Young Father 《KHR Fanfiction》

°•°• 11 •°•°

"You looked upset... what happen?" Byakuran asked the brunet who's walking closer to him with what apparently he dubbed as hidden frown-- though, well it's actually quite obvious that he's troubled.

Haru was also curious seemingly she never saw him like that, so she listened carefully as he opened his mouth, "that was Kyo-kun's teacher. She caught him fighting with another kid, and their parents wanted to talk to me regarding that."

"Kyo-kun?" Haru questioned, but wasn't really heard, upon Byakuran's next word.

"I always knew that he's one of the rebellious type. But I never think that he'll cause any fire this soon..." Tsuna hummed in agreement.

"Either way, I need to be there as soon. So, can you please cover me for a while? I'll promise you a popsicle later on" The albino hummed, faking on contemplating with his decision where the gear in his head is actually cooking another strategy as he played as cupid.

"I'll give up the treat if you take Haru-chan with you"

"Huh?"

"What?" --the two responded. But the albino just snickered.

"Well, she can play as the mother for a bit. Plus, I'm sure that she's curious about who's this 'Kyo-kun'. You never told her that you're now a father, right?"

"A-A father???" Haru squeaked in low stutter, shocked at the new discovery. All the meanwhile, Tsuna hummed again.

"True that. But doesn't she has somewhere else to be?" He asked back. It's not that he disliked the idea of her coming along-- they were very close back in the high school days, afterall. But perhaps the timing wasn't the best--

"Actually, I don't need to go to Hannei-chan's place before noon. So, I still have time... N-Not that I want to pressure you to take me along or anything. It's just... maybe you'd like to have a company?" that editor asked with a blush that somehow manage to go unnoticed by the brunet.

"Well, as long you're okay with it, I guess..." --of course Tsuna wouldn't dare to turned her down after seeing her pair of sparkling eyes which is filled with hope... Nope. He couldn't. Plus, he must admit that her relieved smile afterward was rather cute.

And so, she tagged along as Tsuna drives all the way back to Namimori Elementary school...

"So... I don't know that you have a kid, Tsuna-san" Haru started the conversation so that the silent won't be too awkward for both of their sake.

Tsuna chuckled while eyes still firmly glued to the road, "it's rather sudden for me as well, but now I have seven kids under my care. Six boys and a girl. Kyo-kun... or rather, Kyoya-kun, is my second eldest."

"That's... so many children. But what happened to their parents?" --Because his words just now, implied that these kids weren't originally his. Or at least that's what she could interpret.

Tsuna was silent as his face dropped a little despite how his smile is still present, "I'd rather not talk about them..."

"--oh, sorry..."

"Don't be. It's just... I don't think that you should know further than that I am now, their legal guardian." Haru just nodded understanding the line she almost crossed.

"Well... you know that I used to babysit our neighbors' kids back in the days. So, if you need my help about anything, please don't hesitate to ask" Haru offered her help with a smile as Tsuna hummed in response.

"Actually, if you may. Then I could use your help." He said with a blush began to forming.

"Yes?" She encouraged him to continue.

"So, uh... as I did mention before, I have six sons and a daughter now. And I need to buy them some swimsuits. Now, I know, that Nagi-chan cannot use b-bikinis-- Still! I have to buy her something that, not just cute, but also comfortable. Which due to my lack of experience, I need someone's help. Preferably from a girl..." he trailed at the end of his rant as he shyly glanced at her. Haru, on the other hand, is torn between wanting to squeal or laugh, which she ends up not to do either and just politely smile.

"Sure! I have some time tomorrow. How about we meet up at 12 PM at Ichigo mall?" Tsuna's smile brightens at that.

"Alright then... and thank you, Haru-chan."

"No problem, friends help each other right?" In which as much she wanted to be more than that, she knows that it's better than nothing.

"Right..."

Tsuna's blinding smile at that time would be forever crafted in her mind...

After 15 minutes of driving, they finally arrived at the school. Haru asked to just stay in the car, so that there'll be no misunderstanding in involved too, and Tsuna respected her reason. Now, since they used to learn here, Tsuna easily find his way to the office where his son is sitting on the chair, where a crying girl and her fumming mother is sitting on the other side. The teacher smiled at his arrival.

"Please, take a seat, Sawada-san..." and so he did... rubbing his son's back, despite how he keeps casting his gaze away with a deepened scowl.

"So... may I ask you on what is this all about?" Tsuna asked politely. Yet before the teacher could speak out a word, the said mother already exploded next to his ear...

Whereas, as if there's a switch got flicked on by that, he went into a full fatherly mode in that instant. The moment she opened her mouth, he knew that this is no longer a small fight between the children.

This. Is. War!!!
