-house-

it's a stroke of luck, tsuna believes, that out of all the people in his class kahiro is the one chosen to be his partner for a science project.

for starters, he would've felt like dying if he had a classmate who was not friends with him in any sense (they'd complain the entire time and he'd probably have to apologize for his existence again and again and again).

he would've felt a little better if he had ended up with another friend who wasn't kahiro but…

being paired up with gokudera meant the other guy would do all the work, practically drowning tsuna in guilt as a result of not doing anything.

being paired up with yamamoto meant that they'd be likely to go completely off topic and one point, only to realize three hours later that they'd done no work.

being paired up with kyoko would mean he would be a complete mess for most of it and probably think more about his crush than the work.

therefore getting kahiro, who would most likely share out the work,

ing them back on track when they went too off topic for too long and felt incredibly comfortable to be around, is a real stroke of luck.

"so, this is my house…" tsuna gestures to the building in front of them, feeling a little awkward for saying those words aloud.

"nice." kahiro cocks an eye

ow at how big it is, grinning and nudging him with her elbow. "in the money are we?"

"i guess…" tsuna thinks

iefly about the money iemitsu

ings in from his mafia work and pales slightly. unlocking the door, he steps in and calls a greeting, his mum and bianchi immediately poking their heads out from two different rooms.

"welcome back! oh, who is this?" nana blinks, not recognizing the girl stood beside her son.

"i'm tsunayoshi's classmate, imada kahiro. we're partners for a science project and i hope you don't mind if we do it here." kahiro introduces herself with an award-winning smile. "but really, he never told me he had an older sister!" tsuna catches the slightly amused tone in her voice which indicates that she knows nana is his mother and that this is blatant flattery.

nana catches it too and beams, eyes glittering with both amusement and joy. "oh i definitely don't mind you studying here! and you can come back again too with flattery like that!"

kahiro laughs and turns to bianchi. "i'm one of tsuna's tutors." the woman answers the question kahiro hasn't spoken yet before her eyes glint. "would you possibly like some tea?"

"later! later!" tsuna butts in, eyes filling with horror.
