Chapter 1: The Day We Met
Tsuna glanced at the clock above the green colored wall. It was already 3 pm and the school had just done. He sighed and packed up his books and pencil case to his black backpack. The day was pitiful for him. He was doing his math test and grounded because he couldn't answer any of those questions. Then, he caught up sleeping in the History class and punished to clean the school yard after school ended. Well, that punishment is supposed to be PE's punishment! How could his History teacher be so cruel to him? Yamamoto did that too!
But the worst thing that happened that day was when he spotted two boys, underneath a tree, kissed, passionately. Oh… he just wanted to throw up that time. Well, because he is a boy and he is NOT a gay. It was happening in the lunch break when he was waiting for Yamamoto and Gokudera to show up. But suddenly, he saw it. The worst scene ever! A friend in his grade name Fran and his senpai name Belphegor or you can call him Bel, kissed, connecting their mouth. But it looked like Bel forced Fran to kiss him… well… he didn't know, but it sure was… disgusting!
"Juudaime, are you okay?" A familiar voice called him out made his thoughts break instantly. Tsuna turned his head to where the voice came out and found Gokudera and Yamamoto was staring at him, curiously.
"Yeah, Tsuna. You're acting weird since the lunch break. What happened?" Yamamoto looked at him worriedly. "Your lips colour is pale. Do you catch a cold? Do you want to go to the infirmary?"
"Leave it to me, Juudaime! I will take you to the infirmary!" Gokudera offered, not wanting to hear his Juudaime's answer and about to grab Tsuna's arm.
"I'm fine, Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto… I'm just a little sick, that's all. Besides, I've got punishment to do, right?" Tsuna waved his hand.
"That bastard teacher! How could he give Juudaime a punishment!" Gokudera yelled as he showed his fist. Yamamoto spontaneously grabbed him from the back.
"Maa, maa… Gokudera. We can't blame him."
"Shut up, Baseball freak!"
"It's okay, Gokudera-kun. You two can go home now." Tsuna tried to calm down the silver-haired. He was a little upset to his History teacher, but it was his own fault he slept during class. His friends mustn't take any responsibility with this at all. He must.
"Juudai-"
"No, Gokudera-kun. You will go home, and that's final." Tsuna ordered like he was Gokudera's mom. Gokudera a little pouted but didn't say anything. He didn't want his precious Juudaime left in the school alone. Tsuna turned to Yamamoto that was letting go off Gokudera. "Yamamoto, take Gokudera-kun home with you."
"Ahaha… Okay, Tsuna." Yamamoto laughed and gave a thumb to Tsuna. Tsuna smiled and took his bag. He gave them goodbyes and left the two of them in the classroom that was already emptied. Then, the baseball ace looked at the hot-headed silver-haired. "Come on, Gokudera. Let's go home."
"Tch, I can go home by myself"
"No can do, Gokudera. Tsuna said that I have to take you home." Yamamoto grinned made Gokudera groan. Yamamoto held his friend's arm. It was a little awkward of course. Because if anybody saw it, they would think that both boys are dating. Gokudera snatched the hand that held him before yelled with a blush on his pale cheeks.
"What the hell, Baseball freak! I can walk by myself!" Gokudera said angrily. But instead of apologizing or explaining something, Yamamoto laughed between his thought.
'He's so cute when he angry ~'
"Why are you laughing?" Gokudera asked confuse why after he snap the baseball ace laughed.
Yamamoto quickly snapped off his thought and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Nothing."
Gokudera tched again. The baseball ace really made him feel weird. He didn't want to be with the ace in front of him any longer, so he turned away. "Well, never mind. I will go home."
With a fast pace, Gokudera walked out the classroom. Yamamoto a little bit shocked to the fast movement and ran after his crush.
"W-Wait Gokudera!"
Tsuna placed his backpack underneath the tree so it rested there for a while. Then, he took a broom that he borrowed earlier from the school janitor. He sighed and walked up to the full-of-leaves school yard. Unfortunately, the school yard wasn't that small.
'It will take a long time…' Tsuna sighed again. The day was tiring him. He really wanted to relax at home without anyone bothering him. But maybe that won't be granted. Even when he didn't have any punishments, his house would never be in peace. Unless Lambo, I-pin, Fuuta, Reborn, and Bianchi were shopping with his mother. But still, he wanted to just relaxing. He promised to himself that after this have finished, he would go home and take a bath. After that, he will sleep after dinner. Yes, that would be very perfect despite his punishments.
Tsuna began to sweep the leaves from all over the places into one place so it would be easy for him when he throw the leaves up to the garbage bin. Tsuna started in the edge of the yard, near the tree where he left his bag. He swept and swept, beginning to drop sweat. After 15 minutes, the area he was doing now was clean with leaves. The leaves were assembled in one place.
"Huf, one area done, four more to go!" Tsuna heaved happily. Before he could go to another edge, he stopped his movements when he heard a voice.
"Do you want some help?"
A deep, gentle voice made him sway. He looked up to the voice and found someone was looking at him. A handsome boy with a blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes met his gaze. The boy was a lot taller than him, so he had to crack his neck to look up when the blonde was standing right in front of him. The boy looked like he was around 17 years old and wore his school uniform. From his appearance, Tsuna guessed that it was a senpai. Tsuna made a timid move and shook his head.
"Why don't you want my help?" The blonde pouted at first, but then smiled to the brunette. The gorgeous smile that beamed Tsuna made him blush. He looked down and mumbled something. The blonde looked at the boy confusedly and leaned his ear to hear the mumble of the brunette.
"Hmm?"
"I-I can do it myself." Tsuna answered, a little plead in his caramel eyes. His voice was as timid as a shy little girl. The way he spoke reminded himself to Chrome. The blonde chuckled. The boy sure looks adorable. He could make all the boys in the school have a nosebleed if they saw that. But the blonde didn't want to ruin his pride and kept his nose shut to prevent a nosebleed.
"But you look so troubled." the blonde spoke again.
"N-No… I'm fine…" Tsuna shook his head again. The blonde made his way to be closer again to the brunette and brushed his hair. The hair was as soft as a baby's hair. Even if the locks were spiky and pointy, they isn't sharp, it was bouncy and comfortable to touch.
"You are my kouhai. You don't need to be shy to ask for some help."
Tsuna lower down his head. Why the blonde was insisting to help him that much? But if he keeps arguing with the blonde, his time will be wasted. And will he lose something if the blonde help him? No, his work will be done in no time. But still, it was his punishments, not his senpai's.
"But it's my punishments, senpai. You don't need to help me."
"I want to help you, Sawada." The blonde called out made Tsuna flinched. How did he know his name? Tsuna didn't know any senpai except for G and Asari, and also Bel, the senpai that kissed his friend, Fran. With Tsuna's expression, the blonde sighed.
"Of course I know your name, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Or should I say, Dame-Tsuna?" the blonde laughed teasingly. Tsuna pouted. How dare the blonde said his nickname like that and know his name? Tsuna even didn't know the blonde's name!
"I guess you're upset because I know your name and you don't know mine, right?"
"H-How do you know that?" Tsuna shocked by the sentence.
"Ahaha.." the blonde just laughed but didn't answer Tsuna's question. Tsuna looked at him curiously. Giotto pulled out his hand from the brunette locks before giving his hand to Tsuna. "My name is Giotto Taru. Nice to meet you, Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna took Giotto's hand and shook it gently. "H-Hi, Giotto-senpai. Just call me Tsuna."
Giotto was walking home with his best friends, G and Asari when he saw a petite brunette was troubled by cleaning the school's yard. The brunette's face looked very tired and seemed forced to do the act. His lips were pale and his big caramel doe eyes were dull. Sweats tear down to from his temple. His movements were lazy and slow. But the adorable little boy looked really asking for some help. Giotto couldn't turn his gaze at him.
"G, do you know who that is?" Giotto asked the person beside him. G turned to him and gazed at the direction Giotto's eyes glancing at. But he found no one in the direction. It was just the school yard.
"Where is the who that you are talking about?" G snarled.
"There, the brunette." Giotto pointed his index finger to a small brunette boy. G looked to where the finger pointed at. Then, he found it. A boy with brunette hair, big doe caramel eyes, slim and small body, was sweeping the leaves on the yard. It was his younger cousin's best friend.
"You mean… Tsunayoshi?" G said. Giotto turned to him.
"You know that boy?"
"Yes, it's my cousin's friend. Hayato always talks about him when he met." His tone showed annoyance when Gokudera was talking to him about Tsuna.
"Oh! It's Takeshi's best friend too! I have just remembered!" Asari suddenly spoke when he spotted the brunette. Then, he glanced at G. "Tsuna, right?"
"Tsuna?" Giotto looked at the shorter teen.
"He always comes to my house to play with Takeshi and eat some sushi!" Asari said cheerfully and laughed afterwards. "He's cute, isn't he? Do you spellbound by him, Giotto?"
Giotto's cheeks reddened and denied the fact that he thought the brunette is cute. "N-No, I'm not!"
"Oh, really? Stutter, Giotto?" G teased gleefully made Giotto twitched.
"No! Besides, he is a boy, and I already have someone I like!"
"Giotto, Giotto, Giotto… Love doesn't look at gender." G sighed. "Look at Asari's brother. He likes my cousin."
"Eh? Takeshi likes Hayato?" Asari said in shock. Never expected that his brother likes G's cousin. I mean, how does his brother, which was insensitive to his own feelings will like someone from the same gender. Well, but love is blind, so he didn't care about that. "How do you know that, G?"
"Can't you be more caring to your own brother?"
"I am!"
"Yeah, but don't you ever realize his feelings? When I first met him, I had already known his feelings towards Hayato through his brown eyes." G spoke and brushed his chin with his finger. He remembered that time when he met Yamamoto. Yamamoto really looked so caring to Gokudera. When Yamamoto looked at his cousin, his eyes soften, his expressions more cheerful, and sometimes he saw Yamamoto trembling because he tried to prevent hugging Gokudera when Gokudera's expressions were cute.
"I never knew he likes boys… I thought he will like the honey-haired girl." Asari confessed. He really never knew all this long. He thought Yamamoto would like Sasagawa Kyoko because she was the school idol.
"You mean Sasagawa Kyoko, the boxing captain's sister?"
"Yeah, I mean, she is cute and always beams an angelic smile." Asari said casually that it looked like he likes Kyoko. G and Giotto spontaneously stared at him.
"You like Sasagawa Kyoko?" G asked with his eyes opened widely. His heard skipped a beat. Giotto nodded to agree G's question. They never thought that Asari would like a girl before. He never really showed any lovable feelings.
"Well, she is cute and adorable…" Asari said and stopped for a second. G could felt his heart clenched after hearing the statement for a moment. "But I don't like her like that."
Don't know why, G's heart could relax when Asari answered the question. The widened eyes back to their usual place. He sighed in relief. He didn't know the feeling, but he just felt so relieve. His expressions were unnoticed by Asari but noticed by Giotto. Giotto grinned when he looked at the relieve childhood friend of him. He then laughed made G and Asari stared at him.
"What's so funny, Giotto?" Asari asked him. He stared worriedly because his dear friend laughing like he had a mental illness.
"You will see that later, Asari." Giotto patted G's back. G looked at him confusedly. Why he patted G's back when he talked to Asari?
"Well, I will take my leave." Giotto bowed elegantly before turned to another direction.
"Eh? Where are you going?" The red-haired man lifted his right eyebrow. "We haven't done any fun yet."
"To see my new kouhai…" The blonde smiled and waved his hands. "I will go there after I finish, you two can go ahead first!"
Giotto left the two teenagers.
G sighed and face-palmed when Asari titled his head and asked innocently. "Who's the kouhai?"
"Giotto-senpai, you don't have to do it all… I can do it…"
Tsuna was trying to stop his senpai to sweep all the leaves for him. He really never thought that after the blonde said his name his senpai would snatch the broom from his grip and sweep the yard until it sparkling clean. Tsuna had already tried to take the broom back, but Giotto was taller than him so he couldn't take the broom that was higher than Giotto when he lifted the thing up from his reach. He would be very thankful that Giotto helped him so much, but at the same time felt guilty that the senpai took his punishments.
"Ahaha… It's okay Tsuna. I'm the one that want to do it…" Giotto answered while sweeping the scattered leaved on the field. "Besides, I don't have anything to do this afternoon."
A lie. A terrible lie, Giotto.
"B-But-"
"It's okay… Look, I've already done the other edge. The only one left now is the middle, right?"
"T-Thank you so much, Giotto-senpai. Sorry for bothering you" Tsuna gave a small smile and looked at the blue eyes. Giotto grinned and continued sweeping. The looks that his kouhai gave him was making him vibrant enough to clean the whole school. The petite brunette really was a (man killer?) cute and adorable rabbit every boy always talked about. Yeah, wherever he went, there was no one in the school that never talks about him. But unfortunately, Giotto had just known that the brunette they were talking about was this little brown rabbit.
"It's fine. I really want to help. Besides, when I look at you, your looks are like pleading and begging for help." Giotto said honestly. "Heh, right? I had done all of them in a fast pace, hadn't I? Now, you can put it to the trash can more easily."
Tsuna wowed. The yard that was so messy before now was so clean and tidy. All the leaves that were apart from each other, gathered back together as one build. He approached the blonde senpai of his and bowed again and again to say thank you.
"Thank you so much! If you don't help me, my work won't be done!"
Giotto grinned and handed the broom to Tsuna. He waved to say goodbye and left the scene. Tsuna watched the blonde went to his friends that were waiting for him beside the front gate. But realization made his jaw opened.
'Giotto-senpai is a friend of G-san and Asari-san? So that's why he knows my name!'
Tsuna watched them with soft eyes. They looked really cheerful together. Tsuna just smiled as he saw them. They looked a lot like their relatives. Asari and Yamamoto are brothers, and G and Gokudera are cousins. He had known them from 3 years ago when he met Yamamoto and Gokudera and befriend with them.
Before he met them, he was bullied everywhere. Never in the world would he think that someone would care about him. After he met them, his life was so much better than before. But he still hadn't found a person that care for him as a person.
He never knew that a really perfect person like Giotto would help him because he cares. The tint of red flushed on the boy's cheeks. What is this feeling?
Tsuna was a little lost when he was eating some dinner with his family. Don't know how many times Lambo snatched his foos and I-pin yelled to stop Lambo. His cheeks were still a bit red and it looked like he got fever, which is not. So his mother made him stayed at the bed and does nothing after taking a bath. She even got a warm towel on his forehead and checked his temperature. Tsuna didn't complain anything and just let his mother did her job.
As his mother took care of him, he started to feel better. But his cheeks were still red and puffy and it showed that he got sick. Tsuna didn't feel any illness, he just felt his heart beats so fast every time he thinks of the blonde that help him that afternoon. After an hour, he fell asleep and went to the imaginary world. His mother let out a sigh and left his sone to get some sleep for that day.
5 hours later…
Tsuna opened his eyes. When he thought that he would get the moon's brightness, he spontaneously forgets it. Because the light wasn't in his eyes. The moon wasn't as bright as usual. His room fell in darkness. Tsuna couldn't see anything. He reached out the shelf beside his bed to find his cellphone and luckily he found it. He switched it on and suddenly, light burst out through the cellphone's screen. Brightness overcame the room.
His eyes closed for a sec when he tried to get used by the sudden brightness. He glanced at the clock and his eyes wide opened. It was 3 in the morning. Why did he get up this early?
Only two reasons came to his mind.
Nightmare
Or
Lovesick
A/N: Hey all! Do you understand the last part means? A realization! Oh yeah! But unfortunately, this story will has like 20 chapters or up and NOT a one shot. Also, this is chapter 1, the beginning, so… it will took a long time to get this to an end.
Anyway, in the next chapter, I will tell you a story from Giotto's side more than Tsuna's side. Giotto's time to reach the realization will be so much longer than Tsuna's.
Also, this fanfiction will update every week (or longer, but I'll try to make it every week), I don't know it will be Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, because my parents only allow me to sit in front of the laptop when it is weekends. I have to study for the final examination to go to High School. So sorry for the one that waited so long…
Please review, because reviews really encourage me…
