~<past>~

When reborn arrived at his apartment, he tried waking tsuna up, "oi,dame-tsuna...wake up" reborn called, he shook tsuna but he didn't wake up, he even thought of using Leon to wake him but, it might damage his car.

He slid his hands to tsuna's back then the other hand under the younger's thighs and picked him up, "you... for a grown man, you sure are light" he said then proceed to the elevator and push the top floor button.

But when they reach the lobby, two woman came in, obviously trying to flirt with reborn even if he had a person in his arms, the two women click the button two floors before him, so it might take a while.

Its getting irritated he kissed tsuna on the lips then looked at the two woman, " sorry, I'm with this boy" he said.

The two women then look at them with disgust, the door opened and its finally the girls floor, they got out leaving tsuna and reborn.

"Those girls sure are troublesome" he said, the opened again and its finally his stop.

He got off then opened his door," you're too light, you should eat some more".

He put tsuna to bed and was about to leave when tsuna pulled on his nape, "no, don't leave me, please" he said while half asleep.

Reborn sighed then wait a little before tsuna let go of him.

He put the food they bought to the fridge then went back to bed with tsuna.

"You're troublesome,too" he said then sat on the bed and picked up a book on the night stand.

He looked down when he felt a a weight over his lap, he saw tsuna's arm on it.

He smiled then caresses tsuna's head.

~<Back to present>~

Now its gokudera's turn to take care of tsuna, and they're currently in his(gokudera's) room.

Tsuna sat on a high chair while watching gokudera restock his bombs and other weapons,"juudaime, after I finish this, is there a place where you want to go?" He said then smile at tsuna.

tsuna smiled, "then, can we go to the zoo?" tsuna said while looking up at gokudera.

the older smiled and nodded, "as you wish, juudaime" he said and quickly finished his job, changed to a casual clothes to blend in the crowd, but still hiding his weapons here and there, wearing a plain red shirt with a while long sleeve tug to the bottom of his elbow and dark jeans, and rubber shoes.

Meanwhile, he dressed tsuna in a lion jacket with it's mane as a hoodie, a white shorts and small rubber shoes, and also pack some necessities, like extra clothes, water, snacks and toys in the youngers backpack with a cat print, which doubles as a tracking device, even if theres already on tsuna's jacket, gokudera is just that much prepared for a small trip.

When gokudera packed everything else, he caried tsuna to his red porche, which every guardians have with their respective attributes, they were gifts from the decimo himself as rewards for working without destroying another city after a mission, they all refuse at first so, tsunayoshi settled it for a duel, which his guardian was defeated without being harmed by their sky, anyway, back to the story. Gokudera went to the back of the car and placed tsuna on a baby sit they bought recently.

"there you go, juudaime, if you need anything just asked okay, i got everything you need in your backpack, tsuna nodded making gokudera coo at how cute his boss was.

It wasn't a long drive to the zoo and tsuna was behaving like a good kids, after parking the car, gokudera picked up tsuna and his backpack, putting it on tsuna's back, while he grab his own bag and putting just one arm in it. "we're going to buy tickets first, then go the the lions" gokudera smiled.

Tsuna smiled and nodded his head, gokudera grabbed his wallet from his back pocket and hand a card to the cashier and getting two tickets.

When they entered the zoo some eyes were on them, a hot man with a cute little boy, it was every girls dream to wake up with that sight. After walking for a while tsuna saw different animals before they reach their destination, the lions, the younger's eyes brighten.

He ran to the huge glass seperating him from the giant felines, " g-gokudera-nii, i-it's lion-san!!" tsuna exclaimed, gokudera watched the smaller boy with a smile on his face and knelt behind him, "it is, juudaime, are you having fun?" gokudera asked, tsuna nodded a little too much and hit his head in the glass, gokudera's eyes widen as tsuna slowly turn to him with large teary eyes, "nii...-hic-" gokudera strained a smile, 'i-its fine juudaime,.let's put ice on that to avoid swelling okay" hr said then picked tsuna up, and going to a resting area, going trough his bag and getting an ice bag after getting some ice from a one of the stalls, somehow, sooner or later he knew it might happen, so he came prepared.

"does it still hurt, juudaime?" he asked, tsuna shook his head and looked down, the silverhead smiled, "is that so, do you want to go somewhere else?" he added, tsuna shooked his head again then crawled to gokudera's lap, slinging his hand around gokudera's neck. "stay here for a while" gokudera almost lost it and almost crush the toddler but, his resistance until now would be in vain and might scare the kid.

"okay, then let's see more animals, so you can tell all about them to the others when we get back, okay?" gokudera said, tsuna nodded and smiled.

After a few more walking here and there, tsuna got tired of walking, "how about taking a rest, and let's also eat lunch, you must me hungry" gokudera said, tsuna nodded and held gokudera's pinky.

"what would you like to eat? There's some pasta, burgers like in japan-" tsuna brighten up at the mention of burger, his mother used to cooked it for him with rice and vegetables. The older doesn't. Have to asked twice, according to his reaction, burger it is.

After they ate, they went back to going around the zoo and buy souvenirs, before they knew it it was sun down, tsuna yawned which didn't go unnoticed by the storm guardian, gokudera smiled and spread his arms, "let's go home okay?" tsuna nodded and approach the older with droopy eyes. 'so cuuute!!!' gokudera thought. as they get closer to his parked car, a few men started surrounding them, "hey, mister, nice car you have there, mind if we take it from you?" one of the men said.

gokudera kept a straight face, "ahh!? why are you not talking? are you stupid?" it said again slightly raising his voice, gokudera felt the sleeping child shift a little from his shoulder, making the storm frown, "you punks, i'll start counting to three, you better be out of my sight then" gokudera scowled, but they were not faze by it, instead they laughed, "or what? what are you gonna do about it" he said again making his companions snicker.

"one" gokudera said and opened the door to his back seat.

"two" he buckled tsuna on the child seat and gently closed the door.

"oh, what are you counting for, eh? Just give us-"

"three" gokudera said, and suddenly the man was unconciously lying on the ground, "wh-what the-" one of the thug's companion gawked, gokudera stared at them with a scowl and a red flame on his hand , that's when they noticed the ring on his left hand's middle finger, the vongola storm ring.

"shit, he's a vongola! Let's run!!" they said before scuring away, leaving their unconscious accomplice.

The silver head clicked his tongue and  got in his car, "how troublesome" he said then drove off.

When they got to the mansion, gokudera cleaned tsuna's body with a wet towel and change him to a more comfortable clothes to sleep with then placed tsuna on his bed, he smiled stood up straight to change his clothes as well but he felt a tug on his clothes,  he looked at the small hand clinging to his shirt, "gokudera-nii, you must be tired too, right? You can sleep beside me" tsuna said while rubbing his eye, gokudera smiled and patted the younger's head, "thanks for the offer but, i still have a job to do"

Tsuna sniffled, his eyes watered and face red, " I just want you to have a rest cause I know you're tired" when tsuna tears fell gokudera knew he fucked up.

"b-but, it's okay, i'm adult so i'm not that tired" gokudera said

"gokudera-nii, do you hate me you don't wants to sleep beside me?" tsuna sniffs.

gokudera sat on tsuna's bed and pat the kids head. " hat was not is, juu-tsunayoshi-kun, fine i'll sleep here for tonight then" gokudera said then smiled, making tsuns amile back.

gokudera laid down beside tsuna, " now, now, let's to sleep, tsunayoshi-kun" tsuna laid down and gokudera covered them both with blanket.

"goodnight, gokudera-nii" tsuna said then fell asleep.

gokudera smiled, " you must the tired one, goodnight,  tsunayoshi-kun"

~<the next morning>~

gokudera woke with a smiling tsuna sitting on top of him, "good morning gokudera-nii, I was waiting for you to wake up, so we can have breakfast together" gokudera's eyes widen and sat up to quickly tsuna flew and landed on the soft blanket, chuckling when his right hand man quickly went and look for injuries, " if your already awake you should have woke me up, juudaime" tsuna's smiled again, " because, gokudera-nii was sleeping so soundly" I don't wants to disturb you, kaa-san said it's rude to wake someone when they are tired" tsuna said

gokudera sighed and scratch his head, " it's true, but. I guess it's fine" he said then then stood up" now, let's get you washed up, this time yamamoto will be the one taking care you" tsuna smiled then nodded.

after washing up gokudera and tsuna went to the dining room where everyone was already sitting on their respective places, tsuna ran to reborn who's quietly drinking his coffee, "reborn-san" tsuna said sat on reborn's  lap, " you know gokudera-nii took me to the zoo yesterday and we saw lions and elephant and turtles and even an owl like mukuro-nii's" tsuna said and kept on telling reborn what they did yesterday" oh, and then bad guys appeared and gokudera nii-" tsuna stopped when his mouth was covered but his eyes was still wide with amusement like he was still continuing the story.

" ahh, I-it was nothing like that, they were just kids messing and all" gokudera said with his pale face" reborn ignored him and then turned tsuna to face the table" eat first, yamamoto will be the one taking care of you for today" tsuna looked at reborn and smile.
