Facing Insanity

Week 7: First Date with Fire Lilly

Day 1) Lilly's Son

Lilly was gathering up the dishes left in the boys' rooms when she saw the little boy. He was sitting on a tree branch right outside Tsuna-kun's window. She left the stack of plates on Tsuna's desk so she could get to the little boy. Lilly opened the window, smiling gently to the small dark haired boy. She watched as the little boy backed up on the branch, and she sat on the window ledge.

"Hello, aren't you a cutie? You look like my Daddy did when he was little, but he's old now." Lilly said softly. The little boy crawled closer and Lilly smiled. As the boy got closer Lilly kept talking.

"Do you like fire? I love fire, it makes such beautiful poetry." she whispered secretively. The black haired boy smiled and Lilly felt her heart melt.

"If you don't have any parents you can call me Mama." She offered as she hugged the small boy to her chest.

"I was sent to kill Reborn, who I met at a bar." The little boy informed her.

"Well, then you must call me Mama, and I'm going to be the best Mama in the world. Starting first by saying you have a new mission. You will...find a hobby and make a friend." Happy with the mission she came up with Lilly carried her new son to the nursery.

"We'll be having lunch soon, and then bath time, and I'll introduce you to your new Grandfather, and Uncle Teddy, and..." Lilly said cheerfully.

Lambo smiled up at his new Mama as she showed him his new room. She made a list of different books to add to his bookshelf and toys for his room.

Day 2) Asking for a Date

Reborn hadn't noticed the little boy Lilly-chan had illegally adopted one day. She carried him with her everywhere. The small black haired, green eyed boy even called Lilly Mama, Teddy was called Uncle, and Hadrian was called Grandfather. Reborn felt he should've expected it, when the Bovino boy said he would be learning to make Poetry too.

"Mama makes Poetry, I wanna try it too!" The kid said during lunch.

Lilly had smiled so brightly it could've started a fire, if she hadn't began teaching the brat. It was the weekend and all of the teens had gathered to hang out. During the meal, Tsuna's Storm Guardian would glance from the Lightning girl, to the other teens around the table. Reborn wondered what had the boy so nervous, but shrugged it off.

Hayato decided to approach Lilly first. Just to confirm, because if she wasn't interested then he wouldn't have to worry about talking to her brother or her father. Lilly was in the nursery, singing to her son, and when the fuck did that happen? Wasn't she 13?, to sleep for nap time. Hayato stood in the doorway, watching as Lilly ran her fingers through the little boy's hair. Pulling out a bazooka, grenades, and tons of other explosive weapons out of the child's hair with a fond smile. Once she stood up and left the room Hayato decided now was the time to ask.

"Lilly-chan, I was, Well I was wondering if...you wanted to go out? Together that is." Hayato stumbled out. Lilly's bright green eye's glowed with happiness as she jumped up and hugged him. Hayato's face went red, protests dying on his lips, as she kissed his check before dragging him down the stairs.

"We'll make beautiful poetry together forever and ever, Hayato-kun!" She cheered.

Lilly dragged Hayato around the house while she looked for her Daddy. She found him in the backyard, telling an enraptured audience about the time he became immune to poison, while he ate Bianchi's poison cooking.

"Daddy! Hayato-kun's asked me out on a date! Can I go?" She asked happily.

Hayato could only watch in growing horror as eight sets of eyes pinned him with challenging gazes. He wouldn't back down, he had asked her and was pretty sure a date wouldn't be too bad. He met the stares head on with stubborn bullheadedness. Hadrian nodded in thought before he smiled.

"Very well, but since you decided to adopt Lambo-kun you'll have to arrange for his care." He said with a smile.

"We can take him with." Hayato offered, to which Lilly began to glow with excitement.

"We can go out tomorrow. It'll be so much fun!" Lilly said before she vanished up to her room.

Day 3) The Date

Hadrian smiled while his daughter got ready for her first date. She had adopted Lambo-kun after finding him in a tree and had been determined to be the best mother in the world. Which made him a grandfather at 33, but that was fine. As Lilly came down the stairs wearing a short red and black skirt, thigh high black socks, with her leather combat boots. Her shirt was white, and she wore an open black jacket. Her red and black hair was fixed up with a black bowtie. She carried Lambo, who wore his cow print onesie. The little boy enjoyed asking about the different rings Lilly wore as they left the house.

Hadrian watched from the window as Hayato stood at the door, and the three walked out of the gate together. They would make such a cute family. Hadrian noted as Lilly happily took Hayato's hand in her left as they walk. Lambo held in her right. Teddy and Tsuna left the house hand in hand a few minutes later, followed by Nana and Luna as the couples all decided today was a good day for a date. Hadrian noticed that Reborn had left as well. Harry had the kitchen to himself.

Hayato found himself enjoying the day out with Lilly, and Lambo. They went to the park first, where Lambo ran around and played while he and Lilly just talked.

"Well, lets see...My full name is Liliana Minerva Genevieve Potter, and I'm 13 years old." Lilly said. Hayato nodded, trying to find his voice so he could speak.

"My full name is Hayato Gokudera. I'm not sure if I have any fancey middle names. I never bothered to find out."

Lilly smiled as they turned around, having reached the end of the sidewalk outside the playground.

"I've been arrested three times, and have visited four different prisons." Lilly offered.

"Really?"

"Yep! The first was for mass destruction, I set a few towns ablaze with beautiful Poetry." Lilly shared as Hayato tried not to laugh at the matter of fact way she spoke.

"The second was for the destruction of Koukyo Land, a nearby amusement park in Koukyo. And the Third was for burning down one of the prison's I was held in."

"Wow, I've never been arrested, but I've caused plenty of destruction." Hayato shared.

"Really?"

"Oh yeah, one time I rigged an entire parking tower to explode when my target parked their car."

Lilly's excited laughter brought a smile to Hayato's face, as her eyes shined with wonder.

"I'd love to share my poetry with so many people. Once I'm officially part of the Mafia my Poetry will be admired by thousands!" Lilly declared.

"I'm sure it will be." Hayato said, and Lilly's emerald green eyes burned with her joy.

They went out for some lunch next, Lambo happily making a mess. Lilly cheerfully cleaned up after Lambo while she ate. Hayato taking a turn so she could eat her lunch.

"I don't like ice." Lilly said as she used her spoon to send the ice from her soda catapulting into the window flower box.

Lambo copied with his own ice, and Hayato joined. The three made it into a competition trying to get all the ice cubes into the flower box before they melted.

After lunch they went to the movies. Hayato had to make a retreat with Lambo when the movie unintentionally sent Lilly a challenge. Hayato watched with amazement as she single handedly set the theater ablaze. Watching as she danced out of the burning building as if she were dancing on air. The three watched the building burn, Lilly resting her head on Hayato's shoulder while they held Lambo between them.

"When we get married, we're going to make the church sing beautiful Poetry." Lilly sighed dreamily.

"Okay...wait what?" Hayato's question went unheard as Lilly and Lambo began the walk home.

Hayato followed, trying to get her to repeat what he had agreed to.

Did I just agree to marry her?
