Ch 6:

Do you know what that kiss meant, Dame-Tsuna? Reborn's words echoed through Tsuna's mind for the dozen times.

It meant something like this: "I loved you for the longest time while you never even bat an eye towards me. Now it's time for you to go crazy."

Tsuna could remember Reborn's smug smirk when he found out what happened at the restaurant.

It was a trap, idiota. A beautiful one at that. And like any other traps, you were caught: hook, line and sinker.

5...

7...

9...

The staffs and even the guardians kept count how many times the brunet Don passed by them in a daze.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, Vongola Decimo, seemed to be on autopilot these past few days after coming back from the restaurant where he reunited with Shizu Reika. And just like when he came back after snapping out of his catatonic state, he had been restless and was constantly walking around the mansion with a faraway look.

"Tsu-kun?" the familiar voice of Sawada Nana broke the Vongola Don out of his trance.

"Mom!" he perked up. "When did you get here?"

"Me and your father just arrived." she had that motherly smile on her face as they hugged. "What were you so immersed in? You barely heard me approach"

"Just something stupid, mom" he smiled. "Are you hungry?"

"Not really" Nana replied. She linked her arm with Tsuna's as they walk together towards the garden. "Are you thinking about a girl?"

Tsuna faltered on his step and his blush was enough to give his mother an answer.

"oooh!" she cooed. "Is she pretty?"

"Mom!" Tsuna squeaked in embarrassment. "It's not like that!"

"Tsu-kun" Nana frowned. "You're turning 30 this year, just when are you going to get married?"

"There is a right time for that, mom." Tsuna sighed. "And right now isn't."

"Are you marrying someone younger than you?"

"I don't know. It depends, mom. It depends."

"Tsuna"

Said person raised a brow in confusion. Gone was the fond petname his father used to call him. Sawada Iemitsu came with serious business.

"What is it, dad?"

"Your mother..." Iemitsu trailed off uncomfortably.

... "Your mother wants to file a divorce against me"

Wait...

"What...?"

Iemitsu explained the situation and Tsuna couldn't help but deadpan.

"That's your problem, dad. Why am I being dragged in this?"

"Help me out here, Tuna-fish!" Iemitsu pleaded. "I'm trying to correct my mistakes. This divorce issue doesn't help me"

"And me getting married, helps you?" Tsuna raised a brow.

"Yes!"

"No."

"Tsuna, please?"

Vongola Decimo sighed. "I'll look into it"

"Thank you!" Iemitsu seemed to breathe in relief.

"It's not a promise, dad."

"I know, but I'm still greatful"

Next update : soon.

"Will you marry me?"

"Why should I? Are you in love with me?"

"No" I don't know.

"So why should I marry you?"

"Necessity."
