This one is quite a bit lighter than the last two. Enjoy!
"Fireworks?" Tsuna asked with a raised eyebrow. "Is there a reason?"
Kyoko shrugged, dusting her hands off as she stood up. Behind her, their friends were arguing over who was going to light the first rocket. Gokudera held the lighter up, arm reaching towards the sky as he pushed a hand into Yamamoto's face to stop the baseball player from getting closer. Lambo was whining, attached to Gokudera's leg, Ryohei was laughing his head off, and Haru was pouting, her foot stomping the ground irritably as she struggled to get the situation under control. Not much different from other days, really.
"Does there have to be?" Kyoko finally asked.
Tsuna crinkled his nose. "This sounds like one of Reborn's plans," he mumbled, decidedly not looking at his golden haired friend anymore. He kept his eyes trained on the lighter as the fight between his other friends started to get out of control. If they weren't careful, they could set the whole park on fire. "And Reborn's plan always involve harassing me in some way."
Sending him a smile, Kyoko put a hand on his arm. "Not everything is about the mafia, Tsuna-kun. And Reborn isn't here right now. He's in Italy."
"So why?" Tsuna asked. "The ceremony is in a couple of days. I'm way too nervous to do something like this."
Kyoko just sighed. "Yamamoto-kun noticed, and when he told Haru-chan and I, we figured you could use a little pick-me-up."
He blinked, not totally understanding what Kyoko was saying. "You did this…for me?"
"Of course!" A blinding smile was sent his way, and Tsuna felt some of the tension fall from his shoulders. "We're your friends, Tsuna-kun! We'd do anything for you!"
And Tsuna could tell that she meant it in every way. The same way he would fight and die for his friends, they would do the same for him.
"Oh," he finally said, not really knowing how to feel about that. "Oh."
Kyoko had a knowing look in her eyes when she tugged on his hand, leading him over to where everyone else was getting ready to light the fireworks. He made sure to look at each and every one of them. They were doing this for him, giving him some normalcy before his life descended into mafia hell. A rush of what Tsuna recognized as familial love whelmed up inside of him—a torrent so strong and that Tsuna felt like he was going to be swept up in it and drown.
"Tsuna-san!" Haru called, pressing the lighter into his hand. How she extracted it from Gokudera, Tsuna would never know. "You can light the first one!"
"Alright." Tsuna felt his face split into a grin. This was what it felt like to have a family.
