Being Alone is Lonely!

'Ding Dong…'

The school bell rang. The students were still walking while talking to each other. But for some reason, the students seem to walk away from a boy, forming a big circle around him. Maybe they are avoiding him? Wait, scratch that. They are avoiding him.

They were whispering while looking at the brunet. The boy had spiky brown hair, chocolate brown eyes that seem to have lost its emotion. Empty dark brown. He doesn't seem to care about his surrounding, continue walking towards the school.

'Mm… How am I alone? Oh yes, ever since then…'

[Flashback]

"Waaaaa~" The baby cried loudly and continuously in a pair of warm arms, while the owner of the arms tried to calm the baby down.

She seems to be the mother as tears drip down from her teary eyes. She put the baby near her while smiling. "Welcome to the world, Tsu-kun…"

-Time skip-

"Tsu-kun… Tsuna…Tsunayoshi. Good morning! Breakfast is ready." Nana, Tsuna's mother, shook her 5 years old son awake.

He stirred awake, rubbing his eyes as he set up onto the bed. "What's for breakfast?"

Nana giggled, "What do you think it is? ~"

Tsuna immediately reply with glee, "Omulete rice!"

Nana was shocked; "Eh?" she blinked before announcing. "You are right!"

"Wai~" Tsuna jumped into his mother's arms.

-Time skip by a few minutes-

"Would you like more coffee, dear?" Nana asked her husband, Iemitsu.

"Sure, that sounds good."

Tsuna blinked, "Mama, Papa said he'd rather have tea."

Both of them looked at Tsuna. "Eh?"

Nana looked at Iemitsu, "Is that true, dear?"

"Well…" Iemitsu tried laughing it off before saying, "I don't know how you knew that, Tsuna."

Tsuna globed down his food while tilting his head in confusion.

-Time skip-

"Jan-ken-poi!" Tsuna won.

"I win! You are it, Mokashi-san!" Tsuna jumped happily.

The said boy pouted. "It's always us! No fair, Tsuna!"

Tsuna tilted his head, "It's sure fair! It's scissors-paper-rock after all. "

The group asked, "How do you even win so easily. No fair~"

Tsuna giggled. "It's easy. You're all saying what you are going to shoot."

"Eh?"

-Time skip-

"Papa, Mama. Look, look! Oji-sama bought this for me!" Tsuna jumped around trying to draw his parents' attention.

They looked up at Tsuna. Nana looked at him before taking photos of Tsuna.

"It's very cute, Tsu-kun."

"Yeah, you have sure grown, Tsuna."

"Mou! Mama, I am not a girl! Papa, don't call me 'shorty'!" Tsuna pouted while frowning.

"Huh?"

-Time skip-

"Tsu-kun is a compulsive liar?" Nana was shocked. Her son is never like that.

"Y-yes…You see, everything he says is untrue. Some of his classmates have been hurt, but we've received numerous complaints from parents."

-Time skip again-

"I'll let you take care of that, I'm going to Italy soon to my boss." Iemitsu didn't even blink an eye to what he was saying.

"But, dear…" Nana paused.

"Raising a child is the mother's job, isn't it?" Iemitsu took off his jacket, giving it to Nana. "I've got an early start tomorrow. I'm going to bed."

-Time skip-

"Hmm… What could this be…" The doctor tried to figure out what is wrong with Tsuna.

Nanas have been bringing Tsuna to every hospital for check-up, yet none of them knows anything.

"Your daughter is perfectly normal." One doctor said.

"There's nothing I can do…" Another doctor shook his head.

Frustrated, Nana tried every single place that can cure her son.

-Time skip-

"Wait a minute!" Nana shouted as she was pushed out of the hospital.

"Please, just leave!" The nurse pushed her out forcefully.

Finally, Tsuna spoke, looking very sad and confused. "Mama, am I sick?"

Nana didn't say anything but just stared at him as if very afraid of him.

Tsuna started to cry, "No one will play with me. They say I'm a creepy person who only says weird things."

Nana tried to calm him down but to no avail. Then her phone rang.

With eyebrows frowned heavily, she answered the phone. "Dear, when are you coming home?! We need to talk about Tsuna!"

"I told you that I'll let you take care of Tsuna. Also, I am going to be late, so I wouldn't make it for dinner." With that, Iemitsu hang off.

"Dear? Dear!"

-Time skip-

"Something evil has possessed my son! Please, do something to exorcise it!" She was losing her mind. Her son. Her husband. Everything.

"I-I can't help you. I am but a simple priest."

-Time skip-

"Uh… why… Why only my son?" She poured the rest of the beer into her cup. She's breaking down, she can't do anything. Maybe she should…

Her thought was interrupted by her son calling for her. She looked at her son.

"Papa will come home tomorrow." Tsuna tried to comfort his mother.

Then, Nana finally released her anger. "Shut up! Whose fault do you think this is?!" She threw her cup filled with beer, at Tsuna.

Tsuna flinched at the breaking of the cup just beside him, missing him by a bit.

Nana realized what she has done. Looking at Tsuna, who was at the edge of crying, she turned around not facing Tsuna but the opposite.

Tsuna hugged his teddy bear while shaking in fear.

-Time skip-

"Oji-sama. Lately, Mama drinks a lot, and gets mad so easily. And Papa won't even come home. Mama, Papa and my friends… Do they all hate Tsu-kun?" Tsuna sat on his grandpa's lap.

"Silly boy. You know that is not true." He pats Tsuna's head in comfort. Only him, only he's the one that doesn't think of Tsuna, the way the others said about him.

-Time skip-

Iemitsu is finally home. They were sitting at the sofas. Tsuna ran to him, hugging him. He giggled.

"You'll stay with us all day, right?"

Iemitsu smiled but it was fake, "I'm sorry, Tsuna. I have to go this evening."

"Eh?"

"I've got something to do as well." Nana sent her apology smile. Fake…

Tsuna blurred out all his words. "Papa, you're going to a hotel with Oregano-san?"

"W-wha-" Iemitsu stuttered.

"And Mama, you are going to dinner with Yoshino-san! No fair! I'm going too!"

Nana gasped. She threw down her magazine and stood up. Glaring at Iemitsu. "What is she talking about, dear?!"

"I-I don't know anyone by that name!" Iemitsu stood up too, counter-attacking back to Nana. "And what about you?! Who is that man?!"

Nana faked her reason. "Y-you have to believe me, dear! Tsunayoshi is just saying whatever he wants and…" She trailed off, glaring at Tsuna with hateful eyes.

Iemitsu did the same. "Again? You are doing it again?!"

Nana commented, "That's cruel, Tsunayoshi. How much do you have to ruin our lives before you are satisfied?!"

Tsuna stared at them fearfully, "Mama… Papa…"

-Time skip-

"Wait, Nana! Not just him, but you, too? What will you do about Tsunayoshi-kun?" Timoteo, Tsuna's grandpa, asked, as he hugged Tsuna close to him.

Tsuna was crying, he didn't understand… Understand… Why is this happening? Is it because of him? Maybe it's because of him. Mama is glaring at him with hateful eyes. It hurts…

"Otou-sama, I don't care about that boy anymore!" Nana said with no emotions in her eyes.

"What on earth are you saying?!" Timoteo scolded.

Tsuna let go off Timoteo's hand before running towards Nana. "Mama, wait! I'll never do anything to make you mad again! I'll even do the cooking and cleaning! So Mama, please don't go!"

Nana just violently pushed Tsuna away onto the floor, shocking Tsuna and Timoteo.

Timoteo ran to Tsuna and help him before shouting at Nana. "What have you done?!"

Nana glared at Tsuna, and said the sentence that Tsuna didn't want to hear.

"I should never have given birth to you." Tsuna's eyes widened.

Nana walked out of the house without any more words.

"Wait, Nana!" Timoteo shouted.

"…rry. I'm sorry… I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" Tsuna looked down to the floor with eyes of broken emotions. Blank.

-End of Flashback-

-Time skip-

"Finally, we're getting rid of this troublemaker." The principal thought as Tsuna bowed at him, taking his leave.

-Time skip-

"I'm Tsunayoshi. Nice to meet you all." Tsuna introduced himself through his emotionless voice before walking toward the empty seat.

"H-hey, Tsunayoshi…" The teacher trailed off as the students started to whisper among themselves.

'This one's going to be a pain.' The teacher sighed.

Tsuna stopped in his track while saying "Sorry for being a pain."

'What was that? What a freak."

'Poor Takeshi-sama, having to sit next to him. I would sit with Takeshi-sama! Kyaaa~'

…was the students' thinking…

'It's the same no matter where I go… If only everyone would ignore me, like he is. I'd satisfied…' He thought as he looked at the one who he is going to sit with…
