81. Cuddle
Tsuna relaxed as he embraced Kyoko closer to his body. Her warmth invited him closer and closer. She leaned her head on his shoulder and he pulled her softly towards him.
This was nice.
It was nice having all of this. Tsuna couldn't imagine anything more surreal than a welcomed touch that wanted to pull you in tighter. She knew him and enjoyed finding comfort in his own arms. Despite the simplicity of the action, he could feel happiness seeping through his heart.
He leaned back on the sofa to better nestle Kyoko's body to his. Tenderly, he brushed his own cheek against hers. Her light giggles brought a playfully smile on his lips.
The two sat in their own little blissful world as the others mingled about, his guardians already accustomed to this behavior.
82. Gazing into each other's eyes
Kyoko always found it easy to be mesmerized by her boyfriend's eyes. For a lack of a better word, there was a fire in them. Most said that Tsuna lacked will, but she never bought that. There was always a spark that was just waiting to ignite.
She held his cheeks in her hands and dreamily gazed into his eyes. The passion in his eyes caused her face to flush and her heart to flutter pleasurably. All that strength and ambition it was intoxicatingly attractive.
She pressed her finger against his lips before he could speak.
She smiled impishly, "Settle down and let me enjoy this."
83. Helping out with a job/chore
Kyoko and Hana had clean up duties after school. Tsuna had stayed behind and was helping with moving some of the supply boxes. He lifted three textbook filled boxes with ease.
Hana watched in surprise, "I can't believe he can lift all that with that small looking body of his."
Kyoko began smiling in such a manner that unnerved Hana. "Tsuna has a lot of single friends if you like to stare," she attempted to look nonchalant.
Hana was not deceived. "For the last time, I don't need a hook up." She shuddered at the notion of Kyoko playing matchmaker. While she would admit that whatever Kyoko had with Sawada seemed to be working, she was convinced it was a fluke.
Kyoko didn't appear deterred. Now that she thought about, Hana and her brother would be so cute together.
And if her best friend became her sister-in-law, well that would be a pleasant coincidence.
84. Card game
Tsuna was sweating heavily. Everyone was playing a game of Mafia cards. Should he win, he would receive a reprieve from Reborn's training.
He had to win.
He licked his lips as he tried to read through Kyoko. She was wearing that cheerful smile of hers and he wasn't getting anything out of them.
"Aren't you going to make your move, sweetie?" she questioned innocently.
Looking at his cards, he began his move. Well he had been before he felt a sensation running up his leg.
It was Kyoko's foot. She rubbed small circles up his legs until she reached his inner thigh. Tsuna had to fight down a flush and warily looked in Kyoko's eyes.
She was still smiling innocently.
Tsuna hand became unsteady as some cards fell out of his hand.
Lambo laughed arrogantly, "Loser Tsuna is losing."
"Shut up your stupid cow! The Tenth is just getting lost in his lover's eyes. A brat like you wouldn't understand," Gokudera roared.
Yamamoto joined in, "Looks like Kyoko knows how to make Tsuna putty in her hands."
Reborn snorted, "It is a mafia boss' job to seduce, not be seduced. Why do I have such a useless student?"
Tsuna wanted to punch all of them.
85. Showering Together
Kyoko turned off the showerhead and walked out of the girls' shower. A few moments afterwards Chrome followed suit. After some greetings between the two, they moved to the changing areas and began dressing.
Kyoko stole glances at Chrome as she bit her lips nervously, "Chrome, I want to learn some self-defense."
Chrome looked at her and spoke softly, "I don't think you need it."
Kyoko didn't back down, "I just don't want to be a burden to Tsuna or you. I know Tsuna has probably told you to protect me. Wouldn't it be easier if I could fight?"
Chrome shook her head, "Any kind of fighting that would be useful against Boss' enemies would require much more time and dedication then you have at the moment. Besides, they are other strengths."
"I see. Sorry for wasting your time." Kyoko made her move to leave.
Chrome held her shoulder causing Kyoko to stop. "You aren't a burden to anyone, especially not to Boss. He really cares for you and just doesn't want your dreams to die for his sake. I will never see you as anything less than a valued friend. And... if you really feel the need to learn self defense, I can try to teach you about flames."
Kyoko embraced Chrome, "Thank you. I'll do my best. I see why Tsuna trusts someone as reliable as you."
Chrome blushed.
86. Your head on my shoulder
Tsuna clenched his teeth in frustration and spoke with barely contained contempt, "Nothing that man does makes sense. All he had to do was work with me a bit. The only time he shows up is to mock me and stand in my way!"
Kyoko nodded with a smile, "My dad can be difficult too."
Tsuna sighed and leaned back into his seat, "That's different. At least your dad is there. He obviously loves your mom and you."
Kyoko's smile dimmed as she rose and pulled him into a hug. She rubbed his back and whispered softly, "I'm sorry you don't get along with your dad."
"It's fine. It's not your fault," there was raw emotion in Tsuna's voice, most of it bitterness. "I didn't need him then and I don't need him now."
Kyoko frowned as Tsuna raged against his own father.
It was painful to see him like this.
87. Sit in my lap
"Am I playing right?" Kyoko questioned Tsuna as she narrowed her eyes at the TV screen.
Tsuna was helping her play competitively on a multiplayer game. He felt that he would be a lot more help if she wasn't distracting him.
Kyoko leaned back in her position on his lap.
Tsuna furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to concentrate.
Kyoko smirked and began to roughly shift in his lap. She began counting down in her head.
"Kyoko!"
"I knew it. What's wrong Tsuna, feeling hot and bothered?" She slid off his lap and pushed him down, "Forget the videogames, why don't we have our own fun~?" Her voice was barely above a growl. She then pounced him.
88. Teasing
Tsuna and Kyoko sat across from each other at a cafe. He attempted to keep calm from her rubbing her feet up and down his legs.
"Tsuna?"
"Yes, Kyoko?" he questioned with more calm than he actually felt. Her legs were beginning to stroke higher and higher.
"What do you like the most about me?" She rose her eyebrows playfully, "Come on, you can tell me~. Is it the chest or maybe the hips? I know, are you a legs man?"
"Your laughter," he spoke seriously, his eyes locked firmly to hers. "What I like the most about you is your laughter and joy of life." He reached out and caressed her cheeks, "You being so beautiful is a bonus."
Kyoko blushed prettily.
"I didn't think you can feel embarrassment at this point," he cheekily brought up.
Kyoko huffed playfully, "Excuse me for being touched."
He chuckled before adding, "Now about your feet-"
"No," she stated, "they're my feet and I can do whatever I want with them."
89. Tsundere
Tsuna couldn't really believe what he was seeing. It wasn't unusual for Kyoko to demonstrate some dance for him.
Today she was dressed in a purple bedlah and engaging in a belly dance. She was pulling some very impressive gestures with her stomach. It was too enticing for him.
But he dared not admit it. Whenever he got into these situations, it was best to play it cool. The teasing that Kyoko would go into was always a hassle.
"Tsuna," her voice whispered softly in his ears causing a shiver to run through his spine. "Having a good time?"
Swallowing thickly he shook his head unconvincingly.
She took his hand and slowly ran his hand down her bare stomach, "Don't be shy. It's fine if you're hot and bothered." Her eyes were alight with mischief. She was slowly running Tsuna's hand higher and higher up her body.
Tsuna had a feeling that he was going to lose this game of hers.
90. Kink
"Nana, your son is just a dear," Mrs. Sasagawa said amiably.
"Thank you. It's a relief that he's made such a good impression," Tsuna's mother responded with a laugh. "We should've had dinner together sooner!"
"Oh, I agree. I had been worried that little Kyoko wouldn't find a suitable young man. I can rest easy now. You raised such a sweetie."
Tsuna's mom flushed happily, "You flatter us."
Tsuna found the mothers' conversation to be refreshingly normal. The dads' on the other hand were getting out of control.
"My wife is the greatest," his dad roared in Mr. Sasagawa's face.
"Your wife obviously has her charms, but you are mistaken. Sweetie is clearly the greatest woman of all time, "Mr. Sasagawa responded with equal vigor.
"You're deluded. Although it's understandable, you've never had the honor to see darling in a glorious nurse outfit. It'll make every illness and injury worth it!"
Mr. Sasagawa snorted, "Keep dreaming. I pity you when you see my wife in a swimsuit, then you'll truly know beauty. I don't see how such a sensible kid like Tsuna has a father like you. Besides a nurse outfit is of a lower quality in comparison to a swimsuit."
Tsuna saw his father's nostrils flare as he turned towards him, "Tsuna tell this fool the greatness of the nurse kink."
He could only sputter as his father demands. This was not a conversation he wanted to have with his father, ever.
"Yeah Tsuna," Kyoko added unhelpfully, "Tell him how great a nurse kink is. Don't spare any details."
"Kyoko," Tsuna whined embarrassedly.
Mr. Sasagawa guffawed. "You're so ignorant. You son is clearly a maid kind of guy."
"I can second that, dad," Kyoko once again felt the need to add.
Tsuna wanted the ground to swallow him up.
"Cheer up, it's not that bad," she added in between giggles.
"It nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has their particular interests," Mrs. Sasagawa added softly, "I happen to know that little Kyoko here just loves her man dripping wet."
Kyoko face exploded hotly. "Mother," she hissed lowly. A few shy quick glances were shot at Tsuna's direction. When she noticed his bemused looks, she coughed, "Can you help me with something, Tsuna? It's just outside."
Tsuna was pulled away before he could respond. The sound of laughter erupted from behind them. Kyoko did not stop her pulling until they reached the porch.
"You can just ignore what you heard inside," she said with a flutter of her eyelashes.
Tsuna couldn't help but break into laughter.
She huffed indignantly, "I'm glad you're having a good time."
"With you, it's a given," he admitted happily.
Kyoko snorted before standing by his side and gazing at the stars. "It seems our parents like each other." She brushed her hand softly against him, carefully caressing each scar and callused surface. Her face scrunched up as she bit her lips and hesitated.
Tsuna gently took her hand in his and smiled softly at her questioning eyes. "Everything is fine, Kyoko. Don't worry."
"It's hard not to," she admitted softly before pulling closer towards him.
He embraced her with a single arm and softly kissed her temple, "I know. All I can ask is for you to try."
"How reliable," her words were playful but her tone was sincere. "Just be careful. Everything is just right and I want this to last a lifetime."
"You're the girl of my dreams, how could I do anything less? I want this to last a lifetime as well. I don't want to go back to life without you my cheery, fretting, wonderful girlfriend," he released his embrace and cupped her chin with his fingers and gazed lovingly into her eyes.
She giggled causing his to question her with a gaze. She collected herself and explained, "I remember a certain someone never liked looking me in the eyes. It would've been very frustrating if it hadn't been so adorable. There's a certain charm in having your partner be shy."
"Sorry for being so foolish," he began, "I see how much I wish missing before." His gaze lingered. It was intoxicating how inviting her eyes were. The mischief and confidence he never noticed before were there in abundance. He could scarcely believe that there was a time that her eyes doused his heart in anxiety and self doubt.
Kyoko's hands grasped his collar and pulled him into a deep kiss. Though surprised, he reciprocated her actions. They embraced one another enjoying the warmth and passion. She pressed her body against his and deepened the kiss.
When they finally pulled away from each other, she attempted to catch her breath. Face flushed, she whispered, "Now if only there was some water around."
Tsuna nearly chocked in surprise.
