Insecurities. Tsuna was filled with them.

Everybody wondered how he managed to remain unaffected with taunts, jeers and hateful remarks continuously thrown toward him for 9 years straight. Ever since he was five, the name "Dame-Tsuna" started to circulate. At first, it was nothing but a joke but as the days passed, it became something hurtful.

Everyone thought he ignored it all and lived to keep his mother company. That he never cared at all for what people said. It was only a cover up for him to say that he went to school to see Sasagawa Kyoko. He never wanted to go but he didn't wanted to trouble his mother.

The truth was he was affected... and severely.

How could he ignore everything when he was ridiculed and unwanted everywhere he went? Even his own mother accepted the fact that he was useless and no-good.

"I'm not saying you have to go to a good high school or college, you know."

She never knew that those simple words made him feel like not trying anything. Even if she meant no harm, she would hurt him in the most unpredictable ways. She even called him her 'useless son.'

-It hurts... and it hurts a lot.

So he pushed people apart unconsciously. He didn't wanted to get attached no matter how much he was craving for it. All because he didn't wanted to get hurt... because it hurt the most when he would be betrayed by the people he cared about the most.

That's why he was scared when... the baby wearing a fedora came knocking at the door.

Tsuna started at the scene in front of him with unreadable eyes. It's been two years since he's broken the Arcobaleno curse and now he's 16. All the arcobaleno have been growing up normally in the past two years too. If normally means the fact that they have random growth spurts of who knows how many years out of nowhere, then yes everything was normal.

Currently, an 18 year old amused Reborn was sitting at the side, watching the scene unfold. Every single one of his guardians were there too. It was the rare day that everybody decided to hang out today. Yes, even Hibari and he even allowed to hang out in his office!

At the moment Gokudera was doing a dogeza in front of him again for some reason that Tsuna failed to understand while everyone else was merely looking at them with amusement.

How did this happen? When had this happen? Was it when Reborn came along or was it when he first met Gokudera? Either way, Tsuna just couldn't keep up anymore.

They trusted him... people trusted him Dame-Tsuna. Why? Why aren't they treating him like everyone else. What's so great about him? Just why is this happening?

"I'm so sorry, Jyuudaime! I shall commit seppuku for my careless mistake!" Gokudera's voice snapped Tsuna out of his stupor as he watched Gokudera horridly bang his head on the floor.

"Maa maa Gokudera. It's fine -"

"Shut up yakyuu-baka!" Gokudera screamed at Yamamoto who was trying to settle this down but was failing badly.
