Chapter 7

"Tsunayoshi…"

How long had it been since someone had just uttered the name. He couldn't even remember the nurses or doctors call him that. It was always 'Sawada' with them, just another name that Tsuna couldn't live up to. How many time did he hear 'Dame' in front of his name? It almost seemed like he was the living definition of it.

Sighing he draped himself on the railing looking down at the concrete ground. Was there a point in suicide? He just didn't understand Yamamoto. The boy had everything Tsuna could have wished for: a loving family, friends and classmates that adore him and not to mention a perfectly healthy body that was sure to let him live to at least 70. Yet he wanted to kill himself.

Pitiful really. At least Tsuna had something to look forward to. Smiling to himself he looked up to the cloudy sky filled with rain.

"Ha-ha! I really do love the rain!"

XxX

Yamamoto Takeshi stood in front of his father, eyes shrouded by his hair, dripping wet due to the rain.

"Takeshi? Aren't you supposed to be at school?" Asked his father, confused "Kami your dripping wet! Stay there I'll get you a towel."

"Tou-san..."

"Huh? What is it?"

"Who am I? I can't be Yamamoto Takeshi the baseball star, I can't be Yamamoto Takeshi the school idol, I can't even be Yamamoto Takeshi the boy who committed suicide by jumping off of the school roof because I can't even do that right. I guess I can only be Yamamoto Takeshi the boy who killed his own Mo-"SLAP

"YOU TRIED TO KILL YOURSELF! NO WAIT, YOU THINK YOU KILLED YOUR OWN MOTHER!"

"Tou-san?"

"WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT?"

"Because she pushed me out of the way… I should have-"

"DON'T BE STUPID TAKESHI! WHY WOULD SHE WATCH YOU GET KILLED! NO MOTHER WOULD STAND LIVING IF IT MEANT THAT THEIR ONLY SON HAD TO DIE!"

"THEN WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO! IF SHE DIDN'T DIE YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPIER!"

"DON'T BE RIDICULOUS TAKESHI! I COULD NEVER HAVE LIVED WITH MYSELF KNOWING THAT I LEFT MY KID TO DIE BECAUSE I WANTED MY WIFE MORE! I COULD NEVER COOSE BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU, IF ANYTHING I SHOULD HAVE GONE UNDER THAT TRUCK, IT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE THERE ANYWAY!"

"TOU-SAN"

"TAKESHI! I DON'T CARE if your Yamamoto Takeshi the baseball star! I DON'T CARE if your Yamamoto Takeshi the school idol! AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT MY SON TO BE YAMAMOTO TAKESHI THE BOY WHO COMITTED SUICIDE ON THE SCHOOL ROOF! If anything Takeshi, I just want you to be Yamamoto Takeshi, my son…"

"HOW-" Tsuyoshi hadn't given him a chance to continue as he grabbed his son and gave him a bone crushing hug.

"By being you…" He said softly, and that was all it took for Takeshi to burst into tears. The two cried for the woman they had lost, they cried for the fact that Takeshi had wanted to commit suicide and they cried for the pain and loss they had shared together.

The shop hadn't opened the next day and Takeshi didn't go to school. But one thing was certain, they had both found their lost happiness in each other. And this time Takeshi would protect it with his life.

AN: A bit short but I wanted to close Yamamoto's case before I started anything else. Reborn comes back in the next chapter and sorry for my latest disappearance, school sucks! But anyway read and review. More updates soon. No really you're getting like three more chapters after this. I'm really weird…
