much so I hope you enjoy reading it. This is for all the lovely reviews which honestly pushed me to hurry with this chapter. Please continue to encourage me on this fun journey through Lambo's Corner. Your words really make a huge difference with my muse.

Warning: Gokudera's language, a bit of violence, and your typical mafia business. Also, I bring back a character from Lambo's True Famiglia but this is completely separate from it and has nothing to do with that story. Also, I have no idea how the whole heir apparent thing actually works so...pretend with me.

As always, thanks Grammarly for the help and I shall go over any other mistakes at a later time. Probably.

Without further ado, H is for...


If Hibari is asked which day of the week is his favorite, he would beat up whoever dared ask for thinking they could talk to him in the first place. Once he had gone back to being alone he would think about how much he enjoys Sundays. Sundays were usually peaceful compared to the other days and it is also the day he can visit the animal shelter - not too many people went in the mornings. Today, he had been able to train a kitten to take down a person. Sundays were always fun.

It is now nearing noon which means he had about an hour before a certain herbivore texted him for money to buy some sweets. It seems Sundays are Lambo's favorite day as well but for different reasons. Each Sunday the small brat would visit Sweet Nothings - a candy shop where the owner, Jacko Honda, understood the teen's love for sweets. The man would even reward Lambo for receiving good grades at school.

This has been going on for quite some time and it seems to motivate Lambo to try harder in school, especially when it is the grape season. During one of those first trips, however, Hibari had been around the area when Lambo had texted him - asking for some change to complete a transaction. One time. It had been one time and ever since then, Lambo asks him every Sunday. Of course, that doesn't mean the Cloud Guardian gives him money - not all the time at least, but the young herbivore still asks.

Hibari will never admit it out loud but his youngest bother has slightly grown on him. He is annoying most of the time and Lambo still cries whenever things don't go his way but with some more proper training, he'd be worthy of…well, he'd be allowed to call Hibari that ridiculous name which Lambo picked out for him.

Hibari does not pause his walk when Namimori Middle School's anthem rings out from his phone. Many have told him over the years to change it and many have received tonfas to the head for their trouble. He looks at his phone and is a little surprised to see Lambo has sent a text message. It is a bit early but his instincts tell Hibari something is off. Lambo is never on time, let alone early.

Come to Sweet Nothings

That seems normal enough but after years of honing his instincts, he knows there is something definitely off.

I'm not your bank.

Hibari doesn't wait for a reply. He immediately turns around and hurriedly walks towards where the shop is located. He hopes his bother is safe - if anything just to avoid a hassle, but at the same time, he hopes he will be given the chance to fight. There is nothing like a good fight to keep him fit.

He looks at his phone when it rings again. The message is short and simple. He begins to run down the street as fast as possible with his tonfas out and gleaming under the sun. It seems he will have some fun after all.

3 men. Trouble. Help.

It only takes him five minutes to reach the small shop but there is no obvious sign of trouble. He pulls out his phone and opens the app the herbivore with the glasses and red hair had installed for him. It keeps track of all his bothers' location. It especially came in handy when keeping watch over the youngest.

He looks at the map and frowns. It shows Lambo's phone by the river which is obviously never a good sign for someone running away from trouble. He puts his phone back in his suit pocket and speeds over to the location. No more than ten minutes later, he hears some commotion coming from underneath the bridge.

Hibari jogs down the hill and finds three men huddled over something. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who they are surrounding. He walks up to the closest one and lands a heavy blow to the head, knocking him easily onto the ground. The other two quickly back away, revealing Hibari's youngest bother on the ground with a bleeding split lip.

"You are disturbing the peace,"

The three men try to hide their fear which they obviously fail to do when they all flinch. One of them, the tallest in the group, steps forward with a frown as he rubs the spot where the tonfa hit.

"We're not causing trouble and this has nothing to do with you."

Lambo scoffs then winces from the pain. He slowly rubs his cheek which is starting to swell. "Jun-san, you're still stupid." He says.

Hibari does not hesitate to show them why he should be respected and never talked back to. Once all three men are lying unconscious on the ground, Hibari turns to Lambo who is now standing although the teen looks a bit winded.

"Why are you causing me trouble so early in the day?"

Lambo is holding his side which means the split lip and swollen cheek aren't the only injuries the teen received from the men. He looks up at Hibari and tries to give a smile but it quickly turns into a wince.

"Um, I didn't mean to?" He shrugs. "They're Bovino and they wanted to take me for a trip but I politely declined their invitation. I guess they didn't like my answer."

Hibari walks towards one of the men, the one Lambo called Jun and pulls him up by the collar - the Bovino emblem on the suit jacket. The Monster of Namimori wakes Jun up, who has enough sense not to antagonize the devil incarnate.

"Why?" Hibari really isn't one for long talks which makes Lambo shake his head.

The man seems confused for only a second but then he answers, "Our boss needs to talk with the brat-" The knee to the chest takes the man's breath away but he realizes his mistake.

"Our boss needs to speak with Lambo as soon as possible."

"My fath-uh, Don Bovino? What does he want with me?"

Jun shakes his head, "Lady Bovino is the one who needs to speak with you." He says as the other two begin to stir.

Hibari watches his youngest bother pale. It seems this Lady Bovino is somebody he must meet.


Lambo pales. As much as he fears Don Bovino, the man never actually hurt him. In fact, once they realized Lambo would never be a boss, the man had wanted nothing to do with the boy. His mother, on the other hand, took great pleasure in showing Lambo how much of a disappointment he was to them.

Lady Bovino pretends to be this high-maintenance woman who would never be caught getting her hands dirty but Lambo knows the truth. She is the definition of what a cold and heartless mafia boss is with just as many kills as her husband. Of course, the only people who know that are the ones closest to the couple and those killed by her.

If there is one thing Lambo learned from living with the vile woman, it is to never defy her. Lambo knows if he refuses this request, it'll come back to bite him in the ass and the last thing he wants is to get his family involved.

"Oh, um. I-I'll go then. I'm sure it won't take too long, right?" He asks with a fake and forced laugh.

Hibari lets the man go then makes his way to the teen. Lambo watches his brother carefully and hopes the older man can't see how terrified he is but he knows he failed. Hibari grabs Lambo by the ear and practically growls.

"Did I give you permission to go cause more trouble?"

"Hibari-san, I won't make trouble. I'm just going to meet Lady Bovino for a bit."

Lambo realizes too late he used his brother's actual name instead of the nickname he'd given him but doesn't think much of it. Until Hibari releases him, that is.

Not once has Hibari made it apparent he disliked the name but Lambo didn't think he liked it either. Is it possible Hibari had actually liked it? Why else would The Monster of Namimori look like he has been betrayed by Namimori herself?

"Hiba-ah!"

Lambo watches in horror as his brother throws him over his shoulder and turns away from the men.

"But we need to take him," Jun mutters.

Lambo raises his hands in a way to show he has no control over his brother and sighs. He's confused as to why Hibari is acting the way he is but there is no way he's going to voice his thoughts. He really doesn't want to die. And so like a sack of potatoes, he's carried home - more like just around the block.

"Lady Bovino isn't one to be disobeyed," Lambo tells his brother while rubbing his aching side as he walks home.

"Do you think I am?"

"Of course not but she'll cause more trouble if I don't listen to what she has to say. I'm trying to avoid unnecessary damages to your beloved home."

Hibari doesn't say anything else but Lambo can feel the man's anger rolling off in huge tsunami-sized waves. If there's anything Hibari can't stand it is threats against Namimori.

They turn the corner to his street and Lambo begins to feel dread. Why is Hibari still following him? They both know his street is the safest in all of Naminori. The others are home as well so nothing bad will happen and yet, Hibari is still there.

They reach his home and Lambo expects Hibari to turn and walk away but he's wrong. Hibari walks to the door then opens it without knocking. Interesting, Lambo thinks.

The teen follows and watches his older brother head towards the kitchen where his other brothers will more than likely be.

Lambo greets the others with a wave but they aren't paying attention to him since they're busy watching Hibari walk to Gokudera.

"Wh-what the hell do you want?"

Hibari pulls his tonfas out then proceeds to attack in his usual way of greeting. Without a second thought, Yamamoto opens the back door and the two brothers take their discussion outside. Tsuna looks towards Lambo with a raised eyebrow.

"Is he the one that did that to your face?"

Lambo sighs, "No, and before you say anything it wasn't my fault."

Ryohei laughs as he pulls an ice pack from the freezer and Lambo frowns. Why do they always assume it's his fault?

"Now, now. Let's give him a chance to explain before we jump to conclusions." Yamamoto says and it's weird he's the wise one today.

"You're right. First of all, are you ok, Lambo?" Tsuna asks as he walks to the teen.

Lambo puffs out his chest, "Of course I am, this is nothing. You should see the three idiots that messed with me."

"There were three?"

"Um, I should mention they were Bovino,"

Yamamoto and Tsuna immediately tense. Ryohei, who is currently applying the ice pack to Lambo's face, uses too much force and Lambo yelps.

"Sorry, did they hurt you anywhere else?"

As soon as the Bovino name is mentioned, they all turn completely serious. They understood this could always lead to some kind of war which nobody but Hibari and Mukuro wants.

Lambo raises his shirt to reveal a now forming bruise on his side, "They kicked me after I punched one of them."

Ryohei uses his healing flames to ease the pain but Lambo still winces at the older man's touch. His ribs are going to be sore for a bit.

"What did they want?"

Lambo looks at Tsuna and shrugs, "They didn't say at first. All they said was I was to go with them and I declined kind of rudely when I realized they were Bovino. I-I didn't want anything to do with them."

Ryohei pulls down the shirt and leads Lambo to a chair where he instructs the teen to keep the ice on his face. Gokudera chooses that moment to barge back inside.

"He left muttering something about Psycho-nii. What the fuck happened and why did he want to know about the Bovinos?" Gokudera looks at Lambo and frowns, "Did they do that to you?"

Lambo will definitely apologize to Hibari later. He should at least explain he hadn't wanted to sound insulting towards his brother in front of Bovinos. "I texted Hiba-I mean, Psycho-nii to help me as I ran away and thankfully he got there before they really hurt me."

"So it was three on one?" Yamamoto asks with clenched fists.

"Yeah but that was my fault. I know if I hadn't attacked first they probably would have just dragged me to Lady Bovino without laying a hand on me."

"This is not your fault, Lambo." Lambo flinches at the anger in his brother's voice but he knows it's not him Tsuna is mad at. "Wait, Lady Bovino?"

"Yeah, apparently she's the one that wants to talk to me." He knows his voice is shaking but he can't control it. His mother is someone he'll always be afraid of and with good reason.

"Did they say what she wanted?"

Lambo shakes his head, "We left before they could say much more but I'm sure they don't know. Moth-uh, Lady Bovino isn't one to share her plans with those lesser than her."

"It's because you're the Bovino's heir apparent."

Lambo shrieks at the new voice behind him and jumps off to the floor. Reborn doesn't bother to hide his smirk.

"St-stupid Reborn! You know how much I hate you doing that." Lambo shouts while clutching his painful side. Tsuna helps him back up, frowning at Reborn as he does.

"Shouldn't that have been taken care of a long time ago?" Tsuna asks.

"If they left something incomplete, they might need Lambo to finalize the paperwork so he can stand aside and allow Timo to become the official heir. Either that or they plan to kill Lambo."

Lambo widens his eyes, "They want to kill me?"

"We wouldn't let that happen, Lambo. They'd have to extremely go over our dead bodies."

"Unless they've already started to plan a way to get him out of the picture. We had no idea this was fucking happening. They could easily have killed him already and we wouldn't have known anything about it."

"Hayato, you're scaring Lambo," Yamamoto states while looking at how pale the teen is turning.

"Shit, sorry. Look, you're fine and we'll make sure nothing happens, alright?"

"Tsuna-nii, I don't want to die," Lambo whimpers with a pout before he begins to wail. Gokudera shrinks at the glares he receives from his brothers.

"Lambo, we're not going to let them anywhere near you. Nothing is going to happen to you, little brother."

Lambo wipes his nose at the sound of the doorbell and watches Yamamoto go to answer it.

"Tsuna-nii, I'm scared but I know I can't just hide forever. Will you go with me to see what they want? At least then I have better chances of living."

Before Tsuna can reply, Yamamoto calls out, "Tsuna, the Bovino heir would like to see you."

Lambo quickly wipes his eyes and hopes they aren't too red. Tsuna stands and tells them to go to the living room. Once there, Tsuna sits at the head of the table with his present guardians on either side - Lambo sits right next to him on the left side.

Yamamoto stands by the entrance where he can keep an eye on Timo who enters with a slight smile and Lambo can't help but worry.

"Decimo, I apologize for showing up without an appointment."

Tsuna leans forward on the table and Lambo can feel the power radiating from his brother.

"I take it you're here to pay for the attack on my brother?"

"That was a misunderstanding, Decimo. One which wouldn't have happened if Little Lambo had listened in the first place."

Lambo curls into himself feeling shame and fear come over him. Simply hearing that nickname makes him feel like a little kid instead of the thirteen-year-old he is.

"You are in my home, Timo. Don't make the mistake of thinking you can say what you want without repercussions."

Timo frowns but then smiles again, "I'm sorry, Decimo. I wasn't trying to be rude - it's a force of habit in addressing my cousin in that way. Lambo, I'm sorry. It's not my intention to insult you."

Lambo nods but he knows Timo isn't really sorry and would kill him if he was able to get away with it.

"You know better than to request a member of another famiglia without the boss's approval," Reborn says from his spot near the window.

"I do. It seems Auntie got impatient and wanted Lit-Lambo over as soon as possible to sign some papers."

"Does this have to do with Lambo being the Bovino's heir apparent?"

Timo frowns and Lambo knows this is something nobody was supposed to know about.

"Unfortunately, this is Bovino business and I'm not allowed to discuss it with other famiglias. I can swear no harm will come to Lambo but I do need him to come with me."

Lambo begins to tremble. He knows they don't have to physically hurt him to cause him harm. Tsuna leans back and gently places his hand on Lambo's knee without anybody seeing to offer some comfort.

"I'm sure you'll understand why I don't trust anything you say."

"With all due respect, that is not my problem."

"He is my brother, part of my famiglia and I say he's not going anywhere without me. If you even try to say it's not possible then you will have a problem. Is that understood?"

Lambo watches his brother with awe. He has seen Tsuna be the Tenth plenty of times but seeing him in this form over him? That's always a sight to behold and one he always treasures because it means he really is loved.

Timo clenches his fists but doesn't say anything right away. The nineteen-year-old heir takes a breath then smiles as if nothing happened.

"Very well. I will set-up a meeting between Lady Bovino, myself and yourselves next week so we can straighten this mess out once and for all. Will that be ok, Decimo?"

The way he growls 'Decimo' sends a shiver down Lambo's spine but his brother replies as calm and collected as expected from the Tenth.

"Let me know once it's set,"

"And Juudaime isn't going anywhere without his guardians," Gokudera adds with a snarl.

Once Timo leaves, Lambo slouches in his seat feeling sick to his stomach. He knows he's the Lightning Guardian which means technically he is there to attract trouble away from his family but this is ridiculous!

"Lambo, are you ok?"

"I'm terrified. I know nothing will happen with you there but I'm still scared." He answers with a groan. "I'm such a baby!"

"Lambo," Tsuna begins but is interrupted by Gokudera.

"Damn right you're acting like a fucking baby. I already told you we're not letting anything happen to you so stop acting like you don't trust us to keep you safe, you little shit."

"Hayato, really?" The incredulous tone snaps Gokudera from his speech.

"Ah, sorry, Juudaime! I meant to say he's going to be fine."

"Haha! You sure have a way with words, Hayato."

"Shut up, baseball freak!"

"It's been a while since you've called me that Octopus-head."

Lambo watches his brothers begin to argue with Ryohei laughing at the scene. Tsuna places a hand on his shoulder and Lambo feels comforted knowing he's not alone in this.

"You'll be fine,"

And really, Lambo has no other choice but to believe him.


The week passes slowly and painfully. Once Tsuna receives notice about the time and date for the meeting, Lambo isn't able to sleep a wink. He has been a nervous wreck which didn't help anyone.

They had agreed to meet at a neutral place where both families felt secure and were allowed to take some people with them. Tsuna, of course, had taken his guardians and Reborn.

Lady Bovino was accompanied by Timo and a few dozen men Lambo knew all too well. Francisco Goda, his former tutor is there as well which makes Lambo want to run away. Unfortunately, Gokudera must have felt his intentions and gently grabs the teen by the shoulders before whispering,

"We're right here. If anybody takes a step towards you, I'll fucking kill them."

Lambo feels strangely comforted by the possible murder and feels himself relax until he sees his mother.

"Lady Bovino, I'd say it's a pleasure to see you again but I don't enjoy meeting with people who hurt my family."

Lambo sees Reborn's eye twitch just a fraction and knows Tsuna is going to pay for his rudeness once they get home.

She looks towards Lambo and the teen feels like shrinking at her glare but Gokudera keeps him standing straight.

"Let's get this over with, shall we?" Timo says with a smile which doesn't fool anyone.

It is decided Tsuna and Reborn will accompany Lambo to meet with Lady Bovino, Timo and Goda inside the room to discuss important matters while the others wait outside.

"You'll be fine, Lambo. You have the world's greatest hitman and Tsuna by your side. Plus, we'll keep watch out here." Yamamoto tells him before walking away.

"Kufufu, I hope we're able to enjoy ourselves a bit."

"Mukuro-sama, not now." Chrome chastises.

Lambo follows after Tsuna with Reborn behind them. Lady Bovino sits at the end of a table set-up just for them and impatiently watches Goda place a few papers in front of her.

"It seems I had forgotten," She looks at Lambo and the teen knows she's wondering what to call him without making things worse for them. "To change the status of heir apparent. All I need is for...him to sign his Bovino inheritance away."

Tsuna asks to see the papers which he and Reborn look over. As they do, Goda smirks at Lambo and the teen feels like crying. Even after all these years Lambo is still afraid of the things he knows they can do to him.

Without looking up from the papers, Tsuna says with a deadly calm, "Please don't look at my brother, it bothers me."

Goda immediately clenches his fists but he does look away. Timo doesn't even look towards the teen.

Once they're done, Tsuna and Reborn nod at each other. "Alright, everything seems to be in order. Lambo, by signing this you'll be officially free of the Bovinos. You will have no claim to any inheritance which includes the title of heir apparent."

Lambo nods in understanding. The last thing he wants is to be affiliated with their twisted group.

"You will also be abandoning my name," Timo adds with a smile.

"What?"

Tsuna places a hand on his shoulder, "Once you sign these papers you will no longer be allowed to call yourself a Bovino."

"You can't have a family name without a family, after all." Lady Bovino states as she admires her nails.

It's obvious she doesn't care about him and she's enjoying getting rid of him. Well, he won't give her the satisfaction.

"I have a family," He whispers. Ok, so it's not a loud proclamation but she hears him.

"How dare you talk back to me, you filth?"

"Cut the act, mother." He says shaking with fear but there is also anger. "I ne-never belonged with you, with the Bovinos. I-I'm better than that and I do have a family. One that accepts me just as I am and doesn't care if I stay average. I don't need to prove myself to them as I did with you. They just accept me."

Lady Bovino stands with fury clearly all over her face. "Do you feel better now that you've had your say? You can be whatever you want as long as it has nothing to do with the Bovinos. My only mistake was letting you live, you piece of-"

"Don't you dare insult my brother, Lady Bovino," Tsuna says slowly standing up as well. "I am here as a courtesy but don't mistake that as giving you permission to speak freely to my brother. He does have a family and we will defend him against anyone." The silent threat lingers in the air.

Timo places a hand on his aunt's arm and whispers something in her ear. The Bovino first lady begrudgingly nods then takes a seat once more. "Sign the papers so we can leave."

Tsuna hands Lambo the papers and a pen. He shows him where to sign and soon they're finished. Timo takes the papers then signs some himself to ascertain himself the new heir apparent.

"Well, it's been great but we need to go now." Timo helps Lady Bovino to the door followed by Goda. The Vongola trio follows after them and heads outside to a spectacular sight.

Lambo blinks once then twice then begins to laugh. There, splayed all over the empty lot are the Bovino men; bloodied and bruised while the Vongola men and Chrome stand over them with cheerful smiles.

"Hiya, Tsuna," Yamamoto greets with a grin.

"What is the meaning of this?" Timo shouts. "This is a declaration of war, Decimo."

"War? We merely agreed to a training exercise which your men brilliantly brought up, kufufu."

"So-sorry, boss." One of the men manages to say between gasps of pain.

"Weaklings," Hibari states.

"It looks like your men might have learned some new moves, you're welcome," Tsuna says with a smile.

Lady Bovino looks furious but says nothing as she makes her way to the limo waiting. Timo instructs Goda to take care of the men then follows his aunt.

Tsuna guides his famiglia to their own limo as he listens to them tell of their short battle. Lambo is smiling brightly as he listens intently as well and laughs when they say how easily they defeated the Bovino men.

"I can see why you don't belong with them, Lambo. You're much stronger than them."

At Yamamoto's comment, Lambo can't help but frown. "I never belonged with them but now it's official. I'm just Lambo now." He says with a weak smile.

Tsuna ruffles his hair, "You were never just Lambo. You've always been incredible, little brother."

"Yeah, ok," He says sarcastically. "Now I'm Lambo Incredible Little Brother. That doesn't sound very good, does it?"

Tsuna laughs, "True, that sounds pretty crappy and long."

"You haven't told him, Juudaime?"

"Told me what?"

Tsuna sighs then gives an albeit nervous smile, "I knew what would happen today and took it upon myself to set some things in motion."

Lambo frowns, "What things?"

"How does Lambo Sawada sound?"

There's nothing but silence for a solid minute and Lambo can see Tsuna begin to fidget. It's incredible how strong and fearless the Tenth can be when Tsunayoshi Sawada still gets nervous and scared.

"Lambo, you don't have to be adopted if you don't want. I should have asked you first but-"

Lambo throws himself at his older brother then begins to cry. "Are you really adopting me? Is mom ok with this? Does she know?"

Tsuna returns the hug, "Yes, mom and dad signed the necessary papers. All that's needed is your name."

"So I'll be the new heir to the Sawadas?"

The others laugh along with Tsuna, "There's only one Juudaime, stupid."

"I know that, Stupidera. He knows what I mean."

"Why you little-"

"Lambo Sawada, it sounds perfect!"

Lambo hugs his brother once more. "I can't believe I'm really your brother now."

"You've always been my brother, no piece of paper can change that."

"I know but it feels good having it made official. I can't wait to tell I-Pin and Fuuta and Kenji and Fran and-"

Lambo continues to ramble on as his family listens with amusement. He may have lost his status as heir apparent to the Bovinos but he sealed his status as a member of this family. Lambo Sawada is here to stay and he can't wait for everyone to know.
