Hi! I was asked by some reviewers to write a sequel!

So... here I am! This is going to be two-shots.

Please enjoy~

"Lambo, I brought tow-" Tsuna came in the bathroom but then dropped the towels on the floor when he saw the sight of naked Lambo.

Lambo's eyes widened like a saucer and tried to cover as much as he could. "D-Dame-Tsuna! Get out! I'm trying to take a b-bath here!"

"No… way…" Tsuna rushed to his surrogated little brother and gingerly picked him up to examine the wounds he saw. "Lambo, what happened to you?!"

Lambo slightly flinched but went back to his 'normal' self. "Gyahahahaha! What are you talking about, Dame-Tsuna? Lambo-san was just taking a bath!"

"You know what I mean, Lambo. You know! Is this why you didn't want to take a bath with me or okaa-san? How long did you think you could hide this from us? Me?" Tsuna shouted, looking directly into Lambo's eyes. "Now tell me who did this to you."

Lambo's heart clenched. He wanted to say who the cause of all of his wounds was. He wanted to tell Tsuna all his problems. Never before had he ever had anyone that cared about him half as much as Tsuna did. He was grateful.

Even though he always called him 'Dame-Tsuna', it didn't mean he believed Tsuna was no good. He just wanted to be closer to his older brother figure. Reborn seemed to be very close to Tsuna and he always called Tsuna 'Dame-Tsuna'. Lambo believed that if he called his older brother figure 'Dame-Tsuna' like Reborn, Tsuna would be closer to him too!

But… he still had the doubt in his heart. For the two years he had been abused, he had matured a lot. From innocent three year old that knew nothing of the world, Lambo had become the three year old that suddenly learned the darkness of the world; the deep, deep darkness that a normal three year old should not know. For two years, he had no one to trust or lean to. For two years, the friends he made before the abuse suddenly betrayed him and left him alone. For two years, he had built up an indestructible wall around himself. He let no one in and his heart always felt empty.

He could always see darkness. The dreams he had always were nightmares about the beating he had gotten only few hours before. There was no light; nothing that could lift him up. It was then that he started to self-harm. At first, he wanted to die. Then, it became very addictive.

Then he came to Sawada residence. The brightest light he had ever seen in his short life. Every day was 'fun' and he had a friend he never thought he would have. Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Chrome, Ryohei, even Mukuro and Hibari lit up his everyday life.

It almost seemed… normal.

Then when he has a bath, all the memories of the abuse he had gotten come back to him life like a wave crashing down the sand and returns to self-harming. It wasn't as bad as he did before. Just little cuts that helped him forget about the mental pain he suffered from. It was nothing.

But… if he told Tsuna about his wounds, his pain, suffering, abuse… will Tsuna just abandon him? Lambo feared that the most. That was the main reason why he desperately tried to hide the scars from Tsuna. His only light; the thought of his only path of life thinking that Lambo is a worthless child just like his boss did only killed in the inside.

He would rather hide his pain from everyone than get hurt emotionally from them. Even though the doubts kill him in the inside, he would rather hide it and act as if the pain was not there, because they are the reason he is living now.

He had a dream. He wanted to be a normal five year old boy. Back then, it seemed unreal. It seemed impossible, but living with the Sawada residence started to make him think otherwise.

Could he trust Tsuna?

"Lambo…" Tsuna choked in his own spit. "Please tell me. I just want to know who hurt you, so I can go punish the person that dared to hurt my little brother."

Lambo's head shot up at the last words. Little brother… Tsuna considered him as his little brother? His clenching heart warmed up and the tingling sensation went away.

Yes; Lambo can trust the man in front of him because he was Lambo's older brother. Siblings trust each other and will care for one another no matter what.

Even though the tears Lambo shed in the past were fake to trick Tsuna and the others that he was a normal little boy, real tears chocked up Lambo. The comfort he felt… The sensation of trust he felt… Was it just one of his dreams? Those cruel dreams that made him feel hopeless every day?

While the turmoil was going on in Lambo's head, Tsuna did one thing he could think of. Tsuna embraced Lambo gently.

Lambo's eyes widened widely and tears just poured down his face. He pinched himself on the face. It hurt… Which meant this wasn't a dream. The doubt he felt before disappeared. Even though Tsuna's frame was small, it was enough for Lambo to feel safe; protected.

He wailed and hugged Tsuna as tightly as he could. "B-b-b-boss did this to me! The entire B-b-b-b-bovino family did this! T-t-t-t-they spat at m-m-me and they called me worthless! They t-t-t-told me that I s-should have b-been born! Every single day, they b-b-beat me until I was h-half d-d-dead… Then th-they sent me to the suicide m-mission and I thought… Might as well d-d-die… Then you showed me k-k-kindness! You showed me l-l-love! Tsuna-nii… Help me!"

Tsuna patted Lambo's back as soothingly as he could and whispered, "I will, Lambo. Believe in me. I will help you. Bovino Family will be no more. No one will say or mention them now. I promise I will make that happen."

Lambo couldn't say anything but managed to choke out. "Un!" with a vigorous nod.

"I will protect you from those people, Lambo. I will make them regret they ever laid their hands on you."

Once again, Lambo vigorously nodded and choked out, "Un!"

"I love you, Lambo."

Those four words just made Lambo cry even harder. He wailed and wailed in Tsuna's chest, clenching the clothes with his two little hands.

Tsuna stood there, hugging Lambo and kept on telling him soothing, encouraging words for an hour. He didn't move, or complain about how much his arms hurt from holding Lambo. He just stood there, hugging Lambo like he should.

After a while, Lambo regained the control of his crying. He whispered out in a hoarse voice, "Tsuna-nii…"

"Yes, Lambo?" Tsuna smiled gently at him.

"Can I be a normal five year old boy?"

"Of course."

"Am I allowed to laugh like a five year old?"

"Of course."

"Can I whine and beg like a five year old?"

"Of course."

"Am I allowed to… have fun like a normal five year old?"

Tsuna hugged Lambo even tighter. "Of course you can. You can laugh, whine, beg, run, annoy, love, and of course, have fun like a normal five year old boy and I will never ever leave you. Never will I abandon you or abuse you because I love you and you are my family."

"Tsuna-nii!" Lambo buried his face in Tsuna's chest once again.
