~Amber and Sapphire~
It was such a peaceful morning a nice warm bed and the room temperature was just right. Only an idiot would want to leave this bed. Two bodies cuddled up with one another as the clock ticked through the seconds. They were comfortable enough with one another to even realize their positions, but who really cares?
A peaceful smile crept up on the smaller one's face as he dreamt of wonderful things, whilehe laid on top of the other comfortably, occasionally mumbling in his sleep all the while. The blond secured the boy with both arms wrapped around the waist; he held him firmly yet he held him gentle enough to not crush the brunette. And only an idiot would definitely want to leave this bed. And Giotto was smart, not an idiot.
The sheets shuffled a little when the boy stirred in his sleep, a sign that he was about to awake. Almost right away, Giotto let his arms slip off the other's waist and peeked at the boy who was currently in a sitting position. And it didn't seem to bother the boy that he was sitting on him.
"Good morning." Tsuna mumbled as he sleepily rubbed his eyes beforeyawning. And he looked so goddamn cute to Giotto. He was like a cute baby bunny! He just can't help but smile at the boy.
"Good morning Tsunayoshi-kun…" He replied with a soft smile. "Did you sleep well? Did you have any nightmares?" He hoped not and much to his pleasure, the boy shook his head sleepily before lazily falling forward on his older brother's chest. Giotto just chuckled over his cute little brother's actions.
"Get up, it's past 9 A.M." Giotto reminded, as he ruffled the brunette's soft brown locks.
Tsuna sluggishly got up before crawling off of him.
"I d-don't wanna wake up yet…." The younger boy whined and attempted to get out of the bed but the sheets winded up on his foot instead, causing him to end up on the floor with a soft thump. "Ow….." He mumbled quietly, but didn't get up.
"T-Tsunayoshi!" The blond got up right picked up his little brother putting him back on the bed before he started checking for any possible injuries. Tsuna had none besides the red mark on his forehead due to falling down the floor. Giotto almost laughed, his initial panic dispersing upon his sibling's expression. The boy's sleepy face was just so adorable, almost making Giotto want to hug him to death.
And thank god he has no work! He can spend more time with Tsuna instead.

Afterwards, Tsuna was awake enough to make a late breakfast for the both of not without a little frustration especially upon realizing that Giotto saw that side of him…so, so, embarrassing! How lame was he! He had just cried in front of the man, slept with him twice, not that they both minded, and now he witnessed more shameful facts about him. Oh, god…. He could just die.
"OW!" And dame-Tsuna strikes again. 'I'm so stupid! I cut myself.' He stared at the wound before sucking the blood gently. But this didn't go unnoticed by the blond and Giotto immediately stood up to stand beside his little brother.
"Let me see that, Tsunayoshi…" He took the brunette's hand and examined it before the latter could even say another word. "Good, it's not too deep but it's bleeding a lot." He mumbled softly before taking the bleeding finger in his mouth like what his little brother did earlier. Tsuna, now utterly speechless was blushing like mad as he watched his older,(Handsomer, sexier…seme-er—oops.) tallerblonde suck his wound.
'O-oh m-my god!'Tsuna was melting on the spot just then.
"O-onii-chan? Y-You didn't n-need to do that….." He said softly, his face still flushed. The pain was totallyand completely forgotten.
The blond haired man smiled at him. "It's my job to take care of my little brother…" That statement only made Tsuna's face even redder than it already is. 'O-Oh god…..' The boy felt his brain melt into a useless pile of mush as if his brain itself wasn't useless enough already.
Giotto turned off the stove that had been left on during their escapade, to prevent their breakfast from getting burnt. He also reached up to one of the cupboards and grabbed one of the first-aid kits that could be found all over the house.
Tsuna watched his older brother treat his finger and winced occasionally.
"There." Giotto gently lifted his lipsafter he finished treating his little brother's finger. "Be more careful alright? I will not always be by your side to take care of you so you worry me sometimes." He murmured with a concerned smile, while putting the white box his initial intention was to embarrass the younger blond then he was successful because his words only caused the boy to flush to an even deeper shade of red.
"O-okay."The brunette answered with a small quavering tone as he looked away.
Giotto just chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Don't be shy… You know you can count on me." He smiled down at the boy, but unknowinglythat only embarrassed the latter more than he already was.
Tsuna felt like he was going to melt into a useless pile of mush when he heard his brother's next words in such a gentle tone.
"Just say the word and I'm there."

'Tha-…that was unexpected…'Tsuna thought to himself as he stared at his bandaged fingerduring the first few minutes of reminiscing what just happened, only to once again break down to a heavy blush.'I-I g-guess it j-just takes time to get used to this…' He thought before adding, 'Having an older brother…. F-feels nice….' Smiling at his own thoughts, he leaned back on his bed and giggled to himselfas he pulled out a pillow to hug before heaving a soft sigh.
"Onii-chan said he needs to finish a few more papers before we can go out….." The brunette mumbled before turning to his side to stare at the wall-clock. "I wonder how long it will take…." He closed his eyes and sighed before he smiled.
"Oh well, I guess a small nap won't hurt, would it?"
He yawned a bit before letting his eyes close.
These feelings were so foreign but he assumed it was just because of having Giotto come so suddenly in his life. He assumed it was just nothing but normal. And he needed to do was to get used to it. And with those thoughts in mind he slowly drifted off to sleep with a tiny smile on his face.
xXOXx
For Giotto though, he thought of the same thing and shrugged it off. It was normal to treat your brother in such a way right? 'It is definitely normal.' His gaze turned away from his work papers and to the window and sighed. It wasn't that he that he didn't like treating Tsuna that way, he just didn't know how to treat him exactly but then everything he did always turned out right and not that he's complaining about that, he was happy that he could make Tsuna happy but… the way he acted…
They were suddenly like a couple.
Giotto felt his lips twitch up. He can't say he didn't like it or hate it but for now Tsuna's happiness was most important to him. And if Tsuna doesn't mind his treatment then that only means that they feel the same. They were absolutely comfortable with each other at least.
'I guess we just really need each other more than we think.' His smile grew wider and chuckled to himself as he resumed his work.

"Tsunayoshi?" He knocked before entering.
The brunette was asleep with a content expression painted on his face. "Mnh…." His chest was rising up and down in a soft rhythm as his breathing was synced with it. He looked so peaceful that it would be a shame to wake him up at the moment. But looking closely he was much more feminine that others expected, his lashes were long and his lips were pink and plump, his hands were small and delicate and through the fabric of his shorts it was fairly obvious that he had long and slender legs whereas his skin looked to soft and smooth and anyone would be tempted to touch such a treasure.
Giotto could just stare admire his little brother and took note that Tsuna was really frail in looks and in real action. 'Should I wake him up?' He'd really feel bad for ruining the boy's peaceful sleep but he was also sure that Tsuna would be upset if he didn't take him outside like he promised him. 'Well…. Here goes nothing.' He cleared his throat before walking towards Tsuna's sleeping form then he reached out to shake him a bit. "Tsunayoshi, wake up….It's time to get up..."
"H-hmmnn?" The young Sawada fluttered his eyes open and scrunched up his eyes a little from the light's brightness. "G-Giotto-nii?" He yawned and slowly pushed his body up. "Are you finished with your work yet?" Tsuna asked in a sleepy tone and rubbed his eyes sleepily before stretching out his arms.
The older blond just smiled and nodded. "Yes, are you ready to go out now?" His smile grew even wider when he saw Tsuna grin and nod eagerly.
"O-onii-chan can wait for me downstairs! I'll just change my clothes….."
Tsuna jumped off his bed and went through all his drawers and wardrobes while Giotto just chuckled and headed out downstairs for wait for him and checked on the time when he walked pass a wall clock. "Hmm…. Its 1:32…. still early." He smiled to himself and thought of places to take Tsuna to. He went back to his room and opened his bedside drawer and searched for something. 'Ah, here it is.' He picked up a metal wristwatch and put it on his right wrist. 'I'll need this to keep track of the time.' He thought while closing the drawer and head out to the living room.
"Ah! There you are onii-chan!" Tsuna was already sitting on the couch, clearly waiting for him. He was wearing a hooded orange shirt and military shorts. It made him look cute because his shirt looked like it was too big for him and as well as the shorts, if it weren't for the belt he was wearing it would actually look like it would slip off any time.
Giotto blinked then smiled apologetically at Tsuna. "Sorry Tsunayoshi… I forgot nearly something so I had to get it."
The brunette just shook his head and smiled brightly. "It's okay!" He stood up and grabbed his older brother by the wrist and pulled him towards the door. "Come on~!" He giggled and pulled on Giotto excitedly.
He laughed a bit seeing his little brother's excitement. "Yes, slow down." He chuckled and walked on the same pace as him. "Or you might trip again." He added teasingly and grinned when he saw the boy pout angrily at him.
"M-Mou….. t-that's so mean Giotto-nii…." He tried to glare but it came out as a pout instead. He let go of Giotto's wrist and walked ahead. "I'm not gonna tri—H-HIEE!" He stumbled over a small rock and fell forward and hit the ground with a thump. "O-….ow….." He cried inside his mind. 'T-this is just so embarrassing….!' He mentally slapped himself.
Giotto panicked and helped him stand up. "Are you okay?" Certainly he didn't mean for that to happen. 'I guess he's just naturally clumsy.' He thought and sighed in relief when he saw that Tsuna wasn't injured. "You got me worried there." He patted Tsuna on the head.
The brunette had a pouty and teary expression on and didn't say anything and dusted himself from the fall.
"Ah, don't worry about it Tsunayoshi…." He said and tried to cheer up the boy. "Come on now, I thought you wanted to spend the day with me?" He frowned.
Tsuna flinched and mumbled. "I-I'm s-sorry onii-chan b-but… t-that was just r-really embarrassing…." He really wanted to spend time with Giotto but of course he just keeps on embarrassing himself in front of the older male that he ends up being too self conscious at the moment—or always. Though he never tries to think about it, his natural demeanor is the only thing that he'd definitely hate to show his older brother, when he does something stupid or embarrassing in front of Giotto his mind would always, always think of the statement, who would want a clumsy idiot as a brother?
'Ah…' "No, it's alright. You shouldn't be embarrassed about it and I'm your brother after all so I won't make fun of you." He chuckled and ruffles his soft brown fur-like hair. "I was just teasing earlier don't mind it."
"O-okay….. U-uhm… e-eerrmm…. L-lets go?" He mumbled meekly.
Giotto nodded and smiled. "Would you prefer to walk there or should I take the car? It's pretty close though." He offered and waited for an answer.
"Walking sounds fun." He answered. "It's okay with me a-and I wouldn't want you to waste your car gas."
"Alright, then let's go." Though the gas was really no big deal for Giotto but he did also want a nice relaxing walk. He felt very excited and his feet can't seem to wait also, it had been a while since he's been able to relax but still he can't help but find it very odd, usually when he gets excited it's just him but today was really different, and in fact he's been feeling very different lately. 'Oh well.' He decided to shrug it off. It was probably because he was sure he didn't have any more work to do now and afterwards.
"Onii-chan what's that place?" Tsuna tugged on his sleeve and pointed at the place he was referring to.
The blond stared before answering hastily. "It's an old abandoned amusement park very weird people go there so, Tsunayoshi you must never go there got it? It's very dangerous." By the tone of it Giotto sounded very serious.
"O-okay." He replied meekly. 'It looks as s-scary as it s-sounds…..' He looked back at the abandoned amusement and shuddered from the eerie aura the place was giving off. No way would he ever go there anyway, unless it's a pet shop. 'I l-like bunnies…t-they're cute.' He thought cutely. "Ah! W-wait up onii-chan!" He speeded up a bit when he noticed that Giotto was getting a bit farther from him.
"Oh? Do I walk too fast for you?" Giotto asked with an apologetic smile. "Sorry, it's just one of my bad habits; even though I'm supposed to relax I still let my usual work attitude get the best of me." He chuckled and held Tsuna's wrist. "This should be better."
"U-umh okay!" The brunette blushed a bit. 'I-Is this okay?' Then he mentally slapped himself once again. 'O-Of course i-it is! He's my b-brother after all.' He still can help it and blushed more. 'H-hiee!' He bit his lower lip and tried to forget about it.
xXOXx
"Uwwaaahh~! So pretty!" Tsuna exclaimed when he caught glimpse of the ocean.
Giotto just can't help but smile at the lovely sight of his little brother and the ocean, the picture was worthy of millions in his eyes. "Wonderful isn't it?" He chuckled when Tsuna ignored his question and just took off to the shore and left his shoes behind to where Giotto was standing, then played with the water by splashing around with his feet. 'He gets really excited at the simplest of things….. At least he's happy….' He thought it was adorable actually. 'Like a kid, he still needs to experience much more than this.' His smile widened and bent over to pick up Tsuna's shoes and followed after him. "Don't go too far."
"Okay!" Then he got another idea and went out of the water. "It's been sooo long!" He kneeled and played with the sand a bit, obviously trying to make a sand castle. He patted at the lump of sand with the intention of making it a bit stiffer so that it could stand. "Look onii-chan! I made a sand castle!" He grinned and presented it to Giotto happily, though it collapsed a few seconds later. "O-oh… u-uhm… h-ha-haha?" He laughed bashfully with a light shade of pink dusted on his cheeks.
The blond smiled while looking over the lump of sand. "It's alright….. Next time maybe I'll help you with making it." He patted Tsuna's head. "Though right now we should go, there are many other things you still need to see." He extended his hand to the latter as he spoke in such a kind and caring voice. "Let's go?"
Tsuna smiled and took the hand and let Giotto haul him up. "Okay! I'll clean my feet first~" He took his shoes from Giotto's hand and ran to the public restroom to rinse his sandy feet. "Hm….. Should I put on my shoes right away….? My feet are still wet." He mumbled out loud. "It might feel uncomfortable." He looked around and spotted some paper towels. "Ah!" He reached out and grabbed a few pieces and used the convenient sheets of paper towels to dry his feet with. "That's better."He smiled and immediately put on his shoes and trotted his way back to the blond but stopped when his eye caught glimpse of blond hair and it wasn't Giotto's.
Giotto was talking with a girl. A girl that he didn't know and she looked very pretty. 'They make really good couple…..' He felt twisted uncomfortably and he felt a bit sick, so sick. He couldn't understand why, isn't he supposed to feel good or happy for his brother? 'W-weird…. M-maybe it's because of the heat or something…O-or maybe j-just nervousness?'
"Tsunayoshi! Come here I want you to meet someone!" The blond called out.
Tsuna gulped and forced his feet to move forward, he felt his heart's beating go even faster and it was almost painful, no, it was painful, though he had no idea why it was like that. "C-Coming!" He squeaked out and moved faster and forced a smile on his lips.
For now he decided to ignore it.
'It's p-probably nothing.'
... WELL~? Is it any good?
