When Xanxus arrived at the door, he knocked, and they opened it immediately. He knew that something was wrong, was going, or was happening. When he saw the nervous faces of the trash in front of him, a second alarm sounded in his head. The third alarm didn't take even 30 seconds to sound after the second, and unlike the others, this one was louder. The reason was simple, too simple, and yet he didn't have time to escape... no one had time to escape. The third alarm sounded when he saw a very smiling face of someone who was kissing the cheek of a certain baseball player.
"Nii-chan!" The boy exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear, and before anyone could react, Tsuna had kissed Xanxus' cheeks and hugged him, as well as dragged him into the house.
If it weren't for the fact that Xanxus would re-contra-kill them if they left him alone in this strange and inexplicable situation (at least at that moment and in truth no one wanted to know) the others would have run at maximum speed back to the hotel. It was an incredibly good thing (in their opinion) that they would return to their true home tomorrow, because these last situations... No, they just weren't easy to live with, even if they were incredibly funny and embarrassing (for those who had misfortune). They weren't going to deny it, although they wouldn't say it out loud in front of their boss either, but it was incredibly fun to see what Tsuna had done to him... and he did. The only reason they tried not to laugh was so as not to disturb Xanxus and have him try to kill them, and consequently destroy something and... that Tsuna could react in a bad way.
They envied Lussuria and Levi a little... neither of them was present. Later they would learn how lucky they were to stay to clean up the mess and stand guard... And they should be jealous of Mammon, for he became invisible to the—
"Mon-chan~" The Arcobaleno could only half-scream as he was hugged, kissed on the nose, cradled, and put on the couch in less than 30 seconds.
Apparently invisibility wasn't a good defense against Tsuna...
"Voi-chan~"
"Hey, hey, get out of the way, brat—VOIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
The screams didn't even disturb the walking menace; they just made him laugh and blush a little. At this point, the others just left... and ending in different places in the living room and dining room. Good luck for them, or maybe not so much, when they finished with them Tsuna jumped and bounced next to Xanxus, hugging him as if he were a teddy bear, practically purring, happy. Xanxus just stared at the ceiling and stared at the ceiling. I didn't think that scolding, criticizing, threatening, among others, was going to work... Not after seeing the "sorry" faces of the rest of those present who had been there long before them. That, and it didn't help that the boy—
"Tsu-Tsu-chan..." Yamamoto quickly corrected the sweet, but threatening look (he had repeated what was called Tsu-chan more than 10 times, so...) "Eh... don't you think you should let go... your brother?" No matter what I said, Xanxus was already upset, so it didn't matter if I added fuel to the fire..." to that fire at least.
"Ahhh~" Heavens, they would never leave Tsuna near anything that contained alcohol in the future... "Is Keshi-chan jealous?" Tsuna laughed nicely at the end, somewhat mockingly, looking at him with nothing but amusement.
It was a very good thing that Gokudera was still out of combat, although he would wake up at any moment, and that Byakuran had not yet opened his mouth (he had to thank a certain person for curing him after the indescribable beating he earned). That, and that no one, no one dared to say anything, not even the newcomers, although that did not prevent them from giving him mocking looks, of death, of rage, or an unstable combination of the above. While it was true that Tsuna looked like a teddy bear (a soft, very soft one) walking around giving hugs and kisses and so on... That didn't take away the strangeness, the awkwardness, or the feeling that if I took a false step I would regret it, for various reasons.
"...Yes, I'm jealous, Tsu-chan." Internally Yamamoto wanted to hit someone, Xanxus' death look was enough incentive to get Tsuna off him by any means... Xanxus was never the loving type to begin with.
"Oh~" Sir, what did you just get yourself into? "Bad for you."
"...Wait, what?" Yamamoto wasn't the only one who said this.
"I said bad for you." Tsuna repeated smiling sweetly, ignoring the expression of "Please, please no, no, no..." Xanxus, who was ready to start shooting.
"...I'm soft..." What exactly could I sell to—
"I know, but no." It was definitive, I would never let him touch alcohol..." "Unlike you, I see Nii-chan once in Lent." Tsuna explained simply, as if talking about the weather.
A cold wind passed through everyone present, except Tsuna, who was very happy hugging her teddy bear, and said bear staring at the ceiling, gradually losing what little patience she had left. The saddest thing about the case was that even if Xanxus started a fight, even he doubted that he would be able to get rid of Tsuna, especially if he used his... "magic shield". Byakuran decided to speak, less surprised than the others:
"Aren't you drunk?" That's why I had received a monumental beating from everyone today..." but he had too much logical reasoning to be.
"Not completely." This time, Tsuna's smile became a very dark, half-sadistic one, reminding them of a certain Arcobaleno... "Why, are you worried, Bya-chan?"
"Not as much as you would expect..." Actually, he felt cheated. "From 1 to 10, how drunk—"
"7." Tsuna stuck out his tongue last, returning to the cute and tender and loving Tsuna who had been with them since... for a few hours.
"...Could you drop Xanxus?" Varia's boss was going to kill him, and he was going to dance on his grave, he had a very unhinged face at that moment...
"Nope~" This would end badly... very, very bad. "What is your offer?"
A minute of silence, one in which Tsuna was not affected in the least. Honestly, had they done anything to deserve this? They were walking on fire, metaphorically speaking... Byakuran just whistled innocently. Of all, I hope was not this, really... It was funny, he admitted, it was really funny, and even though he liked this disaster, he didn't like the fact that they tried to assassinate him like five times in a row on the same day and apparently that number would continue to increase if this continued like this... Sir, what had he gotten into by accident? Next time he would check what kind of candy he had in his pockets...
"Eh... is this useful?" Emma shrank from her seat before the homicidal looks of the rest of those present.
"Are you crazy, do you want to give him coffee while semi-drunk?" I mumbled, her stomach ache became much worse just thinking about it and she squirmed in the seat.
"It's just... I don't think it's a good idea to give him more sweets..." And I didn't have the slightest idea that I could want Tsuna being in that state, in case I wasn't sure what I would want this Tsuna in his normal state...
"And who the hell said we would offer him candy?" Irie complained, about to go into a nervous breakdown.
The conversation would have continued at its pace if...
"VOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Squalo threw his sword, stabbed mere millimeters from the Rainkeeper's neck. "Stop the stupidity, heavens..." I point behind them with a finger and a nervous twitch in my eye.
It was at that point that they realized the absence of someone... Xanxus, just staring at them, both relieved and very, very upset, and ready to shoot them to death and he would do it if he knew how Tuna might react... Slowly and steadily, those who didn't know what was happening right behind them, looked back fearing the worst... only to find Tsuna, sitting, looking at them like they were a movie—
"Tsu-chan..." The boy only half looked at him, putting another handful of popcorn in his mouth, as if he were in the cinema. "Where did you get that?"
"It wasn't me!" Byakuran exclaimed, trying not to cry or laugh. Crying, because I didn't want any more assassination attempts and because I didn't know what could happen... with Tsuna. Of course, Tsuna would not get hurt, that did not worry him, not at all... but I had no idea if Tsuna would try to kill them or not... And laugh, because of the strangeness of the situation and the fact that Tsuna considered them a movie...
"Do they really want to know?" Tsuna's smile became very sweet, more than before, but he didn't stop eating.
"Yes—wait, are they caramelized?" Yamamoto felt the world burn, hypothetically speaking.
"Yep~" Great, half-drunk and sugar rush coming soon, what a great combination! "And where you get them from—it's a secret!"
Squalo, Mammon, and Varia in general, went to seek refuge... sadly they couldn't escape, or Xanxus would kill them later, and Xanxus couldn't leave... he had a strong feeling that if he half tried to knock on the door, Tsuna would know, smile very sweetly at him and ask him if he really wanted to leave... For some reason, Xanxus feared what might happen if that scenario happened in reality, and for that reason alone he just stayed on the couch and stole the TV remote...
"Tsu-chan, please give me the—"
"Did you say anything, Keshi-chan?" The question wasn't what made the whole place as icy as an iceberg, not the candy voice, not Tsuna's tender, cute, charming expression... They weren't even the flowers that magically appeared in the background. No, not at all, none of that was what intimidated them to such an extent that they wanted to get under a rock.
"N-Na-Nada, Tsu-chan..." Slowly, Yamamoto took a step back, not wanting to turn to see how the others were. It was definitive, they would not let him touch alcohol again in his life... And to think that this Tsuna was from the future, I didn't even want to imagine what the future would be like, it must have been even worse... or perhaps more childish, because this Tsuna had shown himself to be very calculating when they least expected it.
"That seemed to me." Behind Tsuna, a tall figure, dressed in black, seemed to laugh at them, twirling his oz between his fingers before disappearing along with the flowers.
Sir, had Tsuna made some kind of deal with Death? Perhaps it would be a very good idea not to ask him or mention it to him... Inadvertently to everyone present, Tsuna was laughing like a maniac in his mind, thanking Reborn a thousand times for the small, but incredible intimidation tricks... The poor deluded people had no idea how many things Tsuna could use against them, for better or for worse or for both, it was hard to say. In any case, Tsuna wouldn't let his snack be taken away from him... even if it meant scaring them away from the place, or worse... its limit was to seriously injure them or death.
"...Garbage..." Varia's boss growled, impressed and annoyed. He would never admit it, but that scared him for a few seconds. The future would be very interesting, of that I had no doubt.
"At least I brought something to entertain myself... a prince should not be treated like that..." To sharpen knives he has said, because he did not believe that Tsuna would let blood pass into his house... and frankly he didn't want to make sure.
Mammon was only invisible, with his camera on and recording, he had brought a lot of batteries... If it weren't for the fact that he had become very rich from these occasions, he would complain. Although, honestly... this Tsuna was strange, where would he have learned to use illusions in that way?, Reborn didn't know much about illusions... And heck, although he could believe that Reborn had taught him to use those flowers in the background to make him even more "harmless", he doubted very much that Reborn had even suggested that he use an illusion of death itself with sound included... Reborn was more of the physical type after all. The worst part of the case was that almost no one realized that those illusions (I don't think they even realized that) were a subtle warning... With this in mind, Mammon didn't want to know that he would be a threat according to Tsuna.
"Gao~" Tsuna laughed a little as he felt the little lion above his head.
"Natsu~" Natsu purred louder at the caresses, letting go of something he had in his muzzle in Tsuna's other hand.
Tsuna blinked several times before smiling quite a bit and bouncing towards Byakuran, who could only grimace and ask:
"You plan to scare us all to death, don't you, naughty bunny?" Byakuran professionally ignored all the murderous looks, or at least that's how it seemed, since he attached it just to annoy: "Find your own naughty rabbit." Tsuna was not affected at all by the possessive embrace he earned, it seemed that he did not even notice...
"Gao Gao..." Natsu decided to just ignore him, getting down on his owner's shoulder to get a better look.
"...It can't be..." Tsuna said to himself, his smile changing from sweet and pretty to one that promised pain and suffering. "Who the hell messed with my game?"
A better question would be who messed with their tablet without permission...
"...Where did you get—"
"Matter?" Definitely no more alcohol for Tsuna." "Mom gave it to me a few days ago for getting good grades..." Natsu seemed to laugh at them at this answer.
To tell the truth, Tsuna didn't understand why his mother decided to give him an award for getting good grades, but he wasn't going to complain... I only used it to play games or read when I was bored... He would start rolling down his sleeve there soon, or at least he had planned it until now... It wouldn't be a good idea to save something you really liked on a device that someone accessed and modified as they pleased... Tsuna had the suspicion that it was Reborn, he didn't know why he was surprised, it was always the same... Reborn never respected anyone's privacy, simple as that. Tsuna didn't say anything when he felt his friend's head above his head, to better see what he was seeing...
"Isn't that a computer game...?" Byakuran paused. "Forget the question..." "There was no point in questioning something that Tsuna's friends could easily do, especially if Tsuna used his secret weapon..."
"Yes, it is... I asked Sara to pass it on to me, it's more comfortable." Tsuna smiled sweetly again, but there was something about that smile that was unsettling.
"Sara?" Who the hell was Sara?
"She's a very smart cute girl." Tsuna decided not to pay attention to her family's confusion." "She's everywhere."
From an unknown place, Spanner sighed deeply, the next time Tsuna wanted a favor with a video game, he would make sure that his character's name was Sara exclusively... that, or he would increase the difficulty... or he would do what he did to him with this game. Unfortunately for Spanner, when Tsuna stopped being half-drunk and sugar-high, he would realize who was the funny one to modify his game files...
"...It's a beautiful day outside..." Natsu seemed to laugh, and Tsuna was not far behind. "The birds sing, the flowers bloom..." Emma paled in a great way, attracting the attention of some. Xanxus was only looking for some violence on television. "And children like you..." Natsu and Tsuna's expression changed radically, one that was scary... "They should burn in hell!" The macabre smile of both did not give a good sign...
For who knows how many times so far this day, those present swore to keep alcohol away from Tsuna, even Xanxus joined in this upon hearing:
"Forgive you, really, I'm not stupid~" Natsu meowed, agreeing with Tsuna. "If I forgive you you will kill me..."
"...You could always hit R—"
"And missing such good music, are you crazy, Bya-chan?" Byakuran paused, but Emma beat him:
"That song is one of the best soundtracks in the game and only appears in that battle..."
"You're not helping." Emma only half laughed. "Tsuna is going to kill the—"
"Hey, I wasn't the one who played this way, he'll be my first death." "That smile..." shoot...
"All for the music?" I could understand that I was good, because I was..."
"He will kill me if I forgive him. In his case, I would do the same." Tsuna laughed lightly.
"There's only one thing I don't understand..."
"Hmmm?"
"How the hell have you not died yet?"
"Hyper Intuition Emma-chan~"
Emma could only look at her best friend with nothing less than disappointment, totally forgetting how chilling Tsuna was at that moment.
"That's cheating!" Pouting almost, Emma sat down next to him to watch... He had died many times, many times...
"Call it what you wish, Emma-chan, just keep in mind that..." Tsuna smiled even more, not looking away. "is totally unconscious and has no off button. Equal... Hyper intuition doesn't save me on its own here... this is pure skill..." It's not like your hyper intuition tells you exactly every danger every second in a game. One or the other, just for practice...
"Even so, it is not fair..."
"Do you want to have a bad time, Emma-chan?"
Emma shrank in place, remembering unkindly how chilling Tuna was, who only looked at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Good~" All the curses that Tsuna should be saying out loud, were shouted in his head. The reason why he had that scary expression was simple: he wanted revenge... I was having a hard time after all, no matter how it didn't look like it.
"...Good heavens..." Emma had never gone beyond that part, sir... "Are you sure it wasn't you who decided to bother—"
"No, I was halfway through the game last time..." Without killing anyone, although I wasn't going to deny that some deserved to die in his humble opinion... "Besides, do you really think he wanted to annoy my favorite character so much?, he's too cool for me to want to bother him... but my God, this song is the best."
If Tsuna wanted, with the performance he was giving, he could remove a few of his family from the position of the most fearsome people... Tsuna, on the other hand, even with alcohol in her system, didn't understand how she hadn't died... I was very lucky or very skillful, because I was on the verge of death, but I didn't die, every round... It was a good thing that he had a full inventory of food when he started, or there if he could suffer more than he already did... They rightly said that this character was the strongest and at the same time the weakest of all... for him it had been the coolest, nothing more and nothing less. He could now rethink his entire perspective...
"Your mother...!" Byakuran laughed, what else could he do?, Emma just tried not to be scared anymore... even if the situation was funny. "I want one of those for myself, they're too cool!"
"...Tsu-chan, I don't think that—"
"Shhh, you don't know what you're saying..." Byakuran internally grimaced, but on the outside he didn't change his expression. "Quiet, you look more beautiful, love..." I finish with a kiss on the cheek, a quick one because even in waiting I was receiving damage.
"You don't let me watch TV, mini--"
"Quiet, you look prettier, Onii-chan~"
Squalo couldn't help it, he gave a little hand up to Tsuna, trying not to laugh. Alright, it was more than clear that you shouldn't mess with a half-drunk Tsuna, now... where the hell did he get that vase?
"At least tell me you have something bloody, Tsuna-chan~" He was getting bored, the prince was getting bored, but he didn't want to perish...
"Let me end here, Bel-chan~"
It took another five minutes for Tsuna to win, and then he cried for about two minutes about how he regretted having to kill him to be able to start again, but he didn't regret fighting him despite the bad time he received (the battle music made all the suffering worthwhile). Of course, what was promised is a debt... and now the family was completely disturbed.
"How long have you had Outlast?" Irie screamed, barely being heard amid the laughter of Bell, Xanxus, Byakuran, and strangely Tsuna himself.
"From the moment you buy it." Maybe they couldn't disembowel anyone like Bel-chan wanted, but there was blood, there was suspense, there was terror—it was fun!"
"I don't know what's scarier, the game, or Tsuna playing the game..." Yamamoto said to himself, trying to keep his smile steady, which was not easy because soon it would be his turn to play. Every time someone died, they changed the control...
No one answered him, no one wanted to answer him, at least those who heard him. For better or worse luck, it was at that moment where Gokudera decided to return from the land of the dead, or the land of Morpheus, Tsuna was not quite sure which one and at that moment he did not care... rather I annoy him.
"Juudaime!" Gokudera noticed the presence of certain people, then he noticed the presence of a certain game, and finally he noticed the semi-murderous look of his boss (with flowers in the background and a friendly face). Gokudera wondered if he must be scared of the game, specifically of the madman who was about to cut off the protagonist's fingers, or of Tsuna. That face didn't inspire confidence, even if... "How do you feel?, what did I miss?, why—"
"Ya-chan~" Gokudera shuddered, it was too cute, but the thing that appeared with the flowers wasn't helping him appreciate the cuteness... especially if he was sharpening the oz. "Do you want to play?" It was so sweet and innocent..." But the death behind him, and the awkward and somewhat terrified looks of the others were not helping him to appreciate it.
"Y-Sure, Juudaime..." For some reason he feared for his life, but he couldn't refuse if it made his boss happy... No matter how strange the situation in front of him was.
It was all... not bad... until they realized too late a small mishap, because they had become absorbed in the game... all except Tsuna. Tsuna had already beaten the game on the hardest mode (courtesy of Reborn), so he didn't have much to offer him anymore... When they realized, Tsuna was drinking a bottle of rum straight from the spout, and had already emptied more than half of it. Natsu was asleep, the only sober being who was at peace...
"Where the hell did you get this?!" Tsuna, at first, smiled stupidly at them, and the next second..."
"From the pantry, my loves~" His expression changed to one that said very clearly that he was going to enjoy his suffering and pain and bathe in it, and then dance on their graves with a smile stamped on his face. "Now, if you don't want to have a very bad surprise with me, you will kindly return my bottle..."
About two hours later, Reborn returned to the house... only to be met with a very blushing Tsuna, saying something that... it made Reborn wonder if he should fear for the boy's mental health. While Tsuna was doing that, he was also curled up in the arms of a very nervous Squalo, who tried his best not to look at Tsuna... and it only took Reborn a minute or two to understand why:
"I'm so happy to see you that I could cut you into little pieces and give them to daddy, little fish!" Half of the sentence was said with a silly smile, in the other half his smile had become unstable with a devilish touch.
"...I'm glad to see you too, Dame-Tsuna..." Tsuna laughed silly as he was touched in the face, but he didn't do anything else.
Realizing that the boy was completely drunk, Reborn could only stare at those present, gun in hand, demanding to know what happened... To Reborn's great surprise, no one reacted to his tacit threat... A dark laugh made him blink, while the rest of those present shuddered.
"Do you really think you're scary?" That was practically a purr, though the effect was lost to a small hiccup that followed. "Not me, obviously."
"...Explain to me how the hell you ended up so drunk..." Great, what he lacks—
"Someone seems to be jealous~"
"Give me-Tsuna, behave." Reborn blinked at the sudden change that the boy had in less than a second.
"You have no right to demand anything from me, it's the opposite, Arcobaleno." In the end, Tsuna gave him a mocking smile, and laughed darkly.
Reborn, after a few seconds, understood why everyone seemed to be afraid of Tsuna at that moment, and as a check he got a very heavy and murderous aura with a psychopathic face worthy of a serial killer when he tried to approach and hit him in the head. Once his intentions to hit him vanished, the boy laughed goofily again, as if nothing had happened...
"...I didn't know you were bipolar..." Honestly, I didn't know why I told her that.
"Bipolar?, maybe..." The boy laughed again before hiccupping, now playfully pulling a lock of Squalo's hair. Squalo cursed his luck once again that night... "It's just... it's funny..." The next thing he said, caught everyone's attention: "Do you think it's fun to have a smile stamped on your face all the time and be nice, even when hic you get annoyed on purpose?"
"Obviously not." If it were, everyone would.
"Precisely!" Squalo was quick to grab him by the neck before he kissed the floor, but Tsuna didn't seem to notice. "But everyone thinks that the cute Tsu-chan must be cute, kind, and can never get angry..." The psychopathic smile returned, as did his murderous aura. "and it's for that very reason the cute Tsu-chan is hic dead."
"Oh?" "Interesting, interesting..." "How did Tsu-chan die?"
"Overflow—"
"Simple, he was killed hic by me." Tsuna laughed, laughed, but that laughter only gave pity instead of fear as before...
"So, if I may ask... who are you?" Leon, from the hat he just watched. A drunk person could do anything... but they were also known for saying and admitting things they would never do soberly...
"I?" That smile was no longer scary, rather it was giving pity. "That's not important, it never has been..." If it weren't for how his lips began to tremble, they wouldn't have begun to be frightened by anything other than the sinister.
"Why not?" Reborn was very calm, as if nothing was happening... while inside I had the desire to kill someone.
The others looked at each other, remembering that drunkards tended to be sincere, fearing that he might say... and what consequences his words would have. Xanxus, stopped playing (it was his turn, he couldn't get rid of it) and just looked at Tsuna with a look free of emotion, simply calculating. Internally, Xanxus knew that what was to come would be anything but pretty, and therefore it had to be very important... and perhaps they did not have another opportunity like this to obtain information from him... In addition, after all this suffering (the boy was a sweetheart and at the same time a walking threat since he arrived), they were deserving of some kind of reward... too bad he didn't think that what was to come could be used as mockery or blackmail (he didn't even want to think about how Tsuna would get if they even gave him a clue about what happened, if he didn't remember what was the safest thing to do).
"Why would I hic have it?" The smile had fallen a little, it was no longer happy or intimidating, it was a very sad one. "I'm not Tsunayoshi-sama..." The smile fell completely, and she hid her eyes with her hair. "All you care about hic is that he died..."
"...You're still alive, Dame-Tsuna." A very bad feeling came over Reborn when he heard the "Tsunayoshi-sama", and unfortunately he was not wrong:
"I'm not that hic good guy hic people who never hic get upset!" Reborn was not surprised at all to see the tears, he just emphasized more that nothing that was to come was going to please him. "Tsunayoshi-sama died hic years ago!, he died hic when these hic hands were filled with hic blood!" His whole body was shaking now. "Nobody... nobody..."
"... " Reborn didn't say anything to her, he just walked over. Anything I said would only make things worse...
Unfortunately no one expected the next thing that came out of his lips, it was so surprising that no one immediately reacted to try to at least hug him, whatever they would have imagined they would say was not:
"Nobody... nobody... Nobody wants... Nobody HIC wants HIC a murderer!" She put her hands to her face, to hide her tears. "I'm hic tired of hic being hic alone... Nobody... no one wants me, not after that..." The trembling got worse, and so did the crying. "It's so hic unfair... I'm not hic perfect hic like *hic Tsuna-hicyoshi-hic-sama... but I hic it int-ten-t-to..." He paused only for a brief moment, hiccupping. "It's not hic like... as if hic was-era a... ma-at-ar-los... or to hurt them hic just because..." Small drops of red began to dye with tears in their hands. "No... I don't give... t-tanto mi-edo, or yes?, hic..."
"...Tsunayo—"
"Why?" Reborn was careful and firm enough to force him to let go of his own face, once he managed to get his body to move. Tsuna had torn his own face, not deeply, but you could see the scratches along his cheeks, and the blood mixed with his tears, giving a reddish-pink hue, a tone that almost completely overshadowed the blush on his cheeks from alcohol. Despite the damage, the now almost uncontrollable shaking, his tears, the situation, and his words, what caught Reborn's attention the most were his eyes. "Why hic that I didn't hichic de-se-ean?, I only hic did... all... all... by us-t-te-des hic..."
What his eyes showed were deep despair, a lot of sadness, so much so that Reborn didn't even want to think about how long he had been in this, and confusion and loss, a lot of confusion... just like a child who didn't understand what he had done wrong, who didn't understand why his parents had punished him, when all he had wanted was to have fun or surprise his parents. This Tsuna was not a child, and as far as he could understand... had developed a case of multiple identity, since... referring to "Tsunayoshi-sama" as a benevolent, cute, kind Tsuna, and so on was not normal, much less was it to say that who he was did not matter, would not and had never done so. Did Tsuna maintain an innocent façade so as not to worry anyone, or did he believe that this was how they wanted him, as a kind of condition, for years? just for murder, I wouldn't know the whole story, but... Tsuna was a mafia boss, they were in the mafia, killing was a practice as common as smoking a cigarette in this world. So... how could he end up in this just for murder?, it was a matter of time, that was known...
The worst, in his opinion, was what he implied between the lines: "unwanted", if that was if... Tsuna, no matter where I looked at it or from what angle, leaned a lot on her family, many things she only did for her family... that out of nowhere, by a simple event, she did not want it, or acted in such a way that Tsuna believed that, she must have destroyed him inside... and he explained why this Tsuna acted in this way, one happy moment, playing with them and looking for affection, and the other all depressed... Of one thing I was completely sure: if Tsuna pretended to be a cute and kind boy all the time, instead of showing anger in all his splendor, hatred and other emotions, as well as personal tastes and things (such as sadism that he had already seen several times). It was everyone's fault that he didn't realize it, and that he didn't properly express that he shouldn't feel obligated to live in a performance all the time (only at major events for obvious reasons). This case was more complex than I had expected... at what point had everything failed, in the "event" that Tsuna mentioned, or before?
"I'll take the mini-trash to your room—"
"Hold on." Reborn used his flames to heal his wounds, and then wiped the blood from his face and hands. If Tsuna woke up without remembering anything, and saw the blood and wounds, he could get an idea of what had happened, and he could close himself with them. "Ready, you can take—"
"At last~" Slowly, everyone but Reborn turned their faces to see the newcomer, who didn't even have the decency to knock on the door. "You have no idea how long—Crash!
"Dame-Dino..."
Dino, rubbing his head from the blow and giving a little complaint, got up from the ground and the poor wall. It was then that he realized that things were not right... his first clue was how tense and depressing the place was, his second clue was seeing Tsuna fast asleep and with a blush on his cheeks in Xanxus' arms, and his third clue was Reborn pointing a submachine gun at him, Byakuran with a throbbing vein, Emma getting into battle pose, Yamamoto drawing his sword in conjunction with Squalo, Gokudera preparing his fists, Bel pulling out his knives with a sadistic smile... Irie just took Tsuna in her arms, knowing that Xanxus would join immediately. Once I put Tsuna on his bed, I put on some anti-sound headphones... and he put on some himself, he just hoped they weren't going to be so rough with poor Dino...
Elsewhere...
"...May this be over soon, may this be over soon..." Sadly, Levi's pleas were not heard:
"Hello, beautiful~, what are you doing around here alone?, come, let me take you to the dance floor, we will have a good time, you and me, primor~"
Lussuria had dragged him to a party of one of his friends, but he "forgot" to tell him that it was a party for gay men only. And the worst thing was that he couldn't leave without Lussuria, or he would have to answer Xanxus what had happened to... The point is, I didn't want to get in trouble, and it wasn't like I could get out just like that... Lussuaria was a dead man when this was over.
"...Dai-chan has been uncontrollable lately, very worried with—oh, good morning, Tsu—"
"Hey... I'm sorry to interrupt you, Gokudera-kun..." The boy scratched his cheek, a little nervous. "But... how did I end up here, and why do you look so... wrinkled?, it looks like you're 50 years old... no offense!"
Gokudera blinked several times, dropping the forced smile, and stopped right in front of his boss. Tsuna blushed like a tomato as he was searched everywhere, but he was so confused that...
"...Do you feel good, don't you feel like verbally insulting us again?"
"I hope not..." Yamamoto grimaced, what a greeting.
"What happened to you?" Yamamoto was quick to react, stopping him from getting up, much to Tsuna's confusion. "You see... exhausted..." And very depressed, but I wasn't going to tell him that...
"Don't worry about me, I haven't slept very well lately..." Who could with so much guilt eat away at him? "Ma Ma, don't evade our questions."
"Hey... it doesn't hurt at all..." Actually, I didn't feel anything. "And why would I want to insult them?, I mean... Eto... I couldn't insult them even if I wanted to, they're my best friends, and even so..." Tsuna didn't complete the sentence, very embarrassed and nervous.
"Name, age..." Faced with the boy's confusion, I explain: "I know it sounds tedious, but we need you to give us your basic data, you can do it, right?"
"Eto..." He shrank where he was, noticing the pile of cables, and filling himself with fear for them. "Tsunayoshi Sawada... I am 14 years old, I will be 15 years old soon, a student of Namimori, my mother is Nana Sawada, and my father is Iemitsu Sawada, my grandfather is Timoteo Vongola, better known as Nono... what else...?"
"...What's the last thing you remember... Tsunayoshi?"
"Huh, only Tsuna is fine..." Why were they looking at him like this? "Well... The last thing I remember is... uhg... get an F in math, again... Reborn is going to kill me for that..." Just thinking about it made me tremble. "I think I fell asleep in class..." but I don't remember well... I'm sorry?, it wasn't my intention to bother you...
"Sorry, Tsuna..." The idea was not to intimidate him... they had forgotten how this Tuna used to be, scared, shy... They were used to seeing him act confident, even if he was dying of nerves, and unless he was exhausted, he did not easily show fear. Although the shy thing was the same... if they were to see.
"Don't get upset, but..." Gokudera took a deep breath, and patted his head, relaxing him a little. "Boss, you're 24 years old, you've been the Tenth Vongola since—"
"HIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
