15. Lambo
I was doing stretches in my room. Currently in a split, I was writing down ideas for my next live show on my journal.
Then, something just came crashing in through my room window. The object, which happened to be a child with an afro wearing a cow jumpsuit, landed on my bed and started bawling.
"Huh?" was the only thing I could say. By luck, the girls had gone out with Dad to do the groceries, so no one's around to charge up the stairs thinking something bad happened. Glass shards were all over the bed, thankfully, I don't think it burst to anywhere else. Lambo was rolling around the bed crying.
"Wait, that's dangerous!" I realized.
I jumped up and scooped the cow child up from the bed, although he was still crying and bawling with snot, and held him close. Thankfully, he's not struggling.
"Who are you?" he asked me, teary-eyed.
I chuckled, "I'm Rei." I said, "Who are you?" I asked, putting him down on the table and wiped his face with a tissue. "What happened to you?"
"Reborn the bastard," Lambo sniffled, trying not to cry anymore, "Threw my grenade back at me and-" he sniffled again, "I got blown away."
"That sounds terrible," I tell him, sweeping up the larger pieces into the trash bin and gathering the smaller shards with a lint roller, "But thankfully, you seem unharmed." Throwing all the glass away, I turned back to the cow child and brushed his head, giving him a smile.
At that, he stopped crying and grinned widely. "Of course! I'm the Great Lambo-sama, after all!"
Now, I gotta clean up the leftover glass shards from my blanket.

"And then... tadaa! It's gone!" I said dramatically. I was showing the child some amateur tricks, making a ball appear in my hand and disappear. He was absolutely fascinated, his eyes sparkling with interest as he kept asking me to show him more tricks.
I chuckled. I stood up and reached for the deck of poker cards, reaching for my phone while I was at it. I should take this chance to contact Tsuna about Lambo being in my house...
"Hey, what's this book?" I heard Lambo speak up.
I turn over quickly. When did he get on the table? He was reaching for the books I stack up at the side of my desk, and his hand had landed on one particular journal. A dark green, leather-covered journal. I snatch it away from him instantly.
He looked over, surprised. Oops. Too sudden, maybe.
I forced out a smile. "Sorry, Lambo-kun!" I try, "This book is a secret! Lambo-kun, you have secrets too, right? This is mine." I gave an excuse.
"Oh, I see!" Lambo seemed understanding enough.
"Anyway," I put the book back where it belonged, showing Lambo the deck of cards. "I'll show you something really cool with these cards!"
