Tsuna was inside the waiting room, scared and anxious. When M.M fell unconscious, he freaked out, not knowing what was wrong. After having a small panic attack, his Kaa-san had dissected the problem through his intelligible garbling and called the ambulance. They had been waiting for the analysis ever since.
His mind was spinning with guilt. He knew that his action were the most probable cause of her collapse and he couldn't do anything about it. Then, somewhere within the midst of the guilt, a thought surfaced. 'If she fainted because her brain was overloaded with the lost memories, then what has she been trying to hide?'
Tsuna started to wonder what other possible reasons that led to her lying to him. He couldn't get very far before a doctor came out, calling for his family. As he approached the doctor, he felt like he knew what was going to be said before the man opened his mouth.
"Miss M.M doesn't seem physically injured in any way. We believe that she collapsed because of mental fatigue. From what you told us, about her having been kicked out of the house, and reminded of her past, adding to that the fact that she's at an age where hormones are still actively affect her body, it's not that hard to believe."
Nana let go a sigh of relief before asking, "Is she alright; can we see her?"
The doctor let a small smile manifest, "She's still resting, but she's not in any immediate danger. You can see her, but please be quiet. It's best to let her rest."
Hearing the M.M was okay washed out most of his anxiety and fears, but not all. He wasn't sure if she'll wake up, what she's planning, if she'll be the same, and if said plan would cause her to be thrown in one of Vongola's prisons. All that kept the heavy wave of nerves on him.
The second the doctor opened the door, Tsuna's eyes fell directly on M.M's sleeping face. It was paler than usual, and seemed to be in more pain. He found himself walking over to her, just to gently pet her head. She nuzzled into his palm, Tsuna noted that her pained expression relaxed, leaving a serene look as she sighed under her breath.
No one said anything for long time, not that there were many people were there. The only people around besides Tsuna and Nana, was Iemitsu and Reborn, both of whom had their poker faces on. They just watched from the back, catching Tsuna's instinctive actions and M.M's response.
After that day of visitation, Tsuna came back every day for one week. He was never positive if he was doing it out of his fear of her, to keep the Vongola thinking that he was actively searching for a bride, or if he just wanted to. He hated how confused he was, but in all honesty, he already knew the reason.
He sighed as he opened the door to her room. What he didn't expect, was the sudden chill he felt. He froze, mouth falling open slightly as he registered the sight of Mukuro, Chrome, AND M.M staring at him. He immediately felt like an outsider who walked in something he wasn't supposed to and that he should leave.
The urge to run out the door heightened when Mukuro grew a smile and asked, "Maybe we should just let the Vongola Decimo in on your little plan." The second that left Mukuro's mouth he saw M.M's widen to the size of saucers, and he knew that he wasn't going to like what he was about to hear...but also that he had to hear it.
