A/N: This must be the shortest of all seven... I think? (laughs) oops I forgot to update yesterday! My bad! Anyhoo here is chapter 4! Review Kudasai(please)!


Sloth-Accidia-無関心

Several cries could be heard within the library. Gokudera as tired as he was refused to let Belphegor win; Belphegor on the other hand had more energy then he could muster after he "broke". It was the ring battle that could tie the Vongola with the Varia, or let the Varia have a better chance of winning. Meanwhile the cries were telling Gokudera to give up.

Gokudera refused to, his pride of shaming Tsuna came first before his life, and that's how it always was going to be.

"Stop joking around!"

Gokudera was shocked to hear Tsuna shout at him, so shocked he nearly let go of the ring.

"Have you thought about what your fighting for!" Tsuna cried.

Just those words made Gokudera remember, even though he couldn't see his own life and how much it mattered to people. Just the command from his boss to make him remember everything. It was not that he didn't want this life, its that he wanted to make use of it in the best way possible. But if his death was not welcomed by Tsuna there was no choice but to surrender.

Gokudera pulled back at the last second, escaping the bombing.

The monitor went blank on the spectators area, Tsuna fell to his knees. "Why, Gokudera-kun? Why?" He whispered to himself.

But suddenly from the dust and smoke emerged Gokudera. Everyone looked at him with surprise and great happiness.

"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna cried along with everyone else.

"I'm sorry…10th…the ring was taken. But I wanted to see the fireworks again, so I've come back…" Gokudera said weakly after he collapsed on the ground. But in reality the reason why he came back was not only to see the fireworks with everyone, the real reason…was to be with Tsuna.

"Thank goodness Gokudera-kun." Tsuna smiled.

After Gokudera had been treated further by Shamal and everyone went home, Gokudera opened his eyes. He had been asleep ever since he collapsed in the school.

"10th…"

"I'm glad your awake." Tsuna smiled

"10th, where is everyone else?" Asked Gokudera as he tried to sit up.

"They went home, Reborn too." Tsuna said,

"I see…"

There stood an awkward silence, Tsuna who didn't have much to say just wanted to be with Gokudera until he woke up. Gokudera on the other hand, didn't know what to say. He did save himself as encouraged by Tsuna. But he felt as though he weren't forgiven by Tsuna, even though Tsuna was truly grateful to have him back alive.

"10th…I…" "Gokudera-kun…" Both Gokudera and Tsuna said at once,

"10th you go first!"

"It's alright you first Gokudera-kun."

"10th, I'm sorry for what happened back there, I lost the ring…and I put myself in danger."

"Gokudera-kun…" Tsuna smiled, he paused then spoke, "Gokudera-kun I'm glad you came back. But please don't ever neglect your life like that ever again, please…" Tsuna said not looking at Gokudera but downcast.

"10th…I came back for you. Not only for the fireworks."

"Thank you Gokudera-kun. Though he have to defeat Xanxus, I just really want you to be here with me, I don't want you to die." Tsuna said this now looking at Gokudera.

"My life is in your hands 10th…" Gokudera said hugging him,

"No its yours and yours alone. I just want you to remember how much you will be missed, Gokudera-kun. Nothing is never more important then someone's life, especially the life of someone you care about."

"10th…" Gokudera paused, "I will protect this life for everyone, but mostly for you, 10th."

Tsuna looked up at Gokudera and kissed him lightly on the lips. "I'm glad." He whispered.

"You chose to live your life and to not use it against you."
