Vongola's Grandson

"This is Gokudera Hayato, a son of the Gavalino family's boss. Be nice to him," said the ninth.
It was on a scorching afternoon of Italian summer when Gokudera Hayato was introduced to Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Gokudera ignored the Vongola-to-be, turning away from the brunet and clicking his tongue in irritation.
Yet, despite the hostility, Tsuna, beaming brightly, friendlily introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Tsuna. How do you do?"
Gokudera just shrugged, averying eye contacts and making 'tsh..' sound.
At that point, Gokudera felt why he should make friend with such a weak, powerless brat like Tsuna, who couldn't fight at all. In contrast, he, seven years old, was feared and called 'Smoking Bomb' by adults. And how could such a useless man be chosen as the next Vongola? Impossible. Vongola was in its decline!
So when the ninth was away, Gokudera started to address to Tsuna.
But only challenging him to a battle.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, are you really the successor to Vongola?," asked Gokudera grimly.
"Yes, and so?"
"I don't acknowledge you!," said Gokudera harshly.
Silence pursued for a while before Tsuna reacted,
"It's up to you, then," Tsuna said, unconcerned.
"Tsh... That's not what I mean... I just try to invite you to fight me as a trial. The rule is easy : if you lose, be my lackey boy and vice versa."
"Sounds interesting," said Tsuna, thus accepting the challenge.
"Alright, then. I will give you the signal as we start. "
"Ready?"
"set"
"Go!"
What Gokudera did not understand was that Tsuna was barehanded and still smiling undauntedly. He tried to take this for granted, took his bombs out, lighted his cigarette and..."
Shhhh...
There came the excruciating sound of a cigar getting put out.
Gokudera then realised that Tsuna had snatched his cigar (before he knew it) and put it out.
"You!," barked Gokudera threateningly.
"Sorry, but cigars are not for a seven-year-old, you see," preached Tsuna in return.
"Tch..."
Gokudera tried to annoy this and light another cigar again only to be snatched again and again until...
There were no cigars left.
"The end of ME!," cried Gokudera inwardly, having nothing to light his bomb.
"Ha ha ha, I knew that you light your bombs with cigars, do you. See, it was actually EASY to stop you."
With this, Gokudera was panic at first, but a moment later he suddenly laughed, "really."
The smoking bomb struck his lighter, with which he lighted his bombs directly.
"It is true that my title derives from my way of lighting bombs with cigars. Still, you overlooked even the most basic fact that bombs can be lighted by anything to detonate. An idiot to the very end!," Gokudera scoffed.
Nevertheless, Tsuna smirked at this.
"I know that. Just distracting you, that's all."
Gokudera, again, found his lighter snapped before he could blink.
Gokudera couldn't believe his eyes. Again, Tsuna was so fast beyond human senses.
Then a realisation came to him. This person was not only worthy to be Vongola Decimo but also his master. As a result,
"Tenth, I am terribly sorry for my insolent conducts. I shall devote my life to you as a right-hand man, so please at least forgive me for this irrevocable sin!," Gokudera swore fiercely and passionately on his knees.
Tsuna sweatdropped at this sudden change of attitude and the over-pushing of the smoking bomb, so to lessen the tension, he said kindly, "It's alright. We can just be friends."
But this stubborn and aggressive bomber would not back down. Instead, he insisted with an intimidating glare, "No!, that's not acceptable! I MUST be your right-hand man!"
Therefore, that is how Sawada Tsunayoshi got Gokudera Hayato as his loyal comrade and family member (or right-hand man, as Gokudera would prefer).
