"Sorry.... It's just been so long since it's been worth the trouble of having a conversation..... I'm accidentally speaking my thoughts out loud"

Tsuna apologized with a sheepish smile, the hitman observed the teen for any lies, when he found none, he nodded in acceptance.

'Maybe he talks to himself when he's alone....'

"For someone who hasn't talked much, your voice isn't very hoarse"

Reborn stated, honey orbs blinked.

"Hmmm I drink a lot of water—"

He was cut off by the rumbling of his stomach, the brunette blushed darkly and avoided eye contact with the hitman. Reborn lowered his fedora and frowned.

"You didn't eat anything today have you?"

"........"

The guilty look from the brunette was more than enough for the hitman to figure it out.

"You also didn't eat supper last night.... Did you eat anything yesterday?....."

'I'm surprised that he hasn't complained about being hungry yet....'

Tsuna shook his head silently and the hitman frowned.

"I'm used to it.... Ie-San.... He doesn't like me in the same room as him so I try to avoid him.... Which sometimes causes me to forget to eat after him. That, or he steals my food"

Tsuna replied with a shrug, as if the fact that he was being deprived of food didn't matter to him.

'He shouldn't be so accepting of this..... I think I need to teach Baka-Ie a lesson in respect'

"Lazy-Tsuna, it isn't right that he's taking your food, you need food to live and function properly"

Tsuna covered his mouth with his hand as he coughed softly before responding.

"I'm fine.... Used to it, some kids in poor countries go days without food so I'm fine, at least I've got a warm house"

"That doesn't mean that you should let Baka-Ie take your food, whether you'll survive without it or not"

"Ie-San needs a lot of food, Kaa-San doesn't notice that, so I let him take my food"

The hitman raised a brow as he remembered the other night.

"Then why did you 'drop' your food on him"

Honey eyes flashed orange for a few seconds.

"I was actually hungry and looking forward to eating... If I refused, Ie-San would have kicked up a big fuss and upset Kaa-San"

'Putting others before himself, a good trait for a leader...... Maybe I could talk to Nono about this'

"How would you like to be Vongola Decimo?"

Honey eyes widened in shock at the infant's question.

"Impossible, I can't be Decimo..... I've already got enough problems to deal with"
