The next day, the blonde felt better and tried to get up from his bed only to be stopped by Knuckle. The priest said that he'll research about his sickness and will definitely save the blonde from dying. All of them somehow returned normal, though their worried were still lingering.

After that incident, though, G and Primo's bond have worsened by their own little fight that day. Primo tried to speak with the readhead though, the other would just grunt or only spoke when necessary. The blonde felt hurt but somehow he can't show it to the others.

The guardians tried to restore their bonds, however failed as their attempts failed to reach the redhead's mind. The redhead would also ignore all of them when they spoke to him. Little did the readhead knew, that the blonde's time was almost up.


That particular night, G was up late at night as he felt thirsty and he needed to use the toilet too. As he walked nearby the Primo's quarter, he heard a crash followed by a harsh cough coming from the quarter. Quickly, he ran towards his best friend's room and entered the room. He was shocked to see Primo coughing harshly while his hands tried to reach the glass on the table. Forgetting about his little sulk, he quickly reached his best friend and rubbed his back in order to lessen the pain.

"Giotto!"

"*cough*…G…you…*cough* came..*cough*.."

"Idiot, don't talk! Why you-"

Before he managed to finish his sentence, the blonde cough more harshly than before and blood was seen on his hand.

"Giotto! You're-"

"Wait,… G….I…"

"Wait Giotto! I'll call Knuckle! He'll treat you immediately and you'll be fine!"

"G….Wait… don't… go…." The blonde stopped talking and puked blood which stained his and G's shirt. The redhead stopped moving and tried to stop the blonde from puking too much blood.

"Shit! Knuckle!"

At the same time, Tsuna entered the room. His eyes showed his fear as he saw his brother lying on the bed covered with blood.

"Tsuna! Quick! Call Knuckle! Hurry up!" the redhead yelled.

The little boy nodded before running as quick as his little feet can take him towards the sun guardian's room. At the same time, the redhead tried not to panic from seeing too much blood on his best friend's clothes.

The blonde seems to stop puking and just cough up blood and his body shivered from the blood loss. The redhead didn't know what to do, and it really pained him to see his best friend like this. The blonde was lying on G's lap and his face was wet from his own sweat and blood. The redhead could feel the blonde's body shivered and seems to be in pain.

"G…. Hear… me…" muttered the blonde in between his breath. The blonde has started to gasp for air as his lung is short on oxygen.

"Giotto! Don't speak! Please! You'll be fine! Knuckle'll arrive soon, so please, hang on!" said the readhead.

"I… want… you…to…take care… of…vongola…and tsuna…too…" muttered the blonde.

"What are you saying, idiot! Take care of it yourself, won't you! Be fine and you'll take care of it yourself!" The redhead can feel his eyes moisten as he said those words. It felt so empty, as he was witnessing his friend dying in front of him.

"I… entrust…you with..it….my…beloved….friend…G…."

The blonde started to gasp for air harshly as he knows that his time is up… at his last moment, he looked towards his best friend's eyes and said his last words,

"I'm sorry, and…. thank you….. for everything"

…..and he closed his eyes forever.

"Giotto? Hey, wake up! Giotto, don't do this to me! Hey!"

After that, the door burst open to reveal a sweating Knuckle with the other guardians behind him.

"G! Giotto!"

They practically knew what just happened as they saw the look on G's face who was staring at his blonde's friend, which have his eyes closed and a smile can be seen etched on his face.

Tsuna and his guardians started crying and mourn over their beloved sibling's death. The other guardians gathered around their boss to have his looks etched in their memories forever. However, as for the redhead, the time seems to stop for a while.

He was staring at his blonde friend's face and was burning the face inside his memories forever. But, somehow he can't get enough of it. He wanted to see his idiot friend's smile again. He wanted to see his reaction when he caught him lazing around not doing his paperworks again. He wanted to share their moments together again. And he can't get enough of it. And then, realization hit him. He'll never see those reactions and faces again. Never.
