Basil was quickly back asleep, Addison was as well, once she had finished her sandwich.
~After School~
"Addison!" Serenity barged into the room. "We have more homework for you."
Addison sat up slowly, glaring at Serenity. "I was sleeping, so was Basil." Basil was sitting up now too.
"Sorry."
"I told you she would be sleeping." Lynn walked into the room with the rest of the Vongola's.
"Oh well." Serenity sat on the corner of the bed. "Here is your math and history homework." She handed Addison three pieces of paper.
"How are you feeling?" Tsuna asked.
"Fine. Starting to get a headache." Addison looked over the papers.
"Did you eat anything today?" Gokudera leaned against the wall.
"Yeah, I had a sandwich."
"That's good." Yamamoto smiled.
"You look tired." Lynn looked over at Basil.
"I didn't get any sleep last night." Basil sighed, rubbing his eyes.
"Why not?" Serenity questioned, putting her feet up.
"The plane wasn't too comfortable, it won't be tomorrow either."
"When's your plane leave?" Addison wondered.
"Tomorrow morning."
"Do you have any where to stay tonight?" Tsuna put his backpack down.
"Reborn-san said he would let me stay with you."
"Right, we should probably get going home too." Reborn came into the room. "Who's watching Addison tonight?"
"Gokudera." Serenity decided.
"Then let's go." Reborn jumped on Yamamoto's shoulder.
Everyone left the room except for Gokudera.
"Addison, when you said yes the other day, what question were you talking about?" Gokudera sat in the chair.
"You'll have to figure that out on your own." Addison stood out of the bed slowly.
"What are you doing?"
"Going to the bathroom." Addison walked out of the room.
When Addison came back, Gokudera was staring at the wall, dazing into space. She knew what he was thinking about too. Addison smirked as she laid down on the bed to go to sleep once again.
"I'll give you a hint. What's something you've been meaning to ask me? I'm going back to sleep." Addison pulled the blanket over her.
Gokudera thought for a moment. Once he had an idea of what it could be, Addison was already asleep. Gokudera let out a sigh, grabbing his backpack.
~Next Morning~
Addison woke up to the usual darkness of the room. Gokudera was fast asleep on the chair.
"I'm here!" Serenity barged into the room, making Gokudera wake up.
"Why are you always so loud?" Addison asked, standing up.
"I don't know." Serenity smiled. "I'm here to take Gokudera's place."
"No need, I'm leaving." Addison grabbed her homework.
"Wait, should you be even getting up?" Gokudera stood up.
"I'll be fine, I was fine last night." She started walking out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Dr. Shamal was outside the room writing on a clipboard, about to come into the room.
"Home."
"Let me see your cut." Dr. Shamal examined the cut for a second. "Alright, I guess you can go home, just don't push your self too hard."
"Never do."
Gokudera and Serenity followed Addison quickly to make sure she didn't hurt herself. Addison stopped in the door way.
"I'm going to need a doctor's note for school." She turned around.
"Right." Dr. Shamal flipped to a new sheet on his paper. "Here you go." He handed her a small piece of paper.
"Thank you."
"I'm going to go to Tsuna's." Serenity started in the opposite direction of Addison.
"I'll be there in a little bit." Addison was going towards her house, needing to change her clothes.
"Gokudera, you coming to Tsuna's?" Serenity stopped for a moment.
"I'm going to make sure Addison doesn't get hurt." Gokudera shrugged, walking with Addison.
~Addison's~
"Addison, is that you?" Her mom called as she heard the front door open and close.
"Yeah mom." Addison started up the stairs, Gokudera waiting at the bottom.
"Where have you been the past few days? Lynn and Serenity's parents didn't know where you were."
"I was at Kyoko's, I wasn't quite understanding the history homework, so I was at her house for the help." Addison went up to her room quickly and changed into fresh clothes.
Gokudera was staring into space and didn't notice when Addison came back down.
"Where are you going now?" Addison's mom walked to the front door.
"Tsuna's, I'll be back later." Addison slipped her shoes. "Let's go." Addison took Gokudera's wrist and pulled him out the door.
"Hey, the question you answered yes to, I never asked the question, did I?" Gokudera asked, being slightly behind Addison as they walked.
"Nope you didn't." Addison looked over her shoulder slightly.
"Then how do you know what you're answering to?"
"I saw it. In one of my visions of the future."
"But it didn't happen."
"The visions weren't set in stone, most of them change when the people in them change their mind. That day when Umeko tried to hit me in school, she only missed because I knew what she was going to do. That's actually the day you were planning to ask the question." Addison hinted.
"So it is what I thought." Gokudera stopped for a moment, but continued walking.
"Well, what do you think I said yes to?" Addison turned around right outside Tsuna's front door, leaning on it slightly.
"If you would. . . ." Gokudera started, but stopped when Tsuna's door opened. Addison almost fell backwards, but caught her balance.
Addison turned to see Serenity. "What are you doing, I almost fell over."
"Almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades." Serenity smirked.
"How do you even know that saying?" Addison asked.
"You used to say it all the time. Are you two going to stand out here forever?"
"Maybe." Addison crossed her arms, pushing past Serenity. Gokudera chuckled slightly, following here.
"Addison, shouldn't you still be in the hospital?" Tsuna questioned as Addison walked into the room.
"No, there's no reason for me to stay there if I can stand with out opening my cut." Addison sat in one of the empty chairs.
Basil came down the stairs and went right out the door to catch his plane.
"Did Dr. Shamal say it would be ok?" Reborn wondered.
"Yeah, he did."
"You should take it easy for the next few days." Reborn told Addison.
"Oh, you're all here this morning." Tsuna's mom walked into the room. "Are you all going to be having breakfast with us?"
"Yeah Mama, they're all staying." Reborn nodded.
"Alright, I'm going to need to go to the store later." She walked into the kitchen.
"Do you want help, Mama?" Addison looked into the kitchen. She didn't wait for answer and walked into the kitchen.
"That's ok, you don't have to help me." She smiled.
"I want to."
"While Addison's awake, I want someone to make sure she doesn't hurt herself."? Reborn continued talking.
"Addison looked over her shoulder. "Reborn, that's not necessary."
"What are you guys talking about?" Tsuna's mom asked.
"Oh, we're playing a Mafia game. In the came I was hurt by an enemy."
"That sounds fun." She smiled. "I can do the rest, thanks for the help."
"Alright." Addison walked back over to the table.
"What if Addison starts bleeding again when she's in front of my mom or her's?" Tsuna asked, getting a little quieter.
"I'll make up an excuse." Addison thought for a moment. "I was practicing my martial arts, cut my self on a fence."
"Tsu-kun, come grab some of these plates." Tsuna's mom came into the dining room with two plates in her hand.
Once every one had food in front of them and the little ones were in their seat, everyone began eating. Addison's phone rang half way through her first bite.
"He-wo?" Addison answered it, her mouth still full.
"Addison, I forgot to tell you earlier," Her mom was speaking really fast. "Your cousin is coming to visit."
"Why does everyone think they can come visit us, we left America for a reason."
"Addison."
"Kidding. So which cousin is it?"
"Can't tell you, they said to keep it a secret. I need you to come home and help me set up the house."
"Fine, I'll leave in a minute." Addison shut her phone.
"What was that?" Lynn looked up from her food.
"My mom, turns out, I have a cousin coming to visit." Addison stood up. Tsuna's mom was back in the kitchen starting on the dishes. "Since you guys don't want me to be alone, who's coming with?"
"Uh, I don't really like any of your cousins." Serenity said plainly. "I vote Gokudera goes."
"You don't like me very much, do you?" Gokudera crossed his arms.
"Don't take offence, she doesn't like many very much." Addison smirked. Serenity smiled widely, taking another bite. Gokudera simply stood up. "Alright, let's go see which cousin will be here." Addison started for the door. "Thanks for breakfast."
"How come your mom always forgets to tell you these things in advance?" Gokudera asked as they started on their way.
"She's busy, always filling her self with too much to do so she can keep herself with something to do. Like me, I'm always looking for something to do, but the difference is that I improvise as I go."
"Why doesn't Serenity like your cousins?"
"They're either smarter than her, under the age of five, or has an even worse attention span than I do. I'm surprised she's lasted with me this long." Addison laughed, opening the door to her home. "Mama, I'm ho. . ." Addison started, but then quickly had an arm wrapped around her neck.
"I got you." A boy's voice whispered in her ear. Gokudera stood in the door way, confused and cautious at the same time.
Addison grabbed the arm and with one swift motion, Addison was pushing the boy against the wall with his arm behind his back. "You still have nothing."
The boy had spiked red hair and glowing green eyes. A wide smile flashed across his face as he looked over his shoulder. His clothes were very laid back like Addison's; basketball shorts and a plain grey shirt that looked to be a little too big.
"Andrew." Addison smiled, letting go of his arm and hugging him tightly around the neck.
"Addison, let go, you're going to choke him." Her mom came into the room.
"Alright, alright." Addison released her arms, dropping back to her feet on the floor. "Oh, Andrew, this is Gokudera." Addison turned around, remembering that he had come with her. Gokudera waved slightly, still standing in the door way. "Gokudera, Andrew doesn't speak Japanese, so if you want, you can go back to Tsuna's." Addison suggested.
"Sure, I'll have Lynn or Serenity come." Gokudera turned to leave.
"You'll be better off with Lynn."
"Addison you owe me a rematch." Andrew leaned against the wall slightly, smiling.
"For what?"
"We were cut off our last fight."
"Right." Addison smiled, getting into a fighting position.
"Outside you two." Addison's mom started walking back into the dining room.
Andrew and Addison quickly moved to the front yard. Andrew threw the first punch. It was nearly impossible for either of them to land a hit on each other, though right now Addison wasn't really trying to hit him, just dodge. Addison jumped onto her fence dodging a kick towards the upper back.
"Did you practice at all since I left?" She mocked, crouching on the fence.
"A little . . . . ok not really." He chuckled.
"Wait a minute, time out." Addison stopped him, her cut started to burn in pain, she could feel blood begin to leave it into the bandages around her stomach. "I just remembered, I left my cell phone at a friends, I should go get it." Addison jumped down from the fence, making her stomach hurt more.
"You can't get it later?"
"You know how badly I forget things, if I don't go now, I won't see it for a few days. Don't worry I'll be right back and we can finish the fight." Addison started walking out of the yard. Once out of sight from Andrew, she went into a light jog, heading for Tsuna's. Addison looked down at her cut, sliding her shirt up just enough to see the bandages. You could barely see the blood coming through, but Addison knew it wouldn't be that way when she got to the young Vongola's house. Addison kept starting and stopping. Stopping to make sure she wouldn't push herself too much, but starting to make sure she would make it to Tsuna's before the pain of stomach became too much to handle.
There. Addison could see Tsuna's just a few houses from where she was. Before she continued any further, she looked at her cut once again. It didn't look horrible, but it was worse than when she left. The hurt Vongola continued forward to her boss' house. Addison quickly pulled open the front door and walked into the doorway to the dining room where everyone; minus Lambo, I-pin, and Tsuna's mom; were still sitting. Lynn was standing getting ready to leave for Addison's. Everyone turned when Addison entered the room with her hand tightly over her stomach, looking as if she could through up from all of the movement.
"Gokudera which cousin was at Addison's house?" Serenity asked as Yamamoto and Lynn helped Addison to a chair and Tsuna went to call Dr. Shamal.
"Um," He thought a moment. "I think his name was Andrew." He shrugged.
"You were fighting him, weren't you?" Lynn looked at the bandages, feeling relieved that the cut hadn't bled too much.
"It started as nothing. I walked into the house and he grabbed me from behind saying he got me, but then I got him against the wall and said 'you've got nothing.' Then Gokudera left, then he said that I owed him a rematch for the last time we fought."
"You should've just kept Gokudera there and texted me to come, you know that every time you guys see each other you fight to see who's stronger."
"Haven't lost a fight yet." Addison smiled victoriously.
"What about just now?" Serenity questioned, not helping in anyway, just sitting in her seat.
"I got him to give me a time out by making up an excuse. Once I started bleeding I told him that I left my cell phone here and if I didn't go get it now, I would keep forgetting to come get it." Addison laughed.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left." Gokudera muttered to himself.
"Don't be, it's not your fault. I was stupid enough to agree to the fight, knowing I was hurt."
"That makes fun of it's self." Serenity giggled.
Addison could feel the bandages start to unreel around her stomach, though it took her a moment to realize it. Lynn was replacing the bandages with some Tsuna's mom and in the bathroom closet.
"What are you doing?" Addison had just realized that the bandages were being taken off.
"Making it so it'll be easier to clean. The more blood these soak up, the harder they'll be to clean up and get rid of. Plus, it'll help stop the blood sooner." Lynn finished unwrapping, leaving Addison's stomach exposed.
"Alright Dr. Shamal is on his way now." Tsuna came back into the room. Once his sentence finished, there was a knock at his door.
"Serenity, you should go get that since you're not doing anything." Addison smiled.
"Fine." Serenity stood up and walked out of the room. "Andrew, what are you doing here?"
"Serenity? I could ask you the same question." Andrew crossed his arms. "Addison's mom gave me directions here, she came to look for her phone."
"I see, well wait here, and she'll be done in a minute or two." Serenity walked back to the dining room, leaving the front door open and Andrew in the door way.
"Ow." Addison gasp, Lynn putting a little too much pressure on the cut.
"Sorry." Lynn apologized quickly.
"Well don't push harder." Addison snapped.
"Oh, you don't know how perverted that sounds." Serenity just about fell out of her chair laughing.
Andrew decided to help himself inside. Serenity had left the door open for him, and he knew what room everyone was in. Slowly, closing the door behind him, Andrew walked towards the door Serenity had disappeared through.
"Yeah I do, shut up." Addison glared across the table.
"There you can use these bandages un. . . ." Lynn started but cut off when Addison spoke, staring at the door way. "Shit." She mumbled.
"Addison, are you ok?" Andrew flipped out running over to her side.
"I'm fine, it's nothing."
"Doesn't look like nothing."
"Calm down, I was practicing my martial arts and cut myself. It started bleeding again slightly while we were fighting."
"Why didn't you just tell me?"
"Because my mom doesn't know yet."
"This is your cousin?" Tsuna asked.
(A/n; forgot to mention, everything Andrew says with be in English- when Lynn, Serenity, or Addison talk to him, they speak in English- everything else would be in Japanese.)
"What did he say?" Andrew asked, looked at the brown haired boy who spoke.
"He asked if you were my cousin." Addison answered Andrew, then turning to Tsuna, "Yes, he is. Everyone, this is Andrew."
"Andrew," Lynn started, "it'll be easier if you go back to Addison's, I'm going to be coming home with her and we'll explain everything then."
"Alright, I guess." Andrew walked back to the front door.
"Wait, you can not tell my mom." Addison called.
"Got it." When he pulled the door opened to leave, there was a man standing there, about to knock. He had black hair, that's all Andrew noticed. "Someone's here." He called behind him, walking out the door.
"What?" Yamamoto wondered, helping Lynn and Tsuna put away the supplies.
"He said 'someone's here'." Addison explained, sitting up in her chair slightly.
"Dr. Shamal, come in." Reborn stood in the door way for the dining room and the hall way. Addison had started to stand when Dr. Shamal walked into the room.
"Sit down." Dr. Shamal commanded.
"I'm fine, I just needed to hide this from my mom."
"Standing this soon could make it worse."
Addison sat back in the chair as Dr. Shamal began to unwrap the bandages that had just been put on.
"You're probably going to need Serenity or me to be with you, you'll want to finish that fight." Lynn placed the aid kit on the table.
"You were fighting?" Reborn jumped onto the table.
"Me and my cousin have this thing going."
"If you fight him a lot then you'll definitely need someone with you."
"I think he's only staying for the weekend."
"It'll have to be Serenity or I, he only speaks English." Lynn leaned against the wall.
"I'm done." Dr. Shamal rose and began collecting the little things had brought together.
"Well I should go before my mom has a hissy fit." Addison stood from her chair.
"I don't like Andrew, you go." Serenity placed her feet upon the chair that Addison had just risen from.
"What ever." Lynn shrugged.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow, maybe." Addison walked over to the door, with Lynn following her.
"No fighting." Reborn called as the front door shut.
~Addison's~
"I'm back." Addison opened her front door.
"You ready to finish." Andrew grabbed Addison's hair and pulled back.
In mere seconds, Andrew was being pushed against the wall again. "You'll never win."
"Addison." Lynn crossed her arms.
"What, self defense." Addison let go of Andrew and walked into the kitchen. "I need some pain medicine."
"How badly does it hurt?" Lynn asked ask she plopped herself onto the couch, turning on the TV.
"Not too badly."
"Oh yeah, what was that all about?" Andrew followed her into the kitchen.
"I was practicing my martial arts last week and I cut myself."
"On what?"
"I don't know, something sharp." Addison placed an aspirin and took a sip of water.
"Oh Lynn, I didn't know you were over." Addison's mom came into the room. "What do you guys want for lunch?" she walked to the fridge as Addison and Andrew joined Lynn on the couch.
"Anything's fine." Addison looked into the fridge from her spot.
"Alright, how about you two?"
"I don't care." Lynn studied the person who came onto the screen.
"Same." Andrew nodded, trying to figure out what was going on in the show.
"Lynn, put something English on." Addison reached for the remote, but it was snatched from her grasp as she got closer.
"Fine, but I wanna pick the show." Lynn started flipping through the channels. There was a knock at the door, making everyone stop for a split second.
"Mom, door." Addison called back to the kitchen.
"Really?" Addison's mom glared.
"Fine." Addison sighed. "I'll get up." Addison dragged herself over to the door lazily, pulling it open when she got there. "Oh, it's you." Addison leaned against the door frame.
"Fine, I'll keep your cell phone." Serenity smirked, turning to leave.
"Wait, let me redo this." Addison paused. "Serenity! How nice of you to drop by, what brings you here? Come in." Addison pretended.
"Nice? HA!" Lynn laughed from the other room.
"Your cell phone at Tsuna's, it must have fallen out of your pocket or something." Serenity gritted though her teeth, getting slightly mad over Lynn's comment.
"May I have it back, best buddy?" Addison put one hand on her hip.
"Sure, here, I have no use for it." Serenity handed it to her, walking into the house.
"Glad to know that's why I got it back." Addison shut the door, heading back into the living room.
"So what are you guys doing?" Serenity plopped onto the second couch.
"Trying to find something on TV." Lynn sighed, not being able to find anything she liked. "Here, channels 1-50 are English. She gave the remote to Andrew.
"What are you doing here?" Addison asked, looking through her phone for any changes.
"Being the nice person I am and returning your phone." Serenity put her feet up on the coffee tabled.
"Feet down." Addison sat next to her, shoving her phone into her pocket.
"Ha!" Lynn laughed, then mumbled, "nice person."
"Lunch is ready." Addison's mom walked out of the kitchen and put three plates on the table. "Oh Serenity, when did you get here? Are you hungry?"
"Yes please." Serenity smiled extremely wide.
"Don't bother mom, I'm not hungry, she can have mine." Addison stretched out on the couch as Serenity got up with Lynn and Andrew.
"Alright then, put the plates next to the sink when you're done."
As Lynn and Serenity talked about homework, Addison was soon asleep on the couch. Addison's mom was out shopping, and Andrew kind of just sat there.
