Part 2! Enjoy!
22. Japan - At first, Xanxus hated Japan. Too many crowds, confusing street layouts, horrible food. But after spending time with a certain Japanese native, he thought it wasn't so bad after all.
23. Cat - Xanxus wasn't sure how or when the little furball managed to worm his way into their lives. But when Tsuna left, Xanxus was secretly grateful for the little creature's company.
24. Loneliness - Tsuna shouldn't have any need to feel lonely, being surrounded by his beloved family. But every time he and Xanxus had to part, a familiar ache would always return.
25. Insomnia - On the nights when Xanxus simply couldn't sleep, he found comfort in the sound of Tsuna's gentle heartbeat, which would eventually lull him back to sleep.
26. Action - Tsuna and Xanxus's favorite weekend hobby was to watch action movies and comment on how fake the fights were.
27. Cigarette - Xanxus rarely smoked. He never really knew why he picked up the habit, but every once in a while he felt like he just needed one. When Tsuna discovered his habit, he promptly removed the cigarette and leaned up to replace it with his own lips. Xanxus suddenly felt like he didn't need another cigarette for as long as he lived.
28. Shooting Stars - "Look Xanxus! A shooting star. Make a wish." Tsuna would smile and point to the sky. "But my wish already came true." Xanxus whispered back, hugging the smaller body of the one he loved against his.
29. Forgotten - Xanxus knew what today was, but couldn't care less. No one else knew, nor cared, so why should he? It wasn't until later that night, when he returned to his apartment, to find dinner set by candle light, and a smiling mafia boss all dressed up, that Xanxus began to look forward to his birthday more often.
30. Boredom - "I'm bored" An irritated Xanxus announced, standing in front of Tsuna's desk.Tsuna just hummed in reply, not looking up from the paper he was reading. "So, do something." He replied. "Alright" Xanxus smirked, and promptly hauled Tsuna up over his desk.
31. Sweet - Xanxus generally hated sweets. But his only exception was one chocolate and whipped-cream covered Vongola boss. It was his favorite dessert.
32. Night - During the day, life was all chaos and heat. Life came at them at full force, and they charged forward at breakneck speed. But once night set, the stress of the day slowly unwound. They took things slowly, calmly, and treated each moment like it was their one and only time.
33. Wrath - "You didn't have to hit the man. And setting his car on fire was a bit overkill." Tsuna grumbled, looking warily up at a still seething Xanxus. "Fuck that, he tried to give me a ticket!" Xanxus crossed his arms angrily, watching the smoke rise from the destroyed police car. "You were driving at 120mph. I think he had good reason to want to pull us over."
34. Lies - He thought they were lies. The whispers and rumors, that the tenth Vongola had returned from the dead. Every time he heard them, his stone-cold heart would throb painfully in his chest. But when he finally saw him, the younger version of the one who changed his world, his heart just crumbled further. Life couldn't have been more cruel.
35. Love - Tsuna thought he knew love when had a crush on Kyoko. But comparing what he once felt for her, and what he feels for Xanxus now, his feelings for her can't even compare.
36. Movie - "Come on, it wasn't that bad." Tsuna laughed at Xanxus's expression of disgust and boredom. "I'm sorry, but giant robots from space that turn into cars has got to be the dumbest idea - ever. I get next pick." Xanxus flicked cold pieces of popcorn to the kitten who eagerly chased after each piece. Tsuna just sighed and took the bowl away from Xanxus before he made a mess. "Alright, but as long as it's not another Saw movie. You don't need any new ideas on different ways to kill people."
37. Eyes - Chills ran down Xanxus's spine every time he saw those eyes. Orange in color, dead yet so alive. Eyes that held the answers to universe.
38. Batman - Tsuna couldn't help but laugh when he found out that Xanxus had never heard of Batman. "What kind of idiot dresses up in tights and a rubber suit and goes leaping from building to building at night?"
39. Dance - One thing both Xanxus and Tsuna had in common, was that no amount of persuasion, alcohol or blackmail could get them onto a dance floor.
40. 4:29PM - "Time of death, 4:29PM". When those words were spoken, Xanxus's heart died with Tsuna's.
Tell me what you think! See you tomorrow!
