Okay here I am with another oneshot, albeit quite a short one. I highly recommend you listen to the song while reading.
Disclaimer: KHR isn't mine
There was smoking rising from everywhere, the screams lost in roar of the battle, but none of that was noticed as he held onto the fragile body in his arms. Tears he ignored ran down his face as one hand tried to staunch the flow of blood seeping out from that fatal shot while the other held his lover's hand, a hand that was getting colder by the second. Hands that used to be, should've been, warm.
Tsuna looks at him with loving eyes, vision blurred, and jokes, "Kiss it all better, Reborn."
And he wants to scowl and tell him to shut up, but his throat is closed up and he can only choke out a, "Be quiet," as he clenches the hand tighter. Molten chocolate briefly looks up at the ashen sky, and there is disappoint in his eyes.
"I'm not ready to go." He whispers, his voice barely audible in this war zone, but Reborn hears him loud and clear, and his eyes are hotter than ever. Those same eyes are suddenly looking at him, burning straight to his soul as he gently says, "It's not your fault. You didn't know." But Reborn knows no matter what comes out of his mouth, he will always know that it was his fault.
The cloth he had ripped from his shirt is drenched in blood but he doesn't stop pressing down on the wound. His lips find the pale face of his ex-student, his lover, smudged with sweat, blood and tears, and presses light, desperate kisses all over it: his forehead, nose, cheeks, and mouth.
"Everything will be alright, Tsuna." He hoarsely says, and they both know he's only fooling himself.
The one that pulled the trigger is already dead, lying on the ground a few feet away, and the area around them is clear, as though everyone knew to avoid battling in that spot, giving them their moment alone.
Eyes are blinking tiredly now, and his hands are ice cold. "Stay with me Reborn, until I fall asleep, kay'?" The words slip out of his red, red lips, and Reborn finds himself kissing him once more. "Don't fall asleep, dame-Tsuna. Now's not the time." He's holding his lover in his arms, a lover that is dying. "Don't fall asleep."
There's no response for a second, and his heart pound against his chest, until he hears a small, "okay", and he can breathe a little again, but he knows, that this won't last. All the medics are dead by now, and there was no help on the way. He wouldn't make it.
"I'm tired, Reborn."
"I know."
"I'm just going to take a quick nap."
"Don't."
"But I'm tired."
"..."
"Reborn?"
"Yes?"
"Stay with me until I fall asleep?"
His breathing is shallow now, and his eyes are heavy.
"Of course."
"Thanks Reborn. I love you."
"I love you too, Tsuna."
"Kiss it all better?"
"Always."
Don't look at me, blame my friend for showing me this heartbreaking song.
