It's almost 14th and Tsuna frowning at a piece of paper in his hand. How could Kyudaime do this to him? He is still Junior High School's student and sixteen for the matter! (just say so, okay)
"Reborn, I have to fly to Italy."
"Okay. Don't worry, I will take care of everything here."
"I don't think I would have a chance to say goodbye to everyone. Tell them I leave in hurry and also send my apology to Kyoya and Mukuro for not telling them first. I leave everything to you."
The Vongola Juudaime waste no time and fly to Italy leaving his tutor to have his own fun with everyone. What would he do this time? It's always exciting to tease the Cloud and Mist Guardians and he can't wait to bring them the news from Kyudaime. It was originally for Tsuna but the kid didn't say anything about not telling the others right? This year's Valentine would be the best in many ways.
The next day
Reborn woke up that morning feeling wonderfully excited. He dress up quickly and head to the dining room where he knows everybody would be there in a minute for breakfast. He is the first one to be there. The others soon shows up one by one and greet him. When everyone is there and about to start eating he interrupt it by flicking his finger.
"I have an announcement to make."
"What is it Reborn-san? And where is Juudaime by the way?"
Reborn hide his smirk under his fedora and act cool. "This is about Tsuna." Everybody suddenly become serious. Hopefully there won't be anything bad happened to their Boss. "A letter from Kyudaime just arrived yesterday. It's about time."
"About time for what?"
"For Tsuna to find a wife."
"Eeeeeeeeee?!" As usual protest and question come flying to him like bullets.
"Isn't Juudaime a is too young to get married?"
"Isn't Tsuna swing the other way? How could he marry a girl?"
"What is Kyudaime thinking?"
"What did Tsuna-kun say about this?"
Bang!
Reborn shot the Leon pistol to silent all of them. "Shut up you all. It's not your place to decide. It's his duty as the Boss. He need a descendant to continue the line of Vongola, of course he need to be married. And there is no rules that said he can't married in a young age. If he want to success the tittle of Vongola Juudaime has has no choice."
"What about the girl? Has she also already been chosen?"
"Tsuna would have the privilege to choose himself but it'll still need the approval of Kyudaime and the External advisor. Not too different with the inheritance."
"Does Hibari and Mukuro know about this?" Finally someone ask that question. But before Reborn answer the said two appear in the room. They held a very strong dark aura around them. They both just get back from mission. They intend to see their beloved boyfreind and be lovey dovey after a long mission, but this is what they got instead. A very very bad joke.
"Oi baby, don't you dare to tell lies." Hibari's grip on the wall almost destroy it.
"Kufufu, it's not a very nice joke to share, Arcobaleno."
"I never joke about this kind of thing." Reborn shows them the letter with Kyudaime's dying will as the seal. "You can see it for yourself. But please don't make a ruckus. I tried to enjoy my morning coffee."
Hibari and Mukuro read the letter in turn and after finish reading it Mukuro throw the paper back to the Sun Arcobaleno and heading out along with his partner. Before they can take another step away from the doorway Reborn stop them.
"What are you two going to do?"
"Follow our Tsu to Italy and take him back with us."
"Don't be stupid. I won't allow you."
"Try and stop us."
The morning duel begin. Hibari and Mukuro don't care about pride at the moment and attack together. Since it will be troublesome to fight in the dining room, Reborn lure them in to the training ground. How he do that, no one knows for sure but he did. As expected from an Arcobaleno.
The others follow them there and watch the fight from the side. It was a very great fight. The said two strongest Guardians of Vongola could fight almost equals with the strongest Arcobaleno, but Reborn won't let that stay for long. He drew a surprise shot and hit them both on each of their shoulder. It took Hibari and Mukuro two seconds to finally realize they were shot, but it was nothing.
"Oya, what kind of bullet did you use? It doesn't hurt at all."
Reborn only smirk at them. "You'll see."
"I don't like that look of you, baby."
When they want to charge again oddly their body won't move. It's like someone put a spell on them and it got them petrified. But then judging by the smug look on Reborn's face it must be his doing. They sent him a very dark aura and the others who are watching don't really understand what happen.
"Now you feel it, huh. It was a special bullet I got from Verde with a lot of cost, but it's another matter." They glare at him even more. "You can glare all you want but you won't be able to move for at least two days, no matter how strong you resist."
Reborn turn to the audience and order them to tie up the two petrified boys. Gokudera is the most excited one where Yamamoto just glad to join the interesting game. After everything is secured, Reborn asked all the others to leave him alone with the two. They give the two boys a sorry look but leave nevertheless. They know how the Baby can be so evil sometimes.
"Does this rope really necessary? You said we won't be able to move for two days. And why do I the only one who have to wear this funny bracelet?" The bitter sound in Mukuro's voice is hard to miss.
"I just enjoy the view of you two being so helpless. About the bracelet, it's another special equipment. With that on, you won't be able to use your illusion or move to another body. Aren't I nice."
"When I get my strength back, I swear I will.."
"Bite me to death? Yeah, I know what you want to say, Hibari. But that's not what I want to talk about." Reborn found himself a good spot to sit and continue his explanation, or torturing? "Tsuna knows this would happened."
"Like hell he is."
"Shut up Hibari, or I will make you." They stare at each other for some seconds until Hibari look away. "Just listen, answer when I ask you or you will face the consequence. Got it? Okay then, let me continue. As the Boss he knows all the rules and traditions of Vongola including the successor. It was explained to him when he accept the title of Juudaime. We even gave him time to think about it before accepting, so he has no excuse to object now. It's his duty." Both mix matched and grey eyes show him their disagreement. "What, you don't think so?"
Mukuro take that as a green light to share their thought. "Tsu won't agree with it. He won't leave us."
"Don't be so sure about that. Do you really think this is only about the three of you? Tsuna has his mother Nana to think about. Do you think he would choose you two over his own mother? No matter how he loves you I don't think he would."
Both Guardians consider those words. Tsuna promised them he would never leave them no matter what, yes he was. But he loves his mother, they know that. Nana is a good mother and she even give the three of them bless to be a happy couple, triple, lovers. They like her too and in some point they even consider him as their mother as well, since they don't really have one. If they insist of having Tsuna then they would have to hurt Nana. But if they want to save Nana they might loose Tsuna. It's a very hard decision to make.
Both of them are deep in thought so the Arcobaleno decide to leave them. He will visit them again later, but now he has another group he need to mess. The said group is gathering in the ground floor. They are always there when they need to relax or just to kill the time together.
Not all of them is there. They who presents are Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Chrome, Basil, Bianchi, Irie, Spanner and Kusakabe who is visiting. The girls are currently doing their chores and the kids help them. Nana is in Italy because of the same matter. Iemitsu told her about the whole mafia thing at some point but she react as the old Yamamoto was and thought of it as merely a joke. But she knows all the members of the Famiglia and has no problem with them. She is there to help his husband and his son to prepare about this whole 'finding Tsuna a wife' thing.
"Ah Reborn-dono, how are Hibari-dono and Mukuro-dono?"
"They are doing some thinking right now so don't bother. I'll check on them later."
"Then, how about the letter? I was the one who delivered it to Sawada-dono but I don't have any idea about the content. Master also never mention anything about wedding. It was quite a shock." Basil's confession earned everybody's nod.
"I got a call from Tsuna this morning." Each of the occupant in the room shriek their surprised and curious reaction at the baby. "He said he asked Kyudaime to postpone the agenda and wait until at least he graduate high school. Kyudaime turn the request down of course." Reborn say it as if he know what would happen.
"So, what will Tsuna do?"
"He is working on something so he won't be in Japan for a while. Not until this problem settled." Their friend and Boss is in trouble but they couldn't help him. Gloom filled the whole room and it please the home tutor. "You won't help Tsuna by making such a face. Don't worry, Iemitsu and Nana are also there with him. Tsuna is your Boss, put some confidence in him."
Tsuna is a dependable Boss and a great friend. They trust him and will always be, but a little bit concern won't hurt. "I hope Kyo-san will be able to overcome this problem, Mukuro too." Knowing his leader's personallity Kusakabe can't help but worry.
"Yeah, your president is really stubborn and possesive, the same as his partner. But it won't hold long, they soon will give up. At least for Tsuna's sake. I'll make sure of it."
Each day Tsuna in Itally, Reborn will fed the Cloud and Mist Guardian with some news. Most of them makes them go even more miserable. They even forgot it's already past two days so the effect of the bullet the other day already wear off. Both didn't even move an inch from their spot and didn't talk much.
It's not like Gokudera and the others grow close with the two, but if something bad happen to the two while Tsuna is not here they sure the young mafia will be mad. With some difficulty they managed to move both of the boys to the guest room, since they couldn't open their room.
"It isn't like them to act like this. Don't you think it's weird? Well, I understand the problem is quite big. But come on, this is Hibari and Mukuro we are talking about." The Rain Guardian is actually bothered by this since the second day since Tsuna leave. The two were too obedient ra
ther than their usual rebellion self.
"When you said it that way I think I understand what you mean." Not quite often Gokudera is agree with Yamamoto.
"Mukuro-sama never be like this before."
"You guys were right. Do you think we need to call Tsunayoshi-kun and ask him how things going on there?"
They all agree with Irie and call their Boss. They call Vongola Headquarter's number and was pick by Dino. It's a coincidence the Cavallone's Boss is there by the phone when it's ring so he pick it up.
"How come Dino-san the one who answer the phone?" The one who call is Yamamoto.
"Ah, it's not that I want to but everybody is busy at the moment. Tsuna is throwing another of his protest so it's quite alive here. My little brother can be really tough sometimes. Perhaps you can hear the noises."
He can faintly hear all the shouting, they probably just at the next room. "Does it mean we can't talk to him? This is quite urgent actually."
"I'm affraid, not. I will tell him that you called. Perhaps he will call you back later when he cools off."
"It can't be help then. Thank you, Dino-san." He turn to all his friend and shake his head sadly. "Tsuna is working hard convincing Kyudaime, we shouldn't bother him. I'm affraid we have to deal with this ourself until Tsuna comes back."
"We can't let them stay in this state when Tsuna is home. He might not appreciate it."
But how should they do it? Hibari and Mukuro are too drawn in their own mind. No one can reach them in their current state. It's like they've been drugged or hypnotized. The only person they listen to is Reborn. Perhaps all of these are the Baby's doing. The possibilities is there. They've been shot by a bullet made by Verde. Who knows maybe the crazy scientist put another effect in it. It would be the worst case they have.
"They make me crazy. I should just beat the sense out of them." Gokudera pull out his dynamite and heading toward the guest room. Realizing their friend's intention, the rest of the group run after the Italian boy and tried to stop him.
They manage to grab him right before Gokudera throw his dynamite. They wrestle to be free from each other. In that mess, the dynamites accidentally fly off to Hibari and Mukuro's direction. The worse thing is they are already lit. They only have some second to cover before the explosion shaken the room.
They just had destroy another room and they even forgot to safe the two brooding boys. There are cough and rustles could be heard from behind the smoke. Thank god they are safe, but doesn't mean they would be fine.
"Oya, oya, who dare enough to blow me up when I'm in such condition?"
"I'll bite all of you death."
There is a very menacing aura coming from the two tall figure in the room. It's like seeing two demons who just raise back from hell. The culprit and the rest coming out from their hiding and ready to flea. But the two demons are too fast for them and manage to held them all in place.
"Don't you think it's rude to leave just like that after giving us such a helpful aid?"
"Thanks to your explosion we were able to get back to our sense. We need to thank you, don't you think?" Both are still spreading a dark aura that makes the others worry for their life.
"You don't need to be so modest, we are friends. Friends help each other, right?" Yamamoto's statement get a quick nod from the rest. They really want to get out of there but the angry two makes it hard for them.
"Is there any news from Tsu?"
"Eh?" The sudden change of topic caught them off guard. Hibari and Mukuro cease their killing aura and lower their tone. The group throw their gaze to Yamamoto. The Rain Guardian put a confused look but soon catch the message.
"We haven't heard anything new from Tsuna. The baby always be the one who keep in touch with him and he mostly kept the informations to himself. We tried to reach him our self not long ago but he was in the middle of something so we could't talk."
"What thing?" For some seconds Yamamoto didn't get what Hibari means but he understand it the next second.
"Dino-san said Tsuna is in the middle of convincing Kyudaime. He throw another of his protest, they were even yelling. I only heard it from the phone so perhaps the situation over there was even more intense."
Silence hit them for a while until the prefect and illusionist look at each other and nod. "Thanks," and they leave the group with a shock in their life. That was the first thanks they heard from the two. Now they worry perhaps the earlier explosion did some brain damage to the two. They need to call a doctor, for Hibari and Mukuro and also for them self.
The said two are heading to their room but intercepted by Reborn even before they reach the west wing. The look on their face telling the baby that they had enough with his lecture in the past few days and don't need any more of it.
"Then, I promise if you will put my words into your mind I will let you two alone."
"They are already in there! I couldn't get rid of it even if I want to!" Mukuro burst out shocking his partner. The illusionist took a very deep breath and calm himself. Hibari tap his partner's shoulder and lead them to go.
"Where are you going?"
"Anywhere away from you, baby."
"Oh, come on. Like I told you before, it's not like Tsuna will leave you anyway. You just need to share." The comment left cold shoulder by the two. No one will see them for a while until they decide to show them self, or when Tsuna come and pick them up. He always know where to find those two.
"Ah, finally! I miss this view." A young mafia in his formal mafia suit is walking leisurely in his beloved Namimori. Finally he can see his Famiglia again, and more importantly the one he love. "I can't wait to see their expression when I tell them the news."
He glance at his watch and it still school time. He bet everyone are still there so he walk straight toward Namimori Junior. Poeple's eyes are on him with every steps he took. Tsuna wonder why would that be. Was there something wrong going on?
"Oi, dame-Tsuna! What's with the good look? You skip school but you care more about your appearance." One of the schoolmate tease him. And he just remember he's still wearing his mafia suit.
Tsuna only let out a dry laugh. "Maybe it's better if I go home first and change my clothes,"he say to himself. But it's too late now, he is here and he miss his Famiglia.
"Juudaime!" Just when he thought about them Gokudera come running. Tsuna is about to greet his Storm Guardian but Gokudera keep running until he pass him. "I'm sorry Juudaime. I will properly greet you later!"
"Eh? Gokudera-kun? What happened?" It's not like Gokudera to ignore his beloved Juudaime. Not long after that, there are a bunch of girls who are running toward where Gokudera went and they are squealing like crazy.
"Gokudera-kun, wait for me!" Now Tsuna see the problem. But what it's that all about? He knows the Italian boy is quite famous among girls but they never be like this. Perhaps this is Gokudera's birthday? Nah, of course not.
He let it past and continue his trip. The destination is of course the reception room. He would have to greet Mukuro later and apologize, first is to do the same thing to the school prefect. On his trip there, Tsuna greeted by another similar view as Gokudera before. And this time is Yamamoto's turn. He wonder, what really happen in this school? He only left for a week and he already miss something.
Kusakabe is on his guard as usual standing in front of the room. He greet the mafia boy and invite him to enter the room. At first he didn't believe what he see but soon he realize it wasn't a dream or an illusion and it makes him happy.
"Kyoya! Mukuro! I can't believe I can see you both here!" He run into them and hug them both tight. This is a rare occasion to see Mukuro came and stayed at school and for Hibari to let the illusionist be in the school area, more over in his office. "How can you two be here?" He let go his embrace and sit with the two.
"Because the Arcobaleno won't shut up, so we leave." Mukuro still sound pissed at the baby.
"Reborn? What did he do this time?"
Hibari sigh at this. "He gave us a massive headache." Tsuna crook his eyebrow. He doesn't understand what Hibari means but he look troubled, he can see that. Reborn like to mess with people's mind so it's to be expected.
"Then, how about things in Italy?"
Mukuro's question remind him about his main reason to see them in the first place. "Ah right. Hm, before that I want to ask something. Did Reborn tell you the reason why I went to Italy?" Both turn stiff. Here it is, the worst is going to be happen. They give him a short nod. "So I don't need to tell you the whole story. Like you already know Kyudaime asked me to get married in this three months. But I succeed to delay it until I graduate high school. I'm too young to be in such serious commitment. It took me the whole week to finally got their consent."
"Really?" They both sounds really happy at this. "So you won't get married anytime soon?"
"No, but they still order me to find the suit one to be my wife. So we will held the title of fiance until the time limit." That sure ruin the relief.
"So, have you found this supposed to be a wife?"
Another crook on Tsuna's forehead. "Of course I did. That's why I'm here." No one say anything for sometimes. The mood it somehow bad. "I hope you two won't mind to share. I understand about your pride and all but I don't want to loose any of you."
This is just like what the baby said before. Tsuna also feel the same way. They don't want to loose each other but he still have to carry out his duty. And he loves his Famiglia. They couldn't ask for more. Each of them give Tsuna their smile and grab each of his hand. "Anything for you, Tsu." They say it in unison and kiss their lover's hand.
Tsuna return the smile. "For us." He love them so much and now he love them even more. He is glad to have them both with him.
"Then, what will we do now?"
"Let's go home and wait for everybody. I want to make the announcement myself."
They agree with him and head home. Tsuna look appealing in his suit especially when there are two handsome boys walk at each side of him. Everybody look at the three of them in awe. They almost not believe this is the same dame-Tsuna they know.
The Boss and his two Guardians don't really pay attention at the crowds, even Hibari doesn't look care at all. What they have in mind right now is the word home, fiance, announcement and wedding. Thought Tsuna has a different image about it.
The main actors has to wait until diner to tell everyone the happy news. Each of them anticipate what would their boss tell them.
"It's decided, I will have to get married but it will be delayed until I graduate high school. Even so, it still confirmed that I need to find the one that would be my wife."
"Have you found it then, Tsuna?"
"Of course. It's not that I need to search anyway."
It surprised them to know that it would be someone they knew. "So, who is the girl?"
"Oh, the girl is.. eh? Wait, what girl?"
"Your fiance of course. The one that supposed to be your wife?"
"Hah? Did you forget that I don't like girls? How can I.." Tsuna's eyes meet Reborn's. That's when he realize what is this all about. "You told them another crazy thing, don't you Reborn?"
"I never say anything about girls either."
Tsuna smack his own face. He knew it's not good leaving them all alone with Reborn. This is what happened when you trust him with a delicate matter. Really, what is his problem? Tsuna doesn't know what to say anymore, he only blow a very long sigh. So that explain the funny reaction from his boyfriends before.
"Okay, we got it there would be no girl. So who is the lucky one?" Yamamoto really is carefree. He recover his shock pretty fast.
"It's not one Yamamoto-kun, there are two."
"Eh?"
"Do you guys really have to ask? Of course it would be Kyoya and Mukuro."
"Eeeeeeee?!" They all shriek together and it includes Hibari and Mukuro, believe it or not.
"S-so, Hibari-kun and Mukuro-kun would be your wife? That doesn't sound right to me." Irie's remark make the others imagine the scene.
"Ah, I now it would give them trouble but.." But before he can finish his word, the said fiance kidnap him and took him away from them.
Now Tsuna has to face his two lovers alone. They settle them self in Tsuna's room and the owner is currently sat on his bed while his lovers are standing in front of him demanding for explanations.
"Calm down you two, I know what you want to say. Why Reborn would always confuse thing's up? He always gave me a headache." Looking at their boyfriend's troubled face makes Hibari and Mukuro settled down. They go on their knee and once again took the loving hand of their lover.
"I'm sorry, Tsu. I just don't know what to do. I don't know whether to be happy, angry, excited or just kill the baby."
"Hm, I don't know Mukuro can be so agitated."
"Only you who can do it to me."
"But I want you to be happy." Tsuna pull them both to sit together with him. He lean on Mukuro when he is still holding Hibari's hand. "I'm sorry. I did what I can but this all I can do for us."
"What do you mean?" Tsuna face Hibari this time.
"Oh, when I asked them to change the position they persisted to make me as the husband. Especially when I told them I want to have the both of you, not one of you. They told me to pick either of you but I said if I have only one of you I won't get married at all. That sure gives them trouble. At the end they agree to let me have the two of you as long as I stay to be the husband. That's why I said you two have to share."
"So that's what you were arguing about? I thought you will argue about the one to be your wife."
"No, they knew it from the start that I would pick the two of you and there are no rules that said I can't marry a man."
"We were worry for nothing."
"It was all thanks to Reborn."
Hibari pull Tsuna to his embrace and hug him close. Mukuro join the intimacy and the three of them hold each other hands. They stay like that for another five minutes until Hibari broke the silence.
"I won't have to loose you."
"I promised I won't leave either of you, didn't I."
"Sometimes Kyoya-kun can shows a tenderness like this."
"Only for Tsu."
"Definitely. Me too."
The mafia boss kiss them both and hug them again. "I have a very loving wife." He said it playfully which earn a light blush on both of his Guardian's cheek.
"Even so, we are still the seme." And that goes without saying.
And realization hit Tsuna. "Aaaah! I remember now."
"What's wrong, Tsu?"
"Earlier when I saw those girls chasing Gokudera like crazy, I feel like seeing it somewhere before. It wast just like last year. I should have realize it sooner."
"Realize what?" Their lover's act make them worry.
"Today is a Valentine day and I didn't have anything for you two!"
Tsuna slump on his bed when Mukuro and Hibari hold their laugh. Their boyfriend are sure adorable, or should they call him fiance now?
"You don't have to, Tsu. You gave us the best gift ever."
"And as a gift from us, we promised to make you the happiest husband in the world."
The way Mukuro say it makes Tsuna giggle. He gave them another kiss, this one is hotter than before. "I love you Kyoya, Mukuro."
Fiuh, finally it's done. I really work hard on this one. I hope you like it guys. ^^
Happy Valentine days!
