A/N: yow. Third chapter here. :D I'm sure you'd be surprised as to who his roommate is. Hoho. I can feel the disappointment already. Also, I'm telling you guys already that this story's plot will be all over the place because I write each chapter on a whim so yeah, some parts might be nonsensical at times. As for the roommate, I made it him because I just wanted to :D . But before I start, I want to thank people who favourited/alerted and reviewed this story. :D tell me if I forget someone.

Well. Thanks for the reviews once again! You guys make me happy very very much.
Before I start, I would like to make things more clearly for the speech bubbles stuff.
Italicized words like this – Tsuna's thoughts
'italicized words with one quote-in-quote only' – Someone else's thoughts
"italiced words in between sentences" – emphasizing
"normal talking"
Also, before you guys ask, Tsuna has no definite attitude in this story really. Sometimes, he goes back to his usual Dame-self or at times, to his HDW self, OR maybe both. Depends really. :D ok. That's all. Start reading.

He sighed for the last time and got out of the tub. He went to his room and wore his sleepwear. After that, he went to the kitchen to drink but just as he was about to drink, the door to their room opened. His eyes widened, taking in the form of the man in front of him.
Mission 2: Roommates and Luck
Ever since Tsuna could remember, the moment he came home after staying in the hospital for his last ever weekly therapy, that was the start when he met his first ever weirdest 'friend' (or torturer, more like it). He just turned 12 at that time, only 2 weeks had passed from the celebration that occurred and 8 months has passed from the 'The Incident'.
Of course, the time when he opened the door to the mansion in Italy, he has yet to meet said 'weird friend'. Even though Tsuna was somewhat absent-minded from the therapy, he still observed his surroundings, noticing nothing unusual about the place (But it was his first time going to the mansion, so he didn't really know what was unusual or not). It was only when he opened the door to his room that he met the 'someone' who will change his life, for the better or for the worse.
.duh.
Are… are those… horns? Why does he have horns? Shoot. I knew this school was crazy… but this is crazier than I thought. And he's my roommate too! Inner Tsuna was pulling his hair out of frustration. REBORN! What did you do? At this point on, Tsuna reverted back to his usual dame-self.
"The horns aren't real."
And he's wearing a cow-printed shirt too. Does he have a fetish for cows? Shootshootshootshoot. What kind of roommate did Reborn give me?
"Oi!"
Nooo. The cow-man is coming near me. His mouth's moving. Is he saying something? Huh? What did he say? Tsuna! Snap out of it. Focus. You're losing yourself!
"Oi! Are you on Earth now?" The… man-who-obviously-have-a-fetish-for-cows waved his hand in front of Tsuna's face.
"Huh? Wha-what did you say? So-Sorry about that." Tsuna mentally slapped himself. "I… The receptionist told me that my roommate wasn't here yet so I was surprised. S-sorry."
The man in front of him raised his eyebrows before going to the couch, half-sitting, half-lying. "No. It's okay. I wasn't really going back here but I heard you were coming already so I came here. The name's Lambo. I'm a second year. Nice to meet ya' roommate."
Tsuna put down the cup he was holding before nearing the man. "My name's Tsunayoshi. S-Sawada Tsunayoshi but y-you can call me T-Tsuna. I-I'm sixteen, a f-freshman h-here." He awkwardly bowed at Lambo, hands at his side shaking. "N-Nice to m-meet you too. Ple-Please take care o-of me."
"Sure. Yeah." Lambo closed one of his eyes, the open one analysing Tsuna like a specimen under a microscope …lazily. "Are you sure you're sixteen? You look much younger and the horns aren't real so you can stop staring at them." Lambo said while taking of the horns in his head, lazily raising his arm to show Tsuna. "See? They're like head bands. You can borrow them if you like. And I just like this shirt print so you can stop staring at them too. This one, you can't borrow though."
Tsuna sweatdropped. He's weird! Very very weird! "Y-yes, I'm really sixteen. And no thank y-you. H-horns don't suit me that much a-and the sh-shirt too. I-I'm sorry for staring." And those horns remind me of one of Reborn's training! He screamed in his mind, once again, awkwardly sitting in the love seat in front of the couch. He shuddered when he remembered Reborn's how-to-train-a-bull training.
Lambo watched him for a few seconds. Tsuna shuddered. "No. As I said before, I'm used to it. Sorry too." Tsuna looked at him confusedly, a 'huh' coming out. "About your age. You looked like you were ready to die if another guy mentions it."
This time, Tsuna's mouth really formed an O, his eyes widening a bit more. "O-Oh… that. I don't m-mind. I'm u-used to i-it already. I get t-that a lot you s-see."
"So you're used to it? But I see why though. That's because of your eyes. They're too big for boys." Tsuna's jaw dropped. This guy's too blunt! He reminds me of Reborn… in a BAD WAY!
Hieeee! "I… I… I'll go back to my r-room now. I-I'm tired from my trip. Sorry… La-Lambo-sempai." He hurriedly went to his room, not bothering to wait for a reply.
.action
Lambo's first thought when he saw his new roommate was 'Cute!'. Even though he looks weak, he was still cute none-the-less. If I was gay, I would have gone for him. But since he wasn't, Lambo just thought of him as cute. (He says that being single was too good a guilty-pleasure for him to give up.) He was about to say hi (just for this time, I'll be the one to greet first, Lambo thinks) but he noticed that the rabbit's ("He looks just like one doesn't he? He's small AND he looks cuddly. Just like a rabbit" Lambo said as an afterthought.) eyes were staring at his head like he had another one protruding out. He mentally sighed.
"The horns aren't real"
But the rabbit in front of him still kept staring. 'Oh. It went down. I spoke too soon. It stopped at my shirt.' Lambo sighed.
Since the… boy was too caught up with his thoughts, he just went to sit, or more like half-lie, at the couch. He started to introduce himself. 'So his name's Tsuna …and he's still staring at my horn and the shirt.' Taking off his horn-head band, Lambo offered it to him. 'He shuddered. Maybe he doesn't like horns?'
He apologized, not because of the horns, but because of what he noticed and of what he said. The kid's reaction wasn't what he expected so he was surprised (though it didn't show in his face). He lazily closed his eyes once more after looking at the door of his new roommate.
Tsuna eh? He's lucky his roommate's not gay …or bisexual, or else, he would be eaten by now especially with the carnivores around in this… Oh… it seems like he WILL be eaten, and soon too. The carnivores are in this floor after all. I hope luck's on his side.
. :D
Tsuna stared at the ceiling, a mix between the colors' goldenrod and rusty red. It was morning already and the encounter with his roommate last night left him leaving drained which made him more tired than usual. He played back the memories of the night before. His sempai was a weird individual, that he could understand but the question that was staying in his mind was why did the receptionist pale when she told him his room number?
What was it with Lambo-sempai? I understand the weirdness. That's a given already but to get paled that much? Is there more to it than what he's showing?
He looked at the clock –It's only 6:12, his eyes wearily blinking. Eyes. Ughh. It's not my fault I inherited Mama's eyes. He pouted as he replayed back what Lambo said.
"That's because of your eyes. They're too big for boys."
He covered his face with a pillow. Snap out of it, Tsuna! You're acting out of character. Reborn's watching you! As he mentally berated himself, he prepared to go do his daily routine which consisted of the usual.
Wake up at 6 to 6:30, brush teeth while preparing a bath, prepare the food (Tsuna recited one of Reborn's teaching - "A future Vongola Boss should know how to cook by himself, prepare his food by himself and also prepare others' food by himself" – the last part added by Reborn himself), take a bath then arrange a schedule for the day (Another of Reborn's teachings – "A Vongola Boss should have a schedule for the day – an unarranged day is like asking for enemies to attack you. - Tsuna sweatdropped when he remembered this lesson. He just didn't see the point of the second part.)
As he was waiting for the pan to heat up, Tsuna went to go to Lambo's room but he found that his sempai wasn't there at all, not even in the bathroom. Since Tsuna was inside already, he re-observed the room.
Just like his room, Lambo's room was the same, except for the color, the symbol and the position of the things. The (carpeted) walls were a forest green color, a sight that Tsuna thought he liked. Another difference is that the color of the bed covers, whilst Tsuna's were a mustard-y, orange-y color, Lambo's were of a mix of light and dark greens. And instead of the Vongola Emblem on the symbol like Tsuna's is, Lambo's symbol on the top of the bed consists of a shield-like border with a lightning/thunder bolt at the center which means that his sempai was of a lightning attribute. So that's the reason why the room's so... foresty but it does suit him.
Tsuna realised that he liked this room very much because of the colors and the aura it gives off, not that his room was unlikeable, but the colors of his room were a bit too feminine for his liking.
Which boy decorates his room an orange? Tsuna took one last look at the room before going back to his cooking. For one person only then!
When Tsuna went back to the kitchen, he saw a note lying on the table. He read it, noticing the neat handwriting, which brought a smile –and a twitch- to his face. It was from Lambo.
Tsuna,
Since you don't know me at all, what I'm doing right now is probably out of character for me, even writing this much but I want to say sorry again, about the way I talked about your eyes. I guess it's a taboo topic to talk about your feminism –insert twitch here- from now on. Anyway, since you might look for me, don't. You won't find me at all. I'll come back when I want to. Have fun… and oh yeah..
Good luck with the predators lurking around the corner, especially the ones in this floor. They like to prey on innocent idiots.
The best hitman in the world, your king,
-Lambo
The last sentence confused Tsuna. Predators? Maybe he means bullies? But why warn me when it's a known fact that this is a Mafia school? Weird. That was what Tsuna thought but he can't help thinking that there's more to it than just 'bullies'. Since he doesn't know, he put it in the back of his mind and noted it for later.
After eating his food, washing the dishes and bathing, Tsuna looked at the planner he made.
7:45 to who knows when – TOUR THE SCHOOL
In between the tour, LOOK FOR PLACES where you can hide
In between the tour (IBTT), MAKE A MENTAL NOTE in places to avoid
Ibtt, AVOID POSSIBLE IDIOTS (and said PREDATORS (?)) along the way
After finishing the tour, REST.
Reborn will kill me when he finds out the planner I made was like this. He sweatdropped, pocketing the paper in where he wrote it. He went to get his key card, the school map and his glasses. Speaking of Reborn, he said that he has a surprise for me when I get here. I wonder what it is. Since he's Reborn, I should expect something… unfortunate for me or something out of this world. I don't know.
Tsuna made sure that he locked the door before going to the elevator. He stared at the floors he passed, noticing that the decoration and interior of the floor he was in was more grand than the first two floors. (The building has 4 floors – ground, first, second and third. He was in third)
If that isn't called injustice, then I don't know what to call it.
Before leaving, Tsuna swiped his keycard to the swiping machine to check out (it was customary for students to check in and out of the dorm so that the school knows if they're in or out). It was located near the entrance of the dorm, so when you leave or go in, it's a must to swipe the key card. If you forget the key card or doesn't have one yet, you'll go in to another door beside the key card-swiping door where a computer is waiting. That computer will be taking down the things about you, storing it (and other people can access it) and the only way to clear your name in there it is to swipe the key card you have.
Tsuna sighed at the complicated things he'll be inheriting soon. What happened to being traditional? He looked at the sky, thinking about his inheritance and the most important mission of all that Reborn gave. How unfortunate I am.
Speaking of, that's right, Tsuna. You're unfortunate. Lambo's hope of you having luck just went down the drain.
Since Tsuna was thinking while walking, and that even though he's already Reborn-trained, Dame-ness is hard to get rid of, hence, the reason as to why our current protagonist is currently sitting on the floor, his butt aching …and add to that, the glares he was feeling currently. Tsuna was ever so thankful that Reborn trained him to keep his control at times (because at times like this, cursing loudly is hard to stop and talking back was like as natural as volcanoes erupting and don't forget the glaring too) but he wasn't thankful for the influence he got from Reborn (Reborn was a great tutor –don't tell him that!- if you minus the beatings and his 'encouragements' but Reborn really influences people greatly, hence the reason why Tsuna has a colourful vocabulary like his tutor have and the do-i-look-like-i-give-a-damn attitude).
"Ou-ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch." Tsuna cried while carefully standing up. That was stupid of me to be so careless. Still dame, Tsuna? He slowly opened his eyes as he felt the glares become more pronounced.
He saw a man who was a head taller than him, his mouth making an O shape. "Oi. Idiot. Apologize to him!" Said man yelled at him.
If I wasn't in acting mode right now, you wouldn't be even able to talk. Tsuna mentally rolled his eyes, mentally smirking as he looked at the idiots in front of him, noticing how they were somewhat encircling another boy, who by the looks of it, the person he bumped into. How sweet. Not. Tsuna sarcastically talked to himself, his like-split-personality immediately coming out,
Look at them was all Tsuna could do before re-controlling himself to not glare at the poor souls who were starting to annoy the hell out of him with their non-stop bickering about apologizing to their 'friend'.
.!
Meanwhile, in another place, we could see a man, who, by the looks of it, is in his mid-twenties, wearing a fedora hat. He was watching his vict—err. his student in a television connected to the cameras located in the school. He smirked as he watched the scene unfolding, the glint in his eyes hard to pass by.
"Dame-Tsuna, what, oh, what will you do? You've only been away for three days and yet, you're already reverting back to yourself? You need to get punished." A sound of a gun cocking was heard, echoing throughout the whole place. "How dare you forget what I taught you?" Sadistic humour glinted in his eyes while he smirked, both giving off the aura of unmentionable kinds of torture waiting for its victim, enough to make chills run down the poor soul.
Leon just stared at his master, munching on an insect he caught flying around the place.
R27.R27.R27
Tsuna couldn't help but shiver, a chill running down his spine. He looked back and forth and sideways, nothing explaining what he suddenly felt. What the hell was that?
