Vongola XXV -- Dictated/Action

[not_mafia]

[There's a tiny, whimpering voice coming over the journal.]

Ino? Allen? Nonno? [A sniff.] Inoooo. Alleeen. N-n-n... N-nonno-o...

[Hello, Paradisa. In your lobby, there is one (1) small child with unruly brown hair wandering about the lobby, sniffing and glossy-eyed and looking like he might burst into tears at any moment. His little fists are clutched to his chest and he's quickly retreating to a corner of the room, looking around anxiously and rubbing at his eye.

What do?]

[Well, that explained that. He's quickly shutting his book, and getting up to go look for him. He could start with the lobby, and then work his way down to Tsuna's house...]

Just stay where you are, bambino.

[not_mafia]

Okay...

[He'll just kind of anxiously stand around in the lobby corner, then, sniffing and whimpering.]

[is_mafia]

[Eventually Giotto does make it down to the lobby, and feels around for that little flame, scanning the lobby.]

Tsuna...?

[not_mafia]

Nonno!

[He practically sprints from his spot in the corner to cling to Giotto's leg and bury his face into it.]

[is_mafia]

[He almost is caught off balance by Tsuna flinging himself at him and attaching to his leg, but then he smiles, patting him on the head.]

Hello, little one. What are you doing down here all alone?

[not_mafia]

Dunno...

[He sniffs and looks up at him, eyes a bit red. Being alone was scary okay. ;;]

[is_mafia]

[A smile as he looks down at him.]

Well, now you're not alone.

[not_mafia]

Mm! [He smiles up at him, then outstretches his arms.] Up!

[is_mafia]

So demanding, Tsuna! [But he bends and picks him up in his arms.] How's that?

[not_mafia]

Please? [And then he giggles when he's lifted up.] Yay! [He happily cuddles into Giotto's chest.]

[is_mafia]

[Giotto pulls him closer, nuzzling into his hair. Tsuna was almost to cute to stand when he was this small.] Now, what shall we do, little one?

[not_mafia]

Mm, snuggle~ [He seems perfectly content to just be with you and cuddle into your chest, Giotto. Maybe finding a place to sit would be good.]

[is_mafia]

[Giotto smiles gently down at Tsuna, walking him towards one of the couches.] We can do that, Tsuna.

[not_mafia]

Mmm~

[Look at how ridiculously happy this child is just being with you, Giotto. As soon as he sits down he cuddles right into him, nuzzling his face into his chest.]

[is_mafia]

[Giotto gently strokes his back, watching him. This must be the castle's doing, there's no other explanation. He doesn't truly mind, though, Tsuna had stayed with him for a week or so, and if he couldn't find anyone else who Tsuna was willing to go with then he supposed he would take him again.

Though, there is one question he has...]

Whenever did you start calling me 'nonno' Tsuna? I thought grandfather was something quite different in Japanese.

[not_mafia]

Mm?

[Tsuna cranes his head to look up at him.]

Nonno is Nonno.

[He gives a little smile up at him. HE HELPED.]

[is_mafia]

[A laugh at that simple answer and he touches a finger gently to the tip of his nose.] And Tsuna is Tsuna.

[not_mafia]

[He giggles.] Mhmm!

[He buries his face into his chest.]

And Tsuna loves Nonno.

[is_mafia]

[Giotto can't help but smile fondly at that and kiss Tsuna's hair.] And Nonno loves Tsuna as well. Very much so.
