A/N: Hey everyone! Chapter 3 is up!

Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I DO own the character Alicia though. She is MINE =D

"Lunch is ready!" said Alicia happily as she and Giotto placed the plates on the table. Nana and Tsuna came in with wide eyes as they saw the interesting food.

"Oh I wonder what this is. Is it chicken?" asked Nana curiously. Giotto shook his head.

"It's fish mom. Fish and chips actually. I was in Seattle and I would often visit the docks and their fish and chips were amazing." Nana and Tsuna sat at the table and took a bite out of their fish.

"It's really good!" exclaimed Nana.

"So this is American food." said Tsuna unenthusiastically. The whole emotion thing was still bothering him. Giotto noticed this but decided to keep quiet about it for now. He'd talk to Tsuna later.

"Actually, fish and chips aren't American. Like most foods in America, they mostly originated elsewhere" said Alicia. She took a bite out of the fish she prepared and frowned a little. "I should have added more salt" she said. Nana shook her head at this.

"No, it's already very good!" exclaimed Nana. After lunch, Tsuna put away his plate and headed upstairs to his room once again. He leaned against his door and slid down to the ground. He sighed as he looked at the necklace that Giotto had given him. Everything was crashing down once again. Why couldn't everything just fall into place? Things seemed to be falling apart quickly which scared Tsuna. He did the only thing he could think of. He prayed. He closed his eyes and focused his mind.

"Dear Kami-sama…please…please tell me what it is that I'm feeling…I'm so confused…I don't know what to do…just…give me a sign or a hint. Anything!" He was thrown out of his focus when his phone started to ring. Tsuna looked at his phone blinking a few times then he picked it up. He looked at the cover which flashed "Chrome". He flipped open the phone and answered.

"Hello?" Instead of hearing a regular greeting from Chrome all he could hear were her cries.

"Chrome? Chrome! What's wrong? What happened?" yelled Tsuna. He seemed to have forgotten all about his current situation and focused on the crying Chrome.

"M-M-Mukuro! H-he cheated on m-me!" cried Chrome. At the mention of his name her cries became more desperate. Tsuna had to pull the phone away from his ears a bit to keep from bursting his ear drums. Chrome and Mukuro had been dating for the past 4 months and Chrome had already fallen in love with him in that time. No one thought that Mukuro would be a good lover to her and it seemed that everyone was right.

"What?" yelled Tsuna. He wasn't THAT surprised that Mukuro had done such a thing but he still couldn't believe that Mukuro had actually done it. He thought that Mukuro really liked Chrome.

"I-I c-caught him with another g-g-girl! I can't b-believe he would get a-another g-girlfriend! He kn-knew that I l-l-loved him! I can't believe I'm letting m-myself get so j-jealous because of that j-jerk!" Tsuna winced as her crying became even louder. His eyes widened at what she had said. New girlfriend? Jealous? Was what Tsuna was feeling…jealousy? He shook his head violently. No, there was no way he would be jealous! There was no reason to be. It wasn't like Giotto wasn't going to pay attention to him while he was back and it wasn't like he had romantic feelings towards Giotto…right?

"T-Tsuna-kun…? Are you there?" asked Chrome. Tsuna shook his head, going back to the current more important issue.

"Y-yeah. I'm here. Did you talk to him about it? Did you confront him?" asked Tsuna.

"N-no…I wouldn't know what to say…" said Chrome as her voice quieted down signaling that she was calmer than a few minutes ago.

"Chrome…for all you know it could have been a misunderstanding. Talk to him about it and see what he says…" said Tsuna.

"O-ok…I'll try…thanks Tsuna-kun." Before Tsuna could reply, Chrome hung up. Tsuna smiled and flipped his phone shut. He tossed the phone on his bed and buried his face in his hands. Jealousy? Was this really…jealousy he was feeling? That would explain his slight resentment towards Alicia.

"What does this mean…?" Tsuna asked himself. He looked up at the sky through his window.

"So…I guess you're not gonna give me ANOTHER hint, right?" Tsuna waited a few seconds before sighing. He still didn't know what kind of jealousy this was…and for that matter WHY he was jealous. Was he jealous because he was afraid that Giotto wouldn't have time for him or because he even HAD a girlfriend? He felt like his head was going to explode. It seemed that with each question he had answered another one that was more confusing than the other would appear. He lost his train of thought as he heard a knock from outside his door.

"Tsuna? It's Giotto. Open up please." Tsuna hesitantly got up from his bed and unlocked the door letting his big brother in.

"Tsuna…I know this is all a big shock for you…which is why I wanted to come up here and give you an offer." Giotto smiled and ruffled his little brother's hair.

"An offer?" Tsuna glanced at his big brother smiling. He could help but smile back at his brother's expression.

"Yep. I know that you don't really like Alicia…and I know that you think that I'm not gonna have much time for you. So here it is. If you promise to try and make friends with her, I'll make sure we do EXACTLY what we used to do when you were younger" said a smiling Giotto. Tsuna smiled widely.

"You mean go to the Namimori Pool and the amusement park?" yelled Tsuna excitedly. Giotto nodded smiling at his little brother's enthusiasm.

"Yep, but only if you promise" Giotto warned. Tsuna nodded vigorously.

"I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise!" yelled a now overly excited Tsuna. Giotto's smiled widened and he grabbed Tsuna putting the brunette in a head lock. He couldn't help but tease his little brother a bit. He was just too cute!

"HIIIIII! Nii-san! Let me go!" Tsuna begged. Giotto laughed and continued to ruffle Tsuna's hair, ignoring his little brother's pleas. Tsuna laughed along with him. This was exactly what Tsuna had wanted. Some time with Giotto…time to re-build the relationship that they once had.

After a few minutes Giotto finally let the boy go and got up.

"Get your things packed. We're going to the pool now." Giotto smiled and walked out of the room to get his things as well. Tsuna smiled happily as he quickly packed up his swim trunks, towel, and some spare clothes. Once everything was prepared, he ran down stairs with his bag.

"You ready, Tsuna?" asked Giotto. Tsuna nodded happily. Probably happier than he has been the entire summer. Giotto smiled and got in the car as well as Tsuna. The drive was quiet but comfortable. Every now and then, they'd make small talk but mostly stayed quiet, soaking in the summer life of Namimori. When they reached Namimori Pool, Tsuna quickly sprung out of the car and ran to the front door.

"Hurry, Giotto-nii!" Tsuna yelled. Giotto laughed at his little brother's eagerness.

"Ok, ok. I'm coming"

They walked up to the front desk where a woman was typing away on a computer, probably working on the next pool schedule. Giotto cleared his throat trying to get the woman's attention.

"Yes? Welcome to Namimori pool. How may I help…you" The woman gasped as she stared at what she thought was an angel. Or…more like a sexy beast. Her eyes came in contact with bright orange ones that seemed to put her in a trance. She blushed as Giotto smiled at her.

"We'd like to have two lockers please. Preferably two that are next to each other" said Giotto politely. It took the woman a few seconds to fully process what Giotto was saying before she broke out of her trance…but not completely.

"Y-yes! Of course! Your lockers are uh…let's see now…25A and 26A. Right next to the entrance of the pool" The woman smiled at Giotto, completely ignoring Tsuna.

"Why thank you very much" Giotto flashed another one of his famous smiles and left with Tsuna to the lockers. At this point the woman had already fainted from all the over excessive blushing. Tsuna looked back to see the woman who had fainted. He giggled at how he still had the same affect on the woman here. Giotto noticed his giggle and smiled.

"What's so funny, Tsuna?" asked Giotto curiously. Tsuna just shook his head.

"Nothing" Once they got to their lockers, they began to get changed in their swim trunks. Tsuna was so excited to finally get to spend time with his big brother that he didn't noticed that Giotto had taken his shirt off right next to him. When he DID notice, a small blush crept onto his face. He was surprised by how embarrassed he suddenly felt. He turned around and took a deep breath and looked back at Giotto hoping that he would not blush again. No such luck. This time Giotto had taken off his pants revealing his black and red boxers. He could see that during his time in America, Giotto had definitely been working out. He soon started to wonder what Giotto would look like without any of that clothing on. Tsuna's blush had gotten bigger and he could feel a slight nose bleed coming. He quickly turned around breathing heavily, trying to calm himself. What was going on? This was his big brother! Why was he having these kinds of thoughts!

"HIIIIIIII!" he screamed as two large pair of arms were wrapped around him, pulling him closer.

"Better hurry Tsuna before I leave for the pool without you" said Giotto with a big smile on his face. Tsuna blushed again as Giotto pressed his chest against Tsuna's back. He could feel the hard muscles Giotto had developed and the warmth they created.

"All right, Giotto-nii. I'll be done in a bit" said Tsuna nervously. Giotto let Tsuna go and waited.

Giotto's POV

"All right, Giotto-nii. I'll be done in a bit" said Tsuna. I nodded and let him go, waiting for him to finish. I stared as he took off his shirt revealing his thin figure. I smiled at how thin he was for a teenager. I'd have to make fun of him for that later.

'He's gotten really cute…and that warmth I got when I hugged him…it was…' I shook my head, stopping those thoughts immediately. What was I doing? He's my little brother. I can't think that way. Especially when I have a girlfriend!

Back to normal POV

During the time that Tsuna was getting dressed he had this feeling that Giotto was staring at him. Giotto's gaze seemed to have burned. He put everything away and turned around smiling.

"I'm ready!"

Once they took a small shower first, Giotto jumped in the pool first.

"Tsuna! Get in here! The water feels great!" Giotto said laughing.

"Errr…I'll be right back!" Tsuna quickly went over to the side where the noodles were and took an orange one and walked back to Giotto. Rather than jumping in, he placed the noodle in the water and slowly crept in the water, grabbing the noodle. Giotto raised his eye brow and swam towards Tsuna.

"Tsuna…do you not know how to swim?" asked Giotto. Tsuna blushed and looked down at his reflection in the water and nodded. After all these years he had not learned how to swim and was incredibly embarrassed. This was one of the many reasons why everyone called him "dame-Tsuna" or "no good Tsuna". Giotto smiled and ruffled Tsuna's hair.

"Then…I guess I'll have to teach you" Giotto said. Tsuna's eyes widened.

"N-no…you don't have to" said Tsuna. After his swimming lesson with Hayato, Takeshi, and Haru, Tsuna had completely lost hope that anyone would be able to teach him how to swim.

"Yes I do. As your big brother, it's my job to make sure you learn" Giotto pulled the noodle from Tsuna and tossed it aside. He then lift Tsuna up so his body was just about on the surface of the water.

"Ok. Now kick your legs but not too hard and move your arms like that" Giotto pointed at a man who was swimming perfectly. Tsuna nodded nervously and tried it himself.

"You're doing great, Tsuna. Keep it up but this time kick your legs a big harder" Tsuna did so. Giotto slowly let the boy go and Tsuna started to swim and move on his own.

"You're doing it Tsuna!" Giotto yelled excitedly. Tsuna smiled with joy as he was doing what he never thought he would be able to do.

"I'm swimming, Nii-san! Look!" Tsuna started to swim in circles around Giotto as Giotto started to laugh. He picked Tsuna up and gave him a tight embrace.

"Tsuna, I'm so proud of you!" yelled Giotto as the hug had gotten tighter. Tsuna blushed and hugged him back feeling the warmth of his big brother's chest.

"Thanks, Giotto-niisan. It's all thanks to you" said Tsuna. He slowly leaned up and kissed Giotto on the cheek as a thank you. Giotto's eyes widened slightly and a small blush crept onto his face. He smiled at Tsuna and picked him up, throwing him in the water playfully laughing. After two hours of racing, splashing, relaxing in the hot tub, and a lesson on diving, the two finally got dried and dressed and left the area. The ride home this time was fully of laughter and conversation. Once they got home, Tsuna had a big smile on his face. That smile however turned into a slight frown as Alicia came out to greet them. He smiled though remember the promise he had made to Giotto. He would try and be friends with Alicia. She was really nice after all.

"How was the pool you two?" she asked. Giotto gave her a quick hug.

"It was really fun! Tsuna here learned how to swim today" Giotto said proudly. Tsuna blushed and nodded.

"Really! That's great, Tsuna!" Alicia said as she gave Tsuna a gentle hug. Tsuna stood surprised but hugged her back smiling slightly. Maybe making friends with her wouldn't be so bad after all. Tsuna headed inside the house towards his room to put away his things. He stopped at the top of the stairway and looked down to see Alicia give Giotto a soft kiss on the lips. His smile turned into a sad frown as he turned around and walked into his room, locking the door. He dropped his bag on the ground and sat on his bed. Thinking back on the entire day with Giotto, Tsuna had come to the conclusion that he had feared would be true.

"Maybe…maybe I really do…love Giotto that way…" Tsuna said to himself. It had all been too clear that he hit his head in frustration for not realizing it sooner. He hit his head again as tears started to fall down his cheeks.

"What am I going to do…?" He buried his face in his pillow silently crying for his unrequited love.

A/N: Err…so yeah. I guess I kinda slacked around the beginning and Tsuna's swimming lesson. Haha…

Tsuna: Yay! I finally learned how to swim! :D

Giotto: Didn't you already learn how to swim in that one episode? =/

Tsuna: Oh yeah… V_V

Me: *face palm*

Tsuna: Why is it that I watched Giotto as he changed! I feel like a pervert! DX

Me: Uhhh…cause you are? =P

Giotto: You know you liked it. =P

Tsuna: *plugs ears* HIIIIIII! DX

Me: Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please forgive my slacking of the first half!
