Welcome to the Mafia, Kuroko Tetsuya!!!

Chapter 3

Day 4 in the Kuroko household

As soon as the sun rose over the horizon on that uneventful summer day, Kuroko Tetsuya rose with it. The blunette sat in his bed, dazed and quiet. His locks sprawled out in every direction, his baby blue eyes blank as he tried to collect his thoughts. After a few minutes of silence, he finally gets out of bed, quickly fixing his bedsheets before heading out the door. He closes the door behind him softly, mindful of the other sleeping residence. He quietly makes his way through the hallways  After doing his morning routine, he walks downstairs to find the kitchen lights were open. He approaches the room to see a figure hunched over the oven, the light sizzling of the pan finally reaching his ears.

"Good morning, Kuroko" a baritone voice greeted, not even turning away from the food. Kuroko stood shocked. He wasn't used to people feeling his presence, seeing him normally for that matter.

"Good morning, Reborn-san" He greets back, taking a seat on the dinning table. The two kept quiet for the time being, creating a companionable silence that was neither uncomfortable or comfortable. But in that silence, Kuroko was thinking to himself about what's happened in the past few days of their stay in his house. The group was really energetic and loud but it was fun nonetheless. One thought went to another until he finally remembers his and Reborn's first meeting, which was a gun to the head and a suspicion that this man was hiding a lot more than just being Tsuna's home tutor.

"Reborn-san?" He calls out, receiving a grunt in reply. "When we first met, you said something that made me question if you're hiding something really big from me. It's all just suspicion and slight curiosity but maybe you aren't JUST a hired home tutor? Before Tsuna pulled me away from our conversation, you were about to say something"

What follows that was silence, tension building up in the air between the two males

"You're quite sharp, aren't you Kuroko? Most wouldn't notice those signs so easily" Reborn musses, plating the scrambled eggs that he was making.

"I take pride in my observation capabilities" Kuroko counters, propping his chin on his hand as he watched the tutor move.

"Unfortunately, I cant tell you right now. It'll bother my idiot student.  I cant let you know, at least not now" He answers, walking over to place the plate down in front of the teen.

"I can be patient" He answers, the conversation ending in a mysterious note with the silence hanging almost eerily. Reborn takes a seat in front of Kuroko with a newly brewed cup of coffee in his hands, taking small sips of it whilst Kuroko began taking bites of his plate of egg, fish and rice.

Tsuna joins them shortly after for breakfast, suspicious of the heavy atmosphere around the two men. He greets them both and takes a seat beside Reborn before engaging into conversation with Kuroko as he ate his own plate. Yamamoto soon comes downstairs with Gokudera trailing behind him looking haggard. They both enter the kitchen and immediately perk up at the sight of Kuroko and their boss.

"Good morning, Juudaime, Kuroko-san, Reborn-san" Gokudera greets, giving a bow to the three of them before taking a seat beside Tsuna

"Good morning, Tsuna, Kuroko, kid" Yamamoto greets, taking a seat beside Kuroko. Though Reborn isnt a 'kid' anymore, the habit stayed thus the nickname.

"Good morning, Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto-kun" Tsuna and Kuroko greets simultaneously. Breakfast continues as normal with the usual banter amongst each other but Yamamoto remained quiet, looking off into distance with a blank stare. Gokudera just continued as normal, a bit thankful that the baseball freak quieted down but Tsuna grew concerned for his normally enthusiastic friend.
