" Hmh ? " the Vongola Rain Guardian reached for a stack of papers that were messily shoved into the bottom drawer of his partner`s desk. Pulling them out of their stash, Yamamoto Takeshi glanced over the messy cursive hand writing, immediately recognizing them as the Storm Guardian`s. Blindly settling himself into Gokudera Hayato`s chair, the Rain Guardian switched his full attention to the text, and within moments, was drawn into a world in which the Storm Guardian had faced.

" In most stories I have read, they all ended happily. Either the protagonist wins, find true love, or is simply graced with happiness. I learned that ' happily ever after ' does not exist in the real world. No, actually, I knew that all my life. Then I met the Tenth. Back then, I actually had faith in carrying out a better life. I was wrong. It seemed only like a few days before the Tenth slipped from my grasp and disappeared forever. And that was my farewell to a happy ending. "

A soft frown dawned upon the raven`s lips as he unconsciously reached for a nearby pen. Without much thinking, he quickly brought it upon the first paper that his partner had written on.

" You still have us, Gokudera. "

Moving on.
