"Eh? Fireworks Festival? Seriously,in this time of year?"--Tsuna said as he tap his fingers against his desk.
"Yes,Tenth. It was posted on the public announcement board and it caught the attention of our classmates when we're out for a bit."--Gokudera said
As usual,Tsuna's office is filled with paperworks and document files. Even before he became the official Boss,Reborn bombarded him with works,which is very obvious.
"Oh,really?"--Tsuna said as he lean forward and place his chin on the back of his hand.
"They said they wanted to ask permission to you if they can go."--Gokudera
"Hmm..I'll think about it.. For now..open the door,Gokudera-kun."--Tsuna said as a smirk slowly appear from his lips
Without a thought,Gokudera open the office door and the students stumbled in.
"What are you doing,you idiots?!!"--Gokudera stormed
"Uhh.. That made me dizzy.."--Rukio as he rub his head.
"Eavesdropping on our conversation through the door huh? Quite clever of you,guys. But that's rude."--Tsuna said as he watch his classmates heave themselves up.
"W-W-Were sorry for that,L-L-Lord Decimo. W-We didn't mean to."--The students stutter
"Didn't mean to?!! Are you kidding the Tenth?!! You already did! Eavesdropping is a form of disrespect!! I'll crush you all to pieces!!!"--Gokudera yelled as he stick out his dynamites
"Where the hell did that bunch of dynamites came from?!! And why do you have them?!!"--the students scream as they cower in fear
"Gokudera-kun,it's alright. Don't get so hype up. Hide your weapons away."--Tsuna said as he watch his classmates back up in a corner.
"But Tenth.."--Gokudera said,lowering his hand full of dynamites
"Now."--Tsuna said in monotone voice
"As you command."--Gokudera said,hiding his dynamites
Tsuna turn to his classmates,smiled at them and motion for them to sit. Which the students quickly obeyed. Gokudera close the door and went to his Boss's right side.
"I'm sorry if you're frightened. That's how my Guardians act when they feel or think I'm being insulted or disrespected."--Tsuna said
"I-I-It's okay,Lord Decimo.. Really.. We're just shocked,so pardon us."--Miyuki
"Drop the honorifics. I'm not used to you calling me with honorifics as highly as that. I'm still the Tsunayoshi Sawada you knew,so call me by my name. And stop shaking. Just relax and don't be nervous,I'm not gonna eat you or something like that."--Tsuna said
The students did relax,since Tsuna himself told them to. At that moment,a knock came from the door.
"Giovanne Maestro Decimo?( Young Master Tenth?)"---it's Serenia. Agata's assistant Head Maiden
"Si? (Yes?)"--Tsuna answered back in Italian,which made the students' eyes widen.
"Ho portato i tuoi dolci e tè del pomeriggio. (I brought your sweets and afternoon tea.)"--Serenia said from outside
"Oh veramente? Si prega, portarli dentro, Serenia.(Oh really? Please, bring them inside Serenia.)"--Tsuna said,making the students' jaws drop.
Serenia open the door and went in. She gently place the food tray down her Boss's desk and the extra cups. Then,she pour tea to each of the cups and handed them to the students.
"La ringrazio molto,Serenia. (Thank you very much,Serenia.)"---Tsuna said as Serenia step out of the room and bow to him.
"E ' mio dovere servire voi,Decimo.(It is my duty to serve you,Tenth.) Scusami. (Excuse me.)"---Serenia said before closing the door.
"Help yourself everyone."--Tsuna said
"D-Didn't you said that you are not fluent with the Italian language?"--Miyuki
"I lied. I am fluent with it and all the other foreign languages."--Tsuna
"W-Why did you lie?"--Miyuki
"To hide my true identity. I gave some thoughts about it. Surely,you'll be surprise if a No-good can speak a foreign language in front of you,am I right?"--Tsuna
"Y-Yes. That's likely."--Miyuki
"So..about the festival... I heard from Gokudera-kun that you wanted to ask permission from me if you can go.."--Tsuna
"Y-Yes.."--Miyuki
Tsuna's lips quiver as the young Boss turn to his right-hand man.
"Gokudera-kun.."--Tsuna
"Yes,Boss?"--Gokudera
"Can you leave us for a while? I need to talk to them alone."--Tsuna said
Gokudera stared at his Boss for a moment then he nodded and head for the door. He gently close it after stepping out.
"Tenth..this is first time I saw you broke down because of a simple reply.."--Gokudera whispered and then slowly walk away
Tsuna turn to his classmates and stare at them.
"Then,..why didn't you came and ask me personally? You know,even if I'm the Decimo,it doesn't mean that my personalities will change base on my authority status. Yes,the Vongola Bosses must be strict and intimidating.. But,their personalities dont change.. It's not like I won't give you the chance to go,all I wanted is to keep you all safe.. The Mafia,as you all know is very dangerous and the Vongola Family being the strongest have many rival mafia families that could harm you.. I dont want to repeat the tragedy the other day and bring you traumas."---Tsuna said softly and solemnly
The students hung their heads down. What Tsuna said is true. What stops them in asking him is fear. Fear of what will he do to them and what will he say to them. Yes,Tsuna's right. He's still the same,but they feel like they need to stay away from him.
Tsuna,unfortunately saw through them.
"I'm very sorry,everyone..I'm very sorry.. Now.."--Tsuna said as he sob softly
The students lift their heads up to see Tsuna...
"Now,about the festival.. Sure.. You can go..But with my Guardians,so they can keep you safe..."--Tsuna said as he wipe his face
"Really?"--Rukika
"Yes. Just enjoy yourselves while you're still here in Italy.."--Tsuna
The students cheered,overwhelmed with joy and excitement, they keep screaming and yelling until Miyuki shush them.
"The festival will start at 8:30 pm tonight... Are you coming with us?"--Miyuki ask
"I..I..I.. I think.."--Tsuna
"You should go,Tsuna."--Yamamoto,who suddenly appear out of nowhere with Gokudera said
"Yamamoto..B-But.. I have work to do. Besides,I want all of my Guardians to go with them and keep an eye on everything while I do my work."--Tsuna
Yamamoto raise an eyebrow and smirk at Gokudera.
"Me and Gokudera won't go if you are not going,Tsuna."--Yamamoto
"T-That's right,Tenth. It's my duty to follow you as your right-hand man."--Gokudera
"Then,follow my order to keep an eye on them."--Tsuna
"Didn't you understand what Gokudera had just said,Tsuna? It's our duty to follow you. If you're not going,we're not going. And if we don't go,no one will keep an eye on them. You got that?"--Yamamoto
"Besides,Tenth..you're overworking yourself.. Meetings,seminars,councils.. Paperworks..even before taking after the throne.. We knew everything.. Lady Nana told us that you sleep very late at night doing work. You've suffered enough..All you do is think and worry about others..."--Gokudera
"That you don't have time to think about yourself,Tsuna."--Enma suddenly interrupted
"Enma.."--Tsuna
"You're hurting yourself,Brother...Loosen up..Don't think about work for now..Don't be a stubborn idiotic kid and join everyone.."--Enma
Tsuna's lips curve into a smile and he turn to Miyuki as his smile grow wider. Miyuki blush.
"I'll go with you,guys."--Tsuna said.
The students don't know why,but they felt like they're hypnotized just by that simple sentence.
"Well then,it's settled Tenth."--Gokudera
"Yeah. You're coming too,right Enma?"--Tsuna
"Course. I can't miss the fun."--Enma
"Okay,everyone!! Go and tell the rest to get ready for the festival!!"--Yamamoto shouted
As soon as Yamamoto said that,the students hurried out of the room while thanking Tsuna.
"Thank you,Tsuna!!"--Rui
"Thanks,Dude!!"--Akito
"Hey Pres.! What are you doing?! Come on!!"--Kamiko
"H-Huh? Eh?!! Wait for me!!"--Miyuki yell and ran after the students.
Enma and Yamamoto turn to Tsuna and smirk.
"What?"--Tsuna
"Oh,Tsuna..As usual,you are SO dense, Bro."--Enma
"Huh?"--Tsuna
"Looks like you've got an admirer,Tsuna!"--Yamamoto
"Huh?!! What do you mean by that?!!"--Tsuna
"Nothing~~"--Enma and Yamamoto singsong
"Geez,you guys.."--Tsuna
~~~
"Oh my God! What's happening to me?!! Why is my heart beating so wild and fast?!! And why are my cheeks so hot?!!"--Miyuki thought. She head straight to her room instead of going the others spread the news.
"I'll go with you,guys."---Tsuna
"I'll go with you,guys."--Tsuna
"I'll go with you,guys."--Tsuna
"Oh my God!! What's happening to me?!!!! I keep hearing his voice!!!! What in the freaking hell is this?!! A disease?!!"--Miyuki yelled
"It's called LOVE,Miyuki."--???
"Ah!! Geez,Risa!! You scared me there!!"---Miyuki
"Never mind me,Miyuki. Tell me what happened?"--Risa,Miyuki's roommate and very best friend
"W-Well.. There's this guy in our class that caught my attention.. And..for a moment.. I was hypnotized.. And then...the next moment I knew,my heart starts beating wildly and fast...and I keep hearing his voice..I don't know what's happening to me!!"--Miyuki
"Oh my God,Miyuki.. D-Don't tell me.."--Risa
"What?!"--Miyuki
"Don't tell me.."--Risa
"WHAT?!!! I'm getting frantic because of you!!! Tell me already!!!"--Miyuki
"You fall for that guy,Miyuki!! You like him!!!"--Risa
"WHAT?!!!!!!!!! That means I like.. I like.. I like Him?!!"--Miyuki thought as she passed out.

~Time skip~
~8:00 pm~
"Geez... What are taking them so long?! It's already 8:00 and they aren't finished yet?!!"--Daisuke
"Now,now Daisuke. Calm down,I'm sure they'll be through it soon."--Takeo
"Tch!"--Daisuke
"But,if you look at it,they are pretty late. We promised the Tenth that we'll meet him and his Guardians at the gate before 8:00."--Rukio said looking at his wristwatch
"Oh no.. We'll be in trouble again.."--Kentaro
"You already been in trouble before."--Daisuke
"Don't remind me."--Kentaro said,feeling traumatic
"Sorry guys,we're late!!"--Rui said as she ran towards the boys with the other girls tailing behind
"Very late,geez. We're gonna get into trouble because of you."--Daisuke
"No,no it's fine,Rui-chan. Don't mind Daisuke."--Rukio
"Well.. Is everyone here?"--Miyuki
"Hmmm.. Yep!! All here!!"--Kamiko
"Well then,come on. We don't want the Tenth waiting any longer."--Kou
The students walk briskly towards the gates of the Mansion where Tsuna and the others are waiting. 3 limousines are lined up before them and some butlers.
"We're sorry,we're late Tenth!!"--Kamiko
"Ah,everyone. It's okay. You're only 10 minutes late,no harm done. Except.. What did I said about the honorifics?"--Tsuna said
"A-Ah.. Drop the honorifics.."--Kamiko
"Good."--Tsuna said
"Is everyone present?"--Yamamoto
"Yes!!"--Miyuki
"Well then,let's go. The festival is waiting."--Tsuna said as the butlers open the limousine doors.
The students get on the cars excitedly. The whole car ride towards the town is full of excitement.
~~~
When everyone arrive,the students quickly split into groups with a Guardian or two to keep an eye on them.
~Group A is consists of Rukio, Kentaro, Rukika,Miyuki,Yuri,Kou, Seiyo,and Hyuga. With Tsuna and Gokudera to watch them~
~Group B is consists of Kyoko, Hana,Haru,Daisuke,Seira,Ryo,Zero,Ichii, Risa, Shin, and Takeo. With Yamamoto to watch them~
~Group C is consists of Kaizen,Rui, Osamu,Kenichi,Eula,Daichi, Akito,Shinichi,Akio,and Rouge. With Chrome and Mukuro to watch them~
~Group D is consists of Mochida, Sho, Hanare,Riyoko,Spencer, Thane, Noru, Hoshie and Nezu-sensei. With Enma and Ryohei to watch them~
~Hibari,as usual prefers to be alone. He only came to the festival under some conditions.~
"Now,you can go wherever you want but don't separate away from the others. We'll meet in the old sakura tree at the top of that hill before the fireworks start. Understand?"--Tsuna
"Yes,sir!!"--everyone answered
"Well then,off you go!!"--Tsuna
Each group went on their ways. Group A went to watch a play. Group B went to buy souvenirs. Group C went to eat and Group D went to play games. After that, they try the different gaming booths and won different prizes. Tsuna,as usual wins every booth but instead of keeping the prizes all by himself,he gave them to his classmates in his group.. And when he won the catching the goldfish game booth..
"Miyuki-san.. It's your turn.. Here,you can have this goldfish."--Tsuna said as he hand the prize over to Miyuki
Miyuki hesitates for a moment but takes the fish anyway. And when her hands touch with Tsuna's,she blush like there's no tomorrow.
When the grandfather clock strikes at 10:00,every group rush to the hill with a sakura tree.
"Whoo!! We barely made it!!"--Kamiko
"Right!!! Oh my God!!"--Rukika
*Boom!!*
"Oh,it starts!"--Yamamoto
Everyone look up to the sky as different fireworks decorates the vast space.
Tsuna secretly smile to himself as he watch the fireworks come and go..
"Maybe becoming what I am now isn't so bad.. Besides,I'm not alone.. Everyone is there for me..Just like those Fireworks..."--Tsuna
~~Flashback~~
The students hung their heads down. What Tsuna said is true. What stops them in asking him is fear. Fear of what will he do to them and what will he say to them. Yes,Tsuna's right. He's still the same,but they feel like they need to stay away from him.
Tsuna,unfortunately saw through them.
"I'm very sorry,everyone..I'm very sorry.. Now.."--Tsuna said as he sob softly
The students lift their heads up to see Tsuna...
Crying...
~~End of Flashback~~
"That's right.. Wherever I go.. They will be there.. No matter what happens.."--Tsuna
