Tsuna gulps as he pull his headphone, "How was it?" He asks to the four who's listening from the other side of the glass.

He can see the four interacting, but since the other side didn't turn on the mic, he couldn't hear whatever they're saying.

Anxious swelling up as he squeezed his hands, 'Was it bad..?' He chew on his lips, staring on the three who finished whatever they were discussing.

"It's not bad, but you need to pour more of your having fun." Reborn then voiced out. He flinched from the sudden noise but nodded. "It's a song about playing games and all, don't sound so stiff."

"O-Okay." Tsuna replies back nodding. "Let me try again."

Reborn smirks at the enthusiast side of Tsuna and gesture Lal to restart the recording.

Putting on the headphone again, Tsuna breath in and relaxes. 'Reborn's right, I have to sound like I'm having fun. I need to learn to be expressive.' Breathing out, he open his eyes, gave a nod to Lal as the instrument starts playing.

Listening to the beat, skipping a bit as he's trying to capture the fun time, lifting a smirk as Mafumafu's lines were mischievious.

Over the other side of glass, everyone except Reborn who's smirking too- must say they didn't expect the other side of Tsuna, where he really sound mischievious and fun. It sounds more natural than the previous attempt, and it just enchanted them.

"He have a talent in acting doesn't he." Fon commented.

"Maybe."

The four stare at the brunet who seems to be having so much fun singing the song. They stayed silent as they listen and Fon visibly smiles.

When he finished, everyone nodded, satisfied. Lal gave an okay and the solo parts were finished.

"Maybe I should propose a duet." Fon hums, "Like The Weaklings' World Conquest.."

"Honeyworks huh? Most of their songs are good." Verde thought for a while, "How about suggesting him sing the Ultimate Puu?"

Reborn snorted, "That's a good idea."

Fon wheezed. "It would be so funny-" He coughs as he stopped himself from laughing.

"But with who? Kumamaru doesn't even sing-"

"Skull?"

"Heh that would be hilarious."

Tsuna peaks out from the glass, deeming the conversation is done.

"We're going to record the dialogs now." Lal told and let the three enter the studio, joining Tsuna.

"'kay." Tsuna went back inside.

"You seem happy! Were you on a date?" Yamamoto voiced out.

"D-Date- No!" Tsuna quickly denied, "But, I did have some fun, I guess." He mumble out, his blush hidden in his mask.

"Awh, hanging with friends? You should've invited us too."

"We're not friends though."

"Ouch." Yamamoto pouts, "Can't we be friends? I mean we'll stuck together after all."

Tsuna stares at Yamamoto who seems serious in the offer and sighs, "Maybe if you can proof you're not on Iemitsu's side." He replies.

"Oh, we're on Ieyasu-san's side! Does that still not good?"

The brunet halted, "In case you don't know, I never held proper conversation with my brother. I hardly see him too." He told. "I don't know what kind of person he is, but still I do not like him since he never seem to care of me either."

Yamamoto blinks, looking down, "I see. Sorry about that."

"Why would you apologise?" Tsuna lightly scoffs, "It's my family that's messed up. I'm sorry to you too since you had to come here for college just so you can keep an eye on me."

"Oh, we're actually also here because Ieyasu-san wanted you to have us as friends-"

Gokudera quickly ran and slaps Yamamoto's mouth, "You stupid-"

"What?"

Yamamoto released Gokudera's grasp, "Come on, Gokudera! He needs to know that at least Ieyasu-san worries about him." He voiced out.

Gokudera groans, "I knew you were a bad choice." He grumbles out.

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, Iemitsu-san was about to send y'know, scary looking men, I don't know whoever they are, but Ieyasu-san stops him and suggests to send us instead." Yamamoto explains with a grin, "He knew of how you don't have any friends and since we're kinda close in age, we were offered if we want to."

Gokudera sighs and sat on the floor beside Yamamoto. "I've heard this from my brother, but appearantly Ieyasu-san always wants to pay a visit and have some quality time with you but Iemitsu always bothers and never allows him."

Tsuna's mouth parted. "R-Really..?"

"Yeah.." Gokudera mutter out, "You don't know, G is always stressed out because of your shitty father."

"Well, everyone can see how he's shitty." Yamamoto pointed out.

"No shit."

Tsuna bit his lip, "I see." He felt so many emotions rushing to him. "Thanks.. for telling me." He mumble out as he hid his face and ran inside to his room.

All this time, his brother wanted to become close to him. He wasn't a bad brother. He even protected him now.

Brushing his face, holding in the tears that's threathening to fall, he sniffs.

Up until now, he can't get to know to his brother just because of his so called father.

Leaning to the door, slamming it behind his back. "I'm sorry.." He sniffed out, hugging his own knees. "Thank you.."
