Me: Hello~ As you probably do not know, this fanfiction is ended. This is the first part to the series that I am writing and a sequel will be coming out very shortly~ In the meantime, I'll give you guys a little preview of what is to come. The sequel will be called 'Per Nascondere Nel Cielo'.
The second Tsuna met the strange baby claiming to be his tutor, he ran.
It was four months ago that the brunet realized he had little to no purpose to go to school. Everyone bullied him, his attraction to his crush was slowly disappearing and everything taught there was boring. Slowly, the boy found himself skipping school more and more, if only to walk through the city or lock himself in his room. It wasn't until now that his mother confronted him about it.
"Tsu-kun, a home tutor is coming today." 'Oh hell no!' Those were the words that had him scrambling to put his street clothes on -a pair of jeans and a white hoodie with orange trimmings- and bolt out of there. Grabbing only his wallet and cell phone, he vaulted over the stairs and out the door. He was only stopped when he almost tripped over a baby in a fedora.
"Ciaossu~!" The baby said in obvious Italian (although how he knew it was Italian, he wasn't sure), causing Tsuna's thoughts to go haywire. 'Who is this?' 'Where's the home tutor?' 'Is he lost?'.
Crouching down to the kid's eye level, Tsuna wondered what the kid was even doing here, "Hey, are you lost? Where are your parents?"
Before the kid could respond, a resounding "TSU-KUN!" came from inside the house. No doubt his mother was irritated at him for vaulting over her stairs and running away again.
Biting his lip, Tsuna turned back to the kid in obvious discomfort. "Look, I can't help you right now, but if you go to my mother, the woman who will be barging out of that door, she'll be able to take you to wherever you need to go. I gotta go before she catches me!" Running around the strange baby in the fedora, the brunet bolted down the street, climbing over the fence and headed into the city.
Taking a break from running ten minutes later, the boy tightened his shoelaces and pulled his hood over his head before walking the rest of the way to his unknown destination. It didn't take long for the taller buildings to come into view, Namimori was a small town, after all. So Tsuna stuck to the crowds that were erupting, naturally blending into the background before taking a seat at a park bench.
Tsuna wondered when things had changed for him. It still felt the same, but ever since he woke up in that abandoned apartment a few months ago he felt . . .unnerved, to say the least. His homework suddenly felt ten times easier and his body lighter, more graceful. Still, he kept his grades on the low side for fear of being accused of cheating and hid his athletic prowess from the . . .less forgiving of his peers.
That wasn't even the weirdest part. It was the feelings he held for his parents and peers as well. He still loved his mother, but there were times when he just felt so tired with having to deal with her. The smoldering hate he used to carry around for his father was gone, replaced with an indifference that Tsuna didn't even know he was capable of feeling. It almost felt like he didn't even have a father. Hell, he started referring to the man as 'Iemitsu' instead of 'dad' in his head. His crush on Kyoko-chan had dulled to friendly affection and his fear of Mochida was more annoyance than actual fear.
He still held a healthy fear of the prefect, Hibari, but it was more . . .cautionary then panicked. Like he knew that he wasn't at Hibari's level and probably shouldn't engage him, even accidentally. So, with that thought, he started arriving to school on time, if he even bothered to come.
What freaked him out the most though was that all of these changes happened literally overnight. That wasn't normal no matter how you looked at it.
Looking at the time on his phone, Tsuna decided that his mom had probably cooled down enough for him to go home. Letting down his hood, the brunet was about to get up before he heard a strangely familiar high-pitched voice, "Ciaossu." Looking over next to him, Tsuna saw the strange baby from earlier. "Are you Sawada Tsunayoshi?" Blinking in confusion; the teen debated with himself whether or not he should answer the kid.
Before he could really make up his mind, his mouth moved ahead of him, "A-ah, I am. And who might you be. . . ?" It felt strange addressing a baby with such a polite demeanor, but something told him that this was the right thing to do.
A smirk appeared on the fedora-wearing baby's face, causing a shiver to run down Tsuna's spine. "I am your new tutor, Reborn."
Oh fuck. The brunet could only hope that his legs could carry him far enough.
Me: Enjoy my minio- I mean . . .my readers . . . .
