Chapter 3: Announcement and Partners

Giotto woke up to the morning rays of sun. He got up from his bed and then stated to get ready for school. After taking a shower and getting dressed, Giotto walked downstairs for breakfast.

Once downstairs, he headed towards the kitchen, where he was greeted by a plate filled with pancakes and bacon, and a note on the table.

Giotto sat down and ate his breakfast. As he was eating, Giotto read the note.

Sorry, Giotto, but my boss called me in early. Anyway, have fun at school, remember to be safe, and make sure to stay out of trouble!

Love, Mom

Giotto sighed. This wasn't the first time it has happened. It actually happened very often when the two of them lived in Italy. Though it didn't really matter to him, after all, it was because of this that he was able to have a close relationship with G and everyone else. With days like this Giotto would usually play with them until his mother came home or he would go to school, either way, he was still with his friends.

Giotto snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the clock. It read 7:19.

'School starts at 7:48 and it takes around 20 minutes to walk to school… I better get going. If I take any more time I might be late, and that's one thing that I want to steer clear of.' Giotto thought and with that said he finished the remainder of his breakfast and left.

Giotto has been late for one of his classes, but it was only once. However, even if it was only once, Giotto wants to make sure it never happens again.

He was late for Chemistry and unfortunately had to run into the Raven-Alaude known as Hibari Kyoya he has now learned. At first Giotto thought nothing of it and continued his way towards his class, but that was his mistake. As Giotto was passing him, Hibari pulled out his tonfas and started to attack him.

Of course, in the end, Giotto successfully managed to run away from Hibari unhurt, but by the time he made it to Chemistry the bell had rung. He would have dismissed this and continued on with his day, but… when you come to the realization that someone continued to fight with you for about an hour at full force without taking a break or getting tired, you would kind of want to avoid that person, and that was what Giotto did.

Whenever Giotto was coming close to being late for any of his classes, he made sure that the way he was running had no trace of that raven teen.

Giotto remained in his thoughts until the school building came into sight. When he saw it he went inside and did the necessary daily things for school. Once he was done, he walked to his homeroom classroom.

On his way there, Giotto heard many comments about him when he passed by a few groups of girls, but Giotto just ignores them. Surprisingly, his female classmates here aren't as troublesome as his female classmates from Italy. These girls here were much calmer. Sure, they did do some things like take pictures of him when he wasn't looking or stare at him, but they didn't do it in every waking second or do anything too extreme. It was only occasionally, which he was grateful for. Giotto already has a raven problem; he doesn't need a fangirl problem.

Once Giotto made it to his classroom, he went directly to his desk and sat down. He checked the clock that was in the front of the classroom.

'7:44… 4 more minutes until the bell…' Giotto thought and rested his head on the desk, unknown to him that a certain brunet was giving him shy glances.

4 minutes later, the bell rung and the students that were chatting with one another left to their respected desks. A minute later, Haruka-sensei came into the room with a suspicious smile on her face, which made her students become curious and nervous. She went to her front desk and took roll. When everyone was counted for, Haruka-sensei answered the question that all of her students were silently asking.

"Okay, everyone, I have a big announcement to make!" Haruka-sensei said "Namimori Sport's Festival will be in 2 weeks!"

There was a few seconds of silence until the students in the classroom let out groans of annoyance and sadness. They all remembered last semester's 'Sport's Festival' the teachers called it. To the students it wasn't a Sport's Festival; it was a military obstacle course. They don't even know how they completed it, or survived for that matter.

Haruka-sensei laughed at her students reaction "Now, now, everyone. Don't worry, it's not going to be like last time. After a bit of reviewing from last time, we realized that maybe we went too far. This time there will be a little less than 10 courses and we made it as fun and easy as we could." She said, which lightened up her student's spirits. "Alrigty then! This time it's going to be different on participation too. Instead of everyone being alone, we're going to have teams of 4. I'll even let you pick your teams right now." She said, but before letting her students pick she tells then one last sentence. "When you have all four teammates, come and tell me so I can mark your team." And with that said the students rushed to their friends.

Giotto stayed at his seat. Even though he's been here for a while now, Giotto hasn't really connected with anyone, so he didn't have any options for having a team... that was until 3 groups of girls went to him at the same time.

"Vongola-san, come be with our team!" One group asked.

"No way! Vongola-san is going to be with ours!" Another group said.

"That's what you two think. He's with us!" A third group said

"What was that?!" Both groups said and they all started to fight, while Giotto was left sitting in his seat, silently wishing for someone to help him.

Meanwhile, Tsuna was looking at Giotto with worry and curiosity. Curiosity because he wanted to ask Giotto to be in his group, and worry because Giotto seemed to be in some trouble and Tsuna was wondering if he was alright. Tsuna wasn't really worried about if Giotto liked any of the girls there, he could tell that Giotto didn't really like being with them.

Tsuna continued to stare at Giotto for a while longer until finally he gained the courage to ask his 2 teammates, Yamamoto and Gokudera a question.

"…um… Guys? I-Is it okay if G-Giotto-san is in our team…?" Tsuna asked a bit nervously.

Yamamoto smiled and put his hands behind his head "I don't mind. We need one more person in our group, so why not!" Gokudera nodded "I don't mind either. If that is what Tsuna-sama wants then I'll happily agree!" Gokudera added.

"R-Really?" Tsuna said and received another pair of nods "Thank you."

Yamamoto smiled once more "No problem." He said and turned around "I'll tell Sensei and see what she says!" And with that said Yamamoto walked over to Haruka-sensei.

Yamamoto and Haruka-sensei talk for a bit until she nodded, agreeing with Yamamoto. She then walked to the groups of girls that surrounded Giotto, who were still fight over whose team he's going to be in.

"I'm sorry, ladies, but Vongola-san isn't going to be in any of your teams." Haruka-sensei said, which brought a bit of hope towards Giotto and disappointment towards the female classmates. "He already has a team. That is if you agree, Vongola-san."

"W-Whose in my team?" Giotto asked nervous on who his possible teammates might be.

Haruka-sensei smiled "Those three over there." She said and gestured towards Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto, who were talking happily with one another.

The scene made Giotto a tad frustrated seeing those two so friendly with Tsuna, but that soon disappeared when Tsuna looked over at his direction and cutely smiled and waved at him, which made Giotto's lips form a smile and wave back.

Giotto turned to his teacher and nodded "I'd like to be in their team."

"Then it's settled, you'll be in Yamamoto's team." Haruka-sensei said and turned to the girls still around him. "Ladies, you'll have to look for someone else to be your last teammate." The girls nodded in defeat and left. "Vongola-san, why don't you go meet your teammates. Everyone will be sitting with their teammates anyway when everyone's done."

Giotto nodded and went towards the three, or two in this case. Tsuna left saying he had to go to the bathroom.

"It's nice to meet you, my name's Giotto." Giotto politely greeted.

Yamamoto smiled "It's nice to meet you too! My name's Yamamoto Takeshi, you can call me Yamamoto though." Yamamoto introduced himself.

"Gokudera Hayato." Gokudera said

"So Yamamoto and Gokudera... I'll be sure to remember that." Giotto said and smiled. "It a pleasure to work with you."

A few minutes after introducing themselves to each other, Tsuna came back. The four of them then started to chat with one another until everyone had found a team of 4. When everyone was done and Haruka-sensei had written everyone's teams down, she started to talk again.

"Alright, now that everyone has a team, let move onto the festival. As always you'll be competing against each other, but this time you'll be competing against the other classes like Nezu-sensei's class." Haruka-sensei said "And to make sure that you'll try, I'll give you a reward. For the teams that win first place against the other classes I'll raise your grade up by one letter." With just that sentence the room was filled with excited and energetic whispers form the students.

The prize didn't seem to interest Giotto that much, after all, he does have a good grade in the class. He turned to Tsuna to see what he thought of it and was surprised on how happy Tsuna looked with the prize.

Tsuna turned to Giotto "Giotto-san, let's do our best!" He said and smiled brightly.

Giotto felt his cheeks start to warm up from the smile, but quickly covered it "O-Of course, I'll make sure we win!"

Tsuna nodded, and for the rest of the class time the students listened to Haruka-sensei's explanation to the Sport's Festival, such as the rules and what they could expect from it. By the time class ended she had explained everything.

Tsuna was about to leave with Yamamoto and Gokudera, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Giotto.

"Is something wrong?" Tsuna asked

"Huh? No, not exactly wrong, but… from the past times I've talk to you… I never did get your name." Giotto said "So may I please know your name?"

Tsuna blinked and then realized that Giotto was right. He never gave his name to Giotto.

'Should I give him my name?' Tsuna thought 'I don't think it'll hurt… and this may be a way for him to remember. I already decided I'd help him remember.'

Tsuna smiled "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. My name's Sawada Tsunayoshi." Tsuna said and held out his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Giotto-san"

Giotto took his hand and shook it and smiled back "It's alright. It's nice to meet you too, Tsunayoshi-kun."

After finally being introduced to each other, Giotto and Tsuna were about to leave until Tsuna remembered something this time.

"Ah, that's right!" Tsuna said and went back to Giotto before he left. "Giotto-san, do you eat with anyone during lunch?"

"Hm? No, I don't. I usually keep to myself. Why?" Giotto asked curiously.

"W-Well, I was wondering if you'd l-like to eat with me and my friends during lunch." Tsuna said, and quickly added "That is, if you want to."

Giotto was surprised with the invitation, but still smiled and nodded "I'd love to eat lunch with you." He said.

"R-Really?" Tsuna asked happily, which was replied with another nod. "Alright, we eat lunch at the rooftop."

"Okay, I'll be sure to be there. Bye, Tsunayoshi-kun." Giotto said

"Bye, Giotto-san!" Tsuna said and the two went to their next class.

For the next few days, while everyone was getting ready for the Sport's Festival, Giotto ate with Tsuna, Yamamoto and Gokudera.

Yamamoto didn't mind that Giotto ate with them. He was actually happy that Tsuna was getting to know his childhood friend again and that he (Yamamoto) would be able to get to know Giotto too, but Gokudera was a slightly different story.

At first, Gokudera was annoyed at Giotto. He already had to deal with a Happy-Go-Lucky person and he didn't want to deal with another one, but after a few days, Gokudera had accepted Giotto being with them. Main reason is because Tsuna seemed much happier now than before. If someone was able to make Tsuna happy then they were okay in his book, or at least tolerable.

As the days went by, the Sport's Festival was getting closer, which made everyone very excited, everyone except Giotto though. On the contrary, it made Giotto very tired. Reason being that his Gym Teacher kept making him and the rest of his classmates work out more so they could be ready for the Sport's Festival.

Usually Giotto would be able to handle the extra work, but not today. No, today Giotto accidentally ran into Hibari when he was late for his English class, so he had to deal with another hour of trying to run away and dodging attacks from Hibari. What made it worse was that Gym was after his English class, so that made him extra tired.

Giotto really envied Tsuna, Yamamoto and Gokudera for having the same class time, but a different Gym Teacher... Unlike his class, their class was just sitting around relaxing.

After Gym, Giotto was panting like a dog on a hot day. Luckily for him, lunch was after Gym so he was able to take a 45 minute break.

He walked to the roof with Tsuna, Yamamoto and Gokudera. Once they were there, Giotto sat on Tsuna's left side, while Gokudera sat on the right side with Yamamoto beside him.

The four of them ate their lunches. When everyone was finished with their lunch, the four of them started talking about their classes and the Sport's Festival. Well, Tsuna, Yamamoto and Gokudera were talking. Giotto was trying to hold onto his senses. The tiredness he has received all throughout the day has finally caught up with him and is making him sleepy.

Not being able to stay awake anymore, Giotto's eyes slipped close and he started to lean towards his right and his head landed on something very comfortable. As Giotto was falling asleep, he heard a faint shriek and few side comments.

A 5 year old Giotto was sleeping outside on the house's backyard porch. After a few minutes he started to show small signs that he was starting to wake up, but his eyes remained closed. As Giotto was slowly regaining his consciousness, the small pitter-patter of feet started to get louder and closer.

The backyard's door gently swung open and the unknown boy from before came out. The boy started to look around for a moment until his sight was set on Giotto.

He walked to Giotto's side and when he was close enough he sat on his knees beside Giotto.

The young boy giggled "Gio-nii, you have to wake up! If you stay asleep you're going to miss lunch!" He said and gently shook Giotto.

A few seconds later, Giotto's eyes opened and his sight turned to face the other boy, but still remained lying on the ground. There was a moment of silence until Giotto smiled.

"Hey -*-*-, I think I might be dead." Giotto said.

"Eh?! Why?!" The other boy asked worried and a bit curious.

"Because I see an angel right in front of me." Giotto said happily.

The other boy tilted his head "An angel? Where?"

Giotto smiled once more "You of course. You're an angel, aren't you?"

The younger boy blushed "G-Gio-nii, w-w-what are you t-talking about! I'm n-not an a-angel!"

Giotto's smiled widened and he sat up "Are you sure? You look like an angel! A cute angel I might add."

The boy pouted and looked down, trying to hide his blush "Baka Gio-nii…" He mumbled, but was still heard by Giotto.

Giotto laughed "Alright, I'll stop. What did you need anyway?"

The boy looked up and smiled "Mama said that lunch is ready, so it's time to eat!"

Giotto nodded and got up "That's good to hear. I'm actually hungry right now."

The younger boy got up too and giggled "Gio-nii's hungry, but all you've done is sleep!"

Giotto smiled "Well, I'm a growing child, and I need food!" He said and then an idea popped into his mind. "Race you, -*-*-. Ready, set, GO!" He said the last part quickly and ran inside leaving the other boy on the porch.

The boy pouted when he realized what had happened "Gio-nii, that's cheating!" He exclaimed and ran inside after the young blonde.

Tsuna was talking with Yamamoto and Gokudera until he felt a sudden weight on his lap. He looked down and saw Giotto.

Tsuna blushed "Hiiieee! Giotto-san?!" Tsuna shrieked in surprised, 'Gio-nii is on my lap! What do I do? What do I do?!' Tsuna mentally panicked and then noted that the blonde was asleep and looked very much tired. Tsuna was a bit sad to see that Giotto was asleep. He thought that Giotto had done it because of the fact that they did this when they were kids.

While staring at the sleeping Giotto, Tsuna remembered that he wasn't alone. He turned to his friends and saw an annoyed Gokudera and a happy Yamamoto.

Gokudera was the first to speak.

"Damn bastard, taking advantage of Tsuna-sama!" Gokudera said angrily "Don't worry, Tsuna-sama, I'll get him off you!"

"I-It's alright, Gokudera! I don't really mind! When we were little, we used to do this all the time!" Tsuna said trying to calm Gokudera down. "And besides, Giotto looks really tired, so why not let him sleep until the bell rings, okay?"

"If Tsuna-sama says so" Gokudera said after calming down.

With that said the three continued their conversation from before. Occasionally they'd stop and relax. Well, Gokudera and Yamamoto did during those times, Tsuna was having fun playing with Giotto's silky blonde hair and sometimes caressing his cheek.

They sat on the roof for a little over 25 minutes until the 2 minute warning bell for lunch had rung.

When that happened Gokudera and Yamamoto got up, while Tsuna turned his attention towards the blonde on his lap.

Tsuna gently shook Giotto "Giotto-san, wake up. Lunch is almost over." Tsuna said

Giotto turned in his sleep, trying to regain consciousness 'It's so comfortable here… So warm and soft…' Giotto thought and opened his eyes to see Tsuna staring at him. Usually he would react to this, but he's in a drowsy stated and he was enchanted on how Tsuna looks. With the sun shining down, it made Tsuna glow and stand out in a pretty way. It also emphasized his innocence... Tsuna looked like an angel…

"An angel..." Giotto quietly mumbled and remembered a certain part of his dream memory, while at the same time missing Tsuna widen his eyes in surprise, yet at the same time in happiness.

"Because I see an angel right in front of me." Giotto said happily.

The other boy tilted his head "An angel? Where?"

Giotto smiled once more "You of course. You're an angel, aren't you?"

The younger boy blushed "G-Gio-nii, w-w-what are you t-talking about! I'm n-not an a-angel!"

Giotto's smiled widened and he sat up "Are you sure? You look like an angel! A cute angel I might add."

'A cute angel suits him quite well…' Giotto thought as he continued to stare at Tsuna, who's cheeks turned red from the being called an angel and from Giotto staring at him for too long. That was when Giotto finally realized where and what he was doing.

… He was lying down… His head using Tsuna's lap for a pillow…

First reaction, Giotto blushed and quickly got off of Tsuna in embarrassment and shock.

"U-Um… H-Ho-How…? W-W-Why…?" Giotto stuttered embarrassed and confusion.

Tsuna giggled at Giotto's reaction "You fell asleep and then landed on my lap."

Giotto hung his head in embarrassment "I-I'm sorry…" He really doesn't want Tsuna to hate him.

Tsuna shook his head "I don't mind. You looked tired, so it's okay." Tsuna said "I'm glad you're more awake now."

"T-Thank you then." Giotto said not very sure on what to say. He was a little happy that the brunet wasn't mad or something at him. 'Though he is right. I feel a lot better, refreshed actually. And… it felt quite nice to lay on his lap... It was so very comfortable. I wouldn't mind sleeping on it again...' Realizing what he had just thought of, Giotto shook his head to ward off any more thoughts, while a blush spread through his cheeks. 'I-I should really stop thinking now…'

Thankfully for Giotto the lunch bell rang, which met an end to his embarrassment and possible humiliation of himself.

Quickly composing himself, Giotto got up from where he sat "That's the lunch bell, we should get to class." He said and held out a hand towards Tsuna to help him up.

"Yeah" Tsuna said and took Giotto's hand. "See you tomorrow, Giotto-san!" he said and left with Yamamoto and Gokudera to their next class.

"Bye, Tsunayoshi-kun!" Giotto replied and watched the brunet and his friends leave the rooftop. Giotto stayed there for a second to calm himself a little more before leaving too.

As he was walking towards his next class, Giotto noticed something from before.

'Tsunayoshi-kun… kind of reminds me of the boy from my memory… but they can't be the same person… right...?'

Meanwhile, Tsuna and his friends were chatting on each other their way to their next class, but Tsuna didn't pay much attention to the conversation. He was replaying what happened on the roof when Giotto started to woke up.

'He remembered... or at least I think he did.' Tsuna thought happily that his first love had called him his very familiar nickname from when they were kids.

A 4 year old Tsuna was munching on his food, while a 5 year old Giotto was sitting next to him, also eating.

"You still mad?" Giotto asked when he finished his meal.

Tsuna looked away from him with a small pout on his face. "Yes. Gio-nii cheated."

"Aww! Please don't be mad, my little angel!" Giotto shouted, while hugging Tsuna.

Tsuna blushed at the nickname. "G-Gio-nii! I told you I'm not a angel!"

"Come on, Tsuna! You know you don't have to lie to me! I know you're an angel because if you weren't then how could you be so impossibly cute and innocent!" Giotto said and slightly tightened his hug.

Tsuna's blush darkened from the comments "I'm not cute!" He argued

"Yes, you are!" Giotto replied

"No, I'm not!" Tsuna continued to say, resulting in both of them arguing whether Tsuna was cute or not.

They continued to argue until a woman with long brown hair and brown colored eyes came into the room.

"Gio-kun, Tsu-kun!" The brunet woman called gaining the attention the two children's attention. "Gio-kun's mother is here, so it's time for Gio-kun to go."

"Alright" Giotto said and walked towards the door of the room, but stopped to say good bye to Tsuna. "See you tomorrow, my cute little angel!" He said and then left the house with his mother, while Tsuna blushed even harder from embarrassment.

"Baka Gio-nii" Tsuna mumbled to himself still a little embarrassed from the nickname, but he still smiles. "Thank you..."

A/n: .Why do I feel as though this story will turn out short...? Weird...

Dianashine: Over the years, Giotto's memory of his childhood with Tsuna started to fade. It also didn't help that all his pictures of Tsuna were lost, so pretty much he didn't have anything to remind him of Tsuna. Yes, he loves Tsuna. I don't know about love rivial. I don't think there will be one in this story, but if there is it won't be a love rival, but something of a misunderstanding. I don't know. I'm not sure yet.

Natsu Yuuki: No, I don't think Giotto will be going back to Italy. He's going to stay in Namimori.
