It's my fault this time. I'm going to apologize if this fic doesn't make sense. If was written at different times. Different times reflects different thoughts. These were my reoccuring thoughts during the changes in time. Once again, I apologize for the lack of sensical judgment in this fic at all costs.
To my reviewers. I am truly happy to the extent...of...T.T Thank you so much~
Life is hard when you've got tons of work piling on top of you. I'm sorry if this update had not lived up to its expectations. I didn't have the will to write. My plot bunnies were pestering me, so I had to write something. Or it would have been an overload. asdfjkl;
Well, without further ado, please enjoy~
Warning: A-authoress will not-not... //slops dead//
Pairing: Um...a bit of 1827 at the end, but nothing serious. Also a bit of 5927 as well.
I don't quite remember how it all started. It just zoomed past like a car—almost. But then again, I couldn't quite tell…because it was all too vague for me. I don't remember how it ended either. I think it may have ended in tragedy. But then again, how would I have a clue if I don't remember a thing about it?
I remember I bowed my head in shame. It was a hot day, I think. I don't remember the details.
I-I don't know how it came to be about. All I remember was that—face.
Face.
Just who was that?
Hello? Who are you?
D-do you know me? Do I know you?
There were no answers for my never-ending questions.
He didn't say anything.
Wait.
Who's he?
What…is this all about?
How did it all start?
Tsuna looked towards the pink petals of the cherry blossom trees. It was that time of year again. Of course, he had always admired things such as cherry blossoms. It seemed that everything had a wonderful time save for him. Why was it that it was only him that had to suffer from the consequences of being born to this wretched world? He didn't like the world. Not one bit.
But he has to put up with it one way or another.
"Tenth!"
Tsuna heard Gokudera calling out to him, his face full of happiness. I wonder what happened? Nevertheless, Tsuna kept on that fake smile and waved back at the silver-haired self-proclaimed right-hand man. "Gokudera-kun!"
Gokudera ran up to the brown-haired tenth generation mafia boss and grinned. "Guess what, tenth?" He paused, catching his breath after he ran over that long distance. "Today is…someone's birthday."
Tsuna watched observantly at Gokudera's expression, but didn't say anything about his comment. Birthday? Who's birthday? I don't know anyone's birthday…
Still, Gokudera pressed on, he smiled as he kept on talking about that special someone's birthday. His toothy grin showed up every few second, his face tinted with the slight shade of red.
But…Tsuna was not listening. His mind was not on the situation at hand. His mind was elsewhere. That elsewhere when…he had first encountered with him. Who was he? What did he want? There was something different about the world around him…and he suspects that it was him causing Tsuna to see such things. But…a better question would be…why? Why would he want Tsuna to see something such as this? It's not as if Tsuna actually did want to see…or rather—did he?
Tsuna pondered away, lost in his thoughts and never actually noticed the worried look that was spreading upon Gokudera's face.
"Tenth! Is something wrong?"
Tsuna snapped out of his thought, the voice breaking the walls of his delicate thought barrier. "Eh? Gokudera-kun? Hm, nothing is wrong, Gokudera-kun."
But this didn't really persuade Gokudera—but he decided to put it somewhere in the back of his head just in case something popped up. Or rather, someone popped out, in, around, what ever.
"Eh, tenth! I'll be seeing you, then."
Tsuna had barely the time to say goodbye when the boy had already left. Shaking his head, he kept on walking, thought his destination was unknown.
Where was he walking?
Wherever this sky elapses, I'll follow wherever this road leads me to.
Tsuna remembers setting his foot into one of the deserted roads in which no one ever goes through. He remembers that he had accidentally stumbled across this road a few days ago…
Compared to yesterday, tomorrow seem further away. But, I'll wait for you at that promised place.
Wasn't it just yesterday that he went by this path? Where was he going? Where will he end up? Where were his legs taking him?
I can't do much by myself, but I still want to protect you.
Who is it that led him here? What was that unseen force in which propelled him here? What had happened to his sense of…
…safety? Where had it gone?
For you, all for you.
For who? Who are…who is…
The thought of becoming strong is what propel me and gives me strength
He was the tenth boss, was he not? Reborn was always pestering him to become stronger. Who does he want to protect? His friends. He would risk his life for his friends…
I can't do much by myself, but we still have to need to protect everyone.
His friends were the most important to him—and his parents.
The desire for more strength is what channels all of our powers
He wanted to be stronger so he could see less people getting hurt. So he uses that will—
There were days that tears of loneliness spilled and tears of regret could not be held back
--he had to cry, sometimes. He just could not keep everything in. It would kill him—
From the me in which I saw in the mirror the other day, the Promised Land still holds in my heart
--but he would learn from his mistakes. He wasn't blind. He would carry on.
One step at a time, we move forward. The hardships of this journey still awaits
And he would still keep on walking until he fell—only to get up again.
If we band together and support each other, we'll give our friends happiness
He would walk as far and as long as he need to—just so he could maintain a smile on everyone's faces. And that's about all he needs—for now.
One step at a time, we move forward. And even though we've been knocked down, we'll still stand up
Gotten up—just after falling is his only priority now. With each stumbling step…
Whatever we cannot see with our eyes, I'll keep on protecting you with love
He knew he was keeping his friends in the dark about his mafia business, but he will still protect his loved one despite everything. Because he cares for them.
From this heart, I thank you
I am glad for all the things you've done up till now.
I believe that the day will come as long as there is a dream within this heart, our journey will continue
I will follow what I believe in—and it's what you've taught me up till now. I will work my way up the ladder.
Lift your hands and you will see that even if we're separated, we're linked hand-in-hand
We will never separate…because this strange string of fate—that intertwines, somehow connects us all.
In the glowing smile I want to protect, what shine is really you—that's right, family.
You are what make me who I am today…
I and grateful for all that you have done. And I will still be grateful—no matter where I or you are. Because truly, that light leading me—is you.
"Tenth!"
Tsuna looked back at Gokudera, who had came back again. "Hello again, Gokudera-kun." This time, the smile was real. And it was not fake, but the rarest of smiles—
--that he could ever give.
"I'm so glad that you are okay."
Had he noticed?
"No."
There was no answer from the open, vast space in front of him. But instead, someone was behind him.
"School is ending. Leave."
Tsuna spun around and meet the grumpy face of Hibari Kyouya. "Hibari-san."
Smile.
Hibari took his time and wrapped his arms around the little boy standing in front of him. "Go."
Tsuna smiled, his eyes twinkled. "I know."
Hop. Hop.
"Hibari-san?"
Hop. Hop.
"Hm?"
Smile.
"This will last, ne?"
Smile.
"Yes."
Once upon a dream…there were two lovers…one named Tsunayoshi and the other, Kyouya.
And…they lived happily ever after.
"Kyouya?"
"Yes?"
"Could you read me that story one more time?"
"No."
Smile.
"But…"
Once upon a dream, there were two friends. One was named Tsuna, and the other, Hibari.
And…
They all lived happily ever after.
"Hm…"
"Night, Tsunayoshi."
"Hmm…"
Zzzz…
Once upon a dream…there were two animals…a fish and a bird…
Once upon a dream…there were two…
"I love you."
I know.
Once upon a dream…
There were…
You.
Once upon a dream…
…and they lived happily ever after.
Once upon…
…a dream.
