Title: The Welcoming Sky
Pairings: None(their will be a poll later)
Summary: Tsubasa and Tsunayoshi are twin brothers that have been separated due to the mafia. Tsubasa was raised and trained to be Vongola's Decimo, while Tsunayoshi has led the life of a normal, below-average teenager. So why is Dame-Tsuna able to have a sort of control over Tsubasa's guardians.
With a bento in one hand, a backpack in the other, and a piece of toast sticking out of his mouth Tsunayoshi was quite a sigh to catch. His face reddened from the exertion of running, and sweat began to bead at his forehead. Namimori High was just right around the corner, and Tsuna didn't feel like meeting with the residential skylark that would surely 'bite him to death'.
Making the quick turn around the corner, Tsuna could see the gates of Namimori and gratefully ran past the gates. Just as he thought he was safe the bell rang; knowing that his life could possibly be in danger because of the dangerous committee leader, Tsuna once again took off in an all out run, forgetting about his exhaustion. Up the flights of stairs, and into room 2-B, Tsuna quickly shuffled to his seat.
"Now since Dame-Tsuna finally graced us with his presence, let's continue with our daily attendance. Shall we?" Ichigo-sensei mocked before resuming her attendance.
Laughter and soft giggles could be heard throughout the classroom, and whispered sneers were passed on. Used to the daily mockery of his teachers and fellow classmates, Tsuna no longer cared to feel embarrassed; although he was slightly hurt by his classmates' and teacher's immaturity. Regardless, Tsuna was determined to not let it effect him too much.
Math class began its usual course, and eventually Tsuna lost focus on what was being taught. Ichigo-sensei's voice slowly lowered to a low buzzing sound, and his eyes began to feel heavy. He didn't really sleep well last night. Just as he was almost successful in falling asleep a tight hand was clamped around his shoulder, and Tsuna jerked awake.
"Is my class too boring for you?"
Ichigo- sensei looked murderous as she glared down at the useless student sitting before her. Knowing that he wasn't paying attention, and wanting to punish him, she forced him to get up. "Go and solve the equation on the board! After all, if you're sleeping so soundly in my class you must surely know the lesson by now." She sneered in distaste.
There was silence in the room, and everyone watched him in mock curiosity. The question on the board was quite easy, 15x+5y=30. All Tsuna had to do was put the equation in y-intercept form, but at first glance from a person who didn't know the foundation behind the rules it would be difficult. Because of this, Tsuna could only stare in horror at the question.
"I-I don't know sensei." Tsuna whispered quietly.
Sighs of frustration came from some of the students, and others jeered at the brunet. "I knew he couldn't do it."
"Of course he can't! He's Dame-Tsuna!"
"Enough! Sawada go back to your seat, and pay close attention!" The teacher ordered before returning back to her lesson.
Everyone quieted down, and resumed what they had done previously. There was great difficulty for Tsuna to keep tract of what was going on. All his teacher did was continue on her lecture of the rule behind the formula of y=mx+b, and how a person should graph the formula. However she completely forgot how to show the students how to get the question in that formula, and eventually told all the students to read chapter 5.4 to get the answers.
Math class passed by in confusion, and eventually came science. Nezu-sensei wasn't any better as a teacher, and from that came all the other classes. Lunch was spent without much trouble, and school eventually ended. With no after school clubs, or clean up duties that weren't tossed at him, Tsuna clumsily made it back home.
"Tadaima!" Tsuna called out to his mother before taking off his shoes.
Noticing another pair, Tsuna waited until he heard his mother's 'okaeri', which came quickly.
"Tsuna-kun, come quickly." His mother called out excitedly.
Sitting across from Nana was her beloved younger son, and an adorable fedora wearing infant with curly sideburns. She couldn't wait to see her cute Tsuna-kun's shocked face. A smile adored her face as she got up from her position, and began to set up dinner.
"Hai, kaa-san." She heard her Tsuna-kun mumble, before coming into the kitchen.
Expecting to hear questions, and excited shouts, Nana was disappointed with the silence. She turned around to watch the twins interact with one another, and instead saw Tsuna smiling down at Tsubasa in sheer joy. It has been so long since she saw her Tsuna-kun smile like that.
"Tsubasa, you didn't tell me you were coming back to visit." Tsuna said before taking a seat by his brother.
A nervous smile crossed the younger's face, and the baby, Reborn, looked on in disapproval. With a happy hum, Nana began taking out the necessary ingredients for the night's dinner.
"Actually, I got Dad to let me stay here for a few years." Tsubasa replied to his brother.
"HHIIEEE! He's finally letting you come back?" Tsuna asked, excitedly, before turning to the infant.
"Chaos Dame-Tsuna." The squeaky voice greeted.
"Eh! You know who I am?"
"Reborn!"
The infant turned to Tsubasa, and regarded the younger sibling for a bit before ignoring the outraged youth; most likely for calling his precious older brother 'Dame'. "Yes, I know you are Dame-Tsuna because you are no good at anything, and that you are also Idiot-Tsubasa's older brother. I am the world's number one hitman, Reborn." The infant introduced to Tsuna.
Thinking that everything was a game, Tsuna played along and asked, "What are you doing here then Reborn-san?"
A kind smile graced the older boy's lips, as he looked down on the child. He was curious about the answer.
"To make sure Idiot-Tsubasa get all his guardian, and teach him how to become a mafia boss."
"Reborn! That's enough!" Tsubasa yelled in outrage once again, before falling back on the ground with a bruise forming on his left cheek and a mysterious green hammer in Reborn's hand.
"Ah, then please take good care of Tsubasa, Reborn-san."
A hand was placed on the fedora wearing baby, and it became a small pat before Tsuna straighted up and walked upstairs. "Tsubasa, I'll help you unpack later, if you need any help." Tsuna called from the staircase, before disappearing into the bathroom.
Tsubasa could do nothing, but stare at the place his older brother once sat a few seconds ago. Then he turned to his busy mother. It appears that his family didn't take what Reborn said seriously. There truly was a god out there somewhere.
Once done with his shower, Tsuna walked out of the bathroom and into his room. There was much to think about, the brunet knew, and his room was a safe haven for the young teen. A few moments of silence was all the fifteen year-old wanted, but that wish was not granted.
"Dame-Tsuna." A squeaky voice demanded his attention.
Tsuna smiled at the small child, and gave his a small nod of the head, indicating that he was paying attention. "Hai, Reborn-san?"
The baby surveyed that dirty room, and merely turned back to petting his pet reptile. Comfortable silence was shared between the two, and eventually Reborn decided to sit on top of the unused desk in front of the brunet.
"What's his name?" Tsuna asked, pointing at the chameleon.
"Leon." Was the short reply.
Tsuna nodded before resuming his internal thoughts. Absentmindedly, he placed his hand on Reborn's head and began to pat the child. It was a habit that he knew he had when it came to children. He had done it often enough to Tsubasa when they were younger to calm down the tantrum throwing child.
Reborn looked up at the dazed brunet, and saw the potential of the sky in the youth. The whole family had the potential of the sky flame. Black eyes stared at Tsuna, and slowly the brunet realized that the baby was expecting something from him.
Releasing a quiet sigh at the baby's antics, Tsuna removed a piece of espresso flavored candy from his pocket, and handed it to the child. Reborn took the candy and removed the wrapper, before placing it in his mouth.
"Reborn, I told you before that consuming coffee-anything isn't good for your body. It will stunt your growth." Tsuna chided.
"Quiet Dame-Tsuna, I didn't listen to you before, and I won't listen to you now." Reborn replied.
Another sigh, and Tsuna mourned the fact that they had done so well. It was a really simple plan; they just had to pretend not to know each other for a while, then slowly build a false or realistic relationship of a teenager trying to act fatherly towards an infant. It was truly a simple plan, and it would have pulled through if Tsuna hadn't relent, and given the hitman a piece of candy that was just 'conveniently' on him. Even when alone they had to pretend that they barely knew each other, in case Tsubasa or someone else overheard their familiarity.
"Don't overthink yourself, Dame-Tsuna." Reborn commented, while sucking on the delicious candy.
He raised his hand, outstretched to the brunet, expecting another one. Tsuna nodded and placed another one to the hitman; he truly couldn't deny the hitman anything, or children for that matter.
"Idiot-Tsubasa, will be going to your school tomorrow, as well as another Italian, Smoking Bomb Hayato. He will be challenging Idiot-Tsu for the position to be a candidate to be Vongola's heir."
"Un, anything else, Reborn?" Tsuna asked, curiously.
"You have shadows under your eyes." Reborn commented.
Tsuna smiled slightly at the hitman's hidden concern, and placed his hand on the hitman's shoulder. "I'm fine, Reborn. Just having trouble sleeping."
Leon crawled to the brunet's hand, and slowly nudged at the hand in an affectionate fashion. A look of doubt crossed the hitman's face, but was covered by his fedora. It didn't matter, he wouldn't care too much about the brunet. His current 'concern' was the brunet's younger brother.
Seeing that the powerful baby was done with him, Tsuna gazed at him sadly. Already it was too dangerous, Tsubasa will slowly become curious about his teacher's absent, and would question the hitman later in the night. A warm smile grazed Tsuna's lips, a smile worthy of the sky, as he thought of the eventful future coming.
AN: Alright, so I added a slight 'comical' moment with the reunion of Tsubasa and Tsuna, and what's this? Reborn and Tsuna know each other? What? If you have a guess as to what their relationship is, then go ahead and give me your thoughts. I'll be waiting.
Personal thanks to those who reviewed, favored, and followed this story.
As for Knight Yuuki, as you can possibly tell, I don't plan on making them go against each other. It's too... cliché? I always read stories about Tsuna having a younger or older sibling that aren't close to him, and are always at his case. So I'm going to do something a little different, there will be clashes between the brothers at time, but for the majority of the story they will get along.
