Title: Best Friend
Summary: Best friends have it tough when they're in love with their best friend, especially if said best friend's the same gender. Take Enma for instance though it might not be that hard after all.
Pairing: 0027, slight all27 if you look closely
Black-chan: This was a request for Namimori-Skylark-18. Here's your 0027 one-shot Sky-chan~! I don't own KHR 'cause if that were to happen, it would be turned into yaoi~!

Enma sighed as another normal day ended. Not that he was wanting those really dangerous kind of days from before or anything.

He just really felt bored at times.

Okay. In truth, he was troubled by the growing fact that he was falling hard for his best friend who was the same gender and was practically straight.

It started as soon as they got to know each other and mended the broken friendship of the Shimon and Vongola Family. They were similar yet still different from each other.

"Um..."

Speak of a devil—or in this case, an angel.

The red-haired blinked, looking at the blushing-furious face of his said best friend in front of him and wondered why the other was alone—or the two of them alone for a fact.

"Tsuna?" he called out and raised an eyebrow when the male just nodded silently. He turned slightly cautioned. "Did something happened?"

Tsuna shook his head immediately and then stared at him eye-to-eye—and was it just the Shimon Decimo or did the Vongola Decimo just blushed harder if possible?

"ILIKEYOUANDGOODBYE!"

Enma stared at the running boy in astonishment and blinked in confusion.

"Eh?"

He was not able to catch the words since they were too fast and he wondered what's it's all about.

'Tsuna was blushing so he must be embarrassed... Maybe he thought he did something wrong to me and was apologizing?' he thought obliviously as he walked home, trying hard not to trip from air.

"Or maybe I did something wrong?"

The boy really did trip with that.

.oxo.

"I'm home," Tsuna exclaimed dejectedly as he walked to his room, barely hearing to his mother's reply of welcome home.

He opened the door of his room and was greeted by the sight of a heavily excited Bianchi and a smirking Reborn.

He almost cried at that sight.

"So how'd your confession go?"

Correction; He really did cry.

"Reborn! Why did you tell me to confess?! I just found out yesterday!" the mafia don cried out the unfairness of his tutor which was now an adult and even complained why Bianchi was involved.

And to keep the story short, yesterday, Tsuna told Reborn about his heart seemed to beat faster when his with his best friend and he found himself daydreaming about said best friend and appearing out of nowhere, Bianchi announced it's love.

But of course, he was in denial—seriously, they were best friends and the same gender and he liked Kyoko!—though after a deep reasoning, he found himself agreeing with them.

And of course that didn't end there, they taught him about all the stuffs about yaoi and etc. that were not suitable for children—he cried at the lost of innocent!—and also, they wanted him to confess ASAP.

So looked where it lead him.

"There's no way he likes me back!" Tsuna shouted at the top of his lungs while the two made a pointed look at him, making him bite his lips. "I appreciate the help but there's no way that'll be possible..."

It was weird for Tsuna to feel this way. When he was just crushing Kyoko, he didn't feel insecure that much to lost their friendship at trying to confess but with Enma, he didn't want to stop their friendship because of his confession. He wanted to at least be with him even just a friend though he felt a pain at that thought.

Maybe this was a real love and not mere crush?

Bianchi sighed in exasperation and Reborn chuckled like it was a joke.

"You don't know that for sure and it's nice to let them out, right?" his tutor asked knowingly.

The brunette pouted having full awareness he's right. Though he did wondered about the first part and why his hyper intuition acted out.

He could only wait for tomorrow for the answer.

.oxo.

Enma decided today he'll apologize to Tsuna alone for not catching his words in lunch break which was now in place.

"Tsuna," he called out, making the brunette froze in place. "Can I talk to you in private?"

The boy blushed a little before nodding and smiling in reassurance to his friends. He walked by the red-haired and followed him to a place where no student were in sight.

"Tsuna, I'm sorry but I—"

"It's fine!" Tsuna interrupted a bit shakily with hint of sadness and dejection and Enma stared in confusion. "I guess that means you don't like me that way, huh?"

Giving no time to answer, the young Vongola ran back to the classroom, leaving a very much bewildered Shimon boss.

"What did he meant by that?" Enma thought curiously and worriedly before running to the boy.

He opened the door and was greeted by the sight of Tsuna crying on his chair with Gokudera and Yamamoto looking pretty worried. He moved forward and both Tsuna and Gokudera noticed him almost immediately.

"Bastard, what did you do to Juudaime?!" the storm guardian asked in rage, holding out his dynamites while Yamamoto quickly tried to calm him down.

Everyone watched in wonder and interest. Those two were after all best friends.

"Gokudera-kun, it's not Enma-kun's fault," the sky boss stated sadly. "I kinda confessed..."

The young Shimon raised an eyebrow to that, not fully getting the confession part. "What confession?" he asked obliviously. "I was going to apologize and say that I didn't catch what you said yesterday."

Tsuna blinked and stared at the other. "Eh? T-t-that m-m-means y-y-you d-didn't h-heard m-me s-say I-I l-like y-you?!" he shouted in shock but then beeped red at the gasps of everyone in the room. "HIEE! I-I-I m-mean! ...I..."

"You like me?" Enma said aloud with redness that rivaled his blush and blushed harder when the brunette nodded nervously as a yes. "Well, I like you too...as more than a friend actually..."

The small boy looked up, their eyes meeting each other and the redness of their faces were just making tomatoes jealous. "E-eh? T-then d-does t-that m-mean w-we'll b-be g-going o-out n-now?" he titled his head curiously and cutely and the red-haired nodded, still with the blushes.

And the crowd exploded.

"This is just so wrong but why is it too cute?!"

"Kyaaa~! Sooo kawaiii~!"

"Who's the seme and uke?"

"I'm taking pictures and sending this to everyone!"

"Herbivores," Hibari came out of nowhere causing the ruckus to go silent and glared at the two red-faced new couple. "If you guys show public display of affection again and cause drama, I'll bite you two to death, especially you red-haired herbivore."

"Wait, what did Hibari-san mean by that?" some students asked confusedly at those words while Enma sweat-dropped slightly and mumbled under his breath, "Did he just warn me he'll beat me up if I made Tsuna cry?"

"What do you mean, Enma-kun?" Tsuna asked curiously. He did not know that the perfect had a sweet spot for him since he looked a lot like a small cute animal.

The boy was about to answer when Gokudera suddenly blocked his path to the other. "Bastard, I still don't approve of you for Juudaime!" he said angrily, glaring at the boy who tried hard not to flinch.

"Maa, maa. Let's give him a chance, Dera-kun," Yamamoto laughed casually stopping the bomber and averting his anger to him.

Enma was thankful at that.

"And if he did something wrong to Tsuna, we'll have a serious talk to him."

Scratch that. The Shimon boss was more afraid to the rain guardian than the storm guardian.

"Oh yeah," a female classmate exclaimed and pointed at the new couple. "Do you two know yaoi?"

Tsuna froze and took Enma's hand. "Let's get out of here!" he ran for his life, dragging his lover and barely registering the fact he skipped class.

The whole class was quiet before the same girl laughed.

"Aw~ They're holding hands~"

.oxo.

"Tsuna, we skipped," Enma stated seriously at the panting boy.

Tsuna looked teary. "I know! I'm sorry, Enma-kun!" he bowed quickly.

"It's fine," the boy was not listening to the red-haired and he thought hard for a minute. "I'll forgive in one condition."

"What?" the brunette looked up determinedly. "I'll do anything!"

The young Shimon blushed a little and hold the other's hand tighter.

"Call me by my name...without honorifics..."

The Vongola boss blushed at that and was about to agree when the other continued.

"And let's go on a date?"

Black-chan: ...this is like a shoujo manga... And hope someone enjoyed this~? XP And why do I feel a Protective!Guardians Vs Boyfriend!Enma here~? xDDD
