Tsuna wants to have a carefree day for a change, he just wants to be the middle school boy for a day without worries about training to become the next Mafia leader, facing challenges from members of other Mafia families or listening to Reborn about honing his skills in order to become THE 10^th leader.

For one day, he just wants to be an ordinary boy.

He scans around him and checks if he was followed by his loyal protectors, who actually are just regular school mates but recruited to train special skills to protect him from any harm. When he notice the streets are quiet and without a trace of any of his cohorts, Tsuna smiles and slowly feeling the stress of his leader role dissipate at each step towards the field of grass abutting the waterway. 

That was his quiet spot, his sanctuary ever since he was just an ordinary Japanese kid.  At the end of each school day, he would run to that place to enjoy the quiet surrounding, listening to the rustling of the warm breeze, watching the lazy flow of the river and  the circles forming each time a daring koi surface for a momentary peek.

He sits on the carpet of lush green, unlace his shoes and free his feet from the warm comfort of his sport socks.  After neatly rolling each sock and stuffing the roll in each shoe, he let his bare feet nestle on the soft green grass, his toes wiggles as the soft miniature blades of green tickles his skin. 

Tsuna chuckles, “Why can’t I have this moment everyday.”

He looks at the expanse of the cloudless blue horizon as he slowly lay down resting his arm on his forehead to protect his eyes from the brightness of the sky above .  He could hear a distant chirping of a single bird, the warm breeze soothing his slightly stressed nerves, slowly his lids got heavier while listening to the soothing peal of one said bird.

He dreams of a young boy, silver – haired holding his hand as they saunter across the grassy knoll on bare feet.  His laughter resonates, the warm breeze flirting with the long silver strands casting tresses in the air like waves.  Tsuna happy, as well but warm pink on his cheeks when the taller Gokudera stops their prancing, facing him and gently touching his cheeks, emerald orbs sparkles and a smile curves his thin semi-pouting lips.

“Judaime, don’t ever disappear from my side ever again.” The taller boy's plea, “How can I protect you if I’m not next to you?”

Tsuna abruptly awakens from his dream, “Judaime?”  He mutters.

His vision slightly blurry but he notices the brightness of the blue heaven is nowhere upon him. He clearly sees, surrounding him are seven men staring at him disapprovingly and on his chest sits his toddler trainer with a smile.

“Reborn!”  The surprise 10^th blurts out.

“Tsuna-kun,” Reborn answers then a loud thwack as the toddler with his oversize fan hit the 10^th’s forehead.

“Awwh!” Tsuna exclaims.

“We’re not your enemies so don’t run away from your friends.” Reborn said.

“I just wanted some time alone.”  Tsuna replies, nursing the growing bump on his forehead.

“Well then, you’ll have that when you run towards the end of the field.  While you were dreaming, your men convert the field for your afternoon training.  They will be at the end of the track providing the challenges you have to overcome.”

Tsuna sits up to watch his protectors turn and walk towards the end of the field.  The lush green is no longer a smooth expanse but noticeable lumps are now present.  The 10^th in training sighs, his sanctuary's gone and is now another exploding field.

Nice job! I liked Tsuna's brief yearning for solitude away from all the chaos associated with becoming the 10th. His dream of an older Gokudera was a great addition too! But I feel the story is incomplete because of the way it ended so suddenly.
