Rating: PG to PG13, haven't really decided for the future chapters
Warning: Can't think of one, maybe watch out for lots of men running after Tsuna?
N/A: Do you want to know why I keep asking people to guess? It's so that I can change it around. At the first chapter, many of you thought it was Reborn or Hibari. And now with the 2nd one out, you all thought its Fong. Well, thanks. Hehehehe.
Now I get to mess that up. What's your guess now?
"You want to know if I know who Tsuna's lover is?"
Gokudera nodded, edging closer to the Chinese man with enough eagerness to scare people, except Fong just stood there with a slight tilt on his head. "You live close to Tenth, so you must have seen him with someone."
"Well…" the Chinese and History professor trailed off at that, glancing to the side and then back. His usual serene smile was gone, and his eyebrows were knitted together. Dark eyes peered over the crowd that had stormed into his office, with Reborn trailing behind. "To be honest, I already know who it is."
The three perked up at that and was about to say something, when Fong cut them off with a wave of his hand. His long sleeve swished back and forth and the Asian professor took a step back. His long braid was trailing behind his back, swishing back and forth from the movement.
"But I'm afraid I can't tell you. I made a promise to Tsuna that I would keep his secret."
"What?"
Gokudera growled under his breath and reached forward, taking hold of Fong's red robe and yanking him down. "I don't care about some stupid promise! Tell me who it is, you bastard!" He was about to start shaking the other when the older man suddenly brought his hand down, almost like a chop, and ripped the offending hands away. Fong's eyes narrowed dangerously at that harsh response and held his hands out in a defensive stance, ready to protect himself from another assault.
The silver-haired teen hissed in agony as he cradled his arms. He could see a red mark appearing on his light-colored skin, and knew that in time, those marks were definitely going to become a bruise. Gokudera was about to make another retort and strike forward again when Reborn stepped in, covering the student's mouth, and peered at Fong.
"Sorry about that. He tends to act like that because of his temper." The Calculus Professor yanked the student further back, and stepped between them. He gave a warning glare at Gokudera, which silenced the silver-haired teen immediately, before turning back to the other. "So Tsuna made you promise to keep the identity of his boyfriend quiet, correct?"
Fong took a deep breath to relax his tense form and fell back into a calm state as if nothing had happened. His eyes were still sharp, eyeing Gokudera, and nodded in response to Reborn's question, somewhat lingering on the Calculas professor for a moment longer. "I found out about Tsuna's boyfriend by accident one morning when I came to wake him up for work. As you may already know, Tsuna's a heavy sleeper, so most of the time I have to act as a surrogate alarm clock. Please don't think you can get the name out of me. Tsuna is a dear friend of mine, and I refuse to betray his trust in me."
There was a silence between the two groups and eventually Fong continued, walking around his office to grab his possessions. "Now if you don't mind, I have class in ten minutes. If that's all you wanted to ask me, then please leave. I need to lock up."
Reborn turned to the two students behind him, and started nudging them out the door. Just as he reached the front, he paused and turned towards the other. "Hey, Fong, how is your relationship with your lover going?"
"Eh?" The Chinese man blinked at the sudden question and hummed to himself. A small smile graced his lips, and his eyes brightened. His hands went together to hide within his sleeves. "Well… It's going very nicely. I'm actually thinking of proposing sometime in the future, but I'm still not entirely sure. Still, I'm very happy. I wouldn't give up my lover for the world." His smile grew larger and he was practically beaming at the warm thoughts that were running through his mind. Fong was glowing from the happiness within him, and the others couldn't help but stare. Yamamoto congratulated him, clapping his hands together, while Gokudera just stood awkwardly to the side, not entirely sure on how to react to such a statement.
Reborn smirked and pulled down his fedora to cover his eyes. "I'm quite impressed. Well, I hope one day you'll introduce me to this mysterious person."
At that, Fong started to chuckled, bringing a covered hand up to his lips. "I'm afraid that that won't be happening anytime soon. My lover won't be happy if I did that. No, my lover would probably run away if I tried."
"That's too bad. Well, we better get going. See you another time, Fong." The Calculus Professor pushed everyone out and closed the door behind him, well aware that Fong's eyes still continued to stare into his back. He smirked at that. Well, that was one thing solved. It was nice that there were some people planning on getting married instead of chasing after Tsuna. Wait… 'Fong kept saying "my lover"… It's like he's refusing to tell anyone the gender… Why is that?'
Those thoughts were counted as unimportant, since Reborn needed to investigate about Tsuna's lover with the students, not Fong's love life. He could do that at a later time if he felt like it. But from what he got from Fong, the person had already slept with Tsuna, if the whole waking-up-in-the-morning part didn't give it away.
'That means Fong has already seen this person, so it has to be someone at school…'
Reborn smirked to himself, glancing down at the two students before him, and continued to push them forward.
"Why are we doing this again?" Yamamoto commented from the shotgun seat, tilting his head slightly as he stared at his partner-in-crime. Gokudera and Yamamoto were in the front seats of a car with Haru in the back, all of them watching Tsuna's house. It was early in the morning, with the sun just barely starting to rise in the distance.
"To watch Tenth's house, of course! We'll need to follow him to make sure! Maybe we'll get lucky and find that bastard!" Gokudera grinded his teeth together and tightened his grasp along the steering wheel. He stared at the front door of Tsuna's house, wanting nothing more than to jump out and enter the building.
"Why does Haru have to get up so early for this? We could have waited at the parking lot for them," the only female of the group muttered to herself. She laid down on the back seats, taking up the whole space. "We've been here for over thirty minutes, and nothing has happened so far. We haven't even seen Professor Fong go in yet-" Just as she stated those words, the front door opened and the said man stepped out, carrying a small bag in his hands. Tsuna trailed not too far behind, locking his door, and went over to Fong's car. As he did so, the brunet yawned tiredly, rubbing his eyes, and then stretched. The three ducked down and pressed the buttons to pull down the windows, so they could hear the conversation that was going on between the two.
"Man, it's only Wednesday. Come on Friday, come faster," Tsuna grumbled, tossing his stuff inside the car. Fong chuckled from the other side, shaking his head.
"I don't think it really matters, since you get every other day off anyway. Most people would consider you lucky… well, both of us, I guess, since we have the same schedule." Fong went inside the car, closed the door, and placed his keys into the ignition. As the engine roared to life, Tsuna grumbled under his breath and pouted.
"Soooo… I like to think that I have a weekend and am allowed to sleep in for two days in a row." Sticking his tongue out at the Chinese man, he got into the vehicle, and put on his seatbelt. He flopped against the cushion, and pulled the seat back, so that he was in a more relaxed position.
The three in the other car could no longer hear what was being spoken, so they resorted to reading the movement of lips and expressions. But that was impossible, since Tsuna was no longer visible-he was lying down. Fong, however, could be seen laughing about something. As the two professors backed out of the driveway, the three students followed along, trailing behind.
"Should we really be doing this, Hayato?" Yamamoto glanced at the driver, wondering what was going to happen to them if they got found out. They were slowly making their way out of the neighborhood and into the main street. The traffic proved to be a slight obstacle, but the three managed to remain close behind the professors. "I mean, what will happen to us if we were to get caught? Professor Sawada won't be very happy about that."
Gokudera obviously hadn't thought that far ahead, and narrowed his eyes, bending his head downward. He didn't say anything and continued to drive, even following them into the café. He parked a few spaces away from the other car and watched as the two adults stepped out, making their way towards the shop. They would have followed along, but they knew it would be a dead giveaway if they did. No other student lived this far from the campus, and it would be blatantly evident that they had been following the two.
Haru seemed to straighten when she watched the professors disappear inside the building. "Hey, doesn't Professor Sawada normally go in by himself?"
The two male students glanced between each other then back at the female.
"I mean, by all the rumors and reports, Professor Fong waits in the car while Professor Sawada goes in to the get the drinks. That's kinda odd, don't you think?" The brunette blinked. She tried to peer through the darkened glass windows of the window, but with no avail. "Why would Professor Fong go in with him of all days?"
There was a silence between the trio, but no one moved, waiting for the doors to open once more. About five minutes later, the two professors stepped out of the café, each holding onto more than one container. Actually, in total, there were five containers… Fong went towards the car, opening it up and placed the two he was holding inside but remained out to watch the brunet, leaning against the hood of the car. Tsuna kept walking further away… right towards the group's car. The students tried to hide underneath but a sharp knock on the window made them rethink that. The brunet stood at the driver's side window with a smile on his face, peering through the glass at the three faces. Gokudera reluctantly pulled down his window.
"Here, this is for you." Pushing in the three containers he was holding, Tsuna slightly leaned into the car. "If you're wondering how we knew about this, Fong spotted your car outside my house when he passed by my window. We didn't want to mention anything until now." He peered back at the other Professor, who made a small wave at the group. Smiling, the brunet stepped back. "Now you three be good, okay? If you're going to follow me, you should have been less conspicuous. Fong is really good at catching people. If you're going to try and get past him, you'll have to be creative."
As Tsuna pulled back, the three stared at the drinks they had received, popping open the cans just as Tsuna closed the car door. Fong immediately turned on the engine once more, glanced at the three students, before pulling out of the parking lot, leaving the three behind without any hesitation. Tsuna glanced over towards Fong for a moment, gave a smile before moving his chair back up so that he could sit in a straighter position, and began to happily sip on his frappe. Every now and then, he would turn towards Fong to say something. Meanwhile, as the three students sipped on their drinks, they were unaware that they had been left behind. They were so deep in thought, mainly by the fact that they had gotten something from their precious teacher.
By the time the two professors turned the corner to get onto the highway, the students finally managed to snap out of their daze. Gokudera rushed off to catch up with the two Professors, almost causing Yamamoto drop his drink to the floor due to the sheer amount of force created when the silver-haired student pressed the gas pedal. Gokudera passed any cars that were on the road like madman, going around each one as fast as possible, and not even caring that they were going way past the speed limit. By the time they caught up, Fong had already managed to get three miles away from their starting point. The students trailed behind the other car and noticed Tsuna turning around in his seat to wave back at the three with a smile. A few blushes sprouted on the three; Gokudera unintentionally swerved, before getting back on track.
As they reached the campus, Fong packed the car into the same area he usually did and got out, taking his bag with him. Soon after, Tsuna followed right behind on the other side, still carrying his drink; it was only half finished, which was quite rare. The three students parked beside them and immediately went to Tsuna's side, Gokudera immediately offering to carry his beloved's stuff.
"Ah, thank you, Gokudera." The brunet handed his things over and turned towards Fong for a moment. He stepped close enough and got onto his tippy toes so that he could get close to the older man's ear. A whisper passed between them, unheard by anyone, and suddenly Fong started laughing, pulling away.
"Tsuna! Really?" The Chinese man continued to laugh as he locked his door, clearly aware of the looks he was getting. "Sometimes I wonder why we're friends." Shaking his head, he held his drink in hand and his bag in the other. Slowly, he turned away and made his way towards his office, saying a quick goodbye to the brunet and students. Tsuna turned towards the trio and smiled. "Well? Shall we get going? I'm heading straight to class now. Haru, I have you today, correct?"
"Yep!" The female bounced as she grabbed her school bag. She went to her professor's left side since Gokudera had the right. Yamamoto just followed behind, having a large grin on his face, arms behind his head.
The day continued as normal, the regular people showing up, Dino, Reborn, even the students. This time, both Hibari and Mukuro showed up at the same time and for once, those two didn't bother fighting on sight, which was a norm between the two. They were too busy watching the professor. To many others that knew them, it was a divine miracle. Some even thought that hell has frozen over, or that the world was ending. The three students that had been following their beloved professor everywhere continued to watch the brunet, eyeing those that came close to the Professor.
Many of those on the list came near the Professor, even Spanner. For once, instead of sending a robot to do his bidding, he appeared before the brunet, in front of a crowd. The blond, as an alternative of placing a lollipop underneath the office, handed it over in person. Tsuna, smiling as usual, took it and opened the wrapper to place the candy into his mouth without any hesitation. He rolled the lollipop around with his tongue and reached up to pat Spanner on his head (even though he was shorter by a significant margin). It was amusing to see the blond blink at the treatment, then blush slightly.
Shoichi, even with all that shyness, managed to come up with Spanner's help, muttering a few words to Tsuna. People continued to crowd around the brunet soon after, giving hardly any chance for the three students to get around him. It wasn't until a couple of professors from the Generation came by to send them away, even Spade.
At that point, it got harder to follow the professor. During lunch, they lost him to the Generation group. As hours passed and next class came around, nothing else could be noted, even when Haru, Gokudera, and Yamamoto sat in Tsuna's class again. Before they knew it, the day had passed by; all that was left was for Tsuna to wait in his office for Fong to either call him or pick him up to head home.
"You three have been following me all day long today. What are you guys up to?" Tsuna muttered under his breath, sitting in his office with his stuff mostly packed up, ready for Fong's message to tell him it was time to go home. He leaned against his chair, glancing towards his computer now and then before going back to the students that were settled in front of his table. The Ethics professor stared hard at the students that been literally five steps behind him the whole day. When they didn't answer, he sighed. "You're all trying to find out who my boyfriend is, aren't you?"
The silence that came afterwards made it clear.
Tsuna sighed again, leaning back against his chair, and closed his eyes. "Look, this is my personal life and I don't exactly appreciate it when everyone is trying to intrude into it. Who I date with is my business. No one else needs to know." He reopened his eyes to glance down at his phone, checking for messages, before going back to his materials, putting more things away. Everything was almost packed up. Even the papers he was supposed to grade were inside his bag. "I mean, I know you're all curious and everything, but please stay out of my personal life. I've also heard that you're been pestering Fong for answers as well." The air around him suddenly got a dark and menacing, and he smiled towards his students. "If I hear from Fong that you're still bothering him, I won't be so nice with you anymore, okay?"
The students could only dumbly nod.
"Tsuna, you're not scaring them, are you?" A soft voice came from the doorway. "They're simply curious and anyway, they haven't really been bothering me all that much."
Tsuna's scary nature vanished immediately, and he chuckled. "Oh, come on, Fong. They're going to hassle you until you tell them my secret. You know what will happen if they find out. My poor boyfriend will get jumped!" He pouted, earning some squeals from Haru and a couple of blushes from the two male students from the sight. The Chinese man remained unaffected and leaned against the doorframe, shaking his head. His bag was in his right hand and his long braid had fallen over his shoulders.
"I highly doubt your boyfriend will need any worrying from you. The ones you need to worry about are the idiots that would dare try anything on him. I've seen him after all, he's stronger than I am." The Chinese and History professor came closer, switching his hold on his bag to his other hand. He made a nod towards the three students and smiled back at Tsuna. "Well, are you ready to go? I'm heading off to the store to pick up some bread. You might as well pick up some things you need at your place. Do you have any ideas?"
"I know I need milk. Ran out of that yesterday. Hmmm…" Tsuna closed his eyes, deep in thought. "I think I need to pick up a packet of shredded cheese too."
"Well, try to make a list in the meantime. I think I remembered a few when I was in your house this morning. You definitely need dish detergent; you don't have very much of that left." Fong stepped back when Tsuna walked over, carrying his own bag in one hand.
"Really? I didn't notice." The brunet turned towards his students and motioned them out. "Come on, I need to lock my door. You three can see me on Friday, I'll definitely be here. Also, just to remind you all once more, please stay out of my life. I really don't appreciate it when people poke into it. I like my solitude." As the students walked out, Tsuna handed his bag over to the other professor as he locked his door. Fong just smiled, used to this occurrence, and made his way down the hallway to press the elevator button. By the time the metal doors opened, Tsuna had finished locking up and rushed over to the elevator, which Fong was holding open for him. The brunet glanced towards his students, who were standing frozen to their spot. "Are you three coming in?"
Neither of them answered. They just shook their heads.
The two professors glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and allowed the doors to close.
"I never knew that Professor Sawada could be so frightening…" Haru whispered quietly, feeling like she wanted to cry.
"Of course Tenth can be scary. He's just that amazing!"
"I think this is the first time I've seen Professor Sawada so angry. He's always smiling. Still…" Yamamoto trailed off. "Let's not bother him anymore, I think we'd both like to stay on his good side."
"Yeah…"
So who do you think it is? Tell me your guesses. I demand to know what you're thinking.

A few blushes sprouted on the three; Gokudera unintentionally swerved, before getting back on track.
As they reached the campus, Fong packed the car into the same area he usually did and got out, taking his bag with him. Soon after, Tsuna followed right behind on the other side, still carrying his drink; it was only half finished, which was quite rare. The three students parked beside them and immediately went to Tsuna's side, Gokudera immediately offering to carry his beloved's stuff.
"Ah, thank you, Gokudera." The brunet handed his things over and turned towards Fong for a moment. He stepped close enough and got onto his tippy toes so that he could get close to the older man's ear. A whisper passed between them, unheard by anyone, and suddenly Fong started laughing, pulling away.
"Tsuna! Really?" The Chinese man continued to laugh as he locked his door, clearly aware of the looks he was getting. "Sometimes I wonder why we're friends." Shaking his head, he held his drink in hand and his bag in the other. Slowly, he turned away and made his way towards his office, saying a quick goodbye to the brunet and students. Tsuna turned towards the trio and smiled. "Well? Shall we get going? I'm heading straight to class now. Haru, I have you today, correct?"
"Yep!" The female bounced as she grabbed her school bag. She went to her professor's left side since Gokudera had the right. Yamamoto just followed behind, having a large grin on his face, arms behind his head.
The day continued as normal, the regular people showing up, Dino, Reborn, even the students. This time, both Hibari and Mukuro showed up at the same time and for once, those two didn't bother fighting on sight, which was a norm between the two. They were too busy watching the professor. To many others that knew them, it was a divine miracle. Some even thought that hell has frozen over, or that the world was ending. The three students that had been following their beloved professor everywhere continued to watch the brunet, eyeing those that came close to the Professor.
Many of those on the list came near the Professor, even Spanner. For once, instead of sending a robot to do his bidding, he appeared before the brunet, in front of a crowd. The blond, as an alternative of placing a lollipop underneath the office, handed it over in person. Tsuna, smiling as usual, took it and opened the wrapper to place the candy into his mouth without any hesitation. He rolled the lollipop around with his tongue and reached up to pat Spanner on his head (even though he was shorter by a significant margin). It was amusing to see the blond blink at the treatment, then blush slightly.
Shoichi, even with all that shyness, managed to come up with Spanner's help, muttering a few words to Tsuna. People continued to crowd around the brunet soon after, giving hardly any chance for the three students to get around him. It wasn't until a couple of professors from the Generation came by to send them away, even Spade.
At that point, it got harder to follow the professor. During lunch, they lost him to the Generation group. As hours passed and next class came around, nothing else could be noted, even when Haru, Gokudera, and Yamamoto sat in Tsuna's class again. Before they knew it, the day had passed by; all that was left was for Tsuna to wait in his office for Fong to either call him or pick him up to head home.
"You three have been following me all day long today. What are you guys up to?" Tsuna muttered under his breath, sitting in his office with his stuff mostly packed up, ready for Fong's message to tell him it was time to go home. He leaned against his chair, glancing towards his computer now and then before going back to the students that were settled in front of his table. The Ethics professor stared hard at the students that been literally five steps behind him the whole day. When they didn't answer, he sighed. "You're all trying to find out who my boyfriend is, aren't you?"
The silence that came afterwards made it clear.
Tsuna sighed again, leaning back against his chair, and closed his eyes. "Look, this is my personal life and I don't exactly appreciate it when everyone is trying to intrude into it. Who I date with is my business. No one else needs to know." He reopened his eyes to glance down at his phone, checking for messages, before going back to his materials, putting more things away. Everything was almost packed up. Even the papers he was supposed to grade were inside his bag. "I mean, I know you're all curious and everything, but please stay out of my personal life. I've also heard that you're been pestering Fong for answers as well." The air around him suddenly got a dark and menacing, and he smiled towards his students. "If I hear from Fong that you're still bothering him, I won't be so nice with you anymore, okay?"
The students could only dumbly nod.
"Tsuna, you're not scaring them, are you?" A soft voice came from the doorway. "They're simply curious and anyway, they haven't really been bothering me all that much."
Tsuna's scary nature vanished immediately, and he chuckled. "Oh, come on, Fong. They're going to hassle you until you tell them my secret. You know what will happen if they find out. My poor boyfriend will get jumped!" He pouted, earning some squeals from Haru and a couple of blushes from the two male students from the sight. The Chinese man remained unaffected and leaned against the doorframe, shaking his head. His bag was in his right hand and his long braid had fallen over his shoulders.
"I highly doubt your boyfriend will need any worrying from you. The ones you need to worry about are the idiots that would dare try anything on him. I've seen him after all, he's stronger than I am." The Chinese and History professor came closer, switching his hold on his bag to his other hand. He made a nod towards the three students and smiled back at Tsuna. "Well, are you ready to go? I'm heading off to the store to pick up some bread. You might as well pick up some things you need at your place. Do you have any ideas?"
"I know I need milk. Ran out of that yesterday. Hmmm…" Tsuna closed his eyes, deep in thought. "I think I need to pick up a packet of shredded cheese too."
"Well, try to make a list in the meantime. I think I remembered a few when I was in your house this morning. You definitely need dish detergent; you don't have very much of that left." Fong stepped back when Tsuna walked over, carrying his own bag in one hand.
"Really? I didn't notice." The brunet turned towards his students and motioned them out. "Come on, I need to lock my door. You three can see me on Friday, I'll definitely be here. Also, just to remind you all once more, please stay out of my life. I really don't appreciate it when people poke into it. I like my solitude." As the students walked out, Tsuna handed his bag over to the other professor as he locked his door. Fong just smiled, used to this occurrence, and made his way down the hallway to press the elevator button. By the time the metal doors opened, Tsuna had finished locking up and rushed over to the elevator, which Fong was holding open for him. The brunet glanced towards his students, who were standing frozen to their spot. "Are you three coming in?"
Neither of them answered. They just shook their heads.
The two professors glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and allowed the doors to close.
"I never knew that Professor Sawada could be so frightening…" Haru whispered quietly, feeling like she wanted to cry.
"Of course Tenth can be scary. He's just that amazing!"
"I think this is the first time I've seen Professor Sawada so angry. He's always smiling. Still…" Yamamoto trailed off. "Let's not bother him anymore, I think we'd both like to stay on his good side."
"Yeah…"
So who do you think it is? Tell me your guesses. I demand to know what you're thinking.
