Previously

Tsuna's room

After his talk with Giotto, Tsuna felt relieved of the feeling of emptiness he had.

Switching the light off, Tsuna got into bed and was ready to fall asleep. However, the closed his eyes, he noticed a dark figure in the corner of his room.

Terrified, Tsuna turned the lamp at his bedside on to see…

Present

Terrified, Tsuna turned the lamp at his bedside on to see, the future Vongola Secondo Ricardo.

Speechless, Tsuna stared at the man not knowing what to say. Well, what could he say, the Vongola Secondo was in his room staring at him without a shirt on.

Eyes bulging out of his skull Tsuna shouted ''Oh my god, you haven't got a shirt on!'' pausing for a second ''I can't believe I said that out loud.''

Ricardo looked at Tsuna ''Neither can I, figlio, a strange man is in your room and the first thing you notice is that he is shirtless. Although in fairness, that would be weird to anyone your age, you probably think I'm a pedo now, don't you?''

Tsuna looked at him ''If you want me to be honest, then yes, but you done give the 'I'm a pedophile' or 'I touch kids' vibe. So anyway, who are you? My name is Tsunayoshi, buy you can call me Tsuna.'' the brunette boy said, stretching out his hand for the man to shake.

Ricardo looked at Tsuna in awe ''The name's Ricardo. Not Ric, not Ricky, not Cary, not Cardo. Just Ricardo, got that, figlio.'' glaring at Tsuna while taking his hand and shaking it.

Tsuna giggled ''You make it sound as though you've been called those names before. Who was it? Giotto-san or Daemon? Although, with Daemon that would be most likely the case.''

''It was all of the Guardians who called me those pathetic nicknames. Apart for Alaude who doesn't acknowledge anyone's existence unless they piss him off or if they're you. I've seen you around the mansion with Giotto's Guardians and Giotto himself. I also saw that touching scene earlier today.'' Ricardo smirked at the last thing he said, as he watched Tsuna's face turn red.

Standing up, Tsuna walked over to the older man and grabbed him by the arm ''You know what Ricardo. That thing I said about you not having the 'I'm a pedophile' vibe. I take that statement back. Now if you'd excuse me I want to get some sleep. Goodnight.'' Tsuna said, as he pushed Ricardo out of his room.

Ricardo laughed and turned to Tsuna when he was pushed into the hallway ''You know, figlio, you are a lot more interesting than you seem. I'm longing forward to meeting around the mansion. Buonanotte, ragazzo carino.'' He smirked, as he walked into the shadowed of the hallway.

Tsuna looked confused 'I wonder what that meant?' (referring to what Ricardo said)

Next day

Tsuna was walking down the hall, when he saw Giotto walking towards him ''Good morning, Tsuna.'' Giotto smiled at Tsuna.

The small boy smiled back and replied ''Good morning, Giotto-san. How are you?''

''I'm fine and please no honorifics please. Giotto is fine.'' The said man replied.

Nodding with a laugh, Tsuna suddenly remembered what Ricardo said last night and wanted to know what it meant.

''By the way, Giotto, what does 'Buonanotte, ragazzo carino' mean?'' Tsuna asked, voice laced with curiosity.

Giotto looked at Tsuna, with a confused look ''It means 'Goodnight, cute boy'. Why do you ask? Did someone say that to you?'' the older man asked, starting to get concerned.

Tsuna smiled and laughed ''No, it's nothing. I was just wondering.'' Then he started to walk past Giotto.

'Great, I think I have another pedo going after me. I might as well be walking around bare naked with 'Be my guest' painted on my back.' Tsuna sighed, as he continued to walk down the hall.
