Quietly Reborn parked the car and quietly moved to let Tieria out of the passenger seat. He was tired, but he had been given a favor. The letter was tucked securely into the breast pocket of his jacket and his fedora was in place. People walking by moved a little faster once he stood up and they saw those dark bored eyes.
Upon entering and sitting down treating Tieria to whatever he wanted (not because he had to. Just because he liked to treat him sometimes), and they waited. Once Tsuna came in he just raised an eyebrow and then snorted softly motioning to Tieria. "That's the boy in the picture."
Tsuna looked like he lived up to the information that he had dug up in his file. He looked young, he looked everything that his father had said he was. How is this boy supposed to have something special if he can't even dress himself properly... "I feel a migraine coming on
( ... )
Tieria raised an eyebrow at the disheveled boy near-on running towards their table.
"You're the one who accepted the favor," he muttered quietly into his (black) coffee, taking a sip. "And he's a real winner."
He checked his watch quickly and set his coffee down, crossing his arms. The look he gave the boy as he arrived at the table was nothing short of completely condescending.
Turn back Tsuna, turn back before it’s too late, His inner warning system went off. This wasn’t right and every muscle in his body grew tight as he got a good look at the two. The dark one had an ominous aura, the black suit, his posture, and the old fashion fedora. The other male had that arrogant aura around him but none the less could be as dangerous as the dark one.
These were the type of people Tsuna ran from and refused to be noticed by. The boy licked his dry lips before limping over. He would politely refuse and go back to his normal,semi normal life as a delivery boy.
”I’m sorry that I’m late,” Tsuna gave a quick Japanese influence bow. He would wait for introductions, they would say what they wanted from him, and Tsuna would refuse. It was simple enough, plus they didn’t look too please with the situation; so they would want to dump him as fast as possible...right? Father why do you insist on doing this to me?
Taking the file out he looked to the boy. "Sit down." It was a command and Reborn looked annoyed as he played with the tab part of the folder. Once Tsuna had sat down he flipped open the folder.
"Full name is Sawada Tsunayoshi and your twenty two years old. Your nick name from when you were young was No Good Tsuna and you were never able to get more than an 18 on all your tests in jr. high and high school. You flunked out of high school and never confessed to the girl you liked. You aren't good at sports, graceful and have nothing going for you...No hope." Looking at a few more papers Reborn's lips quirked as he chuckled. "Wow what a case."
He seemed a little more amused. "Well no good Tsuna. Your father sent me this letter..." He took out the letter from his breast pocket and tossed it infront of Tsuna. "Your father once saved my life...So I owe him a boon, and he wants me to educated you and turn you into a better person that is worthy of climbing the ranks of his chosen profession. Yes...He wants you to be a good mafia man...
( ... )
"Unfortunately," Tieria said, entering the conversation with the younger man for the first time, "I am required to help you with your studies." He smiled in a charming manner, almost childishly adorable, and continued, "And trust me, Tsunayoshi, you will not be failing again."
He took another slow sip of his coffee, then signaled the waitress for the tab. "Now, I believe we've been here twenty minutes too long already. Our car is in the lot." He stood, handing the waitress money from his wallet -- Reborn's money, obviously -- and gestured towards the door. "After you." He smiled again, that sweet, innocent smile that looked completely wrong with the hard, cold tone of his voice.
Actually, it was just sort of creepy. But, then again, the boy deserved it. It was Tieria's, I'm this close to killing you, or myself, or both, you already-on-my-bad-list shit.
This was it, the light behind Tsuna’s eyes flicked for a moment before dying. Reborn’s words took what self confidence he had gained away. (It was a little but it was at least something) No hope rang in his ears over and over again. Meeting Yamamoto again, making a friend with Ken, and even talking with Dino amounted to nothing in front of these strangers.
Strangers had all the information about his life, his secrets, his failures, and if any successes.
It unnerved him, but did it make him angry? Possibly, but his head was duck down, taking each one of Reborn's comments like an arrow in the back. This was him though; he was no good, a failure, and what was having these men as a tutors going to change?
nothing.
Tsuna looked up at Tierra and slowly understood those words, he couldn’t escape. They were going to force him one way or another. The boy licked his lips again as he tried to find the words to fight. pick your battles Tsuna, that was what your father told you…. With no hope in sight Tsuna stood with his tail tuck between
( ... )
Standing up and looking at Tsuna he just sighed gently he shook his head and Reborn licked his lower lip. Seeing that Tsuna's will to fight was completely destroyed he moved over, "Come on...Tsuna." The hand negated the cold voice...His touch was gentle and comforting.
He didn't want to totally scare Tsuna, but he didn't want him thinking he could walk all over him and that he was going to get away with mediocrity anymore. Reborn had been asked to take on Tsuna as a student and he had grown up with those kids...This one he hardly knew so it was hard to form an emotional attachment.
Once them moved outside and Tsuna and Tieria were in the car, Reborn slid back into the back and handed Tsuna the file on himself. "I have no further use for this. I've proved my point...If I have to do so again. I will not be as forth coming or nice next time. I hope you realize that you will be under my care until you become a good mafia man."
Tieria drove them quickly back to the mansion, sliding the car out onto the roads skillfully. He preferred to drive himself when the situation allowed for it, and Reborn indulged that
( ... )
The boy was terrified, but not for the reasons Reborn couldn’t guess or understand. His life, the life he had been trying to create for the past four years was slipping through his fingers. It was just like when his father picked him up and moved him here all over again. He didn’t want that, he wanted to stay rooted to stay with the friends he was making. It wasn’t fair, what was he going to tell them
( ... )
Watching Tsuna he wasn't about to let the other throw a fit or pout like he was doing so gently he cuffed the boy and sighed, "Quit pouting. It's not going to do anything...You know after your training you will be able to go back to your normal life. If you do well that is..."
He wasn't sure Tieria would be cut out for helping him with Tsuna at all. Reborn could handle it and he knew that Tieria would just discard Tsuna if he didn't prove useful. Thinking on this Reborn leaned back messing with his fedora as Leon clung to the brim of the hat looking a little more than annoyed with his partner as he finally relaxed.
Reborn shut his eyes his head leaning back as he sighed. He let Tieria do what he wanted to a point...But, it was going to get to that point sooner or later when Reborn would have to remind Tieria of their relationship sooner or later. He appeared to be asleep and that was what he wanted both Tieria and Tsuna to think...So he would just relax that way.
I don't want to deal with a pissy Tieria or a whining brat....
Tieria walked slowly back towards the mansion. Reborn would want to bring Tsuna in himself, and his studies wouldn't begin until the next day -- he had yet to meet Syaoran for training, after all. And the tone in the boy's voice as he'd thanked him -- it had been both resignation, and strength.
And that was exactly what Tieria had been waiting for. If you can't change a situation, you accept it, and make the best of it. Shows strength of character. And that was just what he wanted in a pupil, if he was to have a pupil.
Perhaps the boy could manage to grow on him. Perhaps he could manage to impress him. Now it was up to Tsunayoshi.
He wasn’t pouting; okay maybe he was pouting a little but for being cuffed. Tsuna watched Reborn sleep until they were out of the car, then he would reply. Eyes closed and head held high spoke in soft tone, “I’m not pouting, I’m trying to think of away to not be No good No Hope Tsuna.” Slowly he opened one eye to look at Reborn quoting his father, “There is no going back on a one way road, there is no undoing the truth of what you are, this is the path we walk on.” He watched Teiria leave, he had a lot of work to do to prove himself.
Tsuna gave a soft sigh and looked up at the older man with a smile; he was one who recovered quickly. “So are you going to show me around?”
"pfft." Reborn looked to Tsuna as he turned, "Hurry up ...If you can't keep up I'm tossing you out on your ass and setting out the pitbulls." Yes. What a pleasant person that was supposed to give a rats ass about Tsuna and his health and standing. Once they approached the front door he opened it
( ... )
The boy couldn’t help but stare at Reborn at each and every death threat. Something in his gut told him that Reborn would hold each and every one of those true and that terrified the new student.
He noted each and every place and still was amazed by the size. Then he was absolutely floored when they reached his room. Tsuna walked in half listening to Reborn’s words as he wandered around the large space. “Mr. Reborn… This is huge…I…” Tsuna moved to face Reborn. His face was a mix of astonishment, gratitude, a hint of respect, and a smidge of curiosity. He would still get to see Yamamoto, Ken, and Dino, that made his heart flutter for a moment. That was the most important thing to him.
The boy closed his eyes, “Thank you.” Then he opened them, still as innocent as ever, “I will do my best…I didn’t want to be No Good Tsuna forever, so this is my chance right?” A smile spread a crossed his lips, “Don’t worry I don’t plan on telling anyone that I’m even here…they would worry too much and ask too many questions.”
"you didn't get to eat ...right? So come on I'll fix you something." Reborn didn't even respond to the thanks. He was used to hearing it and not only that but he was used to hearing empty promises. Tsuna had a lot to live up to as one of Reborn's students. Also with Kristoph and the others watching him, Reborn knew there was no room for slip ups.
It wasn't every day that Reborn cooked either, but when he did he took off his fedora, his jacket and his tie pushing up the white sleeves. He had been taught everything that a man should know to be acceptable. One of those was culinary arts when he was younger. While he didn't need them all the time, he certainly didn't hate having them.
The boy watched him and the ritual looking transformation. A small smile crept up to his lips as he took in the sight. Reborn looked more normal? No, that wasn’t it, maybe it was that he looked less intimidating. The smile grew as Reborn asked him what to eat.
”can you cook…pizza with mayo?” It was something he could never get in the city.
