The Sky and his Sun (KHR Fanfic R27)

Chapter X

Spanner

Tsuna knocked on the door before entering the room. "Spanner, sorry for disturbing your work, but do you want some sweets? I've made some with Kyoko and Haru and the kids."

"It's okay." Spanner looked up from his computer before looking back down again immediately and continued typing. "Oh, you're the Sky Arcobaleno. Thank you."

"Just call me Tsuna." Tsuna smiled warmly as he set the tray of sweets down on the table beside Spanner, and peered at Spanner's screen. "Oh, what are you doing? Are you investigating flames?"

Spanner looked up from the screen once again to stare at Tsuna. "You are from the Vongola too?"

Tsuna shook his head as he sat down on the chair beside Spanner. (We will ignore the fact that Tsuna lack all the Japanese manners, sitting down without being invited.) "Not really, but Vongola Primo is my ancestor, so I do have Vongola blood and flames."

"Really?" Spanner's eyes were filled with surprise, then pondered on this new experimental subject in front of him. "Can you do the X-burner like the Vongola Decimo too?"

Tsuna shook his head once again. "After becoming the Sky Arcobaleno, it's impossible for me to use flames anymore."

Spanner looked disappointed, and Tsuna handed him a sweet to cheer him up. "Sorry, but I may know some information about the flames that others don't though. If you need any help, do feel free to ask me."

"Thanks for your offer." Spanner popped the sweet into his mouth and then his eyes widened. "It's strawberry flavoured."

Tsuna smiled at Spanner's childish delight with the sweets. "You like strawberry? It's one of my favourites."

Spanner nodded, and reached out his hand to reach out for another sweet. "It's my favourite."

"Glad you like it." Tsuna watched as Spanner gorged all the sweets.

"It's delicious." Spanner licked his fingers after finishing the last sweet, his computer and the topic of flames completely forgotten. "You can make sweets?"

"A little, yeah." Tsuna was generally well-versed in cooking. After all, he had many years to learn that skill, and he enjoyed cooking too.

"I've always wanted to marry a Yamato nadeshiko who can make me good Japanese food." Spanner stared at Tsuna's face and spoke up.

"Ahaha, is that so?" Tsuna inched away at the sudden remark and Spanner's unsettling stare with a sense of foreboding, his intuition telling him that something unexpected was going to happen.

True to Tsuna's thoughts, the next sentence that came out of Spanner's mouth was definitely unexpected and out of the blue. Well, perhaps it wasn't so unfamiliar, and it felt like something similar happened before as indicated by the feeling of déjà vu. "But you fit the most important criterion, which is able to cook, so I think you're fine as my wife."

"Can't your Mini Mosca make food for you too?" Tsuna questioned, fearing for his long-gone sanity once again.

Was that a proposal? Tsuna hoped it better not be.

Spanner blinked innocently. "But your food taste so much better, and I will never be able to program it to cook as well as you."

"... That's nice." Tsuna finally said. "I'm not a Yamato nadeshiko, I can assure you. I know other people who can cook better, why not I introduce you to them one day?"

"Hmmm..." Spanner stared at Tsuna a bit longer. "I'm sure you'd be a good wife."

"I'm actually... uh... married..." Tsuna suddenly blurted out the lie, then froze and immediately regretted his decision.
