"The Kraken?"
"Yup! The Kraken!"
"Whoa, whoa, wait." Tsuna moved his hands to his temples, lightly putting pressure on them. He pinned a weary, disbelieving look at the boy resting his head on his lap.
"What you're telling me is that your childhood fear was the Kraken?"
"Haha! That's right!"
"Why?"
"Why wouldn't it be?" Yamamoto stared up at Tsuna, his smile half amused at his reaction and half strained at the memory of his fear.
"I mean, think about it! It was this giant octopus that ate people alive! I used to think that whenever my old man would bring home an octopus for his nigiri, the octopus would suddenly spring to life with rows of razor teeth ready to eat us!"
Yamamoto laughed and Tsuna could only sigh with a smile.
