Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo
Tsuna sighed, glancing at the grandfather clock that was half-hidden behind the many stacks of paperwork on his desk. He realised he'd been working for six hours already, but if he even dared to take a break, Reborn would be after his ass. His hand throbbed, but he ignored it. He grabbed yet another sheet of paper, scanning it. Oh, the renewal of vows from the allied Families. He scanned through the long list of Families he had to visit. His chocolate brown eyes picked out some familiar names, like the Cavallone and the Giglo Nero. But one particular Family stood out.
The Cervello Family.
Tsuna cringed. He was still freaked out by the pink-haired women that oversaw the Ring and Choice battles. Seriously, how did they hire so many people that looked exactly the same? And he had to visit them? The very thought of standing in the same room with them unnerved him. Well, he still had to do it. Tsuna sighed once again, running a hand through his messy brown locks. Signing on the dotted line, he threw the paper onto the 'Finished' pile.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo
Time skip!
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo
Tsuna nervously fiddled with his tie. He was standing in the Cervello headquarters, which seemed normal enough, other than the hundreds of pink-haired, mask-wearing ladies.
"Juudaime, are you ok? You look pale."Gokudera asked.
"Yeah Tsuna, you look nervous. Are you ok?" Yamamoto grinned.
"Thanks, I'm fine. Just a little nervous, that's all." Tsuna smiled.
"Vongola Decimo, please follow me to the meeting room." One of the Cervello ladies beckoned. Tsuna nodded, putting on his Boss face, a rather useful façade that Reborn hammered into him. Literally. He followed her through the winding passages, hoping that wouldn't get lost. Finally, they reached a room with a golden door handles, undoubtedly the meeting room.
"Please go in, Vongola Decimo. They are waiting for you inside." The Cervello guide bowed, and left.
Tsuna inhaled deeply, nodding to Gokudera and Yamamoto. Pushing open the door, Tsuna stepped inside.
"Ara, Tsu-kun, you're here! Let's start the meeting!" said the jovial smiling face of Sawada Nana, sitting exactly where the head of the Family would sit, surrounded by pink-haired women.
"HIEEEEEE! K-KAA-SAN?" Tsuna screeched, before sinking to the ground in a dead faint.
Gokudera and Yamamoto were understandably in shock. First, it had been years since they've heard Tsuna's infamous 'hieeee'. Second, it's also been years since he fainted. In public, that is. Third, Sawada Nana, Tsuna's mother, one of the kindest and most caring people they've ever met, the last person they ever thought that would be involved with the mafia, was a mafia boss.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
Time Skip!
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
Tsuna coughed discreetly. After he regained consciousness and his composure, he apologised for having such indecent behaviour and sat down, starting the meeting. The meeting went on smoothly, like any other alliance meeting, other than the fact his mother was heading the meeting. Once the meeting ended, alliance renewed, he stood up, and smiled at his mother.
"Don Cervello, may I have a word in private?"
"Of course, Tsu-kun! Everyone, please leave."
"Yes, Boss. Please excuse us." They said simultaneously. The pink-haired women stood up, bowed to Nana and left.
Soon, the only people left in the room were Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto and Nana.
Tsuna dropped his façade, turning to his mother. "Mom, why didn't you tell me you were involved with the mafia?"
Nana blinked innocently at him. "You never asked, Tsu-kun. Did you really think I never noticed when you came back from training all bruised and beat up?"
Tsuna inwardly groaned and face palmed. Of course! No wonder she never questioned him and accepted everyone from the mafia that walked into the house.
"Tsu-kun, I'm really proud of you," Nana said suddenly. "Saving Lambo-kun during the Ring battles like that, even though you had to forfeit the Ring. And worrying about Shoichi-kun so much during Choice. Most of all, I'm proud of what you've done to the mafia, Tsu-kun. You've grown so much since you were fourteen. You never told me a word about the people who bullied you, or about your low grades or lack of friends, Tsu-kun. I know you didn't want me to worry. I'm glad you accepted the position of Decimo, even though you hated fighting. I'm glad you joined the mafia, Tsu-kun, even though I hate that you will always be in danger. I'm sorry I never told you I was involved too. I'm sorry that I've been such a bad mother to you, Tsu-kun."
Tsuna's mouth went dry. So, she'd known everything. From 'Dame-Tsuna' to the mafia. Tsuna had finally heard the words of pride from his mother, the praises he'd longed for, but could never ask for. Tsuna stood up, walking over to his mother who had her head down. Enveloping her in a warm hug, he whispered,
"It's okay, mom. I'm glad you're my mother. I love you."
