"Aishiteru"

AN: So, I found this quote by Rose Walker, a character in the Sandman DC comic series by Neil Gaiman (well, it has been awhile since I read American comics since the Japanese basically caught me into their fandom) about love and decided to use each line of the quote for pairings I like in Katekyo Hitman Reborn! in a small series of oneshots.

(Some references to Future Arc so… if you're not up there in either the manga or anime, there will be spoilers!)

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! belongs to Amano Akira.

Chapter 4: Gokudera Hayato and Sawada Tsunayoshi (5927)

"You give them a piece of you.

They didn't ask for it.

They did something dumb one day,

like kiss you or smile at you,

and then your life isn't your own anymore."

Gokudera just wanted to make sure that his Juudaime was safe. Gokudera's heart was beating like mad as he ran towards Tsuna's home after he heard his Juudaime scream on the top of his lungs.

Gokudera arrived at the scene. Tsuna was arguing with Lambo for stealing the lucky charm Kyoko had given him during the Vongola Ring battles with The Varia.

"Juudaime!" yelled Gokudera.

"Gokudera-kun?"

"Juudaime! I ran as quickly as I could, what has this stupid cow done?"

Gokudera joined in trying to capture Lambo and eventually managed to take the lucky charm off his little hands. He handed the lucky charm back to Tsuna.

"You can't lose this Juudaime, I keep mine close, too."

Gokudera watched as Tsuna held the lucky charm to his heart. He wanted to hold Tsuna at that moment. He suddenly felt a strong jealousy towards Kyoko and hoped that Tsuna gave the same expression when his Juudaime thinks of him.

"Thank you, Gokudera-kun. This is important to me."

All Gokudera could do was smile but his heart was still beating like mad even though he was standing still.
