"Breathe in and out Tsunayoshi."

The voice told him gently. He tried though, he really did. But all he felt from his surroundings were the intense intake of flames, as well as someones hand caressing his. The feeling of soft yet rough hands held onto his own as the pulse of flames emitted from it. Tsuna could feel yet at the same time he couldn't, confusing him and caused his heart to beat faster and faster. His breaths came out in ripples and sounded as if he was having an attack, but he wasn't. The flames that he felt within his core made it hard for him to concentrate, as well as make it hard for him to distinguish reality and fantasy. Sucking in a breathe, he leaned more toward the others flame but flinched when the flame grew. Currently he and Fon were sitting in front of each other, Tsuna had told the other to help him train but in order to fully do that, he had to get used to the storm's flames.

"Do you need me to stop?"

The brunette shook his head and slowly opened his eyes, only to be welcomed back to the dark. He moved his eyes over the area before himself and bit his lip when he couldn't see anything. Without his headphones his worth plummeted. Tsuna exhaled and squeezed Fon's hands, warily smiling when he felt the other move his hand to the side of his cheek. "We should stop for now Tsunayoshi, before you overwhelm yourself." Fon's voice was smooth and soft. The brunette wanted to protest, to say he could keep going but all he could do was nod numbly as he let out a shaky breath as Fon's thumb ran across his cheek. The Storm couldn't help but be entranced at the glazed and faded look his Sky had. "Tsuna," he muttered out. The brunette hummed and looked up to where he thought Fon was, the elder frowned when the Sky had a tired look in his eyes.

"I think you should head to bed," Tsuna shook his head but let his storm steadily, reach his arms out, taking him within his own. The brunette whined out in protest yet let the other do what he pleased. Fon let his arms wrap around Tsuna and let one hand slid underneath his legs. Letting out a huff, the braided male noticed how light the other was and grew concerned but decided that it was for another time to ask his Sky. Walking through the condo, Fon found Tsuna's bedroom and slowly placed the other down onto the bed. He let his palm cup the others face, tracing his thumb across the others cheek and down to his lips before he covered the other with a duvet. Just as he was about to leave a hand wrapped around his wrist. Looking back, he saw Tsuna looking into his direction with pleading eyes. He gently put his other hand on the brunette's as Tsuna had his head buried into the pillow, his eyes closed for a brief moment as he lightly gripped Fon's wrist.

"Don't leave," Caramel eyes looked up at dark hazelnut ones. "Please." Something within Fon pounded as he felt his heart clench at the sight. Slowly he raised Tsuna's hand, that covered his own, up to his lips. Gently, he let his lips skim over the other's knuckles.

"Of course."

Tsuna felt himself float once more, except the air was more dense and suffocating. Each breath he took felt as if needles were stabbing his lungs, attacking his insides. A small orange light flew out of his shirt and a familiar orange pacifier came into view, floating before him. Tsuna then knew he was having a Lucid dream. Slowly, he moved down as he felt the warmth of the pacifier lighting his way as it shone through the dark abyss. Tsuna then realized it was hard to see as he went further and further down. Mist, he thought his hand reached out and felt the air around him, shivering once the air dampened. Tsuna let out a breathe and jumped back when he realized his breath came out in puffs of smoke. He then heard yells and quickly maneuvered his way through the mist, his heart pounding whenever the screams grew louder and louder. Once he reached to where the area had the screams, they suddenly stopped. Tsuna looked around and almost cried out when he saw a trail of blood on the floor. He slowly walked toward the scene and crouched down. A sudden whisper in his ear made him jump back as he then noticed a two-story house in front of him. Shivers crawled down his spine as the door creaked opened and mist streamed out. Slowly he made his way up the stairs of the house and let his hand run over the decaying wood. As he stepped inside he screamed out as he felt himself fall.

Tsuna woke up with a gasp and he quickly looked around and found himself in the dark. He sighed in relieve as he realized he wasn't dreaming anymore. He sat up straight and drew his legs towards his chest, sitting there- he tried to comprehend his dream. He thought over it and let himself relax before he moved off the bed. Tsuna stood still for a moment and noticed the condo was silent, he then realized that Fon was here before and steadily made his way to the living-room, hands trailing against the wall in order to keep himself from falling. "Fon?" He said softly, a frown marred his face as he heard no response. Once he had made his way into the main room, he sat down; running his fingers through his hair as he tried to calm himself.

The dreams he kept having were scaring him, feeling and seeing places he's never been to was frightening and he hated it. He hated feeling weak, this was why he asked for help but before he could train, he had to grow accustomed to flames. His acquaintances flames were strong and powerful, something that overwhelmed him as soon as he felt them. Pulling his knees to his chest, Tsuna closed his eyes as he tried to concentrate. Then the feeling of flames overtook his fingers, and he slowly let his flames flow out. Tsuna bit his lip when he couldn't hold his flames as he used to, it pained him to have them on for over a minute but he tried, he really did.

"How's our sky?"

A hum came after the question as the smell of cigarettes wafted through the air. Reborn looked down as he blew out a smoke from his mouth, his eyes narrowing at the man before him. "Weak," muttered the braided male. Fon sighed as he thought back on Tsuna and felt his heart tighten at the sight of his Sky struggling to keep up with them. He knew the other tried but there was only so much his Sky could do in a certain period.

"Though he knows about that. It's the reason why he asked me to train him but he can't handle our flames. No matter how much he would try we overwhelm him."

The ravenette sighed as he pushed himself off the wall, throwing the cigarette to the floor, crushing it underneath his dress shoe. The pile of ash stared back at the hitman as it drifted with the wind. "He'll become used to it as we interact with him more, and more. Although, he should've started with a lower flame."

"You mean like Skull?"

A disgusted look etched on Reborns face as he heard the name. "Sadly yes, out of all of us, Skull's flames are the lowest depict him being as obnoxious and loud as he is." Fon frowned at the way the other described the Cloud but knew it was true. The braided male ran his hand through his hair as he looked off into the distance. Their location was an odd one but the Sun had decided with it as it was a more secure place to talk among themselves.

"But even though that fools flames may be low, it can spike up any minute, meaning our Sky's Cloud is unstable." Reborn looked to the ground before looking at his watch, frowning as he realized the time. Fon looked at the taller man and looked off into the sunrise.

"We should head back, dawn is near. I also received a letter today from CheckerFace that our next mission is in the next two days so I need to meet up with Tsuna later on to help him become accustomed to my Storm flames."

"We have to remember our Sky is fragile, anything that can upset him upsets us."

"I know."

When Tsuna was small he dreamt of touching the Sky, being where the clouds would be, the sun, the mist, the storm, rain, lightning... But he couldn't reach to them, after all, he was weak. His fathers side was the most likely reason he was involved within the mafia, his mothers side was calm and reassuring. Yes, there were a few dealers within his mothers bloodline but it didn't affect him as much as his fathers. His mother once told him that in order to chase the Sky's elements, the Sky must grow strong themselves. And that's that Tsuna did, he reached and reached but soon he realized the more he went toward his goal, it would become more farther. So he stopped. Tsuna had grown accustomed to the dark when his only family disappeared one by one, leaving him behind. His blood was filled with murder as time grew on, the way others took their life for him was engraved within. Now he fears he'll lose his elements too if he took the wrong turn. This was why he wanted to grow stronger when he was younger, but the doubt his father gave him made him stay put, depict his mothers attempt to pull him through.

Letting out a shaky breath, the brunette let his hand rest on his chest. He took a deep breath as he felt his heart pound erratically, head hurting. He truly was weak, but that won't stop him from trying to protect his elements. Even if it meant losing himself during the process.

A/N: To those still reading this fic, hey. I know I haven't updated in a year but that's mostly due to laziness and school since I don't have as much time as I used to. This chapter has been in my drafts for awhile and just recently I thought about correcting a few things and publishing- even though this chapter doesn't really feel right. I honestly don't know when the next update will be but I at least plan to continue this story half way- which is not even close so don't worry. Last chapter i mentioned ships which in retrospect is kind of dumb since this fic is arco27 meaning every Arcobaleno will have a romantic-type relationship with Tsuna but when I asked, I think I sorta thought of it as like the most voted ship would have more 'screen time' than the rest. I don't really know but I still have a poll on my page so ya'll can still decide for a more 'screen time' ship or just keep it as equal arco27.
