Lies no. 68:
Opening the door to Tsuna's door after school on a Friday, she walked in and dropped her bag on the floor. Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto stared at her for a few moments before the Vongola heir asked "Um… Rosa-san… what are you doing here?"
She stared at him for a few seconds before sitting down on the floor beside them saying, "My brother's boyfriend came to visit, I wanted to give them space." the switched to italian and said "By that, I mean that I didn't want to be there when they started making out…"
To which Gokudera choked, as Tsuna and Yamamoto stared in confusion.
Truth no. 12:
Harry sat calmly as he leaned into Squalo's side as they stared silently at the tv. "Where's Rosa?" the assassin asked
"Next door."
"At the heir's house?"
"Uhuh,"
"What time is she coming back?"
"Really late."
Suddenly, Squalo got to his feet and pulled him towards his bedroom.
Lie no. 69:
Later in the afternoon, Gokudera was walking through the street towards his apartment with Rosa, who was going toward a nearby corner store for milk (which was apparently running out in their house, but then again there is the possibility that Harry said that to stall for time).
"So Superbi is here?"
"Yup. Shit's gonna hit the fan, possibly tomorrow? Just giving you a heads up."
"Thanks."
Lie no. 70:
Step 5 of Operation Crush Iemitsu -or whatever it's called-: Tell the wife and son (Maybe it was a bit pathetic that they were doing this, but Nana did deserve to know. Such a kind woman didn't need to be with a man like Iemitsu).
It was Saturday afternoon when Harry and Rosa went to Nana's house with Squalo. The duo had timed it just right so that it coincided with Iemitsu's visit. "Let's hope this works…" he mumbled as he knocked on the door.
Truth no. 13:
It was not pretty.
Iemitsu walked in and started a loud argument in Italian which was diffused by Reborn and Nana. Squalo terrified Tsuna the entire time, the heir was sending him fearful looks every once in awhile as they ate. His father was glaring at the assassin, the assassin was glaring at him and Harry looked awkward.
Then Squalo asked "So did you ever tell your wife?" (because apparently he felt like the situation should be dealt with as if it were a band aid).
"Tell me what?" Nana asked
"Nothing dear," Iemitsu mumbled as his glare intensified and Harry began to shrinking in on himself. 'Uh oh…' he thought.
"So she knows about Oregano and Basil?"
"Squalo, shut up."
"She deserves to know."
"Who are Oregano and Basil?" Nana asked.
The following conversation between them was filled with tears, anger and the like. By the end of it all, Iemitsu had left, Squalo went to call Xanxus and Harry was holding a crying Nana, whilst Tsuna and Rosa snuck out.
Lie no. 71:
Quietly Rosa walked out of the house and sat down on the front step with Tsuna. After a few moments of silence, he asked "Did you know?" to which she graciously replied "Yes…"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"There were some things happening, your father angered a lot of people and when we found out, we thought she deserved to know. But your mother trusts him, so unless she saw for herself when he was lying… she probably wouldn't have believed us." she carefully told him, making sure to keep everything truthful and that she didn't mention that it was mostly done for vengeance.
After a few more minutes, she patted him on the back and told him she was going to call Gokudera and Yamamoto, saying he needed them around. She would have called his other guardians but Tsuna's cloud wasn't as nice as Harry was, his mist was in jail and his body double probably wouldn't be the best person to call and his sun was too loud for this kind of thing.
"Rosa?" he called
"Yeah?"
"You may be a bit scary… but you're really nice," he told her with a sad smile.
Lie no. 72:
Squalo returned to Italy later that week to help the Varia deal with their new batch of recruits, whilst Harry and Rosa stayed in Namimori to comfort Nana. Iemitsu continued to try and plead with his wife despite the promise of divorce papers. Harry easily got her a lawyer to help her combat him and the CEDEF lawyer he would be using, it was the least he could do, considering he ruined her marriage (although when he spoke to Tsuna, the boy refused to acknowledge his part in all of it. He had said all the blame could only be directed at his father's callous actions).
Gokudera kept giving Rosa judging looks (which wasn't that out of ordinary) and he was willing to help with her study problems (which easy basically every topic. Honestly, why couldn't she just learn things in Italian?). Tsuna was slowly dealing with the fact his parents were getting divorced, his friends all but forcing him to lean on them (he kept telling them that he didn't mean to be a burden, the silly child). He was glad he had Rosa as a friend, she was like this impenetrable shield that stood between him and the students of Namimori that couldn't help but try to get themselves involved (they were terrified of her).
Both he and Nana couldn't help but feel that, soon… everything would be ok after a while.
Shorter than usual, but I felt that this needed to be dealt with. I did not particularly like writing this set, which is probably why it is so short, because Nana does not deserve what I have done. So glad it is over and done with. Prompts would be nice, throw them at me! Also, I'm putting the Dino x Fem!Harry thing on the back burner for now, so that I can do another drabble series for Magi.For anyone who likes the series it should be put up fairly soon. Hope you enjoyed this chapter ^-^
