Chapters of A Great Man in the Making

Lal has always respected Iemitsu. Her respect slowly dwindles as she grows closer to Tsuna and before long, she despises him. AU-ish. Parental!Lal

-

Five, A Great Beginning.

At the young age of five, Sawada Tsunayoshi could be counted as one if the world's most adorable. With his fluffy, gravity-defying hair that is a shade of caramel that complements his fair skin and wide eyes of the same shade. He has the ability to woo anyone's heart with his utter moe-ness.

All except one Lal Mirch.

"Meet the cutest little boy the world has ever seen, Lal!", the blond she calls her boss holds the small bundle of moe in his arms, bouncing in excitement and would've shoved the boy in her face if she weren't such a kickass elite. His wife, Nana stands slightly behind the man and giggles at his antics.

"This is Tsu-kun! Say hello!", the man cheers as he brings the boy towards the woman at great speed. The poor boy is green in the face by the time the other has stopped spinning him around.

"H-hel-ah!", his bottom lips trembles as the edges of his lips are anchored down. Oh, he bit his tongue.

Lal Mirch observes her boss' kid as his bottom lip continues to tremble and tears start welling up at the corners of his wide eyes. However, to her relief, he doesn't start bawling like most children do.

"You okay there, kid?", the military-oriented woman questions the little boy, her tone somewhat harsh yet soft. He nods valiantly, his lips pursed in efforts to keep his tears in. Surprise is evident on the boy's face as she pats hid wild hair.

"You're not as bad as I thought you'd be, Tsunayoshi."

The young brunet peers up at the woman with long hair of an odd shade of blue. Is it possible to have blue hair like hers? He reaches out towards her, tiny, grabby fingers reaching out towards her. Her eyes are different too! They're like Mama's pretty pink earrings she keeps in her special box!

With a soft sigh, Lal plucks him out of Iemitsu's arms and cradles the rather small boy in her arms, bouncing the boy lightly. This earns her some delightful giggles from the boy.

"I would never have thought THE Lal Mirch could handle little kids, hahaha!", Iemitsu grins cheekily at the woman. "My Tsu-kun has got you wrapped around his little finger, I bet!"

"Mhmm, think whatever you want. ", Lal rests her right hand on her hip, Tsuna sitting on said arm with her left hand on his body for support. The boy seems to be having fun with her long hair.

"Well, Nana and I will get going. Have fun with Lal, Tsu-kun!", the blond grins at his petite son and ruffles his unruly hair. "Mama and I will be home later, ne? You're the man of the house for tonight!"

"U-un!", Tsuna stutters, nodding vigorously at the thought of being man of the house for one night.

With that said, Lal and Tsuna are left in the house while Nana and Iemitsu drive away for their anniversary dinner. Tsuna is still having fun twisting and playing with the woman's hair.

"Now, what do you want for dinner?"

This is all for now. I kinda have the next chapter coming up. Okay, this will be a sort of Parental!Lal and Tsuna story, no romance the two, hahaha :D Each chapter will increase their ages by a year. I hope you enjoyed this!
