Chapter 9

Dashing across streets of the bustling city, ignoring the numerous traffic lights that he has encountered so far, Tsuna finally made it to Mukuro's apartment. With his index finger shaking, he made up his mind and finally attacked the doorbell with the shaky finger. The reason why his finger, no, scrape that, his whole body was trembling was not only because of how hard he was trying to control his tears. Nor was it because of what his husband said to him but rather, the fact that he has finally come to a decision.

He's going to leave his husband. His playmate since they were in their diapers, his first love, the guy he lost his virginity to, the person whom he had waited and waited for to come back to his senses; to realise that he wasn't getting revenge on anything by hurting him. He's finally had enough of Byakuran.

While waiting for Mukuro to open the door, memories that he shared with Byakuran continued replaying through his mind. The happy memories where Byakuran proposed to him, the sad memory when Byakuran left him for 2 whole years without even sending an email or giving him a phone call. When Mukuro finally opened the door, the scene he saw nearly gave him a heart attack.

Tsuna stood at the entrance of the apartment, looking dishevelled, trembling and last but not least, extremely emotionally unstable. Questions he wanted to ask Tsuna on why he was in this current state seemed to be never-ending. However, he knew that it wouldn't be good to question his precious Tsuna when he's in such a state. Instead, he did what he wanted to do since a long time ago. He embraced Tsuna. It was a tight embrace, an embrace to let Tsuna know that he isn't alone. That HE was always here for him. No matter what happened, he was the one that eased his sadness. The one that loved him more than anyone.

Needless to say, Tsuna was shocked at the embrace. However, it felt really comfortable. He didn't feel like crying anymore when he was in the embrace. Snuggling closer into Mukuro's chiselled chest, he gave in to the exhaustion of running too much. He fell asleep, feeling as safe as he did last night.

Feeling Tsuna go limp in his arms, he instinctively carried Tsuna to the bed in which he complimented last night. After pulling the blanket over his precious to keep him warm, he did what he thought he would never have the guts to do.

He kissed Tsuna on his lips. The lips tasted like cinnamon, with a hint of milk and honey, a totally unique taste. A Tsuna taste. Pulling himself back before he went too far, he went straight to bathroom for a cold shower.

It was only in the evening that Tsuna woke up. Waking up to a Mukuro, setting the table with a scrumptious meal of all his favourite food.

"Awake, Tsuna? Come here and set the table with me!" commanded Mukuro in his usual haughty tone. Tsuna sat there, stoned. Somehow, he didn't feel hungry, he didn't feel like doing anything other than laying down on the bed. "Mukuro, can you please come here for a moment?" Tsuna spoke in a tone so soft that it was only barely above a whisper in terms of decibels.

Mukuro rushed to his side in an instant, hugging Tsuna the minute Tsuna was within arm's reach. "Tsuna, I don't know what exactly happened, I don't know what the Bastard did to you, but know this, I won't forgive him." Mukuro muttered into Tsuna's ears while hugging him. Tsuna was shocked by the sudden hug. Relaxing into the hug, he told Mukuro exactly what happened, from the very beginning when he met Byakuran.

"I knew Byakuran when we were kids, due to the fact that our mafia families have dealings with each other. The fact that we were of somewhat similar age led to our parents thinking that we could get along well with each other, hence we were always forced together by our parents when we were young. When I was younger, I was kind of a loser. I would trip on invisible banana peels, wet my diapers, cry fountains and loads more. But Byakuran always acted like a big brother to me. He always took care of me whenever I fell or wet my diapers and when I got bullied as well. We were thick as thieves when we were young. Eventually, the admiration had somewhere along the line changed to love as I got older, hence I confessed. Apparently, he was in love with me all along, so we got together. A few years later, an attack on Byakuran's family happened. The Millefiore massacre, you should have heard of it before, I think. Somehow, after that, Byakuran grew somewhat distant from me. Despite that, I still loved him. I thought that if I got married to him, he would be happy to have a family again. Hence, when he proposed to me, I immediately agreed. I was happy all the way till the wedding night. He told me straight in my face that he wanted to get revenge on the Vongola family through me that was the only reason he got married to me, as he found out that the massacre had links with the Vongola family. Using me, he soon rebuilt the entire Millefiore family with the Vongola's family powers. However hard I tried to get him to love me like it did in the past, it was futile. He hates me. This morning, I finally had enough. I told him I wanted a divorce." Tsuna said in a steady voice while clinging onto Mukuro.

"I love you. I know that saying this while you're currently feeling horrible is a despicable act to get you to love me but, I love you, Tsuna. Love you so much that it hurts…I love you, I love you." Mukuro muttered into Tsuna's ears, muttering the words: I love you, as if they were a chant.

Tsuna's cheeks visibly reddened, but made no move to reject Mukuro as Mukuro leaned in for a kiss.
