The Feeling of Being a Father
Chapter #1- When the Skies Encountered
"Are you all done?" Giotto asked, glancing at his guardians. The storm guardian, G, nodded as he kicked one of the unconscious bodies to the side.
"Yare, yare… this is easier than I thought it would be. And how dare you pull the great Lampo-sama from his peaceful nap? I was having a very good dream that time." the lighting guardian, Lampo said to G.
"Did you say something?" G asked, giving a glare that sent shivers running down Lampo's spine.
"N-nothing at all, G-sama!" Lampo whimpered as he hid behind the rain guardian Asari.
"Tch, what a coward…"
Lampo immediately became defensive. "The great Lampo-sama is NOT a coward, pinky head!"
"What did you just call me, fucking brat!" G angrily yelled as he whacked Lampo's head. Lampo had chibi tears falling from his eyes as he hid behind Giotto. Meanwhile, Asari was trying to calm the angry storm down.
"Maa, maa! Cool down, G. He's just a kid."
"He's not a five year old kid anymore, Asari! He's fucking twenty-one years old for god sake! Let go of me, Asari! I'm going to shove some senses into that fucking rude bastard's head!" G exclaimed, struggling against Asari's firm grip.
Giotto sweat dropped at the sight as he put his palm on his forehead, deciding that he will just act like he had never seen anything.
"Giotto! Look out!" G suddenly yelled, but it's too late as the blonde Primo was being pushed by some unknown person into the bushes nearby. Giotto, who was shocked by the sudden attack, suddenly felt a knife deeply stabbed into his left shoulder.
BANG!
G shot the unknown man, and the body fell on top of Giotto. The Vongola boss pushed the body away, and moaned in pain as he felt the blood soaking his cloth. G knelt down next to his boss and carefully pulled the knife out.
"Are you okay, Giotto?" G asked but Giotto just kept silent as he glanced at another place.
"Giotto?"
"I sense… some people nearby." Giotto muttered, and they heard a soft gasp. The guardians pulled out their weapons as they glared at the shadowed figure.
"Come out… we're not going to hurt you, kid." Giotto said suddenly, making his guardians surprised. It's not enemies?
The shadowed figure hesitated for a while, before stepping out from the dark, and the guardians (included Giotto, Alaude and Daemon) gasped when they saw the little boy.
The boy in front of them looked way too much like their boss that G even thought that it was the child self of Giotto.
Giotto stood up, ignoring the pain of his shoulder as he knelt in front of the boy. However, the boy stepped back once he saw so many (scary-looking) men.
"Don't worry; we're not going to hurt you…" Giotto gently said, as he saw the look of fear on boy's face. "What's your name, little boy?"
"S-Sawada Tsunayoshi, but you can just call me Tsuna." Tsuna shyly said, but for Giotto, it was a very cute sight.
"So cute!" Giotto thought, and he felt the urge to pinch the chubby cheeks of the boy.
"Why are you here? It's dangerous to walk alone in the dark. Where are your parents?" Giotto asked. Tsuna slowly shook his head. "Papa and mama dead…" he murmured sadly. Giotto felt a pang of sadness for the boy.
"I see… you don't have to continue if it brings back your bad memories…" Giotto said and outstretched his arms for the boy. "Come here, Tsuna. We are not going to hurt you and from now on, I'll be your new papa…"
All the guardians and I mean all, looked at their boss as if he was crazy. Meanwhile, Tsuna looked at Giotto in shock. "Y-You're going to be my papa…?"
"Yes, from now on, we're going to be family, Tsuna." Giotto said as he gave a loving smile for Tsuna. Tsuna stared at the opened arms cautiously, and after a few seconds, he slowly reached out for those arms.
Giotto pulled Tsuna into a loving embrace as he slowly stroked his brown hair. Tsuna relaxed into the embrace and inhaled the strong scent on the man's body as he let himself be carried away.
"I said no and that means no!" G yelled firmly. Giotto sighed. All the guardians were in Giotto's room (since he was injured very badly and Alaude had cuffed him to the bed just like what the doctor told him to) discussing something important. Giotto told his guardians that he wasn't joking when he said he wanted to adopt Tsuna, and all his guardians were disagreeing with him… well… almost all.
"Nufufufu~ actually, I don't think that he's really that troublesome like any other kids I've met. He seemed to be a good boy." Daemon told them with his eerie laugh.
"Ahahaha~ I had to agree with Daemon this time. He doesn't look like he's going to give us a lot of trouble. Moreover, he seems to be very close with you, Primo." Asari said cheerfully, making Giotto blushed slightly.
"Yeah! He EXTREMELY needs a family and we can just give him one, right? " Knuckle yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Yare, yare~ this time, unfortunately, I'll have to agree with G. You know how much I hate brats, Giotto…" Everyone looked at him as if he was stupid as Lampo is the biggest brat they had ever known.
"Alaude, what about you?" Giotto asked at the cloud guardian who had been silent the whole time. Alaude looked at Giotto and gave an 'hnn'.
"A grunt isn't the answer, Alaude… please use sentences."
"I don't really care about that kid anyway. As long as he isn't as noisy as a certain sun-guardian and he won't disturb me, I'm okay with it."
Giotto gave a grin in victory while the other guardians looked in shock at Alaude.
"Then it's settle! We're going to adopt him!" Giotto announced happily. Lampo let out a sigh, Asari smiled as he walked out from the room to announce the great news to Tsuna. Alaude already left without the guardians knowing and Knuckle was yelling 'TO THE EXTREME!' happily while Daemon looked rather happy. G let out a deep sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. After a while, he gave a smile. "Fine, you won this time, Giotto. To tell you the truth, I was very excited as well."
A few days later…
"You are going to have your medicine RIGHT. NOW. You hear me, shitty boss?" G angrily said as he showed the medicine in his palm. Giotto, who wore a disgusted expression when he saw the medicine, shook his head and pulled the blanket over his head. "And I'm telling you for the tenth time, I don't need that medicine!"
"Stop acting like a kid, Giotto!"
"Shut up and go away. No matter how many times you try, I'm not taking the medicine, G!"
"Fine! Die for all I care!" G exclaimed angrily as he stomped out from the room, slamming the door hard.
Although G said that he didn't care, in truth, he was incredibly worried about his boss's health. He fisted his hand, almost crushed the moist and sticky pills.
"Tch, shitty boss making us worry to death about him…" he muttered angrily and stared outside the window.
G pulled his eyes away from the window and turned to the room where he was in. The room was colored in blue colored, and it was decorated with children's' toys. A few cartoon posters were pasted on the wall, and there were three large couches. In one of the couches, a brown-haired boy WAS drawing a picture with a yellow crayon.
G quietly sat next to Tsuna and carefully pulled the crayon out of the kid's small fingers. Tsuna looked at him as he trembled in fear.
"What are you drawing?" G softly asked, trying not to scare the poor kid.
The brown haired kid didn't answer and looked away from G. The Storm guardian kind of figured out what Tsuna was drawing as he glanced at the paper: Two stickmen, one with brown hair and one with yellow.
G laughed a bit as he looked at the picture that was drawn by the child, and suddenly he got an idea.
The Italian man gave a (rare) smile to Tsuna. "Tsuna, do you want to help your father?"
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Tsuna's nervous face. The kid was extremely happy that he was finally being accepted by the family as the primo's son.
"I-I can help papa?"
"Yes you can. Wait here." G slipped out of the room and went to the kitchen, where Giotto's medicine were being put at. Lampo, who had heard the little conversation of Tsuna and G, followed the Storm guardian to the kitchen and his eyeballs almost popped out from his sockets when he saw what G was doing.
"O-Oi, what are you doing, G?"
"Handing Tsuna Primo's medicines."
"W-What? B-But you do know about how stubborn Primo is when it comes to taking medicine, right? A-And he nearly made me drink his medicine last time!"
"Shut up, idiot. I do think that my plan will work and if I remember correctly, it was you who forced him to drink the medicine he hated so much last time. No wonder he made you drink it."
"H-Hey, but it was still his fault! And I seriously don't think that kid would affect him."
"Just shut the fuck up before I blow up your brain." G angrily growled, losing his temper as he pulled out his gun. Lampo gulped and ran out from the kitchen.
Tsuna looked very shocked at first when he saw the superfluous amount of medicine. When G gave the tray of medicine and a glass of water to Tsuna, he took it carefully.
"Now, this is Primo's medicine. He had to take them every day but it seems like your papa isn't being a good kid." G said, trying to hide his laughter when he mentioned the Primo as a kid. "Would you take them for him?"
Tsuna beamed. "Okay!" G smiled and led the little boy to Primo's room. However, he stopped in front of the oak door when they reached Primo's room.
"I can't go in with you, but can you do it yourself?"
"I can do it!" Tsuna said cheerfully and open the door as he walked into the room.
There was an immediate response from the patient and it was just as what G imagined. Those dead, sick dull golden orange eyes flashed with colors. It was still dull orange, but they looked alive and happy.
"Papa!"
"Tsuna? What are you doing in here?" Giotto asked, as he straightened up from his bed and looked at the young boy.
"I'm here to give you medicine." Tsuna said, showing Giotto the pills on tray. "Papa, are you sick?"
Giotto felt a pang of hurt when he saw that Tsuna was trying to hold his tears from running out of his eyes. Before Giotto could open his mouth to comfort Tsuna, the boy cut in.
"I want Papa to get well soon. So papa can play with me and won't make uncles worried about you."
"'Uncles' must be referring to my guardians" Giotto thought as he let out a soft chuckle and picked the boy up, letting him sit on his lap. Suddenly, Tsuna's mouth twisted into a big grin as he shoved a fistful of pills into Giotto's mouth. "Here!"
"W-Wait, Tsuna! Ack! One in a time!"Giotto exclaimed but it was too late, as Tsuna has forced him to swallow the pills. The young Vongola boss coughed as one of the pills got stuck in his throat.
"T-Tsuna, gave me the water!"
"Hieee! I'm sorry, papa! I didn't mean to!"
G, who had been eavesdropping in front of his boss door, let out a chuckle as he listened to the conversation.
"Nufufufufu, it seems like our little stormy had finally grown up."
G felt a vein popped on his forehead as he glared at the illusionist who was standing in front of him. "What do you mean by that, bastard?
"Oya, oya~ you know what I mean, G. I never knew that you could be soft to kids. Hmm~ I guess you can be a great father for your future kids~"
G felt his face start to heat up, and pulled out his gun. "FUCK OFF, YOU DAMN MELON-HEAD!"
"Done?" Tsuna asked as he saw Giotto went silent.
Giotto put the empty glass on his nightstand and nodded to him. "Yeah."
"Uhm… papa?" Tsuna called, his voice suddenly grew faint.
"What is it, Tsuna?" Giotto asked as he ruffled his son's hair. The kid jolted and hid his face under his bangs.
Tsuna didn't say anything, but suddenly pressed himself deep against Giotto's chest and hugged him. The force sent Giotto back to the wall, but he was able to contain it. The kid curled into a small ball as he fisted the soft fabric of Giotto's pajamas.
At first, Giotto was very shocked at the sudden action of Tsuna. However, when he had recovered from his shock, he started rubbing Tsuna's back softly and planted a warm kiss on his forehead.
"I'm sorry for making you worried of me, Tsuna…" he whispered. "I'll get well as soon as possible, I promise…"Tsuna nodded in response.
However, a loud gun shoot sound ruined the silence that Tsuna and Giotto are enjoying. Tsuna let out a shock 'HIEEE!' while Giotto twitched his face at the sudden loud sound.
"I shall give them extra works and missions when I get well…"
