Sorry about this late late update! I had a hard time trying to update this. And Now, FINALLY! I sorry about the grammars and other fault! I won't talk about crap and let's start!
Disclaimer: I do not own KHR. If I were, Tsuna would be boasting his power and postion to his classmates
At school Reborn and Giotto kept their eyes on Xanxus. To their surprise, Xanxus didn't make a move until the school over at all. They became EXTREMELY paranoid. Reborn even skipped a meeting for teachers, only to accompany Tsuna.
Giotto on the other hand noticed that Tsuna kept fidgeting and looked about to cry around him. He had asked why, she answered that she has a load of homework. Of course he noticed her lie but decided not to sue further.
Tsuna felt very nervous and somehow dizzy (the phobia's interference) around Giotto, she had a hard time maintaining her composure. And she made the lamest excuse of the year when Giotto asked her if she's fine.
Time skip: Dinner
Giotto and Tsuna prepared dinner like usual except that Reborn is there, to watch over the brunette. Giotto didn't ask him why since the Hitman would just ditch him.
Suddenly the bell rang. Even though he doesn't have hyper intuition, Reborn has a gut feeling as a hitman, and it told him to keep the stranger away from Tsuna. Hence, he volunteered to open the door.
When he opened it, his grip on the knob tightens but successfully maintained his blank expression.
"What do you want?" he asked the stranger with an unconcealed hatred in his tone.
"You should have known that" the stranger replied calmly.
"Reborn, who is that?" Tsuna asked from kitchen.
"No one" he said, loud enough for Tsuna to hear, "I'm going out for a while" he said again as he closed the door behind him, forgetting about Tsuna's problem concerning Giotto.
~With Tsuna & Giotto~
"I'm going out for a while" Tsuna heard Reborn said as color drained from her face. 'Shit! Reborn! Why must you leave?!' she shouted inwardly. She cooked the dinner faster, not wanting to be alone with the blonde.
Giotto stared at Tsuna. He knows that Tsuna avoid him for an unknown reason. He felt a pang of sadness at the brunette's attitude, he grabbed her hand.
Tsuna's face turns paler at the blonde's sudden movement.
"Tsuna-chan, why are you in a hurry?" he asked with sadness lacing his voice.
"I-I uh . . ." she said uncertainly. Suddenly Giotto hugged her. "Wha- Giotto!" she shouted. Giotto though ignored her and buried his face in the crook of her neck.
"Did I do something wrong? Please tell me. It hurts. At least tell me my fault" he pleaded. Tsuna flinched.
"N-no! It's not like that! It's just . . ." she stopped, confused as to how to put it. Giotto waited patiently, but one will thought he's waiting for the judge to sentence him to death by his expression.
"I-I'm s-sorry" she finally said. A question mark appeared on Giotto's blond head.
"What for?" he asked.
"I-It's j-just – I-I can't love you back. I-I'm sorry! Be-because of m-me y-you h-have to s-suffer" she rambled. Giotto blinked, after the words sink in he gaped 'What! Where did she hear that from?!'
"Tsu-Tsuna-chan, h-how . . .?"He asked with a terrified expression.
"I-I o-overheard your c-conversation with x-x-xan-x-xus at the e-entrance – I-I'm sorry!" she answered as she stumbled on Xanxus' name. Giotto smacked himself inwardly 'why didn't I notice her presence? Maybe I was too occupied with Xanxus'.
"Don't apologize to me Tsuna-chan" he reassured her. Tsuna tilted her head upwards with teary eyes and pink cheeks. Giotto tried to look away from those eyes. He might not control himself if he keeps staring into those eyes.
"You don't have to love me back" he continued. Tsuna tilted her head to the side cutely. Giotto faked a cough to hold his nose from bleeding.
"I-I mean, I've never have expected anything. I know you can't love me back. That's why" he patted Tsuna's head "I only want to be your older brother figure" he said softly, ignoring the stinging in his heart.
"R-really?" she asked and Giotto replied with a nod.
"B-but- "
"It's okay. So, can I still be your big brother?" he asked uncertainly. Tsuna looks hesitant for a while but nod nonetheless.
"Thank you" Giotto said sincerely.
~With Reborn & the stranger~
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived in the park.
"What is it do you want, Xanxus?" Reborn asked.
"Hn. Kidnap Tsunayoshi, rape her to bear my child, and force her to marry me." Xanxus said casually. Reborn's right eye twitched.
"Fuck you" he said as he pulled Leon-gun and shot it at Xanxus. The latter dodged it by a millimeter. Feeling offended, Xanxus also pulled out his guns and started shooting like a maniac towards the Hitman. Reborn dodged all the bullets gracefully. Then he saw an opening and without doubt shot it. Xanxus saw the incoming attack but failed to dodge it. It hit on his nerve on his right arm which makes it unusable. He grumbled.
"How dare you?!" he shouted angrily. He shot with all his might with his left arm. But Reborn kept dodging it with the smallest movement needed and it ticked Xanxus off. Reborn shot his gun to the ground. Xanxus knows this trick but he doesn't know how to evade it. Reborn shot another bullet at him, Xanxus dodged it to the right, scowling at the Hitman all the while. To his surprise the Hitman was smirking. He's about to shoot when two bullets came out from the ground. He nearly got hit by it. He growled and Reborn shot another bullet to his left arm, specifically on his nerve. As both of his hands are unusable he ran to the Hitman and tried to kick him on the gut. Reborn blocked it with his hands and used a karate chop on Xanxus' nerve on his legs, another unusable body part. He dropped on the ground, panting, he shot a glare at the Hitman.
"I'll be shipping you back to Italy" Reborn said as he called someone with Leon-phone and turned away.
"Fuck no!" Xanxus shouted. His ring glowed; his box weapon reacted and automatically went out. Xanxus smirked.
"Go, Bester" he ordered, Bester roared and charged at Reborn. Reborn, who still on the phone and backing them, looked past his shoulder to see a lion hybrid charging towards him. His eyes widened a millimeter. He's too late, Bester's already behind him 'Fuck'. Before he could turn around, Bester clawed his back, leaving three deep gashes on his back. Blood slowly dripping from it. He turned around to face the lion. He shot a bullet at the lion's paw, it was so fast that Bester couldn't react and let his paw to be wounded. He roared again and ran towards Reborn. He dodged to the right, when the lion was right beside him, he kicked the lion's gut, sending it flying to the tree and knocked it out. He sighed. A black limo suddenly parked near them. Reborn sighed again. Men in black went out from the limo and chained Xanxus and Bester. A man turned to him with a salute.
"Reborn-sama we will safely bring him to the Ninth" Reborn nodded. The guy nodded, went to the limo and disappeared in the dark.
"Finally . . ." Reborn muttered as he walked home.
He arrived home after a few minutes. He opened the door and closed it with barely any sound to not make a certain brunette worry about his wound. Because of the fight, his clothes are little tattered and singed at some points. But Tsuna's hyper intuition felt him as she walked out the kitchen. She clasped her mouth.
"Oh my goodness! What happened, Reborn?" she asked as she ran to the Hitman to examine him. She gasped again when she saw the gashes on his back. She forced him to sit on the floor while she cleaned the wound.
"Don't worry" he said trying to calm the brunette down. Giotto, hearing Tsuna's shout, also went out from the kitchen. Seeing the raven haired man state, he ran searching for first aid without a word. Tsuna on the other hand worriedly opened Reborn's jacket and shirt. His heart skipped a beat as he looked away with small blushes. The brunette though, remained oblivious and cleaned the wound. Soon Giotto appeared with a first aid. They both worked hard to close the wound with bandages. When they finished they sighed in relief. But Tsuna's facial expression changed the next second.
"What have you done? You make us worry idiot!" she shouted. Then she lowered her head, hands trembling. She clasped Reborn's hands and holds it up to her face as if praying.
"Thank goodness you're okay" she said barely above whisper. Giotto, realizing the situation, went to his room, but not before he mouthed 'Don't hurt her' to Reborn. The latter surprisingly, smiled and nodded, which is very out character of him.
Seeing the blonde left, Reborn smirked. "Does that mean you're worried about me?" he asked, intending to tease the brunette. Unexpectedly, Tsuna raised her head to face Reborn straight in the eyes.
"Of course I am!" she exclaimed. When she realized what she'd done, she ducked her head again, blushing furiously.
"What's wrong?" he asked again. Tsuna shook her head. That's when she realized she's still holding onto Reborn's hands, she immediately let go.
"I-I'm s-sorry" she apologized. To her surprise, Reborn took her hands and looked at her straight in the eyes just like what she did.
"W-what?" Tsuna asked, trying to hide her blush.
"Are you scared of me?"He asked. Tsuna blinked.
"W-why do you think like that?" she asked back.
"Because I love you" Tsuna's eyes widened. When she regains control of her body, the stupid trembling back full force, she looks like she's in the brink of fainting. Reborn, noticing Tsuna's reaction, hugs her tightly. She sat between his legs.
"I'm sorry but no need to fear me" he said "I'll help you cure that phobia" he finished.
"W-what? How?" she asked. Reborn shrugged.
"I'll think of that later. For now, can I kiss you?" Tsuna blushed at his question, almost as red as tomato.
"N-no, you cannot!" she stated. Her body shook violently that it almost vibrates. Reborn stared at her for a while, then he said.
"Yes, I can" Tsuna was about to retort back but a pair of soft lip shut her up.
"Nnh. . . "
Tsuna closed her eyes tightly. After realizing the situation she pulled back and clamped his mouth.
"Wait!" she said, blushing all the while. Reborn scowled, almost resembling a pout. If Tsuna was not too shocked with their kiss, she would be giggling at how funny the man's expression was.
"Why? You like it do you?" he asked.
"Y-You – N-NO! I-I c-can't l-l-o-love you!" she said. Reborn sighed. He hugs her then he lowered his head to Tsuna's ear. He whispered to her ear
"I said I'm going to heal you. I always stick to my word. Even if it costs my life" Tsuna blushed again.
"B-but i-it's i-impo - " the same lips shut her again. Reborn nibbled on her lower lip, asking for an entrance. At first Tsuna didn't budge but soon she gave up and opened her mouth. Reborn smirked in the kiss and quickly take advantage, he slipped his tongue in. He keeps bugging the other tongue to play and finally the other does. Their tongues danced a complicated dance, which only them who know the steps. Their lips separated for air. Tsuna panted, clutching Reborn's sleeve.
"I . . . Said . . . It's . . . Impo-"
"No, it's not" Reborn said sternly, cutting her off. And he kissed her again. But this time more passionate and demanding. They separated their lips again. Tsuna panted hard while Reborn smirked. He felt the brunette no longer struggling.
"Don't be so pessimistic. I'll cure your phobia. I promise" he said, resting his chin on Tsuna's head. Even though she feels scared, her fear is slowly dissipating. She's starting to feel more comfortable around him
"I'll keep your promise" she said, snuggling to Reborn's neck, making herself more comfortable.
"Yeah"
Tsuna stirred and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw in the morning is Reborn's handsome face. She, still half-asleep, brushed Reborn's cheek, admiring the man's face.
"Like my sleeping face?" Startled, Tsuna retreated her hand, but a bigger hand holds hers.
"I don't mind it, heck, I like it" he said, brushing Tsuna's hand against his cheek.
"What the heck! Stop it!" she said as she pulled her hand. She sits up.
"I need to go to school" she said. Then she blinked.
"W-where's my clothes?!" she asked, panicked. Reborn used one of his hands as a stand for his head and yawned.
"Well, I took it off. The bra you're wearing is cute by the way" she blushed.
"Wh-what have you done you idiot?! And where's your clothes?" she asked.
"Maybe to cure your phobia, you need more skin contact with the one you love. And I just wanted to. It'll give me more access" Tsuna stared in disbelief at him.
"So . . . You really . . . We have . . ." she said, too shocked to form a complete sentence.
"Maybe. Do you hurt somewhere?" he asked casually.
"N-no" she said after a while.
"There's your answer. Now, hurry up and get ready. You have to go to school"
"How 'bout you get out first!" she shouted. Reborn shrugged and make himself more comfortable.
"Geez" Tsuna said as she got up.
Tsuna took a shower and wore her uniform in the bathroom. When she finished she went to her room to drag a certain raven out. She opened the door, not bothering to knock.
"Reborn, get . . . out . . ." she finished lamely. She saw Reborn sipping his espresso with his usual neat attire.
"When did you get ready?" she asked, right eye twitching. Reborn smirked like usual.
"You still have much to learn, dame-Tsuna" Tsuna's eye twitched again.
"Just get the hell out of here!"She shouted. To her relief, Reborn stood up and walked to the door. Tsuna sighed, 'finally'.
"Dame-Tsuna" he called. On reflex tsuna looked up at the hitman who stopped in front of her. Reborn gave her a peck on the lips and walked out. Tsuna blushed.
"Geez, that jerk" she muttered.
In the kitchen, Tsuna saw Giotto preparing breakfast, like usual and Reborn drinking espresso, like usual.
"Good morning Tsuna-chan!" Giotto greeted with a blinding smile. But his facial expression turns into a hateful one when he faced Reborn.
"Greet her too Reborn" he hissed. Reborn tilted his fedora up to show his eyes and smirk.
"There's no need when the first thing she did in the morning was admiring my face, right?" The other two became silence. When what Reborn said finally sink in, Tsuna blushed while Giotto's eye twitched.
"D-don't say it you idiot!" Tsuna shouted.
"So . . . you two . . . sleep together . . .?" Giotto asked, hand pointing to Tsuna then to Reborn. Tsuna blushed redder.
"No, we didn't!" Tsuna answered. Then her face turned hesitant "umm . . . well we slept together BUT we didn't do anything! I swear!" she said, holding up her hands and shook it frantically. Giotto nodded slowly, not knowing what else to say. He shot a warning glare towards Reborn. The latter tipped his fedora down but his smirk is still showing. A vein popped on Giotto's temple.
"Make a line you damn Hitman!" he snarled. Tsuna sighed.
"Stop it you two. Let's make breakfast, Giotto" she said as she walked to the counter. When she walked pass the Hitman, he grabbed her arm and kissed her passionately. He pulled her to sit on his lap. And Tsuna had no power to defy.
"Stop it!" she said as she pulled her lips from the Hitman.
"What was that for?" she asked. Reborn gave her a last peck and answered.
"To make you used to it. You need more skin contact to heal your phobia" Tsuna blushed again.
"Is there no other way?" she asked, avoiding Reborn's gaze.
"Nope, and I like it this way better than anything else" he said, amused. Before a fight could ensue between them, Giotto pulled Tsuna on her feet.
"I said make a line. At least don't do it in front of me" the blond muttered the last part.
"You jealous?" Reborn asked teasingly. Tsuna blushed.
"Don't say it like that! There's no-"
"Yes, I am" the blond stated straight forwardly. Tsuna lowered her head.
"I'm sorry" she apologized, guilt laced her voice. Giotto smiled contentedly.
"It's okay" he said, ruffling her hair. Tsuna hesitantly tugged on his sleeve. Giotto turned to her with a questioning gaze. To his and Reborn's surprise, Tsuna gave the blonde a kiss on the cheek. He gaped with wide eyes while Reborn, who watched the whole scene, reached out to his gun.
"Tsu . . . na-chan?" Giotto said still on the other hand trembled. The phobia is still lingering but it healed slowly thanks to Reborn. She smiled shakily.
"I-I can't love you back but I think I can give you that" she said shyly. Reborn stood up and hugged her possessively.
"She's mine" he declared. Giotto tch-ed.
"I know that" he said as he turned to his cooking. Fortunately, he turned off the gas before.
"Wha- Reborn let go!" Tsuna protested as she wriggled in Reborn's hug.
"Or what?" he asked mockingly. Tsuna stopped wriggling to think.
"I-I – You will not touch me for a week" she said, smirking. Reborn's face remained blank but deep down he's worried about the threat.
"Hn. Fine, you have to cook anyway" he said as he shrugged. Tsuna pouted.
"So that didn't work . . ." she muttered. Reborn smirked.
"Even if I keep hugging you, you will keep in touch with me. You can't avoid me for a week" he said teasingly. Tsuna scowled (pouted).
"I can! Just you see" she declared. Reborn hummed while smirking smugly at her.
"We'll see" he said.
Giotto watched as the lover or soon-to-be-married-couple bickered childishly. He sighed.
"Yare, yare . . ." he said as he shook his head. He tasted his cooking and smiled.
"I wish you happy Tsuna"
~10 years later~
"Mom!" 5 years old child exclaimed happily. He has black gravity-defying hair, black doe-eyes and chubby cheeks.
"Come here honey" said the mother. Her name is Sawada Tsunayoshi or also known as Vongola Decimo. The child squealed in delight and hopped on her lap.
"Mom, where's daddy?" he asked looking up at her mother. Tsuna chuckled.
"He'll be here soon" she said. As if on cue the door opened revealing Reborn.
"Chaos" he greeted as he walked to them. They're in Tsuna's office in Vongola HQ.
"Daddy!" the child squealed again. Reborn smiled and ruffled the boy's spiky hair.
"What is it, Retsu?" he asked.
"Why did you marry mom?" he asked. Tsuna and Reborn blinked.
"Why do you want to know?" Reborn asked as he sat down beside his wife.
"I just read a story! It says that if two persons married, they will never be separated. Why you don't want to be separated from mom?" he asked with sparkly eyes.
"Because I love her" Reborn answered. He notices Tsuna's blush and smirked in amusement. Even though she had always heard him say something like that, she still blushed. Retsu blinked.
"Love? What is that?" he asked, tilting his head to the side cutely.
"It's something you feel when you're around someone you hold dear" he explained. Retsu's face lit up.
"Then I love you mom, dad! Can I marry you?" he asked with sparkle around him. Tsuna and Reborn chuckled.
"You can't" Tsuna said in between her chuckle. Retsu pouted.
"Why?" he asked curiously. Reborn ruffled his hair again.
"You'll understand someday" he answered. Retsu puffed his cheeks. Then he looked up to his mother.
"Are you happy being loved by dad, mom?" he asked innocently. Tsuna smiled and kissed his forehead.
"Of course I am"
And that's a wrap. Hope that satisfy you!
