Chapter 6

"Ciaossu." "Are you there Naruto?"

"Yo Reborn-san, Tsu-kun." Naruto didn't even look up from his laptop when Tsuna and the others walked into his living room. His fingers were typing on the keyboard at breakneck speed as computer code flew across the screen.

Naruto was oblivious to the rest of the world setting on his couch wearing nothing but his reading glasses and a pair of jeans that were hanging loosely off of his waist showing the top part of his boxers that were pink with red hearts. Reborn eyes narrowed seeing the scars that covered his chest and arms. The largest scar that was over his heart looked like he was struck point blank with Lightning Flames.

Hearing his student's defeated sigh as the rest of them got comfortable in Naruto's kitchen he stared him down with a look that demanded answers. "I've seen him before when he gets like this and he'll block out everything around him until he's done or something he owns gets destroyed." Tsuna had a small rain cloud hanging over his head remembering the last time he tried confessing to Naruto when he was like that only for him to get tuned out completely. Standing on his shoulder dressed in a raincoat Reborn watched on with a frown seeing his pacifier glow for a brief second before fading back to normal.

Looking back over to the couch Reborn sighed because sure enough Lambo was running around Naruto's living room shouting about his greatness while Gokudera was chasing after him and Naruto didn't blink an eye until a plate got knocked over. Picking up the gun lying at his side Naruto blind fired towards their direction not once breaking his pace with his other hand.

"What the hell tomato bastard!" Gokudera was on the floor rubbing his shoulder where the rubber bullet hit him while Lambo was hiding behind Yamamoto since the bullet hit the wall near him.

"Naruto..."

"Hm?"

Watching the others heads into the kitchen too study leaving only Fuuta who was setting next to Naruto watching him work Reborn was tempted to ask for a ranking but had a better idea.

"Where did you learn computer programming?"

"My uncle taught me since he needed a competent assistant."

Naruto ignored him as he landed on the coffee table only answering out of reflex as his fingers typed faster, to engrossed in whatever he was working on.

"Who's your uncle?"

"Verde."

Reborn's eyes widened by the smallest fraction that was the only sign showing how surprised he was. After the phone call from Shamal asking if he could get Naruto near the hospital sometime in the next couple of days he figured something was up about the kid but not this. With his fedora shadowing his eyes he came to a solution. As long as he was careful with his questions he could find out more information than Naruto would normally tell him.

"So Verde's your uncle... What about your parents?"

"He's not really my uncle I just call him that. Kaa-sans dead, don't know about the old man either."

"Why would he teach you if you're not related?"

"He owed kaa-san a life debt over something he won't tell me but after a while he just enjoyed keeping me around the lab."

"Do you work for any specific family."

"Freelance."

That was good if Naruto wasn't related to Verde only calling him his uncle he could deal with it. Jumping up into Fuuta's lap he glanced at the laptop watching as numbers and different schematics flashed across the screen.

"Do you know any of the other Arcobaleno?"

"Only meet three others besides you."

"How much did Tsuna know before I arrived?"

"Mostly the different Flames types and that he needed to look for his Guardians."

"What's your primary Flame type?"

Whatever Naruto was about too say was cut off by the loud explosion coming from his kitchen. Naruto was up and on his feet in seconds running towards the sound of coughing. As the smoke started clearing he came face to face with a handsome, teen wearing a cow-print button-up dress shirt and black slacks. Looking around for a second confused only for his eyes to widen as he recognized his surroundings turning too stare directly at Naruto with a smile on his face.

"If it isn't young Naruto senpai." He took a step forward only to stop when Naruto's guns started glowing with his Rain Flames. "Lambo?" Teen Lambo was still smiling staring down the barrel of the gun pointed at him.

"The one and only senpai. I'm glad my younger self used the bazooka again especially since your dressed like that." Hearing what he just said Naruto looked down only for his head to snap back up when he saw the flash of a camera going off. He growled seeing Teen Lambo doing a small victory dance with a cell phone in his hand.

"This is so worth it even if you'll kick my ass when I get back. By the way you look better as a blond senpai." That was all he said before Teen Lambo was engulfed in pink smoke, leaving young Lambo behind. Lambo was just setting on the floor eating out of a bag of candy that appeared out of nowhere.

"Maa, Maa Lambo sure seems happy." Yamamoto said with a small laugh throwing his arm around Naruto. "What are you doing in my home?" Naruto asked finally noticing the others setting at his table with their school books out. 'How did I miss them.' Naruto thought seeing Tsuna with a small blush avoiding looking his way and Gokudera glaring daggers at either him or Yamamoto.

"Well I needed some help with an assignment and the baby suggested we study at your place." Yamamoto said grinning with his arm still slung around his neck.

"Sure make yourself at home I guess, just let me grab a shirt." Naruto shrugged picking up the laptop where he left it and walking down the hall towards his room.

Tsuna was watching him walking away until a kick to his head sent him falling backwards. "Mafia bosses down get caught staring." Reborn told him with a smirk. He had a plan in the works to get a few things done in the next few days.

"We've been over this, I can shoot down your bombs." Naruto told Gokudera as the bombs fell to the ground around him missing their fuses.

"Shut up tomato bastard!" He didn't want to attack Juudaime's right hand man but Reborn asked him to keep him busy for some reason. Gokudera knew from the start he was outmatched since from the very beginning of the fight Naruto hasn't moved a step outside of the circle he drew in the dirt with his foot.

"Double bombs!" Gokudera shouted frustrated as Naruto pulled the pistol from his left holster and pulled the trigger shooting them down with little trouble.

"For creating a disturbance and skipping classes kamikorosu." Naruto had his trench knives out in seconds blocking the first tonfa and cutting Kyoya's cheek when he slipped under the second strike.

Gokudera watched on Juudaime's subordinate's fought against each other clashing tonfa against knife in a quick series of blows and it only made him want to train harder seeing how far behind he was compared to them. Colonnello from his spot in the nearby tree saw just from the first couple of blows that the kid who might be his son was more of a speed fighter.

He winced hearing the crack of a rib when one of his opponents tonfas smashed against the red head's side. Colonnello had no proof but watching who could be his son fight gave him a small sense of pride.

"Why am I here?" Naruto asked flinching slightly as the doctor took his blood. He was curious usually after he fights the teme the nurse would just toss him the first aid kit but now Reborn was dragging him off to the hospital for some reason. Naruto kept glancing around looking for escape routes even though he knew Reborn had probably sealed them off already.

'The bastard plays dirty.' Naruto though cursing Kyoya for telling Reborn he was scared of hospitals. The buildings were just too clean, too white and they wouldn't even let him listen too his music.

"Just let me do my job kid." The doctor told him ignoring his fidgeting. Naruto glanced at the doctor taking his appearance in with the thought that he knew the man from somewhere. He had brown hair, brown eyes with some stuble around his chin and a hairstyle almost identical to Gokudera.

While Naruto was fidgeting Shamal was trying too think of a reason why he picked up his phone this yesterday. Sure getting the debt with Colonello settled was fine but not if he had to patch up a guy. Glancing back at the nervous teen rolling his sleeve back down he figured out why he was called the second he spotted him. It seemed Colonello was still hunting down leads on his wife and kid if Naruto's appearance was anything to go by.

"You can g- " Shamal couldn't finish his sentence before Naruto was out the door leaving a small dust trail behind him.

"So what did you find kora." He turned around to see both Colonello and Reborn setting near the open window.

"This isn't a manga it'll take me about two days too find out if he's your kid." Shamal told him handing them copies of the files he had on Naruto.

"So that's why your here." Reborn mused eyes taking in everything he read. "From what he told me Verde knew because he owed his mother a life debt but he didn't know why though."

Colonello remembered her telling him about the time she pulled an injured man out a car wreck only to find out later it was Verde. It was one of the few things he still made fun of Verde about, almost getting taken out by a flipped car instead of a rival family. That just proved Naruto was his and Kushina's child but he'd wait until he had solid proof instead of just approaching him and saying "Hi I'm your padre."

"So I leave you alone for one afternoon only for you too have the assassin who tried to kill you living in your house." Naruto chuckled amused at the different kinds of crazy Tsuna finds himself in when he's not around. They were setting at a table in the back of TakeSushi enjoying a small dinner after he kidnapped Tsuna while he was walking home with Takeshi and Hayato. Naruto was keeping a smile on his face not wanting too worry Tsuna but with the feeling he was being watched had him on edge wanting him nearby at all times incase something happens.

"It's not funny Naruto-k" Tsuna cut himself off from saying the last part to nervous. 'I really am still just Dame-Tsuna' He thought sharing a table with Naruto and he still couldn't say it. Glancing at Naruto he knew this was his last day Reborn gave him too confess before he did it for him but he just couldn't risk losing the connection he had with his best friend.

He was glad though after getting a ranking from Fuuta about who Naruto loved and his name was first on the list. It was hell setting in his room with everybody asking rankings on weird things and Naruto's stalker showing up asking about his love ranking but he was relived to find out Naruto returned his feelings. Yet he still couldn't confess even after finding out that's why Reborn gave him two days before he handled it himself.

"Come on you can add kun too my name I don't mind Tsu-k-u-n." A blushing Naruto teased spelling the last part out with a smile on his face. He took a sip of his drink ignoring the slight pink on his cheeks. Instead he focused on watching Tsuna's face heat up and the way he chews on his bottom lip.

"O-Okay N-Naruto-kun." Seeing Tsuna red faced and stuttering Naruto wanted to pull his little boss into his lap but held back shaking his head at the weird thoughts he was having. He was thinking of a hundred ways to tell Tsuna he loved him but each time he couldn't go through with it.

"See that wasn't so hard." Naruto cheered a flush slowly crawling up his face as he got up crossing the table too sit on Tsuna's side. Taking a chance he figure tonight would be as good as any other as long as he could keep the others away long enough. While catching Naruto up on everything he missed Tsuna didn't realize Naruto was holding his hand until he glanced down seeing there fingers interlaced together. Naruto was happier than ever when Tsuna didn't pull away only giving him a shy smile in return.

Hearing his cell phone going off he reluctantly pulled there hands apart to read the text.

{To: Re di ramen}

{You should really get out of there. Gokudera's using Fuuta to hunt you down and they're checking your favorite spots since we couldn't find you at your apartment or Tsuna's house.}

{Have fun on your date.}

{From: Baseball Star}

Grinning Naruto moved Takeshi up too people he should remember as they rushed out of the sushi bar. "So what do you want to do now Tsu-kun?" Naruto asked grabbing Tsuna's wrist as they ducked down into the back allies to avoid the others.

"I don't mind." Tsuna replied praying this moment wasn't just another dream and if it was at least let him get his kiss before he wakes up.

Up on the rooftops Reborn and Colonello were watching the pair holding hands as they made their way towards Naruto's apartment.

"Are you okay with this?" Reborn asked as they followed the pair. He could care less what his student did in his spare time but he needed to get them too at least confess before he could move his plans forward.

"If he is my son I'm not turning him away because of something that simple." Watching the pair as the entered Naruto's apartment he smiled hoping he'd be able to pass on everything he knew and judging by their faces maybe the ring hidden under his shirt.

Inside the apartment they were having awkward moment neither of them knowing what to do at the moment. Looking around Naruto saw the picture of his mother on the bookshelf and remembered the conversation about his father when he was little.

{Flashback}

"Mamma how did you and papa meet?" Little four year old Naruto asked giving the stuffed lion in his arms a squeeze as he ran into the kitchen.

"I'll tell you the how when your older piccola volpe." Seeing that pout on his face as he looked up at her Kushina laughed picking Naruto off the ground. "Fine I'll tell you when he finally confessed he loved me but nothing else."

Seeing his eager nod she continued. "We had already known each other for a while now and your father was a nervous man when he was younger."

"It was at a party hosted by the Senju family and after waiting so long I finally got tired and forced him into the dance floor with me."

"You should have seen him, your father could fight off an entire family by himself but was scared to death at the thought of dancing with me. But it was at that moment with the music playing and holding me close that he finally got the courage too confess too me." She finished her little story with a small blush on her face leaving a confused four year old looking up at his mother.

{Flashback End}

Walking into his living room Naruto opened his laptop a plan forming in his mind. If he was to chicken too confess he'd do like his old man did and let the music help him. That was the one thing he could count on and it hasn't let him down yet.

"D-Do you want to dance Tsuna?" Naruto swallowed nervously ready to play it off as something he does in his free time if Tsuna said no.

"S-Sure." He was nervous as hell taking Tsuna's hand in his while placing his left hand around his waist. A slow soft song started to play and they slowly started moving a few steps with Tsuna following his lead. Slowly they fell into the rhythm the world around them fading away leaving only the two of them. Tsuna was happy leaning into Naruto's scarred chest not picking up the shakes in his hands when he did. Naruto held him tight even with his shacking hands not wanting this moment to end.

Finally as the song came too an end Tsuna looked up staring into those ocean blue eyes filled with warmth. Swallowing his fears Tsuna stood on his toes kissing his crush while praying he wasn't making a mistake. Naruto's eyes widened slightly before they closed melting into the kiss that sent shivers down his spine. Tsuna feeling Naruto kissing him back wrapped his hands around his neck pulling him down closer as Naruto's hands found their way around his waist.

They stayed like that as long as possible before finally breaking apart for air. "Ti amo Tsuna." Naruto whispered with a smile planting another quick kiss on his lips.

"Ti voglio bene anch'io."

Author's Notes -

I'm a three out of ten at writing romance scenes so don't be too harsh if it sucks, this is only my second try at writing a romance scene. The whole idea for this chapter came from watching {Spamano_ One Step Closer on YouTube} so I was trying to think up a moment like that. Really hoped you like it and like I said any ideas that could help improve it are welcome.

That was just them getting together their not going to jump into bed after the first date. I'm only telling people this because I know a few people would think that's what they were going to do since there at Naruto's apartment. I was going to have them getting together on the next chapter but figured if I got them together on this one I could fit more around it.

I'll start adding more interactions in the following chapters but I needed this one too mainly be about the people involved.

Too those of you that think I'm making him too powerful, Naruto does have flaws. He was raised by assassins and killers so that's all he knows. It would be like canon Naruto having Pain raise him. He has trouble cooking so he goes out to eat. Interacting with people, and other things normal civilians can do he can't, so he avoids them or it until he has no other choice. That's why when they go on future dates Naruto won't have a clue what to do because nobody ever taught him.

I'll say it only once please don't leave hurtful comments because of the pairings. I've left warnings on the first chapter and it even says it in the summary so leave your opinions too yourself. If you don't like my story it's simple don't read it anymore.
