Forcing You – D27
A/N: This can be an optional chapter. It's just filler to get past the arc. And I'm really stupid for making it during the inheritance one... Just rushing it to Arcobaleno arc.
8.
Tsuna was in a slump for the entire week. It was only when Reborn told him about the Vongola meeting, his Inheritance Ceremony, that he woke up. A Vongola meeting meant that all affiliated families would be there, which meant that Dino would be there.
His obsession with Dino could probably be rated as perfectly natural to some extent. Unwillingly, he dreamed of him the first few nights, causing him to soil himself. He fixed this by masturbating. The brunette possessed no pictures of his beloved. He had to make-do with his memory, but that was good enough for him as he was satisfied rather quickly. Hiding from his mother, Reborn, the kids… He felt awful.
But that was the least of Tsuna's problems. With the Inheritance Ceremony nearing its due date, he became more and more anxious. He could no longer act as carefree as he usually was. His Guardians knew about it. The Simon Middle School students were, coincidentally, connected to the Vongola somehow, as well. At least, Tsuna was able to make friends with Enma, someone normal, someone more on his wavelength.
He had found comfort in their similarity. They were both bullied boys and they understood each other well. Enma had been over to his house on several occasions. They got along. He refused to accept that Enma was somehow related to this mafia business, as he was such a gentle, clumsy boy. Like himself. If misfortune was able to strike him, why did it not spare Enma? They were in the same predicament, but Tsuna never really voiced those thoughts out. They never really discussed mafia matters.
And then there was the incident where Yamamoto was stabbed. Tsuna swore he was going to faint when he heard the news. The mafia really wasn't something Tsuna liked at all. Hearing that his close friend was unconscious in an emergency room, he agonized about how to present himself at the meeting. Would his life be targeted next? No, worry about Yamamoto, you dunce! His thoughts were drifting between his and his friend's health. Clearly, another group was targeting his family. Fear took over his body more than anything else. He didn't even find the time to curse at Reborn anymore.
The emotions he felt were a first for him, comparable to his love for the Bucking Horse. He trembled in bed, sweating profusely. His first best friend's life was in peril, and this time, he could do absolutely nothing about it. He had resolved to accept the Tenth position after all, to find the one who had endangered Yamamoto. It was something he had decided in a split-second after seeing his friend's body. He didn't regret it, but he was scared.
With the weight of the Tenth Vongola boss position, Tsuna walked into the hall, surrounded by his Guardians, with Chrome maintaining an illusion of Yamamoto. The building was large, and the ceiling was high. It was a fascinating sight to most, but Tsuna paid his environment no mind. They were greeted as they entered, and immediately, everyone could tell that Yamamoto was merely an illusion. They were polite enough to keep quiet.
He greeted Timoteo and looked around for Dino. He caught his messy mop of hair somewhere in the crowd. His heart rate went up. He wanted to forget that he was supposed to bait an assassin out and just run towards Dino, leap into his arms… Kiss him. He shook his head. No. Bait out the assassin that had made an attempt on Yamamoto's life. Bait him out.
Tsuna went home more than confused. Enma's sudden betrayal… The broken Vongola rings which were now upgraded… A kidnapped Chrome… He was to set out with his Guardians to the Simon hideout.
The events had unfolded so quickly, Tsuna hadn't had the chance to speak to Dino. They greeted each other formally during the ceremony, no more.
He sat anxiously on the boat the Ninth had prepared, waiting to arrive at the Simon hideout, a small island. Tsuna had already set his priorities. He was going to clear up the misunderstanding between the Simon and Vongola families, sleep for an entire day or two, and finally, see Dino. He had to admit that he was pretty stressed.
What if he lost his life on the island? He would never get to see him again. He didn't want the last time he saw Dino to be on bad terms. He clenched his fists, bit his lip. He needed to make it out alive at least. To see Dino one last time, to apologize for how his emotions got the better of him. He imagined being on a hospital bed, on the verge of death, Dino crying his heart out. It was sick. Yet, he half desired to see his beloved cry. He clutched his chest and wiped away the tears. They were nearing their destination.
Sorry for this bad chapter. I did include some emotions awawa. I'll have the next one up fast so you don't need to remember this atrocity.
The next one will be a skip to right after the battle, so please do not be shocked. Once again, I am extremely sorry... I did start a blog dedicated to D27 on tumblr. It's called fuckyeahd27 and is very Dino-centric. Please check it out if you want and you may even request art, etc. :)
