Subtly
Yamamoto notices more than most people think he does. Like for instance, he knows that the whole "mafia" thing isn't a game. That one he figured out long before he chose to be Tsuna's Rain Ring Guardian. Yamamoto likes the reactions he gets from pretending it's a game, well except for Tsuna's guilt. Yamamoto is certain that Tsuna would feel even guiltier if he were to quit pretending that "mafia" is just a game, so Gokudera's rants and exasperation is only a bonus.
Yes, Takeshi Yamamoto is dense but he does notice more than people think he does. Right now Yamamoto can't help but notice that Gokudera is as in love with Tsuna as he is. He also has noticed that Haru has become fonder of Kyoko than Tsuna. That neither Tsuna nor Kyoko are ready to fall in love and that is why they pretending they are dating and in love with each other. That Gokudera needs to be distracted before he does something that Tsuna isn't ready for. That maybe Yamamoto should convince Gokudera to distract him before he does something Tsuna isn't ready for. That maybe when Kyoko is ready to fall in love with Haru, then Tsuna might be ready to fall in love with Yamamoto and Gokudera. Until then, Yamamoto feels that it's his job to watch out for those things that are so obvious that no one notices it. For now Yamamoto will let Tsuna take care of the obvious things while he'll take care of the more subtle things.
