[Action for roommates]
[Tsuna has learned over the course of Reborn's tutelage to expect the unexpected. But somehow he still never does. So his first reaction to waking up in an unfamiliar room that looks nothing like any of the rooms in their base is to jump out of bed in surprise.]
Reborn! Where-?
[Only to discover two very interesting facts.
First

He hears a noise coming from somewhere in the vicinity of the house, but he can't exactly put his finger on it. His first thought was to instantly assume it was Hibari doing... whatever Hibari did. Either way, since he doesn't have anything particularly interesting to do yet, Gokudera decides to venture out of his room in the set of clothing he borrowed from his housemate to see what is going on.
But then he hears a voice, a voice he could recognize from a mile away. Without hesitation, he barges into one of the previously vacant room where he is sure he'll find the answer to a very prominent question in his mind. A single word slips smoothly out of his mouth with such familiarity, it almost seems like he says it quite frequently.] ...Tenth!
[and, within a mere second of saying that word, he crosses the distance between them, grabbing him by the shoulders with a look of blatant bewilderment] What are you doing here?! You're supposed to be back in the future. [pause] Our future in our world! [another pause] And why are you ( ... )

[Tsuna doesn't have much time to register his surprise before Gokudera is holding him by the shoulders. There's little time to get a word in edgewise. And it's the ten-year-later version too? The last time Tsuna had seen him was when Tsuna had just arrived in the future,and they'd had only a few minutes to talk. Making this... kind of awkward.]
I..... don't know.
[At least his questions all have the same answer. Unfortunately, he raises a good point. They needed everyone to face the Millefiore. How far would they get without him? Suddenly Tsuna feels even worse about his situation. He shakes his head.]
S-sorry. I just woke up here. I don't really know much about what's going on....

And, at the very sight of the discomfort on the younger Boss' face, he knows he has to do it now. There is no point in making him feel guilty about what has happened, or scare him by his sudden outburst either. Taking a deep breath, Gokudera manages to relax himself enough to loosen his grip on his shoulders, albeit remaining to keep his hold on him.
He is worried about the future. That isn't a question that needed to be asked. But he can't help a sense of... comfort and happiness surfacing within him at having Tsuna by his side again. Even if it is the child version of him.
Clears his throat.] Ah! Sorry Tenth. [weary smile] I overreacted. [rubs the back of his neck] It's just surprising to see you here.
[averts his gaze momentarily, muttering under his breath in a bitter tone] Those goddamn rulers sure know how to play a joke...
[then, just as soon as he had looked away, he redirects his attention back to his Boss] Why don't we, uh, try to find you something... more comfortable to wear? I can answer ( ... )

Then again, he wouldn't put it past the foolish rulers to drag the boy from one of the most critical points in the future to this pathetic place, on a whim. This would mean that everything would be up to younger generation to work out without their precious boss to hold them together.
But this meant that the need to find a way back their world became even more urgent - he silently noted that he needed to check up on Irie Shouichi to see how the redhead was going with creating a way out of this world.]

Don't worry about it. I was just as surprised to see you....
[Especially the older version.... He glances at Hibari, wondering why he hadn't clarified that earlier. And then turns back to Gokudera at the mention of clothes. That is relevant to his interests.]
Yeah, that would probably help. [Sigh] Why did they want me to be a girl, anyway?
Reply
[Honestly, he does not know how to answer that question appropriately. Given the same situation with someone else, he'd definitely have a witty and sarcastic comment to make on the reason why they're submitted to such a devastating wardrobe. But, since it's the Tenth, he decides it'd be better if he just shuts up altogether.
And he does it by tactfully changing the course of the discussion towards the Cloud Guardian who is conveniently nearby.] Hey, Hibari. You don't happen to have an extra set of clothing on you, do you? [trains his eyes on him like a hawk]

Hee hee.
Hoo hoo.
Haa haa.]
No.
[So deadpan.]
Reply
Umm, d-don't worry about it, Hibari-san. I'm sure I can find something. They must have stores around here, right?
Reply
Then again, he doesn't know if there are actually stores around here since he hasn't exactly stepped out of the house yet. The rain kind of prevented any exploration from happening.]
They gave us money, so I'm guessing there should be shops. [questioning glance at the Silent One]
Reply
[Suck that, Sawada. Oh, he can hear knocking at the front door. Let's go see who it is.]

OI! DECIMO! Hm?
[Oh, good. His guardians. Less shit he has to explain to the kid... who is... very tiny. This clothes will not fit him at all.- but at least he's got some pants.
G tosses over the tunic and pants, and hands over a pair of large clunky boots. He himself is barefoot, he hadn't bothered getting another pair of shoes. He was rather used to walking around barefoot anyway.]
Not gonna fit you, but it's better than a dress....you can probably just roll up the sleeves... and tie the pants up with somethin'...
[Yup, he's just going to disregard the other guardians for now. This is his business with the Decimo]
Reply
[It figures. It's really just his luck that the whole place is apparently going to assume he wants to dress like a Kansas farm girl.]
Is that just clothes, or is that everything?
[And, hey look. It's that guy he talked to earlier. Which will at least give him a temporary solution to the clothes problem. Even if the clothes are way too big. Especially the boots. But anything is better than sparkly red heels.]
Thanks, G-san. I'll return them as soon as I figure out how to get more.
[He'd kind of been assuming there'd be shops, but now it looked like he'd have to get creative with his purchasing.]
Reply
Does that mean all he can purchase are robes? He really needs to find out if that's all Titans wear or else he is going to need to get his hands on a sewing kit. Fuck. Him. Sewing.]
We can go check it out later if you want, Tenth. If it's based on what our denizens possess, maybe we might find some useful items.
[attention snaps instantly towards the new arrival] G. [Looks a bit surprised, but he doesn't have any complaints about the intrusion. After all, he brought clothes for his Boss.
It doesn't stop him from welcoming the redhead with a flat tone though.] Hello. Funny seeing you here. How are you? Great. I'm fine, too. Glad you asked. Come right on in.

[dsfljkadhfl;kjadfhlajkdf This is becoming way too crowded.... His scowl darkens as the First Storm Guardian just walks in; you know, there's approximately three seconds before he--
WHAM. Sorry 'dera, you just got kicked in the face by one angry Hibari. And he shall now retreat to his room to get away from this little gathering. Ugh.]
Reply
It's fine Decimo. Keep them as long as you want. I've got more clothes, it doesn't bother me.
[Besides it's better than a robe... speaking of, oh the Decimo's storm guardian got punted. What. A. Pity.
...
Is that a snicker? Maybe. Sucks to be you Tenth Generation storm guardian. Well you're still getting ignored for now, back to the Decimo.]
There anything else you need, kid?
