Chapter 49:Coffee 2

Tsuna supposed he should have seen it coming really, but he hadn't.

Tsuna hated mornings. Despised them with every fiber of his being and as a result Tsuna had issues getting up early as he was required to do.

This had led to Tsuna trying an espresso once. He hadn't liked the bitter taste and resorted to coffee with a lot of milk and sugar...or rather Milk with Caffeine as the case may be. None the less Tsuna had developed a very strong addiction and need for that morning cup of coffee that was really milk and sugar with caffeine.

Everyone in the mansion had learned to stock up on Tsuna and Reborn's brands of coffee and espresso respectively or face the very horrifying consequences.

They had never run out of Reborn's espresso before since Tsuna made absolutely sure there was always espresso available for his tutor. Reborn had run out only once back when Tsuna was still in Japan being trained and Tsuna had sworn on his life to never let it happen again. Not after the horrifying scarring training session it had resulted in since Reborn had decided to take his frustrations and anger out on Tsuna.

Tsuna- who had only developed the need for caffeine during the years where he shadowed the Ninth just before becoming the Tenth officially- only experienced running out of coffee once. It had ironically let him sympathize with Reborn and understand why he had lashed out.

The end result of Tsuna running out of coffee was Tsuna beating every one of his guardians into the ground excluding Lambo and Chrome who were both out. One was visiting his mother, while the other was on a mission. Everyone else however had ticked Tsuna off since he was unable to deal with the chaos they caused without his morning dose of caffeine and in the end he had finally snapped hissing in a quiet voice that was louder than Ryohei's screaming somehow "Fine then. Since none of you are capable of ending these little sprats yourselves I will end them for you" before proceeding to knock all of them out.

Reborn had rounded the corner with a very proud look on his face having seen it all from different angles thanks to the multiple cameras he had everywhere in the mansion holding a cup of coffee waiting for his student to come back inside since he had dragged his guardians outside into the yard so he wouldn't have to deal with them when they woke up.

Tsuna had stalked inside where Reborn had fallen into step with him holding the coffee cup out to him. Tsuna had taken one look inside the cup- noting it was made exactly as he liked it- and turned wide grateful eyes to his tutor gulping down a mouthful before telling him "You can have seven different Dessert Favors for this Reborn. Thank you."

Reborn had been very pleased with that statement. His student was better at making deserts then he was at making Reborn's espresso and that was saying something. A Desert Favor meant Tsunayoshi would make whoever had the favor one desert of their choice and Reborn now had seven.

He smirked.

The mansion never did run out of Tsuna's coffee again after that.
