Let's Prove Them Wrong

Part 2

Reborn continued to explain how to do algebra to Tsuna, teaching it better than the actual teacher did. By the time Nana came up with the plate of cookies for the two, Tsuna was almost done his homework. She looked ridiculously proud that Tsuna didn't feel like telling her he had gotten a 12 on his science test. He just shoved it to the bottom of his bag so she wouldn't see it until he accidentally pulled it out looking for something.

On the way home from school the next day, Reborn followed Tsuna, looking at everything around him as they walked. Tsuna was a little annoyed at everybody else since people kept trying to make fun of him again for Reborn coming home with him. He didn't know why it bothered him so much but it did. Reborn was oblivious to this, or maybe he wasn't and was just ignoring it, and was taking everything in like a small child in a new environment.

"It's a wonder you can live with all of this around you and not even be the least bit interested in it." Reborn commented. They were passing a lonely park that had swing sets with chipping paint and a sandbox that had greying sand from weather.

Tsuna looked at him in confusion. "I grew up here. I walk past this every time I come home and go to school. It's nothing special to me since a park isn't exactly exciting anymore."

"Why aren't they exciting anymore?"

"Because I never really played with anybody at one very much, if I did it was because their parents made them or there was nobody else. Can't really blame them because I would have definitely tripped and knocked them down in my fall."

"Let's go play in one together then."

"What? No, I'm not doing that-No let go!"

Reborn had taken Tsuna's wrist and was pulling him at a jog towards the park they were just passing. The entire thing looked menacing to Tsuna even though it was completely empty of children. Tsuna was trying to struggle out, pulling and digging his heels into the ground so maybe he would fall and be left on the ground, but Reborn was stronger then him and easily dragged him over to a swing.

"Reborn, I'm not doing this." Tsuna said stubbornly.

"Okay, well you don't have to do anything because I'm going to push you on the swing. Since you want to be a baby about going." Reborn scoffed and pushed Tsuna so he was sitting in a swing.

"I am not being a baby about this. I just don't like swings because they give me a headache!" Tsuna didn't even get to finish his sentence before Reborn was pushing him, giving him an under-duct so he would go higher. "Why are you doing this to me! Please don't!"

"Close your eyes, it makes it better." Reborn called up, smirking to see Tsuna clinging to the metal rungs that held the swing to the metal bar.

"I don't really feel like I should listen to you because of this!" Tsuna didn't trust himself enough to close his eyes because who knows, maybe he'll let go and just fall to the ground. He was a disaster to those around him.

Reborn didn't seem to mind as he kept pushing him, making Tsuna go high enough that the swing set shuddered a little. He let out a small shriek in fear before slowly loosened up, feeling like a little kid with his mother again. She used to force him onto the swing too since he wanted to go on but was too scared to go on by himself.

He laughed a little before he felt Reborn stop pushing him, stepping back and watching Tsuna go on the swing set, laughing happily as he swung. He pushed his heels into the gravel when he started feeling dizzy, smiling giddily, but spraying small rocks everywhere.

"I'm going to throw up and it's going to be your fault, Reborn." Tsuna said, his hair settling messily around his face now that it wasn't blowing around him.
