Yeah it has been a long time since I uploaded. I had writers block for awhile and my user started acting weird for a bit but I'm back with a new chapter! Sorry for the wait. Since all the problems have been solved I should be quicker in updating!
Anyway enough of my ranting, TO THE STORY!
Last time,
"What kind of training are you doing with Reborn-chan Tsuna? Can I go and watch?" Kyoko asked, leaning into Tsuna and giving him a cute smile. Tsuna blushed at how close Kyoko was getting to his face. He stammered out, "W-well I'm n-not so sure myself b-but I don't think it's a good idea to bring more people with Reborn's training. s-sorry." Tsuna averted his eyes so he couldn't see the sadness pass through Kyoko's eyes. "Oh, okay then. We should all hang out tomorrow then if you can't on Sunday." She said and everyone started to make plans for Saturday.
Unexpected Events
Saturday morning came around and for once Tsuna woke up to the birds chirping instead of a massive head trauma from a 1 ton mallet. He checked his clock to see it was about 10.
"They said they would be here around 12 so I have some time." he thought while stretching his arms. As he made his way downstairs Tsuna started to think about how to get out of the house without his mother or anyone else seeing him and questioning him on his destination.
"If it comes down to it I could always just fly out the window. I mean it wouldn't be that hard and Bianchi is the only one who may notice my flames." Tsuna thought to himself as he made his way to the kitchen already hearing the usual chaos from the stairwell.
As he walked into the kitchen, Bianchi was the first to see him "Morning." Was her short greeting before turning back to do the rest of the dishes. His mother turned and smiled at him.
"Good morning Tsu-kun, your breakfast is on the table." she said while picking up a running Lambo and placing him on a chair. Tsuna smiled and sat down to eat his eggs and rice while greeting Fuuta who surprisingly was later than him to the kitchen.
After finishing his breakfast, he gave his dirty dishes to Bianchi before heading to his room to change out of his pajamas. Just as he was putting a shirt on, he heard a familiar yell coming from outside.
"JUUDAIME! I'VE COME TO PICK YOU UP!" "Yep, definitely Gokudera." Tsuna thought as he heard some laughter outside as well "Well you can't have one show up without the other now can you?" he thought with a small laugh as he walked downstairs to greet his friends.
"Kaa-san, I'll be heading out I should be back before night okay?" Tsuna called to his mother as he walked by the kitchen door. His mother smiled and gave a "be careful" as he walked by. Tsuna opened the front door and there stood Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Enma.
Yamamoto smiled "Yo Tsuna, we thought of heading to the arcade first then see what happens from there." He said. Tsuna smiled and nodded "That sounds good let's go."
After a few hours of playing random games in the arcade, the group decided it was time to eat. The guys walked around the market section of the city before deciding on a café across the street. But before they could cross, a familiar voice stopped them.
"Ah, Tsuna-san, what are you doing here?" Haru asked walking up to the group with Hana and Kyoko on either side of her. Tsuna gave a nervous smile to the three girls "We just came here to get something to eat. How are you three?" he asked, eyes locking onto Kyoko as she made her way to his side and leaned a little too close for comfort.
"Ah, its Haru and Kyoko's Appreciation Day so we are buying cake to eat!" Haru explains while shoving the bag she was carrying into Tsuna's face to prove her point. Hana sighs. "I only came along because Kyoko asked me to." She stated glaring at the boys.
Tsuna sweat dropped and tried to move away from Kyoko without it being too obvious. "Ah, okay then. Well then, we won't keep you from your cake any longer." He said, stepping in between Gokudera and Yamamoto.
Just as the boys started to leave, Kyoko stepped in their way smiling, "It's okay, how about we all get something to eat, the cake can wait. Is that okay with you?" she asked starring at Tsuna. "That's a great idea!" Haru exclaimed while Hana just sighed and nodded.
Yamamoto smiled "It's alright with us. The more the merrier!" he said as he started walking toward the café's entrance. Tsuna gave a strained smile at the girls and walked in behind Yamamoto, knowing that this was going to be awkward.
The café was small and not very packed. There were a few people spread at different tables all talking quietly to one another. The café had a dark black carpeted floor. The lower half of the wall was paneled with wood while the top was painted a deep gold. There were no tables.
Gokudera found a booth in the corner that was large enough to fit them all. Tsuna made sure to sit in between Enma and Gokudera. Kyoko sat so she was almost facing Tsuna in the curved booth with Hana on her left and Haru on her right. Yamamoto sat in between Enma and Haru.
The waiter comes to takes their order after that everyone started talking. Gokudera strikes up a surprisingly quiet argument with Yamamoto while Tsuna tries to get Enma into talking. When the waiter comes back with their drinks Haru looks over to Tsuna "Hey Tsuna-san, what are you doing tomorrow?" she asks.
Tsuna looks up surprised and before he can make a response Kyoko beat him to it. "Tsuna-kun has plans with Reborn-chan for tomorrow right Tsuna-kun?" she smiles at him. "A-ah that's right sorry Haru." Tsuna answers, looking away from the girls.
"Ha-hi? Really? Where are you training with Reborn-chan?" Haru asks looking curiously at Tsuna who is still looking away. "I-I'm not sure. Reborn never t-told me exactly where but I'm not supposed to have a-anyone come with me, sorry." Tsuna says.
Haru starts to pout. "That isn't fair. Haru wants to cheer Tsuna-san on in his training because that's what a future wife should do!" she said arrogantly placing a fist on her chest. Tsuna along with Enma sweat dropped at the scene. "Why do you keep insisting you're my future wife?" Tsuna whispered. Tsuna looked over and saw Kyoko's frown and just knew this would get really awkward.
Kyoko suddenly looks toward him and Tsuna stiffens. "Tsuna-kun, I don't think Reborn would mind if we came with you. How about we ask him when he gets home?" Kyoko asks.
Tsuna freezes, eyes going wide as he tried to come up with a response. He looks around the table and realizes that everyone is waiting for him to answer. "A-ah I really don't think that's a good idea. Re-Reborn said that it was only me going up a-and I don't want to make him mad." Tsuna said hoping that they would leave it at that.
Kyoko unfortunately didn't want to leave it and she tried again "Well, when does he get back? We all could ask him if we can go." She said. Haru chimed in. "Yea! I bet Reborn-chan would let us come if we ask him!" she practically yelled.
Tsuna was getting really nervous at how this was heading "If this keeps up then they'll get suspicious and may follow me tomorrow! Then Reborn will find out and I'll be toast!" he thought nearly breaking out in a sweat.
Fortunately lady luck gave him a break and Yamamoto and Gokudera came to his rescue. "Maa maa, Tsuna said that Reborn said no one else right? Nothing we can do about it." Yamamoto smiled. "If Juudaime said no then that means no!" Gokudera exclaimed standing from his seat. Kyoko and Haru look like they want to continue but none the less stayed quiet.
Tsuna, once he knows no one was looking lets out a relieved sigh. "You're lucky those two decided to help you instead of join with the girls." Enma whispers so only Tsuna can hear. Tsuna jumps in surprise before looking at his redheaded friend. "I'm kind on curious why you are so defensive about it but who am I to judge." Enma states before drinking some water.
Tsuna just stared at Enma for about 2 minutes before responding "W-what do you mean? I'm just scared of what Reborn will do if I disobey him." Tsuna tries. "If you're so scared about disobeying him then you're lying when you say you don't want to be a boss? Isn't he trying to make you the boss?" Enma asks staring him.
Tsuna's eyes widened he stuttered a few words before being able to speak again "No! I don't ever want to be the Vongola boss! But I don't even know where I'm supposed to go in the woods or when Reborn is getting back tonight!" he explained to his very observant friend. Enma didn't say anymore about the subject and Tsuna was pulled into breaking up an argument between Haru and Gokudera.
About a half an hour later, everyone finished their food and the girls and guys parted ways. The girls were off to Haru's while the guys were going to Tsuna's (shocking choice there). Nothing eventful happened on the way to Tsuna's except the usual argument between Yamamoto and Gokudera but Tsuna quickly stopped that from getting out of hand.
When they reached Tsuna's house, it was around 6pm. "Would you guys like to stay for awhile?" Tsuna asked his friends "Sorry Juudaime, I have some things I need to get before it gets too late." Gokudera said bowing in apology.
Yamamoto scratched the back of his head "Same here I promised my pops I'd help out tonight around 7 sorry." He said. Enma just shook his head when Tsuna looked at him for an answer. Tsuna smiled at his friends "It's okay Gokudera-kun no need to bow and then I'll see you guys on Monday then. Goodnight." He said before entering his house.
Tsuna greeted his mother and everyone else when he walked by the kitchen where they were all eating. When his mother asked him if he wanted to join them, he declined saying he had already ate dinner before heading up to his room. He played some videogames till about 9 when he decided to go to bed.
"Well I do need to wake up early to get out of the house before anyone can question me on where I'm going." Tsuna said to no one in particular before changing into his pajamas. Tsuna walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth before heading back to his room. "I hope nothing bad happens tomorrow." Was Tsuna's last thought before falling asleep.
AN: How was this chapter? I know that it is still pretty short and I'm trying to get better at writing long chapters.
Good news though the next chapter is the long awaited date between Tsuna and Hibari! I swear the next chapter will be longer and I'm open to any constructive criticism you have to offer. I know I am still new at this so Rate and Review!
