"Ma Ma, how did you wake up, Tsuna?" To tell you the truth... I ended up just going home early in the morning to say hello to his father, eat something, take a bath, get ready and go out again... Thank goodness for the phones, or I would have been in trouble...
"Good morning, Yamamoto." Tsuna greeted him with a smile, while the rest greeted him with a wave of their hands. They had seen each other in the morning, so... "With a headache, but well, how about you?"
"Everything is fine." It was refreshing to see him act normal. "Just a headache, my father never took hangovers very well, so..." Honestly, that was just an excuse. After he broke down in tears last night, Yamamoto couldn't help but worry more than he already was... actually, all of them.
"Yes, just that, I already took some painkillers so no problem—"
"And he only had breakfast coffee." Emma said with a half-mocking, half-amused smile... Sadly, not even he expected Gokudera and Yamamoto's reaction.
"Did you skip breakfast?" "And do I take medicine like this?"
"I'm sorry, Juudaime, don't notice that!" Oh, of course, of course... The unnecessary apologies could not be missing!
"I'm not hungry, really." Tsuna replied with almost irritation, giving them an almost annoyed face.
"Taking medicine without anything in your stomach is bad, Tsuna." Although it also depended on the type of medicine. "Come, I'll buy you breakfast, I know a nearby store that serves—"
"I'm not hungry, Yamamoto." "I didn't think it was."
"You have to eat something, Tsuna regretted." If it was dinner or lunch, they could let it go, but not breakfast, not with painkillers in their system, and much less with a hangover. "Guys, I'll take it, see you in a while," they greet the girls. "And before Tsuna could refuse him again, he pulled him in the direction of the tent he had mentioned."
"Yamamoto!" "Good heavens... I'm not hungry!"
"Tsuna, you have to eat something, you have a hangover, and you have taken medicine, and the only thing you have drunk was a coffee..." It was not healthy, and the last thing she wanted was for her to have low blood pressure, a fainting, or something similar... "It may be something small, but you have to eat something..." It was strange to her that she was not hungry; the only thing he ate the day before was mostly sweets... Oh wait, maybe that was the problem. "Since you're not going to decide on something, I'll decide for you..."
"Great..." What's missing, I couldn't even choose what I was going to eat.
"Ma Ma, don't get embarrassed, you'll like it, I assure you." "If Tsuna still had all that sugar in his system..." Instead of hunger, what I would have was a lot of energy... even if he didn't show it.
"That's it... a sandwich?" Tsuna didn't know whether to laugh, get upset, or just be silent.
"Try it, it's not as common as it seems." Tsuna was going to kill him later...
A few minutes later, Tsuna had to agree with him on something: it was not something he had expected. A sweet, smooth, and basically easy to digest taste... It had few things, the vast majority were only vegetables, the difference was because of the sauce. You could tell him it was a natural sauce... they could tell you that it was a common sauce... but I had never tried it in a sandwich... not in this type of sandwich, at least. On the other hand...
"Please don't kill me?" It had taken a while, a good while for me to finish it, I really wasn't hungry...
"Only you can think of giving me a tuna sandwich..." With sweet onion sauce... in the morning... "tuna..." So early in the day... "Is it your idea to annoy me or play a joke on me?" The worst thing was that this was not the first time... nor would it be the last... "Don't do it again so early... tuna is good and everything, but..." Did no one have an idea how much they had bothered him with that, with fish, tuna and prickly pears?
"Ma Ma, I just thought you'd like it..." And it was something different... "I'm sorry?" "I knew I was tempting his luck by doing something like this, though... at a time like this."
"Sure, of course..." The voice was somewhat sarcastic, but Tsuna did not try to kill Yamamoto; he only stole the tea he had left. Rather, in Yamamoto's view, nothing serious happened.
The way to the mall was quite pleasant, although the one who joked and talked the most was Yamamoto, and Tsuna only made him a comment or two from time to time. The truth is, Tsuna really wasn't very interested in whatever his friend was saying to him, but it didn't bother him... I was more than used to it. Nothing happened that caught their attention during the journey to the mall, so they arrived without any problems or inconveniences.
"Tsuna-san!" "Someone remember me because the girls want to kill me with hugs at this time..."
"Boo... good morning..." He gave a very bad face to Yamamoto for daring to laugh instead of helping him lift or try to hold him so as not to end up on the ground, and then to Emma, who was a little surprised and trying not to laugh, for not trying to stop them from throwing themselves on him.
Sadly, Tsuna had no idea what was causing so much emotion... De Haru understood, the girl was still in love with him, but she would soon begin to change that. From Kyoko, she was generally quiet, so... I didn't understand, especially because, apparently, they had planned this because it was too synchronized not to have done it. And of course, as a good friend, he wasn't going to ask or complain... although that didn't mean that he didn't want to do just that.
"Ma Ma, nice to see you..." Even so, Yamamoto didn't help anyone get up, nor was he aware of that.
"And Gokudera-kun?" "Because I have the impression that he is in a magazine store about aliens...?"
His answer was a finger, a finger pointing toward a magazine store about supernatural and uncommon things... and of course, Gokudera could be seen without any problem in the alien section. Tsuna didn't understand the reason, the cause, or simply the reason for Gokudera's obsession with the aliens, but frankly that didn't bother him. The reason? Taking into account all the strange things, out of logic, out of the ordinary, and so on... An obsession with Aliens was normal, compared to the standards of his daily life. If anything, that obsession gave him some relief because Gokudera had something else to do and sometimes it was something much more important than him (he completely ignored it when he was reading about those things, and if he was watching something... he wasn't going to remember his existence until the next day, apologizing for his behavior...), and most importantly: it was an activity that didn't bring much chaos and destruction, unless he got too excited... What could he say, nothing was perfect after all.
"I'll take care of it..." No, he wasn't cruel; I wasn't going to get him out of there...
Without thinking much, Tsuna entered the store, and walked to Gokudera's side, putting his hands in his pockets. With a small amused smile, Tsuna maneuvered a little, until he could see what Gokudera was reading. In situations like that, Tsuna would chafe at how small he was compared to others... he wasn't going to be very tall, he knew it; he wasn't going to be taller than any of the guys... Although he couldn't complain, he would be tall, he would have an acceptable height. It didn't help that, if he wasn't mistaken, he was the youngest at the time, not counting Lambo, among the guardians. Gokudera was so into his own business that he didn't feel Tsuna... he even turned around to return the magazine to its respective place and move on to the other.
The boys and girls stared at them both for at least 10 minutes, laughing a little and joking with each other when they saw Gokudera in his own world and Tsuna making a gesture or two with his face, and looking at them from time to time and sticking out his tongue playfully. The jokes stopped when they saw that Gokudera turned around and almost knocked Tuna down, who had apparently expected it because instead of looking surprised or annoyed, he just disarmed in laughter,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Gokudera-kun..." "It's just too funny to see that surprised face... You didn't expect this, did you?" "You were so involved in that that it seemed cruel to interrupt you..." "That was a half-lie; Tsuna wasn't going to tell him that it was just too much fun to do that to him." "I just wanted to tell you that the boys and I will go to other stores, we'll probably start with the shoes..." He was going to run away, that was for sure. "See you at lunchtime, at the food fair, okay?, no rush, do what you want." Then I add jokingly: "It's not that you will miss much; you know how girls and clothes are..." I leave him there, sticking out my tongue playfully and leaving the premises.
Tsuna didn't need to turn around; he didn't need to see, to know that Gokudera must be open-mouthed and with an expression that said something like, "Okay... wait, what?" and I couldn't blame him for it. Now I just hoped that he would get the suggestion... or he would suffer, and in the process make his escape more complicated. In addition, the place had quite a few magazines on that subject, so if he stayed, he wouldn't leave there for at least an hour, guaranteed. For that reason alone the mansion had an entire area with magazines of that kind, and it was updated every week... the paperwork was downloaded, to be honest. Or at least it was... Before the incident, I didn't know if it was still... It didn't make much sense if I did, like other things, many other things really, if they only went for periods of time in long periods of time...
"Well, where do we go first?" He asked kindly once he was back in the group; it was a bit surprising that they waited for him for so long...
Unfortunately, Tsuna was not wrong; the first stop was nothing more and nothing less than shoes. Honestly, Tsuna lasted there long enough for Emma and Yamamoto to get into deep conversation about food and sports, although Yamamoto was the one doing most of the talking. While the two of them were talking in peace, the girls were trying on their shoes, and looking and curious about others... and talking to each other and asking the boys one thing or another about how they looked. With a bit of amusement, Tsuna quietly went to talk to the manager, so that no one would have to pay for anything, only him, before leaving. It was easy; no one was very aware of him at that time, distracted by his things... although at any time, after at least 30 minutes, they would notice his absence.
Even if they had been aware of him, he would have thrown out some excuse to get lost, such as needing to go to the bathroom, for example. It wouldn't be the first or last time he ran away from someone while they were shopping. He was already going to do his own thing... He was uncomfortable being accompanied, especially when they began to ask him questions. I knew I shouldn't feel that way, or run away, but just... it didn't go well with him. Accompanying used to be quite boring, especially when it was about clothes and shoes. Being accompanied was uncomfortable... even though there wasn't really a reason for it. He had made up a thousand and one excuses not to be accompanied, and when that didn't work he ended up buying anything but what he wanted.
He was silly, he admitted it without shame... and it shouldn't be like that, especially if there wasn't a special reason. He supposed it was pity, shame... the only problem with that was that there was no reason to feel that way, especially with his family, but it had always been like that. Maybe it was a lack of trust, but he doubted it... at this time he trusted them, didn't he?, although maybe... with everything but his mangas and his anime and his room—well, not everything. With Reborn and some, he wouldn't dare... because, he wasn't going to lie, sometimes his comments and mockery hurt, even though most of the time it wasn't his intention. Even if that didn't happen, in a way he didn't want to give them any more things to use against him... Reborn did that a few times with things that he had seen that he was fond of for the purpose of motivating him...
Maybe it was that he was embarrassing? It could be, I couldn't say. It wasn't that he hid his things just because, but he didn't show them to the boys for no reason either. In the first place, they weren't so into things like mangas or video games, so it didn't make much sense, sometimes they played with him... but that's it. He had never been asked for any of his mangas, and frankly he wasn't sure what answer he would give if they did; he would just think about all the things that could happen to his sleeves... In case his things were sometimes broken or disappeared even from existence by pure accident thanks to the chaos they used to cause... Maybe he was just afraid that they could tell him or think of him, he wouldn't know how to say either. In the past, or in this time, he would say yes, that he was afraid of that... but now he really didn't care. After all, what could be worse than being feared and hated? What could be worse than being told that he was a murderer, a heartless monster?
"...I have to avoid the candy stalls..." He muttered to himself, remembering that the girls loved... especially cakes. Once they took him every week to a bakery and made him pay for three months... supposedly for reasons that he had never been invited... Personally, he believed that they simply didn't have the money, or they wanted someone to pay for them. "That's it..."
He wiped away his tears as best he could, coming out of hiding. He couldn't believe that he had been chased here; it was far from the school... He tried to smile; he was safe now, even if he had no idea where he was exactly. He could always ask a guard or a salesman or someone else where the entrance was... then from there he could go home... Besides, it wasn't that late, so he didn't have to rush or get nervous... He could always say that he had been arrested again, if he was too late... and he would earn a scolding and maybe they would take away his dessert and take away his TV for a few days, and make him make up another story about what caused the arrest this time, but nothing more.
"Hey?" He turned his head to the side, curious and surprised, stopping crying without realizing it. "A Pikachu...?" He wondered, getting closer.
Yes, it was a cardboard Pikachu. It reminded him of a piñata, but it wasn't one; it wasn't made of cardboard, but plastic apparently... and it was stuck to the floor. He looked around, wondering what a Pikachu was doing there, on the ground... He smiled a little embarrassed, seeing that the Pikachu had a sign in his hands, which said the name of the store that was right behind him, the door next to him. It was a small store, simple, striking, but simple. With more curiosity than anything else, he walked in shyly... being surprised to see so many toys and video games...
"Good afternoon, boy."
Unable to help himself, he jumped and turned around, a little scared. "Hey, calm down, I'm not scary, am I?"
Tsuna blinked twice. No, he wasn't scary—he looked rather funny.
"Yes, yes, laugh all you want..." The man's complaint was half-hearted; he was smiling. "Go ahead, come in. Do you want something to drink? I was about to make some hot chocolate... Hehehe, I see you like chocolate. Give me just a moment." The man left with an amused smile.
Unable to help himself, Tsuna smiled heartily, trying not to laugh. How could he not? The man was disguised as Agumon, but not just any Agumon—the Agumon in a student suit. The place had many things: Pokémon dolls, Digimon dolls, Dragon Ball dolls... there was even a magical cat with a witch's hat! His wide smile only grew.
"Hello, I like fish!"
This time, Tsuna laughed heartily. Cats loved fish, everyone knew that, unless they were vegetarians... were there vegetarian cats?
He was a hairy cat, black as the night, and very soft. Its eyes were green, and its outfit was blue and white. Black cats were associated with witches and bad luck, weren't they? But how could something so nice give bad luck just because it was black? And the tail... it was so hairy! What series or game was it from? He wanted to know.
"Woah, woah..."
Someone behind him said, causing him to almost throw the doll into the air. "You like it, huh?" The man laughed a little, and before Tsuna knew it, his hair was being ruffled. "Do you want to give him a name? A friend of mine designed him, but he hasn't given him a name or decided what skills he'll have. He'll be a familiar in a wizard game he's making..." He handed Tsuna the cup of hot chocolate and guided him to a sofa. "Would you help him? I don't know exactly how to help him, but you must have a great imagination..." This was a half-joke, but Tsuna didn't catch it.
"Can I name it?" he asked timidly, moving a paw.
"Sure, go ahead." And again, he ruffled his hair, but this time Tsuna could only smile.
"Kuro-chan," he said with a smile, waiting for approval. The man just laughed and smiled as well.
"Kuro-chan it is. Have some of your chocolate." And what kind of magic will he use?
"Uh..." Good question... Oh. "Water or ice, or both," he answered simply, laughing a little.
"Oh, where did you get that?" The man laughed a little more as he was lifted up and placed on the man's lap.
"He is dressed in blue." It was a simple answer. He played with the tail, then paused and had some chocolate. It was quite sweet, and the marshmallows were tasty. "He will be a curator," he sentenced without thinking much. "And it will have defensive and support skills, such as barriers and buffs..." He touched the cat's ear. "A good family member... a protector... an assistant..." He looked up when he heard the door open... and then he laughed.
"Ugh... you can't imagine the queue I had to make for this..." Piyomon complained... it was cute.
"Welcome back, Azuna." The man greeted, laughing a little, watching as the girl left a large bag on the table.
"Yes, yes... what are you laughing at?" She complained, somewhat annoyed, but her expression changed almost immediately. "Who's cute? Let's see, let me heal you..."
"I don't know." Agumon replied simply, still smiling. "I didn't ask him."
"I see..." She looked at the chocolate, and seemed to come to some conclusion. "Let's see, kid, stay still, this may hurt a little..." And it hurt, but they were only scrapes from the falls he had before... "Ready, you're a good patient..." She ruffled his hair too, before tickling him, making him laugh. "I'm Azuna, and he's my father, Ryo Akimura, a pleasure."
"Uh..." What was I supposed to say to that?
"Your name." Had he spoken out loud? Apparently yes, because they were both laughing.
"Tsu... Tsunayoshi... Sawada."
"Nice to meet you, Tsunayoshi—"
"No!" They both blinked, and he couldn't help but look at the floor. "Alone... alone... only Tsuna..." Tsunayoshi was too long...
"Okay, nice to meet you, Tsuna-chan." The girl noticed at this point the cat on her lap; she hadn't let go of it yet. "Do you like me? Too bad it doesn't have a name..."
"She already has one, Azuna. Her name is Kuro-chan." The girl looked at her father, as if she didn't believe him.
"Father, that cat has been here for about 3 months and no one—Oh..." Blinking, why was the change in expression? Had he done something he shouldn't? "Kuro-chan, uh, it's a good name..."
"You can tell your boyfriend now, Tsuna-chan has already given him type; he just needs to put the stats on him—"
"Low Attack, Medium Speed, Slightly High Health, Slightly High Defense, Medium Evasion, High Mana—"
"Oh wow, a player... aren't you a little young for that, Tsuna-chan?" The girl half-joked, making him blush. "Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were shy..." He shook his fingers, getting his attention. "Do you want to play with me? I have a new racing game and I don't have anyone to play it with..."
"...Kuro-chan..." He couldn't help but mutter, smiling inadvertently.
To be honest, he didn't think he would see that doll again... The local had left the place after about three months, because they had moved out of the city... It was probably a simple coincidence; it was impossible for them to have returned... although he wasn't going to deny that he would like to see them again. Sadly, he had lost all contact with them... What could he expect? He was only 8 at the time... Smiling nostalgically, he went over to see Kuro-chan in more detail; maybe he wouldn't have that opportunity again... and if it wasn't Kuro-chan, it was a very similar doll, maybe a little too much...
"Where has Tsuna-kun gone?" They wondered who knows how many times that day... It was already 2 in the afternoon, and nothing at all.
Gokudera was very angry with them, but at the same time... I was relieved, for reasons I wasn't going to share. Still, Emma had the suspicions that it had to do with the fact that Tsuna escaped the endless hours of waiting for the girls to finish shopping... In fact, they were still at it, outside another clothing store, looking like fools everywhere, to see if by chance they could see Tsuna. And not only that, they already had 30 bags on them... At this point, the boys already understood what the hell Tsuna was referring to that morning... and they didn't blame him for running away... But heavens, he wasn't even with them for an hour, and Haru... Haru, heavens, from all the time calling him... Should you feel sorry for him, or feel relieved?
"It's getting a little late, guys..." Kyoko commented, looking sideways at the stores and aisles. "I don't want to leave Tsuna-kun out at lunch..." I look at them. "Do you have any idea where he could have gotten himself into?"
Bored, worried, irritated, and almost unable to feel their arms thanks to the whole set of bags that had nothing they had bought... except Gokudera, who had bought magazines, books, and was having coffee at the time, they realized something. What did they realize? They didn't know where Tsuna could have gotten himself into. From all they knew, he could have gone home, as if nothing had happened, but they doubted it very much; Tsuna was not like that. Because of this, they felt ashamed of themselves, because how could they not know something like that? Even if it didn't seem like it, that was something important. If you had no idea... that meant they didn't know that Tsuna liked her... that he liked to watch or buy—
"I've got an idea." Gokudera avoided the looks he was receiving, before saying seriously: "It's just an idea, from a few comments here and there..." He paused; not only that, he had seen Tsuna from time to time reading mangas... or playing in the middle of the night, but I never mention it. "Tsuna likes video games and anime; is there a place like that in this place?"
"Well..." Emma grimaced. "We have passed by about 30..."
About an hour later, the boys couldn't take it anymore; they couldn't feel their arms, so they stopped by a fountain to rest, while the girls bought juice for everyone. The juice was a bad idea, really. No, it wasn't because they weren't thirsty, they were. The reason was simple... They spat it out, and those who didn't choked. The reason, they had it in front of them, literally: Tsuna was talking to someone very, very animatedly in the tent right in front of them. They couldn't hear what he was talking about, but they'd never seen him so animated with a stranger... or what they thought it was with a stranger.
"...nicer than before, don't you think? We have reinforced the materials." The man, who already looked like an old man, turned his head like in the old days, making him laugh. "I knew Kuro-chan would bring you back, kid; you can't forget something you treated like a pet, can't you?"
"I honestly thought I wouldn't see them again..." He took Kuro-chan in his hands, feeling his softness, and not wanting to make him speak:
"Hello, I like fish!" The voice had changed a little; it was much more childish now.
"I didn't think I'd see Kuro-chan again either..." He smiled a little nostalgic for a moment. "I wouldn't have come near if I hadn't recognized Kuro-chan; the shop is totally different on the outside..." and a little inside. "It was bigger, more spacious. And on the outside, it was much more elegant and there was no Pikachu... "What brought them back? I mean, it's not that I'm not happy to see them, but..." How do you explain—
"You worry too much, Tsuna-chan." Ryo laughed, playfully pushing him to the couch and pouring him a tea, which made the boy laugh. "Everything went well; the business was a success, and Azuna got married..." But our home is here, Tsuna-chan; we were going back, but we didn't know when, so we didn't want to give you hope..."
"...They would have done it." He said a little hurt, but he couldn't blame them for it.
"You would have returned to the place every day, Tsuna-chan." Was Ryo's simple reply, sitting down with him. "We barely returned two years ago... You were just a child; we couldn't do something so cruel to you." Especially knowing him.
"They have no idea how much I miss them..." Even being 24 years old... They were very good to him when few were when he was a child. "It doesn't matter anymore; they're back." He never thought he'd see them again in the first place. "And Nee-chan, I haven't evaluated your... spouse..."
"Hahahaha, there's God, Tsuna-chan..." He hadn't laughed like that in weeks. "Don't you remember Syaoran, your Nii-chan?"
"...Oh..." Wait a minute... "Did those two end up together?"
"Yep, they're a cute, but crazy couple." Ryo sighed a little; those two gave him headaches. "I hope that doesn't bother you."
"Not at all, no jokes." Before Ryo's surprised look, he added: "My life has been complete madness for now... I thought it's been two years, so I really don't think it's worse than what I live day by day..." He rolled his eyes. "I mean, I'm used to it... It doesn't help that my house has to be remodeled once a week at least, and no, believe me, you don't want to know." And I didn't want to involve him... "although perhaps she already was, just by talking to him."
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing standing there?" A voice said that Tsuna had missed very much.
"NEE-CHAN!"
The girl was taken completely by surprise, as were the boys, who had been standing at the door for a while... In fact, the only one laughing was Ryo, at the boys' faces. Tsuna had pushed them, ignored them, and so on... all for hugging the girl who had arrived.
"Oh my God, Tsuna-chan!" A huge hug... and...
"Nee-chan!" Tsuna complained, embarrassed, could he still pick it up like nothing?
"You don't weigh much, Tsu-Tsu." The girl joked, making him spin, laughing... something he joined.
"I miss you, Nee-chan..."
"So do I, Tsu-Tsu." There was only one problem with the meeting. "And you haven't answered me yet: who the hell are you and what are you doing here?"
The girl's killing intent, which was anything they had known for, coupled with what they had witnessed was enough to intimidate them. Tsuna looked; he hadn't realized they had company... and laughed, calling the attention of Azuna and his father, as well as his friends.
"They are friends of mine, Nee-chan." The girl opened her mouth, closed it...
"...It's good that you made friends, I had worried about it." Oh, if only I knew.
"Let them introduce you to them." He smiled a little amused. "Yamamoto Takeshi, a great baseball player, popular at school, and very nice." Now he pointed to Gokudera. "Gokudera Hayato, a genius, in short, very popular with girls, intelligent and with a bad temper, but he is a very good friend, and perhaps a little too overprotective—"
"Juudaime!" Tsuna grimaced...
"Gokudera-kun, please stop kneeling..." I couldn't blame Azuna and her father for looking at them as if...
"But Juudaime!"
"Gokudera-kun..." This was said more seriously, which Gokudera quickly realized. "Thank you..." I point to Emma. "Kozato Emma, to sum it up..." He's a lot like me, but he's a much better friend than I am." They were about to deny that, but Tsuna wouldn't allow it. Even so, the other two had grabbed the gesture... they knew very well that Tsuna believed himself to be less than he was, so it was not a surprise to them. "Sasagawa Kyoko, a sweet girl, very popular, kind and affectionate." I point to Haru. "Miura Haru, sweet, kind, and loves costumes and likes children."
"Tsu—"
"Guys, I introduce you to Azuna and Ryo Akimura, father and daughter." He smiled. "Ryo, a kind man, knows how to take care of children, owner of this shop. A somewhat temperamental and overprotective girl, Azuna has a strong character and is very energetic, but she is also incredibly kind and caring." I pull out a doll, making Azuna and Ryo laugh. "He is Kuro-chan, a familiar who uses the elements of water and ice, he is a healer, a support, and he goes to the defensive part in his stats. He is a child relative; he takes things seriously only when the situation is serious... otherwise he is a friendly cat."
"You and your Kuro-chan..." The girl couldn't help laughing...
"Nee-chan..." He should be ashamed, but he wasn't. "Well, to make a long story short... One day, as a child, I ended up escaping from my bullies around here, and out of curiosity I ended up entering their shop..." I point to Ryo with my head. "Since then, I've grown fond of them and they took care of me until they had to leave town. Honestly, I didn't think I'd see them again, but here we are." "Well, having said that... "Nee-chan, let's play! Have you tried the new one yet..."
Ryo smiled a little worriedly seeing the faces of the other boys... apparently, they had never seen Tsuna act like that before... and that... that wasn't a very good thing, let's say, because Tsuna was really happy at that moment.
