Chapter 46:Big brother Tsuna

Fuuta knocked on his brother's door. He was feeling the slightest bit lonely, having just started school in Namimori and finding friends was becoming a difficult task. Surely his 15 year old brother could read to him tonight Fuuta thought, absentmindedly rubbing the book he brought.

Tsuna peeked his head out, before smiling at Fuuta. In a light joking manner, he had noticed the hand rubbing the book, he started, "Fuuta aren't you a bit old to be asking me to read you a book before bed? Oh well, I suppose this is our little secret. I won't tell Lambo."

Hopping onto the brunette's bed, Fuuta held out the book for his brother, "It is in English, but I really like this series."

Tsuna glanced at the title, "Risked huh? It is fine in English, you know I am better than most now since Reborn has been tutoring."

Fuuta laughed as Tsuna sat down beside him, "Of course , how could I forget?"

Chuckling, Tsuna opened to the bookmarked page, "That's not fate,Jonah told himself. It's not destiny. It doesn't have anything to do with our chances..."

Maybe, tomorrow he'll ask to play some video games with his Tsu-nii. But right now Fuuta was content listening to his older brother's voice.

Lambo nervously stood outside his brother's door. He was having trouble with his English and Bakadera was out having sibling time with Bianchi. Before Lambo built up his courage, Tsuna had opened the door.

"Lambo? What is wrong?" The brunette asked, worried over the normally confident cow's subdued actions

"Tsu-nii , would you help me with my English?" Lambo muttered, looking away embarrassed.

Tsuna smiled, gently bringing his youngest brother in, "You don't need to be embarrassed Lambo, everyone has something they aren't good at. Now what is troubling you?"

Lambo sat down at the table, flattening the homework on the desk, "These words, where, were, wear, aren't they the same? And these down here, the there's?"

"Well, where, w-h-e-r-e, is used in where is Namimori? Or where is Lambo? See," Tsuna pointed at the sentence, "and wear, w-e-a-r, is used in wear your socks. Or wear those boots. That one is used in this sentence."

"But they mean totally different things! That is stupid having them sound the same!" Lambo exclaimed, listening to the easy explanation

"That is what everyone says," Tsuna sighed, "but it is what it is. Now can you do number three for me based on what I have told you?"

Lambo studied the sentence, "it is not asking the place something is so it can't be this where. But it is also not asking for something to be put on, so it can't be this wear. So It is were?"

Tsuna nodded, ruffling the unruly afro, "That is right. Now can you tell me when it is used?"

Lambo frowned, "Is it used when..."

==//==//==//==//
Ipin came home in a hurry. Lambo and Fuuta far behind her, too lazy to keep up.

Tsuna looked up from the couch, "Ah, welcome home Ipin. What's the hurry?"

Tsu-nii, can you.. teach me how to dance?" Ipin asked breathlessly

Tsuna nodded, "I can, but what for?"

"The school dance is coming up, and Lambo wants to practice with me next week since he says he's rusty, but I forgot how to dance!" Ipin rushed, "I know you're busy with Vongola lately, but I really wanted you to teach me Tsu-nii!"

"It is no problem Ipin"Tsuna grinned, coming and gently grabbing her shoulders, "I can always ask the others to do more paperwork than usual. They'll be fine with it since it for you."

"Really?" Ipin gasped, "Cause it is for me?"

"Yeah, they all love you, Lambo, and Fuuta" Tsuna blinked, "You are our younger siblings."

"That is sweet!" Ipin beamed, "When are we going to start Tsu-nii?"

"How about tomorrow? I can do last minute work today that way. Tsuna glanced at the door, "Now go do homework with your brothers."

"Ipin, you have to let me lead." Tsuna said, "Just trust me."

"Ah, sorry Tsu-nii" Ipin replied, glancing down to make sure not to step on his feet.

Tsuna sighed, "Ipin stop looking down. it is fine to step on my feet. I won't get mad."

"Oh, sorry Tsu-nii" Ipin raised her eyes to look at her brother's face.

"That's better," the brunette smiled, "Now we are going to go left, so pay attention to body language so you can tell when to move your feet okay?"

Nodding, Ipin let her eldest brother lead her into the turn. Giggling, she exclaimed, "I did it Tsu-nii!

Tsuna lead her through the rest of the dance, finally dipping her. "Ipin , don't let anyone except Fuuta and Lambo dip you okay? I don't want anyone getting ideas to kiss my baby sister. So step on their feet."

"Okay Tsu-nii!" Ipin laughed, "Wait, is that really it? Are the lessons done?"

"Well, until you hear what the other dances actually are. Besides, you're a natural." Tsuna smiled, "You were only a bit rusty. Now go practice with Lambo or Fuuta"
