Velvet Skies and Starry Eyes

Lily: Yo! This will be my very first fan fic ever!

Shiro: You mean our first fan fic

Lily: No, I mean mine. I wrote this all on my own. You sat on my bed and criticized my novel.

Shiro: I gave you helpful criticisms for your all of your stories.

Lily: No you pissed me off. Now anyways, I hope the readers like this. It is a female Tsuna and Giotto. I'm sorry if the characters seem a little OOC sometimes.

Shiro: Read and review please. Although try to keep the criticisms to a minimum, Lily has a bad case of inferiority complex.

Lily: I do not, I just…value…other people's opinions…a lot….(huddles in a corner of despair)

Shiro: If you're worried about her getting a big head, don't fret. I'll be there to knock her down several pegs.

Lily: (suddenly pops back up) You know I don't understand how you can say all that looking and sounding so emotionless…It's creepy. Anyways enjoy!

Shiro: This is the disclaimer- We do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Chapter 1: Several First Encounters

A boy around the age of ten, with golden hair that seemed to defy gravity lay under one of the many trees in the park. There were a few children there, but they didn't bother him. He appeared to be dreaming.

A little four year old girl with long, soft, chocolate color hair was walking alone. She stopped at the entrance of the park and watched the other kids around her age through the bangs that covered her eyes. Her eyes, if you were close enough to see, were a soft chocolate or perhaps caramel color. Tears started to border the edges of her eyes, and she was about to continue on her way when she spotted the blond hair boy.

Intrigued, the girl started to quietly walk over to the boy. She stopped a short distance away debating whether or not to go up to him.

The boy suddenly frowned and reached up with one of his hands, like he was trying to grab something or someone. The boy seemed upset.

'What could he possibly be dreaming to make him so sad?' The little girl wondered. She closed the rest of the distance between her and the boy. Looking down once more at the saddened face, the little girl made her decision. She reached up and held onto the boy's hand. The boy's hand closed gently around her hand, and his face relaxed with a small smile.

The boy slowly opened his eyes to reveal gorgeous sky blue eyes. He saw that he was holding someone's hand and looked over. The little girl gave him a wide comforting smile.

"You looked like you really needed to hold someone's hand," She said cutely. The boy was slightly stunned, but her words made him smile.

She giggled, "Well I have to go now. I hope you feel better. I like your face more when you smile rather than when you look sad. So smile more!" The little girl smiled again before detaching her hand and skipping away.

They boy smiled softly. "Thank you," he whispered.

~6 years later~

The little girl was ten years old now and currently was hiding in the park. After school the bullies were trying to find her so she ran for her life and ended up hiding in the park. She already had several scratches from falling so many times before she reached her hiding place. She was crying big crystal like tears while hugging her knees. She was always being bullied because she wasn't very good at anything.

The bullies that were chasing her started to pass the park. The little girl tried to make herself as small as possible and hoped they wouldn't find her.

The little girl really had no luck because right then she hiccupped. The bullies turned and smirked.

"Well, look who we have here. The little scaredy cat who won't help us out," The biggest, and probably the leader of the group sneered. They shoved the little girl against the tree. She yelped in surprise and pain.

Just then the blond hair boy came out of the store across from the park. He was texting someone on his phone when he glanced up and saw the little girl. She was surrounded by five other kids. Two of the kids had pulled her to her feet while the others surrounded her and laughed as the biggest one grabbed her bangs and slammed her head against the tree.

The boy put his phone away and ran over to the little girl. "Hey! Knock it off," He yelled.

The bullies looked around. Seeing the 16 year old boy in front of them and a few adults looking over, they decided to make a run for it.

The girl curled up where they had dropped her and resumed hugging her knees, burying her face, and crying. The golden haired boy reached over and held on of her hands. She looked up.

He smiled, "You look like you really need to hold someone's hand." Slowly the little girl smiled as she remembered the boy. "So what's your name," he asked.

"I-I'm Tsunayoshi Sawada. But most people just call me Tsuna," The little girl answered as she wiped her eyes with the back of her other hand.

"That's a nice name. My name is Ieyasu Giotto Sawada. But my friends call me Giotto." The boy ruffled her hair.

"Sawada? Are we related?" Tsuna asked.

"Ha ha! I don't think so." The boy said as he helped Tsuna to her feet.

"Ano…" The little girl blushed and looked down to her feet.

"What is it?" Giotto questioned. 'She's really cute,' He thought, 'why would anyone want to pick on her?'

"Can I call you Gio-nii?" Tsuna asked nervously.

Giotto chucked. "Sure. I would love to be your big brother. So you have to promise to come to me when you're in trouble for now on, alright?"

"Promise!" Tsuna cheered. She tackled Giotto, hugging him with all her might while she rubbed her face into his stomach.

Giotto smiled. Tsuna's hug made him feel really light and happy. "Okay kiddo! We should probably get you home."

Tsuna giggled and smiled. "Okay Gio-nii!"

As they walked Tsuna smiled and giggled. They talked about whatever came to their minds and got to know each other better. After a while Giotto noticed that the path they were on was very familiar. In fact…this was his route to go home!

'Wait a sec. I'm pretty sure Tsuna is the one leading the way to her house, but then…' Giotto noticed his house a few houses down where Tsuna had stopped. He laughed, Tsuna looked up curiously.

"Well, what do you know? The little girl I was looking for was actually a neighbor!" Tsuna studied his face, still confused. "You see Tsuna," Giotto pointed, "my house is just a few doors down." To be precise his house was across the street and the third house down from the one directly across Tsuna's own home.

Tsuna's eyes widened. "Really!" She shouted.

Giotto chuckled, "Yeah. Hey Tsuna, tomorrow there's no school, so do you wanna spend the day with me?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Tsuna nodded her head vigorously.

Giotto laughed quietly at her enthusiasm.

"Tsu-chan!" A female voice called.

"Ah! Mama!" Tsuna called.

"Ara, ara. Tsu-chan who is this nice young man?" Tsuna's mom asked.

"Mama, mama! This is Gio-nii! Gio-nii this is my mama!" Tsuna smiled.

Giotto held out a hand, "Nice to meet you, my name is Ieyasu Giotto Sawada, but please call me Giotto."

Tsuna's mom smiled and shook his hand. "You can call me Nana. Thank you for looking after my Tsu-chan, she seems to like you a lot."

"Ha ha! It's no problem Tsuna's a nice little girl. I like having her around." Giotto rubbed the back of his head.

Nana giggled, "Why don't you stay for dinner Giotto-kun, I'm sure Tsu-chan would like it"

Tsuna nodded excitedly and smiled up at Giotto expectantly.

Giotto laughed, "I can't beat that face. Alright, let me let my pops know real quick."

Dinner was fun and filled with laughter. Tsuna smiled the whole time and by the end of the night it really felt like Giotto was a part of their family.

As Nana was washing the dishes Giotto slipped on his shoes, getting ready to leave. Tsuna was a little disappointed, but knew she was going to see Giotto again tomorrow so she was still happy.

"Hey Tsuna," Giotto called for her attention, "Remember when you met me in the park?"

"Yup," Tsuna smiled

"Well, I've been looking for you since then" Giotto crouched down to her level.

"Huh, why" Tsuna tilted her head.

'So cute!' Giotto thought. "Well I wanted to thank you. You see I was having a really bad nightmare, but you were able to wake me up and make all my fear and troubles go away. I got the feeling that no one else would have been able to do that, so thank you." Giotto smiled warmly at her.

Tsuna blushed. "I didn't do anything as noble as that. But I'm really glad you felt better!" Tsuna leaned forward to wrap her arms around his neck and hugged Giotto.

Giotto's smile softened and accepted the warm embrace.

When they broke apart Giotto stood up and put his hand on the door knob."See you tomorrow Tsu-chan! I'll pick you up at 9 o' clock, ok?"

Tsuna blushed at the change of nicknames, but smiled and nodded. "Bye, bye Gio-nii." Giotto waved and closed the door behind him.

"Tsu-chan!" Nana called from the kitchen. Nana smiled and watched as her daughter came running into kitchen. "Why don't we get your bangs trimmed tomorrow okay?"

"But I'm playing with Gio-nii tomorrow at 9!" Tsuna exclaimed.

"Okay, okay. We'll leave at 8 so that you make it back in time ok?" Nana said gently.

"Okay mama!" Tsuna smiled. Tsuna got ready for bed and fell asleep smiling.

The next morning Tsuna and Nana got up at 8. Tsuna wore a long sleeved navy blue shirt, black vest, and white shorts that stopped at her upper thigh. They left around 7:30 and walked over to the shopping district and the barber shop. The workers there were cheerful and kind. After Tsuna's bangs were cut they all cooed and commented how much cuter Tsuna was when you could properly see her eyes. Tsuna couldn't completely understand, but blushed and smiled nonetheless. After they were finally able to make it out of the shop Tsuna and her mother went back home so that Tsuna could get ready for her day with Giotto.
