Shining Friends
My current no-good self, what could become of me? I never had high hopes for myself, maybe I'm just a bit pessimistic but that's just me. Though I haven't lost interest in the world at all, that's for sure. Because there are people that I love and care about. I do remember all those times I spent with my shining friends, I always cherished those warm and somewhat fuzzy feelings I had with them. If I closed my eyes, I know they would be there behind me, helping me, supporting me, encouraging me. Those times we spent together… We must've tied the strongest bonds of friendship there could be. Our bonds never be undone, we'll be friends forever. The pain, tears, laughter and smiles we shared together painted something beautiful within me. Gokudera's bittersweet smile, Yamamoto's laughter, Hibari's smirk, Mukuro's grin, Ryohei's energetic cheer, Lambo's innocent sneer, I like them all… I love them all. That's why I'll protect them for as long as I stand, because they are more than precious to me. They are the treasures in my heart. I'll do my best for them, no matter what.
"No! Tsuna! Tsuna! You can't... Tsuna, wake up! Tsuna! Tsuna, please! Don't scare us! Tsuna! Tsuna!"
Myself, perfectly attired within a small world filled with the smell of roses. A dark but peaceful enclosed space. I hear nothing but the sounds of faint church bells and the echoes of gentle tears. Thorns carving their delicate traces into my fingertips. However I feel no pain, maybe I have already lost my feelings? I sat up and looked around. Gokudera-kun… Yamamoto… All of them are here. Why are they looking so miserable? W-why are they crying? Why? What… What happened? I glanced down to find myself sitting in a coffin with the Vongola crest engraved onto the center.
…
Ah, I remember now. I guess I won't be able to spend any more time with them; I won't be able to see their smiling faces anymore either. Damn, why am I crying? I protected them; though that was the last time I could protect them. I let out a whisper. "I'm sorry; I couldn't protect you all forever... But, please… Stop, stop crying now and smile for me this one last time before I make my journey up to that clear blue sky we all looked up at together." For a moment, it felt like they've heard me. All 6 of them looked towards the coffin, closed their eyes, then tilted their heads up to the sky and let out a dazzling smile once more. "Thank You." Slowly, their smiling faces perished with a gentle melody which took me into a long sleep. I fell into an empty area covered with the colour white. If we are reborn, please, let us meet again.
