"That's not important. Signore Verde, let me in. I have something important to discuss." She said.
"Get lost, Suzanne," Verde told her bluntly.
He put the microphone back into his lab coat and mute the monitor. So, he could not hear what she said anymore.
Reborn raised his eyebrows in curiosity during the exchange.
"So, who's that?"
Verde looked at him with an irritated face. "My stalker."
Then, the alarm was sounded again. They looked at the monitor again to see Suzanne managed to open the gate. And she was entering the lab.
Verde scowled. "I am going to kill that girl one of these days."
Reborn only smirked in curiousity and amusement.
Chapter 4. Comforting Present.
10 years later.
In a hotel room, Tsuna was sitting on a chair while looking at a woman in confusion. That woman was standing in their balcony while using binoculars.
Tsuna was just married to that woman a few days ago in a simple and private ceremony. And they were granted a 2 months trip for honeymoon to anywhere they want. So, when Tsuna let his newlywed wife decided where to go, she dragged him to France.
"Moglie." He called her confusedly. "What are you doing?"
She looked back at him. "I am stalking someone."
Tsuna looked at her in shock. "Is that the reason we come here?"
She looked at him sheepishly. "Well, besides our honeymoon."
She walked to him and sat across from him. She put the binoculars on the table and smiled at him.
"Do you need something, Marito?"
He was still not used with the way she addressed him and blush a little.
"Nothing, really." He replied. "Why don't you continue stalking whoever is it?"
She tilted her head thoughtfully. "Marito, as your wife, I can't exactly ignore you. I can stalk that person any other day. Besides, we are on a honeymoon, so what do you want to do?"
Tsuna smiled shyly. "Do you mind if we just talk for now? We haven't known each other that well after all."
She shrugged. "Sure, Marito."
Tsuna coughed. "By the way, do we have to address each other like that? Can we call each other by name?
"So, do you want me to call you Tsunayoshi?"
"You can just call me Tsuna."
She frowned at him. "Can I stick with Tsunayoshi?"
Tsuna raised his eyebrows questioningly. "Oh, okay, if you like."
She smiled in satisfaction. "Thank you, Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna felt that his heart skipped a beat when she said his name.
"Then, what should I call you?" He asked instead.
She looked down sadly and sighed.
"Moglie." He called out in concern. "What's wrong?"
She looked back up at him and smiled. "You can call me whatever you want."
Tsuna furrowed his eyebrows uncertainly. "But."
She smiled comfortingly. "When we are ready to tell our secret, then I will tell you."
Tsuna looked down in thought. Will they be close enough to share a secret?

Unknown time and place.
A boy with spiky brown hair and violet eyes was standing in front of a door. Behind that door, he could hear a man was talking in Italian.
"Chrome, is Ninfea running away again?" The man said demandingly.
"We have tightened our security since the last time she ran away. How could this happen again?"
The man sighed tiredly. "Chrome, you are supposed to keep an eye on her."
"If she is going on a date then send someone to disturb it."
"Chrome, I am not being unreasonable, you hear me. You better find her soon."
The boy frowned thoughtfully. He did not know Italian, but from that conversation, he caught the name 'Ninfea'.
The boy was startled when the door was opened. The man looked at him in surprise.
"Ie-kun!" He exclaimed softly. "Why haven't you asleep yet?"
The boy looked down shyly. "I… I… um… I can't sleep."
The man smiled at him comfortingly. "Let's get you to bed then."
Most boys his age would have protested that they do not need to be tucked to bed anymore. But, the boy did not protest at all. Because he is afraid of getting to sleep and the man knows that.
The man led the boy to a room and got him into bed.
"You are going to leave soon, aren't you?" The boy stated.
The man looked apologetic. "I am sorry, Ie-kun."
The man ruffled the boy hair slowly and comfortingly.
"Don't worry. I will stay until you fell asleep." The man reassured him.
"All right, good night, Chichiue."
The boy fell asleep knowing that he would not see his father when he woke up. He was used to it. It will be a while before he sees his father again.
When he woke up, the boy was feeling comfortable. Then he realized that he was laying on someone lap and that someone was petting his hair.
He looked up hoping to see his father, but he saw someone else instead.
"Good morning, Suzuran." The smiling face of a girl greeted him.
"Suiren?" Suzuran said in confusion.
She looked at him worriedly. "Are you all right. You were crying in your sleep."
His eyes became teary and he began to sob. The boy hugged her waist and cried on her lap.
"Suiren, please be my girlfriend."
She frowned. "Suzuran!"
Suzuran hiccupped. "Just… Just… don't leave me."
Her frown fell and she looked at him sadly. She did not give him an answer and just continued petting his hair and let him cried on her.
After all, that is not a promise she could make.

Present.
Suzuran woke up and found himself on the bed at the infirmary of Vongola Headquarter. And, he saw beside him, his father's past self was sleeping on a chair.
He could feel tears forming in his eyes. So, he hurriedly wiped them off.
Suzuran never saw his father after he woke up. Because his father often went back to Italy before he woke up.
During his stay in the past, he often hopes that the one he saw when woke up will be his actual father, not his father's past self. But, seeing Tsunayoshi-san besides his bed was breaking his heart, because he could not help but love it.
It just made it harder for him not to compare them.
After a while, Suzuran decided to go back to sleep with a comforting thought that he will see his father lookalike when he woke up.
I hope you enjoy this story. Please be kind to me and review it. Thank you for reading my fanfiction.
