SkyGem: So sorry I haven't update this lately, y'all! Hope you enjoy this chapter, though!

P.S. Yet another huge time skip in. Tsuna is now graduation high school.

His Father…Graduation

"Ow! G! What the hell was that for?" exclaimed a certain blond ghost, rubbing the sore spot on his head from where his supposed best friend had just smacked him.

"Will you just shut the hell up?" asked the aforementioned best friend. "Your fangirl squealing is making it hard to hear."

"But G~!" whined Giotto, "Our little boys are graduating high school! How do you expect me not to be excited? It's one of the proudest days of my life!"

Smirking a little, G asked, "Prouder than when we created the Vongola?"

"Yes!" was Giotto's immediate reply.

G raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised at the complete lack of hesitation; but then again, he really should have seen it coming. Giotto had always cared for Tsuna just as much as he'd cared for his own blood son when he'd been alive, and the blond had done pretty much the exact same thing when Yoshimune had decided he wanted to further his education.

"Whatever," said the redhead. "Anyways, I'm not telling you to not be excited. Just stop trying to pierce my eardrums! Now shut up! Hayato is about to make his speech!"

And at this, even Giotto had to shut up.

At Nami High, as with most schools, the student with the highest grades had been chosen as valedictorian and, as was to be expected, that person had been one Gokudera Hayato.

Of course, the silveret had at first, refused the honour, insisting that it go to his beloved Juudaime, but he had, thankfully, been convinced otherwise by said Juudaime.

And now, as the silveret made his way onto the stage to give his speech, he had a calm expression on, but Giotto and G, as skilled as they were, could immediately tell that he was nervous.

G, worried for his son, immediately made his way to the front of the crowd, catching his son's attention.

"Hayato!" he called, and once the silveret's eyes were on him, he told him, "Just look at me! Pretend that it's just us!"

And that's exactly what he did.

Hayato stared into his father's eyes the whole time, delivering the speech to him, pretending that he was at home and practicing with his father instead of on a stage in front of hundreds of people.

Hayato talked about how this wasn't an end, but the beginning of the rest of their lives; he talked about how every single one of them were intelligent and clever in their own way, and how they were all going to go far in their lives.

The boy was barely two minutes in before G realized that there was no way that he could have written such a meaningful speech, and that Tsuna must have definitely helped Hayato write it.

So later that day, when all the celebrating was done and over with, G made sure to give Tsuna an extra long hug, whispering into the boy's ear, "Thank you so much for always helping my Hayato like you have."

"No problem," was Tsuna's reply as he hugged his surrogate uncle tighter for just a second before letting go.

The brunet opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could, Giotto came barreling towards them out of nowhere and hugged Tsuna tight around the shoulders.

"My cute little Tsu-chan!" he cooed. "I can't believe you've already graduated! I'm starting to feel so old!"

There was a moment of silence after he had said this before Tsuna replied with, "You're four-hundred-years-old, you old geezer. Of course you're gonna feel old."

Giotto's eyes widened at this, and he looked almost tearful, saying, "Wah! How could my cute little tuna fishie say that to me?"

And this time, it was G the replied, saying, "You know, if we weren't both ghosts, I would swear that you were drunk right about now.

SkyGem: Ehe, so, not much said in this chapter, and I'm sorry. It's probably boring…but I had a little trouble with writer's block while I was writing this. Either way, please do leave a review and let me know what you thought, ne? Ciao!
