A/N: I feel so loved! I woke up, checked my email and found out that so many people have faved and subscribed to this story. I had to rush and finish this because my family is celebrating...something, and I have to do all the work. So, I'm sorry if this chapter is beyond terrible. I'll come back and change it if I need to. I'm gonna try my best to update as soon as I can, but until then enjoy chapter 3!

Disclaimer: *checks bank account* Nope, still don't own KHR, DRRR! or anything else I used in this chapter~

Chapter 3| Tsuna's Alone Time

I woke up when I heard Giotto-nii's door being shut. I quickly sat up, fell out of bed then scrambled up to get to the door. I opened it and saw my brother standing in front of me. He blinked a few time then gave me the once over before chuckling softly.

"Heh, you look lovely, Tsuna-chi," he joked, and I could tell he was getting ready to leave. I was still half asleep, but that didn't stop my eyes from drinking in his amazing appearance. Giotto-nii was fully dressed in a nice bluish-grey button up shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a black tie that was tied somewhat loosely around the collar and some black jeans that covered the tops of his blue and black sneakers. His left hand was holding his black jacket over his shoulder. It was a simple outfit, but my Giotto-nii pulled it off perfectly. His golden hair, combed into it's usual gravity-defying style, only completed the look. I felt my face heat up a bit because I was just standing there in his old shirt and my blue, tuna fish themed boxers. I snapped back into reality when I was suddenly pulled into a strong chest. Giotto-nii squeezed me really tight and said, "I'll call you when we land in Italy, y'dig?"

"Hai. Don't forget," I laughed, wrapping my arms around him so I could return the hug. The little Tsuna inside my head was jumping for joy at the moment. I was so close to Giotto-nii, and I swear I could stay like this and breathe in his intoxicating scent of mandarin oranges. I knew it wasn't any type of cologne; it was his natural scent. Kinda funny once you thought about it.

"Never." He pulled away, still smiling at me. He reached up to ruffle my already wild hair with his free hand before kissing my forehead gently. "I'll miss you, Tsuna-chi. Gonna be a rough three week without you."

It felt like my heart dropped to my stomach, my face felt hotter than normal and my knees felt extremely weak. 'This is why I loved him...He's amazing~' Instead of squealing like I wanted to, I just smiled back with a small blush. "I'll m-miss you t-too, Giotto-nii."

He stood there for a few seconds just looking at me. Then he sighed and turned to go downstairs so he could leave. I wanted to run after him, hug him with all my strength and confess my feelings for him! However, I could never do that...

After I was sure Giotto-nii was gone, I decided to take a shower since it was early. As I was picking out something comfortable to wear, I started thinking. 'Why was he looking at me like that?' I left the clothes on my bed then headed to the bathroom before starting the shower. Once I stripped down, I stepped in then shuddered as the hot water warmed my skin. I leaned back against the shower wall with my eyes closed, letting my thoughts wander.

This was so messed up.

'I can't just keep this to myself, I need to tell him...or at least tell someone else about it. Maybe Gokudera-kun, since he and Yamamoto have been dating for a while now.' I paused and giggled at that thought. It was funny because those two, obviously, love each other, but a certain smoker always claims that, "We're just getting along with each 'cause Juudaime asked us to!" They seemed happy together, with Gokudera-kun's heated temper and Yamamoto's happy-go-lucky attitude.

Happiness...

I pushed myself off the wall and started to wash my unruly hair with my special shampoo; no one uses it and Giotto-nii says he liked the way it made my hair smell. 'How am I supposed to confess my feelings to my Giotto-nii? He could get any one he wanted, boy or girl. So, why, in the name of everything logical, would he want me, his younger, clumsier, dame brother?' I was afraid he would push me away. I was Dame-Tsuna, so who in their right mind wouldn't push me away? However, for some reason, I honestly believe Giotto-nii would listen to and understand my feelings. I just hoped he wouldn't hate me afterwards; him returning my feelings would be a huge bonus. I don't want to lose him as a brother, or a friend. I would love it if he liked me back, but I highly doubted it. I couldn't get that lucky.

After I was done washing myself, my thoughts drifted towards my recent, sinful desires. I nearly tripped over my feet and slammed my head against the shower wall because I was thinking of my older brother doing...doing things to me! My face felt like it would explode with heat and utter embarrassment as I felt my cock throb at the thought of Giotto-nii touching in any possible way. What the hell was wrong with me?! I gulped down the loud 'HIIIIE' that was about to be released, and my hands twitched as I contemplated the idea of...doing that while thinking about Giotto-nii. I shook my head then turned the water to cold before I started washing myself.

Dame-Tsuna, indeed.

After my embarrassing moment in the shower, I finally made it back to my room with most of my sanity. I changed into a light, orange wife beater, some khaki shorts that had the number 27 on the lower-right pocket, white socks and orange boxers under my shorts. I walked downstairs and saw my mom and dad eating breakfast. Mom was the first to notice me and asked, "Morning Tsu-kun! Are you hungry?"

I smiled, sitting next across from my dad. That's right, this is normal. Nothing has changed. After, or whenever, I confessed my feelings to Giotto-nii, I hoped nothing would change between me and my parents. "Very." It was 7in the morning and they would be leaving around 8, so I decided to enjoy myself.

We ate breakfast together, my dad was telling lame jokes he heard at work, which made mom and I laugh because we knew it would make him feel good then they left to do whatever my parents did in their daily lives during the summer.

Around 12 o' clock, I was still home all by myself. I had some movies I could watch, and some I normally couldn't watch with my parents around; I'm 14 and my parents weren't home, so it couldn't hurt, right? I had some manga to read and food to eat, so I was all set...expect I was lonely. I had nobody to talk to while I waited for Giotto-nii to call. I went through my mental list of friends and made some options:

Option 1: I could call Gokudera-kun or Yamamoto. However, I don't wanna intrude on their alone time, cause that would be terribly rude. No telling what they were up to at this time of the day...

Option 2: I could ask Kyoko-chan to come over. The downfall with that was if she came then Onii-san, or rather Kyoko-chan's older brother, Ryohei, would come over as well. I honestly wasn't strong enough to handle too much of his EXTREME attitude right now...

Option 3: Invite Haru over. I paused and really thought about that one. I decided I wasn't in the mood for Haru and her obsessive fawning over me.

Option 4:...Hibari-san was an absolutely bad idea. He would seriously bite me to death if I bothered him with my herbivorous problems.

Option 5: Maybe I could ask Chrome-chan to come over. I dropped that idea like a bad habit; if Chrome-chan came over then Mukuro would surely come with her. I shuddered slightly as I thought about Mukuro's last "Glomp and Tease the Tuna fish" session and that creepy laugh of his.

Option 6: I could call Enma-kun. Oh wait, he's...somewhere doing...something important(?) with his older brother, Cozarto, today.

With a long sigh, I decided to catch up on a few episode of my favorite show, Durarara!. A few episodes turned into 5 then I ended up spending the whole day DRRR!. I was laying in front of the TV, nibbling on a stick of strawberry pocky; the 12 pack box was laying within hand reaching distance. I was finally on episode 22 when,

"Nani mo iwazuni toki wa nagareru
yagate kuru asa no hisashi ni tokeru youni sora ni kieru
saigo no yoru wa doko ni mo nakute
okizari no ore no kokoro o tsuki dake ga ima mo miteru"

I nearly jumped out of skin because my cell phone was suddenly playing my favorite part of "In The Moonlight" by Kinya Kotani. I almost choked when I realized it was my Giotto-nii's ringtone! I calmed my heartbeat then answered really fast. "G-Giotto-nii?"

"Hey Tsuna-chi!" I heard his familiar voice and almost giggled. Damn, I was acting like a school girl...

"Are you in Italy already?" I questioned. "Where exactly are you?"

"We're in Venice, and it is hot as hell!" I heard his gorgeous laugh. For some reason, it made me laugh. I always loved it when he laughed; it showed he was actually happy with his life.

He cleared his throat then asked, "So what'cha doin', Tsuna-chi?"

"Watching Durarara," I replied with a chuckle and a blush, but I was super glad Giotto-nii couldn't see it.

"Go figure, you're obsessed." He laughed then I heard him yell something to G, who then cursed loudly at my brother before he probably walked away.

"Nooo. It's just a good show, ne? Is something wrong with G?"

"Yeah, it's good. I just love giving you a hard time," he laughed again, and I swear I wanted to stay on the phone and talk to him all day. But sadly, "Well, I have to go. We're going out to eat. And G just lost a bet, so he'd upset 'cause he has to pay. I'll call you later when I get back to the hotel. Maybe you'll tell me who you're secretly in love with." I could hear Reborn in the background telling him to hurry hell up. Sounds legit.

"Don't get your hopes up." I laughed.

"You suck," he joked. "I'll talk to you later then, y'dig?"

"Mk."

"Bye, Tsuna-chi."

"Bye, Giotto-nii."

I heard his end of the call go silent then I spent at least 2 minutes listening to the dial tone before I hung up.

Suddenly, I didn't feel like finishing Durarara!, and I felt tired. I picked myself up, made my way up the stairs to my room then flopped down on my bed for a nap. I was just about to doze off when I thought about what happened in the shower earlier.

I gulped. 'Oh, shit...'

Let the dreams begins.

A/N: Hope it wasn't too rushed, and I hope it made sense. *sweatdrop and nervous laugh* I wonder what our little tuna fish will dream about... I have a few ideas, but I wanna know what you all can come up with. So, press that lil blue button below and leave me a review.
