"Tsunayoshi prezioso, mi ami?" The man with shoulder-length blond hair, and a pair of mesmerising light blue eyes asked, surprising Tsuna that was sketching the beautiful evening sky in his sketchbook. Dino stared deeply into Tsuna's caramel eyes, dazzling light blue eyes filled with gentleness and love. Gently, as if he is handling with the most fragile and treasured, his large, warm hands caressed Tsuna's mop of brown hair lovingly.

"Hm? Dino, I do not understand what you are saying?" Tsuna pouted, raising his head from his sketchbook. He grumbled, "You are always saying things in Italian, and I do not understand them! That is unfair."

Dino chuckled softly, taking in the adorable sight of Tsuna. He had moved from his hometown, Italy to Japan because of his father's business work last year. At first, he thought that he will not like this place since his best friends were not here, he will not be able to adjust to this foreign country and traditions and he will definitely feel out of place here but everything changed when he met Tsuna at the roof top during the third day of his school.

It was the first time his heart jumped so erratically.

Dino sighed, bony fingers brushed his hair suavely, his eyes closed in annoyance as he walked up the stairs with soft footsteps.

He did not understand how could the girls in this school be so pestering and shameless. Since the first day at school, they had been chasing and stalking him around the school non-stop with their loud squeaks and chatterings, appearing out of no where to scare him out of his wits and taking pictures of him secretly. He felt so creep out and unsecure, as if there are dozen of eyes looking at him from every corner. Feeling frustrated, he decided to skip all his lessons today and hide on the roof top until school is over.

He opened the door, a small smile graced his face pretty face when he noticed no one was around, until he heard a soft voice. He jumped a little and soon, a frown adorned his face.

"Mukuro?"

Dino snapped his head towards the source of the sound, feeling slightly irritated when he saw a petite boy with a sketchbook in his hands, tilting his head as he looked at the Dino that was still standing there with confusion and with so much longing in his big caramel eyes. Suddenly, the boy snapped from his trance when he realised it is not the man he wish to see and continue with his sketch. Meanwhile, Dino just stood there, not knowing what he should do. Should he sit down or leave?

At that moment, as if understanding what he is thinking, the boy gave him a glance before returning to his sketch and said softly, "You can stay here for a while if you want to avoid your fan girls."

Dino nodded. Slowly, he walked towards the boy and sat beside him.

Dino felt awkward and squirmed as time passed but the boy seems not to mind as he was too absorbed in his drawing. To Dino, silent was foreign since he is always surrounded by his friends, family and girls, thus, he did not know how to deal with it. Finally, finding it hard to bear with it anymore, he took out his hand and tried to give his best smile, "Hello, I am Cavallone Dino, the new transferred student from Italy."

Tsuna looked at him, a bitter smile adorned his pale and youthful face, "You are from Italy too? I see... I am Sawada Tsunayoshi. You can call me Tsuna if you find my name too long."

Dino was surprised by the sad tone and bitter smile but he was even more curious what did Tsuna meant from the word, 'too'.

"Callavone-san, if you tell the girls nicely that you do not want them to follow you around, they will understand." Tsuna said, once again focusing on his sketch.

"Really? Will they really stop bothering me if I tell them nicely not to? How do you know?"

"Similar things happened to my important friend too. Don't worry, it will work."

"Are you really sure? And, can you call me Dino without honourific? I am not familiar with the traditions."

Tsuna nodded lightly and gave him a small smile to assure him.

For some reasons, Dino felt so nice beside him and he believe in Tsuna's words that it will be alright.

The next day, Dino had did exactly what Tsuna had told him and the girls really did listen and even apologised to him. He felt so happy that he rushed to the roof top to see if Tsuna was there as he really want to thank him properly for getting rid of his problem.

Tsuna was taking a nap. This is his favourite place in the school as it has always reminded him of the time he had when that man was still around. Even if he had left, every single breathing moment of Tsuna was still full of him. That long and smooth dark blue hair, bony and long fingers, the sweet scent of sakura flowers and his handsome face smirking, contorting in anger and jealousy, pouting cutely and on very rare occasion, crying. Even in his dreams, it was still him.

A tear escaped from his closed lid.

Dino was so mesmerised by Tsuna's sleeping form. He had wanted to wake him up but he could not bring himself to do it, not when Tsuna looked so forlorn. He gasped when he saw a tear rolled down from Tsuna's pale cheeks. His instinct told him to wipe it away and he did, waking up Tsuna in the process.

His heart skipped a bit when Tsuna opened his eyes and stared deeply and lovingly into his eyes. Tsuna, whose mind was still in a unclear state thought Dino was Mukuro, smiled sweetly and blissfully, his hands gripping Dino's hand tightly, promising not to let go of him the second time.

At that moment, Dino felt his heart pounding so noisily on his chest that he ran away.

He was afraid if Tsuna discovered his new found feelings, they might not even be friends anymore.

At the same time, he felt immense jealousy that occupied the whole of Tsuna's heart.

"Dino? Dino? Are you listening to me?" Tsuna asked, his dainty hands waving in front of Dino's face, "I want to go home now."

Dino snapped out of his reverie and mumbled an apology. They walked side by side and occasionally, they will exchange some jokes to laugh their head off or they will talk about some mundant stuffs that happened to them. It was nothing special but Dino was satisfied and happy.

"Tsuna, can you draw a picture of me?"

Upon hearing the question, Tsuna stopped abruptedly in his tracks, surprising Dino.

"Tsuna? Are you alright?"

Without saying a word, Tsuna dashed away, leaving Dino behind. Dino tried to catch up with him but he had failed terribly when he lost sight of Tsuna in the crowded underground subway.

Tsuna ran and ran, as fast as his weak and thin legs could carry him.

Finally, when he felt that his lungs is going explode soon and his legs will snap if he does not stop running, he sat down at a bench near his house. This is also one of the place they often meet up too. Mukuro and him.

"Mukuro! Look, I drew a picture of you! Is it nice?" Tsuna asked excitedly, his glimmering caramel eyes shone with excitement and anticipation.

"Kufufufu, is that so?" Mukuro chuckled at Tsuna's child-like behaviour, as he took Tsuna's painting in his left hand, the right hand caressing Tsuna's hair.

The picture was stunning. In the picture, Mukuro was laughing. Under the evening sun, he was wearing a gentle expression on his face and this is the expression reserved only for Tsuna. His hair slightly messed up by the strong wind but it only made him looked more like an innocent child. Beside him was a boy around the same age as Mukuro with pitch-dark hair and beautiful almond eyes. The boy's hair was messed up by the wind too but unlike Mukuro, the man had a peaceful expression on his face as he closed his eyes while listening to a song on his i-pod.

Mukuro frowned and returned Tsuna the drawing. Tsuna, on the other hand was depressed. It seems that Mukuro did not like his drawing. Tsuna could feel tears welling up in his eyes. He had tried really hard to draw that picture so that Mukuro will give him another dazzling smile that he love so much and a pat on his head. He quickly excused himself before he could not hold back his tears anymore and cry in front of Mukuro.

"Ano, Mukuro, I need to go now. Bye bye." Tsuna dashed away, only to be stopped by a tight grip on his wrist.

How could Mukuro not know Tsuna's intention to make him happy? Even though it was mean, Mukuro cannot help but to feel happy that Tsuna was sad because of his reactions towards the painting. He could not deny that he really feel happy when he saw Tsuna had drew such a nice picture of him with so much feelings. However, he could not help to feel a little jealous as well.

"Tsunayoshi, I do not like it." Mukuro stated as he pulled Tsuna to sit on his laps in a position that he will be able to see Tsuna's face clearly and at the same, he will not be able to run away. Tsuna struggled embarrassly, and at the same time, tears streamed down his rosy cheeks. Tsuna had started sobbing softly, his petite hands rubbing away the tears. Mukuro sighed, he could feel his heart tightening whenever his Tsuna cried, "Tsunayoshi, don't cry. I am sorry."

However, that did not stop Tsuna from crying. Mukuro kissed his tears away and asked, "Are you not going to ask why I do not like the picture?"

Tsuna nodded his head, but his crying did not stop yet.

"Because you drew another man."

Tsuna was taken aback by the answer and stopped crying. He blinked once, twice, and he tilted his head to the side, "What do you mean?"

Mukuro smiled as he tried to feign to be angry, "When you draw someone, you need to be thinking about them, right?"

Tsuna nodded.

"See! That is the reason why I am mad at you!"

Tsuna shooked his head.

Mukuro was getting frustrated, "You are thinking of another man when you were drawing the picture! Of course, I am jealous!"

Suddenly, everything clicked in Tsuna's mind. He knew Mukuro was being too possessive but he was happy. He laughed and put his hands around Mukuro's neck, "Then, how about this? Next time, I will not draw anyone but you."

Mukuro grinned broadly, and kiss Tsuna's soft and small lips with tender and care. It was a gentle kiss, with no sexual desire but it was enough for them to convey their feelings to each other.

"Ti amo."

Tsuna hugged his knees near his chest as he sat lonely on the bench, crying softly, pining for his love.

"Why do you have to leave..."
