When He Grows Up

When He Grows Up

I looked at the baby hit man sleeping in his hammock. It is one of those nights again. Staring at the moon used to be something I did when sleeplessness occurred while I was still living alone with my mother. However ever since this annoying man turned baby appeared in my life, everything turned upside down including my heart. I took the opportunity to gaze unreservedly at the hit man who claimed to be my tutor. I wanted to laugh at the thought of him being a tutor. After all what kind of tutor teaches a student without taking his pay?

Being a mafia boss isn't something I would do willingly but if Reborn was by my side I think I can do it. It's probably the same as Dino when he agreed to become such an outstanding boss but somehow I knew there was a difference.

When it came to Dino it was because Reborn made him feel safe. When it came to me I would not say safe. Reborn is probably more dangerous than the enemies out there who wanted me dead. However in my case knowing that I would die any time I somehow wanted it to be Reborn to take my life instead. Yes he has messed me up this badly for me to be thinking like this on a sleepless night.

When he left I thought it was for good. He took my heart away with it. Then the devil returned and told me something about being the Neo Vongola Primo. I couldn't help but feel both relief and anger at being cheated. The heart I thought was gone for good was within grasp only this time I knew it was being held ransom. It was definitely Reborn's way of saying "Do it because I know you love me."

I sighed inaudibly. I can lie to anyone else but I know I won't be able to lie to myself. Who was I kidding? I loved this man turned baby. Even though his curse was broken it would probably take time before he can become a man and I would definitely be older than him when the time comes.

Closing my eyes, I tried to fall asleep once more. Only this time I prayed that the dreams would bring me what I desired but could not have.

It was strange. I heard someone calling me. However I did not know who it was. The voice was foreign but somehow it felt nostalgic. I knew this person but I knew for a fact that I probably have never met this person. The owner of the deep and smooth baritone ruffled my brown gravity defying locks with strong hands.

Strong hands...

Bolting up suddenly from bed I toppled over. Being a little anemic in the morning meant I had low blood pressure. When I recovered I discovered a pair of familiar curly side burns. Where had I seen them before?

"No-good Tsuna!" the man snapped. I looked at him and turned ten shades of red in a span of three seconds. This man is way too good looking for his own good. He couldn't possibly be human. Then again he called me no-good Tsuna. Does that mean that he knew me? Better still, was I dead?

The God-like man sighed almost tragically. "No you are not dead. However you will soon be if you don't hurry. I heard that Hibari doesn't take being late very well. His tonfas have teeth all the better to bite you to death," the hot man breathed into my ear. His face was too close to mine and I knew I turned even deeper shades of red.
