Walking up to the Sawada Household, AU!Hayato knocked on the door to be greeted by a magenta haired woman with a stoic face. She just kinda stood and stared at the silverette without showing any emotion. And it was kinda freaking the bomber out just a little.
"Hel-Ahh!" The taller female then hugged him, who the heck was she? That's when he saw Tsuna walk down the stairs, waving his hands to get the burnette's attention he asked, "Oi! Juudaime, who is this?"
"Bianchi! What are you doing?" Tsuna gasped seeing the Poison Scorpion hug her brother's alternate self.
"I heard from Reborn about Hayato-kun, and I just wanted to say hi," She explained letting go of her brother's alternate.
"Oh! So you're my half-sister!" Gokudera gasped realizing that this was "his" older sister. "Nice to meet you," he greeted properly holding out this hand. Instead of taking his hand, Bianchi hugged him again. Did she like hugging people?
"Sorry, Hayato-kun usally keeps away from me, so I'm making up for lost time," she explained letting him go. Nodding the Italian male walked past her to head over to the Vongola Decimo. Boy, was he starting to know why his other self kept away from her, she was weird.
"AHAHAHAH! I got you now Stupidera!" A loud voice shouted. Not knowing what exactly to do, Hayato looked over to the source of the sound, only to get his face glommed by a toddler wearing a cow costume. "I claim this head for Lambo! EhehehAHAHAHAHA!"
"Lambo?" The bomber asked picking the cow by the scruff of his neck getting him off his face. Boy did this Juudaime had weird company.
"Let me go Stupidera! Let me go! Letmegoletmegoletmego!"
"Lambo be quite!" an egged shape head said before kicking the kid out of the Storm Guardian's hand. "Sorry!" was all that was said before the kids left to cause a ruckus elsewhere.
"Does this happen every day?" Gokudera asked to Tsuna.
"Unfortunately, yes. Yes, it does," Tsuna said as he started to walk up to his room. Gokudera was about to follow, however, Bianchi came out with a tray of food in her hands.
"Hayato-kun, would you like some snacks?" She asked holding out the platter full of poison cooking, not that AU!Gokudera knew that.
"Sure, thanks," he said wanting to be polite. He took one sandwich roll from the plate and brought it to his mouth.
"Wait Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna gasp, but it was too late. The pianist had taken a bite, and a good sized one at that. Even though he was looking at the back of the bomber's head, he could tell the effects of the food was taking effect.
"So how is it?" the chief asked ignorant of how bad her cooking skills are.
"I-It's g-good," Hayato replied weakly. So now he knew why his other self stayed away from his sister. Kami, he wanted to throw up right there, but that would only cause a mess for Juudaime and his family. Instead he pasted out by the stairs.
"G-Gokudera-kun!" the Vongola gasp seeing the Storm Guardian past out.
"I don't know why Reborn said that they were different, they're the same," Bianchi noted taking a bite of a sandwich roll, thinking on how good her cooking was.
Anyone would have that reaction if they ate your cooking! Tsuna thought with his mouth gaping, trying to get Hayato to wake up.
AU!Namimori
"Gokudera catch!" Kyoko yelled tossing a black and white football at the silver haired bomber.
"Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Opps! It's not a football, it's Lambo. "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?!?!?!??" This blob of life then proceeded to fly and land Hayato's face. (Why does Lambo keep glomming Gokudera's face?)
"Get of me stupid cow!" Gokudera yelled taking the toddler off his face and chucked him in a random direction, causing the poor cow to scream for his life once more. Thank the gods that the Vongola Decimo was the scene, he safely caught the boy and made sure he didn't fly off anymore, for now.
"Laaaambbbbbo-san is d-diiizy!" the Lightning Guaridan said with stars floating around his head, before he promptly fainted.
"Kyoko-chan be more careful on what you throw!" Tsuna warned picking up the five-year-old to give to his mom.
"AHAHHA! Sorry Tsu-kun!" the Sun Guardian giggled before giving him a peck on the cheek, "I'll grab a frisbee!"
"Gah! I better make sure she doesn't pick up I-pin!" the Decimo said following her.
Smiling at the scene Gokudera picked up a soda and opened it up. Today his and Juudaime's parents planed a Vongola picnic. Right now Geronimo and Iemitsu Sawada were drinking snake, talking about what was going on in the Mafia Underworld, while Honoka and Nana were setting out the food, chatting about stuff normal people would chat about.
Tsuna and Kyoko were playing around with the kids, getting their energy out. Haru was working on her costumes in the shade, her fingers moving fast and stitching the cloth faster than a sewing machine. Mukuro was sleeping, or conversing with Chrome because he would chuckle every now and then. Yamamoto refused on coming because he had better stuff to do, figures, probably robbing people of their money then burning them with cigarettes. Reborn was going from place to place checking in on everyone. And Hibari. . .
"Would you two get a room?" Gokudera asked not even looking at Hibari and his lover. Making out while there was little innocent kids around, how indecent.
"Why should I herbivore?" the skylark questioned trying to sound mean, but the panting kinda made it lose its effect.
"Because I'm pretty sure everyone else here would rather not seeing or hearing you two mating," the silverette bluntly said taking another sip of his cherry pop.
"What the hell did you say!?!?" Hibari demanded getting flustered a little. Grabbing his tonfas he got in a fighting stance. "I-I'll bite you to death!"
"I'm sure," the bomber teased rolling his eyes, "I bet he's the one biting you to death."
"W-What are you talking about?" the perfect stuttered starting to blush even more, it was really fun to mess with AU!Hibari.
"Calm down Kyoya-kun," The laid back voice of Dino said running his fingers though the black hair of his boyfriend. "I agree with Gokudera."
"Ehhhh?" Before he could protest, Hibari found himself carried away bridal style away from the picnic area to an unknown area to do Kami knows what. The thought kinda gave Hayato shivers, and didn't want to know where or what the couple would be doing. Finishing the rest of his pop he went to join this world's Juudaime in their current game of tag.
"OI! Juudaime cound me in!"
Canon Namimori
Well this wasn't awkward at all. . .
Currently Tsunayoshi was sitting at the counter of Yamamoto's Sushi Bar next to Kyoko not sure what to do. He was so nervous on what to do. What do couples do, or talk about? Why didn't he ask help? No, because they would said "just act natural" and if he did that he would make a fool out of himself. Not that he had done that in front of Kyoko before, but he didn't want to screw up on his first date.
"E-Edo. . . how are you Kyoko-chan?" the Decimo asked not sure what to say.
"I'm fine, Nii-san was fussing about this date thing though. I told him he had nothing to worry about," the burnette giggled smiling sweetly.
"Does he not approve of this?!"
"Iie. . . He was just. . ." Kyoko couldn't quite find the words to describe how her brother reacted. Ryohei was pulling at his hair, his eyes enlarged, and he was yelling stuff like "I can't believe Kyoko-chan is growing up! Does she not need me?!?!?!!?" to no one in particular. It took a little while for the girl to calm the Sun Guardian down so she could leave knowing he was okay. ". . . excited."
All Tsuna could do was nod not knowing if that was a good or bad thing, what if next time he saw the boxer he tried to break his neck? And everyone knew he could easily do that to a weak little guy like him. While he was wondering if he should be fearing for his life, dinner showed up. Or at least the first couse which was a soup.
"Here you go Juudaime, Kyoko-chan!" AU!Hayato said handing both a bowl of soup, "It's my home made Toasted Parmesan Gnocchi."
He waited as the two ate the Italian dish, and beamed when both had smiles on their faces. However the dinner wasn't over yet. After the soup was done Takeshi came out with a small plate full of some raw salmon cut up like roses with cucumbers as its leaves. They ate all the food that was brought to them, however, it wasn't the end of their meal. They still had dessert to come! (There coerces were small, so they had room for this treat!)
"WOW!" Both gasp as the two guardians brought a huge ice-cream-sundae with chocolate, sprinkles, caramel, strawberries, bananas, and a cherry on top.
"I don't think we can eat all of this," Tsuna said looking at the pile of sugar in front of them. And on cue the cherry rolled down into his lab to show that it was actually a little capsule from Reborn. Opening it up it revealed a message, reading it aloud, "Dame-Tsuna, you and Kyoko better finish the Vongola Sundae or else you will die." Everyone had a laugh at the typical Reborn behavior, save Tsuna who was knew the little hitman was dead serious on the matter. Or maybe not, but one never knows with that Arcobaleno.
"Well you heard Reborn, let's get started!" Kyoko chirped already digging in the "Vongola Sundae."
"You can do it Juudaime!" Gokudera cheered as the Decimo took his first bite. That was when he noticed that the baseball player wasn't next to him like he was a moment ago. Looking behind him he saw that Takeshi was standing outside. Eyeing the couple he saw that they weren't going to miss him so he decided to check up on the Rain Guardian. He was standing outside, starring up orange pink sky. When he got about five paces away from the swordsman he looked around to look at the pianist.
Smiling he asked, "What are you doing out here?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" AU!Gokudera questioned smirking. The silverette walked forward, closing the space between them so they were about one step away from each other. The taller one just laughed at the very "Hayato like act." The laugh faded and a wave of bitterness entered him, though he didn't want this Hayato to know. So he hid it behind his smile, though this one didn't seem to quite reach his eyes. The bomber took note of this, even though he had no idea what was going on it the other's head. "Is something wrong Yamamoto?"
"No, I was just wondering how Hayato was doing. If he's alright and getting enough food in him. If he's adjusting to your life well and not getting into trouble. If my other is being too mean to him," Takeshi listed his worries for his temperamental boyfriend. He barely voiced his last worry for Hayato, ". . . If he misses me or not."
Hearing this AU!Gokudera bit his lip not sure what to say to his bully-look-alike. So he just spoke the first thing that came to mind. "Well if he's me, despite the personality differences, then he probably misses everyone like I do. Though there was something I missed for a long time now, and found in this world."
"What's that?"
"Your smile," was all that AU!Hayato said before moving once again to close the space between them.
Yamamoto was frozen in shock as he saw the familiar face of his loved one move closer to his own. He didn't know what to do. His head was telling him that this was not his Hayato, but his heart was aching in pain and did not care if he was not the real thing. An illusion of the mind was all it needed for this strange teenager to be turned into the figure that he loved and longed for. The last thing to do was simply close his eyes and let his mind imagine what his being craved for.
A pair of amber closed tightly as its body in haled deeply and sharply.
AU!Naimori
Smokin' Bomb Hayato was walking to the mini-mart to grab a pack of cigarettes. No, his mom or Geronimo approve his smoking habits, but you can't really stop an addiction easily right? Blame that perverted doctor Shamal. Well turns out that fate or some higher power wanted to keep those cancer sticks away from the silverette, at least for a little while.
"Take that you Namimori trash!" someone yelled followed by a groan. Laughters were heard down that alley. Now usually Gokudera wouldn't care much for these gang fights, usually. His emerald eyes wandered about towards the noise to see AU!Yamamoto on the ground being beaten up by others. Stopping in his tracts he debated whether or not to help. Part of him said yes help his fellow guardian, another said let the bastard get what he deserves.
"GAH!" the Rain Guardian gasped as he felt a foot drive into his gut. That made Gokudera's final decision, he'll help him.
"Oi, what do you think you're doing?" Gokudera spat pulling out his dynamites.
"You want the same treatment pretty-boy?" the leader asked cracking his knuckles.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" the bomber asked as he lit his explosives.
"Big talk, can you back it up?"
"You're about to find out."
In about ten minutes the street punks found out that there was a reason why he was called "Smokin' Bomb Hayato." While they fled Gokudera helped the swordsman up. He was bleeding and was scraped up, but looked like a little soap water and bandages would do the trick.
"Oi, where's your place," Gokudera asked the injured teen.
"I don't need your help fag," AU!Yamamoto said with a weary smirk. Hayato had to be getting used to being called a fag because he just rolled his eyes and asked again. "Over there." He pointed down the alley. The two figures walked down the streets until they came to a rundown, cheep looking apartment building. The door was unlock and showed a messy, dirty, smelly apartment. "Looks like no one's here," he sighed. Hayato decided not to think too much on why Yamamoto said "here" instead of home.
"Lovely abode," Gokudera sarcastically remarked entering the place. He set down the other teen to search for the items he needed to help Yamamoto.
"I'm fine, those street scum aren't nothing," the black haired teen boasted as the Storm Guardian look blindly around his home. "In the cabinet two over from your left." Hayato opened the said cover up to find what he was looking for, he also notice a picture of the Yamamoto family with Tsuyoshi, Takeshi, and his mother Akane. He walked back over to the injured swordsman to see that he was laying down.
"Sit up," the bomber ordered as he started to fix up his ally. The two said nothing, though the silence wasn't awkward. For some reason it was peaceful for the both of them. Once he was finished he asked, "So how did you end up being creamed so badly?"
"Heh. . . I'm glad to hear you think I'm strong. Though I doubt I could take on armed twenty street scum by myself," the Japanese scoff earning a smirk from the Italian.
"What about your sword?"
"I promised Tsuna that I wouldn't use the sword against people unless it was for the Vongola." Takeshi got up getting something to drink.
"What if it's to protect your life? I'm sure there's exception for that."
"Maybe," he mused handing Hayato a Red Bull taking a drink himself.
"Where's your folks?" the silverette asked opening his can.
"I don't know, and I don't really care either."
"What's going on?"
"She hates me and I hate her, I'm gonna move out as soon as I can," was all he said not really not wanting to talk about his personal family life. The answer was too vague for Hayato's liking, but he knew that if he probed further he wouldn't get an answer.
Oh well he wanted one anyways.
"What about your dad?"
". . ."
"Oi, you still there?"
"Fuck this," Yamamoto spat getting up and walking away from the pianist.
"Oi, Yamamoto!" Gokudera followed the moody teen wanting to know what was up. Grabbing his shoulder he turned him around. "What the hell?"
"Do not test me faggot," the taller boy threatened glaring at the smaller. Just when the Italian thought he was getting somewhere with the AU!Rain Guardian, this shit happens.
"Calm down, I'm not trying to hurt you. I just asked a question."
"Just leave me alone, you know nothing," Takeshi hissed turning away.
"That's why I'm asked the question!" Gokudera was exasperated at the stupidity of this Yamamoto, gawd were all Yamamoto Takeshis idiots?
Grabbing his collar AU!Yamamoto spat, "I said leave me alone."
That was the last straw for Gokudera Hayato. Pushing away the swordsman's arm he brought his own fist up and moved to strike him. There was only one way to deal with idiots like these, through violence.
Sorry, Takeshi. He thought as he moved to make a violent contact with his boyfriend-look-alike.
Oh boy not did I leave you guys off with one cliffhanger. But I left you with TWO cliff hangers. Please don't hurt me! You'll make AU!Hayato cry! (Though you may not like him now that he tried to make a move on Takeshi.) Yeah so I put in some AU!D18 out of a request from Yoshi333, and with this chapter the prologue is over! Yep you heard right, all of what I have wrote is the just the beginning of the real story. Next chapter things start to be a little bit more interesting, or that's why I plan. Hope you enjoy(or hate) this cliffhanger filled chapter, and wait for me to get the next chapter out! Bye-Bye!
