Let's Prove Them Wrong

Part 2

Reborn laughed. "You're the one who let me. It's still your fault."

"Because you didn't give me a choice." Tsuna whined. "It was kind of hard to stop you from dragging me here if you're stronger than me."

Reborn scoffed, walking over to the bench. Tsuna thought of something smiling mischievously. He ran up behind Reborn and tapped his shoulder and saying, "Tag, you're it."

Taking that as a personal challenge, Reborn chased after Tsuna, actually having a hard time as Tsuna darted and sprinted through the park away from Reborn. In the end, Reborn was still faster and fitter than Tsuna but he was just barely able to catch Tsuna. The only reason he was caught though was because Reborn American football tackled him to the ground.

He screeched like a small child when he went down but continued to laugh because of how he never got this as a child. He saw everybody play this but he never got to play himself since he wasn't that great at runner for one and he was never one to invite himself into a game when they were already playing.

"And you said you didn't like the park." Reborn muttered. He sat against the leg of the swing set, panting a little from the exertion but his black eyes dancing with excitement.

Tsuna shrugged, flopping onto the ground beside Reborn's feet. "I can enjoy things when I'm older, can't I?"

"From how you were going on about it, it sounded like you didn't believe you could." Tsuna shrugged again and closed his eyes so the sun wasn't straight in them. The two were quiet as they tried to breathe normally again, both happy that they were able to do that. What broke that happiness was when they heard the most horrendous screeching sound that could almost be sobbing but not quite.

Tsuna and Reborn sat up straight, listening. Tsuna was the first one up and moving towards the back part of the park where there was a bunch of woods. There was a small child that looked no younger than four or five sitting there sobbing his eyes out, his hands clutched around tufts of grass as he wailed towards the sky. Reborn grimaced at how loud he was but Tsuna just moved forward, calling out softly to the child so he wasn't spooked when he noticed the two in front of him.

"Hey there", Tsuna tried to speak as softly as he could but the child was too scared and upset to listen to anything so Tsuna reached forward and gently put a hand on the kid's shoulder. "Hey there, I'm not going to hurt you, I just saw you were sad. Why are you sad?"

The kid looked terrified, whimpering a little but quieting down. "M-My m-momm-mmy l-left m-me." He managed to stutter out, still crying.

"Oh that's not good. Where did she leave you?" Tsuna sat beside the kid, holding up his hands when the kid inched away so he knew that Tsuna wouldn't hurt him.

"I-In t-the p-park. W-We w-were p-playing H-Hide and S-Seek and-and I hid in the woods but-but she left me here." The kid looked like he was going to start screaming again so Reborn jumped in, sitting on the other side of the kid.

"How long did you hide?" Reborn asked, mimicking the slightly higher pitched voice Tsuna used so the kid would trust him more.

"I-I don't k-know!"

"Okay, that's okay. Do you know where you live? Where your house is?" Reborn said, holding up his hands in a placating way.

"U-Um, m-my house is r-red with pink and y-yellow flowers in front of the house."

"What colour is the fence?" Tsuna asked.

"W-White with green in it."

"I think I know where you live! We can take you home!" Tsuna said, smiling excitedly, making the kid hiccup a little bit and smile. "Do you want to go home?"
