A/N: Yay, another chapter! This happens a little bit after the last chapter, so yeah… More characters are introduced as well as more OCs! Yay kiddy OCs! I'm sure you'll love them even though I have no idea where the heck they came from. I wasn't really planning on making more kid OCs but when the idea popped up in my head I just had to put them there. Curse the idea elephants…
Warnings for sexy times between our adorable Tsuna and hot manly man Kyouya! Get ready to squee fangirls (and possibly boys)! XD
The training room echoed with the sounds of metal hitting against metal, grunts of exertion, and the soft whooshing of summoned flames. Tsuna, with his eyes a bright orange and his sky flame flickering upon his forehead, was instructing Cielo how to maintain and control his own flames. The mafia boss had finished his paperwork much earlier then he expected and when he caught wind of his husband and children being down in the training rooms, he decided to join them for a little family time.
While Tsuna and Cielo worked together, Kyouya and Nuvola were sparring, the young girl looking like she was giving her old man a run for his money. She was expertly wielding her surujin and was able to block most of her father's attacks while countering with her own. To outside eyes it would seem that the father-daughter duo was trying to rip each other's heads off, but they were actually going easy on each other. They were sparring after all, not participating in a death match.
After an hour or so, Tsuna finally brought an end to the training.
"All right, it's almost dinner time," he said to his near exhausted children and barely rumpled husband. "Let's end for today. Cielo, Nuvola, go wash up now and meet us in the dining room."
"Yes Touchan," his two children chorused and they put away their weapons before racing out of the room, trying to trip the other up as they went. Tsuna shook his head at his children's antics and, after grabbing the suit jacket he discarded, followed them out of the training room with Kyouya at his wake.
After they took the elevator up to the manor proper, Cielo and Nuvola headed towards their room for a quick wash up and their parents went the opposite way to their own suite to do the same. As he walked, Tsuna could feel Kyouya's presence behind him, not as menacing as it used to be, but now a comforting warmth at his back. He knew that when Kyouya was there he and his children would be safe. It certainly took him a long time to get into that mindset and not get the feeling of impending doom at the sight of the former prefect.
Slipping past the sitting room and bedroom of his suite, Tsuna put away his suit in his walk-in closet and tossed all his soiled clothing into the laundry basket. Then, he strode confidently past a slightly stunned Kyouya, smirking when he felt eyes drift down his back to his unclad behind.
Can't really blame Tsuna for acting that way when he hadn't seen his spouse in weeks.
Slipping into the bathroom, Tsuna turned on the shower and stepped inside the stall, letting the hot water wash over his body, soothing his slightly aching muscles. He ran his hands through his hair, feeling the natural spikes droop down with the weight of the water. It was always nice to have a shower after a day of sitting on his ass doing paperwork followed by some flame training. He needed as much relaxation as he could get what with his stressful job and crazy family.
Still caught in his languid soaking, Tsuna barely heard the door to the shower stall slide open and close, but he definitely felt the tall presence that stepped up behind him and the large calloused hands that settled on his slim hips. Allowing a little smirk to grace his lips, Tsuna turned to face his lover.
"Hey," he said simply, bringing his hands up to loop loosely around Kyouya's neck.
"Hey," Kyouya replied, a small smile on his lips and affection in his eyes. Of course, the Cloud Guardian was never affectionate in front of other people, but when alone with his husband or children he was practically a teddy bear, which would be a great shock to anyone outside the family.
"Mission all done?" Tsuna asked mock-casually, twining his fingers in his husband's wet dark hair.
"Yes," his husband answered, pulling Tsuna closer but their bodies not yet touching.
Tsuna hummed in thought, his expression slowly turning calculating. "Nothing else to do?"
Smirking, Kyouya leaned his head closer to Tsuna's, glad that the mafia boss had grown taller and he didn't have to bend his head so low. "None at all."
Returning the smirk, Tsuna leaned his face even closer, feeling the warm moist breath exhaling from Kyouya's lips that were barely touching his. He too was glad of his growth spurts through his adolescence and now he was just as tall as Gokudera though he was still a few inches shy of Kyouya's height.
Tightening his hold on his husband's hair and allowing their chests to touch, Tsuna whispered, "Good," in a hot exhale against his lover's lips before he covered them with his own in a possessive kiss.
The kiss was hot and sloppy with too much tongue and nipping teeth, but it conveyed the emotions of both participants perfectly. The spouses had missed each other, missed their significant other's presence and missed the feel of each other's bodies. They both moaned low in their throats as their skin, slick with water, slid against each other, the friction occurring on their nipples causing little spikes of pleasure.
Their mouths broke apart for air, both of them panting heavily and their eyes glazed. Tsuna licked his lips, relishing in the taste of crisp earthy air and green tea and something distinctly Kyouya that he couldn't describe. To Kyouya, Tsuna tasted like something sweet and subtly bitter, a combination of flavors that never failed to excite him. Both flavors were so familiar, yet each time they tasted it, it almost felt brand new and exciting.
Kyouya swooped in again, catching his husband's lips for a fierce, nearly rough kiss before pulling away again. Tsuna whined at the separation, but it quickly turned into a moan when he felt his lover's mouth descend on his neck, licking and sucking and generally making a meal out of his skin. All Tsuna could do was pant and hold onto Kyouya as he felt his pleasure rise.
Pale hands slid behind Tsuna's hips to grip at firm round buttocks, causing the man in question to groan and buck his hips forwards. His groin met Kyouya's and Tsuna felt the expected hardness against his own arousal, hot and firm and pulsing slightly and oh it was good to feel it again…
Tsuna fell backwards against the tiled wall of the shower stall, pulling his husband with him. Kyouya followed, lifting his head to move to the other side of Tsuna's neck to continue his ministrations there while thrusting his hips against his lover's. Twin groans rang out in the stall at the delicious pleasure that spiked up their spines at the movement and soon there was a steady rhythm of thrusting and sucking and nipping that had both man feeling light-headed and desperate for release.
Soon Kyouya was reaching the brink, but he knew that he didn't want to be the first one to climax. Sneakily he dipped his fingers into the crevice of his husband's backside, lightly pressing against the puckered entrance. When Tsuna moaned loudly and bucked erratically against him, Kyouya smirked and pressed harder against the puckered flesh, nearly slipping inside.
"Ugh! K-Kyouya!"
Tsuna's vision nearly went white at his orgasm and he clung tightly onto his husband, vaguely noticing Kyouya thrusting harshly against him before his own release joined Tsuna's on their bellies and groins. The two lovers' bodies went slack against the wall once they emptied themselves, their legs shaking minutely beneath them, and they panted as they rode out their sexual high. Tsuna was the first to move, gently pushing Kyouya away from him and chuckling a bit at the slightly dazed look in his husband's eyes.
"Welcome back," he said through his chuckles as he leaned in for a chaste kiss.
Kyouya just smirked and returned the kiss.
Once they cleaned themselves up properly and pulled on some casual clothes (though to Kyouya casual meant white button-up shirt and black trousers), Tsuna and Kyouya made their way out of their room and down to the first floor of the mansion where the dining rooms were located. It was one of the informal dining rooms, the one that the family used, that they entered.
This one was sparsely yet tastefully decorated. The table was round with a lazy Susan, made of dark wood with matching hard back chairs, and was able to sit twelve people. A small golden chandelier hung above it, casting a warm light around the room and illuminating the five people gathered around the far end of the table.
"Hey, Lambo! I-Pin!" Tsuna exclaimed with a smile as he approached the little group. "And little Mei too. My, you've grown bigger!"
The five month old baby in Nuvola's arms looked up at Tsuna with wide hazel eyes, grinning around the chubby hand stuffed in her mouth. Nearby was I-Pin, Mei's mother, looking proud and affectionate of her daughter, and standing next to the young mother was her husband Lambo, who had ditched his signature stitched cow-hide coat and had gone casual for tonight.
It hadn't really surprised anyone when Lambo finally asked I-Pin out for a date once she was out of college and didn't have to focus on her studies anymore. They made a surprisingly good couple with I-Pin ready to knock sense into Lambo's thick head when he was being an idiot (which was still most of the time despite his maturity) and Lambo was there to help I-Pin be a little more loose and casual, since she was usually quite serious especially when she had her mind focused on one thing. They balanced each other out, like a real couple should, and still had fun along the way despite any mishaps and bumps on the road.
It was only when they were nearing thirty and were absolutely stable in everything (careers, finances, business ventures, etc) that I-Pin agreed to marry Lambo and not long after Mei was born. The former Chinese assassin didn't mind that they had a child so early because they had been together for so long anyway and they were stable enough to be able to support their child. And they also had a wonderful family at their backs, ready to be there if they needed any help. What more could they ask for?
"Aww, let me have a good look at you sweetheart," Tsuna cooed at Mei, reaching out to take her from his own daughter. Mei went willingly, squealing a little and kicking her tiny bootied feet as she was settled against her uncle's chest. Tsuna chuckled and kissed the five-month-old on the cheek, making nonsensical baby noises and cooing and generally being affectionate with the baby, who squealed and giggled back.
Kyouya watched the scene with shining eyes, remembering the times when Tsuna used to do that to a baby Nuvola and Cielo. He himself never really did that with his children, being a little awkward with them when they were babies, but he had to admit that they had been very adorable at that age.
"Ah, you've grown so big now," Tsuna said, bouncing Mei a little. "Is she starting to crawl yet?"
"Just about," I-Pin answered, smiling as she took Mei from Tsuna's arms. "Though she's starting to eat soft foods now."
Tsuna frowned. "I hope it's none of those processed baby foods."
I-Pin shook her head. "Oh no. I just boil some peas or squash or some such vegetable and then mash them. I wouldn't let those kinds of food near Mei."
As the two continued to talk about baby food, Kyouya and Lambo exchanged glances and eye rolls. Seriously, bring two mothers (well, in Tsuna's case it was father… er birth father…) together and they get started about babies and pregnancies and maybe even menstrual periods.
"So then you just pop the clutch and…"
What the hell? How did the talk about baby food turn into car talk?
"Okay! Well, dinner's going to be served soon," Nuvola thankfully cut in before Tsuna and I-Pin could turn their talk around again (perhaps to global warming now). "I think we should sit down now."
"Oh, you two are staying for dinner?" Tsuna asked as he took his regular seat at the (presumed) head of the table. Kyouya sat at his left with I-Pin at his right. Next to I-Pin was Mei, in a high chair that one of the maids brought out, and then Lambo. Nuvola and Cielo sat next to their father, shielding him from the other herbivores.
"Yeah, we're going to stay the night here too," Lambo spoke up in his usual bored drawl. "We'll be here for most of the day tomorrow too, but in the evening we're leaving for China."
Tsuna hummed in acknowledgement, before turning the talk around to more mundane things as they waited for their meal. Next to Kyouya, Nuvola was making faces at Mei across the table, who giggled and waved her chubby hands in the air as if it would bring the teen closer. Cielo watched with a slight smile, fiddling with the eating utensils sitting in front of him.
Kyouya himself was quiet throughout the whole thing, back straight, face blank, eyes looking a little bored. He was getting rather hungry and hoped that the chefs have made tonight's meal was something of the Asian variety. He had gotten used to eating Western food, but he still craved for the familiar taste of simple rice and miso soup. Risotto had nothing on that.
The dining room doors opened at that moment, turning everyone's attention to the silver-haired man that strolled in alongside a taller brunet man and a young boy (though he kind of looked like a girl) around the same age as Cielo. The boy was obviously Asian with his long black hair, round face, and almond shaped eyes, but his irises were a stunning shade of green that came from his European lineage. The boy was Alma Gokudera, Hayato's adopted son and practically Takeshi's as well even though it wasn't official.
"Good evening everyone!" Takeshi exclaimed with a grin, waving at the group at the table. "Ah, look Hayato! I-Pin and Lambo are here with Mei-chan! Aww, she's as adorable as always!"
"Hn, Yakyuu-baka," Hayato muttered though there was affection in his eyes as he said it.
Hayato and Takeshi had been together almost as long as Tsuna and Kyouya had. Of course their relationship was less complicated than the Sawada-Hibari's had been, but they were comfortable with each other and balanced each other out perfectly. It didn't hurt that they were deeply in love too and one could see it in their eyes and the way that they looked at each other.
Alma, as cheerful as ever, bounced over to Cielo and took the seat next to him, immediately starting a conversation about the latest episode of their favorite anime. He was very much like Takeshi, always smiling and laughing and generally easy-going, but when his friends or family were threatened he was just as explosive as Hayato could be, which might have been expected seeing as he was a user of Storm flames.
"Will anyone else be joining us tonight?" Tsuna asked, smiling warmly at a chattering Alma and Cielo.
"I don't think so," Hayato answered. "Ryohei is in Japan with his own family and Chrome is out on a mission with Mukuro. So it will just be us for tonight."
Nodding his understanding, Tsuna gestured for the meal to be brought in and the maids and butlers wheeled in the dishes. To Kyouya's secret delight, they were having Japanese for tonight and many of his favorites were placed on the lazy Susan. After a mandatory "Itadakimasu" everyone took their chopsticks and dug in, savoring the delicious meal before them.
After taking a few bites of his chicken teriyaki and some pickled eggplant, Tsuna looked around the table. Takeshi, Lambo, and Hayato were discussing sports (surprisingly not baseball) with I-Pin putting in her two cents worth while she spooned some squash into Mei's waiting mouth. Cielo and Alma had now turned their conversation to what seemed to be some online game, if Alma's enthusiastic gesturing was interpreted correctly. And Nuvola was discussing some school things with Kyouya, who was nodding approvingly while murmuring his opinion.
A feeling of warmth and contentment rose in Tsuna's chest and he hid his smile in his cup, though his eyes were practically shining.
It was so nice to spend time with family.
A/N: Okay, the ending was a bit rushed but I wanted it to end at that last line and it was a little tough to bring it up to that. I hope it was satisfactory anyway. I especially hope the smut scene was satisfactory… geh, I read so many lemons and yet when I try to write one down it doesn't seem adequate. Such is the life of a writer…
Have a happy Valentine's Day (or as I like to call it Single Awareness Day) and if you want to give me a Valentine's, I'll be happy with a review or you can just follow me on Tumblr! My page is emotivegothika(dot)tumblr(dot)com. X3
*Mei – Um… I don't even know if this has a translation. I'm not even going to try to translate it. I just asked myself "what would be a good name for a Lambo and I-Pin daughter?" and I just thought Mei, since it was easy to remember and a common name anyway. I imagine her to look very much like Lambo with wavy black hair and lazy, hooded eyes (at least when she's older) but she's not a crybaby and she's going to be a martial artist like her mother but will have the Lightning flame like her father.
*Alma – To be honest, I wasn't going to give Hayato a kid or even have 8059 in here (shocking, I know) because I thought it would be a bit too much. But I just shrugged and said "what the hell, it's my story, I'll put it in!" I don't know what Alma means, but I like that name a lot and thought it would be a good name for Hayato's son. I actually modeled him after my sort-of idol Alodia Gosiengfiao, Cosplay Goddess of the Philippines (I'd be gay for her, lol) and yes, he's supposed to look like a girl. He's the trap of Cielo's generation. As for his history, he was an illegitimate son of a Mafioso, whose mother was killed when he was young, just like Hayato. But unlike Hayato he was despised and neglected by his father and hated by his half-siblings. One day, he was kidnapped for ransom but his father didn't pay and he would have been killed if it wasn't for Hayato being in the right place at the right time. Hayato saved Alma and once he heard of the boy's situation, he pressed charges against Alma's father for child abuse and neglect (he won, being Vongola after all) and adopted Alma as his own son. The rest is history.
*Ryohei – Yes, he married Hana and they have two sons just a few years younger than Nuvola, but they won't appear because Hana doesn't want her sons to be involved with the Vongola. Everyone respected her decision.
*Chrome and Mukuro – No, they don't have children. They are very happy being childless and single (yes, they are not together).
