DISCLAIMER: I do not own KHR.

I can't wait to see dad again tonight. Tsuna hums happily while doing his homework with Yamamoto and Gokudera in his room.

"Juuidaime, you seem to be in a very good mood today. Did something good happen?"

"Gokudera is right. You look more happy and motivated than usual."

"Is it? Well, partly because I get to meet him again today. But, mostly because Reborn has been too busy these two days to torture me." Tsuna smiled. A day without Reborn's spartan teaching is like a heaven to him.

"No wonder I didn't see Reborn-san lately. What is he busy with, Juudaime?"

"I'm not sure actually but I think he said something like finding some new members to join Vongola. I really wish he didn't pull any innocent people into our world again." Nor that I wish he pulls some weird people to join in either. Having to deal with my guardians is already so tiring. Tsuna sighed.

"Umm, Tsuna, when are you going to tell us about that person you meet? I have been curious about him for more than a year."

"I might tell you guys in the future but for now, it's a secret", said Tsuna while putting his finger on his own lips.

"Haha, not even a clue, Tsuna?"

"Nope."

"You baseball idiot. Stop pestering Juudaime about that matter. If he wants to keep that as a secret, let him be." Gokudera hits Yamamoto on his head using a textbook before turning to his beloved boss.

"But, still, Juudaime. If you plan to tell us, can I be the first person to know? I am your right hand man after all. Please…." Gokudera looks at Tsuna with sparkling emerald puppy eyes. Tsuna sweat drops. He can practically see Gokudera pops up a tail and wagging it around.

"Err, ok? It's not really a big secret though. Anyway, let's finish our homework fast, guys. Then, we can play the video games that I just bought last week together", said Tsuna as he tries to avoid them from asking further questions.

Actually, all of Tsuna's guardians are curious about the mysterious person that Tsuna met every three or four days. They know when Tsuna will meet the guy because he will be in a good mood the whole day no matter how bad or hectic the day goes. Reborn has been curious as well. He tried to force the answer out of Tsuna using all sorts of methods but Tsuna just won't tell him.

He doesn't even know where Tsuna meet that person or when they meet although he is with him almost 24/7. Mukuro suspected that they meet in an illusion just like how he and Chrome used to meet when his body is still trapped in the Vendice's water prison. So, he tried to intrude Tsuna's mind to prove his suspicion. Nevertheless, he failed since Tsuna somehow learnt how to block him from entering his dream after he toyed with his dream last time.

But, Reborn doesn't really mind about that matter. Whoever that person is, he definitely brings good influence on Tsuna. And he already has a rough idea of who that person is. He does have a great pride in his intuition although it is not as good as Tsuna's hyper intuition.

A blond haired man can be seen sitting by the riverside with both his hands hugging his knees. His orange eyes which are overshadowed by his bang carry a hint of sadness as he recalled a certain painful memory. But, he quickly hides his emotion away when he senses someone coming.

"Dad!" Tsuna tackles Giotto from behind causing him nearly kisses the ground due to the sudden weight behind him.

Giotto turns around and ruffles Tsuna's hair making it even messier than usual. "Come on, Tsuna. You are already 16 years old and yet you are still acting like a little 6 years old kid." Giotto smiled.

"But, you are enjoying this, aren't you? Besides, I am forever a child inside my heart. This is the only place and time I can let my inner self out freely without having killed by Reborn. And don't deny it, dad. You too act childish from time to time."

"Hahaha. You are right. So, how's your high school life going, Tsuna?" Actually, Giotto does know about Tsuna's daily life since he is staying inside the ring. But not everything, since he doesn't want to be called a stalker and more than half of the time, he just wanders off to somewhere else or sleeps.

"It just like usual. Not that much different from middle school except that there is more homework." As Tsuna continues to talk, he notices that Giotto doesn't really sounds like his usual self.

"Dad, is there something wrong? You….err, how to say….. err, you feels a little off today. Did something happen?"

"What? No. Nothing." Giotto immediately shakes his head.

"Don't lie, dad. I inherit this from you. I know when you are lying." Tsuna pointed his head using his right hand.

"You know, sometimes, I wish your hyper intuition is not as strong as mine. I can't hide anything from you." Giotto sighed. "Don't worry. Nothing bad happens. Just recall some memories. That's all."

Tsuna can see the sadness and regret that flicked through Giotto's eyes for a second. He immediately understands that the memory must be some sort of painful past. "If you say so, dad. I don't mind if you didn't tell me now, but please remember that I am here for you just like how you are always here for me. I willing to listen to you anytime you are ready to talk about it." Tsuna puts a reassuring hand on Giotto's shoulder.

"Somehow, it feels like our roles have reversed, Tsuna." Giotto chuckled.

Tsuna laughed back. Both of them then proceed to lie down on the soft grass while enjoying the peace and silent that follows.

As Tsuna continues to stare at the sky, he promptly recalls back how he and Giotto first met in this illusion/dream. It was the day after he defeated Byakuran in the future.

On the outside, Tsuna might look fine and happy because everything returned to normal when he defeated Byakuran. But, he was actually on the verge of breaking down emotionally. He blamed himself why he couldn't find any other way to defeat Byakuran without killing him. Yes, Byakuran killed many people including the arcobaleno. But, for Tsuna, a person's life is precious no matter how evil the person is. Who is he to end a person's life like this? He is just a normal teenager who happened to be the descendant of Vongola Primo and thus been chosen to become the Decimo. How can he returned Vongola to its original state and purposes if he can't even save those people that have fallen into darkness. And what's more important, he didn't want to disappoint Giotto and Nono.

As a result, Tsuna was having nightmares where he ended up killing countless people in the future and stained Vongola with blood. Reborn realised this but it was Giotto who took the first action. Giotto appeared in Tsuna's dream and made use of the sky flame's harmony factor to calm Tsuna down. He ensured Tsuna that the future Byakuran doesn't hate him for killing him. He also shared his experience and the story of the past every time he visited Tsuna.

Occasionally, both of them just lied down on the field or talked about random stuffs. Sometimes, the rest of the first generation guardians except for Daemon came and visited him along with Giotto. Alaude only visited him once though, and that was because he was forced by Giotto. The most frequent visitors among the guardians are of course Asari and G. Tsuna really enjoyed listen to Asari playing with his flute as it always managed to calm his mind and soul.

Eventually, Tsuna began to think of Giotto as his own father since he literally spent more time with Giotto compared to his biological father which led him started calling Giotto 'dad' instead of 'Giotto-san'. He wished he can hang out with Giotto everyday but it was impossible as the space/ illusionary world where he met Giotto consumed his flame which will tires him out if he did that every day. That's why he can only spend his time with his new father every three or four days.

When the Vongola rings were destroyed by the Simon famiglia, Tsuna was worried that he won't be able to see Giotto and the rest of the first generation guardians again. It turned out that Giotto and his guardians were safe. After all, the Vongola rings have the miracle of vertical space time axis. The wills that has been engraved into the Vongola rings will not be able to be destroyed by any means as long as time continues to flow and the rest of the Trinisette (the Mare rings and the pacifiers) remains in the world. The rings were just acting as mere medium for them to manifest themselves when they need to give trial to the next successor of the famiglia.

As Tsuna continues to reminisce about the past, he slowly drifts back to sleep and subconsciously exit the illusionary world.

A/N: About Mukuro toying with Tsuna's dream, I got the idea from the drama CD- Let's Meet in a Nightmare (just go to the wiki if you don't know). And according to wiki, Giotto's eyes are orange is colour even without in HDWM. (I refer to wiki a lot since it has been quite a long time since I read/watch khr).

I wonder what happened to the wills inside the rings when the rings are destroyed. Will those wills be destroyed too? How come the Trinisette is not affected? O.o

I just can't imagine Giotto acts seriously the whole time since I have been influenced by all those fanfic that I read. XD And I MIGHT make an omake about the first generation guardians visit Tsuna in the dream or the first time Tsuna called Giotto 'dad' once I have enough idea and time.
