"Reborn rolled his eyes with a sigh. Of course Tsuna didn't understand."
A little fluffy angst about a teacher in love.
He wanted to Throttle Tsuna, with a capital 'T', because the idiot he just confessed his feelings too was blinking innocently. Reborn rolled his eyes with a sigh. Of course Tsuna didn't understand. The young man tilted his head to the side, brunette hair bouncing with the movement.
"I love you too, Reborn. You're family. What's wrong? You never express feelings like this."
"I'm going to have to show you what I mean, aren't I?" Reborn said dryly, his tone not at all questioning. Before Tsuna could even form a response, Reborn's hand shot out, grabbed a fist full of Tsuna's hair and pulled the 18-year-old to his level, mashing their lips together in a crushing kiss. There was a moment where panic filled Reborn's chest as Tsuna fell to his knees and did nothing else. Neither moved for several seconds.
Reborn let Tsuna go. His panic didn't show on his face but Tsuna read it anyway.
"Oh." Was all he said. Idiot.
"Never mind." Reborn huffed, turning away from Tsuna, and beginning to walk away from him.
"Tell me again." Tsuna blurted, without turning to face his teacher. His voice trembled a little, but Reborn could still hear where the teen had matured over the years. "Tell me what you feel again, if you still feel the same way, in a few years. After I've settled down in Italy."
Reborn understood what he was saying underneath his words. "Come back when you don't look 12." It hurt a lot more than Reborn was expecting, but he swallowed his pride, nodded his head and continued out without looking back.
Tiny, but powerful. Reborn in a nutshell.
K love you, bye.
