Because of all the horrible things that have been happening to me, the people around me, and the world, I trying to get my mind off of things with music and then I was listening to "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson in a Roxas and Sora AMV, which lead to me writing this. I would have gone into more details on some parts but some things I could not find myself bear to be able to write so I left some ideas and other details out. No. This is not a song fic. I'm also not looking for pity or anything of the sort, so please do not assume.

On the other hand, I'm not depressed and whatnot, but I'm not entirely ecstatic either. Be as it may, I'm still working on chapters to my other stories and such. (Please also note that, no, they are not depressing chapters [though it would depend on the story]).

Parings:

Cozart x Enma

Enma x Tsuna

Disclaimer: I do not own Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn or the song Because of You.


Enma would cry himself to sleep. No matter what, he could not bear to contain all the feelings that dwelled deep inside of him. He wished he could bury it, he wish he could forget it all.

He couldn't.

Enma sat up on his bed in cold sweat as he gripped his head, nails digging into his scalp and buried deep within his red locks. He wanted to let out a scream. He settled for a growl, everyone else was asleep. He felt tears well up in his eyes as he let out a silent scream.

Why? Why? Why?

He curled up into a fetal position before burying his face into his knees. He choked out a sob as he shook his head into his knees.

No… No… No…

He bit into his knee to stop from screaming. He rubbed his eyes to rid himself of his tears, but they continued to fall like a fountain, staining his shirt with the salty substance.

"Why…?" He whispered out. He glanced at the picture frame that rested on the desk across the room. "Cozart… why?"

Cozart had passed away a few days prior to Enma's breakdown. The two had been walking down the street when a card had revered onto the sidewalk and slammed roughly into Cozart. The driver had been arrested for driving under the influence and manslaughter. He was sentenced to life in prison. Enma had seen it all. He screamed out and people called an ambulance. Enma was incredibly shaken.

He had watched Cozart's heart rate slow down on the monitor before resting in a straight line. Enma heart broke into a million pieces. They could never be put back together.

He had not spoken to anyone in days.

Enma let out a strained sob before his phone lit up. Tsuna.

Enma quickly wiped his eyes and glanced at the clock. It was four in the morning, why would Tsuna be calling him?

He calmed down and picked up the phone and let out a shaky greeting.

"Enma…," Tsuna breathed out. He sounded panicked. "I felt like something was wrong. Are you feeling okay?"

Leave it to Tsuna to know.

"Y-yeah… I'm okay."

There was a moment of silence on the other end before Tsuna spoke again.

"I'll be there as fast as I can."

Before Enma could reply, there was a click on the other end signalling that Tsuna had hung up.

Enma let out a sigh before he curled up again and buried his face into his knees. He felt a few of his bangs sticking to his face with dry sweat and tears crusting on his cheeks.

"Cozart…"

It was a few moments later that Tsuna arrived and pulled Enma into an embrace.

Tsuna knew everything.

He knew that Enma loved Cozart more than a brother. He knew of their relationship and had fully supported them. He always comforted Enma when he was in need. He tried to mend Enma's broken heart. He knew that it was impossible to full repair it.

But nevertheless, he never stopped.

Enma let out mixed up sigh and sob before burying his face into Tsuna's chest. Tsuna stroked Enma's hair and held the redhead close. The two of them closed their eyes.

"Thank you Tsuna."
