I sighed as I looked out of the window. Today was bleak, I guess you could say that it matched my mood. Well… in a way it matched my mood since I was also a bit pissed. Apparently I can’t just be single without some stupid law getting in my way. Sighing once more I glared through the window, Stupid laws!
“If you stare any harder at that window you’re going to break it Tsuya.” Tsuna, my twin, said as he came into his office.
“Tsunnnaaaa It’s not faaaiiir! I don’t want to get married!”
“Being married is not that bad.”
“Yeah but you chose Kyoko to marry however I don’t get that option because I don’t choose anyone!”
Tsuna sighed before turning to me, “Tsuya, you know that there’s nothing you can do to get around this except pick your representative for all of the other suitors to go up against.” Suddenly a thought came to my mind which made me smirk. “Oh no, I know that look, what the hell have you come up with now?”
“I choose Reborn as my representative.”
“No!”
“Too bad I already chose~”
“Tsuya no! That’s an impossible task!”
“What is?” Asked the Mafioso of the hour as he came into Tsuna’s office.
I grinned and jumped onto his back, “You know I love you, right?”
Reborn smirked slightly, “What do you want this time?”
“Can you be my representative for when suitors come knocking?”
“No-!” Tsuna tried to interject.
“Sure.”
Cackling at Tsuna, I kissed Reborn’s cheek before jumping off of him and running off. Here goes to being a free woman the rest of my life!
Reborn’s Pov
Oh how Reborn was overjoyed. Ever since the curse had been broken and Verde found a way to speed up their aging the Mafioso had found his feelings toward Tsuya not as troubling. Of course ever since he had been forced into working for Tsuna he was strictly forbidden to have a relationship with the woman, under Tsuna’s annoying orders.
However now that Tsuya had picked him for her representative that meant he got a shot. Looking over at Tsuna who had his head in his hands, sitting behind his desk dejectedly, Reborn couldn’t help but smirk even more.
“Tsuya seriously needs to read fine print…” The Vongola Tenth muttered.
“Well should I see the list of suitors?”
“Reborn, just… gah whatever.” Tsuna tossed him the list and then probably went to go find his wife.
Reborn looked down at the long list of people and smiled, this was going to be good. Putting the list into his jacket pocket he then decided to go out and enjoy a victory espresso to mark the occasion. Chuckling once more he then thought about how his plans were once again working in his favor and had the deep desire to rub it in Colonello’s face.
Tsuya’s Pov
I grinned happily as I watched yet another suitor go down by Reborn’s hand-err- gun. He turned to look at me before tipping his hat slightly. Giggling slightly I smiled at him before he walked off to, presumably, do whatever he was before the challenge was issued. It had been a wonderful three months of being free after turning twenty-three and personally I was loving it!
“Tsuya we need to talk…” Tsuna said suddenly as he got up to look at me.
“What is it?”
“You are familiar with the rules of this correct?”
“What? I chose a representative to fight against my suitors as their challenge.”
“Yes but is that it?”
“Yes, there is nothing more… is there?”
Tsuna sighed and rubbed his face, “The rules also state that if three months go by then the representative may take the woman’s hand in marriage.”
“What?”
“It’s true Tsuya… if someone doesn’t defeat Reborn before the end of the week then he’s your husband.”
“B-but… Bianchi will murder me… I don’t want to die yet!”
“I’m sorry but you don’t have a choice. This was why I told you to be careful!”
Tears picked the corners of my eyes, “Why can’t I just remain single?” I whispered as I put my head on Tsuna’s shoulder.
“The laws just don’t work that way.”
“Obviously.”
Taking my head off of his shoulder I exited the room and then began to walk toward my room. Just as I rested my hand down on the door handle another one covered mine. I looked up and saw Reborn standing there smirking. Immediately anger course through me. Whipping to face him I went to punch him but like the great Mafioso he was Reborn caught my wrist. “You fucking knew! You bastard!” I screamed.
The smirk fell off of his face, “You didn’t?”
“No, I didn’t!”
“Why don’t you ever read the fine print?”
“Because it’s fine print!”
Reborn narrowed his eyes at my tearing up eyes. I was so angry at the moment that I couldn’t help but cry. My legs crumbled out from under me and I fell to the carpet, my wrist still in Reborn’s grip. The tears just kept spilling out of my eyes as my shoulders were wracked with sobs. Reborn sighed and then he picked me up into his arms. Opening the door to my room he walked over to the bed and set me down on it. “Dry your eyes, would you rather be with one of those bastards?” He asked.
“I’d rather not be with anyone…”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t wanna get hurt…”
Reborn tipped his hat back, “A man that breaks a woman’s heart like yours deserves to die.”
“Oh really? What guarantees that you won’t cheat on me like every other guy?”
“It really hasn’t occurred to you.”
I looked at him strange, “What do you mean?”
“You really are the sister of No-good-Tsuna.”
I stood up and smacked Reborn on the chest, “Just tell me you damned hitman!”
Reborn’s face suddenly came close to my face, a smirk on his, “I’ve been dropping hints to you for months and yet you never pick up on it.”
I blushed crimson, “No you haven’t!”
Reborn pushed me down further on the bed and then his lips were on mine. I was shocked at first but soon enough got into the swing of things. Gripping his arms I kissed him back. Soon enough we slid back on the bed and Reborn reached up and took his signature fedora off. Reborn grinned as he broke the kiss; I blushed and pressed my face into his suit. I really didn’t want to see his smug face.
Suddenly there was a knock on my door before it opened. “Hey Tsuya-hiiiieeeeeee!” My idiot brother slammed the door shut as Leon transformed into a gun and Reborn shot a single bullet right next to Tsuna’s head.
I chuckled at Reborn and brought his lips to mine once again. I guess I could get used to having this Mafioso as my husband. Well, I guess I didn’t really have a choice but I guess Tsuna was right, it wasn’t going to be so bad to be married~
