Overall surprised that Tsuna took the lead and super proud for the protagonist who can't be called No-Good anymore *round of applause* Hope this author here will do a good job on writing a bit of Road Tsuna for you readers.
BACK IN THE BALLROOM ONCE EVERYTHING SETTLED
"What are you waiting for, baka Tsuna? Go and ask your civilian guest for a dance! In the mafia, we treasure women and make sure to always apologize when causing them trouble."
BAM. Tsuna is sent flying towards you by a kick from the little suit-wearing baby called Reborn, and you hold your hand to him to help him stand, still a bit baffled by everything that just happened, but not forgetting you own a big thanks to Tsuna for having saved you from that octopus cyborg.
"Ah, hmm, I-I'm shoree..." Tsuna stutters in approximate English while massaging his head, seeming back to his usual shy self.
...just where has the confident Tsuna from the fight gone, you can't help wondering... And it seems it had been your mistake all along when you had thought his eyes shined of orange-gold in fusion, because no matter how much you stare at them, they're plain brown...
"Ah hum, is-is there something on my face...? Y-you know, I'm really really sorry for what happened, and you can hit me in exchange, but... can you please just dance first and hit me once Reborn is out of sight, pleez...?" The whisper badly hidden behind his hand makes you want and giggle, not sure how he came to conclusion of you wanting to hit him, so you nod your agreement for a dance with a crooked glance for the little baby who seems more than eyes meet.
"Ah! Sankyu (Jap. simplified pronounciation of thank you)!" Tsuna smiles of relief and hurries to take your hand to walk away towards the dancefloor, too happy yet nervous at the same time to escape Reborn.
As if that had been what the orchestra had been waiting all along, notes start rising under the high ceilings of the Ballroom, and other couples form themselves around Vongola Decimo and his partner, meaning you, while Dino is cheering from the sidelines while instructing the violinists to lower their tempo so that it wouldn't too fast for his sworn brother. A kick from Reborn and Dino's kind attentions for Tsuna are being ignored, the little baby in suit seeming to enjoy watching Tsuna struggle at a fast tempo.
"... m-my bad, I'm... uwaah, it was right, it was right foot first...!" Tsuna starts panicking while looking down at his feet, his hand feeling sweaty in yours although he doesn't let go of you nonetheless. "Reborn is going to kill me, uwaaah..."
Looking at him like that, it's a wonder how you heart skipped a beat before when he had held you in his arms to save you from your doom... But stealing heartbeats from you or not, you still owe him some thanks for having saved you, so you should speak up now that you have the chance.
"...ano...?"
"Hmm?"
But just as you've started muttering the beginning of a sentence, you notice behind Tsuna's back the black barrel of a green gun pointed in his direction by Reborn, the baby's finger already about to press the trigger.
You don't think twice before dragging Tsuna in a twirl to replace his back by yours in the trajectory, closing your eyes already in apprehension.
"AH!"
But Tsuna has already noticed the same thing as you now that he's standing in your previous spot, and he keeps the twirl going with more strength than you'd have imagined him capable of, completing the loop and bringing him back to square one as the target.
PAN.
Tsuna's hands hold you tighter when the detonation is heard, and your eyes widen and widen at seeing his expression freeze, not having to be a genius to guess that he's received the projectile in his back or the back of his head.
"...N...!"
But just as your expression was turning horrified, your feel Tsuna's hand squeezing yours tighter as his eyes find focus again... but this time engulfed by orange gold in fusion.
"...sigh." The deep voice escaping his lips as he shoots a glance backwards at Reborn steals another heartbeat from you, bewildered and captivated at the same time.
Your hand can't help but palpate his shoulder, his shoulder blade, his neck and this back of his head, your fingers searching as far as they can reach for any potential injury or something like blood flowing from a wound. But nothing of the sort can be found, and instead you find yourself too close from Tsuna to breathe comfortably. So you step a little farther away to recover proper dancing position, swallowing a blush while averting your eyes.
"...I should be the one wondering if you're not hurt after what happened."
TILT. Your eyes instinctively go back to meet with Tsuna's as the tone of his voice once again stuns you, being so much of a contrast with the him from a moment ago. Something seems to be burning on his forehead, and it hypnotizes you as you keep dancing clumsily, not sure anymore about what you wanted to tell him a second before his transformation.
"Are you angry...?"
The unexpected question and sad look in Tsuna's startle you and you shake your head without a second thought, not wanting him to misunderstand but still not finding the right words to say.
"Really? You can be angry, it would be normal. Since Reborn used the Dying Will Bullet on me, I'll make use of it to tell you..." Tsuna still seems a little melancholic as he gazes straight into your eyes, holding you a little tighter to make sure you'll listen to his follow-up. "...that I'll honour my debt to you for having put you in danger, even if it's the last resolve I'll show before dying. No matter if now or in ten years, anytime, anywhere, tell me and I'll come for you, deathsperately."
DOKI. Your heart has definitely stopped beating as your face feels gradually hotter and hotter, unable to break eye-contact with Tsuna while at the same time illusioning about how he would look in ten years, with this deep trustworthy voice, these strong caring hands and these captivating burning eyes.
...what should be appropriate to answer, you have no idea... and not just because of language barrier anymore...
