Hello my precious readers. Not too long ago, I heard about the challenge from 7227li. Of course it was suppose be based on 8027. The main theme for this contest/challenge is mistletoe. The story is a one-shot and must be a romance. And the story is rated accordingly by grammar (15 points), Choice of Title (5 points), Content and Idea (20 points), whether the characters are totally in character or not (10 points), The use of the theme object: mistletoe (20 points), and the sweetness of the pairing itself (20 points). Plus the Uniqueness of the story (10 points). The prize for the winners is reasonable too I guess. But the main reason I'm doing this is because the idea of 7227li liking this story appeals me since 7227li is my favorite writer. And I love 8027. Like a lot… So here we go.

Christmas finally made its way this time of year. And it's known to be a romantic holiday, aside from Valentine, during the wintry season. Tsuna sighed again for the tenth time again in class. Apparently, this Christmas he is spending time alone. His mother and father are going on a Hawaiian vacation. They wished the best for him before they could even say a proper goodbye. Even Reborn was kind enough to leave the brunet alone for today so he can unwind. That and the fact he left for a Vongola's Christmas party, taking Bianchi with him. Also, Gokudera somehow vanished. Tsuna's guess was that Bianchi must have taken him along with her. And the idea of him spending time with his guardians didn't really appeal to him as much as he hoped. Plus, they have their own family to celebrate with.

"Tsuna!" A voice called out to him.

Tsuna looked up from his desk to see Yamamoto running towards him. Strangely, the baseball idol had a crumpled up paper in hand. Tsuna blushed at the sight of his best friend. It wasn't long when he discovered his true feelings for the baseball fanatic. His feelings for Kyoko weren't really actual love, but admiration instead. It was a bit of a shocker till he finally settled down with the idea. That and Reborn was getting sick of all of complaining that it was all a lie. Reborn sure knocked some sense to him that day.

"Oh, Yamamoto-kun, what is it?" He asked.

"Did you hear that the school is holding a shooting star party tonight?"

Tsuna looked at Yamamoto with a questionable look. He heard on TV that there was a meteor shower tonight that happens every hundred years. And it's also a best way to tell a special someone that they like them or have a romantic date. Also, there was a legend that said if you ever confess to your crush under that starry night, it would come true. But Tsuna isn't the one to believe in those types of cliché legends or rumors.

"Are you thinking of going?"

"Well I'm not really sure. But it kind of sounds fun. Maybe I guess." He answered questionably.

"Then I'll see you there." Yamamoto smiled.

Everyone returned to his or her seats as the teacher arrived. Tsuna can hear mumblings from the females as they discuss about the party. It seems like they were pretty excited about it and made plans to confess to their crushes. The main target was, of course, Yamamoto. But up until now, Tsuna never saw Yamamoto accept a single love letters or agreed to date any of the female students in the school. That was also the reason why he hasn't asked the baseball idol out yet. He was worried that he might get rejected and jeopardizes their friendship. If it isn't awkward enough when he's around the older male.

Since it was Christmas, the school was decorated in ornaments for the holiday. And the main item that made it special for couples, and worse nightmare for singles, is the mistletoe. Around small, certain rooms within the school, there are a few mistletoes for the people that are in a lovely-dovey mood. And Tsuna is trying to avoid them as much as he can. Especially when some are daggling around the hallways. He wasn't really sure about Yamamoto though. But he seems fine with it. And he definitely doesn't know how Hibari feels about it in his precious school.

Class ended when the final bell rang across the room, signaling students that it was lunchtime. Both Tsuna and Yamamoto grabbed their lunch and head towards the rooftop. Since Gokudera isn't around, it might be a bit peaceful for once.

"So Tsuna, what do you think about all the mistletoe around the school?"

"I don't really mind the mistletoe. Just as long as I don't get caught under one." Tsuna answered while eating his lunch.

"Why not?"

"There isn't anyone I like right now and if I were under one, wouldn't the kiss be meaningless since it's not with the one I love?"

Yamamoto only stared at Tsuna blankly. The brunet sighed. He wasn't really expecting anything from the older male. There was an awkward atmosphere lingering between the two. Since Tsuna wanted to get rid of it, he decided to get a few drinks for them. Without waiting for a reply from Yamamoto, Tsuna made a quick dash.

Tsuna got one small carton of milk for Yamamoto and one hot chocolate for himself. He was about to return to Yamamoto at the rooftop till a group of girls gathered around, or likely surrounded, him. He can see determination in their eyes. That or they want something out of him. They always do.

"You're Tsunayoshi Sawada, right?"

Tsuna nodded his head reluctantly.

"We want you to tell him to meet us at the science room on the third floor okay?" One of the girls asked.

Being brave, or idiotic, Tsuna said no. Apparently, the girls weren't too happy with Tsuna's response. Feeling a bit in danger, Tsuna made a dash pass them so he could reach the rooftop. The thing he didn't suspect was for the girls to chase him. Tsuna began to panic even worse. Just when the girls were about to close in on him, a mysterious person pulled him aside in an empty classroom as the group of angry girls pass by. Half of Tsuna was relief, but the other half was in a small panic since he doesn't know who rescued him.

"Don't worry Tsuna. It's me Yamamoto."

"Yamamoto-kun!" Tsuna exclaimed quietly.

Tsuna turned around to face Yamamoto in the dark classroom. Tsuna blushed at how close they were to each other. Tsuna pulled away from the baseball idol as he can feel his body heating up.

"Ah, look Tsuna. A mistletoe." Yamamoto laughs.

Tsuna looked up above him to see that there is one mistletoe hanging around. Tsuna's eyes widen. At a moment like this, why now?

"Kind of strange how Tsuna."

Tsuna was about to say something when his eyes made contact with Yamamoto's. He noticed how gentle Yamamoto looked right now. It was so hypnotizing that he forgot that the distance between him and Yamamoto were coming to a close.

"Tsuna, I…"

Tsuna closed his eyes when both his and Yamamoto's lips connected. His heart began to beat rapidly. The thing he couldn't believe was that there was a spark between them. A single spark that let him know that he really is in love with the older male. Tsuna cling to Yamamoto as the baseball fanatic embraced Tsuna to pull him closer.

Tsuna finally pulled away from Yamamoto when his lungs were out of air. Their eyes were locked onto each other, unable to look away. Just when Yamamoto was going for another heated kiss from the brunet, Tsuna pushed the male away and brought his hands to his mouth. Tsuna didn't look at the rain guardian, he just couldn't. Not from how he was behaving not too long ago.

"Yamamoto-kun, I-"

"I guess that kiss was meaningless to you." Yamamoto said sadly.

Tsuna's eyes widen as he looked at his rain guardian in shock.

"Maybe it was my fault for having high hopes from that. Sorry Tsuna."

Tsuna was in complete shock. He couldn't even move a single muscle to show the other male that he was wrong. The fact that Yamamoto having feelings for him wasn't cooperating with his mental state. He just stared at him with hands covering his mouth. Since he wasn't going to get an answer at any time, Yamamoto left the room. Tsuna slid down to the floor.

"Yamamoto-kun…" He whispered quietly to himself.

"Yamamoto-kun, wait!"

Tsuna rose up from the floor and rush out of the room. He looked around to see if the rain guardian was in sight. Unfortunately, he wasn't.

"I like you." Tsuna said, not expecting a miracle to happen.

"Sawada?"

Throughout the day, Yamamoto didn't show up to class. Of course he knew this would happen. Instead of him being rejected, Yamamoto was the one that had to suffer from a broken heart. Tsuna ruffles his hair in distress. What he is supposed to do? If only Reborn was here to help him. Then again, that would be a nightmare.

Tsuna pulled out a small present that was given to him by Kyoko. Well not directly since Ryohei gave it to him, but it was still from Kyoko. He was told that he must open it during the shooting star party. He didn't know the reason why and he doesn't really care about it as much.

"Well, I think some of you already know by now that the school is holding a party. Make sure to have fun and don't go too wild." The teacher warned.

With that, the final bell rung. Tsuna grabbed his belongings and left for the day. He walked home alone as he thought of a way to apologize to the older male. Maybe then there wouldn't be any misunderstanding. That's when an idea popped in his head. There was a party going on in the school. Since there might be a chance that he would go, it could be Tsuna's chance to clear any problems.

"I can do it. I have to."

The sun finally set and the starry night was wearing its moon pendant. Tsuna rushed to the school in search of Yamamoto. Nearing the school, Tsuna spotted Yamamoto. He was about to call out his name, but he utterly stopped midway. Yamamoto was with someone. Maybe it was his date. Tsuna can feel his heart breaking into million pieces. A string of tears stung his eyes.

"Maybe it was meaningless after all."

Tsuna wanted to run away. Run away from all this nonsense, pain, and especially Yamamoto. But he couldn't. He can't always choose to run away from his problems all the time. He decided on to clean the misunderstanding later. For now, he wanted to enjoy the shooting stars somehow. He found an empty classroom on the third floor and stared out the window, waiting to see any falling meteors.

Without him knowing, someone snuck in.

"Look what I got here."

Tsuna looked at the intruder in shock. It was one of the bullies in the school. Panic took its course on Tsuna as he tried to run away from the enemy. But unfortunately, it didn't turn out as he hoped it would. He grabbed Tsuna by the throat and pressed him against the wall. Hard. Tsuna's eyes closed as tears began to stream down.

"Yamamoto-kun…" Tsuna whispered from his struggle.

"Eh? What did you say?"

"Yamamoto-kun." Tsuna said a bit louder.

"'Yamamoto-kun'? As if he can come save you know idiot." The male smirked.

"Yamamoto-kun!" Tsuna shouted.

"Like I said, he-"

"Someone called me?"

The violent male looked behind him to see Yamamoto stand before him with his sword behind his head.

"Let Tsuna go and leave." He ordered firmly.

Doing what the other male ordered, he release Tsuna and scattered out the room. Tsuna dropped to the floor, trying to regain his breath. His hands were clinging to his neck desperately. Yamamoto rushed in for an embrace. He drew the brunet closer as he tried to calm his own nerve.

"Yamamoto-kun, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He said between breaths.

"It's okay. Don't worry Tsuna."

Through the warm embrace, Tsuna noticed a small sky blue covered box. That's when his mind connected together. It was the present Kyoko gave him. He thought that it was home originally. Why it is here? Tsuna signaled Yamamoto to release. Reluctantly, Yamamoto did so. Tsuna approach the small box and examine it. He was right. It was the same box. Tsuna opened it, revealing a single mistletoe with a tuna and baseball charm attached to it. He turned around to show it to Yamamoto. He only laughed.

"Tsuna, there is something I want to tell you for a really long time."

"Yamamoto-kun?"

"I like you. A lot. More than a friend should. Please consider my feelings."

Tsuna's eyes soften and smiled. Tsuna pulled Yamamoto down for a kiss with the mistletoe in hand. Almost on cue, shooting stars appear and fireworks exploded in the night sky. Not only did it make the scene itself romantic, it showed how they felt inside.

"I already have."

That night, Tsuna spent most of his time together with his lover in his arms. They can surely say that this Christmas is the best one yet.

In Sicily, Italy, Reborn sat on his leather chair, smirking. Just moments ago, he saw Tsuna finally making his move on the rain guardian on a small screen. Reborn pet his chameleon in amusement.

"Dame-Tsuna finally grew a back bone."

"Reborn-san…"

Reborn looked away from the screen to the bomber. Apparently, he didn't react to any of the actions Tsuna made recently.

"I guess Yamamoto beat you to it."

"Yeah. As long as the Tenth is happy, I'll be fine."

Reborn smirked.

"I see. Do as you wish."

Gokudera bowed and left the room. Reborn returned to the screen before he resumed to think. This is going to be very interesting.

"Merry Christmas."
