Chapter 7

Tsuna immediately saw his mother. She was sitting at a table with Lambo in her arms. The little calf was stuffing his face with a mini chocolate cake. He looked like he was chitchatting to himself and Mama. Mama was smiling at the small cow who looked like he was having a great time. Tsuna started heading over to their table with the older two boys following behind. Mama looked up and saw her son heading toward with two tall, strong boys closely behind him.

Mama felt concerned about the two boys being around her son. These boys have shown to care about Tsuna these past two weeks. Even so, as the mother of "Dame-Tsuna", she knew what those bullies called her son. In the past, she tried to stand up for her boy, but now, her son tried to hide the pain and the scars. Her eyes always held hope when she looked at the boys, but her heart gave pain. 'I hope these boys will be with Tsu-kun for a little longer.' Tsuna now stood in front of her with a bright smile.

"Hello, Tsu-kun, Yamamoto-kun, and Gokudera-kun! How was school today?"

"Good. Everyone enjoyed the Salisbury steak you made. I believe even Hibari-san liked. Thank you."

"Haha! Yeah, it was really good!"

"Thank you. It was delicious."

Mama beamed at the three teens. "You're welcome! Just consider it my thanks for taking such great care of Tsu-kun!"

"MOM!"

"Haha! No problem. Tsunayoshi has been a really great friend to us. I know I don't have to tell you this, but he's an awesome guy!" Yamamoto shouted as he smiled widely.

Tsuna stared in shock at what he heard and began to blush. He has never been complimented before. He has only ever heard others call him "Dame-Tsuna". Gokudera made a soft sound from behind him. Tsuna turned to look back at the older, silver-haired teen who was nodding in agreement with what was said. He turned back around blushing and smiling even harder. He felt lucky to have them as his friends. He felt extremely lucky to even have friends at all. Mama smiled with happiness and pride. 'Finally, someone else can see Tsu-kun for who he is,' she thought to herself.

Lambo had been ignoring everything happening around him as he continued to munch on his chocolate cake. Tsuna noticed the small calf finally looking up from his cake once he was finished with it. He lifted the little boy out of his mom's arms. Lambo saw his new big brother reaching for him. As he was looking up at his new brother, he could see a black hair, tall teen on his right, and on the left, he could only see a flash of silver. Lambo wrapped his arms around his new big brother.

"Are you ready to buy things for your room, Lambo-kun?" Tsuna asked the calf as he held him close. Lambo was going to answer his brother when silver suddenly flashed again from behind his big brother.

"Bakadera!"

"Stupid cow!"

The little cow and the silver haired teen yelled out as their eyes landed on each other. Tsuna looked back at Gokudera, surprised by his outburst. Lambo was now sticking his tongue out at Gokudera. While at the same time, Gokudera, himself, was now growling back at Lambo and glaring at the small calf.

"Do you know Lambo-kun, Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna asked worried by his glaring that they might hate each other or be on bad terms.

"... Yeah, I met him at an orphanage that I ran away from earlier in life." Gokudera said looking at Lambo still but with a less anger glare. "He was an annoying kid I was stuck with to take care of often."

"Oh," Tsuna said surprised. Tsuna looked at the two wondering if he should be worried about the hostile looks they gave each other. Tsuna felt like they were hiding something from him, but he decided against bringing it up.

"Now, now you two," laughed Yamamoto, "no fighting. We're all friends here, right?" Tsuna smiled again as he heard Yamamoto's carefree and calming voice broke a tension that he didn't really notice was around. Gokudera and Lambo huffed at each other before turning away from each other as children do when they ignore their parent's scolding or even each other.

We began to look around the shops. Tsuna held Lambo's hand as they headed down the street. They saw many clothing and sweet shops all around them.

"Lambo wants candy! Lambo wants takoyaki!" Lambo tried to pull Tsuna to the closest vendor shop.

"Lambo-kun, we need to only look at shops to buy things for your room." Tsuna scolded Lambo as they continued down the street to where more home care and living shops were located.

The first shop they stopped at was a paint and lumber store. Mama decided to leave to get Lambo a new desk and wardrobe. The room only had a table and bed. While Mama left for that Tsuna and the boys left to get paint for the walls.

"So Lambo-kun, do you want to change the blue walls and clouds?" Tsuna asked.

"Mmm. Lambo wants to have blue walls and gigantic white clouds all around!"

Tsuna laughed as he grabbed some white and blue paint. He decided to redo the paint job and make bigger clouds in the room since Lambo wanted them.

"What should we do about the clouds? Should we get a tensile to sketch it out?" Tsuna asked as they continued to look around.

"Actually, I could probably do it…" Gokudera mumbled from behind Tsuna. "I can do some artwork so it shouldn't be too hard. Should be simple." Tsuna turned around and smiled.

"Thank you, Gokudera-kun!"

They bought the paint and headed out. Mama had finished ordering everything for Lambo's room and have it be delivered tomorrow to the house. They continued to look around and found another shop. The shop was a home living store.

The group headed to the area with bed sheets. Tsuna and Yamamoto looked at some blue and white sheets and comforters while Gokudera looked at the pillows, but no one noticed Lambo had disappeared from sight.

"Lambo-kun, what do you- Lambo! Where are you? Where did you go, otouto?" Tsuna yelled as he noticed his little brother was gone from his sight. Tsuna looked around calling his name. The others all began to look around for the little calf while Yamamoto tried to calm the nervous brunet. Suddenly, they saw Lambo come running to them with a blanket that he was dragging behind himself.

"Gomen Tsuna-nii!" Lambo apologizes as he ran to his big brother's open arms. "Lambo saw it, and Lambo wants!" He handed Tsuna the comforter he was dragging around. Tsuna stared at it and saw it was a bright green blanket, a shade away from grass green, with yellow lightning on it. "Lambo wants!" Lambo declared a final time as he stared into Tsuna's eyes with stars in his own eyes.

Everyone looked at it and Lambo curiously. Gokudera knew Tsuna had been extremely worried just a moment ago and Lambo was now selfishly wanting a blanket, not even apologizing. He was about to tell the bratty cow just how much of a fool he was when Tsuna hugged Lambo as tears escape his eyes.

"Of course Lambo-kun, whatever you want. Next time, don't run off by yourself and take one of us with you."

Lambo looked at the others worried that he somehow hurt his Tsuna-nii. "Lambo's sorry! Lambo won't do bad again, please… Don't be mad!" Lambo began to cry to the brunet. Tsuna looked at the scene in shock before lifting the little calf up. He stared into his teary eyes.

"I'm not mad Lambo-kun. I was worried. You're my little brother now. I want you safe at all times." Tsuna said with determined eyes and a silent promise to always protect him.

The group finished shopping for Lambo's room after that. They ended up buying a wardrobe, a desk, a toy chest, some paint, the bed sheets, and a rug. Now, the group was relaxing at the park. Mama sat on a bench as she watched the grown teens play with Lambo. Gokudera stood a small distance away from the playful group while Yamamoto climbed with Lambo through the play castle. Tsuna stood by the two playmates. The small brunet was jumping around and calling to them to be careful like the wonderful worry wort he was.

There were vendors around them with snacks and drinks to sell to the parents and children there. Tsuna looked up as he saw a small, thin looking child walking up to the ice cream vendor shop that was right in front of Tsuna. Tsuna continued to watch the kid. Suddenly, the child tripped on the rocks in front of her. She fell on her face and began to cry and scream from the pain.

Everyone's attention was now on the small child in pain. Salespeople and parents with children went to the child in worry to take care of the young girl. Tsuna continued to look at the little girl feeling a pain in his head. 'Intuition? What's wrong?' Tsuna notices Lambo and Gokudera. They seemed to be whispering to each other.A moment later, Gokudera pointed down toward some bushes that were near a vendor's shop.

A small child quickly ran out of the bushes and to one of the unattended shops with a bag, and he began to stuff the merchandise into the bag. He saw the skinny child take water, fruit, and veggies. Tsuna noticed how the little kid kept glancing at the other child on the ground who had adults gathered around her. Tsuna walked over to the little boy and grabbed his hand, surprising the child.

"Don't scream," the brunet ordered the smaller brunet. "You don't want to get caught stealing, now do you?"

The little boy was in shock that the tall teen caught him. He felt himself being pulled away from the vendor's shop. Before the teen and he left the shop, he placed money on the counter. The small brunet was stunned at what he saw and then was dragged away again. The little boy was taken to two others. A silver-haired delinquent and a carefree fool. He was left with them as the taller brunet left him. He saw the teen heading to his friend on the ground.

Tsuna walked up to the little girl and knelt down to her whispering "Calm down, sweet child. Why don't you come with me and see your friend?" He began to lift her into his arms as he leads her away from the crowd. The tiny girl was scared and surprised. She had seen what he did with her friend and was scared of what he would do to them.

They made it back to the group. The little girl looked at her friend. He could tell she was frightened and personally, he was too. They stared at the teens who surrounded them.

"Stay calm, okay? Why don't you go join your friend?" Tsuna said as he smiled brightly to the girl as he set her down. She looked at her ally who still gripped the full bag in his hands. She sat next to Yamamoto and her friend. Tsuna sat next to Gokudera and the small boy.

"So, what was happening? Why do you have to do such things?" he asked them. They stayed silent.

"They are most likely street kids. Steal for food and have no home to return to, or at least, they don't want to return to it." Gokudera said softly and sympathetically. Tsuna noticed the soft look he gave Lambo then to the other kids.

"I see," Tsuna said as he looks to his mother who they were now sitting with on the benches."Mom, their situation, I'm sure you already know, is horrible. Can we see about taking them in?"

"Sure, Tsu-kun!" she exclaimed excitedly. "I was thinking the same thing!" Tsuna knew his mom would never leave children on the streets. His mom was too caring to leave them to suffer anywhere. It was just not the right thing to do.

Tsuna looked back at the two confused children next to him. They now had more curiosity about what Tsuna was talking about that anything else.

"I'm Tsuna, the mean looking one is Gokudera-kun, and the one full of grins is Yamamoto. What're your names?"

"I'm Fuuta and she's Ipin."

"Those are cute names!" Mama screamed as she looked at them with her motherly smile.

"Where are you from? You both look like foreigners." Yamamoto noticed.

"..."

"That's okay!" Tsuna patted them on their heads. They looked up at the brunet in surprise. "So what do you two think about coming with us?"

"..."

"Would you like to come home with us to get some food?"

"..."

"How about coming home with us and getting a good night's rest too?"

"Lambo loves it there! You two will too!"

"You want us to live with you?" Fuuta finally spoke, being the courageous one.

"Yeah, you two will love home. How about we all head over there now? Try spending the night and if you want to leave, you can." Tsuna spoke to them. They stared at Tsuna for a moment. They still felt unsure but this teen made them feel safe. Slowly they nodded their heads. Tsuna broke out into his gorgeous smile that lit everyone's mood up. The big group all stared at him before each breaking out their own smiles.

"Let's go then!"
