Hibari Kyoya:

It's Kyoya that he sees first that morning. The Skylark entering through his window before the sun starts to rise. Tsuna is about to complain about being woken up as such an ungodly hour, but a small package wrapped in dark purple wrapping paper that is set next to him gently on his bed silences the protests. He is gone the next second, leaving Tsuna all alone in his room with a present. What else could it be but a present? Deciding that his Cloud Guardian wouldn't give him something that would injure him on contact, he would much rather that it was himself that did the damage after all, Tsuna opens the present. Inside he finds something that he never expected. He now understands why Kyoya appeared so early, and why he was so gentle with the box. Inside, nestled into manny layers of padding and warmth, is a black-headed grosbeak. Tsuna didn't know where it came from, probably from the Skylark's last mission in America truthfully, but he feels happy that Kyoya thought of him. Then he sees the note:

Omnivore, this bird is named Tsubird. Take good care of her. Happy birthday.

Kyoya

Tsuna can't help but smile as he takes Tsubird out of her box and cuddles her so that she can be warmer during the cold October morning. And with that simple gift, he knows that his Cloud Guardian cares, and that he is thanking him for the freedom that Tsuna gives.

-------------------------

Gokudera Hayato:

Hayato is the next one he sees. Hayato comes at the slightly less ungodly hour of 8:00 AM to wake his boss up, only to open the door to find Tsuna already fully dressed with a bright orange bird with a black head and wings nestled into his hair. Seeing the purple wrapped box that was open on Tsuna's side table, he doesn't comment on the bird. Instead he walks away, knowing that he can find Tsuna in his office latter. It's about 9 o'clock that finds Hayato outside his boss' door with a small red wrapped box. Knocking on the wooden door, he hears the call to enter. And enter he does. The sight of Tsuna that greets him truly doesn't surprise Hayato it is the thing that usually isn't there that does. Tsuna is sitting at his desk doing paperwork. But the thing that isn't usually there is a small orange bird. It's flying around the room, poking its beak into just about anything that it could. Occasionally it would fly back to rest on Tsuna's head and every now and then, it would sing softly while nestled into Tsuna's hair. And every now and then, Tsuna would reach up to pet the little bird. When Hayato finally recovered from the slight shock that the little bird gave him, he noticed that his boss was smiling at him. Blushing slightly, Hayato walked over to Tsuna's desk and set down the stack of paperwork that he was carrying. And right behind that, he placed the small red wrapped box, leaving with a quiet 'Happy birthday'. Some time after Hayato left, Tsuna noticed the box, and smiled. Setting aside his pen, and with Tsubird joining him on his shoulder, he opened the present that his Storm left. Inside was a small necklace with an amber drop pendant that was wrapped in metal at the top. Tsubird flew off his shoulder as he lifted his arms to put the necklace on and let it hang down under his shirt. And he knows that he will always have his Storm's loyalty and that his Storm will always be there to offer his protection.

-------------------------

Yamamoto Takeshi:

The third person to give his present that day was Takeshi. The fun loving, baseball idiot was slightly nervous about that day. And the small blue box that he held. But what really surprised him, was the little bird that was sitting on his friend's shoulder at breakfast. The little thing was so cute sitting there, and it looked comfortable on Tsuna. Of course, no one was fooled by the fact that Kyoya was seemingly ignoring his boss. Everyone knew from who the bird came from. No one mentioned the necklace that was hanging under Tsuna's shirt either, and it was only after breakfast that Takeshi was able to get Tsuna alone so that he could give his present. The small box was pressed into the brunet's hand as Takeshi walked by with a cherry 'Happy birthday Tsuna' and was only opened when within the privacy of the Decimo's office. Inside the small blue box was a silver chain link bracelet with three blue sapphires, evenly spaced. It made Tsuna smile as he put it on, knowing that his Rain would always be there to offer his friendship.

-------------------------

Rokudo Mukuro:

Mukuro was next. Randomly popping into his office without so much as a by-your-leave. Tsuna's male Mist doesn't even know what the words 'personal space' mean, he is certain. However, this time Mukuro doesn't get into his personal space. All he does is laugh his creepy laugh, sets a box down on his desk, and disappears into his mist once more. After the mist has cleared from the room, Tsuna discovers that almost two thirds of his paperwork has disappeared as well. He doesn't ask where it has gone, knowing that if Mukuro doesn't do it, or destroy it, then Chrome would take care of it. While this doesn't happen often, it does happen enough for him not to worry about it getting done. At the end of the day, it will all be on his desk, completed. So instead of worrying about the missing paperwork, Tsuna turns his attention to the box that his male Mist left behind. It is wrapped in dark indigo paper, and when he opens it, he discovers an anklet, intricately made out of gold and jasper. He doesn't have to ask anyone what it means, and taking a moment to put it on, knows just what his male Mist is thanking him for, and as a slight repayment for the security that Tsuna gives to him, he has taken a great deal of paperwork away from his boss to be done by someone else. He isn't upset that he didn't hear a 'Happy birthday' from Mukuro, the man didn't celebrate his birth for years, and only started a few years after he was released from Vindicare, when Tsuna had managed to wheedle the day of his birth out of him. And then it took even more years before Mukuro wouldn't run when Tsuna tried to give him something for his birthday. So it didn't surprise him, nor did it hurt him, when Mukuro didn't say those two words.

-------------------------

Bovino Lambo:

Truth be told, it shouldn't surprise Tsuna that Lambo is actually rather shy about giving gifts as much as it did. Unfortunately, it only made Tsuna's anger towards the Bovino Familia grow. But that quickly disappeared when Lambo, all but crying, gave the present that he had painstakingly selected for his elder brother figure with a trembling 'Happy birthday Tsuna-nii'. Tsuna knew how much Lambo had wanted to surprise him with this gift, and he appreciated the effort put into getting it for him. When he opened the small green box to see a ring with a chalcedony gemstone set into it, he put it on right then and there in front of Lambo. And then hugged the younger, smaller boy, thanking him profusely for the gift that he had been given. He didn't let on to knowing that Lambo had taken up a part time job in order to pay for the ring without his brother knowing about it. They both knew that if Lambo had taken enough money out of his Vongola Bank account for the ring, then it wouldn't be as much of a surprise for his Tsuna-nii. Later that day, Tsuna called Kyoya and Mukuro into his office to give them a secret mission. They complained when they first entered the room, they complained even more when they realized that they would be working together. They stopped complaining when they realized what the mission was. Two days later, Lambo skipped into Tsuna's office while Kyoya was handing in a mission report for a different mission, and Mukuro was teasing Tsuna discreetly, to ask his Tsuna-nii if it would be okay if he went to the Bovino Familia gathering that was being held three weeks from then that he had been invited to. Tsuna agreed as long as Lambo took one of the elder Guardians for transportation and back up in case of emergency. After Lambo cheerfully agreed to the terms that his elder brother had lain out for him and left in search of someone who would agree to come with him, Mukuro and Kyoya both sent Tsuna a knowing look that Tsuna responded with "What he doesn't know won't hurt him." and that was that on that matter. Tsuna swore the day that Lambo gave him the ring he had painstakingly chosen, that Tsuna would always be there for his little brother, even if Lambo's own blood relations wouldn't be. After all, Lambo had needed a family, and Tsuna had given him one. Lambo needed the support that a young child not even ten needed, and Tsuna had given it to him without expecting anything in return. In the end, he got far more out of it than he ever thought possible. The ring that Lambo gave him on his twenty fifth birthday was later buried with him when he died. A promise given and kept. A promise of everlasting family.

-------------------------

Dokuro Chrome:

Chrome is after Lambo. So far, she is the only one that has brought two presents, both wrapped in light indigo wrapping paper. Her quiet 'Happy birthday Bossu' is no where near as shy as it use to be, and it makes Tsuna happy. Tsuna knows that Chrome will never be loud like Ryohei, nor as creepy as Mukuro. But every single one of Vongola's enemies know that there are four people you don't want to cross no matter what. One is obviously Tsuna, the next two are also obviouss: Mukuro and Kyoya. But the fourth one is not one that you would expect. Quiet, meek-looking, shy, timid Chrome had proven to many people that you should never judge a book by its cover, and steadfastly refuses to give up her place as fourth on the list of Vongola's Most Scary Guardians. Many a person has been sent to an insane asylum because they messed with the wrong guardian. Needless to say, after the first dozen or two, people started to learn that you couldn't push around the female Mist. However, all the other Guardians knew that no matter what the female Mist does, she will always be on the side of Tsuna. So truly, it is no surprise that when he opens up the first gift of the two that she has given him, he finds a pair of amethyst earrings. Considering she is one of the few people who know that Tsuna's ears were pierced, it isn't a really suppressing gift. And when she explains that the earrings would automatically hide him in her strongest illusions when he was seriously injured until he found help or until help found him, he knew that she would always protect the people who made her who was was with everything that she had. After all, they were the ones who accepted her when her own parents wouldn't. It was when he opened the second present that he understood why she was the sixth person to give their gift, when usually she would compete with Takeshi on who could give their gift first. Inside the indigo wrapped second present lay a small green bird bed. It occurred to him that this was the reason that he hadn't seen his female Mist since breakfast. She had seen Tsubird, and decided that the little thing needed a bed. And Tsuna also understood what this bed meant. To Chrome, it meant many things; it meant that she was happy in the home that she had built with Tsuna and the others, it also meant that she held hope for her present and her future. It also meant, to Tsuna at least if no Chrome, that she was thankful for the hope that he had given her in their shared past. Chrome's 'Happy birthday Bossu' is the quietest so far, but he knows that that doesn't mean it holds any less than what all the other's 'Happy birthday's held.

-------------------------

Sasagawa Ryohei:

Truth be told, Tsuna should have expected Ryohei's present to come with near deafening noise, and a lot of EXTREMEness. It was only natural after all. However, what he didn't expect was the small yellow wrapped box that was presented to him along with a note. For one, the box was small. For another, there was a note. The simple fact that his Sun Guardian had taken the time to sit down and write a note touched Tsuna. Ryohei didn't even stay around long enough for him to see Tsuna open the present that he had given the brunet. But that was his style. He likely had something else to do that involved a lot of training. Of who? He didn't dare think about that. But when he opened the box, he found inside a small golden bracelet with small pebbles of apatite on it. Even if he didn't quite understand his Sun Guardian that well, he did understand what he was trying to tell him.

Have an extreme birthday Ototo!

Ryohei

All Tsuna could do was smile. Ryohei's bracelet joined Takeshi's on his wrist. Tsuna knew that the boxer was thanking him for giving the white-haired teen a quiet, calm place to return to after a day of what-ever-the-boxer-does-in-his-free-time.

-------------------------

Reborn:

Reborn's gift was as much of a shock as it was heartwarming. And Tsuna doesn't have to read the note to know who it is from. The dark yellow wrapping paper, and the small bullet casing is enough of a hint. But nothing that the brunet had prepare himself for, had prepared him for the surprise he received when he opened the present from the hitman. He knew that he was caught looking at the bracelet in the store, but he didn't realize that the hitman had made a note of the style that it was. I was as plain as day that this wasn't the original that he had been looking at, this one was gold and had diopside as the gemstone, the original was bronze and had white opals as its gemstone. But that only made it more precious to the Decimo. Knowing that the ex-arcobaleno would always be there for him, no matter what. And just the hint of the hitman's devotion towards him, made Tsuna smile.

-------------------------

Xanxus:

It's almost midnight before Tsuna finds the gift that Xanxus has given him. It's in a small dark red box on his night stand, and Tsuna will admit that he feels kinda warm and fuzzy inside when he figures out who it is from. Of course, he will never tell Xanxus about what he felt, the man would only call it a sign of weakness and shoot him. And Tsuna knows that Xanxus would never admit to giving the gift to Tsuna, on pain of death. That doesn't stop the feelings though. So when he opens the box and finds that it is small, but intricate ring with an black onyx set into the top, he can't help but see the irony of the situation. And he is certain that Xanxus sees it too, after all the man is nothing if not hostile. But Tsuna knows the true meaning of the ring. And he knows that he will always persevere through all of the troubles coming his way.

-------------------------

Onyx: Happy birthday Tsuna! And know that it isn't just your family that loves you!

Raven: That is true, all your fans love you.

Erri: And all your Ukeness!

Onyx: Erri! You weren't supposed to say that!

Erri: Oh well!

Ruisu: What's done is done. And besides Onyx, it is true for most.

Day: Girls.

Night: What was that Day?

Day: Nothing Night!

Night: That's what I thought.

Onyx: So, which part was your favorite one? I personally like them all! I mean, I just can't decide on just one.

Night: I think that mine would be Mukuro's.

Onyx: Because it sounds like something that you would do?

Night: *Slight blush* N-N-No! It's nothing like that!

Onyx: Umhm. Sure it isn't.

Raven: I like Chrome's the best. Just the message that she is sending, and the way that she sends it!

Day: I actually like Xanxus' surprisingly.

Raven: What does that mean?!

Day: I didn't think that I would like anything to do with Xanxus, but I did.

Ruisu: Honestly? I feel more of a connection with Reborn's than any of the others. It sounds like something that I would do, and I can relate to Reborn in that moment.

Erri: Lambo's.

Day: You're only saying that because you're the one who wrote it!

Erri: No, I am not. I am saying that because it really rings true to me. Think about it! Lambo is this little kid who has basically been abandoned by his family before he was even ten! If that happened to you, what do you think you would do if you were given a family that would take care of you and love you unconditionally?

Onyx: Now, now, guys. Settle down. As for why we only put the Guardians, Reborn, and Xanxus; we wanted to be able to post this today, and not sometime next week. And if we put everyone giving Tsuna their presents in their own way, that would take way to long. BUT! Next year, we plan on doing some of the others' plans for Tsuna birthday! So stay tuned everyone! Bye!
