Meeting Students : Dino
"Oi, stupid-student! Run faster, or else they'll kill you," a nonchalant voice spoke from the rooftops.
"T-Tsuna! H-help me! I'm going t-to die!" a lanky teen cried, tugging at strands of blonde hair.
"Hey, Reborn asked me to train you, so i'm going to do my job properly. You should do your job too," Tsuna just smirked at the running teen. "Anyway, they're gaining on you. If you don't speed up soon, they'll be here in about thirty seconds. Unless you want to fight, that is,"
"Argh y-you know that I c-can't fight w-without any o-of my m-men around!" the teen yelled his breath ragged.
"Stupid-Dino. That's what this training is for. I prohibited them from helping so you can fend for yourself. Stupid stupid," Tsuna chided as he pulled out a couple of rocks. "Now, it's time to step up your game!"
Dino screamed in panic as a frenzy of stones pelted him from above. "Look! The bastard is over there! Get him!" The group from behind yelled as their gradually increased.
"T-Tsuna! What do I do? They're gaining on me!" Fear shined through his tear-stained eyes.
"Stupid-Dino. You're suppose to fight with your dying will. What did you learn this whole time?" Tsuna's seriousness seeping through his voice.
Before Dino could retort back, he noticed something strange.
"I won't let you near the boss!" A suited man stood between the blond and the angry mob.
"Romario! What are you doing?" Dino hissed.
"Boss, i'll hold them back, so please run away from here! I'll take full responsibility from Tsunayoshi as well!" Romario gave him a small smile before facing the crowd again. "You're fight ends here!"
"So, Dino?" Tsuna's face was void of any emotion.
"Tsuna… I...I'll fight to protect… the people around me!" Dino's determination could be felt from miles away, a burning inferno refusing to burn out.
"Finally, stupid-Dino," Tsuna smiled as Leon dropped something into his hands. "Thanks Leon. Hey! Dumb-Dino! Catch!"
With a swipe of motion, Dino quickly caught the item. "A whip?... Thanks, Tsuna!"
"Knock em' dead,"
"How was Dino?" Reborn casually asked his son during their daily coffee break.
"Haha, that fool of a student. He's so clumsy that even the younger me barely held a candle to him. His outfits are always messy and he seems to retain nothing in that small brain of his," Tsuna laughed his eyes shining. "But… he has a good heart. He's gonna go far,"
"Hmph, of course. I trained him," Reborn smiled at the secret meaning behind the words.
"You egotistic father of mine,"
"You know you're the same,"
Hidden behind the door, Dino smiled under the praise before walking off.
