Reborn can't help but feel rather ridiculous. Here he is, standing in the middle of a bakery in a very expensive tailored suit buying bread with the Vongola Decimo, the whispers and stares don't help either.
"Dame-Tsuna, why exactly are we buying bread?"
Tsuna smiles and thanks the cashier, grabbing his bread while simultaneously dragging Reborn out of the shop.
"Because I've finally finished my paperwork and it's a beautiful day. I can buy some groceries and make us dinner tonight. Plus, we haven't gone on a date for a while… Aren't you happy that I'm going to make dinner for you?"
Reborn sighs but follows anyway. He supposes he could have dressed in civilian clothes like Tsuna but…in many ways, his suit is as important as gun!
"Alright! I'm done grocery shopping! It's still quite early…let's go to the park!" And before Reborn can even think of protesting, Tsuna is already dragging him to the park.
"Reborn…you have to admit, it is a nice date."
Reborn nods, it is indeed a nice day. The sun is blocked by the clouds and their park bench is shaded by a tree, although he questions the 'date' aspect of it. There is nothing really date-like about buying groceries but he won't voice it, Reborn doesn't want to ruin the atmosphere.
There is a moment of silence before Reborn feels a weight on his shoulder. He turns his head and light brown hair tickles his chin. He chuckles softly, trust Dame-Tsuna to fall asleep on their 'date' but…he supposes paperwork has been tough lately. Gently, he pries Tsuna's hands from the grocery bag and places it next to him; he pushes Tsuna away and removes his jacket before covering Tsuna with it.
Tsuna's head falls back onto Reborn's shoulder and he shifts a bit but remains asleep. Satisfied, Reborn relaxes and pulls down his fedora a bit, lips uplifted in an almost imperceptible smile. As the park begins to empty out, Reborn glances at his watch and figures it's about time to return. But as Tsuna snuggles in more and lets out a contented sigh, Reborn decided to let him rest a few more minutes.
The minutes turn into more minutes and they soon turn into hours…but by then, Reborn is already asleep, hands entwined with Tsuna's…
"Reborn…sky arcobalenos are cursed with a short life. But… you'll be happy with someone else."
Luce smiles the smile he loves so but this time his heart clenches for an entirely different reason.
"Oh, don't be so skeptical. Take this from a sky arcobaleno who knows… you'll be happy, so don't be so grumpy, okay?"
What can he say to that? Reborn simply can't imagine anyone who could ever match up to her. But…
"…If you say so"
It is the last time Reborn ever sees her alive.
"Reborn? Wake up!" hands gently shake him awake and when Reborn opens his eyes, it is already dark. Reborn stands and stretches, a rather bitter taste in his mouth. He tries to ignore it as Tsuna smiles and hands him his jacket, grocery bag already in his hand.
"Shall we go?" Fingers intertwined, they make their back home. There is a moment of silence as the dream-memory continues to haunt Reborn.
"Tsuna…you know I love you…right?"
Because Reborn has fallen in love with the sky before only for him to fall to the ground before he can even touch it. Tsuna's fragile hand is just a reminder how easily he can fall from the unreachable sky.
"Yeah…I love you too." And Tsuna grips his hand a little tighter and Reborn walks a little closer to his beloved sky.
Together, they walk home, both filled with a love words can never describe.
