This chapter is more about Dino for a change:D

MEMORIES

"Hey there! How's your sleep, sleeping beauty?" the Cavallone joked when he saw his student waking up from his peaceful sleep.

The student, Kyoya, and his tutor, Dino were at the rooftop of Namimori Middle School. Kyoya didn't know that Dino was with him because when Dino got there, he was sleeping. Dino wanted to wake him up because he wanted to tell him something but how can he? If his student was this cute when he's asleep. How could he wake him up if he was this amusing to watch?

'If only he were like this all the time then maybe he'd be less scary and look more approachable' Dino thought. He watched Kyoya sleep and waited until he woke up.

Kyoya, although his eyes were opened, still looked like he was asleep because Dino thought, normally if he'd tell a joke like that to Kyoya, he'd get a hit from one of his tonfas. The tutor leaned closer to his student. When he saw Kyoya' eyes looking at him, he spoke.

"Hey! Are you still asleep?"

When Dino saw Kyoya, he thought that Kyoya looked like he'd seen a ghost or something. Afterwards, his face began to turn red. Dino was a bit confused why his student reacted like this but he forgot about what he was thinking when he saw his student taking out his tonfas and swung it to him. Good thing he was fast enough to dodge it.

"Whoa! Take it easy! *sigh* I knew this would happen" Dino said and smiled at Kyoya.

Kyoya didn't swing his tonfas anymore at Dino. He just stood and headed towards the door going down the rooftop.

"Hey, where are you going, Kyoya?" Dino said but Kyoya ignored him and continued walking to the door.

Before Kyoya could open the door, Dino suddenly grabbed Kyoya's arm.

"Kyoya…why are you avoiding me?"

Kyoya looked at Dino but didn't say anything.

"I noticed that these past few days since we defeated the Varia family, you've been keeping your distance from me. Why? Did I do something wrong?"

There was a moment of silence. Then, Kyoya spoke.

"Hm! I'm not avoiding you, Bronco. So could you let go of my hand?"

Kyoya pulled his arm but instead of being free from Dino's grasp, Dino also pulled Kyoya to him. As a result, Kyoya was like 10-15 centimeters close to Dino. Dino saw that Kyoya wasn't giving up. He kept on squirming around to break free from him. Of course, it would look bad if the student was stronger than the teacher so he made sure that Kyoya wouldn't be able to break he.

"Oh really? Then why is it that when I'm near you, you automatically move away from me? Why is it that recently, you avoid looking at me? I know you don't like crowds but you're usually okay when I'm with you so why all of a sudden you're like this?….and also…" Dino looked at Kyoya closely. The black-haired teenager's face turned red once more.

"It seems that every time I come in contact with you, your face turns red. Why are you suddenly acting like this?"

"Look, it's nothing. Just let me go!" Kyoya said.

"No! I won't let go until you tell me the reason! Got that?"

Dino knows that by now, Kyoya might be getting more and more annoyed with his persistency. Even so, he still wanted to know the reason. But things went bad when Kyoya got a chance to bring out his tonfas again and tried to hit Dino with it. This time, Dino was hit by Kyoya's tonfas but he only got a small injury since he managed to dodge it a little. He got disappointed when Kyoya was able to break free from him.

"I said it's nothing! Why do you want to know that much?" Kyoya said angrily.

There was moment of silence. Dino lowered his head. His bangs covered his eyes.

"Because…Because I…"

Dino wanted to finish what he was saying but he guessed that Kyoya got impatient for his answer when he saw him opening the door and going inside.

"I'm going to the Committee room…" he said coldly.

Before Kyoya could even go inside, Dino finally blurted out what he wanted to say to Kyoya.

"IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"

Dino saw that Kyoya just stood there when he said those words. It looked as though Kyoya didn't know what to do. And then, after a moment, Kyoya turned around and faced him.

"Wh-what did you say?" Kyoya said. His voice was low and soft. He looked like he couldn't believe what his tutor just said to him.

"I said I love you. I realized this some time during our fight with Varia. Even though I thought it's impossible that you'll feel the same, I still wanted to tell you this but…I noticed that you've been avoiding me so I wanted to know the reason so that I could maybe explain myself if I did something wrong and maybe things would be the same again."

Neither of them talked for a while until Dino's phone rang. It was Romario, telling him that they're here to pick him up already.

"Yeah. Ok. Be right there." Dino said then he ended the call. He looked at Kyoya who was still silent.

"I'm sorry about what I did earlier. If you want, you could just forget about all the things I said before. Bye then." Dino said with a gentle but sad voice.

He also went for the door and passed by Kyoya who was staying still. As he was about to go down the stairs, arms suddenly were wrapped around him and he felt someone's body leaning towards him.

When Dino looked behind, his eyes widened as he saw his student hugging him. His face deeply buried at the back of his jacket.

"K-Kyoya…" was all Dino could say.

"…you idiot…" Kyoya said. His face was still buried to Dino's back so he can't see his student's expression.

"What?.." Dino said. Confused with what his student said.

"Who said that it was impossible for me to feel the same…" Kyoya said as he tightened his arms around Dino.

"…so does that mean…" Dino said. He didn't have to finish what he has to say. He smiled because he already understood what Kyoya meant.

Although he still wanted to stay in that position, Dino loosened Kyoya's arms so that he could look at him. He gently bent over and placed his soft lips unto Kyoya's. At that time, Dino promised to himself that he would always love Kyoya and he would never do anything to hurt him.

'I guess that promise was nothing more than a lie as well…' Dino thought, as he was looking at Namimori Middle School.

Dino was discharged from the hospital a few days ago. He's currently staying at a hotel near Namimori.

He wanted to get a taste of fresh air because the hotel he's staying at was getting a bit crowded because of his loyal subordinates. Ever since Dino they found out that Kyoya already knew the truth, they never seem to leave their boss' side. Probably it was their way of cheering him up but Dino didn't want that. Although he does appreciate his subordinate's kind effort, he feels that what he really needs is time to be alone and so that he can maybe get some peace of mind. He told his subordinate that he'll take a stroll around Namimori.

Not really caring where he is or where he's heading, Dino kept walking absent-mindedly through the streets of Namimori. He was walking slowly, not really minding the people who were staring at him wondering if he was lost.

As he was walking, he saw Nami Middle which was already closed. As he looked at the school, that's when he remembered his memories with Kyoya, specifically the day when he and Kyoya confessed to each other. So many things have happened to him and Kyoya in this school, good as well as bad ones. But whatever memories he had of this school, he liked Nami Middle a lot. For him, this place was filled with precious memories of some of the happiest times of his life.

He started walking once again and this time, he passed by a familiar house. He was surprised to see that his walk led to Tsuna's house. He looked at the house for a little while, looking at the windows if there were people inside but failed to notice anyone. Just as he was about to leave, he didn't notice that there was a kid in front of him and accidentally, they bumped into each other and both fell down really hard.

"Ouch that hurt!" the kid said as he was rubbing his rear that hit the cemented ground.

"I'm sorry about that" Dino said but when he looked at the kid, he was surprised to see that the person he bumped into was Tsuna.

"Tsuna?"

"Huh? Dino-san?" Tsuna said. He was surpsised to see Dino as well.

Dino stood up and lend Tsuna a hand.

"Thank you. By the way, what are you doing here?" Tsuna asked politely.

"I was just taking a walk but I wasn't paying attention to where I'm going so when I noticed, I was already outside your house." Dino answered

"Oh…well, do you want to go inside for a bit?"

"…Sure" Dino said then he smiled.

Tsuna and Dino headed towards the kitchen. Just as Dino thought, there was no one home.
