Me: Due to the request of a reader I shall cut short the author's corner!
Giotto: no comment...
Tsuna: ... Kim-chan does not own KHR...
Me: On with the story!
"Giotto nii-san, what are you doing?" a small brunette with huge caramel orbs and cherry blossom lips asked innocently as he struggled to get onto the couch, failing miserably.
"Hnn... I'm reading a manga..." the reply came from a blonde with spiky hair very similar to the brunette's, save the hair color.
"Hmmm... is it good?" the four-year old tilted his head cutely as the blonde chuckled and lifted the child to place him next to his currently closed book.
"Hnn... not exactly but G wanted me to read this before he moved..." The brunette frowned and took the book that sat next to the older of the pair. He was just about to read it when the eleven year old snatched it away, "Tsuna, you really wouldn't want to read this..." the blonde sweatdropped as he placed the book on the highest shelf where the four year old couldn't reach it.
"Why?" The four year old pouted adorably as Giotto beckoned for him to lie on his lap, indicating it was time for his afternoon nap. Giotto refused to tell Tsuna the answer and soon the toddler gave up and crawled onto Giotto's lap, curling himself into a ball like a cat. "One day, I'll definitely get an answer out of you, Giotto nii-san..." the toddler said determinedly as he drifted off to sleep.
When the toddler was asleep, Giotto started to play with the brunette's hair for a while. "Oh, I'm sure you will Tsuna..." the blonde smiled and started to read his doujinshi again before putting it back on the bookshelf and drifting off to sleep too.
One hour later, Giotto was awoken by the sound of Tsuna's cry, the said toddler was having a nightmare and from the looks of it, it wasn't a minor one. "Tsuna! Tsuna, wake up!" the blonde shook the toddler violently, in hopes of him opening is eyes but to no avail. "Tsuna, please! Please stop scaring me, please wake up!" Giotto embraced the wailing toddler whose crying started to cease.
Tsuna opened his eyes slowly "Giotto nii-san...?" he croaked earning the attention of his childhood lover.
"Tsuna! Thank goodness you're alright..." Giotto breathed as he caressed the four year old's cheek. Tsuna enjoyed the smooth texture of Giotto's hands on his cheek and prevented Giotto from pulling away by holding his cold hand in place, Giotto blushed slightly at this gesture but smiled anyway, glad that his childhood liver was alright.
"I think I just got a bad dream..." Tsuna smiled as Giotto used his thumb to trace the tear stains rubbing them off his face. "It was dark and I could hear mama and papa's voice... they sounded very scared... they were telling me to run as fast as I can, Giotto nii-san was there too but you were sleeping on a red blanket so I didn't want to bother you, two bad men in blank clothes were there too, they were smiling, it looked very creepy so I ran away, they started chasing me and-" Giotto silenced the four year old by pulling him into his embrace once again.
"Shh... it's okay... you don't have to tell me..." Giotto whispered as he absent-mindedly stroked Tsuna's soft hair. After a good five minutes, Giotto decided to have omelet rice for dinner, much to Tsuna's delight and soon, the nightmare was long forgotten until Tsuna turned five and Giotto had to leave him.
"Giotto nii-san..." Tsuna murmured as Giotto replaced the now-warm cloth on his forehead with a cold one. Giotto smiled and caressed Tsuna's cheek ever so gently before interwinding his hand with Tsuna's moderately small one.
"Tsuna, I love you..." Giotto whispered as the brunette smiled gently in his sleep, indicating that he was having a dream. A few hours earlier, Tsuna had collasped after a battle with Aluade and Giotto freaked out thinking his cloud guardian had injured his beloved childhood lover. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor concluded that Tsuna was having a high fever and since he hadn't had one since he was tiny, the fever was slightly more severe than norma thus resulting to him in passing out.
"Seriously, Giotto you should have said that this boy was your childhood lover not your son gozaru," a raven haired man laughed as Giotto came out of Tsuna's room.
"Asari... you didn't even give me time to explain..." Giotto pinched both sides of his forehead as his rain guardian laughed nervously.
"I ULTIMATELY don't understand!" a tanned man shouted as he punch his fist in the air. "Asari, do you?" Asari smiled and explained what had happened to the clueless sun guardian. "OoH! I ultimately understand now! He seems strong I'll see if Ryouhei wants him in his boxing club!" And with that said the priest went off in search of his phone which he had misplaced somewhere in the mansion.
"G, is he back yet?" Giotto turned to Asari who smiled and nodded.
"Yes, he is sleeping in his room gozaru..." Asari's smile faltered as he recalled the wounds on the storm guardian's body, "He seems to have injured himself on the mission gozaru..." Giotto smiled as Asari excused himself to look for the storm guardian a.k.a his lover (A/N: I know... I'm starting to make alot of yaoi...)
"Giotto... is this kid in the guestroom related to the Bovino 'Family'?" a green haired teen asked as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.
Giotto smiled and said, "Yes Lampo, I'm sure Lambo would be thrilled to see you again once Tsuna gets better..." with that said Giotto returned into the guestroom leaving a very happy Lampo outside the hallways.
Giotto entered the room once more and found the brunette standing on the balcony. A somewhat gentle wind caressed Tsuna's body causing the night shirt he was wearing to dance a waltz in the wind, his untamed brown hair whipped around like a blaze of fire. Giotto felt blood rush up to his nose and he covered it to prevent the blood from drooling out, "Is seeing someone of the same gender and feeling them to be beautiful, ordinary?" Giotto questioned himself as Tsuna continued to stare out of the window absent-mindedly.
When Tsuna turned around and found Giotto standing there gawking at him, Tsuna gave him a small smile and Giotto could see a slight pink taint his creamy white face. Giotto couldn't control himself any longer, Tsuna looked so vulnerable and beautiful that its's already a wonder Giotto hadn't lost his self control the minute he stepped into the room. Giotto locked the door and strode quickly towards Tsuna, Azura blue orbs locked in contact with Caramel brown ones, Giotto grabbed Tsuna's wrists and gently pushed him onto the king-sized bed, careful not to hurt the brunette, so that he was now hovering above Tsuna.
"Tsuna, I can't control myself any longer, please let me make love with you?" Giotto silently pleaded as Tsuna stared at him in confusion, Giotto stared back silently waiting for an answer, Tsuna blushed furiously but kept his composure and nodded happily. Giotto didn't need to be told twice as he crashed his pale pink lips onto Tsuna's soft cherry-blossom colored ones.
