Kao-tan: Alright…here we go. Fast update! For the RebornLambo Goodness. And the disclaimer is on the first chapter so if you wanna read it go there.
02. Love
Love was something Lambo had yet to understand.
Everything he learned he learned from movies. Mostly those old-time black and white ones that Gokudera seemed to enjoy so much. Why, he didn't know because he had always assumed anything in black and white was boring (expect for himself, of course).
But everything that was showed seemed so…set. Normal. If you admired a person you gave them flowers. Roses. Gave them chocolate in boxes wrapped with pretty paper. You greeted them at the door when they got home and took interest in their day and did what you could to make them feel better if it was bad.
It seemed like a repeated process no matter what happened.
But it all seemed to work.
So it was a logical conclusion in the Bovino's mind that if you loved someone you were tender to them. You treated them with respect and you showed them how much they meant to you.
So he didn't realize that when Reborn put a gun to his head it meant I want you.
And every time he threaded a hand into his hair and jerked it meant I need you.
And every time he called him a stupid cow it meant I love you.
But that was okay because even if Lambo didn't realize it yet, even if he didn't understand the cryptic code of the seemingly heartless hitman, he still wanted to stay by Reborn's side.
Because, without realizing it, he'd fallen in love with him.
He just needed to see that there was so much more to love.
