Reborn was the first one to come to know about his death from Tsuna. He had found Tsuna curled up on his bed. His guardians were nowhere to be found. Reborn smirked mischieviously while Len was turning into a mallet. He was about to slam the Leon mallet on Tsuna's unsuspecting head when he heard an almost inaudible whisper. The next few words stopped him in his tracks when dull eyes looked right up at him. Something akin to anger and disappointment flashed in his eyes. Tsuna thought that his Spartan tutor didn't show his feelings much, until he found himself wrapped in strong and lean arms. As much as he tried to resist it, warm and angry tears, full of resentment and longing began to soak up Reborn's shirt. Tsuna didn't sob. He just cried soundlessly. But Reborn knew by the way Tsuna was gripping his suit so tightly that he was hurting. A lot, as much as Tsuna's resentment towards his father. After a while of rocking Tsuna back and forth in his embrace, his hand patting his back, he pushed Tsuna away and forced him to go to bed. Tsuna knew better to protest, and succumbed to darkness with a soft smile on his face.
" Idiot student. But at least he didn't die for nothing Dame- Tsuna. He died for famigilia."
Tsuna sighed through his nose as he let the cold night air brush against his face. He thought he hated him. Then why did he cry like a wimp? Was it because he was such a sensitive topic towards Tsuna? Or was he crying for the pain his mother was carrying? Tsuna's train of thoughts was once again interrupted when Enma tapped his shoulder. He looked towards his best friend with a questioning look, only to be replied by a soft and shy smile.
When Enma heard of the news, he didn't say anything. He knew how Tsuna had felt about his father. Like Tsuna, Enma was secretly jealous of Tsuna. At least Tsuna still could see his father. Even though it was once a year at Vongola's monthly meetings. But still, he gets to see his father. Regardless, when Enma meets Tsuna for the first time after his death, he just strides over to Tsuna and hugs him tightly before any of their guardians could say anything, more like before Gokudera could pry him off his beloved Tenth. Tsuna, who understood the meaning of Enma's bone crushing hug, returned the hug with his head buried on the other's shoulder. The guardians, and Reborn stood there solemnly as their brother, famigilia and student, found solace in the red head. After the hug, it was a moment of awkwardness and blushing, mostly from Enma, while the sky flame user giggled.
" Spill it out Idiot." Came Reborn's cold and harsh words. Tsuna knew the meaning of them. They weren't called partners for nothing. Tsuna glanced at Enma and found him staring back expectantly. Memories started swarming back to Tsuna.
