Hello my lovely readers. I didn't really get a lot of reviews on this, but it doesn't bother me too much. And thanks to my two reviews from the last chapter. Since they wanted me to continue, I guess I will. Not that I have a choice when I started this. Oh well. Here's the new updated chapter. Please enjoy.

Chapter 2: Reawaking and Awareness

Tsuna shivers when a cold winter air passes his neck. Tsuna frowns as he recollected his memories of this morning when he was getting ready for school. Normally he suspects the baby to wake him by some sort of torturous way, like the time he shocked him awake. And what a nightmare that was. Instead, the Acrobaleno was up and ready, staring out of the window thoughtfully. Tsuna asked him if something was wrong, but he only talked in riddles. The one he clearly remembers was 'history can repeat itself'. Of course, Tsuna didn't take it too serious since he already got his history teacher on his case about not doing anything right. It was all a pain in the neck.

"Yo, Tsuna!"

Tsuna turned around to see Yamamoto rushing towards him. He blushes. He can remember how Yamamoto almost, possibly, confesses to him. Pretending that it didn't happened, Tsuna smiled at his friend.

"Good morning Yamamoto-kun." Tsuna greeted.

"Morning Tsuna." He greeted back cheerfully.

They continued their way to school without uttering a word to one another. There was a small tension lingering them, forcing this situation into something more straining and awkward. Can't there be anything to put an end to this torture?

"Tenth!"

Almost on time too. Gokudera rushes towards the two other males. He stops right in front of Tsuna as he tries to regain his composure and breath. When he did, he greeted the brunet with his cheerful behavior and groans when he saw Yamamoto next to him. They resume walking to their school's direction. It was more at ease instead of the tense atmosphere Yamamoto and Tsuna had to deal with not too long ago. Conversation to the next made them feel like how it was before. The fun days as they remembered it when they can laugh together till their hearts content.

"So Tenth, what do you think of the assignment the idiotic teacher gave us?"

"Oh the assignment. Well, I think it's fine. I like the story."

"I'm not really into those type of things. But if it was about the Mafia, we would've ace this." He said cheerfully as he gave it thumbs up.

"I don't think your assignment is that hard. But I'm happy that he assigned me the baseball article." Yamamoto laughs.

"Who asked you baseball freak?" Gokudera only growled.

Tsuna smiled awkwardly as he watch his two best friends having a small argument. Well Gokudera is the one yelling at Yamamoto so he can't really say that they are. This continued on till they made it in time for their class. The teacher was running a bit late so everyone got free time for a while. Even Ryohei came by to ask if Tsuna could join the boxing club. Of course, Tsuna refused since he wasn't made for that type of sport.

"Sorry that I'm late everyone."

Everyone returned to his or her original seats as the teacher prepare for today's lesson. Tsuna sighed as he already knew how it all going to end. Tsuna stared out of the window as the teacher began to row call. Tsuna's eyes widen when he remembered what Reborn said to him earlier. 'History can repeat itself'. What does he mean when he says that? Could it be involved with the future? Or having to fight old or new enemies? Tsuna ruffles his hair in distress. How can he figure it out if it doesn't make any sense?

"Is there anything you like to share Sawada?" He heard an angry voice.

Tsuna stared up as he saw his teacher glaring down on him. And it took a few minutes to cause trouble with the teacher already.

"If you find my lessons so boring, why don't you stay after during detention to study?"

Tsuna frowns sadly. Just great. This is what he gets for trying to figure out something that could possibly tell his future, but no, instead he has to get detention. It feels like Reborn might have planned this out the whole time. He nods nevertheless. The teacher huff before he continued on with the lesson. Behind him, he could feel someone staring at him. It wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't comfortable to say the least. He trailed his eyes across the room and saw that Yamamoto was staring at him intensely. Panicking, he looked back at the board and tried to ignore any unwanted trouble or attention for the baseball idol.

School ended as how Tsuna suspected. He did terrible in class, failed a few tests and quiz, and did horrible at gym. He sighed in exhaustion. Now there's the detention he has to go to. Gokudera asked if he wanted him to stay, but Tsuna refused since the bomber must be busy. And the fact that he might destroy the school. Tsuna rush towards the classroom so he wouldn't be late. As he opened the door, he noticed that the teacher wasn't there. Somewhat, Tsuna was relieved. He went and sat down at his desk and wait till the teacher shows up or till time was up.

"Why does this always happen to me?" He asked himself, not expecting an answer.

The whole time Tsuna just sat there bored out of his mind. He finally left when he thought it was time to. Plus the teacher wasn't going to show up either way. Tsuna went to his locker in order to retrieve his shoes and bag. He sighed at how this day turned out over his thinking about what Reborn said.

"Tsuna?"

Tsuna looked up to see Yamamoto beside him.

"Yamamoto-kun, what are you doing here?" He asked in surprise.

"I just finished baseball practice."

"Oh."

Tsuna rushed to change his shoes and grab his paperwork so he could finish them later. He walked away as soon as he was done with everything.

"Wait Tsuna!" Yamamoto called out to the other boy.

But Tsuna didn't listen. Yamamoto ran to Tsuna and took hold of the brunet's wrist. Tsuna's eyes widen as he was forced to face the baseball idol. Yamamoto stared directly at Tsuna's chocolate brown eyes desperately. Tsuna could hear his heart beating rapidly. Yamamoto said his name in s hush voice, which made the brunet's heart leap out of his chest.

"Before, I wanted to tell you that I…"

"Yamamoto-kun?"

Yamamoto continued on staring into his eyes. A red blush creaked up on Tsuna's face. Was he going to confess like he did before? He noticed the small amount of space between him and Yamamoto. Drawing closer bit-by-bit, Tsuna's eyes drifted down. His heart became louder every time it beats.

"Tsuna, I really…"

"Takeshi!"

Takeshi? Tsuna pulled away from Yamamoto sadly as he saw the taller male's father running towards them. Still have his hand in Yamamoto's grip, Tsuna pulled his hand away and ran off home. He felt so embarrassed. For him to be in that type of situation with his best friend was embarrassing beyond words.

Yamamoto only watched Tsuna run off in shock. He frowns sadly. Just his luck. He looked back at his father as he stared at his only son. He smiled so that his father doesn't suspect anything.

"Hey dad. What are you doing here?" He asked cheerfully.

"Oh, I saw you when I was making a delivery. So I thought I drive you home. That's when I saw your friend."

"You mean Tsuna? Don't worry, he's probably home by now."

"I see. Then we better get going too. The sushi isn't going to delivery itself." His father joked.

Yamamoto laughed with him half-heartedly. His mind was on the brunet. If only he said it a bit quicker. Maybe then, this wouldn't have happened. He sighed to himself. That's when Reborn's words got to him. Emotions are not need in the Mafia.

"Tsuna."

OXO

Tsuna ran in his room, ignoring everything around him. He dropped his school bag on the floor and fell down on his bed. Tsuna covered his face with his pillow, trying to forget about what happened between him and Yamamoto. How can he have feeling for his best friend? Well he is very popular with the girls and great at a lot of sport than he is. But they're both guys and close friends. That's about it. Nothing more and nothing less. He pulled the pillow closer, more than it's suppose to.

And how can he forget about his heart beating so fast for the male. He thought he would find his special someone, but he didn't expect now. Why couldn't it be someone else? It's not that he doesn't think Yamamoto is a terrible person to have as a lover. Any girl would be happy to have a great guy like him. It's just that he never thought Yamamoto as a lover before. A good friend, that's it. Now, he is panicking over his friend trying to confess to him. What is he suppose to do?

"Tell him you don't feel the same way."

Yeah. That's a good idea. That way they can still be friends and Yamamoto can move on. Plus he can be with those other girls that like him a lot. Tsuna froze for a second. He removes his pillow from his face to see Reborn sitting on a leather chair drinking coffee. Tsuna automatically sat up.

"You knew all this time?" Tsuna shouted.

"It was obvious. You're slow for not knowing all those time."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"What if I did? Then what would you do? Run away like you always do?" Reborn question harshly.

"Well I…"

"Exactly. With that type of response, you would've hurt Yamamoto's feeling and cause problems in the Family. That's why emotions are not needed in the Mafia."

Tsuna stared in shock. Was that really what the Mafia is like? Emotions are not need? How can they say something like that? Emotions aren't something we can't just get rid of.

"Did you say this to Yamamoto-kun?"

"I did, but I seems like he didn't listen. If he gets hurt from this, don't blame me."

"How can you say something like that to him?" Tsuna shouted.

"You would have rejected him either way." Reborn frowns.

Tsuna gone silent. Reborn stared directly into Tsuna's eyes, showing him that he was serious. Somehow, he was right. Tsuna wasn't really sure how to deal with this sort of situation. Not that he had to deal with this before.

"And weren't you the one that told him that if you loved a guy, it wouldn't matter?"

"How does that have to do with anything?"

"Even though you said that, you reject Yamamoto. Is it the fact that he is a male that makes you think otherwise?"

"No. Yamamoto is my friend. I never thought of him as anything else."

"Then why didn't you stop him from almost kissing you?" Reborn questions.

Tsuna's eyes widen further. Why didn't he? He had a lot of opportunities to do so. But he didn't. Instead, he let it continue on with his heart beating nonstop. Maybe he was too caught up in the moment to do anything. Or he was off guard when Yamamoto did that to him.

"Admit it. You fell in love with Yamamoto."

"I…"

Tsuna fell in love with Yamamoto? In love with Yamamoto? Yamamoto is in love with him for how long? When did he?

"I'm in love with Yamamoto-kun." He admitted.

"Maybe it's best to see how this turns out right Dame-Tsuna?"

Tsuna nods reluctantly.

He's in love with Yamamoto.

OXO
