Chapter Seven
"Why are we on the roof Giotto-San?" Tsuna turned wide doe eyes up to the blond Sky who smiled down at his little lookalike.
"You don't have to be so formal with me Tsuna we're family now after all." Giotto said cheerfully remembering the paper's he and the others had signed, adopting the children completely.
"Un!" Tsuna agreed after a moment before giving the Vongola Don a bright smile and Giotto felt his heart melt a little more.
"We are up here because I am going to teach you to fly!" Giotto couldn't contain his own excitement at the prospect of teaching Tsuna to fly properly.
"Fly?" Tsuna played dumb, tilting his heads to the side.
"I'm going to help you harness your Sky flames and from there you will be able to fly." Giotto explained.
"Okay!" Tsuna said cheerfully after a moment of thought. He wasn't sure how this would turn out but he just knew that Giotto wouldn't let him fall.
"Okay I need to you to close your eyes, focus on that warmth that you know is inside of you." Giotto's voice was calming as it flowed over Tsuna like a comforting blanket as his eyes fluttered shut. He easily accessed his flames, wincing a bit at how they were pushing at the seams of his smaller body, he silently tried to calm them and it seemed to work and they settled down so they weren't trying to break free.
"Good, now focus them into the palm of your hands. Create a steady stream, focus and trust yourself and your flames." Giotto instructed. Tsuna took a deep breath before he let his flames fly out of his hands in a steady stream like Giotto said.
"Yes, just like that Tsuna. Now keep your focus and lift yourself up." Giotto's voice sounded higher up. Tsuna increased his flames and felt his feet leave the rooftop; he let himself waver a bit before straightening out.
"Good job Tsuna!" Giotto sounded overjoyed; Tsuna opened his eyes to see he was floating next to Giotto, both of them having their Dying Will Flames burning on their foreheads.
"Watch this!" Tsuna grinned and propelled himself up into the sky and did a small twirl. He grinned at the sound of Giotto's laughter; he looked down to see Giotto shoot up right past him, showing off a complicated maneuver. Tsuna grinned and he flew up towards where Giotto was hovering, his flames flickered as his flames waned a bit not used to Tsuna's smaller body. Giotto was right there, wrapping an arm around Tsuna's small waist and Tsuna let out a puff of relief.
"Thanks Papa!" Tsuna said, the words flowing out naturally. He blushed embarrassed at the slip up, but it faded when he saw Giotto's face light up and a soft, kind fatherly smile appear on his face before Giotto buried his face into Tsuna's soft brown hair. Tsuna felt his chest contrast in a confusing way, he hadn't felt like this when he was around Iemitsu, the only other time he had felt like this was… When he was around Reborn.

G took a long drag on his cigarette as he eyed his silver haired lookalike who was hanging onto the railing of the balcony; head craned backwards his green eyes focusing on the small forms of Giotto and Tsuna high in the sky.
"How the hell am I suppose to connect with this brat?" G muttered to himself as he placed the end of his cigarette between his lips.
"Don't worry, Giotto won't let your friend fall." G spoke up louder in an effort to strike up a conversation with Hayato.
"Tch, Juudaime doesn't need help." Hayato brushed off G's words, eyes never leaving the form of Tsuna who was now being hugged by Giotto both looking happy for some reason.
"All the same." G sighed as he moved to lean onto the railing next to Hayato who just eyed him warily but didn't move away so G counted this as a win. Flashes of light caught G's eyes and he looked down into the garden.
Asari was watching amused as Takeshi darted around his legs, a bamboo sword in both their clutches. Asari had a soft smile on his face while Takeshi was laughing as he ducked and dodged Asari's attempts to grab him or tap him with his own sword.
"Baseball idiot." Hayato huffed, glancing down at the source of the familiar laughter.
"He's good, I haven't seen Asari on the run like this." G commented.
"Still an idiot." Hayato turned his attention back to the two Skies who were now dancing around each other, Giotto shouting words of encouragement to Tsuna.
"Mm." G hummed trying to figure out Hayato and Takeshi's relationship, it seemed far too much like his and Asari's, it was odd.
"Hayato!" Takeshi seemed to notice G watching them so he stopped and tugged at Asari's leg, towing him over towards the balcony.
"Tch." Hayato turned his eyes back towards where the two Rains were approaching them. Asari reached down and deposited the giggling form of Takeshi onto his shoulders. Takeshi waved at Hayato excitedly; the Storm dropped off the railing and stalked away.
"Sorry about Hayato, he's kind of grumpy today." Takeshi rubbed his neck when the two stopped by the balcony so they could talk with G easier.
"Not your fault, it's been awkward since I got out here." G waved it off.
"You can't connect with him?" Asari asked interested and G took a long drag as an answer.
"…Hayato likes music a lot, maybe you can connect with him that way?" Takeshi said after a moment of thought.
"That's not actually a bad idea, thanks kid." G nodded his head as he stubbed his cigarette out before hurrying into the mansion.
"Do you want to keep sparring Takeshi?" Asari asked as he felt the child play with the strands of his hair.
"Mmmm, I saw some flutes before…Do you play?" Takeshi asked curiously.
"Yes I do little one, do you wish for me to play for you?" Asari asked hopefully.
"Yes please Tou-San!" Takeshi chirped happily and Asari's eyes widened.
"Of course little one." Asari said smoothly not showing how he was affected by those words.
"Yay!" Takeshi cheered as Asari headed back towards the garden.
Takeshi pursed his lips together as he mentally whacked himself for slipping up and calling Asari 'Tou-San'. He hadn't even called his father that in many, many years; it was always Oyaji because that felt right with his dad but Tou-San felt right when aimed at Asari.
G made sure to leave the double doors wide open as he settled down at a white piano in the music room that was near his rooms. He took a calming breath as he placed his fingers on the ivory keys before closing his eyes and letting the music flow. G fell deeper into the sound and feeling of the music he was creating, he did hear the sound of small feet entering the room almost silently, he kept on playing not looking up even when Hayato settled down on the piano bench next to him and sniffed a bit.
"You okay brat?" G asked once the melody faded away as he finished the song.
"I'm fine old man… My mom used to play that song for me is all." Hayato was wiping at his eyes hurriedly now not wanting G to see him cry, damn his emotions were all over the place.
"You remember her?" G asked surprised.
"A bit yeah, before everything happened…" Hayato backtracked, tracing a key in front of him.
"Did you want to play?" G tapped two of the keys.
"Can I?" Hayato looked up and G almost broke at the glassy look in those emerald eyes, when did he go soft?
"Of course you can." G said gruffly. Hayato gave him a toothy smile before he started to play, remembering the melody as he went and G found himself loosing himself in the melody just like he did when he was playing. This kid was good and he found himself cursing the bastards that turned him into a weapon instead of a musician or anything he wanted to be.

"I'm not sure about this Ryohei." Knuckle said clutching a pair of his old boxing gloves tightly as he watched the small white haired child throw a few practice jabs in the boxing ring that had been set up so long ago.
"It'll be extremely fun Knuckle-Oji-San!" Ryohei encouraged the Primo Sun Guardian.
"I'm sorry child, but I do not box… Not anymore." Knuckle said placing the gloves down, Ryohei frowned knowing the reason but that wasn't going to stop him and he wasn't about to let Knuckle hold onto that guilt forever.
"The past is the past, all you can do is move forward and respect the past." Ryohei said nodding sagely, missing the shocked look Knuckle was giving him.
"…Those are wise words Ryohei." Knuckle said slowly, tracing the lacing of his boxing gloves.
"Thanks Knuckle-Oji-San, now if you don't wanna extremely box with me I'll practice by myself." Ryohei said turning back to the ring to practice his jabs and ducks.
"…Move your left foot forward a bit more and lower your right shoulder." Knuckle coached as he stepped into the ring, slowly pulling on his own boxing gloves and melted a bit when he saw Ryohei's face light up like the sun.
"Like this?" Ryohei adjusted his stance and Knuckle nodded watching Ryohei throw a punch.
"Yes like that." Knuckle patted Ryohei's head gently before taking his own stance, holding his arms up for Ryohei to punch against.
Baby steps.

Lampo rubbed his temple looking down at Lambo who was in a new cow print pajamas, as the brat seemed to be partial to that pattern. Lambo had huge tears steaming down his cubby cheeks from his bright green eyes as he looked around the room obviously searching for someone or something and burst into new tears when he didn't see them/it.
"Please stop crying." Lampo pleaded, shaking plush toys in front of the three year old in an effort to get the tears to stop.
"N-o-o!" Lambo cried, wiping at his nose with his forearm sniffing loudly.
"What do you want from me?" Lampo cried, he was not used to being around children even if it was a sibling of his own. He was an only child until he signed those papers, but he couldn't say no to Giotto and he had assumed since the child had been asleep before he would be easy to handle… How wrong was he?
"Tsuna-Nii! I-Pin! Futa! Grape!" Lambo hiccupped and Lampo couldn't make out many of the words and other than Tsuna they made no sense to him.
"Tsuna is with Giotto right now." Lampo said gently as he could but mentally freaked out when a fresh set of tears welled up in Lambo's giant eyes.
"Little animal." Kyoya's voice rang out from the doorway, Lambo sniffed again as he looked over at the small Cloud.
"Kyoya-Nii!" Lambo scurried up to his feet and tumbled over to the black haired child who was pulling something from his adorably small suit jacket pocket. Lambo let out a happy cry at the sight of purple wrapping. Kyoya patted Lambo's afro as the Lightning Guardian started to gnaw on the grape candy that the Cloud had sweet talked the cooks into making.
"He likes candy?" Lampo crept closer, willing to try anything to get Lambo to like him and stop crying.
"Grape flavored, he also likes stories with voices." Kyoya glanced up at the green haired man.
"Thanks kid." Lampo filed those away for future use. Kyoya grunted, patting Lambo's hair once more before he turned on his heel and glided out of the room looking so much like Alaude Lampo got shivers.
"Brat, I have a story book my Maman used to read with me when I was a kid…Do you want to hear it?" Lampo asked cautiously as Lambo turned his attention away from his candy to look up at him.
"Yes please Lampo-Nii!" Lambo said cheerfully and Lampo almost collapsed in relief. The day wasn't even done yet and he was already exhausted, how did parents do this?

"Keep your focus Chrome." Daemon instructed, his scythe leaning against his shoulder watching his newly adopted daughter and son's Mist flames swirl around their small bodies. Chrome nodded, tightening her grip on her trident as the field became full of people who were milling around.
"Kufufufu." Mukuro flicked his trident and the ground cracked open, lotus flowers erupting from it. The vines twisted around the legs of the people Chrome created, they started to scream and kick as some were pulled up into the air.
"Don't tease your sister Mukuro." Daemon sounded amused, noticing the wary look Mukuro was still casting his way and the way Chrome kept close to her brother whenever they were around him. Daemon sighed silently, it was a work in progress at least they agreed to letting him train them today.
Chrome slammed the end of her trident in front of her and grinned at Mukuro as her people suddenly turned into Viking warriors and they started to chop at the vines giving battle cries as they destroyed the lotus flowers.
"Dead Nagi, this is war." Mukuro purred, pride in his voice even as pillars of flames appeared. Chrome just smiled back innocently and bursts of water countered Mukuro's fire, one geyser heading towards Mukuro who rolled out of the way, instead it hit Daemon full on.
The two Mist's stopped everything as they turned to look at the dripping wet Daemon, Mukuro trying not to laugh too much while Chrome looked terrified.
"…Well done Chrome, just work on your control." Daemon said calmly, wiping his eyes and Chrome relaxed a few moments later.
"Okay." She nodded and Mukuro took her hand in an adorable display of sibling love.
"Daemon dear why are you so wet?" A female's voice called out, a beautiful blonde approached the group with a picnic basket balancing on her hip.
"Elena!" Daemon let his scythe disappear and he gathered Elena into his arms, kissing her happily.
"Holy shit." Mukuro muttered, as they took in the sight of the woman whose death caused Daemon to go bat-shit insane.
"That's Elena-San? She's beautiful." Chrome whispered, tightening her hold on Mukuro's hand.
"Kufufu, come Nagi let us go meet our 'mother'." Mukuro tugged Chrome over to the couple, adopting an innocent look.
"Father is this our new mother?" Mukuro tugged on Daemon's ridiculous pant leg, looking up at Elena with wide eyes. Chrome held her giggle behind her free hand at Mukuro's acting skills.
"You two are the cutest thing's I have ever seen. Can you set up the blanket and the food while I have a small talk with your ahem father." Elena smiled brightly, bending over to be eye level with the two purple haired kids. Chrome shyly took the blanket in her small arms while Mukuro heaved the basket into his arms and followed Chrome away from Daemon and Elena with a large smirk as he heard Daemon give a cry of pain.
"You're horrible Mukuro-Nii." Chrome giggled as she spread the blanket out.
"He deserves it." Mukuro huffed as he started to pull out the plates of food.
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier children, my name is Elena and I'm your new mother." Elena settled down onto the blanket next to Chrome who was looking up at her shyly.
"I'm Chrome and that is Mukuro-Nii." Chrome said quietly offering the blonde a bowl of strawberries which Elena gracefully accepted making Chrome smile.
"I like your hair style much more than your father's." Elena patted Mukuro's head gently; not messing up the pineapple style and Mukuro couldn't help but beam up at her. Before he turned to give Daemon a smug look making the noble grumble as he popped a grape in his mouth, chewing on it moodily. Not even 5 minutes later Chrome and Mukuro were enamored with Elena, now understanding why Daemon went insane in the future, she was amazing and clearly his rock.
Daemon looked ridiculously pleased with the way Chrome and Mukuro were warming up to not only Elena but him as well, even if the wariness was still there under the surface but from what he heard about their past he couldn't blame them. Elena was braiding white flowers into Chrome's long hair making the little girl giggle while Mukuro was willingly making cute illusions appear around the two females a small smile on his face at the obvious happiness that emitted from the two. Daemon settled down to watch his new family interact and found himself determined to protect this with everything he had.
"Pineapple Herbivore." Kyoya spoke up and Mukuro turned to look at the Cloud, his happy illusions disappearing and his trident appeared.
"Skylark-Kun." Mukuro rose up to walk towards Kyoya who was pulling out small metal tonfa's.
"A fight, it has been a while. Shall I conjure some Sakura trees?" Mukuro taunted laughing when he saw Kyoya's eyebrow twitch.
"Not by the food kids." Elena called out absently, not worried at all by the bloodlust rising up off the two while Daemon was torn from cheering his kid on so Alaude's would be beaten and being a responsible adult and stopping them before they got hurt. He decided it was better to stay out of the way as the two launched them selves at each other.
"Daemon Spade." Alaude's voice came from next to Daemon who tilted his head backwards to look up at the blond Cloud who was watching the fight between the kids with interest.
"Come to watch which one of our boys will win in a fight?" Daemon mockingly patted the spot next to him only for Alaude's glare to intensify.
"…You lost him didn't you?" Daemon realized with a small laugh.
"I will arrest you." Alaude said monotone voice as he tracked Kyoya's movements in the fight; something was off in the movements with both of them.
"Kyoya, come. We will spar now." Alaude spoke up and watched slightly amused as Kyoya flipped over Mukuro's head and trotted over to him with a pleased look on his face.
"…You planed this… Well done." Alaude placed his hand on Kyoya's head not ignoring the silent preen Kyoya gave and a smile appeared on his lips as the two Clouds left for the training area.

"So how was everyone's day?" Tsuna asked from his place in the middle of the giant bed that was placed in the room Giotto had given him to sleep in.
"I like Elena-San." Chrome spoke up, touching her braid gently from her place curled up by Kyoya who was already dozing.
"…I can see why Daemon went insane when she died." Mukuro muttered from where Lambo was passed out on his chest, hand resting protectively on his back.
"G isn't all bad I guess." Hayato admitted as Takeshi stroked his hair gently, their Storm was curled up next to Tsuna and Takeshi was spooning him from behind. They all were touching in some way; Tsuna had his arm wrapped around Chrome who was nuzzling against Kyoya's chest. Mukuro had his side pressed up against all their small feet from where he was stretched across the foot of the bed while Ryohei was already passed out against Kyoya's back.
"Asari is pretty amazing, he reminds me of my Oyaji." Takeshi said with a yawn and a fond look in his eyes.
"What do you think about Giotto, meeting him face to face and everything?" Hayato peered at Tsuna whose eyes were closed but he hummed showing he was still awake.
"He's just as comforting and amazing as the version of him I've meet before… I can sense his flames better and I can tell that he is unsure about Vongola being a mafia Famiglia and what that means, he just wanted Vongola to help people…I think by adopting us they are starting to see that they have lost their original objective." Tsuna sounded more like his older self than before.
"Well if we can get them back on track that's good I guess." Takeshi yawned, before he smacked his lips together before he dozed off face resting in Hayato's hair.
"I'll keep watch, go to sleep Tsunayoshi-Kun." Mukuro said calmly and he heard a hum of thanks from Tsuna before the room fell silent only broken by the soft breathing of the children. Mukuro closed his eyes but kept his senses open and Mist flames waft around the room in case of threats. He tensed up slightly when he felt his flames being disturbed as the door opened slightly, but he relaxed feeling the flame signatures of the Primo Generation. He didn't move a muscle even when he heard hushed words and what sounded like someone cooing over them. Mukuro had to fight back every instinct he had when a soft hand pushed back some of his hair from his forehead.
"They are wonderful, all of them… Will you protect them? All of you?" Elena's voice was clearer now.
"Of course." Giotto said with determination that Mukuro had heard in Tsuna before, it must be a Vongola thing.
"Need you even ask my dear?" Daemon sounded amused.
"Good, if anything happens to our babies I'll kick all your ass's." Elena huffed and Mukuro mentally laughed at how well Elena had the whole Primo Generation trained, perhaps Chrome was related to Elena somehow as she had managed the same thing.
