I tapped my pencil on my desk, sighing. I was bored. So very, very bored. I wasn't even in the mood to draw.

Throwing the pencil over my shoulder carelessly, I brought a tablet out from hammerspace and set it on the table. Time to surf the internet and see what it had to offer.

A few minutes later, something caught my eye and I raised an eyebrow. Then grinned when I clicked on the link and read through the page.

This seems fun.

Tsuna was eating dinner with his family and the freeloaders. Thankfully, his sister had been discouraged from adding shredded chili to the dishes, so he wasn't feeling like he had just swallowed a mouthful of liquid hell. Then she spoke up.

"There'll be a British male living here as well starting next week."

Tsuna choked on his rice, causing Fuuta to pat him on the back.

"What?!"

"It's a student exchange program, and I volunteered our family and house. He'll be going to Nami-chuu as well."

"What?!" repeated Tsuna.

"Don't worry, we're getting money for the expenses," said his sister, seemingly mistaking his exclamation for something else.

"That's not the point! Don't just volunteer our family without consulting us!"

"Why not?" his mother said, resting her hand on her cheek, "I think it's a wonderful idea. We'll be able to teach a foreigner about our culture, and he can teach us about his."

"Mum, don't encourage her!"

"I agree with Maman," Reborn said, "It's a great opportunity for Tsuna as well."

"Reborn!"

"I can get more rankings!"

"Fuuta!"

"Lambo, I-pin, what do you two think?" asked his mother, not noticing his protests, "We'll have another person joining our family soon!"

Lambo laughed obnoxiously and spouted something about making him his subordinate while I-pin just nodded and smiled happily.

"I'm glad everyone is excited for the new arrival. I've begun preparing the spare room already, so no need to worry, mum," assured his sister, smiling.

Tsuna sighed and hung his head in defeat. He really wished people would stop deciding things on their own.

Some time later, I was at Namimori airport. Our family didn't own a car, so I had asked Yuki's father, the Chief of Police, if he would be able to help. He was delighted at the thought of a foreigner visiting and staying in our town, and enthusiastically agreed. Yuki had wanted to meet the foreigner too, so she was tagging along.

"Is that him?" She pointed at a random boy walking by.

"No, Yuki, he's a blond, not brunet," I replied, glancing at the person she was pointing too. "He's also pretty distinctive too, with really large eyebrows." I sighed. "Really, I should have shown you the photo."

"Nah, it'd just have toned down the excitement of meeting a foreigner for the first time."

I smiled amusedly at her.

"You're already imagining the potential love that might blossom between you two." I stated. She grew flustered and waved her hands frantically.

"N-no! I have no idea what you're talking about!"

"You so are."

"No I'm not! Oh look, is that him?" She pointed in a random direction, clearly trying to divert my attention, but I looked anyway. To my surprise, it actually was him. I raised the sign with his name on it higher and started yelling.

"Over here! English exchange student over here!" I called, the last part in English. The blond looked in our direction at the sound of my voice and started walking over.

"You must be Sawada-san," he said in accented Japanese when he reached us, "It's nice to finally meet you." He bowed.

I bowed back. "It's nice to finally meet you too." I grabbed his hands, startling him. "Welcome to Namimori, Arthur Kirkland."

That night, Arthur sat at our dinner table. He told me to call him by his given name, and I insisted he call me Nee-san. He tried to address Nana as Sawada-san, but she was even more insistent than me on him calling her Mama. Tsuna was addressed with his given name, as was the rest of our strange household.

"Ah, Arthur, are you okay with using chopsticks?"

"Yes, I'm fine... Mama." he replied, blushing slightly when Nana clapped her hands in delight.

"Okay, food's ready." I set the dishes down on the table and slapped Lambo's hand away. "Let's start then."

We all sat down and said the traditional phrase, then started digging in. Arthur fumbled with his chopsticks a little, but he was nowhere as bad as Dino had been. The first half of the meal passed relatively peacefully, with Arthur occasionally being asked questions and replying, but then Lambo decided to start acting up.

"Gahahahahaha! I'm going to steal your food, tail-head!" He dove for I-pin's food, but missed when she swiftly took it away and crashed into Tsuna's bowl. It flipped up and rice flew everywhere. I and the other occupants of the table managed to duck down in time, being used to the chaos, but poor Arthur was too slow and received a faceful of rice.

"Lambo!" Tsuna grabbed Lambo, preventing any further mess, and bowed to Arthur. "I'm so sorry!"

Arthur waved his apology away. "Don't worry. It wasn't your fault." He turned to me. "Could you show me where the bathroom is again?"

"Sure," I replied, "Follow me."

He did, and we stopped by his room to grab a spare change of clothes and a towel, then headed to the bathroom. I left after instructing him on where to put his things, and returned to the kitchen.

It had returned to the normal chaos, and I sighed. I had really been hoping for peaceful meals to return.

Omake - Yes, Arthur's borrowed from Hetalia

A day before Arthur arrived, I received a phone call from an unknown number.

"Is this, English student, exchange program, family?" a voice asked in broken Japanese.

"Yes, it is." I switched to English. "And who might you be?"

"Oh, you can speak English!" the person said, relieved, "This is your hostee's cousin, Alfred F. Jones. I need to warn you about Arthur!"

"Um, okay, what do you need to warn me about?"

"Do not, under any circumstances, allow him to cook or eat his cooking!"

"Um, okay, but why not?"

"Just don't! If you do, I promise you'll regret it. I need to go now. Please remember what I said. Bye!"

I was left with the hung-up tone buzzing through my ear. I raised an eyebrow. And smirked. This would be fun, indeed.

No, I don't know why I decided to put a character from another series in either. This was originally meant to be the Valentine's day chapter, by the way.

I also changed my penname.

Maiokoe: Why thank you. I know, right?

Reaper Senpai: I may, someday. And you'll never know, will you~?

HikariNoTenshi-San: Of course I would. It was a brilliant suggestion. And the update has been delivered.

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed. Tell me if there's anything you particularly want to see, or if you noticed something was off, or if you particularly liked something.

Review?
