Chapter 16
Tsuna wonders when will it all end.

Tsuna was currently on fire. That... was unfortunately not new, but he digresses. Being on fire was weird no matter how many times— even for him. The brunet didn't know how exactly that happened, but he had been just done for the day. He didn't want to deal with this — whatever this was, anymore. Tiredness somehow twisted into some kind of weird anger. 'If I have to suffer, they all have to too!' Had been his mentality, and then he had just ignited, just like that. Poof!

The dark haired boy had been so surprised by the sudden appearance of flames that he actually stumbled in the midst of lunging, almost falling flat on his face.

And the Bel who had already pulled out his weird knives— well... he started laughing. He practically cackled upon seeing the other boy's ungraceful fall. He was still cackling, wheezing as he swung his knives around. It didn't look like he had even noticed Tsuna suddenly bursting into flames. The brunet would have felt relief if not for the dread that was currently coursing through his veins. Bel-san was weird. This would be something no one could ever convince him to say otherwise.

The other boy was already recovering from his fall, brows wrinkled and a smile pasted on his face. It distinctly reminded Tsuna of a cat that was about to rip someone's head off. "Mafia scum!" He spat out.

Bel immediately stopped laughing, his ever present smirk disappearing for a moment before reappearing. With the flick of the wrist, more gleaming knives appeared in his hands. "Ushishi, what did the trash call the prince?" Tension filled the air, and even without knowing the words that were spoken, Tsuna knew it could be nothing good. The brunet's flames had long disappeared, but his eyes still shone bright, the embers not yet fading from it.

'Gee, I'm so used to people trying to kill each other,' Tsuna thought with a twitch. Sure, it was a bad situation, but it was nothing he couldn't handle. The brunet sighed, where had the peace gone in his life? Shaking his head, the younger boy shoved a hand through the pocket of his hoodie, before pulling out his phone. 'Let's see... where do you click to get the translator again?' The brunet squinted at the bright screen, keeping an ear out for the foreign words that were being thrown around in the room. It hadn't escalated to actual combat yet. If there was one thing he had noticed while hanging with his friends, it was that fights started off with barbs more often than not. Kyoya was always the first to snap however.

Oh! There it was. The program ready, Tsuna began to type in his message. Hmm... what to say? Preferably something to catch their attention.

Please stop...

Huh... would that work? Please stop fighting! That would work right? Tsuna continued to type up his message in hiragana, pausing once in a while to delete some rather insulting words he had accidentally included in his annoyance. The brunet was hardly a saint with a heart of gold, no matter what his friends insisted.

And there!

"QUIT FIGHTING! KNEEL AND REPENT!" The translator barked out, and Tsuna let out a small 'hieee,' almost dropping his phone in surprise. Despite the unexpected volume, the translator did it's trick. Both the older boys turned to him right away, faces scrunched up.

"Ushishi, is the shrimp trying to tell the prince what to do?" Bel smirked, teeth flashing and Tsuna blanched.

"Oya? You want me to repent?" The dark haired boy spoke. Tsuna still didn't know what he was saying, but he could tell it wasn't anything good, based on his rather fake smile. The phone in his hand beeped and Tsuna glanced at it, startled to see the message. 'Ohoho. You want to repent?' The brunet made a face. What kind of translation was that? "Why would I want to repent?" Tsuna blurted out in confusion. Clearly there was something wrong with the translator. It was that or the boy was just a super weirdo. But threatening or not, they were more calm now at least. That was good right? Gathering up his courage, the brunet slowly approached the two, facing Bel with the dark haired boy at his back. "Bel-san, it's good to see you again," Tsuna greeted with a small smile. "So um, instead of fighting, lets all sit down and eat?"

The prince pursed his lips, as if thinking over the offer before sliding his knives back into his coat. "Shrimp, I don't think you know, but that peasant is a killer."

A killer? Tsuna tensed, heart speeding up involuntarily and knuckles tightening before he uncurled his hands and relaxed once again.

"...Uhh..." Aren't you one too? Tsuna refrained from asking, sweat dropping at the sudden reveal. So the boy killed people? The brunet sent a wary glance at the older boy behind him. It was hard to believe that someone so young could kill. Tsuna thought back to the dark stain on the boy's outfit. Ah. So that had been...blood? It was hard to believe, but it wasn't impossible. After all, Tsuna did not doubt for a second that Bel killed, even though he looked only a few years older. But if he was a killer, then were those two other boys killers too? Had Tsuna unknowingly brought killers home? To his mother?

The thought was too scary.

"... I believe in him. That he won't hurt us," Tsuna spoke, eyes swirling with fire. He swallowed thickly. It was a large claim to make after all, especially since he didn't actually believe that. But he didn't want to throw them out either. Not when someone was clearly chasing after them. "So they're staying here until they get better."

Bel clicked his tongue. "Naive." The older boy tapped his chin in thought before a smile spread across his lips. "Ushishi, you know what? The prince is a genius~"

"The prince will be staying here!"

.

Tsuna sobbed.
