I'm Home

Happy Mother's Day

Mamoru frowned, he was deep in thought. Hibari glanced at him for a while then returned back his focus to the book. He wouldn't admit it but he kinda liked the book belong to herbivore's husband. His collection suit his taste. He didn't mind day after day spending in this library.

"Hmmm..." grumbled Mamoru, placing his hands on his chin, posing like he thinking of something. And he continued to do that and somehow disturbed Hibari's reading concentration.

"What is it, kid?" asked Hibari, trying to control his frustration for the boy's disturbances.
The boy looked at him and cheered up.

"I thought Papa didn't get the hint," grinned Mamoru. Hibari could feel his vein almost popping in anger. So, the boy was doing that to grab his attention?

"Okay, you got me now. Say what you want?"

"You'll see, Mother's day is approaching. What do you think we should get her for a gift?"

"None of my business," said Hibari, return to look at his books once again.

Mamoru pouted and hit him softly with his tiny fist. "Papa is bad, it's the first time I'm celebrating mother's day with Mama, so I want to get her something,"

"Then, go get something your mother would like,"

"But I dont know what Mama's favorite is," said Mamoru.

"Ah, I know. Let me ask Grandma and Grandpa. Papa, give me your phone," said Mamoru enthusiastically. Hibari take out his phone and give it to the boy.

"Hello, grandpa. Mamoru is here. I'm using Papa's phone right now," said Mamoru when the call got through.

"Ah, hello, my cute Mamoru. What's the problem? Someone bullied you? Want grandpa to give them a good teaching,"

"What?? Not that, grandpa. Beside if someone bullied me, i got uncles and aunts to handle them. I want to ask, do you know what Mama's favorite is? It's almost Mother's day and I want to get something for Mama,"

"Oh, what about sweets?" Asked Iemitsu.

"That's too common, grandpa. I want something else,"

"Wait, let me get your grandma? Nana, Mamoru is calling," called Iemitsu from the other side of phone. He could hear hurried footsteps and then a female voice greeted him.

"Grandma,"

"Mamoru-chan, what is it, honey? Is your Mama doing well?"

"Mama is doing well, but still busy. She hardly spend time with me, grandma. Grandma, do you know Mama's favorite? I want to get something for Mother's Day,"

"Her favorite would be homemade hamburger, honey. She also like strawberry milkshake and caramel pudding. Do you want the recipe? I can give it to you,"

"Really? Yes, I would loved to," said Mamoru happily. He silently asked for Hibari to jot down the recipe.

Right now, both Mamoru and Hibari at the kitchen, preparing the special dinner for Tsuna.

"Papa, my eyes hurt," sniffed Mamoru, trying to wipe his teary eyes.

"Why are you the one who crying when I'm the one cutting the onions?"

"I dont know. Help me," Mamoru continues to sob.

"Go wash your face," said Hibari, continue doing his job. Mamoru nodded and go to the sink to wash his face.

"So, what's next?" Asked Mamoru.

"Next is for you to sit there silently. And dont touch the knife or come near here," said Hibari, start making the sauce for the hamburger.

"Papa is stingy," Mamoru cutely pouted but still listened to what Hibari told him to do. Later, he found something else to do by setting up the table.

Mamoru's eye sparkle in amazement looking at the dishes prepared by Hibari. He jumped and hug him, luckily Hibari managed to catch him.

"Papa is amazing. Papa managed to get it all done in time," said Mamoru with a big smile. Hibari smiled slightly and put him down.

"Go get your mother, herbivore," Hibari smiled slightly. The boy nodded enthusiastically before run off to call his mother.

"Hurry up, Mama. Hurry up," said Mamoru, continued to pull on Tsuna's hand.

"Yeah, I get it, dear. I'm walking, aren't I?" said Tsuna, following her son until they arrived at the dining room. Her eyes widened in amazement.

"Surprise, Mama. Happy Mama's day," said Mamoru, "Papa prepared all this, I help too,"

"Enjoy yourself," said Hibari, and start to walk out of the dining room. He stopped when Mamoru hold his hand.

"Where is Papa going? Celebrate with Mama and me. Others had their Mama and Papa to celebrate it together. It will be no fun if Papa don't celebrate it with us," said Mamoru, look at Hibari pleading for him to stay. Hibari looked up at Tsuna and she replied with a soft smile and a nod.

"Hn," replied Hibari. Mamoru's face lightened up and he continued to pull on Tsuna and Hibari to the dining table and make them sit beside each other. Tsuna begin to taste the food and Mamoru waited patiently for her response.

"It's good. Just like how my mom used to do it," smiled Tsuna. Mamoru clapped happily.

" I asked the recipe from grandma. I tried to think of the gift to give Mama for this day and Papa suggested to give something Mama would like. So here it is,"

"Thank you for the gift, Mamoru, Hibari-san," said Tsuna in gratitude.

"But, you know what, Mamoru.... You're my greatest gift that I received from your Daddy. He left me you to remind me of him," said Tsuna with a sad smile, caressed her son's chubby cheek. Hibari watched her silently and continued to eat.

"Eh, Papa dont eat carrot?"

"I dont like the taste of carrot,"

"Mama said Daddy dont like it either. Papa, you're the same as my Daddy," said Mamoru with soft giggles and continue to eat the food happily.

Both Tsuna and Hibari find it hard to even swallow their food when they heard what Mamoru said. They tried to peek to see each other's expression only to have their eyes met each other. Tsuna turned back to her food nervously and Hibari find something he need to investigate. Who is Mamoru's dad and this woman's husband and what had happened to him? At least he want to find the answer for that before he returned back to Haru.
