Chapter: Cosa, Piccolino?
There is a certain bliss in slumber, the dreams that paint memories concocted in the most creative minds. The many visions that hold potential realities, if only pursued once those heavy lids open and greet the next day. However, some people cannot sleep so easily, for there are many things running rampant in their minds. an example of such, was a predator of the night. His intentions unknown as he pulled himself out of bed, and wandered down the hall. His shadow slinking in with the darkened hues of a nighttime home, the soft whispers of the wind held outdoors as the wood creaked slightly beneathe his stocking feet.
Memories of the party just hours prior were fresh in theis person's mind. The smiles that had been shared, the kind words, the homey warmth that radiated throughout the home. But it was quiet now, and though it was still pleasant within that home, something made it impossible for the other to find comfort in sleeping. Many questions were left unasnswered- and that, that is what nightmares are made of. Uncertainty was a dangerous thing; and something that was not to be let alone with a light heart.
A door was opened, and trained, obsidian pools swept through the scene. Humbled tones of breathing cutting through the air elegantly as a form shuffled slightly. The form lingered near the doorway, leaning against the worn wood, peering over at the person he had not seen in quite a while.
Reborn watched his student humm in approval in his sleep. The form was stretched out comfortably across the bed, blankets wrapped tightly around the petite body. He saw some of the fabric slip as Tsuna moved in his sleep, revealing the skin of a pale shoulder. The hitman moved across the room, his fingers gently pulling the fabric back up, before growling slightly. His knuckles having brushed the soft, warm surface as he covered his student back up.
There was a soft sigh, and the brunette male turned once more. His lips parted slightly, and his charcoal lashes fluttering slightly in his dream. His nose scrunched up before he whispered something in his sleep, and then all was silent once more.
It had been far too long since they had seen one another, and though he had left to train his adult body to it's former glory; it was also to see if the building feelings in the pit of his stomach would subside. Since he had been through many hardhsips with his Dame student, he had felt a sort of bond grow between them. Reborn had never been one to get close to people, as was needed in his line of work- but for some unknown reason, the petite male had weasled his way into the hitman's heart.
Not that the fedora clad assassin would ever admit to it- but the way that Tsuna had clung to him in the supermarket, had made his heart skip a beat. He had a moment of uncharacteristic softness, as he had mussed the male's hair. He grit his teeth, thinking it would be better if he had just disappeared. He felt as though the bond that he and his student had made was nothing more than a good friendship to the smaller male.
His eyes scanned the form again, a softness to the edge as he made his way back to the door. He arched an eyebrow as he made his way over to the desk instead. Perhaps, if he found a bad mark on one of Tsuna's tests, he would stay a little longer in order to, tortu- ahem, assist his student.
As quiet fingers flipped through notebooks and folders, his building anticipation for even one bad mark was obliterated.
He must have wanted to make me proud...Damnit all.
Reborn closed the notebook that he had in his possession, wanting nothing more than an excuse to stay, if even only for a slightly longer period of time. His eyes found just one more notebook- thinner than the rest. He pulled it out silently from beneathe the books it had been stashed under.
He felt the many pieces of forced out paper fall onto the floor, but he paid it no mind. Written in his student's terrible scrawl were the words the hitman was relieved to read. The many emotions of loneliness and the building excitement of being reunited with the former Sun Arcobelano- these words brought comfort to the hitman. He smiled slightly at the little side notes that Tsuna had made, and the plans to reintroduced the two of them. Reborn had a lingering suspicion that there had been many more drafts to this than what he had stumbled upon. He felt his heart catch in his chest when the final sentence came to a close.
He was always something more than a friend- an angel without wings; but no matter the details, he'll always fly. I love that man, and if this is unreciprocated, at least I can say that I was by his side. Always.
Reborn picked up a pen, and scribbled a response- a smirk rising as he reread his handiwork.The notebook was then closed, and the hitman released a sigh through his nose before he placed it back on the desk. He ran a hand through his unruly hair, after he removed his fedora. He placed that too, near the notebook. He glanced over at the sleeping form of the other, before moving to the side of the bed and bending. His brushed his lips against the warm cheek, before pulling back and making his way out of the room.
His questions answered, and a well needed rest was in his intentions.
(Never Doubt)
Liquid honey was greeted with the bright sunshine drizzling in through the window. A grumble came from the back of his throat as he threw his legs over the edge of the bed and stretched his limbs. A symphony of cracks resonated as he shifted his back and stood from the comfort of blankets. The small male yawned widely, before he paused.
Something felt off about his bedroom, and an unvoluntary shudder crept up his spine. His eyes narrowed as he scanned his bedroom, and an internal gasp rose when he spotted the intrusion.
On his desk was an uncannily familar fedora, and beneathe it- was his personal notebook. He blinked once, and then twice, and upon the third blink; he stepped forward. His hand shaking as he pulled the hat into his chest, and brought the notebook up with his other.
He slowly let the ruffled pages drop open, until he felt the new words written in a different scrawl different to his own. Beside his own, private confession were elegantly written words in black ink.
My side is where you belong- and always with you, will I remain. -R
Tsuna tore out of his bedroom, the hat clutched tightly in his possession as he ran down the stairs. He made his way to the kitchen, shouting a hasty hello to his mother as he searched the house for hit tutor.
He stopped on the porch, his pajamas ruffled when he heard his mother's voice.
"I sent Reborn-san to the store, he left but ten minutes ago- he can't have gotten far!"
Tsuna nodded, thanked her briskly as he threw on his shoes and ran. He disregarded the stares of people who took in the sight of him running frantically down the street in his P.J's- but it was better than seeing him in his undergarments as they used to view.
Tsuna was panting hard, as he saw a familar outline of a black suit in the distance, he breathed in deep before shouting.
"Reborn!"
Said person paused slightly before turning, a smirk on his face as he returned to his orginal position and continued walking- taking his hands out of his pockets. He sauntered down the merchant square, pretending that he didn't hear a thing.
Only when the small, quick steps seemed closer did he turn. Tsuna had gone into HDWM, and his orange blazed eyes showed all seriousness. The petite male had barreled into the other, who caught him effortlessly and peered down at him. He cradled the other in a loose embrace, and waiting for the petite male to stop panting so violently.
"R-reborn..I...I"
A smirk raised, and the stammering was put to silence when warm, Italian lips brushed a pair of pink ones. The small Japanese male looked stunned, before he snapped out of it and pushed himself further into the other's grasp.
"I, I had no idea that you.."
Reborn placed a finger over Tsuna's pout as he leaned in once more. his smirk turning into a true smile that dazzled the petite male.
"If I am to fly, I can't do so without my wings, amore."
Tsuna felt tears begin to prick the corners of his eyes, and that sinful mouth was on his once more, after pulling back and wiping away those tears that managed to fall. The use of words when actions prevailed- now that was lesson that Tsuna apparently still needed to be taught.
