Let's Prove Them Wrong

Part 4

"Alright then, I guess I'm off." Ms. Suzuki said, waving at the two before shutting the door behind her.

Tsuna and Reborn looked at each other before sighing and walking further into the house. Haruto had run up to his sisters room and was playing with her there with the finger painting they had set up. Tsuna knew that wasn't going to be a good idea but he and Reborn followed them to the room they were at.

"Tsuna! Come paint with me!" Haruto asked immediately when they walked through the door. He ran over to Tsuna and pulled him over to the floor where there were newspapers set up to protect the floor and two pieces of paper filled with hand prints of all colours. Karin just black hand prints every where she could fit them on the page but Haruto's had all kinds of colours instead.

"Don't you two have to go to bed soon though?" Tsuna asked when he sat down with them.

"Yeah...But can't we paint for a little bit longer?" Haruto looked up at Tsuna with big eyes and Tsuna found it hard to say no in case Haruto started crying so he agreed saying about 15 more minutes.

"Now when I tell you it's time to put this away, are you going to listen?" Reborn asked, crouching down beside Karin.

"Yes! I promise." Haruto said, putting a big purple hand print in the middle of his page as he talked.

"I'm going to make you keep that promise, alright?" Haruto nodded, not listening now that he was allowed to paint again.

Tsuna snorted, Reborn throwing him a dirty look before he felt Karin tugging on the sleeve of his shirt. He looked down and she pointed to the paper. "Paint!" She said, pointing to him and giggling.

"You want me to paint with you?" Reborn asked to which she nodded quickly. She pushed the paper plate filled with paint, the paint running together in the middle and making a dark grey, and pointed to the purple paint.

"Hand paint!" She said, putting another hand print on her page. Reborn shrugged a shoulder at Tsuna as he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and stuck his hand in the paint, pointing to Karin's page and asking if he could help her paint. She squealed happily and nodded, Reborn putting hand prints on the page where Karin told him to.

Tsuna sat next to Haruto and watched him paint, timing how long they had on the clock set on a bedside table. He assumed this was Haruto's room from how there was a box of dinkis and that mat with the town sewed into it you used the small cars on. There also wasn't a crib so he was guessing it was Haruto's room.

Tsuna suddenly felt a small hand push against his cheek, making him screech and jerk back in surprise. Karin giggled mischievously as she sat back on the floor, clapping her hands full of green paint together and Reborn laughing behind her. Tsuna felt his cheek and saw paint on some of his fingers. He laughed a little and reached for the paint himself. He dipped his finger in yellow and put a small dollop onto Karin's nose, making her squeal and giggle.

Haruto laughed at his sister, not even noticing that Tsuna was coming for him next, putting a small amount of paint onto his cheek, making him squeal as well. He laughed even more as he put a hand print on the other side of Tsuna's face.

"Hey, we should go against Reborn." Tsuna whispered to Haruto. Haruto nodded and got some more paint, Karin looking up curiously. Tsuna told her what she told Haruto and she grinned giddily, crawling over to the paint and slapped both of her hands onto the plate. Some of the paint splashed onto her pale yellow dress but she didn't care as she stood up and ran over to Reborn, putting a small handprint on his forehead while Haruto got the rest of his face that he could manage.
