Happy B'day Gokkun Otanjoubi (:

"Yo! Gokudera," the dark-haired baseball nut grinned, loping towards his silver haired friend who was slouching beneath a tree – sulking.
Gokudera snarled, clenching his fists as he heard his name and saw an oh-too-familiar figure heading towards him.
"What!" he snapped at Yamamoto, more of a demand than a question.
"Oh, nothing," Yamamoto grinned his easy smile, not taking in Gokudera's mood.
"Go away!" was Gokudera's curt reply, mumbling as he turned away from the tall figure.
Ignoring Gokudera's growl, Yamamoto sat down next to Gokudera, leaning against the tree with a relaxed sigh, focusing on the sun shining behind the green leaves of the tree.
Gokudera tensed, on one hand, he was itching to leave the 'too-happy' presence next to him, and on the other, he was too lazy…or maybe he didn't mind it as much as he appeared to.
The wind blew across the school grounds, causing a cascade of leaves to whirl around them. Gokudera shifted, wondering where his Jyuudaime was.
"Jyuudaime!" he leaped up to his feet, his eyes brightening as he spotted a smaller built boy in the distance, and what looked like a baby in a tuxedo walking beside him.
"OWOW! What was that for?!" Tsuna's protests could be heard as they came nearer as Reborn kicked Tsuna for no apparent reason.
"Yamamoto, Gokudera," the baby hailed them both, ignoring Tsuna's moans.
"Hey kid," Yamamoto grinned, getting up from his comfortable position as well.
"JYUUDAIME!" Gokudera rushed to Tsuna's side. "Are you okay?!"
"Yea," Tsuna winced rubbing his head, wondering if Gokudera was overreacting a little.
Yamamoto cast a glance at Tsuna and he grinned, an idea crossing his head.
"Hey, Go-kun…" he grinned even wider, draping his arm around Gokudera's neck.
"Are you looking for a fight?!" Gokudera yelled, trying to wriggle out of Yamamoto's casual-yet-tight grip, taking offence immediately.
"For today, I'll let you be Tsuna's right-hand man," Yamamoto smiled brilliantly, still keeping his firm hold around Gokudera's neck.
At the sound of 'right-hand man', Gokudera stood still, stunned for a couple of seconds. With a fierce shove, he managed to escape from Yamamoto's grasp.
"What do you mean?!" he snarled. "I'm already Jyuudaime's right-hand man!"
"Not if I'm here to fight for the position," Yamamoto smiled airily, raising his eyebrow.
"Guys, guys," Tsuna looked between both of them, worried, but too scared to do anything.
"Fine. And why are you so nice today," Gokudera gritted his teeth as he eyed Yamamoto suspiciously.
"Because…" Yamamoto grinned as if he was having a lot of fun. "It's your BIRTHDAY!" he ended of with a flourish, his arm around Gokudera's neck again.
"Happy Birthday Gokudera," Tsuna agreed with a smile. As Reborn nodded as well.
Gokudera was stunned again. All the years of his life, his birthday had never really been celebrated…this feeling, it was almost warm.
Allowing himself to smile, Gokudera thought to himself, "I guess this is what 'Family' is."
