64 Reasons I Love You
Prompt: Fruity
Pairing: 1827
Time: Tsuna's 3rd Year of Highschool
When Kyoya arrives in Namimori after two months in Italy training, he doesn't expect to find so many people waiting for him. Especially since some of them have made it clear they don't like him.
Gokudera is looking as angry as always as he mutters a soft, "'Bout time you got here." Yamamoto is laughing as he apologizes for the Storm Guardian before giving him a hug – much to the Cloud's displeasure. Neither boy has ever been practically close to Kyoya, but they are close to Tsuna and that's undoubtfully why they're here.
Nana and the kids get to him next and he doesn't mind the way they hug him. In the year he' stayed with them after his parents kicked him out and he had left for his training, Kyoya had grown fond of all of them and their hugs are full of warmth and love – the kind of touch he always wanted from his real family.
The girls linger behind them with Bianchi. Both of them give him a smile and a soft 'welcome back'. Even if they have never really bonded, they all love Tsuna and Kyoya is what's best for Tsuna.
Ryohei and Chrome approach him next - ever since accepting his role in the family back in Middle School he'd grown the closest to them as far as Guardians go. Ryohei pats him on the back – having grown to respect Kyoya need for space since graduating from Middle school – and proclaims with a smile that he'll be leaving with Kyoya this time so they'd better make the most of their time. Chrome gives him that shy, nervous, smile of hers as she explains that Mukuro has pulled another one of his disappearing acts so she's sleeping in his room but she can room with I-Pin if he wants. He tells her that it's fine if she keeps the room, he'll just stay with Tsuna. He doesn't, however, mention that he's not ecstatic about the lack of Mukuro.
And finally, finally, Tsuna is back in his arms. No matter how nice Italy is, it can't compare to the feeling he gets when Tsuna is near. Neither of them say anything for a while, but than Tsuna's lips are moving against his neck where his head is buried, "You smell like strawberries." And it's so odd and probably true because strawberries are Dino's favorite fruit and he's stocked his bathroom with bottles of strawberry shampoo for Kyoya to use when he runs out of his own Lemon Citrus Shampoo that all Kyoya can do it laugh.

E/n: So first off, a huge thanks to Seireeii who has given me some of the best reviews the last few chapters – especially last chapter and even though I've already thanked you at least ten times I wanted to thank you again (is it getting creepy yet?)
So, I made Kyoya, Ryohei, and Chrome close because I do think Ryohei and Kyoya are close (it's showed in the Future Arc) and I think Chrome would instantly gravitate towards Kyoya. Even if I don't like the 1896 pairing, I get where it comes from and likes it as a friendship dynamic.
I tried a new writing style in this one. I don't write in present tense much but I wanted to try it at least once in this story.
