Chapter 4: Return

"W-What?" Fon couldn't believe his ears. Was he hearing it right? It just couldn't happen…right?

"Reborn went to check up on him today only to find him gone." Luce clutched her phone for dear life before glancing outside where it was pouring. The wind was blowing wildly but it wasn't hard enough to cancel any flights seeing as the planes were still coming in and departing. People outside were running around, trying to protect themselves with what little shelter they had, sometimes a magazine or newspaper, and would try to hide underneath. Taxi cars were coming in and out, their windshield wipers on the fastest mode possible to allow them to see through the wall of rain. "And there's a storm outside. Oh dear… Where could he have gone in this type of weather?"

The complexion on Fon's face turned white and he felt his stomach dropping in fear. He would have dropped his luggage in horror if he wasn't already keeping a firm grip on it.

The mother sighed and reached down to grasp Aria's hand. She tried to smile, to improve this dreadful situation that had fallen upon them. "W-Well, I guess we shouldn't worry so much, right now everyone is currently looking for him. It shouldn't take too long before he's found." She gave a nod but Fon was certain that it was more for her sake. To reassure herself that everything was going to be okay. "Right now, you need to get onto a plane to get home. Go on." Luce tried to smile again and gave a harsh shove to get Fon moving when he hadn't budged an inch. Moving back into line, his thoughts ran wild within and only shifted his feet when the person in front moved. As he got to the front, he bit the bottom of his lip, still unable to decide on what to do.

"Hello, sir. Where will you be heading today?" The attendant smiled, not knowing what was going on.

Fon bit his lip harder and glanced back at Luce for a second. His luggage was held tightly in his hands, almost turning his fingers white, and gazed outside for a moment to look at the rain before back to the attendant. Taking a deep breath, he took a step back and went out of the line. The attendant looked at him strangely at his action, calling out to him, but he ignored her and went straight to Luce. He closed his eyes for a second, knowing that this was the right thing to do. He just knew it. "Let's go, Luce."

The mother blinked in surprise, mouth wide open in shock. "Huh? Wait, you need to go home! You need to get your ticket!"

The man just smiled softly, not caring about what he had just done. Plus, he could always get a new ticket later on. Raising a hand, his free one, he placed it gently onto Luce's shoulder and tilted his head. "I can't leave, not like this. I'd be worried the entire time so I'm going to stay and help. And anyway, Tsuna is my responsibly. I've been watching him for so long that perhaps I know him better than anyone else now. No… I know I do." Fon reached downward, taking Luce's other hand, and basically dragged her outside to where the taxis were located. All a while, he didn't listen to a single word his friend said behind and somewhat shoved (as nicely as possible, this is Fon after all) into the back seat and got the driver to go.

"Seriously, Fon, what are you doing?" Luce cried out from behind, Aria sitting next to her. "I know you're worried but…" She trailed off, not sure on how to continue that sentence. But, what? She wasn't sure.

As they were going down the street, Fon glanced back with a smile, his luggage in the trunk. Color had come back to his face and he looked more alive than ever before. His long braid was over his left houlder, coming down to his lap. "I just have to. I'm worried about Tsuna too. I wouldn't be able to leave here in peace if I didn't know for sure if he was alright. If anything happened to him, I would never forgive myself." The Chinese gave the driver directions back to the apartment he had shared with the brunet as the words settled into Luce's mind. But she still didn't like it… However, she knew it was the truth. She had noticed it over the time she had watched the two interact. They were close, closer than anyone has ever gotten before and because of that, they looked so happy in each other's presence. If there was one person that knew Tsuna the best, it was Fon.

"Oh, Fon…"

"It's fine. It's my choice." The black-haired man nodded and went back to the window, looking through the rain-covered glass. It was hard to see even with the windshield wiper going as fast as it could. "So tell me, what has happened so far?"

Luce sighed and leaned forward, Aria still next to her. She had given up on changing her friend's mind, it was too late now. "All we know is that he's somewhere on the streets. He's not at home and everyone is running through every building they can find searching. But at the moment, no one has been able to spot him or else someone would have messaged the rest of us."

"I see…" Fon turned towards the window, deep in thought. As they entered the streets, they immediately went on the lookout for the brunet but the rain made it hard. Everyone on the street had umbrellas that would cover their heads and the windows were already blurry from the water. It was nearly impossible.

Fon sighed to himself. 'Where could he have gone? Come on, remember. There has to be something.' His eyes glanced around the area, traveling over the buildings. As they went over a bridge, he stared at the river, watching the rain hit, and traveled up to another bridge that was further away. Suddenly, it hit to him.

"Well... I would go down to the river and hide underneath one of the bridges."

"Under the bridge, it's really quiet and no one really goes down there either so I always get the entire place to myself…I happen to like the gentle sounds of the water it makes down there, it's really relaxing. It's as if everything is standing still for just a few moments, that all my problems temporally leaves me alone and exits my mind for that instant."

Fon's eyes widened as the memory appeared in his mind. He reacted instantly.

"Stop!"

In that instant, the driver pressed the brake, skidding along the wet concrete, and would have spun out of control if the driver hadn't kept the wheel straight. Fon didn't wait for long as he was out the door and running through the rain, his long hair dangling behind. He didn't even hear Luce calling out for him for him nor did he care as he got drenched in the cold rain, his silk clothes sticking to his skin, getting heavy as each passing moment. The wind only made it worse and he could feel his body going numb as he fought against it.

His hair clung to his skin and as he reached the slope to the river, he turned his head and made his braid flip back and forth. Immediately when he decided on one (the one that was the closest to the apartment), he started running towards it as fast as he could and as he got close to it, he made his way down the slope and into the grass on the bottom. He was now next to the rushing water that was steadily rising up. Racing forward, his feet would splash into the puddles of water that were steadily growing, the insides of his brown boots soaked. And as he got closer, it was there he spotted a small bundle hiding underneath the bridge. Fon's eyes widened at the sight and quickened his pace towards it, only slowing his steps as he went under and into cover. Taking deep breaths, he eyed the thing carefully, puffs of air appearing before his lips, and he shivered from the cold once he stopped. "T-Tsuna?"

Uncurling, the person looked up curiously, still clinging to his legs tightly. Large honey eyes blinked at the sight. Instantaneously, Tsuna jumped off the rock he had been sitting on and took a step forward, almost tripping in shock. Disbelief was evident in his eyes and rubbed them to make sure what he was seeing before him was real. "F-Fon? W-What…"

The Chinese man sighed in relief and stepped forward, pushing some of his bangs out of his face. He felt like a great weight on his shoulders has been lifted. Tsuna was there before him, completely fine. "Oh, thank goodness." Reaching forward, he wrapped his arms around the smaller man, burying his face into the neck, and took in the warmth the other had since his body was so cold. He was so happy…so very happy.

Immediately, Tsuna blushed at the contact and pressed his hands into Fon's chest to put some distance. "F-Fon? What happened to you? And you're soaking wet!" He roughly yanked back, looking over the man in front of him, ignoring the spots of water that has gotten onto his clothes. All he needed to see was the other shivering ever so slightly before moving closer. "Ahh… You're going to get sick."

Fon took a deep breath and closed his eyes, his fingers reaching up to touch and caress Tsuna's left check. A fluttering sensation appeared in his heart and it just felt so right to him, that everything was as it should. The brunet stopped all movements, his eyes watching curiously. And then slowly Fon's pale hand drifted downward, brushing against the younger man's lips.

"F-Fon?" Whispering the name, Tsuna watched the other's face get just mere inches away from his own. The taller man sighed once more, wondering if he should really be doing this, but gave into his desire, pushing the rest of the distance and closing it off with their lips, crushing them together. A muffled squeak came from Tsuna, his face heating up but that one sound gave Fon the chance he needed to slip his tongue inside. He spent no time in mapping out the brunet's mouth, tasting and probing every curve he could.

A soft strangled moan came from Tsuna and slowly he started to return the kiss. It was hesitant and careful but once the burnet was comfortable with the touches and what was going on, he leaned further in. Neither of them knew how long they stood there, tongues tangled together but neither of them cared. Their hands went around, touching and feeling what they could. It was so warm… A droplet or two of water would fall from Fon's bangs, hitting the brunet's cheeks and slid down but it didn't bother Tsuna at all.

That was until Fon pulled back for a cough.

This made the brunet snap out of his lustful daze and blush bright red. That simple cough was followed by another and then another. "Ah…You're starting to get sick! We should start heading back home before it gets any worse!" He didn't allow Fon to have a chance to reply back and ran outside with his hand clasped around the others tightly. The cold rain pelted him painfully but he ignored the feeling to keep running. Luckily, his apartment wasn't too far away and they were both made it inside before he knew it. Tsuna had water dripping from his hair and clothes but to Fon, the brunet looked absolutely delectable.

Immediately, the Chinese man turned away from the sight before he could do anything he wasn't so sure about and rubbed his forehead gently. 'I'm really starting to losing control of myself whenever I'm around him.' Placing his long sleeve against his face to keep his hair away from falling back down, he was literally dragged to the elevator by Tsuna, unable to resist. The two of them got a couple of looks from those that were in the lobby but it wasn't accusing since it was still pouring outside. But the cleaners did throw a glare or two their way since they were dripping water everywhere and leaving a trail of it behind. The older man coughed once more and could feel his breathing getting heavier at each passing second.

Tsuna, on the other hand, blushed when he saw the sight of Fon. The way the clothes were clinging to the Chinese man left nothing much to the imagination and made Tsuna turn redder at his running thoughts. He didn't dare think in fear of where it might go.

As they reached the apartment and entered, Tsuna instantly started shoving the Chinese man towards the bathroom. "You need a warm shower right now! Hurry! Before your cold gets any worse."

Fon glanced back as he was pushed into the room. "What about you? You're wet too." He coughed again after that, covering his mouth.

"Well, I'm not the one that is already sick! Now don't argue with me! And don't lock the door either, I'll need to bring some dry clothes for you to wear." Tsuna grumbled, quickly turning on the water to almost scorching hot.

Fon chuckled, a mischievous thought running through his head and walked over, wrapping his arms around the smaller body. He leaned in, burying his cold face into the crook of Tsuna's neck, and pressed a kiss against the skin. "If you'd like to know, you're welcome to peek."

At once, Tsuna blushed bright red, almost dropping the towel he had just grabbed, and made a loud squeak in response.

The other was now laughing, watching as the brunet yanked away from him and stare with wide eyes. A couple of stutters came from poor Tsuna as he tried to talk but nothing came out correctly. Fon, deciding to tease the other further, started to unbutton his clothes and in reply, the younger man jumped out of the room, panicking. The brunet slammed the door shut and waited outside, hearing the other laugh at his reaction. When the Chinese man opened the door slightly to hand over his clothes, Tsuna turned to the side so that he couldn't catch sight of anything he didn't really want to see and held onto the wet garbs tightly.

"As you said, I'm not going to lock the door, just come in anytime you want." Fon leaned over and gave a quick kiss on the check, chuckling as he viewed Tsuna's face blush once more.

Shuffling away, the brunet tried to get away and out of sight as fast as possible, disappearing around the corner. The older man, on the other hand, laughed some more, loving every reaction Tsuna gave, before heading back into the room to get himself warmed up. As Tsuna ran around, he changed his clothes and managed to get his hair dry during the process before settling into the kitchen. He wandered around the little room in frustration before deciding to prepare hot water for some tea and left to gather some dry clothes for Fon (they were just a pair of pants and a long-sleeve shirt). He went back to the bathroom to put them inside, still hearing the sound of running water, and then ran out without even looking.

As Tsuna finished putting together his tea, he decided to wait at his kitchen table, sipping on his drink and liked the heat it brought to his bones. And during that time, he managed to calm down, but his thoughts couldn't leave from those kisses and blushed brightly all over again. The places where Fon's lips had touched felt like they were burning his skin but not painfully. It was a pleasant sensation and slowly reached up with a hand to touch the spot Fon had recently kissed (his cheek) before sighing loudly. 'Way too much drama in one day. He leaves and then comes back and kisses me… Oh my god! His plane!'

Suddenly, a warm body pressed up against his own from behind, keeping Tsuna seated and from standing up, with thin fingers wrapping around the cup and the brunet's hands. The mug was pulled away, tugged out of the brunet's grasp. Tsuna gasped at the sudden touches and glanced up to see Fon, slowly drinking the rest of his tea. As he stared, he realized that they had just shared an indirect kiss.

Fon kept the cup close to his lips, sipping on it leisurely while keeping himself balanced. After a few seconds, the cup was pulled away. "Before you start asking things, I think there is something that needs to happen first. Yes, I'm well aware that I'm not on a plane. Why? Because I came back for you, I heard that you went missing."

Tsuna tilted his head at this. "Missing? When?"

Raising an eyebrow, Fon sadly pulled away from Tsuna, staring down at the brunet. "Today… Reborn came over here to see you and couldn't find you. After that, everyone went onto a search party to find you. Now that I mentioned that, I wonder what happened to Luce. I did just leave her like that in the taxi with all my stuff and strangely she didn't arrive here. Must have gone home instead. Well, I should probably call her tomorrow morning to make sure that everything is alright."

"Wait…you left Luce? Alone?"

"Yeah. I ran out when I suddenly remembered one of our conversations. I hope she's not mad at me."

Tsuna gave a face, not really sure on how to react to that. "I think you might want to make that call now…"

After a few moments, Fon replied. "I'll text her…right now." Disappearing with his phone (which was still oddly working even though it was wet) but before that, Fon had placed the mug back into Tsuna's hands. The brunet tightened his grip around it and stared. He wanted to drink the rest of it but at the same time… He blushed at the thought. Tsuna had been so deep in thought that he didn't even hear Fon finishing his message and coming up behind him (and was even coughing loudly) but the Chinese man didn't bother the other, observing and not saying a word.

Silently chuckling at the sight, Fon knew exactly what was going on, it was so obvious. He had just finished sending a long text to Luce, saying that he was sorry for leaving her like that and that he'll pay for the taxi fare. He was also letting her know that he had found Tsuna and brought him home, making sure that he'll stay with the brunet the entire time and that Tsuna hadn't really went missing, just taking a walk. Bending over, Fon smiled softly at the expression and stepped around. Carefully, he wrapped his arms around the brunet's neck, not letting the other know until he placed some pressure.

"Hiieeee!" A screech came from Tsuna, dropping the mug in his hands in shock. It clattered on the table but luckily didn't flip over and spill the rest of the contents onto the wood. "F-Fon!"

The Chinese man just laughed at the reaction before breaking out into a cough, pulling back for a moment to cover his mouth. His eyes were closed shut and his head was starting to throb painfully. He swayed a little before shaking his head to clear his vision.

Standing up, Tsuna raced to the man's side. "Okay, Fon, you need to get some rest. You're definitely sick now."

"I guess…" Fon coughed for a moment, cutting his words, his lungs starting to hurt from the force. "…some rest is an order."

"Obviously."

Leaning over, the taller man gave a weak smile. "Then I'm in your care." He shifted closer and placed a hand on Tsuna's shoulders, not because he wanted to touch the other but because he was starting to feel dizzy. "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay with to you tonight."

"O-Okay…" Tsuna nodded, unable to find an argument with that since he noticed that Fon's complexion was starting to get pale. Instantly, he started making his way with the older man beside him towards his bedroom. It was obvious that Tsuna wasn't going to be leaving Fon's side at all tonight. After all, the older man was in no condition to be doing anything. Carefully, he tucked the older man into his bed but not before watching him untie his long black hair and scatter the strands around his body. Tsuna got the bed ready and turned to get a look over the other's face but before that happened, he was pulled into his own bed.

"F-Fon?" Tsuna lifted himself up, blinking curiously. It wasn't until the other laid down on the other side with an arm wrapped around his waist that he realized his position. He opened his mouth to say something but was stopped when a finger reached up to touch his lips, silencing him.

"Just stay with me. I'm tired." Fon smiled softly. "Alright?"

Squirming a little, Tsuna nodded and shifted closer. The covers were thrown over their forms, all nestled together. The bed sheets immediately tangled around their bodies and for once, Tsuna smiled in comfort, nuzzling into Fon's chest. It's been a long time since he had ever felt this comfortable and before he knew it, he was fast asleep. The other ran his fingers through the caramel-colored hair, examining the soft expression. Perhaps this could end well.

Ring…Ring…

"The number you have called is not at home right now. Please leave a message after the tone."

"Hey, Tsuna are you home right now? Luce said you are. Pick up the phone."

Fon's eyes fluttered open, waking up from the noise. He blinked his eyes tiredly, his vision blurry before clearing up, and glanced outside. The storm was still going on, raging against the glass window since the curtains were wide open. His head was pounding and he felt so weak, his body heavy. In all honestly, he felt like shit. Everything hurt and his throat was sore. Coughing a bit, he covered his mouth and right after, he tried to take a deep breath. Not wanting to get up since he was so comfortable right now, he closed his eyes again, wanting to drift back to sleep.

Ring…Ring…

Ring…Ring…

"The number you have called is not at home right now. Please leave a message after the tone."

"Tsuna, this is Haru. Are you home? Everyone says you are. Pick up please."

Ring…Ring…

'Guess I have no choice.' Fon got up, slipping out of the bed and from the tangle of limbs, and wobbled slightly as he tried to remain standing. He was a little curious as to why Tsuna could sleep through the noise but shrugged his shoulders. 'He's probably used to it.' Meanwhile, the phone continued to ring and he opened the door to the living room where it was at. Picking it up, he sighed with relief as the annoying noise stopped. "Hello?"

There was a silence on the other end.

"You're not Jyudaime… Where's Jyudaime? And who the fuck are you?"

Fon winced at the yell and pulled the phone away from his ear. "He's here with me. And this is Fon."

"Can I speak to him? Is he alright! He's not hurt, is he?"

"No, he's sleeping right now." He yawned before breaking out into a cough. "And you woke me up too."

"Why would you be sleeping too?"

"We're sleeping together."

There was another silence.

Realizing how that could be misinterpreted, Fon instantly pulled the phone away and just in time. A yell broke through it and Fon eyed the device before cutting off the line with one quick press of a button. Placing the phone back into its slot, he was about to walk away and go back to bed when the phone began to ring again.

The man stared at the device before reaching down to yank out the plug.

Silence…

Fon smiled in delight and went towards the bedroom, another cough escaping his lips before collapsing back onto the mattress. He nuzzled into the covers, bringing his arms over the sleeping bundle beside him. Completely content with Tsuna in his grasp, nestled up against him, he fell promptly back asleep.

He could go back to China on a later date.

Oh my god! We're almost done! NOOoooooo! Only one chapter left!

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Hope you've enjoyed this somewhat long chapter.
