Growing (Back) Up

Reborn

This is something I wanted to do with the Arcobaleno with their relationship with Tsuna after the curse was broken.

You can interpret if there's any R27 here or not. There's not really any specified relationship they have currently. It's something that goes beyond words and something they just have.

Having the Arcobaleno grow back to their original size was a process.

A very painful process that anyone who has spent some time with said Arcobaleno can say with a shudder that it was something that would scar them for life.

So imagine all the Arcobaleno barging into your house demanding attention and entertainment. Tsuna was one of the unfortunate that the Arcobaleno sought out. Having to deal with all the constant mood swings has invoked many many migraines that all result in him wanting to just explode and burn something.

And the fact that our poor protagonist lived with one didn't do well for ones already crumbling sanity.

Yes, a process indeed.

"HIIIIEEEE!"

BANG! BANG!

"Reborn! Stop it! What did I do this time?!"

"Stop with your annoying screeching and stay the f**ing still and accept your punishment like a boss."

"What?! NO! I don't even know why you are so mad in the first place!"

BANG! "You are in my presence. And that's enough of a reason to shoot."

"HIIIEEE! That's so unfair!"

It was early morning in Namimori in the Sawada household, Sawada Tsunayoshi age 17, already in his second year of high school was scrambling around the house dodging the array of bullets that's was shot at him. And Reborn, the greatest Hitman now at the physical age of 11 was giving chase to the runaway teen, Leon in his hand mercilessly pelting bullet after bullet at his student. The noise was a normal occurrence in the Sawada household, as was this situation here.

The sun Arcobaleno had woken up in excruciating pain at the butt crack of dawn. With your body stretching itself out over night and having to go through the process of growing back up was a pain. His body had started having random growth spurts after the Arcobaleno curse was lifted. Now that the Trinisette didn't need to have a live host, with Tsuna presenting a solution that came in the appearance of Talbot and jars and night flames, the Arcobaleno were finally free after being in a tiny body for so long.

It wasn't just Reborn but also the rest of the seven strongest (except Lal and Yuni) that had started waking one day a whole two inches taller.

Sometimes the growth spurts were slow, growing a year of two in the course of a few months. And other times it was over night, growing one of two years (those days the night after were the most painful).

Reborn had just had one of those fast growth spurts, the day before he was only nine, and the next eleven and a few inches taller. To Tsuna's growing horror (and embarrassment) he was already catching up to the brunets height with only being a preteen while he in his late teens. Reborn's taunts and remarks didn't help his pride either.
