[{WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO BUY COFFEE?!}]

Before his high school career started, Tsuna could and would tell you he wasn't popular- now though, as a second year, he would complain about his popularity- oh no, he wasn't a difficult person to like once you got past his insecurities and his safety wall, or got him out of his head, Tsuna Sawada was a very charismatic, warm, welcoming and attractive person; that was part of his popularity, and that part he didn't mind. You see, it was the fact the many of his schoolmates and upperclassmen were very, very attracted to the more.. decisive and commanding.. side of his personality- in addition to his usual quiet, sweet and oft-unassuming presence.

And when I say many, I mean many.

Among the brunette's many pining suitors were best friends Takeshi Yamamoto, Hayato Gokudera, Enma Kozato, Hana Kurokawa and Kyousuke Sasagawa; crazy acquaintances Chrome and Mukuro Rokudo- twins, aie..-, Chikusa Kakimoto, Ken Joushima; devoted underclassmen Haru Miura, Lambo Bovino, I-Pin Chang; and of course his very, very, extremely.. determined... upperclassmen: Kyouya 'The Unchained Carnivore' Hibari, Fon 'The Crimson Hurricane' Hibari, Ryohei 'EXTREME!' Sasagawa, Renato Reborn 'I'll-kick-your-ass-six-ways-to-Sunday-if-you-so-much-as-look-at-me-funny.-I'm-tough-as-diamond-covered-titanium-nails-and-super-smug-and-sexy-and-I'll-get-away-with-it' Sinclair, Bermuda 'If-you-thought-Sinclair-was-bad-you-obviously-haven't-dealt-with-me-before.-I'll-end-up-kicking-yer-sorry-ass-into-next-century-if-you-cross-me' von Veckenschtien, Ieharu Basil 'Shakespeare' Sawada, Ieyasu Giotto 'Hot-damn.-He's-creepier-than-I-expected' Sawada and Dino 'Wild Bronco' Chiavarone.

(That is, if you were keeping track, 20 some-odd suitors listed... Hiie!)

And yes, two of his determined suitors were his cousins- not that Tsuna wanted to know why, at all- and the rest were friends/acquaintances of his. There were more people, but Tsuna tended not to think of them, as he also tended to fall prey to panic attacks if/when he thought about the 25+ men and women he's inadvertently charmed- as it so happens the ones he interacted with the most tended to, more or less, be less of a handful and more of a headache-and-a-half. (Despite that, he still regarded them with affection- mostly...)

But there were times. Oh, there were times.

Times like this- where he was stuck between two of his most.. dangerous.. suitors- Reborn Sinclair and Bermuda von Veckenschtien. 'Oh boy.' Thought Tsuna despondently, 'Things do not look good... Damned if you say something; damned if you don't. Shiiiit...' In some dark corner of his mind, Tsuna realized he was in some twisted high school fantasy, sandwiched between two attractive upperclassmen.. and then he realized that his sempais were both able to easily pick him out of a crowd, they always noticed him! He internally groaned- thinking of that damning phrase- 'Senpai, notice me!'- personally, he thought of one much more relevant to his life- 'Could Senpai... not... notice me?'

Yeah, could Senpai not notice him?
