A/N: this is really short, sorry. But I'm currently on a roll for r27 ideas and one shots.
I listened to 'the tear heals' from tangled ost, the same place I got the inspiration for this. Mostly at the part where she sings. Hope you enjoy, any comments?
Summary:He hadn't seen it coming, because no one believed Reborn would fall. R27
When he saw that body stagger before falling, his heart stopped.
His blood ran cold as his mind tried to comprehend what was happening. It felt like an eternity before he managed to make his way over. His heart was pounding as tears gathered into his eyes making his steps more frantic.
Bullets soared past him as he fell to his knees staining the crisp white suit he was wearing. His cape surrounded them like a pale white sheet, his hands quickly grasping the body beside him. He worked one hand into the mans suit to place it on the wound that had hit a vital organ.
With a shaky breath he looked into the mans face and whimpered.
His invincible home tutor and hitman was pale, wisps of red on his face. The fedora was starting to fall leaving black strands of hair to stick to his face. The mans coal black eyes opened slightly to peer at the man holding him. Tsunayoshi Sawada bit his lip at the small smile on Reborn's face as tears continued to well in his eyes.
"R-Reborn... Don't, please don't." He whispered taking the shaky hand that was reaching for him. The hitman closed his eyes blinking slowly.
"D-Dame T-Tsuna... Mafia Bosses don't cry." He breathed out his dark black eyes trying to tease.
But Tsuna wasn't going to hear it.
"I don't care! You have to be okay, Reborn. Please...Please."
Reborn gazed at him with glossy eyes before raising his hand to cup Tsuna's cheek, ignoring the red stain he was leaving behind. His thumb traced a small circle on his cheek as the Brunet's tears slid onto their hands.
"Tsuna...we've talked about this."
The Vongola boss sobered slightly as he slowly stared into the wise eyes of his tutor...of his lover.
Reborn was ready. Reborn understood it was his time to go. And he wanted Tsuna to carry on, to live once more.
Tsuna ducked his head sobbing outright, ignoring the screaming of his guardians as they tried to reach him. Right now all that mattered was Reborn.
Reborn.
The strongest man he knew. The man dying in his arms.
"You understand... D-Don't you?"
Tsuna whimpered while the man clenched the hand tightly. Tsuna stared at the dark haired man's face before nodding. Reborn let out a small breath of relief before giving another small smile. The smile Tsuna loved to see. Reborn nudged the brunet with his hand weakly to get him to open his eyes.
The sinning brown eyes were in anguish and none of the pain from the radiation or the gunshot wound hurt more then that.
"Don't cry, Tsuna. Crying doesn't suit you. Smile... Smile for me..." He whispered eyes closing again as Tsuna sniffed and leaned forward to place a small passionate kiss on his pale lips. He leaned back and smiled despite the pain in his heart.
Reborn chuckled while giving a smile of his own. "Thank you, Tsuna. I..."
He couldn't speak anymore, the pain taking over as he stared into his lovers eyes again.
But Tsuna saw those words and smiled again.
"I love you too, Reborn." He whispered.
The hit man's eyes sparkled again before he closed his eyes. The grip on Tsuna's hand went limp as the brunet's own heart stuttered. The pain sunk in as he sobbed openly his heart tearing while he clenched the hit man's suit.
"Reborn..." He whimpered burying his face into the crook of the mans neck. He heard Gokudera and Yamamoto coming along with the others but he didn't care. In that small moment his world shattered and everything keeping him down was gone.
"Reborn, don't go..."
