A/N:
@Worldnotesongs88: Don't worry, we have the badass cool Dads on the rescue. Mwahaha.
@Tenma Kirin: Here is the update.
@qiaraz97: Yup. Sleep late, wake early and work all day type of exhaustion. Tsuna is just too kindhearted to leave Soma alone and work all the morning chores. Hahaha. And since Reborn is getting popular among Tsuna's new circle of friends, why not? Hahaha. Although... shh... Reborn doesn't know Tsuna and Soma spun that. HAHAHA!
This chapter is kind of an epistolary. A little interesting, but the shortest I wrote so far. My apologies with those dividers if they get a lot distracting.
Note:
DATE (07-22-99)
Time (8pm)
To: - A message from Tsuna
From: - A message from Soma
Soma's name is 'Red Pepper' because we are reading this from Tsuna's phone. Remember, Tsuna sees Soma as a red pepper when the latter blushes red. :)
Ttyl - Talk to you later
Mml - Message me later
Anyway, go on. Hahaha.
