Tantrum
"No!"
Nana's eyes widened at the outburst, rushing into the living room to see what happened. Her husband turned at the sound of her frantic footstep and looked at her helplessly.
"Nana, he won't calm down." Iemitsu scratched his head, lost at what to do. Nana crept down to Tsuna's level and put her hands on the child's shoulder.
"Tsu-kun, what's wrong?" Nana asked softly. Her son looked up at her and she gasped slightly at the unshed tears. She resisted the urge to hug him tightly. Such a look didn't go well with her Tsu-kun. Instead, Tsuna reached out and grabbed onto her.
"Mamaaa" He whined, hugging her tightly while burying his face into her stomach. Warning bells set off immediately. Tsu-kun never whined. She waited patiently for him to talk, smoothing his brown locks down in a reassuring pat.
"…" She looked down, not understanding his mumbling.
"What is it Tsu-kun?" Tsuna looked up and the unshed tears poured out. Nana frantically wiped the tears away, not knowing what to do with the sobbing child in her arms. She looked around, wondering if there was anything she could stop his crying with when she looked outside. She clapped her hands together as an idea came to her, causing both Iemitsu and Tsuna to look at her.
Tsuna sniffled. He just felt upset. He didn't know why, but nothing made him happy and there was just so much irritation building inside of him that he didn't know what to do. Dad said he was 6 now, a big boy, but Tsuna didn't feel big. He felt small, not important, and irritated. His thoughts were cut short when he felt his mom take his hands and lead him outside. He didn't want to go outside!
"No!" He shouted, stomping his tiny feet as Nana tried to put his shoes on. Nana smiled understandingly and lifted him up without a word. Iemitsu followed behind her, not understanding.
"Why are you taking him outside Nana?" Nana giggled while opening the door.
"The rain's gentle today."
Tsuna didn't know why he was so frustrated, but he was. He didn't want to go outside, but okaa-san brought him outside anyways. He wanted to kick and scream, but he didn't want to hurt his mom, so he could only sulk silently as she tugged on his long, yellow shoes and put a weird looking, plastic coat on him.
Lost in his feelings of irritation, he didn't notice the rain slowly falling down on him, or his mom putting him down. The first drop he felt caused him to pout. It felt cold and weird. He looked up towards the sky, seeing the rain slowly fall down. In awe, he didn't realize his hood slipping off, exposing his locks to the weather.
Before Tsuna realized it, the rain was falling down and with it, his frustrations seemed to wash away as well. He smiled, reaching his hands up to the sky in attempt to catch the rain in his hands. When it slipped through his fingers, he felt a sense of calmness surrounding him. To the surprise of his parents, Tsuna took off his rain-jacket and ran up to them, pushing it into Nana's arms. He then scrambled over to his swingset and sat on it, looking up at the sky while he swung his legs back and forth.
Nana looked at Iemitsu, giggling.
"It seems like he calmed down."
Tsuna didn't understand when or why, but before he knew it, that feeling that made him want to stomp his feet and scream faded away. The rain continued falling silently, gently. He didn't know why, but Tsuna felt like if he turned to his left, someone should've been there with a wide, gentle smile saying: "Yo, Tsuna!"
Note: So, I really didn't like how this chapter turned out. I was trying to find a way to have Tsuna throw a tantrum, but then I realized that it was just so hard for me to actually picture him throwing a tantrum just for no reason… -_-' It was also hard for me to find a way to end this. Haha, but please review and tell me how I did ^^
Also, for the people who are asking why I'm writing such short chapters, or wish that the chapters are longer, I have to say I'm sorry. I'll try writing longer drabbles (I don't think they'll be quite as long as this one) but drabbles are usually that… drabbles. As in, 250 or so-ish words. The reason I'm writing this in drabble format is because I had a writer's block because I kept feeling frustrated with trying to write long chapters. So, this is my way of easing back into the writing world… one drabble at a time (:
So, sorry but I hope you guys keep reading this! In return, I'll try updating faster. But more reviews = more motivation (;
