Hey! What up people! I actually know very well I still have my two stories going on, but I couldn't ignore this plot bunny and I haven't gotten back into the FT groove. And I need to write to get rid of my block for my other KHR story.

Oh and one more thing! I find it odd that people always use Vongola mansion instead of HQ. Yes, technically they can afford and most probably do live in one, but then what about the other family members? Where do they function and such? No matter what I find both essential so for me, the HQ and mansion are two separate buildings connected by a garden space and bridge (for the upper floors). Imagine Hogwarts would ya? That kinda bridge.

So basically, HQ≠mansion. Same place, different building people.

Ahem let's get started shall we?

WARNING, sappiness and fluff.

DISCLAIMER, I want to say I do own KHR, but- *gun cocks* contrary to popular belief, I do want to stay alive. You can place the gun down now Reborn.

Presenting, what do men want: Vongola Style!


What Vongola Decimo wants: Her freedom -or- "I don't want you to be restricted because of who I am."

=Bow Wow Woof Bark=

"I'm fine on my own, Kyoko."

"You say that, Tsu-kun. But I know you want help."

"…"

"Pleaseeeee."

"…... Fine, but only for the hour!"

"Yay! You won't regret it!"

Tsuna sighs, Kyoko beams. This had become a rather frequent occurrence in Vongola HQ, and Tsuna wasn't liking it one bit. What? No, you dolts! Of course he loves it when she sticks around to help him! He just doesn't like how Kyoko constantly declines Haru and the girls' invitation to tea for the sake of helping him. He felt guilty for it since today was no different; watching his wife bouncing here and there in his office as she filed his paperwork, he couldn't help but stare, thinking how lucky he was to have her.

"Tsu-kun! Stop daydreaming! We can spend some time together if we get your work done, right?" Kyoko caught him gazing wistfully at her and reprimanded the brunette with a blush on her face.

"I-I wasn't!" Tsuna's head snapped up. Damnit, he was careless.

"Suuuure you weren't." she giggled and walked out of the office to get her beloved husband some coffee.

Sure enough, Tsuna finished his work faster with Kyoko by his side that afternoon. Even Reborn couldn't find an excuse to shoot his ex-pupil (even though he did it anyway), and disappeared from the couple's sight, sporting a subtle pout which only Decimo would notice and a heart of satisfaction at how well he worked with a loved one by his side.

"Reborn-kun never changes does he?" Kyoko smiled as she said this.

"Unfortunately…" Tsuna mumbled under his breath before turning to his wife with the widest smile she'd seen in weeks. "Well then my lady," he extended a hand to her. "Shall we head to the gardens before dinner?"

Kyoko was slightly taken aback but soon smiled back and took his hand. "Of course… My prince." She giggled at his reddening face, taking their time as they headed downstairs.

The private gardens which extended from the back of Vongola HQ to circle almost the entire Vongola mansion seemed greener than ever to Tsuna, having finally gotten a short break from the madness of paperwork. The two walked hand in hand, wandering aimlessly around the greenery in comfortable silence with occasional small talk and whispers of sweet nothings, making both parties blush to the tips of their ears.

"Say… Kyoko? Can I ask you something?" Tsuna spoke while staring ahead into the distance.

"Hmm? Of course you can ,Tsu-kun. Why are you asking for permission anyway?"

"Well… why do you choose to stick around and help me with my work instead of heading out with Haru and the others? And not just once or twice, but every time! I feel bad for keeping you from having fun…"

"So that was what was bugging you…" Kyoko said, sighing softly.

"You knew?"

"Of course I did, silly. But I didn't want to pressure you. I knew you'd tell me when you were ready."

Tsuna said nothing, overwhelmed with affection, opting to just hug Kyoko as tightly as he could. "How did I get so lucky?" he breathed out after a while, tickling her ear with his breath, causing her to giggle.

"I believe that's my line."

Tsuna chuckled and let her go. "I think not. But I'm serious. Kyoko, I don't want you to restrict yourself or go out of your way just for me, or at least not all the time. I want you to have to freedom to do what you want. Your happiness will always be my priority."

"Tsu-kun…" don't you see? You are my happiness.

"And I don't think I'll survive another one of Haru's complaints about how you keep choosing me over her lately." He laughed lightly.

"Well… she has been pouting more than usual…" Their eyes met and they both burst out laughing. Some of the maids and Mafioso who were near the windows peered out in curiosity, only to scurry away when they saw the intimate moment their boss was having.

"Tsu-kun." Kyoko took his hands and looked straight into his honey eyes. "I know you care, but so do I. Please let me help you when I can okay?"

"How can I refuse when you put it that way?" Tsuna sighed playfully in resignation. "but under the condition that you allow yourself to be pampered from time to time, deal?"

She giggled before reaching up to peck him on the nose. "Deal."

The intimate air between them was broken by a slightly irritated Haru calling them back to the mansion for dinner. And seeing that the sun was beginning to dip, they realised they had been gone for quite a bit. Well, it was nice while it lasted.

"Kyoko-chan! Tsuna-san! Seriously though, where have you two been? Hayato has turned both the mansion AND headquarters upside down because he couldn't find you in your office!"

"Shit." Tsuna blanched, thinking of the damage already.

"There, there. It isn't like you to just curse all of a sudden." Kyoko soothed. "You can get back at him at dinner."

"Ugh. They're all rubbing off on me…"

"You mean Mukuro-san and Gokudera-kun don't you?"

"Oh come on already! Everyone's waiting! And before you ask, Hibari-san is there thanks to Mukuro-san's absence." And then Haru disappeared out of sight, most probably to find and stop a certain bomber from tearing the place down.

"I never get to catch a break." Tsuna sighed, running a hand through his untameable locks.

"Isn't that what our family is about?" Kyoko chuckled at his frustration. "Come on, Tsu-kun, let's get to the dining hall. I'm hungry."

Tsuna smiled. "Well then, the lady's wish is my command."

To Kyoko:

"I don't want you to be restricted because of who I am; your happiness will always mean most to me." -Tsuna
