Sawada Tsunayoshi was... interesting, Takeshi decided as he spotted the shorter brunet running down the street once more, an irritated skylark chasing after him. He wasn't really sure when it started. Perhaps it started when the boy started talking to the infamous skylark, or when he dragged along a redhead who seemed much too nervous. Or was it when the foreign blond joined them? Takeshi wasn't too sure.
Or maybe...he was always interesting? The brunet had never really talked in class, in fact- Takeshi didn't know anything about his classmate at all. Well, except for him being 'Dame-Tsuna' that is.
But seeing him now..was he really Dame?
So many different people drifted to him, and despite all the differences- they all looked like they belonged there. By his side. From the skylark to the newest one- the white-haired boy with the foxy smile.
Takeshi was a simple person, why have complications? It will only make you sad and stressed. He doesn't over think anything, and in this it was the same. While his instincts can tell him things about the brunet, his main thought about him was that...it was nice to have friends. Well actually, it was something more in the lines of 'I would like to be his friend because he is a super cool dude.'
Now don't get him wrong- he had friends. But it was..different. He often wondered if they would still be his friends if he wasn't so good at baseball, but that thought was soon thrown away since it was complicated. But all the expectations were piling up on him, and he felt strained. He loved baseball..yet the bat seemed so heavy in his hands now…
Oh! But back to Tsuna now. Tsuna..it had a much nicer ring than Tsunayoshi.
He's not really sure why he's watching them, the brunet and his group of misfit friends, all he knows is that he wants to join them. They looked happy, and always seemed to be having fun. Takeshi wanted something like that.
And the only solution is...to be Tsuna's friend!
And that was why he was currently running out of the store, grinning at the prospect of gaining a super cool friend.
"Oi! Tsuna!"
Tsuna blinked, panting as he looked back. He had just managed to escape from the skylark's wrath since the boy had to go do something else. Was that..Yamamoto Takeshi?
What did the baseball star want with him?!
"Ah, Yamamoto-san. What's wrong?"
The taller boy grinned, "Nothing. I just saw you there and you seemed to be having fun with Hibari-san. Mind if I join you sometimes?"
The brunet blinked, perplexed. Fun? Running away from a bloodthirsty prefect who was going to beat you into a bloody pulp was fun? That was the first time that Tsuna doubted Yamamoto Takeshi's sanity. And he had seemed so normal too, he thought with desperation.
"You have an interesting definition of fun.."
Yamamoto simply laughs, tilting his head obliviously.
..Or maybe not so obliviously? The baseball player seemed rather strained..strange. Tsuna couldn't explain it- but there was something in the way he smiled, face tense and fists clenched tightly unconsciously. He may not know much about the boy and his circumstances, but he can tell when someone was weary. It was in the way he stood, the flash of tiredness in his eyes, and the slightly slumped shoulders.
Yamamoto Takeshi was slowly breaking.
And all Tsuna could think about was how he was in the past, slowly fading away and tired of the world. It was strange -but no less saddening- that the baseball player would have the exact same thoughts and feelings as Dame-Tsuna.
And then Tsuna thought about his weird friends, how it started with a rather annoyed skylark who hated owing people, a nervous boy with a passion for inventing, another boy who loved robots, and well...he supposed Byakuran would also be in his group, a boy with strange circumstances and a certain darkness in his eyes. Tsuna was planning on fixing that soon though, the white haired boy seemed to be hiding something important…(Then again, he had only joined a few days ago.)
Yamamoto seemed slightly strained, and Tsuna realized that he had kept the boy waiting. "Ah! Sorry about that, I was just thinking." he mumbled sheepishly before smiling brightly. "And of course, you can join us anytime you want to."
Yamamoto lights up and Tsuna couldn't help but feel happy that the baseball player was so happy. "Hahaa..thanks!"
"Ah. I have to warn you though...my friends..are kind of..weird."
"Weird?"
The brunet nods, "They may be weird.. but they're the best friends anyone can have."
Tsuna doesn't know if he can help Yamamoto, but he sure as hell -can- and will try. And the first step was to introduce the taller teen to his crazy friends.
After all, if the brunet can find solace in that crazy bunch- surely the baseball player can do the same?
Tsuna doesn't worry much though, he has a feeling that Yamamoto Takeshi will fit in perfectly.
...Perhaps a little too perfectly.
