Hello everyone! :D
This was the first KHR fic I ever wrote but I translated it only now even though I've already posted another one.
Uhm, I don't have much to say about it, only the setting can be placed somewhere around... the Ring Battle against Varia ^^
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what I wrote.

Friends
Dame-Tsuna...
He doesn't even remember when they all started calling him that, so much he's used to it. The nickname probably came to be way back in kindergarten, after all he had always been pretty weak and even now, that he was fourteen, he was the only guy in Namimori Junior High who was scared of a chiwawa—he was pathetic and he knew it.
Plus he didn't have friends.
All of his classmates enjoyed making fun of him: he didn't have the courage to go up and talk to the girl he liked, he scored awful at everything school-related, he was absolutely horrible at any kind of sport... in short, it was far from a wonder if his relationships with others stopped at 'bully/victim'.
-x-
Then, Reborn had arrived... and with him, people had started to gather around him slowly.
People that were always by his side, that were more than ready to help him in moments of difficulty, that never lost a chance to encourage him... people that had quickly become treasured friends - they had become part of an extended family and they had brought a happy, active atmosphere into that home that was comfortable, yes, but quiet.
Now, the silence that roamed the house can't be found anywhere because they are always there... laughing, joking, fighting, living alongside him.
Friends—he considers them extremely precious and he'll fight with all of his strength, though insignificant as it might be, to protect them.
"Tsuna!"
"Jyuudaime!"
"Sawada!"
"Tsuna-kun."
"Tsuna-san!"
"Tsuna-nii!"
He will fight, if necessary.
So he won't lose them.
So he won't lose that warmth blossoming in his chest everytime he sees them.
... And if once in a while he'll get called 'good-for-nothing'... well, he'll simply smile because he knows there will always be one person that will continue to use that old nickname and, really, he couldn't find it irritating, on the contrary... it was like a private message between Reborn and himself. He finds it almost adorable—
"Dame-Tsuna! Why are you staring at nothing this time?"
WHAM!
"Ow ow ow! REBORN WHY DID YOU DO IT...?"
"Don't whine, dame-Tsuna, next time listen when I talk to you."
—No, in the end it isn't all that adorable...!
Still, a little smile makes its way to his lips anyway.
