A/N: -dodges readers' grenades- Nuuuu….! I apologize for the late updates. T_T As I've said in my profile, I'm in my senior year so life's a bitch, peoples! I'm currently squished by the home works and reference books…and I'm trying to juggle my time between school, tuitions, revisions, homework, Wattpad, Fan fiction and stuffs…so my timetable is PACKED okay, P-A-C-K-E-D! And then, here comes the Lord of all Evil—THE AUTHOR'S BLOCK! I was actually crying, because I'm frustrated I lost all my ideas for this story and I can't write a single word. All I do was to stare at the blank screen.


Both of them sat in silence. They were in the dining room. Reborn was sitting in front of the brunet, his arms folded together. His lips were set in a thin line, which indicated that he was angry. Hell yeah, the brunet actually had the guts to cut his favorite suit—the suit which he used for important meetings. And it cost not three zeros, but four fucking zeros!

Tsuna swallowed, looking down.

He did not dare to lift his head to meet with Reborn's dark eyes that seemed to penetrate through his heart. In a romantic and scary way but in this case, scary it is. Colonnello arched an eyebrow. He was wiping the dishes clean when Reborn stomped downstairs with a scared Tsuna. The blonde decided not to interfere. He whistled away into the kitchen, giving Reborn and Tsuna space to talk.

"Why did you do it," Reborn said suddenly. Tsuna flinched. "Why did you cut my suit with that pair of scissors? Why?"

Tsuna bit his lips. It was now or never. He took a deep breath and mustered up all the courage to look at Reborn. He felt himself trembling but that was not the point now. His eyes looked everywhere except Reborn's eyes.

"I-I don't like you."

The man's eyes widened slightly at that direct reason. "You don't like me so you destroyed one of my most prized possessions?" he asked, a little amused. Tsuna nodded.

"I hate you. I-I don't like when you get all close with me. I don't like when you treat me nicely. I-I…I just hate you," Tsuna said quietly, but loud enough for Reborn to hear. "You were mean to me in high school. Now, you're all protective and stuff. Please…please stop it."

"Why?"

The brunet licked his lips.

Say it, Tsuna, say it! Admit that you're scared of falling for the guy who you swore to hate! He tried to look at Reborn and was slightly annoyed when the man's eyes twinkled with amusement and curiosity.

"Why must I stop doing all the things you stated?" Reborn asked again, his lips curling up.

"U-Um…" Say it! No, I can't…but I have to say it! Why do I feel like something tying my tongue? "N-No reason, j-just stop…"

Reborn leaned forward. "Are you afraid of falling in love with me?" he asked, half teasing. His anger was fading away, but it was still there. Tsuna flinched. Bingo, he thought. Does Reborn have some kind of mind-reading ability? The brunet grabbed the hem of his own shirt.

"I-I will never fall in love with you no matter what, Reborn! You're an idiot, lunatic, psycho, sadist, heartless, filthy and…and…" Tsuna's voice trailed away as he tried to come up with something else. Reborn smirked.

"And…?" he prompted.

"And…and…you're a bastard." Tsuna said finally. Reborn chortled.

"Is that the best you could say?"

Tsuna groaned in frustration. "So basically, you hate me because I'm an idiot, lunatic, psycho, sadist, heartless, filthy and a bastard so you destroyed my suit, hmm?" Reborn asked. "How very…amusing," He concluded, lying back on the dining chair.

Tsuna did not say anything. He bit back the urge to snap at the man in front of him. Colonnello appeared from the kitchen, placing two plates of desserts on the table.

"I guess you two had cooled down? Have some cake," he said, smiling. Tsuna smiled back at Colonnello, grateful that the blonde had saved him…somehow. Reborn stared at Colonnello. He did not like the way that the blonde was smiling at Tsuna. His Tsuna. Colonnello was known for being a playboy in his high school days. Recently, the blonde had just admitted to Reborn he likes Lambo.

"So why the fuck are you staring at him?" Reborn muttered, glaring at the two who were laughing at each other.


Reborn's cell phone vibrated and he fished it out from his pocket. He stared at the caller ID then glanced at Tsuna who was playing with his phone on the bed. The man walked out from the room and all the way to the lawn. Only then he answered. It was strange that the phone could actually vibrate that long, considering that Reborn's house was majestic.

"I thought you've died," Reborn said once he answered.

"Died? Not so easy. Before I get back him, kill your hope of seeing my corpse." The man on the other line snapped.

"Sure thing, but I cannot promise you this thing," Reborn said, his voice hushed because he was just standing below his room's balcony. He was sitting on a lazy chair nearby the swimming pool. "I cannot promise you that I can give back his heart which I had already taken."

The other man was silent. Reborn continued.

"And I have been wondering this one thing. Why did you accept Nono's deal when you don't have that much in your account?" Reborn asked. He was not curious; he was just amused by the way this man works. He was not afraid of taking risks.

"I'd do anything even if I have nothing to get him back to me," the man said. "It is better than you; who do nothing although you have everything."

It was Reborn's turn to stay silent. He was willing to do anything to get back his boyfriend although he had nothing. Suddenly he felt like a jerk for pulling them apart. But in this game, one of them has to step back and get hurt. Reborn's pride was too high to be the one that steps back. He wanted to win.

He'll do anything to push the third party out.

"You realized you've done a stupid mistake, didn't you?" he said quietly. "I bet you're regretting."

The man laughed darkly. "I know better than you, herbivore. I know if I don't accept that old man's proposal, I'll be stepped on. If I accepted it, at least he told me something I have never known." He said.

"That Tsuna was a rich kid?"

"I don't mind that. What I know is my heart had grown fond of him. I wanted him by my side." Hibari admitted. There was nothing to hide from Reborn. If that man wanted to play this triangle game, then he is in. But he will make sure he wins.

"After all those times you raped him?"

"It was not rape," he snapped. "It was called 'make love'."

"Making love without love." Reborn retorted. He could imagine the skylark rolling his eyes. He smirked a little. "Isn't it?"

"This is getting nowhere. Listen, I'm calling you just to tell you that I am alive. Do not tell anyone about this. This is our game and you'd better let Tsunayoshi stay out of this. And one more thing, I'm using public phone so don't bother saving it."

"But it has your name on it."

"Forget it. I'm dumping my card into the lake. Get ready to be bitten to death when I come back." Hibari said, hanging up. Reborn's eyebrows furrowed. Lake…? Why on Earth would Hibari Kyouya be at the lake?

Where is he?

The man shook his head. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and turned around. His eyes widened a little when he saw Colonnello standing there, hands in pocket and leaning against the wall. He quickly returned back to his cool self.

"Were you eavesdropping?" Reborn asked angrily. Colonnello chuckled.

"Sorry, but Tsuna asked me to look for you," the blonde said. He stared at Reborn. "Was that Tsuna's boyfriend?"

"Ex-boyfriend," Reborn corrected him. "They broke up."

"You're really cruel Reborn." the blonde said.

"And why am I accused of that?"

"You played around. I know I have done it too, but it's not fair to the hearts you are breaking. For an example, Lambo," Colonnello said quietly. "I believe he's very sad that you've chosen Tsuna instead of him. He stayed with you throughout these years and I really admired his loyalty. Not once he gave in when I flirted with him. And then there's Tsuna. I doubt he had any feelings for you, Reborn. He might like you but he doesn't love you like how he loved his boy—ex-boyfriend." Colonnello nagged.

Reborn's eyes turned dark and calculative.

"And of all people, why him Reborn?" the blonde asked, curious.

"There is no reason for liking someone, Col," Reborn said, shoving out of his way as he walked back into the house. Colonnello shook his head.

"Three can play the game, Reborn, but only two will win. The one who will have their heart broken is going to be you." he called out. Reborn ignored him and walked into the house. The blonde scratched his head again. Then he walked into the house through the back door. He liked the back door more.

Weird guy.


Tsuna looked up just when Reborn walked in. He sat on the bed, staring as the man walked towards the wardrobe.

"Are we cool, Reborn?" he asked suddenly.

He was aiming for Reborn to hate him, so why the hell is he worrying about Reborn?

Reborn did not say anything. He was confused and angry now. He was in no mood to talk. The man took out the outfit for tomorrow and hung them. Then he removed his watch and lied on the mattress on the floor, closing his eyes. Soon, his gentle snores could be heard.

The brunet bit his lips.

Reborn is still mad at me, he thought. But that's good; at least he wouldn't treat me nice anymore. I won't be guilty to Hibari-san now…But what was that little pinch of pain he felt when Reborn ignored him? Did he really want this? His eyes started to water. It was his choice. He sighed. Why was thing so complicated? Why didn't he ask Hibari if that girl was really his fiancée? Why?

Tired of thinking, he finally fell asleep on the king sized bed. Reborn opened his eyes when he heard silence. He sat up slowly and saw Tsuna sleeping. He stared at the brunet before sighing, frustrated. He threw away his covers and walked downstairs to get himself drunk.

Drunk to forget everything—at least for tonight.


A/N: So this chapter is all about Reborn and Tsuna. No Enma, no Nono, no Mukuro and stuffs. Depressing chapter, I shall say, or maybe just a filler lol. And then there's something. I know many of you voted R27 for this story, so I shall give you more, but as we moved into the finishing chapters, you will start to get more 1827. So yeah, that's the sign that the story is ending. :P If you have read this, make a sentence with "chocolates" in your review.
