He never could have imagined even a few months ago that he would be able to witness this sight around him.

Reborn, Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto-kun, Lambo,

He used to think for sure that he was destined to live his life out alone. No friends, no life, nothing except for his mom (and maybe his now maybe-not-so-good-for-nothing-father) for him to live his life with.

Onii-san, Hibari-san, Mukuro-san, Chrome-chan,

After all, he had been known as Dame-Tsuna for most of his life. Surely that had to be true to some point right? But for some reason there were so many people now. At first he was in denial, He was Dame-Tsuna, who would want to be friends with him; surely it was only a trick that would hurt him later on, right?

Kyoko-chan, Haru-chan, I-pin, Fuuta-kun,

But that never happened. For sure he thought that they would leave him, but they never did. Slowly he could feel himself opening up, accepting them, and in return getting accepted. Before long he found himself laughing, screaming, smiling once more like he hadn't in years.

Bianchi, Dr. Shamal, Colonello, Basil-kun, Enma-kun.

And now as he sat there at the table, listening to the chaos and watching his friends- no family as they smiled at him and said, "Happy Birthday Tsuna/Tsuna-kun/Juudaime/Tsunayoshi/Boss!", and blew out the candles on the cake with the brightest smile he had ever worn in his life, his only wish was this,

'I wish it could be like this forever.'

Happy Birthday Sawada Tsunayoshi.

A/N: For our favorite spiky brown-haired teenaged Vongola Decimo that we all love, Happy Birthday Sawada Tsunayoshi, you will live on in our hearts forever. :D

Sorry if it's kind of iffy, I wrote it in half an hour when I remembered it was his birthday while I was writing Different Path, Same Destination today. I'm at 3770 words people! Look forward to it coming out within the month. I'm seriously sorry about the delay. School has been eating up all of my time and soul and just my life in general recently. I'm lucky that I had time to work on it at all in between my homework this weekend. Curse you English and Biology HL! And TOK! But seriously. Thanks for waiting so patiently my lovely readers, you have no idea how much that means to me.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!
