Note- Continuation of Perfect, its only 3k words so i recommend reading that first. Parings= Tsuna/Enma. Yamamoto/Gokudera. Ryohei/Hana. And undecided with Mukuro/Chrome because I love them together and I love them platonically. And undecided with Hibari. If you have any massive preference tell me and it might help me decide.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn is not mine. It is Akira Amano's.
They would meet at night, hushed whispers exchanged in the darkness of the Japanese town. It was a routine which neither had purposely formed.
They had first found each other the night before the Arcobaleno development. Tsuna laid in his bed restlessly. The normally buzzing house had quieted in the dead of night. His head was pounding and in his chest Tsuna's heart thudded loudly with an uncomfortable, unsteady rhythm. His hyper Intuition was acting up. Standing, he pulled on his closest jumper, quickly glanced at the sleeping Reborn and carefully made his way down stairs and through the front door in the hope his head could be cleared by the night air.
Bugs swarmed around the street lamps as he walked aimlessly, following his body's instincts. It was if a warm calling pulled him down the empty street and to the river bank. Sat with his knees drawn up to his chest, Enma turned his head surprise showing on his features. "Enma!" The brunet called jogging down to meet his friend, "Are you okay?" He question curious what the red haired boy was doing out this late at night.
"O-Of course. I just couldn't sleep. What are you doing out here Tsuna-kun?" Enma replied, watching Tsuna sit down beside him.
"I couldn't sleep either," they sat there with the night air blowing against their faces.
The pleasant silence was broken by Enma's veiled voice, "A-actually my heart won't still. Maybe I'm getting sick,"
"I'm sorry that might be my fault," Tsuna said sheepishly, scratching his head, "When my guardians are injured i can feel it, so because we're soulmates you might be able to feel me,"
Enma spun out of his seat and grabbed onto Tsuna's shoulder worried, "What's wrong Tsuna-kun? Are you injured?!" He rambled, panicking.
Smiling slightly, Tsuna shook his head at covered his friends hand with this own, "No its nothing like that," he pulled their hands down so they were resting intertwined on the grass, a light blush dusting their features, and Enma returned to sitting cross legged. "Sometimes I just have problems sleeping. Reborn once told me it was my hyper intuition but I don't really understand what that means," Enma nodded understanding, "I've kept you up though," Tsuna said apologetically.
"It's okay Tsuna-kun. I like having you as a soulmate," Enma said honestly and the red on both faces anymore could be said, the clicking of heeled boots could be heard against the cement ground in the distance, "That would be Adeiheld, I'll see you tomorrow Tsuna-kun," he said slipping his hand from Tsuna's.
"See you," Tsuna responded as Enma walked up the embankment. The brunet found his hand felt cold without Enma's.
The next time they met at the river was the night Tsuna lost to his dad and he was sleeping over Yamamoto's house. Gokudera was snoring peacefully beside him and he hadn't heard anything from the baseball player for a while. But here he was still laying awake. Hiding out in his friend's house in shame. In the seconds before his father's fist knocked him out he had felt a tug at his and Enma's mark which deepened before darkness descended upon him. Sitting up, he left the room while trying to avoid making noise.
While he was lacing up his shoes, Yamamoto suddenly appeared behind him, "Tsuna?" He called.
"Ah! Yamamoto," he breathed out startled, "I'm just going out for a few minutes," he explained.
The tall boy look unconvinced, he's happy-go-lucky attitude fading with lack of sleep "Its 1.30am,"
"It should be fine. I am going to meet Enma," the brunette said, "If anything happens you'll know," Tsuna watched Yamamoto reach up and finger the mark showing on his collar bone. He nodded and returned to the room without another word. Leaving the house, it was a bit confusing finding his way on the dark streets but Enma was just arriving as he was. Their eyes met the both couldn't help but laugh at the routine that was forming.
He felt lighter just being with the other. It settled him knowing that all his guardians were safe for the moment and he could be here with Enma in the still serenity of night. They spoke quietly. Tsuna told of how he was utterly defeated by his father. And Enma explained how the Varia would have killed him if Skull hadn't have thrown himself in front of the attack.
"You're uninjured? Are you sure you're okay?" Tsuna fussed, causing Enma to chuckle.
"Yes Adelheid fixed me up once it was over, and in the morning they're deciding if they're all going to represent Skull,"
"Woo~w" Tsuna sighed, falling onto his back lying in the grass "Everyone's so strong,"
Enma too laid down but onto his stomach crossing his arms to rest his head on them, "Tsuna-kun is also very strong, and so is Reborn-san," he mumbled sleeply, facing Tsuna who rolled onto his side and yawned. Enma watched his eyes flutter closed, "Tsuna-kun you can't sleep here," to which a grumbling was the reply. And he couldn't bring himself to argue.
They awoke to a familiar voice and a hand shaking them awake, "Tsuna. Enma. Wake up. You can't be sleeping here," the mentioned boys groaned and clung closer to the warm before them, "Haha you two really are close," It registered first in Tsuna's mind who is was. Blinking sleep from his eyes the point blank was Enma's face welcomed him and he squealed his high pitched voice face blooming red. Enma sat up dead straight in a split second and looked around confused and worried before Yamamoto broke out into a laugh. "Come on you two, you need to get home,"
Enma stood up first and stumbled a little, Yamamoto caught his arm and righted him. On the other hand, Tsuna had to collect himself, before he could get up. Nothing looked any different from how they feel asleep. "What time is it," the Vongola mumbled.
"It's almost 2am. You said only a few minutes and when you didn't come back in 20, Jirou showed me where to find you," he laughed. Enma departed first with Yamamoto making sure he was okay to get himself back, considering Tsuna was completely out of it.
While the Representative Battle of the Arcobaleno continued the bosses did not meet at their place by the river. Tsuna visited briefly while Shimon were resting up in hospital. He was glad to see that Enma and Shimon were barely hurt but the situation was becoming overwhelming. After all the Vindice were now fighting in the the Battles. Things continued to escalate. Tsuna was now not just fighting to break the curse, but of the lives of the Arcobaleno. Once enemies turned allies, agreed to help in his plan. He arrived to watch his family being cut down at the hands of Vindice. Using the Dying Will bullet he was able Bermuda and Talbot's arrival allowed them to seal. They all finally learnt the truth of the Tri-ni-set.
When Reborn left after he said he wasn't going to become the Vongola Decimo, he fell back into his no good self's routine. He continued visiting his friends in hospital, though Dino and Basil were the only peaceful ones. Shimon turned out to be just as noisy as Byakuran's group. Everyone from Shimon was quickly released in two days however for home care. Tsuna tried to visit Enma at home, but he was either greeted by Aoba or Adelheid closing the door on his face stating that the boy needed more time to recover or saying something confusing despite Enma's voice on the inside claiming to be fine. But on the fifth day, he was happy to find the unique eyes peering through the slightly opened door.
"Enma!" He cried happily, latching onto his Soulmate.
"Tsuna-kun" Enma replied shyly, slowly wrapping his arms around returning the hug, "Sorry I couldn't see you, my family wouldn't let me leave until I recovered from the exhaustion,"
"No it's fine. It's not your fault. I'm glad you are safe." Tsuna pulled back and Enma led him into the small living area, made him tea and they sat peace for a while beside each other at the small square tables, Natsu emerging from the ring to be petted.
Enma looked up from stroking Natsu, "Has anything happened while I was gone, Reborn-san usually arranges event?" He asked curious to what he had missed.
"Uh-, Reborn left actually " Tsuna scratched his head, Enma looked very surprised, "I turned down the Mafia... I'm not suited to it. I can't even pass a test," he said weakly.
The other was quiet for a bit looking down at his lap, "You know I don't like the Mafia either but I believe Tsuna-kun shares and can make Grandfather's dreams come true." He looked up with his burning eyes piercing into Tsuna's soul, "And I would like be by your side. I want to support you Tsuna-kun. You can make this world better. You can protect people, like you saved me, and I want to be with you forever,"
"I'm going to stay with you Enma, no matter what happens, we're going to be together," he said taking both of Enma's hands into his, and after gazing other Tsuna found them leaning towards each other. Enma's heavy lidded eyes were burning red, his pupils the beautiful cross shaped marking stared into brown orbs. He could feel the hot breath on this eyelids fluttered closed and lips touched with gentle purity, nothing but unblemished innocence. It lasted seconds, both too shy, too nervous, too confused for it to be anything more.
Blush painted their faces as they retracted, and the pair looked down at their intertwined hands, family rings glowing, their soulmarks buzzing as their hearts pounded. Silence engulfed the room as they waited for their hearts to still. Tsuna glanced up to see Enma's crimson hair covering his eyes and Tsuna's gaze focused on the lips. "I-I-I-I'm sorry," he spluttered embarrassed, "I should go,"
Tsuna went to pull his hands away but Enma held on tightly, "I-It is okay, Tsuna-kun... I didn't mind," and he let out a shaky breath. Nodding, Tsuna grasped Enma's hands and they sat like that silently.
Shimon would arrive home soon, and the two boys let go before they saw anything. Tsuna would be kicked out the door without a single questioned asked or even time to speak.
When Reborn returned home 2 days later announcing the Neo-Primo title, which was un-coincidentally exactly the same Vongola Decimo, he knew he had missed something in the life of his student. But he didn't tell Tsuna that.
