CHAPTER 4
Tsuna shows a few of his soulmarks.
After an hour of the children getting to know one another, the teacher dismisses them for break time. Old friends and new friends gathered around to eat with one another, and those who hadn't been able to make a friend went off to eat by themselves. Tsuna, on the other hand, got dragged off to who knows where by his newfound soulmate and her other soulmate.
It's only when he sees the pink symbol of a girl on the very top of a doorway that Kyoko and Hana were just about to drag him through does he start to struggle. It takes a few minutes for Tsuna to submit to the girls' whims, and he dejectedly follows them into the comfort room meant for girls only.
"W-Why are we h-here?" Tsuna asks, flushing a bright red when his gaze drifts off to an open cubicle meant for girls. He squirms uncomfortably, because even though he's been to girl comfort rooms before to accompany his mother, he hasn't been in one by himself.
Kyoko leans closer to him, her yellow eyes glittering, and Tsuna leans back, feeling a little bit wary and cautious of the feline look that Kyoko's face adopts. "Because I want to see it," she says, giggling innocently.
Tsuna tilts his head to the side at her words, bemused. "See w-what?" he questions with a furrow of his eyebrows.
Kyoko responds by clasping her hands together in front of her chest and beaming quite brightly. "My words, of course!" She exclaims with jazz hands, and Tsuna's eyes widen in either surprise, or at how adorable Kyoko looks right now. "I want to see where I marked you!" She explains, bouncing on the heel of her feet and practically jittering in place.
"O-Oh," Tsuna stutters out, rubbing his left wrist where her words are. His gaze moves to Hana, and he squirms uncomfortably for a moment underneath her intense gaze before he sighs and gives up, rolling up his left sleeve until it stops underneath Kyoko's pretty words on his skin, and he shows it to them.
Kyoko doesn't hesitate when she holds his hand in hers, inspecting her words with bright yellow eyes. Tsuna blushes deeply, because this is his first time holding a girl's hands besides his mother's, and he's deeply embarrassed about it.
"I like the color," Kyoko murmurs as she traces her handwriting on his skin, and Tsuna twitches at the ticklish sensation. Even Hana, despite her maturity, can't help but look in wonder at his soulmark.
Tsuna tenses up when she feels his finger travel downwards towards his palm, but he doesn't say a single word when she inspects his palm and sees the bright red Tsunayoshi Sawada emblazoned upon it. He merely stays quiet, waiting for her reaction to it, but he hopes that she wouldn't mind the other words on his skin.
"Who owns this?" Kyoko asks in a small whisper, and Tsuna tries his best to ignore the feeling of Hana's fingers tracing the words on his palm as he tries to come up with an answer.
"I-I haven't met them yet," Tsuna stutters out, nervously biting his bottom lip afterwards.
Kyoko doesn't say anything after that, and she merely goes back into inspecting her words on his wrist. "How many do you have?" She asks instead, lifting her gaze up to look at him.
Tsuna doesn't know if the reason for why his heart beats is because of Kyoko being his soulmate or because a very pretty girl is looking up at him with such a cute expression. "I..." Tsuna hesitates, swallowing the imaginary lump that had accumulated in his throat. "I have a lot," was all he'd offered.
Kyoko stares at him unblinkingly for one very long moment that makes him shift from foot to foot; then, finally, she tears her gaze off of him and pulls her hands away from his, taking a step back.
Tsuna flinches, thinking that he'd done something wrong, but before he could say something to cover up for his mistake, Kyoko speaks up, asking him one question he'd never thought of asking anyone else before.
"Do you want to see my marks?"
