I don't own, and sadly, never will
Hobby Day
Takeshi led his father outside happily, holding a bat and a baseball. "Hehe, it's a good thing that school was canceled because of that gas leak, huh?"
Asari nodded. "Yeah, it's been a while since we've been able to play with each other like this, right?"
Takeshi nodded. "Hahaha, let's play baseball!"
The boy passed his father the baseball cheerfully and smiled to level s that would have Ryohei screaming 'EXTREME SMILE!'.
Asari held the ball awkwardly. "So, I throw it to you and you hit it with that bat?"
"Yup!" Takeshi cheered out happily.
Asari smiled. "I don't really understand, but it sounds like fun!"
The ball was thrown with shocking accuracy from practice with throwing short swords and Takeshi hit the ball with such fierce skill and raw talent that it was frightening; the powerful swing an advantage to being a sword wielder.
Asari watched the ball as it flew a great distance past the woods next to Vongola Mansion. Asari smiled and laughed. "Haha, that was fun and refreshing, just like you said, Takeshi!"
"See?" Takeshi smiled, his father walking up to him and patting his head good-naturedly. "Let's go get that ball!"
Asari smiled. "Alright, and after, I can teach you a bit about the flute!"
Takeshi smiled. "Haha, sound's great Oyaji!"
About two hours later:
"Ah, do you see it yet, Takeshi?" Asari called out, looking for the ball. "Looking back, I suppose we should have just bought another ball; I mean it's not like the Vongola doesn't have the money for it…"
Takeshi nodded before yawning. "Oyaji~ I'm kinda sleepy now…"
Asari picked up Takeshi and moved him so he was sitting on his shoulders. Takeshi gripped Asari's head lightly as not to fall. "Hm, now that I think about it, I guess it is time for your nap, huh?"
Takeshi mumbled incoherently in response, sleepy shojo bubbles emerging from the boy.
Asari nodded and walked towards the edge of the woods with Takeshi on his back. "Ah, it looks like we went all the way past the woods. Maybe we should go back…"
"Stop!" a uniformed man shouted out. "Who are you and what are you doing here? This is military grounds!"
…Vongola HQ is that close to the military? Asari wondered But then again, Alaude was a former detective that had good connections and Daemon's old man is a high up, after all.
"Oh really?" Asari asked. "Hahaha, I'm sorry, but I was just playing with my son see? I'm Asari, the Vongola's Rain Guardian."
The guard scoffed. "Do you know how many 'Vongola' come out through those woods every day?" The man made air quotes when saying 'Vongola'. "Do you know that you can be arrested for just standing on this land?"
Asari froze. "No, we really did just come looking for a baseball!"
"Let me get this straight," the guard said skeptically, "You came out of the surrounding woods into military territory where there's nothing but forest in a surrounding 100 meter radius, looking for a baseball?"
Asari nodded.
"And you expect me to believe you?"
Once again, Asari nodded.
"Do you take me for an idiot?" The guard asked.
Asari gave a half-nod before correcting himself and shaking his head. "No." Yes.
Asari gave a jolt. "Oh, I have my Vongola Ring!"
The guard watched as Asari stuck his hand out to the guard. "Really, Asari," the guard laughed. "Are all the Vongola Rings invisible?"
Asari looked down at his hand and nearly dry wretched. He left his ring in the mansion!
"Come with me. You're under arrest."
Asari sighed and walked behind the man. Takeshi stirred. "U-Uhn… Oyaji? What's goin' on?"
"Hahaha, Takeshi," Asari started. "Your Oyaji's getting arrested. You have to wait with the nice men until Uncle Giotto comes to bail me out."
Three Hours Later:
Takeshi blew into the flute and moved his fingers how Oyaji taught him. Asari smiled approvingly. "Good job Takeshi, you're a really fast learner!"
Takeshi smiled. "Hehe, Oyaji, is it normal when they arrest you to put you in these cages?"
Asari smiled. "Yeah, you learn to get used to it."
Giotto entered the cell. "Asari. What did you do? This is normally with Alaude or Daemon or even G, but never you. What the hell happened?"
"Hey!" G cried indignantly from behind the blonde.
Asari smiled. "Hahaha! Takeshi was teaching me how to play baseball!"
G facepalmed. "You are in a holding cell for baseball?"
"Yup, I guess we hit the ball to hard, right Takeshi? But don't worry, we'll tone it down next time, right?"
Takeshi nodded. "Yeah! Next time we'll take it a bit less intense!"
Both G and Giotto had to slap themselves at the Rain's cheerful faces.
"Hahaha, we had a lot of fun waiting for you two to come here too! Takeshi is almost as talented with the flute as he is with the sword! That's my boy!"
"And you were really good at throwing the baseball even though it was only your first time, Oyaji!"
"Thanks, Takeshi—"
Giotto threw the cell door close.
Asari sputtered through the bars at the Don who was currently talking to the guard with his flame activated. "Oi, you don't mind keeping these two in custody for a couple more hours right?"
Did the guard have a choice when asked by a Mafia Don with Hyper Dying Will Flames?
"Giotto!" Asari cried out. "Come on, let me and Takeshi out!"
"So can you?" G asked irritably, both him and Giotto ignoring Asari's cries. The guard blinked before nodding dumbly.
"That's good." Giotto said, walking away, G in tow.
"GIOTTO!" Asari cried out to no avail. The boss stopped at the door, turned and looked Asari in the eye.
"Next time, Asari," Giotto said, "Don't get so carried away with your hobbies."
Asari cried. "I won't Giotto! I won't!"
"Bye-bye, Uncle Giotto!" Takeshi called out, unaware of his father's panic.
"We'll come to pick them up later." G told the guard with a pat.
"GIOTTO!" Asari wailed.
Next time they play baseball, Asari vowed, it would be in the training room underground the Vongola HQ.
But for now, Asari would teach Takeshi how to play the flute while in a holding cell.
Oh, the life of a Vongola.
