Previously....

Reborn's P.O.V

Isn't this interesting? Who would have thought that the 'Dame-Tsuna' can talk? That's why his actions seems fake. *smirk*

I'll find out your secret, Dame-Tsuna...or should I even call you that?

I'll be observing for now and maybe...just maybe if I see him worthy...I'll tell Nono to change his heir and not that idiotic student of fine. 

Thought...HE seems suspicious. His eyes said a different thing. I'll find out what THEY are hiding. I'll make sure of it.

End of Reborn's P.O.V

With that, Reborn disappeared in the shadows, leaving the two friends, who was separated by time but was brought back by destiny and fate, crying in happiness.

It truly was meant to happen. It's truly...The Fated Meeting.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

"So...you two are childhood friends?" Nana asked. She wasn't aware that his oldest son has a childhood friend because whenever Tsuna is on the house, he rarely smiled and rarely talked to anyone.

Tsuna nodded while seating on the couch with an arm above the couch. (look above. that's how his posture is -_-) Hayato sat by his side while twirling a dynamite with his fingers. 

Anyway, Nana smiled and looked at Hayato. Hayato looked back.

"My name is Sawada Nana. But call me auntie, ne?" Gokudera blinked and smiled politely. "Okay then. Auntie." Nana visibly brithened up with rainbows and a flowers at the background.

Tsuna and Hayato sweatdropped. Then Hayato remembered something. He turned to Tsuna, looking seriously.

"Why." Tsuna looked at him confusingly. "Why are you in a hospital."

Tsuna looked at Nana. "Mom. Do you mind preparing some food in my hospital room?" Nana smiled getting the message ,that they needed talked in private ,and with that, she left. Tsuna sighed and looked at Hayato once more.

"What's my full name, Hayato?" Hayato looked confuse but answered it anyway.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi." Tsuna's eyes turned to orange which shocked him.

"What's the name of the Vongola Decimo candidate?" Hayato widened his eyes. 'N-no way. He's—' Tsuna's eyes softened and reverted back to it's regular color.

"That's right. I'm his brother. His older twin brother."

Gokudera gritted his teeth. "Why aren't you—" Tsuna raised an eyebrow and cutted him off. 

"To answer your question, I'm here because I was beat up by him and I didn't fight back because I have an identity to hide. And what I mean is Dame facade." Gokudera narrowed his eyes.

"So that's why you're injured." Tsuna nodded. Gokudera sighed. "Then why are you not the Vo—" Tsuna held a finger and smirked. 

"I'll tell you a secret, Haya-chan." Tsuna opened his mouth and told the secret to Gokudera ,who widened his eyes as he heard the secret.

 "The only people who knew about this is those idiots." Gokudera nodded, understanding who those idiots are. 

There was a serious atmosphere but was broken by a single sentence...

"Hey! Do you know about the monkey, who committed suicide?" Tsuna smiled playfully as his eyes shows the playfulness he shows when he was young.

'Good work for ruining the momentum.' Gokudera thought as his eyebrow visibly twitched. "I don't care about that damn monkey!" Gokudera faced palmed. "You never changed." 

Tsuna laughed. "Of course~ I won't change~" Gokudera rolled his eyes that caused Tsuna to laugh harder.

Gokudera looked at him and smiled. "I missed your laugh, you know that?" Tsuna stopped laughing and whipped a tear." Me too, Haya-chan." The two chuckle for a bit.

"Anyway... Here in Namimori I am known as a Mute-Dame-Tsuna. While in the mafia, I am known as Cielo27.—" He was cut off when,

 "EEEHHHH?!!" 

Tsuna blinked and smiled sheepishly. "Is it that surprising?"

"Damn right it is." Hayato agreed.

"Cielo27 is known for being able to hack everything and like the Sky he could see everything! Not to mention, rumors hold that it's better not to mess with him because of his high level of fighting and within seconds you'll be begging for mercy! Who wouldn't be surprise to learn that his childhood friend is actually Cielo27?!"

While Hayato was explaining, a glasses and black board with writings were there and he was nodding every sentence he said. Tsuna couldn't help but sweat dropped.

"Eto...Hayato?" Tsuna called out. Gokudera immediately look at him with sparkling eyes, That caused him to sweat dropped once more.

"Don't you think that rumor is far to...um...exaggerated?" Gokudera blinked and smiled brightly. "No it is not! It's just fit the description of Tsuna-sama!" 

Tsuna deadpanned him. "Seriously? Why Tsuna-sama?" Hayato nodded.

"Just call me Tsuna. Okay?" Hayato deadpanned him. "I will call you Tsuna." Tsuna brightened up."But not always."

Tsuna raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?" Gokudera smirked. "Starting from this day forward... I will call you what ever I like." 

Tsuna whacked him in the head. "Baka-Hayato." A tick mark appear on Hayato's forehead. "You—"

"So...mind telling me what happened?" Tsuna asked smiling.

"E-eh? What do you mean?" Gokudera asked nervously. Somehow, the brunette in front of him suddenly looked intimidating. Tsuna sighed and looked at the ceiling. He looked at Hayato in the corner of his eyes.

"Why are you here? Why is there a bandage in your arm?" Gokudera froze and looked down.

"I...I came to test the Vongola Decimo." He saw Tsuna froze but recovered quickly. "And?" Gokudera gulped.

"I battled with him." Tsuna's aura became a little dark and his eyes shadowed by his bangs. "And." Gokudera started sweating bullets.

"I dropped some dynamites on purpose to see if he'll save me or not." Tsuna looked at Hayato a little sharp that made Hayato feel like a child being scolded by his mother.

Though, because of his nervous-lity...he didn't get to answer the brunette. The said person sighed and looked at the ceiling for a minute.

Hayato looked at the brunette, wondering why he stopped asking but he suddenly froze when a dark aura came from the brunette and the said person side-glared him that made him flinched.

The brunette let out a sadistic smile, still looking up but the glare was still there.

"Haya-chan~ Answer me." Tsuna said as he turned to look at Hayato. "Did he save you or not." This is not a question but an order.

Hayato gulped and answered shackily, "H-he..." Tsuna's eyes turned amber once more but it seems more sharp. "H-he didn't s-save me."

All Hell break lose.
