"Ne, isn't this pretty?"
Tsuna glanced up from his paperwork as a laminated picture fluttered into view. He stared in slight amazement as his eyes flew along paths of colors, shifting from magentas to purples, curving from greens to blues, and streaming down from the darkened sky in colors blending to make an ethereal white.
"Wow…" Tsuna whispered, holding up the paper to further inspect the picture.
Yamamoto laughed, "That's what I said when Kusakabe showed this to me."
"Kusakabe-san?" Tsuna looked up at his Rain Guardian. "You got this from Kusakabe-san?"
"It was originally Hibari's," Yamamoto turned and leaned on the desk, almost sitting on it. "Apparently Hibari set his sights really far north…or really far south. Whichever one shows this first."
"It's an aurora, right?" Tsuna murmured, returning his eyes back to the sheet.
"You got it!" Yamamoto sent a pleased smile down at his boss and slowly let it soften.
"Wouldn't it be cool to see something like this together?"
Tsuna blinked. Then his face blanched. "Yamamoto, the places you find these thing is really cold. Their temperatures go below zero degrees Celsius!"
"Haha! And?" In a second, Yamamoto was by his side, arms wrapped around Tsuna's shoulders and pulling him close. "We could be this close and warm each other up!"
Tsuna laughed, "What an adolescent thing to say, Yamamoto!" Yet he placed his hands on Yamamoto's arms, as he did when he was younger.
Yamamoto laughed as well, nuzzling his face in Tsuna's tall hair, further eliciting a laugh from the man in his arms. They stayed in each other's embrace, simply basking in the other's presence.
"Ne, we can right?" Yamamoto asked lowly, slightly muffled as he spoke into Tsuna's hair.
Tsuna sighed, contentedly as it was exasperated, "Someday; why not? It'll be a relaxing vacation."
Yamamoto smiled, "Then it's a promised date."
Tsuna gave his own small smile.
