Once Again

by AmaHoshi

Even death couldn't keep them apart. They were Vongala's Tenth Generation. They are family. Reincarnation drabble fic with focus on 10th gen. The drabbles are loosely connected, and eventually will move towards a certain point. But mostly, they're drabbles. Pairings come later, way later. 1827, 8059 Crossposted on AO3

2. Dad

Dad

The very first time Tsuna gurgled out "Ma", Nana clapped with excitement and enthusiastically urged her son to repeat it again. Next to her, Iemitsu pouted slightly, sulking over the fact that Tsu-kun wouldn't call Papa first, like many infants do. Nana chuckled lightly at her husband's predicament, patting him on his head.

"Don't worry dear, he'll be saying Daddy in no time."

But Tsuna never did call him "daddy". No, Tsuna's next few gargles always strangely resembled "Ha", "Ya", "Hi", and other strange mono-syllables, but never "Da" or "Pa". It wasn't until Tsuna was over a year old that he finally looked at Iemitsu straight in the eye and whispered "Dad".

Iemitsu didn't find it strange that his usually cheerful, bright son whispered his name in such a serious fashion. No, he was simply caught up in the joy that his little Tsu-kun finally recognized his daddy. After all, Tsu-kun had plenty of time to learn how to say "daddy" or "papa". "Dad" was just easier to say.

Note:

Thanks for the lovely reviews! It made my day, so here is another chapter for you guys! I know it feels like it's Nana, Iemitsu-centric right now, but it's really not how the story will be. I just want to advance slowly through Tsuna growing up (again) so Nana and Iemitsu will probably show up more in the beginning chapters. Well, please review!
