#43- Dying


Gokudera sighed, every time practice was over, he was always stuck cleaning the club house.

'Responsibilities of being a captain, I suppose... '

Hearing the door open, he heaved another sigh, "Who is it? If you didn't forget something, get out!" He barked loudly, the frown on his face deepened seeing the brunette peek from behind a row of lockers.

"You sound more and more like an old man every day…" Tsuna leaned onto the lockers for support as he dropped his book bag on the bench in front of him.

"Tsuna…" Said teen smiled, and he walked over the bench to face the taller teen, who slapped a shoulder and turned.

"You know, I asked you to wait outside. I don't want you to get in any trouble." he stated, walking to his locker, and peeled off his shirt. Tsuna smiled, as he approached the Italian teen from behind, wrapping his arms around the athlete.

"You took so long… I already handed in the report of you marvelous soccer game into the newspaper office." he paused, placing on the other male's back. "And I stored the equipment, which you always like to save for last." Gokudera smiled as he bent down, grabbing the new soccer ball he bought yesterday, out of his duffle bag.

"And I'm guessing that you expect something in return?"

Tsuna smiled, digging his face deeper into the silver teen's back. "Helping you is free, but making me wait will cost you a kiss."

"Tsuna…" Gokudera whispered as he turned around, cupping the brunette's cheek with his free hand. "Here." He said, chuckling as he pressed the new ball into the shorter male's face.

"Put that in my locker for me." Tsuna sighed dramatically, opening the locker. He smiled, spotting a locket hanging innocently on a hook inside the small space as he placed the checkered ball into the locker.

"I want you to have this, Gokudera-kun." Tsuna spoke, holding a small box in his hand as he tried his best to look away from his long time crush.

"I-It belonged to my mother when my father gave it to her for their first anniversary when they were dating." He spoke quietly, as he looked to the box lovingly.

"Jyuudaime, I could never... If this belonged to you mother… then…" Tsuna shook his head, he looked to the Italian teen as if he was searching for something in the pair dark forest green eyes.

"P-please, Gokudera-kun call me Tsuna." Tsuna said, taking Gokudera's hand and placed it over his heart. "I beg of you."

The Taller teen blushed deeply, "T-Tsuna… I-I can-"

Tsuna shook his head once again as he placed the box into Gokudera's hands, pushing it towards him. "Don't say that you can't, please."

"I know you like me, Gokudera-kun, I really like you back, I truly do… please believe mph--" Tsuna confessed as he was embraced tightly by his right hand man.

Before completely closing the locker's door, Tsuna gently lifted the silver locket off the hook. A hand was placed on top of his own, along with a warm pair of lips met with the nape of his neck.

"I believe you kisses are overdue then?" He murmured hot over the peach skin, brown locks of hair tickling his face.

"R-really?" The brunette responded with a completely flustered tone.

The Italian pressed his body against the shorter brunette, Tsuna could feel the hot butterfly kisses trailing up his neck to his ear.

"Tsuna." Gokudera whispered into his ear, "Do you love me?" Without any hesitation, said brunette replied, turning to his boyfriend. "Of course." Tsuna leaned up and hooked the locket under silver strands of hair. He closed the distance between the two as Gokudera pinned him up against the cold metal of the row of miniature closets.
