New year was over when Hibari's uncle finally came to them.
Tsuna was translating the newest book of a popular Chinese author in Italian in the Office when the bell of the door rang. He looked at the now opened door, but didn't see anybody. He was about to return to his work when a voice called him from right in front of him.
"Excuse me, is this the home of one Hibari Kyoya?"
The voice came from the floor. Or rather, it came from someone who stood very close to the floor, realized Tsuna. When he lowered his gaze, he was met with two Asian young children. Well, one young child -girl said his Intuition, because it was not very obvious- and an individual the size of a child but whose bearing and steady eyes were too mature for a kid. And who resembled his best friend a bit too much for it to be a coincidence. Once again, the brunet's Intuition whispered to him that the boy was not young at all and shouldn't be treated as such.
Tsuna had always trusted his feeling and wasn't about to start doubting it today, despite the weirdness of the situation. So he answered the not-baby like he would an adult. "Yes, he is, though he doesn't go by that family name for security purposes. I assume you are the uncle that was kind enough to act as an in-between for our messages to Japan?"
The not-baby was pleasantly surprised by the brunet's attitude. People usually treated him like a child because of his looks, and it was refreshing to be answered like an equal for once. "Correct, I am Fon, it's a pleasure to meet you. And this is my young apprentice, I-pin." The girl bowed. "I guess you are Sawada Tsunayoshi?" That was one safe assumption. The brunet looked like a clone of Vongola Primo with a different hair and eye color. "My sister Yukiko, Kyoya's mother, told me about you and your other friend, Irie Shoichi."
"I am, but you can call me Tsuna. Only Kyoya insists on saying 'Tsunayoshi'." They both smiled at that : they both knew or could guess how close Tsuna and Kyoya had to be to call each other by their first names, shortened or not. "He is away for a job right now, but should return by lunchtime. If you would stay until then..."
"I would be honored to." Replied Fon. "And you can call me just Fon as well. It is a first for my nephew to befriend anyone and I would love to hear more about you."
Tsuna nodded and gestured them to make themselves comfortable on one of the Office's multiple sofas. Fon was a charming person, with impeccable manners. He was very different from his gruff nephew, though they were obviously related. Despite their apparent age gap, their features were almost identical -if you omitted the good-natured smile on Fon's face.
As a good host, Tsuna offered drinks to his guests and started to talk with them. I-pin apparently had trouble understanding all the Italian words, so they spoke in Chinese. The Sky began by explaining how they had started Caeruleus. Fon was impressed that young boys could keep such a business running. Then Tsunayoshi recalled how they had met two other friends since coming to Italy, Hayato and Lambo, and stated that Kyoya got along relatively well.
It was at that moment that Lambo escaped Shoichi's attempt to teach him basic math in the private living room and barged into the Office.
"Gyahahah! Lambo-san" the boys had managed to at least stop him calling himself 'sama'. "is too great to do schoolwork! You will never..." He spotted I-pin. "Gah! What is that Tail-head!"
I-pin, who despite he lacking Italian, got the gist of it screamed as well. "Oh! Broccoli Monster!"
Things escalated pretty fast after that and soon, the two kids were chasing each other throughout the Office, knocking tables and chairs throughout the room in the process. Good thing they older kids had replaced any fragile or expensive furniture when Hayato came in.
