HIS DECISION

"Where are the others?" Dino asked.

"I think they all went shopping with my mom." Tsuna answered.

"Oh…"

Tsuna offered Dino some tea and they sat at the dining room silently. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Tsuna finally opened up a conversation.

"Umm…I spoke to Hibari-san just a few days ago" he said softly. His voice was really low. He doesn't know whether it's a good idea to talk about this topic or not but he feels that Dino needs to know this.

"Oh?" was all Dino said. He acted as if it doesn't really bother him and just continued to drink his tea.

"Yeah…and…Dino-san…"

"Yes?"

"Well…you see…" Tsuna clasped both of his hands like he was praying and bowed down. "I'm sorry Dino-san! I told Hibari-san about the truth!"

"Huh? The truth about what?"

"About why you lied about who you really are and why you left him"

Dino just looked at Tsuna.

"I'm really, really sorry. I just thought that if Hibari-san knew the truth then maybe he'd understand and forgive us, especially you." Tsuna continued.

Dino was silent for a minute. He found it very amusing to se his so-called little brother's apologizing face. He ruffled Tsuna's hair and when the boy looked up at him, he smiled.

"It's alright, Tsuna. Actually, I should be the one to apologize. I was the one who got all of you involved in this."

"We kinda understand why you did this so it's okay, Dino-san"

The room was quiet again. It took a few seconds before someone talked. This time, it was Dino who talked first.

"How did he respond?"

"Eh?

"How did Kyoya respond when you told him about that."

Tsuna who was holding his tea cup placed it down on the table. His face bowed down and he frowned.

"….he totally misunderstood all the things I've said to him. He said…that you were a coward and that you just ran away from your problems. After that talk we had, nothing really changed. He continues to ignore us completely. I think he's acting like he's not affected but even so, I know that he's really angry."

Dino tried to make his voice as normal as possible so that Tsuna wouldn't notice what he's truly feeling right now.

"I knew this would happen. I knew that even if he finds out the truth, he'd still be angry. After all, that excuse was pretty pathetic don't you think? I hurt him and then I just left him just like that. He's right to call me a coward." He said calmly.

"Then why don't you do something to make him forgive you?"

"I told you about that before. If I stay by his side again then I might hurt him once more. I think it's better if we stay apart"

"But…" Tsuna was about to say something, but he restrained himself from saying it.

"Tsuna, it's okay. You don't need to worry about all this."

Their conversation about that topic ended like that. They talked about different things, anything to avoid that topic, until Tsuna's mom and the others came back. At that time, Dino's subordinates already found out he was at Tsuna's house and quickly went there to pick him up. When they arrived at Tsuna's house, Tsuna escorted Dino towards their front gate.

"See you Tsuna!" Dino said as he went inside the car.

"Yeah. See you!" Tsuna said as he waved at him to say goodbye.

As Tsuna watched Dino's car going farther away, he suddenly heard someone speak behind him.

"Is that Dino's car?" That person said.

"Oh it's you, Reborn." Tsuna said. "Yeah. that's Dino-san's car. We bumped into each other a while ago so I asked him if he wanted to go inside for a bit."

"I see. Too bad I missed him"

Something went through Tsuna's mind and he decided to talk about this to Reborn.

"Hey, Reborn…"

"What?"

"Don't you think that Hibari-san would be happier if he had Dino-san by his side rather than choosing to be away from him as possible so that he wouldn't hurt him anymore?"

"Maybe. But even if that's true, Dino should be the one to realize that. We shouldn't interfere with their problems. They should be the ones to fix this."

"…I guess you're right." Tsuna agreed then they decided to go back inside the house.

In the car, the atmosphere was silent. Dino leaned his elbow at the car door next to him with his chin resting on his hand. He was looking outside the window. It was like he was staring into space again. Romario, who was sitting next to Dino, seemed to notice his Boss' odd behavior.

"Dino-sama, are you ok?" Romario asked.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" Dino said in a monotone voice.

"Well…I thought that there might be something on your mind so…"

"I'm fine, Romario. I'm just a little tired, that's all." Dino said and he smiled.

"Then I guess we should head back soon so you could rest."

"Yeah. But before that, I need you to do something for me."

"What is it, boss?"

"I need you to book plane tickets to Italy for me." Dino said. He was still looking outside the window.

"What? But boss…" Even though Romario knows the reason why he needs to leave Japan soon, he still feels that it's not what Dino really wants to do.

"My works here in Japan is done. And I think its time we get back home don't you think? We'll go back to how things were"

Yay! I finished another one. Hooray! Thanks for reading and reviewing. Sorry for wrong grammars
