The morning came and Reborn felt himself pulled out of his pleasant sleep. He opened his eyes and looked down, only to see, that he was the only one in his bed.

Reborn bolted upright in alarm and looked around frantically. Suddenly he heard a loud crash coming from what he assumed must be the kitchen. All tension left his body instantly for he knew who was the cause of the ruckus.

The handsome adult strolled towards the kitchen, dreading what he might come across. He slowly approached the kitchen and cautiously opened the door...just to have something sticky and wet land in his face.

After wiping his face with his hand, he stood there stock-still. The kitchen was hardly recognizable as the kitchen he had once bought. It was covered over and over in dough, flour and other substances he didn't really want to know about. All in all...the kitchen was a mess!

And in the middle of the kitchen, covered in all the sticky stuff, was the little heir to the Vongola throne, trying to save what little he could.

'Tsunayoshi! What did you do?'

Tsuna shrieked at hearing the angry voice of the older and ducked under a nearby chair. He looked up at Reborn with teary eyes and his bottom lip sticking out.

'I-I am sorry, Reborn! I-I wanted to surprise you a-and make you some yummy pancakes for breakfast. But then...I don't know! The mixer went all wild and then the flour bag fell to the floor and the-'

'Enough!', Reborn shook his head,'what am I going to do with you Tsuna?'

Tsuna felt so guilty for causing Reborn so much trouble. He had planned it all so well, but then everything went out of control.

Tsuna shuffled slowly over to Reborn and stood before him with his eyes locked on the floor.

'Gomene Reborn. I'll clean the kitchen myself. J-Just go do your business and when you come back I'll have the whole kitchen cleaned up...'

Tsuna turned around and started taking out some cleaning utensils. Reborn went over to help him, but little Tsuna declined his offer.

'No, I-I will do this myself!'

'Tsuna...I'm proud of you that you realized your own mistake, but it will take the whole day to clean up the kitchen. Let me help you, it will go faster, if we do it together.'

But Tsuna vehemently shook his head.

'No, no it was Tsuna's fault. It's alright.'

Reborn tried a few more times to get Tsuna to let him help, but the little toddler was just too stubborn. In the end, Reborn gave up and left the room to work on some papers.


Reborn really couldn't concentrate on his work, for he was way to worried for his little charge. It had been four hours already and he could still hear Tsuna cleaning.

'He must be tired...maybe I was too strict with him. I mean, he IS just a mere four years old child. And he DID want to surprise me with making breakfast. Man...now I am the one at fault, huh?'

Reborn made his way to the kitchen and peered inside. He saw Tsuna wiping at one really persistent spot on the floor. He himself was still covered in dough and flour, but the kitchen was nearly clean. It actually started to sparkle.

Reborn stood there in awe and felt pride swell up in his chest. His little charge was really something when determined enough.

'You did really good, Tsuna. I'm proud of you.'

Tsuna was startled by the sudden appearance of the adult.

'IIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHh! R-Reborn!'

Reborn ruffled Tsuna's caramel locks in an affectionate way and chuckled at the antics of the little tiny child.

'Alright Tsuna, you're nearly done. What do you say about taking a bath, while I fix us something to eat?'

Tsuna nodded and shuffled out of the kitchen. At the doorway he turned back to Reborn.

'Umm...Reborn?'

'Yes?'

'C-Can we ...umm...have...pancakes?'

Reborn refrained from laughing out loud and changed to a quiet chuckle.

'Sure! They will be ready when you get out of your bath.'

With that Tsuna smiled once again his beautiful smile. Reborn could have sworn he saw flowers appear behind the child and blinked again. But Tsuna had already left, so Reborn started on the pancakes.


Tsuna went into the bath, got rid of his clothes and filled the tube with the wonderful warm water.

After the tube was filled, he eased himself in the water and closed his eyes in comfort.

'Aaahhh...that feels so nice.'


The time flew by and Reborn found himself sitting at the kitchen table. The pancakes were already done and the table was set...but Tsuna still hadn't come out of the bathroom.

Reborn frowned and decided to check up on him.

He knocked on the bathroom door. No answer. He knocked again.

'Tsuna? Are you alright in there?'

Still no answer. Reborn was really worried by now.

'Tsuna. I will break this door. If you hear me, step back.'

With that Reborn crashed his foot against the door, which broke down instantly. He rushed inside only to see a fast asleep Tsuna lying with his head on the edge of the tube. Reborn sweat-dropped at the sight. He went over to Tsuna and shook him lightly. Tsuna opened his eyes and rubbed them in a cute way.

'Rewon? W-What awe you dowing here?'

'You fell asleep while bathing, Tsuna. You know that that is really dangerous. You could have drowned!'

Tsuna yawned and looked tiredly at Reborn.

'I'm sowwy Rebown.'

Tsuna was still not really awake, so Reborn helped him out of the tube and toweled him dry. Then he clothed him in comfortable clothes and let the wasted water flow down the drain.

Reborn picked Tsuna up, who snuggled into his embrace and put his head on the older's shoulder.

They entered the kitchen and Reborn placed Tsuna on one chair, while he sat opposite form him.

'Eat up, Tsuna.'

The delicious smell of the pancakes woke Tsuna fully up and he immediately started to dig in. He poured a large amount of syrup over his pancakes, until the sticky stuff flowed over the plate and onto the table. But Tsuna didn't mind and started to gulp down the delicious food. While eating he made a mess out of himself again. His entire face was covered in syrup and pieces of pancakes. Reborn, could only watch him. He found the little child just so cute, even while making a mess of himself while eating. Others might have found it disgusting, but for Reborn, he was just so adorable. Reborn sighed at the small child. He started to eat himself and savored the sweet flavor of the food. After he was done eating, he went over to Tsuna and held his chin firmly in one hand. He neared Tsuna's face his own and licked some of the syrup off of Tsuna's cheek.

Tsuna blushed furiously.

'W-what are you doing, Reborn?'

'Cleaning!'

Reborn smirked and continued to lick the sticky stuff off of Tsuna's face.

When Tsuna was 'clean' enough, Reborn licked his lips and smirked at the cute blush that Tsuna sported. Reborn washed the dishes and went over to Tsuna.

He sat down and patted his lap as a sign for Tsuna to come over and sit in his lap. Tsuna complied and seated himself in Reborn's lap.

'Tsuna, I'm sorry for being so strict with you, but you need to learn your place and rules to follow. You will soon face hard times, and I can't always be there for you and help you out. But still...you know you can always come to me, I'm on your side, remember that.'

Tsuna was awed by Reborn's words, for the man normally didn't like to show any emotions at all...Tsuna felt really happy by Reborn's words and wrapped his little arms around Reborn's neck.

'Thank you Reborn. I love you so much.'
