"Fon, can I bunk with you?" Dino asked, standing in the doorway to Fon's room.
Fon blinked. Dumbledore was kind of enough to give them a room with four bedrooms, one for each of them. "What happened to your room?" he asked.
Dino pointed to the door across from the shared common area, where his room laid. "Well, Tsuna apparently took one look at Ayame, decided that she hasn't been sleeping properly again and dragged her off to bed. I don't think he realized he entered my bedroom. Somewhere along the way, Reborn got mixed up and right now all three of them are asleep on my bed."
Ah. Well that would explain it. Fon was beginning to get concerned over the dark bags under Ayame's eyes. It seemed her odd sleeping habits had followed to Hogwarts.
As for why Dino didn't just use Reborn or Ayame's room, well the answer was obvious. Dino valued his life and despite the fact that there were empty beds, challenging Reborn or Ayame would most likely end painfully. Smart man. Reborn was Reborn and Ayame's sleeping habits were sensitive enough that Fon didn't want to chance it. There was no way he was going to be responsible for effecting Ayame's sleeping ability.
"Of course," Fon said. "I don't take up much space."
"Thanks," Dino said.
That left one thing. The camera Fon could see in Dino's pocket. "Did you take a picture?" Fon asked, eyebrow raised in a questioning manner.
"Of course. Reborn taught me how to accumulate blackmail; he's not an exception," Dino said mildly.
"Only if he finds out, you'll go back into his hellfire training," Fon pointed out. "Ayame might throw you out the window too."
Dino smiled innocently. "Not if I show it to Tsuna first."
Gutsy. "You've been hanging out with the three of them too much," Fon said. Slytherins, the three of them and it clearly showed. Or possibly this was just Dino's simple nature of a born and raised mafioso don. "And you've let me known that it exists so that when Reborn and Ayame do evidently find out, you can claim me as your partner in crime."
Dino's smile grew wider.
Devious. Reborn might have taught Dino a little too well.
Ayame is an insomniac with some very strange sleeping habits. See Chapter 8 of We Weren't Born to Follow for the most obvious example (but it pops up all over the place.) Said sleeping habits include things like sleeping in Tsuna's bed, Yamamoto's closet and under Hana's kitchen table. Over the course of the story, Reborn often shares a bed with Tsuna. See chapter 15 of WWBtF for an example.
Sometimes, I feel like people don't explore Dino and Reborn's relationship enough or to the full extent of it.
