Normal POV

'An hour before I collapsed... we need at least half an hour to reach the middle of the maze. and so, I assume that we need another half an hour to get out. Will they make it...?' Tsuna thought in worry for neither of Tsuki nor Toshi could be seen.

"I think you should try to sit down, papa. I'm pretty sure that uncles are coming." Akira said, trying to calm down his impatient master.

Noticing the boy's attempt, Tsuna nodded as he did as told. Yet his feet is still tapping away as he keeps on muttering 'where are they?'

That wasn't for long, though. Because some moments later, Tsuki appeared with Shiro and Shiyo. And soon followed the group of four.

At their presence, Tsuna stood up as he sighed in relief, "goodness, you guys sure take your time!" He said.

"Papa~! Were you waiting for us?" The kids said almost in sync as they rushed to hug their papa.

The twins smiled as Tsuna chuckled at them. "We were... I was thinking on taking break here and share the food that was given to me earlier..."

"Eh? Food?" Tsuki raised a brow as he think back and remember that Tsuna wasn't seen to brought any kind of lunch box or container for food.

"-where did you get those, Tsuna-nii?" Toshi asked in his brother place.

"Well, a nice couple was having picnic here. But then the man had a phone call and all of the sudden says that they must get going. Therefore they gave us their food for free" Tsuna said with such an innocent smile as he gestured Akira to showed them the plastic bag.

"You shouldn't have accepted everything given to you, Tsuna-nii." Tsuki a said advising.

"Those could be poisoned y'know" Toshi chuckled at his own joke. But Tsuna and Akira exchanging glances instead of laughing along.

"But they seems nice..." said Akira.

"And we have taken a bite too" Tsuna added. "Does that means we're going to die?" At these, the kids began to screamin panic.

"No! Papa! Akira! You can't die!"

"We won't let you!"

"Anyone call ambulance, hurry!"

"Can you two breath normally?"

The funny thing is, the most panicking children are Cielo, Kuro, and Natsu. And Akira is shocked to hear them ever worrying him. Toshi could be seen smiling proudly at them.

Meanwhile, Tsuki raised a brow at the change of attitude, yet he didn't feel them faking this. And Tsuna, on the other hand, is smiling happily since this only means that Toshi had succeeded the first trial.

"T-Thank you for worrying us, Nii-chans... B-But I feel fine. Papa though..." Akira said shyly as he felt happiness bloom on his chest.

Tsuna chuckled as he then ruffled Natsu's locks. "I feel fine too~ much better to be honest. I feel energized to see you guys get along like this..." he said hugging them. For once, he didn't fake things because he truly glad to see them together and don't bicker at each other like before. Sensing his happiness, Henko also smiled at this.

The three glanced at Toshi who winks at them as if saying, 'see? What have I told you?'.

All in all, everything turns out to be just fine. Not so long, they started to share the food as they took a break.

The teens were sitting as they chatted. All the while, the kids play by the water fountain.

"Careful! Don't get yourself too wet! We don't bring any change!" Tsuna remind them like a good father.

The children smiled as they waved at his direction, "okay, papa~" Shito replied, representing all of them. Tsuna then seated back.

"So, Toshi... I take that you did something to them?" Tsuna said.

"To be honest, I didn't do much. Just some words. I was amazed myself on them. They are fast learners..." Toshi said, chuckling.

"Well, anyway. I should thanked you for it. So... thank you" Tsuna smiled. Toshi blushed as he replied with 'no problem'.

Tsuna then he glanced at Tsuki who, in a way, seems like he's sulking.

"I have to say my thanks to you too, Tsuki..." he said as the said blond's ear perks up.

"Huh? What for?" He questioned.

"For keeping my Shiro company. All this time, he was always so silent and all. Even I had difficulties to speak with him at times. But now! Look at him! He's able to have such a happy smile on his face. It melts my heart with such happiness... thank you so much..." Tsuna admitted and Tsuki felt like flying above seven skies.

"It's a pleasure to help you, Tsuna-nii." Tsuki said in excitement.

And then there's some calming silence between them with only children voices could be heard.

"Anyway, how's your feeling, Tsuna-nii?" Toshi asked not so long then.

Tsuna smiled as he answered, "this whole thing is tiring. I'm not gonna lie. But it's worth it. Too see my children laughing and be happy... again, thanks to you two..." the two smiled back.

"Oh yeah, there's something that I should tell you guys..." Tsuna said again.

"What is it?"

"Earlier, I called for Gokudera and everyone to join us on this fun."

"Eh? Really?" Tsuki said.

"Yup~ even Kyoya had agreed to come~!" Tsuna smiled brightly while the two sweated at the name.

"A-Anyway... Tsuna-nii? You seems to smiles a lot now. Unlike how you were... is there something happening?" Toshi said feeling a bit suspicious.

"Hmm? You think so? Well, Maybe it was only your feeling. Afterall..." Tsuna replied lighting as a mysterious smile crept up onto Tsuna's lip, giving slight chills at the twins' spine...

"-I didn't change at all..."
