After we cleaned up, Tsuna and I went to our shoe lockers to go home. As we were leaving the school gate, I looked at Tsuna.
"Tsuna…" I muttered, still feeling guilty about upsetting him earlier.
"What is it?" He replied. I played with my fingers a bit.
"Can I treat you to ice cream?" Tsuna's eyes widened in confusion.
"Why?" My face got warm.
"As an apology." Tsuna frowned a little.
"An 'apology'? For what?"
"For getting you so flustered when we were cleaning up," I admitted.
Tsuna began stuttering. Ah? Did I upset him again?
"Y-you don't have to do that, Chi! I-it's okay, really!" He was blushing furiously.
I frowned and tugged his hand.
"No, I made up my mind," I narrowed my gaze and held up my free hand and made a fist, "I'm treating you to ice cream, no ifs, ands, or buts."
Tsuna was sitting at an empty table outside while I was buying the ice cream. Thank goodness no one at school decided to take all my yen again!
I walked back to our table. Two scoops of vanilla with chocolate syrup for Tsuna, and one scoop of mint chocolate chip for me. Both in cups of course, knowing my and Tsuna's luck, we'd trip over nothing and get ice cream all over our uniforms.
"Here Tsuna," I put down his cup, he looked a bit reluctant to accept it, but I knew he was happy.
He sighed and grinned, "Thank you, Chi."
See, he's happy.
After eating, Tsuna asked me if I wanted to sleepover at his place again.
Of course, I said yes, but I needed to ask my mom too. We have to remember that we're still in middle school and are still under our parents' rule.
But my mom always says yes to my and Tsuna's sleepovers anyway. She says she trusts us to not do anything bad…I'm not quite sure what she means by that.

"Mom! I'm home!" Odd, she's usually in the living room reading a book or something. I looked around, maybe she's in the backyard? I walked to the back and saw her poking around her garden. Is she trying to catch those lizards again?
"Mom?" She jumped…do I walk that quietly?
"Oh! Sweetie, you're home!" She took off her gardening gloves and pulled me into a big bear hug, "How was school sweetheart?" she asked, nuzzling the top of my head.
She looked happy, she probably had a good day so far. Well, I shouldn't ruin that good mood.
"It was okay, Tsuna and I got to school on time today," She gasped and her eyes began to sparkle.
"Oh yay! Good for you two!" She hugged me tighter. Ugh…it's getting hard to breathe…
"M-Mom…air…" I wheezed. She let go and straightened out my uniform, "Mom, can I sleepover at Tsuna's today?"
She nodded, "Of course, dear, but be sure to call me before you go to bed so I know you're okay, okay?"
I nodded, "I will, bye Mom!" I went outside.
You're probably wondering where my Dad is huh?
He and Iemitsu-san work together as construction workers in a lot of different places, so they don't come home a lot. But even if I don't get to see my Dad, I still love him of course. He's family.
In Tsuna's room, we were playing video games. As per usual. And mind you, we finished our homework before hand.
So Tsuna and I were currently playing a fighting game. We were tied five-to-five and Tsuna was beating me. Grr…
Darn him and his fast fingers…
"Tsu-ku~n, Chi-cha~n!" Nana-san called. She came in carrying a plate of small sandwiches and tea. Most likely green, mothers always want their children to be healthy.
"I thought the two of you might still be a bit hungry after dinner, so I made you some snacks~" She chirped.
Nana-san put the plate on the table in the middle of Tsuna's room and left with a cheerful "Goodnight!"
Mmm, now we're stuck between pausing the game to eat or finish the battle then eat…
Either way, Tsuna ended up winning and we finished the snacks his mother brought in. We both washed up and got ready for bed.
Now, for our sleeping arrangements, you may find it a bit odd.
Tsuna and I share the bed. And likewise, when he sleeps over at my house. We're pretty used to it, and Tsuna's bed is big enough for both of us and then some. We turned off the lights and let the moonlight come in.
Finally, Tsuna and I can get some rest. Today was pretty rough, just like all our other days…
"Goodnight Chi," Tsuna murmured sleepily. He held my hand tightly and laid his forehead against mine.
"Goodnight Tsuna," I whispered, gently squeezing his hand. We both let out a soft sigh before allowing the comforting darkness of sleep take over.
