A Hero of Dying Will
Ch3
Sitting on the couch Tsuna stared confusingly at the television. It had been a few months since his mother had given him the talk about quirks, how quirks are these super amazing powers that most people had. At four years old Tsuna still doesn't understand quirks and as he watches T.V. he can't help but think its all fake.
On the television was a large man with bulging muscles easily swatting away many other people. Or as the television explained the great hero All Might, who is currently facing off against a group of villains who had robbed a bank. Tsuna winced as one of the bad guys was sent flying.
Sniffling Tsuna couldn't help but curse his young age. Even though he had the memories of a previous life he is still a young child. All the excitement from the television and watching people get hurt really scared young Tsuna. As such he couldn't help but tear up as he watched the violence on the T.V. He rubbed his eyes and winced as one of the villains attacked a group of civilians that had been gawking nearby.
"All those people," Tsuna thought, "this cant be real."
In Tsuna pervious life there where dying will flames. So Tsuna could understand people having powers but this was unbelievable. Not the fact that people had powers but the way they were treating it.
Suddenly a comical interrupted the show advertising a new limited edition All Might hoodie. This was why he had trouble believing that what he saw on television was true because it was all treated as if it was some type of children's show. They even sold merchandise based on the hero's. It had to be television show.
'If they where real heroes and this was really happening…' Tsuna tried to reason, 'how could they do that? How could they make a profit from people who are in trouble? Who are being hurt?'
Rubbing his eyes the hairs on the back of his neck stood up as he sensed someone staring at him. He didn't need to look up to see who it was. He could sense that it is his mother. For the past few months his mother had been watching him, sometimes with a look of expectation or other times one of worry.
"Tsuna?" Nana called out as she walked over to Tsuna, "is something wrong?"
At that moment the commercial had ended and the television once again returned to the fight.
"People are getting hurt…" Tsuna muttered as he looked down at his feet.
Nana leaned over and gave Tsuna a hug, "oh don't worry about that. The heroes will save the day!"
Tsuna frowned, 'if it was real wouldn't people be more concerned about the people being hurt. It has to be fake or maybe some type of popular children's show.'
"Hey Tsuna?" Nana suddenly said, "how about we go somewhere fun today?!"
"Somewhere fun?" Tsuna asked. Since he was first able to form coherent thought his mother and him have been following a sort of routine. They didn't often deviate from it. In the back of his mind Tsuna couldn't help but think it was shameful that he had allowed himself to fall into such a predictable routine. That if Reborn was here, he would kick Tsuna upside the head for allowing it to happen.
Tsuna pushed away the thoughts of his friends and family from his other life. There was no point in dwelling on such thoughts. They would only cause Tsuna to become upset and right now he needed to focus on his mother. It wasn't common for his mother to suggest they go somewhere for fun. Usually when they left the house it was for grocery shopping or other errands and doctor appointments.
So his mother asking if he wanted to go somewhere 'fun' was a bit unexpected.
"I thought… maybe we could go to the park today!" Nana said, "wouldn't that be fun? You may even make a friend!"
Tsuna stared at his mother in surprise. 'Right,' he thought, 'social interaction. I suppose I'm at that age where I should be socializing with my peers.'
Tsuna frowned, in his previous life he hadn't been very good at interacting with others. It wasn't until Tsuna had been twelve that he had started to make friends and that was because of Reborn's meddling.
Looking blankly at his mother Tsuna noticed the strained smile on her face and the way her hands twitched. His mother would never make him do something he didn't want to…If he said he didn't want to go or that he wanted to stay home and watch more T.V. he knew that she would agree. He also knew that she wanted him to go to the park, to meet kids his own age and make friends. It was the normal thing to do.
Tsuna smiled unsurely and replied, "Yeah! Okay!"
Nana smile grew and she practically glowed in excitement and happiness. His mother expression and obvious happiness caused Tsuna to smile more naturally.
"That's great Tsuna! I know you'll have a wonderful time and make so many friends," Nana gushed.
As his mother continued talking she started to dress Tsuna for going outside. He was shoved into a large puffy orange jacket. A pair of earmuffs where placed on his head and his feet where put in a pair of orange boots. In Tsuna opinion it was a bit over kill even if it had been rather chilly.
Finding his hand in his mother grasp Tsuna allowed her to drag him out of the house and down the street.
He knew that his mother only wanted what was best for him but Tsuna didn't want to go to the park. Meeting kids around his own age was the last thing that he wanted to do. Four year olds weren't exactly the most articulate people, with all the screaming and running around, Tsuna would much prefer staying home. He didn't need to make any friends his own age. In his previous life he hadn't had any friends until he was twelve. He didn't want to replace his friends!
Tsuna squeezed his mother's hand and felt comforted when she squeezed back.
The memories that Tsuna held were the only thing he had left of his friends and he was afraid that one day he would lose them. That he would forget that other life and the friends he left behind. That one day the memories of this world may replace the one's of his other life. In the back of his mind Tsuna knew that it was an unreasonable reason to not make friends…but it didn't change how he felt.
Nearing the park Tsuna heard children voices and let out a sigh.
'I don't have to interact with them,' Tsuna thought, 'I'll just hang out in the sand box or something.'
Walking into the park Tsuna saw the standard playground equipment. He took notice of the few kids that were running around playing with each. Then his eyes fell on a lone sandbox that lay off to the side and away from the other children.
'Perfect…' Tsuna thought.
"Okay Tsuna," Nana said as she came to a stop and looked down at her son. "I'm going to be over there with all the other mothers," Nana explained as she pointed to a group of women chatting. "You play nice and try to make some friends!"
"Yes," Tsuna said as he began to make his way to the sandbox after his mother had released his hand.
As Nana walked over to the group of women she smiled, she wasn't the most social person but it was always nice to chat with someone.
"Good morning!" Nana called out.
"Ah Sawada-san what a pleasant surprise," A woman with short black hair and eyes said as she turned to smile at Nana.
"Oh my Ayumi-san, no need to be so formal. Just call me Nana," Nana said.
"It's good to see you," A plump woman with brown hair and black eyes said, who Nana remembered is named Emiko.
"Its been too long," a woman with long brown and hair and eyes said, whom Nana knew is named Kimi.
"Yes you to Emiko-san," Nana answered both women, "it has hasn't it?"
"But its understandable," Kimi said, "raising a child can be so difficult."
"Oh not all, Tsuna is very well behave," Nana answered. "I hope I'm not interrupting?"
"Not at all," Ayumi said, "we where just talking about quirks."
"Quirks?" Nana asked.
"That's right," Ayumi replied, "my little Kanna just got her quirk! She can float! Although it can be a little troublesome at times."
"I doubt she gets into as much trouble as my son," Kimi stated, "his quirk allows him to eat anything. Just last week he ate the kitchen chairs. Sometimes I don't know what to do with that boy."
"At least both your children have interesting and useful quirks. My Itsuki quirk is that he can turn himself into a puddle," Emiko sighed.
"That's not that bad," Kimi said as she tried to cheer Emiko up.
"Besides kids don't have full control of their quirk right off the bat" Ayumi said, "I'm sure that in time it will develop into something useful."
"I suppose you're right," Emiko said as she gave a lopsided smile.
As the three women finished talking they turned to Nana and asked, "what about your son?"
"Eh? You mean Tsuna…" Nana asked.
"Yes,"Kimi confirmed, "what type of quirk does he have?"
"Oh well…" Nana stutter, "Tsuna hasn't gotten his quirk yet…"
"Oh my!" Emiko whispered in shock.
"Is that so?" Kimi questioned.
"But I'm sure he'll be getting his any day now," Nana said more to reassure herself then the other women.
"Tsuna-kun is four, isn't he?" Kimi said, it could be he doesn't have a quirk…"
"Don't say such negative things!" Emiko said, "plenty of kids are late bloomers and get their quirks when they're five. Really Nana don't listen to anything Kimi-san says."
Nana smiled nervously. While she knew there was no ill intent with their comments it still caused her to feel anxiety. There was always that little voice in the back of her mind that had asked, what if he didn't have a quirk?
"Actually Nana-san, Isn't your quirk something like making the food you cook taste better?" Ayumi asked.
"Eh? Oh, yes," Nana confirmed.
"In that case could it be that Tsuna might already have his quirk?" Ayumi asked, "and you just haven't notice it."
"Oh that's right! Emiko said as she reached into her bag and pulled out a card. "For a while my older sister thought her son was quirk-less but she took him to a doctor. I happen to have that doctors card."
Nana took the card that was handed to her.
"So was he quirk-less?" Kimi asked.
"Not at all," Emiko said, "it turns out that his quirk is that he can talk to fish. He just never was around any live fish."
Nana stared down at the card, "you really think that's it?"
"Of course! That has to be it!" Ayumi answered, "about eighty percent of the population has quirks and most of those that don't are part of the older generations."
"I see!" Nana happily said as she felt more reassured, "then I'll defiantly look into them!"
Tsuna had seen a lot of things in his previous lifetime. Baby assassins, magical flames, magical box weapons, fighting robots and even ghosts but as he sat in the little sandbox he had claimed as his own he couldn't help but question this new world he was in. For right across from him is a boy no older than Tsuna, who happens to be eating a tire swing at least twice his size and above that boy is a small girl floating in the air. He also couldn't sense any flames from them.
At that moment Tsuna remembered his mother telling him about quirks and how they where like having a super power. And while part of him was freaking out as he watched the boy eat something that really shouldn't be edible, in the back of his mind Tsuna could only think who would want a super power like that?
Tsuna really just wanted to go home.
"Hideaki! Spit that out this instant!" A woman cried out, "how many times do I have to tell you not to eat things that aren't yours!?"
So here's chapter 3.
This actually didn't take that long to write and edit. I just needed to sit down and do it. Although. I'm only writing this because I'm procrastinating with something else.
Tsuna sort of realizes that people do have powers/quirks. He's currently not sure how he should feel about that. Also had some angst about how Tsuna misses his family and friends.
So I just recently posted a new fic called, 'The Hero is a Novice'. It's basically an Au where Tsuna was never part of the mafia and ends up transported to another world. Probably a Arco/Tsuna (not sure if I'll use all the Arcobaleno) with some one sided ?/Tsuna. If you have the time please check it out.
