Disclaimer: I do not own KHR. Do you even need to ask?

Since he was a child, Sawada Tsunayoshi knew he didn't want to be alone.

He hated the feeling. It was so quiet, no one paid any attention to him. He felt so lonely, the isolation didn't do him any good.

Maybe if he was another child, he won't think so. If he was Hibari Kyouya, he wouldn't even notice it. Hibari Kyouya was known for his independent status. He didn't need anybody, he only needed Namimori. He had a goal, and if the goal made him alone, no problem.

But he wasn't Hibari-san. He didn't want solitude.

Because of that, he can't be the best. The best was a place, a position where he would be respected, but without anybody beside him. He won't be included, because he was on another standing level. The same worked for being the strongest.

Normal, it was a good idea at first. The problem was he didn't have any idea how to act normal. It was easier to be unique, because he won't need to have any standard.

So he strived to be the worst. Well, maybe not the worst, but worse than anybody else. There, he would be involved with everybody else. Sure they called him Dame-Tsuna, they laughed at him, they used him, but he was among them. It was the most important point.

But-

"Juudaime!" The voice of his right hand man made him turned around, taking the scene of his family.

"Juudaime! Are you alright? We have been searching for you!" Gokudera Hayato took in his boss' appearance, concern visible on his face.

"Baka-Tsuna! Where are my grape candies?" Lambo exclaimed from Gokudera's back head.

"You cow! Juudaime doesn't need to give you anything! And when did you get to my head?"

"Maa, maa, Hayato, it's no big deal." Yamamoto flashed his usual grin and tried to pry Lambo from Gokudera.

"Dame-Tsuna, don't disappear like that. A great boss always tells his guardians where he goes off to."

"I hate crowd. I'll bite you to death."

But if being the strongest mean he can protect his precious Family…

Tsuna smiled softly.

…he wouldn't have it any other way.
