CHAPTER 7
Nana hears about her son's day.
For a single mother like herself, Nana knows about almost everything about her beloved little son. From little things such as his fondness for stuffed toys and his hatred for spinach, to the big things such as his adversity with stairs and his obvious shame with the many marks littered upon his body, Nana knows every single one of them. So the moment she sees her son, having just gotten off of a swing to run towards the school gates where she'd just arrived by, she'd instantly noticed the change in her baby boy.
"Mama!" Tsuna exclaimed as he glued himself to her side, little hands clutching her skirt. Nana smiles affectionately at her son—always so cling and protective of her, just like his father. "You're late!" He accused, puffing his cheeks and making them all go red.
Nana runs her fingers through his hair, savoring the soft locks caressing the insides of her fingers. "Sorry, Tsu-kun. Mama spent a little bit too much time in the garden and lost track of time," she told him, and Tsuna merely pouted at her, to which she smiled brilliantly at the adorable sight her son made. "Now, why don't we go home so that you can eat those biscuits you've been wanting to eat since yesterday?" She softly asks him, and Tsuna's face brightens at that.
"Ok!" He said, and slipped his hand into hers as they turned around and began making their trek back home.
They're seated on the dining table, with Tsuna going through his second pack of biscuits and Nana's hands wrapped around her second cup of jasmine tea, when her son brings up a topic that only she's used before.
"I had fun at school, mama," he says it so nonchalantly, but Nana catches the brightness in his eyes. "Today was the best day ever!" He exclaims with such enthusiasm that makes Nana wonder what had happened at school today.
Nana doesn't hesitate to voice out her confusion, despite the deduced knowledge that her son has made a friend today, because he's never had a friend before and this is the first time she's seen him so happy coming home from school. Or ever.
"I made two friends, mama!" He tells her, holding up two fingers and looking proud for getting the number right.
Nana's smile merely widens, and just as she's about to tell how happy she is for him, he cuts her off by continuing.
"And I met one of my soulmates today!"
It takes her a moment to process his words. A very short moment, might she add. But it takes her even longer to conjure words through the shock encasing her head and not to mention the gears in her voicebox are refusing to work.
It takes her three whole minutes to utter out a word, but even that's stretching the truth a little too much. Rephrasing her earlier statement, it takes Nana three whole minutes to utter a syllable.
"E-Eh?"
