"Henkospeak to Tsuna"
Cielo POV
I blinked for few times before I opened my eyes. I glanced at the clock, it's 3 a.m.
I feel much better now. and I think that's the cue for me to leave. Misuki-sama told me that I could walk today so I should be fine.
And so I started to get off the bed and started some few small steps. Once I've regain my balance fully I cleaned the room then went out to down stairs.
'at this hour, everyone must be still asleep, including Henko-san...' I thought deep to myself.
once I reached the first floor I uncounciously hit the kitchen. my eyes wander for food stocks. I have a feeling that I should make some breakfast like it has been writen as my daily rutine. and so I decided to trust my intuition and started to cook while wondering on why this activity feels so familiar.
I found some ingredients to make Curry, and so that is what I'm going to make.
I just guessed on how much I've to put things to the pot, concidering that my taste buds has broken since as far as I remember.
I hummed a song... a random one but magically makes me crying everytime I sing for it. This song, It always gets me a picture of a happy family playing in a beautiful green field. It feels nostalgia...
Summer in the hills
Those hazy days I do remember
We were running still
Had the whole world at our feet
Watching seasons change
Our roads were lined with adventure
Mountains in the way
Couldn't keep us from the sea
Here we stand open arms
This is home where we are
Ever strong in the world that we made
I still hear you in the breeze
See your shadows in the trees
Holding on, memories never change
and again I cried when I sing it...
just then someone spoke. "wow, I never know that you can sing that well"
I turned to see who is it. It's Mizuki-sama, "Good morning, Mizuki-sama!" I greeted while bowing. He raised his hands telling me to stop. "Yeah, Good morning to you too Cielo..." He replied.
"I see that you're cooking too. Let me guess, chicken curry?" He asked as he tasted the curry. He raised a brow as he had a shocked face. I was going to appologize if the taste are bad, but instead I blushed for the words that coming next. "Wow... This is actually great. Although it tasted different than any curry that I ever tasted this one is much more than just edible." He said.
"T-Thank you Mizuki-sama!" I bowed again, this time I did it so I could hide my red face too. but then I remember on something, "b-but Mizuki-sama... I-I... I used the kitchen without your or Sora-sama's permission! I deeply Sorry!" I said timidly, still in bowing position.
Just then I feel a pat on my head, "It's okay, Cielo. you have my permission." Mizuki-sama smiled at me. again I blushed, this time because of my embarassement.
"I'm so sorry, Mizuki-sama... I wouldn't do it again..." I said lowly.
"doing what?" a sleepy voice asked.
the both of us turned our head to face Sora-sama who's rubbing her eyes. "Oh! good morning, Sora! I thought you wouldn't be awake for some more times." Mizuki-nii greeted.
Sora-sama yawned before she answered, "well, I smell something nice and I'm hungry... so, what's for breakfast?" She asked.
While pointing at me, Mizuki-sama said, "we'll have Cielo's special curry this morning."
Sora-sama raised a brow as she stared at me, "You can cook Cielo?"
I shyly nodded, "apparently, yes... although I don't remember that I could. I just did, experimently... oh, and good morning to you, Sora-sama!"
"yeah..." She smiled at me. I was going to said something more, but my tummy is rumbling... and loudly too.
they both stared at my red face. "I-I'm sorry!" I squeaked. but they just laughed.
"Geez... you're so funny" Mizuki-sama wiped the tears from the laughs.
"what are you appologizing for Cielo?" Sora-sama asked, still laughing. "it's normal for anyone to feel hungry. so there's no need to appologize"
"yeah... we just need to sit in the dining room and started to eat. the curry is done right?" Mizuki-sama asked.
"almost..." I replied. "you guys can wait in the dining room. let me serve it for you..." I said as I smiled brightly. I failed to notice the faint blush on their cheeks.
"w-well then... we'll wait for you there..." Mizuki-sama replied in shutter as he dragged Sora-sama with him. I then hear some whispers but I tried not to listen since that would be impolite.
I then continue with my cook. 15 minutes later it finished.
I then served it to them. "Thank you, Cielo..." Sora-sama said.
"You're welcome..." I smiled back.
after that I went back to the kitchen to clean the untesils.
once I done I sat on the chair and chatted with Henko-san as he already awaken.
"Eh? you've done eating, Cielo?" Sora- sama asked as she put her plate to the sink.
I blinked at the question, "ah, I haven't eaten yet Sora-sama. but thanks for asking..."
Now she's the one that confused, "why haven't you? There's still rice and curry left. so why don't you?"
I scratched my ear for I don't know how to answer that.
"That's because you always did it in the past..."
"That's because i always did it in the past..." I uncounciously coppied Henko-san's saying.
"eh?" Both I and Sora-sama had a surprised expression.
"what did you say?" She asked.
"ah, nothing to worried about, Sora-sama! I'm going to eat now!" I said hurriedly to cover my saying. I then stood up and scoop the cury awkwardly.
after that I eat on the chair where I sat before while asking Henko-san on what did he means my that. This is his reply...
"well, it's a clear as what I said. You always did that. In the past your godmother doesn't care about you, nor her children, the one that you claimed as your siblings. You cooked for them but you also have to cook for your self with ingretients that you bought with your own money..." He explained.
"Really? so... no one cares about me?" I asked flatly although I feel pity to myself. I never know what kind of past did I've went through and this doesn't seems to be a pretty start.
"well you have..." I sighed in relief. "you founded a family that loved you, all by your self. but something happened and-" He suddenly stopped, making me curious.
"and what?" I asked impatiently.
"sorry kid. You've forbiden me to tell you about this." He said and I huffed. 'again?! just what happened in my past that I have to forgot it all?' I questioned, feeling angry to myself.
I took a deep breath to let my anger go, "fine then... let's talked about anything else then..."
and so we talked about other things...

Normal POV
After breakfast, Cielo decided to go continuing his aimless journey. However Sora had stopped him.
"S-Sora-sama?" Cielo called in worry as the blonde girl just stared at him with a sad face.
"Please stay..." She said lowly, Shocking both Cielo and Mizuki, although Mizuki choose to be listener this time.
"w-what do you mean, Sora-sama? of course I couldn't-"
"Why? you don't have any family right? you have no home and you have no memories of your past. you have nothing on you. what if you fall sick again? what if in other time you'll be dead instead? you always have nightmares at night, you eve cried on your sleep. So please stay, Cielo... we'll take care of you... nothing bad will ever happened to you again..." Sora said, tears can be seen falling from her cheek.
unknown to him, Sora always sneaked into Cielo's room everynight. She listens for his cry. although he would not remember a thing once he woke up, Cielo always cried in his sleep as he's having the same nightmare that hounted Tsuna everynights. about death of his families...
Mizuki knows about his sisters doing but he pretend that he didn't see a thing. Deep inside she agreed for Sora's decision. He knows that it'll endanger them by keeping him but he has no heart to let him go. Cielo must stay with them...
"Sora is right Cielo... You need to stay with us..." He said, putting his hand on Cielo's shoulder.
Cielo stared at them for a while, feeling a nice warmth that creeping into his heart.
as much he loved to, he can't take the offer, cause he know that he's dangerous. he's a moving bomb that no one should ever cared for...
"I'm sorry Mizuki-sama, Sora-sama. You guys are so nice to me. and it's so rude of me to deject your offer. But I have no choise..." Cielo said, silently adding a cut to his already broken heart.
"Tell me, Cielo... why?" Sora asked.
"I... I can't..."
Cielo bite his lower lip as he looked down, He don't want to go but he has to. He tried to find a reason but nothing came to his blanked mind. Henko is silent too as he wanted Cielo to listen his own heart for once. taking decision for his own sake...
even after some moments of thinking Cielo can't find an answer. his minds are filled with too much 'what if's.
His brain is telling him to go as far as he could, or else he would hurt them. but his heart is screaming for help.
he's in dilema but in the the end he choose to linsten to what he desire...
"I want to stay..." He said lowly.
"what did you say?" Mizuki asked.
Cielo slowly lifted his head, revealing his crying face. "Please, Mizuki-sama... Sora-sama... let me stay with you...I'll do anything... I just... I just... I don't want to be all alone anymore..." He said between his silent sobs.
smile spread across Sora's face as she hugged Cielo in joy, "un, Cielo! you can stay with us. as long as you wanted..."
Mizuki also smiled, he patted Cielo's back as he said, "welcome to our family, otouto..."
Cielo cried even louder, but this time they are tears of joy. "Thank you..." He said countless times...
While inside the mindscape Henko is smiling tenderly at the scene. He, once again, founds a family that would accept him for who he is... "I'm happy for you... Tsuna..."
