Thank you very much for helping and/ or reviewing!
Ok so from what I've read by the reviews. Yukatas are for both men and women. Its just that male Yukatas are simpler than female Yukatas, and that there are 1 piece Yukatas for men and 2 piece Yukatas for women. Also that they have different obi's and possibly different material too. Again thank you to those who helped! With this info i can try to imagine how Tsuna's Yukata will be -With possible problems. Some people many know what I'm going to do- Hahaha it's going to be fun, well to me.
Okay back on track! Without further ado~ Chapter 8! Enjoy~

Chapter 8: Date Preparation and Women's Intuition
After leaving the Sawada residence Giotto calmly went to his house. The only thing going through his mind during the short walk was about his date with Tsuna. When he arrived at his house a thought occurred to him.
'Today was Saturday and the festival will be here in two days counting today. So...then the festival would be on Monday.' Giotto froze and started to panic a bit 'Damn it! I have to go to work that day! And who knows how long that'll take! There has to be some way so I can be with Tsunayoshi at the festival!'
Giotto thought for a moment. He was pondering the possibilities on what he could do to get out of work 'Let's see... I could call in sick but then G or someone will surely check on me and see that I was fine so that wouldn't work... Faking an injury wouldn't work either... What can I do...?'
While thinking of solutions for his problem Giotto walked towards his living room and sat on one of the couches. He was in a deep thought for about 10 minutes until his phone brought him back to reality. He took out his phone from his pocket and looked to see who it was. It was G. At first he was just going to ignore the call but then G would probably scold, or most likely yell, at him or make him do more paper work for not answering him. Giotto was not going to take that chance so he answered his phone.
"Hello? Giotto speaking"
"Giotto where are you? You never came back to the cafe."
"I'm at home. I found Tsunayoshi and brought him home too."
"Did anything happen to the kid?"
"Well... he did run into some trouble, but let's just say I took care of it." Giotto said while a dark aura surrounded him as he remembered what happened a while ago "He's fine now though, but I'm surprised. I never thought you were going to ask if Tsunayoshi was alright."
"Shut up, I ask because everyone was concerned, but then again I'm sure you wouldn't let him get hurt. Something happens to the kid and you'll go crazy."
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?"
"Who knows"
The conversation went silent, but in that silence Giotto thought of a way so he could spend time with Tsuna during the festival, instead of going to work.
"Hey...G, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"If I finish what must be done on Monday before it comes, then came I have the day off?"
"Let me guess you want to have Monday off because you want to spend your time with Tsuna."
"That's the plan, so can I?"
"Let me see... On Monday you have 2 meetings about the company, but we can easily reschedule them. You also have to do some paperwork for the company. I guess if you finish the paper work for Monday I'll let you have Monday off."
"Really? Wait, how much paperwork?"
"Not as much as usually. I'll e-mail the work to you in a bit. When you're done you have to give it back to me, or bring it to the company. The work also has to be in paper form."
"Alright, thank you G. Is there anything else?"
"Nope, that's pretty much it. Unless you have something else you need."
"I'm fine, but when will I receive the paperwork? Aren't you still at the cafe?"
"Nope, after you left, we finished our food and left home. We were going to go after you, but as I said before I trust that you wouldn't let anything happen to Tsuna."
"Oh I see, so I can expect the paper work soon?"
"Yeah, it'll just take me a few minutes and then you'll have it, but I want to make this clear. The paper work must be done neatly and nicely. You better not just sign everything without even looking at it. Remember these papers are important. I'm also going to be checking your work. If I notice something's wrong then I'll drag you back to the office, even if you're with Tsuna."
Giotto sighed "Ok I understand, I'll do my best. Thanks for the help G, Bye."
Giotto hung up and lay down on the couch for a moment. He was thinking on how to complete the paper work. He had today and tomorrow to finish the paperwork. If what G said about it being less than the usual amount then he was sure he would be able to do it. With that thought Giotto went to his study to see if G had sent him his paperwork.
Giotto turned on his computer and opened up his e-mail. Just like G said, he e-mailed all the paperwork Giotto had to do, but what saddens Giotto was the amount he had gotten. What G said was true, the paperwork was less than the usual but that didn't that it was a little. Usually Giotto would get stacks of paper because of repairs, the growth of the company, or just some random bills. The number of papers would be around in the 200's–maybe– but then again he never really did count.
Giotto sighed at the paperwork, but neither the less started to print them out to sign and complete them. A few minutes later he got a call from his beloved Tsuna about dinner. He refused. However that didn't mean that he didn't want to go eat with Tsuna and Nana. No, he really did want to go, but with the paperwork G sent him it wasn't going to happen. He needed to finish it fast so he could possibly have some of Sunday to rest and that he can insure that he will be with Tsuna during the festival. With that in mind Giotto continued, or started, to work again on the possible 100's of papers.
~Sawada Residence~
After their nice hamburger dinner, Tsuna and his mother started to clean the table and dishes. Once done with their clean up session, they both went back to the table to discuss Tsuna's Yukata design.
"So, Tsu-kun what color do you want your Yukata to be?" Nana asked
"Hm...I'm guessing my first choice would be a white Yukata with orange little designs on it." Tsuna answered "Or maybe a little blue color with little white designs. I'm guessing one of those two."
Nana nodded "I see. Do you have a particular design that you want me to find?"
"No, I never thought about the actual designs, I just thought about the colors. I guess I'll let you pick which one would be best for me Kaa-san."
"Ok, is there anything else you need?" She asked again
"Hmm..." Tsuna took a second to think 'I think that's it, but I have the feeling I'm forgetting something... but what? All I needed was a Yukata...So what else do I need?' Tsuna was stuck in his thoughts for a minute before remembering what he needed 'that's right! It's a festival I need some money to buy snacks and maybe a souvenir. I can't let Giotto buy this stuff for me! It'd be selfish! He's doing his own work so I need to do some too!'
"Umm... Kaa-san... I was wondering could I get some money by doing some chores around the house for today and tomorrow. So I could have some money for the festival. I mean it'd be selfish of me to ask Giotto to buy me things. I'd feel guilty if he paid for me." Tsuna said to his mother.
Nana smiled and nodded her head "I understand, I'll give you some small jobs to do for today and tomorrow. If I see that you're trying your best with each job then I'll give you some money for the festival."
"Really, Kaa-san? Thank you!" Tsuna got up and hugged his mother "I won't let you down!"
"I know you won't Tsu-kun. Now your first job is to clean your room. When you're done you can call me so I can check. After its clean I want you to vacuum around the house. Then when you done with that I'll give you some lemonade and you can call it a day ok?"
"Hai" Tsuna said and went up to his room. Once he got there he started to clean. It wasn't a hard job. He started by collecting all the clothes that were scattered around his room and putting them in a basket to out in the laundry. He then started to pick up the trash and throw them in a bag he got from his mother. When he finished the floor he did his bed and cleaned up his desk and other things he had. It took at least 2 hours to clean his room. Tsuna could have finished sooner but between the times he kept slacking off and/or spacing out. After he finished he called him mother to check on the room. Nana seemed pleased with the room and told him he could start to vacuum around the house now.
As Tsuna was vacuuming he was daydreaming of how the festival was going to be. He hasn't gone to a festival in a long time so he was trying to remember what to expect. He thought about the times where he ate caramel apples, saw fireworks, and played some little games like the scooping fish one. He wondered if the festivals now were still the same as they were before.
'Maybe they have new games...'Tsuna thought 'I hope the festival is going to be fun... Now that I think about the festival, will Giotto be wearing a Yukata too? I would think he would but then again he's from Italy so there's a chance that he won't. I guess I'll find out later during the festival.'
While Tsuna was in his own little world he was unable to notice that he had already finished vacuuming the floors. He kept vacuuming until Nana noticed that Tsuna was too much in space to know what was going on.
"Tsu-kun, wake up. You're done cleaning for today." She said
"Huh? I am?" Tsuna said while still vacuuming
"Yup, here have some lemonade now and take it easy. I'll put the vacuum away and later I'll get a snack ready for both of us." She said. She gave her son a glass of lemonade and went to put the vacuum away.
Tsuna took a sip of the lemonade and sighed 'I'm thinking too much over the festival. I should try to relax a bit. The festival is on Monday and Kaa-san is helping me get something to where to it so I should stop thinking so much.'
After finishing his drink Tsuna went to his room and jumped on his bed. He shifted on the bed until he was comfortable. He then stared at the ceiling out of boredom, not really having anything to do.
"Being...in love...is confusing..." Tsuna said right before he fell asleep, not noticing someone was listening.
Outside his room Tsuna's mother stood with a soft smile on her face. She stood there for a few seconds and then left to the kitchen to prepare Tsuna and her a snack for later.
Nana giggled "Tsu-kun in love~" She sang "Though he tried his best to hide it. I know its Giotto-kun~"
She smiled; Nana knew from the start that Tsuna liked Giotto. You can call it woman's intuition or the fact that she was able to notice the blush on her son's face when it came to something Giotto related things-well after the their first kiss that she didn't know about. She was happy that he son found someone to love; especially sense it was Giotto. To her Giotto was a fine partner for him. She knows for a fact that Giotto will take very good care of Tsuna. After all she also knows that Giotto is a responsible young man that wouldn't let Tsuna, or anyone for that matter, down.
"I have to make sure to get him a really cute Yukata~" Nana said to herself and continued to finish the snacks for later.
A/N:Haha Nana found out! She isn't oblivious like most people think she is! By the way sorry if this chapter was kind of boring to some people. I just thought I should put this to show what they are doing for the festival. Next chapter I think will be more entertaining and fun! For the festival is to come! ~Possible time skip will happen~ Until then, bye!~
