Right under your nose

Summary: Some things are just too obvious to notice. That is something Tsuna and Gokudera have yet to realize, but what does the blue-haired mist guardian have to do with all of this?

Pairings: Gokudera x Tsuna, Mukuro x Tsuna, maybe others in later chapters?

A/N: This fanfiction was actually SUPPOSED to be a oneshot concentrating on 5927 for a contest by a friend on deviantART. Well, 'unfortunately' though another friend of mine wrote an absolutely adorable 6927 fanfiction for the same contest (go check it out on Nebbio's gallery on deviantART^^) and on top of that she's a fabulous Mukuro cosplayer and her pictures together with our Tsuna are gorgeous and I love 6927anyway and... you get the idea ^^;
So in the end I just couldn't decide who of these two gentlemen was going to get our dear Tsuna and thus the Fanfiction turned out longer than expected and even I am not apsolutely sure who is going to get Tsuna in the end^^;

This Fanfiction is dedicated to my one and only Juudaime (oni-no-yo-na-ningen on deviantART)

~Prologue~

It was night and it was dark inside the spacious appartment, only a single ray of light creeping through a slightly ajar door and falling across the timber flooring to illuminate a part of the corridor.
Muffled noises could be heard coming from that room as inside two persons were passionately entangled on the large bed , naked bodies sliding against each other bringing forth moans of pleasure.
Lovingly the taller one looked down into those hazel orbs that belonged to the person he had been in love with for years but never actually had the guts to tell. There had always been too much at stake but now he had somehow managed to convey his feelings. Threading his fingers through that unruly, spiky brown hair of the shorter male he leant down to press a deep kiss to his lips.
"I love you Tenth", he whispered as his body moved forward entering that welcoming heat and eliciting a pleasurable moan from the man underneath him...

Gokudera woke with a start as his cellphone rang on the bedside table.
Without even taking the time to recognize the familiar ringtone or the the person it indicated he answered the small device whit a very grumpy-sounding "Yes?"
For a moment there was nothing but silence and he was already contemplating on hanging up again when the silver haired guardian heard a soft voice he'd recognize everywhere.
"Uh, sorry Gokudera-kun, did I wake you up?" he asked shyly which brought a soft smile to the storm guardians lips.

It had been years since they first met back in Namimori middle school and the young Vongola boss had matured a lot both physically and mentally but there where still times where it did not seem that long ago. Times where he would look at the tenth Vongola boss and still see the same shy, self-concious but adorable and strong-willed teen he had got to know back then.
"Don't worry Tenth my alarm would have went off any minute anyway." he lied so that the other male would not feel too guilty.

"So what is it Tenth?", he asked in a light voice though he could clearly feel the throbbing headache now that the last remnants of sleep were fading away.
"Actually there is this event, a decadal birthday party of another Famiglias' boss, that I need to attend this evening and Reborn said that I had to take at least one guardian with me so I wanted to ask you to accompany me.", he answered still seeming a bit reluctant to ask this of his guardian after so focrefully waking him up earlier. "You don't have to of course. I know that you've just gotten back from America yesterday and if you don't want to I can just ask..." "I'll come with you!", he blurted out, cutting off the other male before he could finish his sentence.

As theVongola Tenth' right-hand man Gokudera knew of course the schedules of the other guardians and which missions they were assigned to. And so of course he knew that besides himself the only guardian not out on a mission right now was their male mist guardian and leaving the Tenth alone with that pineapple-haired bastard was definitely NOT an option.

...at least not as long as Gokudera still had a say in it, too.
