Discomfort

While the boys left for the locker rooms...

'How come you guys left same time I did?' Ryohei blinked owlishly.

'Er, I got a cramp senpai.' said Yamamoto lamely. 'I just wanted to wait it out in my room.' He did NOT want to tell them the truth that looking at his boss made his thing go stiff, and he didn't know why...it was weird! The more he thinks of Tsuna in the baths in just his towel the more uncomfortable it is!

'I just want to sleep! Gokudera griped while trying hard not to blush at his boss' natural...beauty His slender body and limbs, his creamy blemish-less, smooth skin. 'What about you turf-head?!'

'Well I forgot something to the extreme!' Ryohei reasoned while also trying hard not to go pink. He really blamed Mai for her remark about his boss earlier and now seeing his younger self looking so...EATABLE...his mind produced images of him doing unmentionables he just had to run after a good shower lest he feels he may do something he may regret.

He really, REALLY blamed Mai for this. Seriously.

But his night is not a peaceful one...

His dreams were haunted by extremely disturbing dreams of his boss and no cold showers helped him this time.

Yamamoto's room...

"Tsuna...when did he change so drastically?" Yamamoto wondered. It was like after meeting Mai, he did a 180. His looks, his er...smarts...everything. Although he would usually come to school whimpering and wincing in pain because of Reborn's training. But he didn't understand it. His pops was just as crazy but maybe swordsman crazy is different from mafia crazy? If any it made Tsuna appreciate peace more and more that he always took the peaceful way out with little reluctant pragmatism to get it done. KOs yes. Beatings and blown up by Gokudera NO. Pain-less with emphasis.

He once asked what they were doing and he wasn't sure if he'd believe him...that's until he saw the fight against Xanxus.

And to think he used to be clumsy, no-good Tsuna.

But when he asked how he changed so much...

'You know, I'm always all alone...I never had any friends.' Tsuna told him. 'To everyone, I'm no-good Tsuna who's not worth anything...my life only changed when Reborn came and crazy stuff happened...then I met you guys.' he said. 'I wouldn't trade crazy for the world as long as everyone's here and I'm not alone anymore...and I have what I need to protect it. Being lonely and rejected by everyone outside your house for many years really hurts.'

Yamamoto understood him.

What Tsuna didn't know is that he knew how miserable he is for months since middle school started. He was observant under his facade, and he knew how fickle peers can be. Approaching Tsuna wasn't easy lest you damn yourself too so it pained him to watch from afar getting picked on by practically everybody. Yet he didn't do anything when no one was around...and he wondered why Tsuna saved him from his suicide when he never saved him from bullies not even once.

Apparently Tsuna is the only one willing to risk life and limb while his friends watched from afar.

He soon saw what was truly important.

A friend who would act than a friend who does nothing in your trouble hours.

So he stuck around...and by hanging around with Tsuna and Gokudera, his world felt complete and everyday was heaven. Then he heard how Mai spoke of the Flames Family a year later. So they harmonized with each other without knowing it? That they couldn't be without anyone in their family?

He somehow liked that.

It means he won't be alone anymore either.

But now...what's with these weird thoughts in his head?

Just because he took a bath with his family but what's with these weird thoughts in his head that made him want more than a boss-guardian, brotherly relationship? He didn't feel this way when he saw Gokudera and Ryohei naked! Just...

...what the hell?

His mind showed him Tsuna's graceful, slender legs, round, firm rear, a small waist...and creamy fair skin...nevermind that he's toned from training.

When those images went through his head, he felt his junior stiffen again...

Not again...

But...

Tsuna's head switched with someone else too...but he was lost in his own misery that he did not recognize whose head replaced Tsuna's.

Ryohei really has extreme issues.

HE COULD NOT RELAX TO THE EXTREME!

He went back to the bathroom to see that Tsuna is still there, relaxing in the furo with his partners who were splashing around and his boss is just watching them fondly.

He stole Tsuna's pajama bottoms as his mind went dark while heading for his room...to do extremely naughty things while looking at it.

"Sawada...I'm so sorry but my extremely filthy mind made me do this!" Ryohei apologized as he jacked off to images in his head. Tsuna's deliciously delectable body...and images of him taking his boss for himself and make him scream for him in extreme want and need, hearing 'Oniisan...' in gasps of pleasure that he gave. "Dammit to the extreme! I need to calm down because we have an early start tomorrow!" he swore furiously while blushing.

He rubbed himself to these images and looking at Tsuna's pajama bottoms...until finally, he calmed down.

Then he needed another cold shower and imagine something disturbing.

Oh yeah, that new horror movie that just came out...

But his dreams...

Were of him making out with a very submissive boss.

By the time the girls were done bathing, Mai felt something jolt in her.

'Mai-san?' Chrome blinked. 'What is it?'

'...my BL senses are tingling...' Mai muttered, complete with the salute-search pose and actually looking around.

The illusionist sweatdropped.

She really did NOT want to know...for her sanity's sake, thank you very much, knowing of her trainer's...interesting choice of interests. One of them at least...

Ken once wanted to watch one of Mai's tapes...and they mistakenly played anime GAY porn...

Ken shrieked so loudly in horror, Chikusa looked like he suffered extreme Cardiac Arrest and Chrome...she was utterly petrified from shock and her mind went blank that she has no memory of what happened next.

Mukuro, sensing what got his vessel in utter shock went to see gay porn playing and both Ken and Chikusa 'suffering' on the floor.

'...can you explain what's the meaning of this?' he asked, pointing at the interesting flick. He's bi after all and apparently they weren't.

'W-we wanted to watch anime but we didn't know what's good so we picked randomly...' Chikusa stammered out feebly, still paralyzed from the show.

'We regret it! Waaaaah!' Ken wailed in a shrieky voice in utter horror while rubbing his eyes. 'My eyes! My eyes! And my ears!'

Needless to say Mukuro turned the DVD off.

'...next time, you guys do research.' he chided. 'Chrome is still innocent and I think the video broke her.'

Needless to say Chikusa and Ken indeed, did research on the titles of the contents in Mai's video shelf for the sake of their sanities. They just...can't picture men doing it. Man and woman, yes but both men...? How the hell did the media make it possible?! And its weird in a freaky-way that also damages one's ego as a man!

Gokudera knew he'll SUFFER when Tsuna returned to their shared room, fresh from the bath.

Sure he's only seen his face and hands, but upon seeing everything else, he could think of nothing by Tsuna's legs, ass and waist. He's even smooth and hairless unlike them. He has no bodily manly hair at all!

He's beautiful.

His heart is beautiful and now his body too.

Ba-dump.

BA-DUMP.

Erotic images and poses lined his mental faculties... "N-NO!" he cried, hitting his forehead on the wall. "S-such sinful...I cannot think of Juudaime this way! Me, the most loyal and his right-hand man?! HAH?!" he mentally freaked out in a high-pitched voice in a johnny bravo pose of despair.

'Gokudera-kun?' he gulped air so fast it was damn painful in the chest to see Tsuna in. 'What's wrong?'

'Oh! Uh I hit my head on the wall when I rolled wrong!' Gokudera quickly fibbed.

'Are you OK?' Tsuna asked worriedly as he sat with his guardian, nursing a bump that wasn't there though...and what Gokudera noticed, is his bare legs.

'N-nevermind that, how come you're half-dressed?!'

'Someone took my pajama half!' Tsuna pouted. 'Its probably Lambo who dunnit but I can't afford to stress myself since we have an early start tomorrow...I'll just worry about it when we get home!' he grumbled in a huff. Its cold too darn it... 'For now, just lie down and I'll take care of your head until it no longer hurts, OK? Kaasan always said that if we bump our heads, we rub them gently in a massage.' he said kindly and Gokudera's face lit up on fire but purred like a cat from being massaged in the head.

"Juudaime..." he purred. Gokudera felt he could die a happy man tomorrow because he would die knowing he was cared for by a man he devoted himself to as a subordinate. 'Juudaime, about tomorrow...'

'I know...I'm nervous too, to be honest...but we have to live no matter what.' said Tsuna somberly. 'I don't know what will happen to our world if we die here. Our families back home...what would happen to them if we die in this world? Would we...cease to exist?' he wondered apprehensively as Gokudera stiffened.

What would happen indeed.

'That's why...let's all do our best tomorrow. We live for everyone back home, who cares what happens in this job...as long as we live, its OK. You, me, Yamamoto, Mai and Chrome too. All of us must go home...together. To everybody...no matter what.' said Tsuna, forcing a smile.

Gokudera blinked before smiling.

'Hai!'

They'll definitely survive tomorrow!

Namimori, 4:00 am...

Hibari went and massacred a large number of Millefiore Black and White Spell troops, after luring them into a place using the transmitter Glo Xinia planted in Chrome's bag...

xxx

That same morning, Namimori Base...4:00 am...their beds vibrated so strongly it startled them all awake!

TsunaxGokudera Room...

'Hiiiiieeeeee!'

'Uwaaaaaaa!' both boys yelped, startled from the shaking.

Yamamoto's Room...

'Eep!' Yamamoto gasped out, wide-eyed when his bed suddenly shook.

Chrome and Mai's Room...

'Kyaaaaa!'

/You guys got 15 minutes to get ready. After that, we're leaving!/ Lal's voice rang through the intercom.

And so...the fifteen minutes was to reheat the breakfast Haru and Kyoko made last night just for this, and eating breakfast.

'Man, what a nasty way to wake us up.' Gokudera shuddered as at the kitchens, all of them drank coffee and ate breakfast quickly. Breakfast meals were typical breakfast things. Chrome's breakfast was chicken congee with chopped scallions and diced onions, and a pile of eggs. With ketchup.

'No kidding, that was freaky!' Tsuna shivered.

'But efficient and doesn't disturb neighbors but its still freaky.' Mai twitched.

'You kids just eat quickly because after this, bathroom break and we're outta here!' said Ryohei as the kids quickly got rushing.

Yes, Ryohei distracted himself with food...

A:N- Challenge Fic: to those interested, PM me. I want to see a story like this sometime but I can't find any...

What if Hibari and Fem!Tsuna's relationship was similar to that of Mukuro and Chrome? Only, its not a car accident and becoming a
vessel?

Hibari saved Tsuna from a life of bullying and loneliness and in turn, she devoted herself to the person who saved her, and thought
of nothing but his interests. She worked hard to understand him from afar, and moved according to his wishes. A perfect secretary
and a subordinate trained to have hidden claws and fangs under her submissively obedient, loyal personality and a perfectly masked
face that hid her emotions. Now what would Reborn do to make someone like this into a Mafia Boss?

Timeline:

Tsuna age nine, Hibari age eleven- they meet. Hibari sees her pain, hopelessness and utter resignation and he decided he can't have
a casualty in his town and he would not let her remain a victim forever and never see the pair of eyes she wore when he saved her.
He personally trained her mind and abilities but for someone who is hopelessly clumsy, she's a good fighter when raised. And his single
complement earned him her loyalty and devotion when a year passed by.

Tsuna trained hard to be capable of standing by his side in return for him standing by her. He 'gave her life' that she felt that someday,
she will give it back for his sake. She's an incredible coffee and tea-maker, a cook and baker, mastered office organizational skills and even
sewing. However, she is is no longer hopeless in school but 'barely-passing'. But she didn't care. Hibari is her world and that's all that mattered
but a lot of people won't let her have this single wish. Not even Hibari himself when he feels she must leave the nest for her to grow more...
