I got a request! "Tsuna, Byakuran, and Marshmallows." This was the result. It came out a little…different then I had planned ^^U. Also I jump between the Tsuna we know and Boss Tsuna. Most of the time it's Boss Tsuna, but sometimes I jump back. I'm sorry if I confuse anyone.

O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O

Friendship

Tsuna was plotting.

Everyone in his family knew it.

They just didn't know what he was plotting, not even his Guardians or- surprisingly- Reborn. He was planning something exciting though. They could tell from the bright happy gleam in his eyes.

They knew the day of the surprise had come when he gathered all his Guardians together, brought in Reborn, and then sat patiently in a chair to wait.

"Tenth?"

"Tsuna what are we doing here?"

It was rare for everyone to be together this late. Usually they were going on missions or coming back from missions and crashing.

"Not everyone is here."

The guardians and Reborn shared a look as they turned back to Tsuna. They didn't have time to ask who they were waiting on as the door opened and Kyoko, Hana, Haru, Bianchi, Fuuta, and I-Pin came inside.

"Tsuna-kun? Where are we going?" Kyoko, Haru and Hana had been brought into the fold after getting caught up in one of Tsuna's many crazy incidents. Hana actually ended up being a Vongola Lawyer, while Kyoko and Haru worked at the Vongola Orphanage and also helped with Clean Up.

"It's a surprise. I need you all to trust me."

If there was one thing that they all did, it was trust Tsuna. He had proven again and again he would stand and take a hit for them, that he was trustworthy…so they nodded slowly.

Tsuna lead everyone to a large car and ushered them inside. The windows were blacked out so they had no idea where they were going as Tsuna headed up towards the front and slipped into the driver's seat.

Everyone was curious about what Tsuna was planning and how he managed to hide it as they piled inside.

Tsuna drove towards a Cliffside overlooking the ocean and he pulled to a stop just as the sky was beginning to turn truly dark.

The moment he stopped and shut the car off the doors were opened as everyone pilled out and turned to face the cliff where Tsuna was standing facing them.

Tsuna smiled at all of them "Happy Fourteenth Friendship Anniversary. Thank you for putting up with Midnight wakeup calls to bail Hibari or Mukuro out of jail. Thank you for putting up with being woken up at two or three in the morning because someone needs to leave for a mission, thank you for putting up with the shootouts and thanks for not panicking completely when one of us comes back bleeding from a wound the size of Seattle and insisting it's fine, it's just a flesh wound. Thank you for knocking us out so we can be dragged into the Infirmary to heal said wound. Thank you for being there through everything- all of you- for putting up with the insanity that is this life and knocking sense into each other when we really need to hear it. Thank you for just…being there, for coming back home."

And just as Tsuna had planned, right as he finished his mini-speech, behind him the sky lit up with the first of the multi colored fireworks.

Marshmallows

Tsuna actually had a bit of a…fear…of marshmallows. Well…not a fear exactly…more of a dislike. A very strong dislike.

He hated them.

It wasn't because he was allergic to them or something, no, they just…reminded him of that man.

And Tsuna really didn't like that man.

He had some…bad memories associated with marshmallows.

He hadn't even realized he had any issues until I-Pin had brought a bag out of the kitchen- Tsuna hadn't known they had any- and set them on the table so anyone could get some during the movie they had been watching.

He had seen them and slipped into a very vivid flashback of the Future That Never Was.

Thankfully Reborn had been there, and he had recognized the signs of a flashback in time to get the kids out of the living room with the sharp command of "Stay Here" before he had come back in time to see his student taking the Marshmallows outside where he proceeded to get himself into Hyper Dying Will Mode and X-Burner the marshmallows into ash one at a time with sharp focused eyes.

Reborn could only hear a few words as listened to his student mutter. "Stupid Byakuran…Future…Die…Fire… Marshmallows EVERYWHERE…Never see…too soon…burn."

He had let his student vent and when the fires had faded and he turned to head back inside and he spotted Reborn standing there Tsuna had looked at him with still-orange sharp eyes and told him "Don't let Mama buy Marshmallows again."

Reborn had looked back at the singed area his student had created and nodded once "Ok Dame-Tsuna."

And they had walked back inside where Reborn brought the kids back and Tsuna told them "The marshmallows were bad, so I threw them out, but we can have some of my candy stash and make popcorn."

The kids had agreed and Tsuna had made the popcorn before grabbing a bag of candy from the stash he kept to keep Lambo calm and indulge the sweet tooth he had- Reborn had one too, but Tsuna pretended not to notice when all the coffee flavored candy disappeared and always replaced it.

Reborn made sure they never had marshmallows in the house again, not even when Tsuna finally became Vongola Decimo.

Father

When Tsuna was little he wanted his father's attention. He wanted his Papa to come home, to stay home. He wanted him to stay there with Mama and himself.

As he grew he wanted more.

He wanted to be able to go to his father for advice, for comfort, for affection. He wanted to go to his father for all the things he couldn't go to his mother for, he wanted his father to walk up and bap him in the back of his head and tell him 'you're being an idiot, grow a pair and just do it or deal' when he was scared he wanted his father to tell him it's ok and help him face those fears.

That never really happened and Tsuna had rejected Iemitsu Sawada as his father.

Eventually Reborn came into Tsuna's life.

Reborn terrified Tsuna at first, not because he was the hit man, but because he changed everything.

He changed Tsuna himself. He changed the people around Tsuna. He changed everything Tsuna thought he knew about himself, the world, and his family.

Tsuna supposed he began to see Reborn as a father when Reborn didn't leave Tsuna floundering with all the changes. When Reborn patiently- violently yes, but patiently- began to coach Tsuna through the changes.

Then Tsuna realized he could go to Reborn for advice. And he realized in his own way Reborn offered comfort and affection, even if it was violent in nature. He realized Reborn was perfectly willing to hit him over the head with a Leon-Mallet when he was being an idiot and tell him so, that he was willing to coach Tsuna through all his problems, and help Tsuna face his fears- even if Reborn had a tendency to throw him kicking and screaming into those fears- and conquer them. He realized Reborn did all the things Tsuna wanted his father to do and more.

Father Part 2

There came a time where Tsuna had to choose an Internal Advisor that would stand at his Left and whisper advice about all things.

Iemitsu Sawada expected that Internal Advisor to be himself, after all he was Tsuna's Father…and whose word could you trust more than your own Father's?

It was for this reason that he was absolutely floored when Tsuna looked at him confused and told him firmly "You are not going to be my Internal Advisor."

His Guardians and Reborn- the only people there to witness the flat statement- were shocked too. They all knew Tsuna hated Iemitsu, but they had expected him to choose Iemitsu as his Internal Advisor not only because he was Tsuna's father but because he had a long time to experience the Mafia World and would not steer Tsuna wrong.

Iemitsu had argued for hours with Tsuna about his decision getting angrier and angrier as Tsuna continuously told him "Absolutely not."

Eventually Iemitsu had snapped and yelled "I AM YOUR FATHER! Who else would you trust this job to?! Who else can you claim as trustworthy and willing to guide you through your years as the Decimo?! To be there with you when you make decisions that will affect the entire Vongola Family?!"

The entire room had dropped in temperature as the Guardians and Reborn watched Tsuna lower his head to shield his eyes with his hair. Each Guardian had a tightening grip on their weapon as they fought their emotions, and Reborn tightened his grip on Leon as he fought not to step between Iemitsu and Tsuna and shoot Iemitsu in the head.

The only thing that stopped Reborn and the Guardians from moving was they recognized the signs that Tsuna had passed angry and was now furious.

Iemitsu- who hadn't been there for his son enough to know the signs- missed them completely and took the lowering of his son's head as surrender. "As you can see I am your only choice and you-!"

Tsuna's head snapped up to pin Iemitsu with furiously burning sunset orange eyes that made Iemitsu stop talking. Then the aura had been unleashed from its tight control and Iemitsu was floored a second time as he found himself simultaneously straitening under the aura like he would under the Ninth's 'You've crossed a line and now you've made me very angry' aura and having issues breathing as the aura pressed against him. He found himself thinking "When did Tsuna get so powerful?!"

"With all due respect- which isn't much mind you- I do not find you 100% trustworthy. Especially in anything regarding guidance. You were never there when I was younger. You were not there for my fist words, for my first steps. You were not there when I was frightened or when Mama cried because you missed a Birthday, Anniversary, or Holiday again. You were not there when I needed you help regarding fears, advice, comfort, or just for a kick to the head."

Tsuna's eyes glowed with his fury as he verbally tore apart his biological father. "You. Were. Not. There. Not for anything important. How can I trust you to be here now when I need you? How can I trust you to guide me correctly through anything when you could not guide me through my life? I do not trust you to do this. The first time I saw you in years was shortly after you had given us rings and informed us 'since I gave you those rings you'll be targeted by assassins. Train hard!'"

Briefly his eyes shifted to pin Reborn, who found himself flattered and floored by Tsuna's next words even if he didn't show it beyond a slight widening of the eyes. "I do trust the man that was there through the most insane part of my life to guide me through this Mafia Business. I trust the man that was there to guide me through the changes happening to my life. I trust the man who gave me the ability and confidence to make friends. I trust the man who taught me everything I needed to survive not only the Mafia, but some of life's most important lessons. I trust the person who was there with my when I was scared, when I was hurt, when I needed him. I trust the person who wasn't afraid to tell me I was being and idiot and then stayed there to patiently show me how not to be. I trust the man that taught me the meaning of family. I trust the man who acted as a father in every way that mattered where you failed. You will not be my Internal Advisor. Reborn will be taking that honor if he is willing to agree."

Reborn had honestly never been more proud of Tsuna then in that moment as he stepped forward and removed his hat, placing it over his heart and bowing his head as he told him "I spent a long time preparing you for this job Decimo. I will be honored to stand at your side and guide you through your reign as well."

Tsuna had bowed his head to Reborn in return before pinning Iemitsu with blazing eyes and hissing "Now get out."

Iemitsu had finally snapped out his shock and was opening his mouth to verbally snap back at son when his Guardians and Reborn closed ranks around him blocking him from view and interrupted his rant before it could begin.

"Kufufu…Tsunayoshi-kun told you to leave." A trident materialized in Mukuro's hand as he pinned Iemitsu with silently angry eyes.

"The Omnivore gave you an order Herbivore. Leave or I will bite you to death."

"The Decimo told you to leave Iemitsu. Leave, and send Basil or Lal in you place from here on." Reborn stepped forward with the others and herded an angry shocked Iemitsu out of the Vongola mansion telling security to keep him out from here on unless told otherwise by the Decimo, his Guardians, or Reborn.

Son

Reborn didn't have a son.

He had wanted one, but he never found a woman worthy of giving him one. Most women were either trying to get his money, get into his pants, kill him, or just wanted bragging rights.

Reborn would never allow a woman like that to bare him a child.

Then he walked into Tsunayoshi Sawada's life.

As Reborn worked with Tsuna he found himself thinking that Tsuna was everything he wanted in a son. Hard working, loyal, protective, determined, adaptable, a person that fought only when he needed to and didn't go looking for problems.

As more time passed Reborn found himself filling in all the roles a Father should take in Tsuna's life and in he began viewing Tsuna as the son he never had.

He found himself experiencing all the emotions a father would as he guided Tsuna.

Pride.

Worry.

Love.

Amusement.

Annoyance.

Forgiveness.

Fear.

Sadness.

Joy.

He felt it all.

Reborn found the son he had been looking for when he finally stopped looking.

He was pretty sure he couldn't have gotten a better one.
