Present Day

Tsuna glared at Reborn. Something was nagging at him and his Hyper Intuition… Something about Reborn...

Hands on both sides of his head, he began mussing his hair in frustration. "GAAAH!"

Reborn merely smirked as he hopped into his hammock and slept.

Tsuna slept uneasily that night. His Hyper Intuition would not let him relax. He knew there was something going on… and he knew it involved Reborn… or Rebboku…

3:00 am. Tsuna's eyes flashed open in comprehension. "Reborn!" Rushing to get out of bed, Tsuna ended up tangled in his bed sheets with his arms flailing.

Reborn watched in amusement.

Flustered ad frustrated, Tsuna stopped fighting his bed sheets. Looking up at Reborn he accused, "Y- You are Re- Rebboku!"

The Sky Arcabaleno jumped from his hammock, and hit Tsuna over the head with a mallet shaped Leon. "Dame-Tsuna, took you long enough."

Uncomfortable, Tsuna awoke at the sound of his alarm clock. His head throbbing in pain, he rose from the floor and silenced his alarm clock. Looking for his Tutor, he realized Reborn was again missing.

Shaking his head and readying himself for school, is revelation slowly came back to him. 'Reborn is Rebboku! Rebboku wants to marry my mom!'

Hands on both sides of his head, he began mussing his hair in confusion and concern. "UGHHH!"

While Tsuna was at school, Adult Reborn met with his prospective matchmaker and outlined his plans.

Gokudera and Yamamoto walked Tsuna home from school. While Gokudera was his usual violent and boisterous self, Yamamoto seemed extra quiet.

Outside of Tsuna's home, Gokudera excused himself, "Juudaime, I am sorry that I can't stay. I will make it up to you!" and ran off.

Yamamoto raised his arm behind his head, and spoke sheepishly, "Um, Tsuna," while scratching his neck. "My old man wanted to me to invite you and your mom over for dinner."

Being that it was Yamamoto, Tsuna thought nothing of it and agreed to ask his mom. Soon after, Yamamoto headed home.

Taking a steadying breath, Tsuna entered his home. "Mom, I'm home!" Tsuna announced as he entered the main room. Lambo and I-Pin ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. Tsuna followed them.

In the kitchen, Bianchi was talking with his mom while his mom started organizing ingredients for dinner. "Bianchi, we don't have enough rice and leeks for tonight's dinner, would you mind running to the store for me?"

"I want to go!" Lambo started tugging on Bianchi.

"I-Pin, too!" she shouted to be heard over the little cow.

Not long after the trio left, the doorbell rang. Upon answering the door, he found Adult Reborn standing there with a bouquet of white and red tulips.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, I have come for you answer. I brought with me a gift for Nana-chan."

Tsuna swallowed and motioned for Reborn to enter. Reborn entered and continued to the kitchen.

"Nana-chan, I brought these for you." As Reborn handed the bouquet to her, he tipped down his fedora. Under the brim of his hat he observed Tsuna fidgeting by the table.

Nana blushed as she took the tulips from Reborn. "Th- thank you. Ren-kun. I need to find a vase for these. Please excuse me."

Nana didn't flee the kitchen, but she did leave quickly.

Tsuna sat across from Reborn. Scared but determined to protect his mother, Tsuna took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Head down and hands fisted in his lap, he began, "Reb- Rebboku-san, I c- can't allow you to d- date, I mean, court my mother…"

Reborn's eyes narrowed at Tsuna. Under the table his finger was tapping on Leon's trigger.

Oblivious to Reborn's glare, Tsuna continued. "If you're g- going to l- leave her an- and m- me."

Eyes widening slightly in shock Reborn let go of Leon, who transformed and returned to his favorite spot on Reborn's fedora.

Encouraged by Reborn's silence, Tsuna's voice gained strength. Opening his eyes he slowly looked up at Reborn. "Iemistu lied to her. He left her alone. He made her CRY!"

Tears forming in his eyes, Tsuna paused to wipe them away. "If you want to marry my mom, she has to come first. Not me. Not the Vongola. Not the MAFIA!"

"Dame-Tsuna…" Reborn started.

"NO! Reborn, ah Rebboku, you have to tell her the truth about you, the curse, the mafia. All of it. I don't want my mom hurt again!" Over come with emotion, Tsuna stood abruptly… and bumped the table.

The table shifted, spilling Reborn's espresso onto Tsuna's legs. "HIEEE!"

Reborn stood slowly, restraining himself from disciplining his student. "Fine. I will bring the matchmaker tomorrow."

Notes and Answers to Questions/Comments:

(1) Assuming Yuni was 10 in the future, Aria was 20 in the present, and Luce was 20 when she became an Arcabaleno that puts the Arcabaleno has having been babies for 20 years. Assuming Reborn was also 20 when he became an Arcabaleno, he would be 40 now. Since Nana is 34, she would have been 14 when she last knew Reborn/Ren and no more than 19 when she married Iemitsu. (Most of these ages are from the wiki, some are adjusted for this story.)

(2) White tulips symbolize forgiveness, while red are a declaration of love.
