Like a Boss
Prompt: Heartbreak
Characters: Sawada Tsunayoshi, Rokudo Mukuro
Mukuro is the guardian that Tsuna often thinks needs his help the most and the least at the same time.
The mist guardian is more than capable of handling himself, both mentally and physically. He's given the most solo missions because Tsuna trusts him and knows he can complete them.
At the same time, when Mukuro breaks he is completely destroyed, something Tsuna has only seen twice because Mukuro is determined not to involve anyone in his personal issues.
So when Tsuna opens his bedroom door to find Mukuro standing there – hair mused and eyes a distinctively different red color than normal – after one of his disappearance acts, fear courses through him because this is so uncharacteristic of the Mukuro he knows.
"Mukuro, what's wrong?" he questions, stepping out of the bedroom and closing the door softly so Kyoya doesn't wake up, which just goes to show how important this is because Mukuro would never risk Kyoya seeing him like that.
"Tsuna, in Paris-" Mukuro's voice choked up as he mentioned his favorite city. "In Paris, there was this girl that I met when I left after that mission I did with Lambo a few years ago." Tsuna's mouth twitched down as he remembered. Lambo and Mukuro had been on a friendly visit with an ally and afterwards Mukuro had pulled one of his disappearance acts and been gone for almost a month. By the end of the month, Chrome's eyes had looked permanently bloodshot and puffy and people had begun to pressure him to put full Mist Duties on Chrome. "I wasn't going to come back Tsuna."
Tsuna nodded, "I suspected as much. You'd never left that long before."
"Tsuna," Mukuro's voice constricted as he looked into Tsuna's eyes, "I wasn't going to come back but then they hurt her."
It hit him like a ton of bricks what Mukuro was trying to say. That the girl had been murdered.
"Oh god," Tsuna whispered. "Mukuro I'm so-"
"Don't," Mukuro cut off. "Please don't. I just want you to-"
Tsuna cut him off, "Of course. Where is he?"
"Fiji."
Tsuna hummed lightly, "I think Kyoya might have some contacts there. I'll see what he can do with the police and I'll make sure the jet is ready in the morning."
Mukuro didn't say anything but the silent thank you was evident in his eyes.
