Special Chapter 2: Why The Espresso Machine is to be Respected or, Mafia Law # 7: Never Mess with Reborn's Espresso

It was a bright, sunny day. The birds were singing, the Sky was blue, there wasn't a Cloud in sight, the Mist had been burnt by the Sun, and the espresso machine was broken... hence why Tsuna was upset, Hibari had fled, and Mukuro was currently in the Vongola's Emergency Room. Reborn had found the broken machine and Mukuro was the closest idi... I mean person. Reborn took a look at the espresso machine, then looked at Mukuro, then his broken producer of Liquid Life. Mukruo didn't stand a chance. Reborn didn't even reach for his gun. He beat the Mist into the ground then poured sake over him before dropping a lit lighter on his chest. Hence the 'burnt' line. After that, the hit-man went around the headquarters asking for a cup of good coffee. Those that couldn't deliver were dealt with with extreme prejudice. Inquires were also made as to why and how the machine was broken, as well as who broke it. Tsuna had to freeze Reborn just to make sure that the poor man wasn't murdered brutally on the front lawn. With a sprinkler. And a garden gnome. Poor Juan was never the same after that. Rumor has it he worships an espresso maker that he keeps in a room filled with fine coffee, but no-one knows if that's true. What they do know to be true is that no-one can live while Reborn is deprived of his coffee. He rampaged through the headquarters and nearly killed half their men before Kyoko, the saint like younger sister of the Sun Guardian, stepped up, grabbed his gun, and held out a large, steaming mug while saying, "You don't get my signature espresso unless you put away the gun and apologize to Tsu-kun for wrecking his home." Reborn nodded and she let go of his gun, which he quickly put away before he went to find the young Decimo who was already in his office working on paperwork. Reborn genuinely felt a bit guilty, standing there and watching the young man he had mentored dutifully working on paperwork with a frown and soulful eyes, tears threatening to form.

"Tsunayoshi," he began. The young brunette grunted, not even pausing in his signing. "I'm sorry, Tsunayoshi." That got the young boss to look up, a single eyebrow cocked in question. "I shouldn't have let my emotions get the best of me. My behavior was childish and has caused you undue stress. For this, I apologize," the hit man said, bowing his head a little. Tsuna sighed and put down his pen, linking his fingers on top of his desk and giving his tutor an even look.

"Kyoko put you up to this, didn't she," he stated. It may have sounded like a question to those who didn't know the young man, but to Reborn, it was very much a statement of fact. Had it been any other time, he might have smirked in pride at the young man's subtly. But now was not the time. He sighed.

"Yes."

"Her signature espresso?"

"Yes."

"Smelled good, didn't it."

"Yes."

"It's as good as it smells, Reborn." The hit man gave the boy a searching look. "One cannot live with you for three years without learning to appreciate a good espresso, Reborn. Just like they cannot live with you for two years and not learn to make a good espresso. I've had Kyoko's espresso many times when I couldn't go to bed because I had too much paperwork."

"I really am sorry." Tsuna raised an incredulous eyebrow. "You have enough on your plate with your Guardians and the rest of your Familia without me adding to it." Tsuna sighed, dropping his head down on his intertwined hands. Then he snorted. "What?"

"Now I know how to control you, Reborn."

"Oh?"

"Withhold Kyoko's espresso."

"I'd kill anyone who tried who wasn't Kyoko."

"I know. But I have Kyoko's ear, as well as her affection."

"Only you, Dame-Tsuna. Only you," Reborn said before leaving. Tsuna smiled as the door closed behind his tutor. The 'man' might be course, rough, tough, sadistic, and a painful teacher, but he had a good heart under all the darkness. He was kind, under the sadism, and he shared a special relationship with the brunette, as did all who came in contact with the True Sky of Vongola.

A/N: I realize my reactions to these videos has been lacking lately. I apologize. Also, I am marking this complete and will only be posting more when I get the funny back in these drabbles. When I have five chapters, that are actually funny(unlike this one) I will reopen this story. I apologize for the inconvenience but there are things in life more important than the next chapter of a fan fiction. Until my muse returns, my dear followers! Now, please leave a review stating what line of Shakespeare you would like Tsuna to randomly spout whenever Hibari looks especially dour and grim. Preferably something that would make everyone else in the room laugh when Tsuna says it in a poor imitation of Hibari so I can add it to one of the actually funny chapters. Cheers!
