I do not own the characters.

Yeah, they are not in the middle school because that concept is just confusing for me right now, and my plot does not work for middle schoolars, so let's pretend that Tsuna was able to graduate with all the others! YAY!

Tsuna is 17 and everyone's age is up according to him. ( The ones who were 14 when Tsuna was 14 are 17, 15 is 18 here and so on)

Reborn is 25 cause I say so. Not that it is relevant in this cahpter tho.

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 3 : Bright As Sun

After a very uncomfortable breakfast with a smug Spartan tutor, Tsuna nearly ran away from home. He dragged his friends with him and kept running until they were halfway to school.

" Tsuna - are you - okay?" Hayato asked between pants while he tried to even his breathing.

"Yes Ha- Hayato- why wouldn't - I?" Tsuna answered, trying to sound cheerful.

" Well- Tsuna, we basi - cally - ran away - from your place - right Hayato?"Takeshi agreed, as lost as others.

"Shut up Baseball-Freak. But - seriously Boss, what is - wrong?" Hayato asked, worry slightly showing in his voice.

Boss was his new nickname, something filled with an old joke since they were past the point of just to be around each other for mafia family, but were now a real family.

"I - just wanted to have some - practice, since I overslept today." Tsuna answered hoping lie was not so obvious in his voice.

"Okay - If you say so." Hayato answered, pretending not to see the blatant lie.

The silver haired teen glanced to the black haired one. They both knew something was wrong, but they also knew from their experiences, it wasn't a good choice to piss of the fluffy haired teen in the morning.

They started walking to the school slowly. Talking about this and that until they heard someone was calling for Tsuna.

"Tsuna-saaan!"

"And th- Oh, morning Haru"

Haru reached to the boys and turned to the caramel eyed teen that had a warm smile on his lips now.

"Good morniing! What are you guys doing?" she asked cheerfully while trying to tame her wild hair back in the shape she created for 20 minutes back at home.

"Oh you know, we decided to discuss economy in this early hour at outside since we do not have brains, how about you?" Hayato answered sarcastically, making the brunette giggle.

"Shut it Octopus Head, no one is talking with you" Haru answered, a little angry that the silver haired can make the love of her life laugh so easily.

Before Hayato even tried to reach for his bombs, Tsuna interrupted.

"Well, as you can see we are going to school. How about you Haru? It's so unlikely to see you late."

"Oh Haru tried new recipes last night, so I was a little bit too tired to wake up early as usual." Haru said, blushing for an unknown reason for the boys.

"I see. I bet you done well tho." Tsuna said with a smile.

"Thanks" Haru said with a smile. "Would you guys want to try some? I made too much so I took some of it with me, was going to give some of it to the cake shop, since they give free food for the ones in need."

"Oh, is it the shop you and Kyoko work at? I heard you guys started like a week ago?" Takeshi asked, smiling sweetly.

"Yeah, it is! You guys should totally come over; we got awesome cakes and lemonade!" Haru answered, her voice rising with joy she couldn't hold in.

"Sure, when will you guys be there?" Tsuna asked while he take the one of the boxes she was carrying from Haru and put it in his backpack to try at launch.

With same joy in her voice Haru answered while all of them started walking towards the roads where they split for their schools. "Tonight, tomorrow and then we are done for this week. Next week's schedule will be out on tomorrow, since we change it every week according to our exams. The owner is so sweet, she lets us decide when to come!"

"Okay then, I will talk with others then we will let you guys know, okay?" Tsuna said while they split for schools, Haru going to the other road. "Yeah sure!" Haru agreed waving. "Okay, say hi to Kyoko for us!" Tsuna yelled after her, waving back.

Since they graduated from middle school, Haru and Kyoko choose the same high school, while the boys and Nagi decided to go to another one. Mukuro and the two boys from his gang, Chikusa and Ken, was also in their school, along with the Simon family where as M.M. and Flan choose to go to the same school as Haru and Kyoko.

While the boys were talking about this and that, Tsuna calmed down from the events of the morning. When they went in to their first class of the day – which was Math, ugh! – He was back to his cheerful self. Enma smiled when he saw him and slid towards left so Tsuna could sit next to him. They talked about assignments they still didn't finish for a while, figuring out they only had one in common, while waiting the class to fill up.

"You want to go to the cake shop today? We can finish the assignment there?" Tsuna asked, after explaining how Haru invited them on the way to the school.

"Sure, that sounds great! And if you are free, we can meet up tonight at the library to finish the other assignments? I am lost at some, I could use some help from you and books. And home is going to be loud tonight; Kaoru has a baseball game he wants to watch while Koyo has a boxer he supports who has a box match tonight. I don't think I will be able to finish any homework between them" Enma said, laughing as if he was pitying himself when he thought of him between them.

"Oh, library would be so good, I have books to return anyways, and they must be talking about the games Takeshi and Ryohei was talking about, should we tell them about it, maybe they would like to watch together?" Tsuna asked, thinking how Kaoru and Takeshi always bounded over baseball, much like Koyo and Ryohei, who bonded over boxing.

After getting Enma's okay, Tsuna had texted Takeshi and Ryohei. Yes, Takeshi was in the same class with him, but to talk secretly with your desk mate and your friend who sit 2 desk left and 1 desk behind you was different. And Ryohei was probably at the boxing club, which was at the basement of school so texting was the quickest way.

When all the plans for the night was done, Tsuna turned his attention back to school for the day. They tried Haru's new recipe at the lunch – it was a tiny bit too sweet but not disgusting like the one 2 before this – and tried to not to sleep at the classes after lunch. It was a hot day and with a full stomach, it meant sleep for teenagers.

When the school ended; Hayato and Shitt.P joined them to the library after a loud hour in the cake shop. Haru and Kyoko said they would be joining them an hour later, since their shift would be ended.

Enma and Tsuna finished their assignment in half an hour mostly thanks to Hayato, and decided it was time to have a break to eat something. Studying appearently was a major hunger reason. They just kept eating constantly in the library. – Not that it was any different at home, but besides Nana, no one payed attention to that.- And after 2 more breaks and 3 more hours, they went back home.

When Tsuna came home at 7.52 pm, he found a way too angry Reborn waiting for him. That was when he remembered that hitman told him to come directly to home after school, since they had training to do.

Reborn waited for the brat to come home all day, planning a training session, and the topics he would like to talk about, and tests he would forcefully make Tsuna solve.

It was around 5 pm that Reborn realised the brat wouldn't be coming home early, since he left the school at 3 pm. He called Ryohei around 5.30, since Ryohei was the only one who had the capacity to forget the hitman called him sooner than the next morning. To learn that Tsuna would be at the library with Enma, was surprisingly annoyed the hitman more than the fact that the brat fucking forget him.

The constant use of "Enma" and "Simon" and "Enma" and "Enma" was starting to piss hitman off. What was so great about this red haired brat that Tsuna couldn't left his fucking side? Not even when he was waiting at home.

"Am I... Jealous? Of them? Me? The greatest hitman? Jealous because of a freaking brat? No. I am just… angry. That brat shouldn't forget my words this easily. He is going to be a boss; he needs to learn to think before okaying stuff. Stupid brat."

Thoughts like this haunted the hitman all afternoon. He waited for Tsuna, getting angrier every passing second he didn't showed up. As a result, when Tsuna got home, the hitman was surrounded with a deadly aura. Of course the little brunette had no idea that the hitman was angry with himself, for the fact that he let the teen change so much. For the fact that he ignored what was going on until he had to get jealous of a fucking kid. And he was angrier for the fact that he had no idea how the fuck so much people had gotten in front of him enough that Tsuna was able to forget the hitman's fucking words.

Face the Reborn in his current state, was scary. Reborn was leaning the wall sideways to the wall next to the door and he had his fedora covered his eyes. His arms were crossed and his cute but dangerous chameleon was on his shoulder, watching carefully. If you were far far away, you could have thought the man seemed in peace. But Tsuna was close and the scary aura of the hitman was so strong that he could have sense it from meters before, that was also the reason why it was scary. Before he opened the door, Tsuna didn't notice him. He had no idea how deep he was in this shit, because his intuition was shut down with how much he forced his mind at the library over his books because of the oncoming exams.

"Um.. Hi?" he asked, trying to decide if he was fast enough to run away. Reborn refused to talk. He just tilted his head up, allowing Tsuna to see his anger filled eyes.

"Looking as bright as sun, aren't you?" Tsuna asked, unable to stop himself.

"Where were you?" Reborn asked, voice so deep with anger that it made Tsuna take a step back.

He started babbling about how he had to study and how they were at the library until Reborn cut him with a sharp move of his hand.

"Upstairs. Change your clothes. No dinner until you finish the training of the day." Reborn said, cold anger still thick in his voice.

When Tsuna finally ate, it was around 11 pm, and he almost fell asleep on his soup. Finally out of anger, Reborn realised maybe, just maybe, he forced the brat a tiny bit too much. So, since he was an awesome gentleman as much as an awesome hitman, he took the brat who was fast asleep on the table in his arms, so he could put him in his bed.

In the middle of the stairs, Tsuna tightened his arms around the hitman's neck, this resulting that hitman couldn't just dump him in the bed. He sat down and placed the brunette down slowly, carefully.

Before he could get out of from teen's arms, Tsuna noticed that Reborn was leaving even though his sleep clouded mind.

Tsuna felt a sob was about to get out of him. "Please" he said. Reborn wasn't even aware of what Tsuna was begging for. The kid was just about to cry.

The hitman wasn't expecting this, so a red-faced Tsuna, sobbing and almost crying under him while arms were tight around his neck was too much for Reborn.

He took a deep breath and tried to even his voice while he said "Go back to sleep"

"Please stay with me." Tsuna said, a sob escaping from him at the end, followed by tears from his eyes. Reborn sighed; he was starting to believe that he was finally getting the punishment for all the lives he took. Not that he believed in any religion or anything, but he kind of felt that this brat would be the end of him.

He slowly laid next to the brunette, even though his better judgment. To be this close to this kid, showed that it was a bad idea in the morning. While he was deciding if he should leave, Tsuna fell back into the sleep.

Reborn forced himself to leave after at least an hour of watching Tsuna, of trying to memorise his sweet scent, of trying to memorise how that fluffy hair tickles his nose when he smells it, of trying to not to kiss him, failing for a split second which he couldn't help and kissed those plump lips.

He honestly believed that he was doomed with this kid.

Yeah, this is the end of the rewritten chapters, I am sligtly pleased that at least that horrible fic is gone from this website now. I know that some fics from here got stolen -at least that was what the news were about- but honestly, this place is the one I post, so I do not care about the rest of them.

Comments and criticism are welcome.
