Days passed, and Hito learned about lighting the Vongola Rings with a sort of will in your heart.
It was discovered when the blonde went out to save Kyoko from a Millefiore member--Tazaru.
Tsuna was there, but no one knew since the brunet hid his flames and stuck to the shadows.
The ex-Decimo smiled softly at the results, tugging slightly at the cuffs of his sleeves; the brunet changed back into a suit on the first day in the future.
"Hm~things are starting to become interesting..."
~~
So past Kyoko, Haru, Lambo, and I-pin were safely brought back to HQ. Tazaru and Nosaru went back to their own HQ, probably reporting to Gamma.
Tsuna was already back at Vongola HQ, sipping some green tea in the kitchen as Hito came in with the girls and the kids.
~~
"This happened in your world also?"
"Yep..."
Smack! "Darn idiot..."
"Geez...Reborn, there wasn't any other choice."
"That doesn't matter. A mafia boss must always be ready with a plan."
"And I was--I was ready with a plan." Tsuna sighed softly. "I'm sure Hito-kun made the same choice I have made in the past."
His eyes grew a bit pained as he took a sip from the mug of coffee in his hand.
"We all grew stronger...but I put everyone in so much danger..."
The brunet grit his teeth slightly as he clutched his mug; a small crack formed, causing the ex-Decimo to quickly lessen the pressure of his grip when he realized that he was about to break it.
Reborn studied his student, taking a sip from his cup of espresso before hopping into the brunet's hair.
Tsuna huffed in amusement as the two sat in a comfortable silence in the kitchen.
"Would you want me to tell you the possible plan that Hito-kun made?"
"Nope."
The brunet lifted a curious eyebrow.
"Why not?"
Reborn smirked.
"I would like to see what my stupid student has come up with."
Tsuna chuckled as he finished off the last of his coffee.
"I see..."
~~
Gamma met Takeshi and Hayato, defeating the two easily.
Tsuna watched in the shadows, clenching his hands into fists tightly enough to make them bleed slightly; he couldn't interfere just yet.
He relaxed when future-Kyoya came in, saving the two Guardians from a possible death.
The brunet smiled wryly at his hands and quickly healed them with Sun flames.
'I shouldn't worry this much.' He saw Kyoya wipe the floor with Gamma; his lips quirked up slightly into a smile. 'I believe in my Guardians.'
~~
"H-Hibari-san is almost like another R-Reborn..."
Hito winced as Tsuna applied a salve to the blonde's forehead; the brunet laughed at the comparison the teen made.
"Hm~not all the time..." Hito raised a curious eyebrow as Tsuna chuckled. "Kyoya-kun has a soft spot for some things."
Hito's eyes widened as his jaw dropped.
"Th-That's impossible..."
Tsuna laughed again, wrapping a bandage around the blonde's arm.
"Well~Kyoya-kun has a soft spot for..." Hito perked up. "...small animals."
Hito fell backwards, groaning when he hurt his back.
Tsuna chuckled before helping the teen up.
"Is it that surprising?"
"Yes!"
Tsuna then laughed loudly, clutching his stomach as tears rolled down his cheeks.
Hito blinked in surprise.
He had seen the brunet laugh evilly, or chuckle softly--but never loud, natural laughter.
Slowly, the blonde started to laugh along with Tsuna--not caring if his injuries throbbed a little.
Outside of the training room, Reborn was smiling softly, listening to their laughter.
"Looks like you're loosening up, Tsuna..."
