Well, I had this idea the other day, and I wanted to try my hand at a KHR fic (seeing as I just finished re-reading it today), so here we are. I hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: Do I really even need to say it? The site is called fanfiction, after all.
WARNING: Contains spoilers for chapter 346 and anything before that, for that matter.

Sawada Tsunayoshi shot up in bad, breathing heavily. He had had that dream again. The dream of the future. A future he hoped never to face again. Resting his head in this hands, he steadied his breathing. Tsuna had been plagued by that nightmare at least once a week ever since they had returned to the past from 10 in the future. And even though he had been assured by Yuni as well as the rest of the arcobaleno that their future would be different, that Byakuran was gone for good, that that future would never come to pass, he still couldn't shake the fear that they were wrong.
"That dream again?" Tsuna looked over to see Reborn sitting up in his own bed.
"Yeah." Tsuna didn't even bother to ask how Reborn knew about the dream, despite the fact that he had never told anyone about it. He just always seemed to know these things. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
"I know." Reborn replied before laying down once again. After a few minutes of silence, Tsuna assumed that his tutor had fallen asleep and moved to follow suit when Reborn spoke up once again, "You know, it isn't going to happen."
"I know that everyone keeps telling me that, but I can't shake the feeling that they're wrong." Tsuna replied, clutching his arms as he finally revealed one of his biggest fears to the listening world.
"But Tsuna," Reborn began, "We already know that they're right. From something that happened in this era." Tsuna's ears picked up.
"What do you mean?"
"Rokudo Mukuro." Reborn stated. Tsuna sat up fully, facing the arcobaleno, "Remember, in that time line, he was still in the Vindice prison ten years from now. But for us, he was just released the other day. That is something major that didn't happen in Byakuran's time, therefore clearly separating us from him." Tsuna let out a feeble laugh.
"Oh why didn't I think of that before." He said, head back, one hand over his eyes, and his voice filled with relief.
"Because you're an idiot." Reborn jibed, "Now be quiet, I want to sleep." And with that, the baby rolled over, away from Tsuna. Tsuna himself lay down and fell asleep, not worrying at all about a future that would not come to pass after all.
