Let's Prove Them Wrong

Part 3

The teacher they were supposed to be helping hadn't arrived at his classroom when the two arrived so they were forced to sit in the hall until he came by.

"I feel like I was sent out by the teacher right now." Tsuna mumbled. His voice was muffled from how he sat with his cheek against his knee. Reborn looked down at him from where he was standing next to Tsuna in confusion, asking incredulously, "They actually send people out in the hall for disobeying?"

"Yeah, at least in this school they do. Do they in the schools you went to in Italy?"

"No. But that's mostly because everybody was too afraid to disrespect our teachers. The principal was still all about giving us the strap if we spoke out of turn when he was around. And the principal was always around. The teachers didn't like him so they actually let us paint and sing and all that since the principal didn't believe that helped anybody learn." Reborn shrugged. "That was only primary school though. In secondary school, I went to one for math surprisingly enough, and we knew not to speak when the teacher was and all that. So not very many people got in trouble."

"What do you mean you went to a school for math?"

"In Italy you chose what you want to do in your next level of school after Primary school. I chose math since I was good at it but it's kind of ironic since I also know three languages so far."

Tsuna looked at Reborn in a little bit wonder and a lot of annoyance since he wasn't used to talking to somebody so smart without being talked down too. He sighed as he leaned his head back against the wall.

"Here it's hard enough to start class. I think that's because the teacher doesn't want to be here as much as the students do sometimes but I don't think that's the point." Tsuna muttered. "Some people are smart but not as smart as you apparently."

"I've noticed that, how people will talk while the teachers trying to do their job and teach us something new. I barely get it since I learned a lot of my schooling in Italian but I'd still like to hear what's being said." Reborn made a face of pure annoyance and disgust that made Tsuna laugh and nod.

"I understand. My class is terrible for that. The one time I tell them to stop I got detention for talking during class. I swear half the teachers hate me." Tsuna held up his hands in a 'what can you do' kind of way that had Reborn rolling his eyes.

The two waited in front of the class for another fifteen minutes before Reborn sighed and asked, "Are you absolutely sure we had to come today?"

"Yeah, he said seven AM. At least I think he did." Tsuna furrowed his eyebrows as he thought back before nodding. "Yeah he said seven AM."

"What do you mean you think?" Reborn asked.

"W-Well, um he could have said PM since they sound similar but I don't know."

"Who asked you to come here?"

"Um, that would be Hibari since he said he was passing this along from-oh, wait." Tsuna covered his face with his hands and groaned in annoyance. "We didn't have to school to help a teacher in first place. We had to babysit."

"How do you get 'babysitting' out of 'we need to help a teacher'. We can go ask Hibari when we need to anyways since he's here already."

"No if I ask he's never going to let me live it down. He might also beat me and you have not been on the receiving end of those things he carries around."

"Oh, I'm shaking. I'm asking him because you made me get up early for nothing."

Turns out Tsuna and Reborn were supposed to babysit Haruto and his little sibling because their mother had a night course in college that she was taking to get a certain job and didn't have a babysitter. They had only gotten the job because of how how Nana and Ms. Suzuki knew each other and Ms. Suzuki seemed to trust them. They had to be there by six thirty that night, not that morning, and stay till midnight at least. It worked out since this was also on the weekend, which made Reborn even more angry at Tsuna since he also got ready for nothing.

Nana was still laughing at them when she was told where they disappeared to so early in the morning. But she laughed while she made them food so it wasn't as bad.

By the time they needed to go over there, Nana had it drilled into their heads that if there was a baby crying you don't ignore it unless they need to calm down in their room and are crying because of it. She also sent them over with snacks since they were going to be there for so long.

Reborn and Tsuna made it there just in time, knocking on the door and hearing small feet running down the hall to the door. Somebody was talking but they couldn't make out what they said since the door was closed. When it opened, Ms. Suzuki was putting an ear ring in and hold Haruto back from running out. She smiled up at them and stepped back so they could come in.

"Thank you both so much for doing this. I'm sorry it's such short notice and how I got Hibari to tell you. I hope you didn't have any trouble finding the house again." She said, finishing putting her ear ring in and straightening her skirt so she looked a little bit presentable.

"No, we found it no problem. And it's fine, we're happy to babysit Haruto and Karin." Tsuna said, smiling reassuringly.

"That's great then. There's food in the fridge if you two get hungry. The little ones already ate so all they need to do is get changed into their pyjamas and go to bed at 7. I'd get them ready around there and get them to brush their teeth and wash their face before getting them to bed. Karin might wake up a couple times and cry since she's scared of the dark and the night light doesn't help much so one of you just go in and rock her back to sleep. She should be fine for a bit after that. She normally only wakes up a few times during the night but it's been getting less so you two shouldn't have too much trouble." Ms. Suzuki turned to where Haruto was behind her and said to him, "Now I want you to be good for them, okay? No fooling around about brushing your teeth and getting to bed. Is that clear?"

Haruto nodded seriously and Ms. Suzuki hugged him tightly before going up the stairs and speaking to her one year old Karin, saying almost the same thing she did to Haruto to Karin.

"Alright then, I guess I'm off." Ms. Suzuki said, waving at the two before shutting the door behind her.
