'We won't break we won't doubt...but please don't say goodbye...'
Chapter 5: Our Goodbyes
Tsuna stepped out of his bed, his steps were slightly unsteady. The more he walked the more it seemed to get worse almost like his body could barely focus on what he was doing. Trying to get to the door he fell flat on his face instead, what had caused him to fall. "Ow." Tsuna looked back to his ankle it was chained to the bed, why had that happened. He didn't remember what had happened the night before at all, just hearing Giotto yell at someone. Tugging at the chain he managed to get it off the bed, his steps were still not steady so he was doing his best to support his body.
"Gio?" He spoke but it just sounded like a pained whisper, not like he was sure where he was. That man always knew how to just vanish and appear out of thin air in another place. 'Maybe he's in the kitchen?' Tsuna could hear someone cutting something in there, well at least he heard the knife and the sound was getting louder the closer he got to the kitchen. The only other person who stayed in this house was Giotto so it had to be him. He stopped outside of the kitchen peeking into the room he could see the blonde haired person. It was Giotto or at least he had the feeling it was but he still walked silently the chain dragging across the ground.
"Tsuna?" The male spoke without turning to look at him since well this was better then he had been the night before. He put the knife down and walked towards the small boy. He noticed how he wasn't looking up which might make this bad. "I...Sorry Gio." the boy smiled up at him hiding the pained look the best he could. Not that it was going to help him in the end Giotto could see through just about everything. The child got up and literally tackled Giotto hiding his face in the male's chest. He was crying silently not wanting to let anyone know what he was feeling. Only one person would understand him and he tried to trust Giotto with everything.
The boy couldn't help it he felt as if everything was falling apart he had hurt him. Or at least he thought he had was Giotto okay even if he had done that. Well Tsuna couldn't be sure he hated what he had done how much trouble he was causing. But he knew that Giotto cared maybe he would better in someone else's arms. Rather then him holding the older male back he didn't want to do that to him. "Tsuna? Still worrying about that the past is the past." He would never be one for holding things against them as it had been proved with Spade before. He never really disliked him and yet he was hard to trust.
Even now he would try to get Tsuna to understand just holding him close. Maybe the boy was just weak and didn't wish to let things break again. He had loved Giotto with all his heart and nothing could change that. "I uh guess I should stop worrying huh. Thank you Giotto." He leaned up to kiss him lightly and just wanted to curl up in his arms for awhile. Without having to worry about work or anything else since he was never one to concern himself with that thing. But he had no choice there was other things that had to be done. Like School and the homework thing he had to do not that he was happy about that. He was never an good at that okay well not majorly good at it but he still tried.
"I should go." he didn't want to pull away from him but he had little choice in the matter. He smiled and just let his hand fall as he backed up. That was just the way it was and he just would have to do something about this. Before anyone got hurt he did not wish to be the cause of the people he loved dying. "No Tsuna you stay home today alright till we deal with him." Giotto would not let Tsuna leave he was told to keep him home after all while they hunted. To see if they could find him and stop him before he got to Tsuna again.
Or anyone close to him so that was just going to make it even more complicated. "But Giotto." He was going to speak more but the hand pressed over his mouth to stop him from talking. Just shaking his head Giotto did not wish to put him in a stressful situation alone. So they couldn't blame him for wanting to protect him the best he could. "Just stay home at least for a few days." He let his hand fall from Tsuna's mouth to look at him, he couldn't truly keep him home but he was going to at least try. Better then letting him get hurt by not keeping him here.
So what if he would miss a day of school his life and sanity was really more important. The boy just gave a slight nod sitting at the table now to watch Giotto. Maybe he wanted to do something stupid but he wasn't going to. Not with how worried he could tell Giotto was if he did anything else he might just make another enemy. 'I wish he'd let me go. Better then him getting hurt.' That was always how he thought if he just vanished people wouldn't get hurt. Or maybe he wouldn't have to deal with the confusing thoughts always scared of hurting others. Or losing them but weren't most people like that.
Tsuna shook it off trying to hide his thoughts he wouldn't give anything away yet. Whatever would keep Giotto happy and Enma far away from him. "But what about work?" The boy had to ask to know if he was going to be left here alone or not. Part of him didn't want Giotto to leave because he knew what he was going to do. And that meant he might hurt Giotto or break him but this was also trying to help him. "No I'll just call in today." He didn't wish to leave Tsunayoshi alone knowing what might happen to him. Or he might just lose him the whole Enma not leaving them alone was going to be a problem.
The boy just gave a slight nod his hands were clutched tight in each other. Like he was trying to not react or get mad, worried even. Things were just going differently then he wanted and yet at the same time he was glad. Tsuna wanted Giotto to stay so they could just spend some time together and he would be safe hopefully. "Don't worry Tsuna I will protect you I promised." He leaned closer and kissed the boy just wanting to calm him down. And let him know he was there but then again he just didn't wish to let him suffer alone. That was one of things love was did they know that maybe not, Tsuna seemed so tense and so confused. 'I...I'm sorry Giotto...'The boy shivered and cried some in his arm just wanting to hold him close.
Tsuna really didn't want to leave him behind he loved this person so much. And yet he knew if he stayed he would end up hurting him and he did not wish to do that. "Shh don't cry little one..let's get you something to eat alright?" Giotto would give him something that he liked to eat so he would calm down some, then again he felt like he was going to fail. Shaking it off he wanted to save his lover and friend the person who he took care of. "We can have Tuna and watch a movie in your room right Giotto?" The boy smiled and tried to just figure out what he was going to do, he would worry about other things later.
Make the last day he had with him the best time ever even if he was not sure how it might end. He might make a major mistake and end up hurting someone that he didn't want to. But Tsuna felt happy and just snuggled closer to him. "alright I will get started on that you can just relax if you wish." He just pulled back from Tsunayoshi and focused on the cooking again. Wanting to take care of him after all since he did not wish to let him die or hurt himself so bad. They cared about each other a lot more then they showed sometimes.
"Thank you Giotto." The boy pulled out a notebook and started to work on his homework. While Giotto was cooking he always did like the food Giotto made the best. It was just well the only food he used to eat when he was younger and he remembered being brought over to Giotto's once. That was really one of the best days of his life because he was not sure where he might have ended up. Here he had a safe place and wanted to make him as happy as he could. "Giotto! is it done!" He giggled like he was hyper and he got up to wrap his arms around him smelling the Tuna. It was making his stomach growl as he stopped talking it could be heard. "Sounds like you are hungry but yes its almost done." The boy might have been starving for awhile but then again he was not complaining.
Holding up a piece of the tuna to Tsuna's mouth he took a bite out of the other end then kissed him. Though he let Tsuna swallow the tuna he had in his mouth. Just playing around some maybe he could pleasure Tsuna a little bit later on. "G..giotto..."He purred and just held onto him wanting to shove him down, trying to push him back. "I love you so much..." The boy muttered in his ear just pulling him back with the food towards his room, it was all set up for them after all. The little boy just curled up on the bed watching him set up the movie thing and well maybe this day was going to be a very good one.
At least without him being at school and having to deal with Enma and all of that drama. But he was still worried about what might happen when he went back. Or what he might do seeing as Tsuna wasn't there. Just shaking it off as he dragged Giotto to the bed just by grabbing onto his jacket. He was not at school so there was little reason to think about it. But his thoughts kept trailing there almost like he wanted to see what was happening there.
~Switching to Hibari Kyoya~
Hibari would never miss school it was not his thing even if he had to bring that little brat. So he was trying to wake that cat brat up, shaking the bed. "Wake up cat..." Not that he wanted to deal with this person but bringing them to school would be better then leaving him at home. The little cat boy just groaned sitting up the clink of metal hitting the bed. He was still handcuffed to the bed thanks to this person he didn't like him all that much. Hibari Kyoya was so overprotective over that Tsunayoshi boy. And yet he was going to fail at protecting him they all were.
Not that Yue was going to tell anyone anything, just another creation made from flames. What was the point of this he just glared at him. "Well if you are making me go with you at least get these off first." He moved the handcuffs causing them to hit the bed even if the sound hurt his ears. He was never one for liking loud noises and yet he was irritated by this. Why was this person weak he should be stronger, then again he was just assuming he would be the same.
But he was just looking for things a way to find what he was missing, bring them back to Enma. He would get what he was looking for then and not have to worry about how he was going to live day by day. The male didn't speak to him though he just removed the handcuffs, not like Yue could run anywhere. He needed to get the truth and find out some things from him as always. "So why the heck do I have to go to school?" He just hissed when the man dropped a black hat over his ears, at least to keep them hidden. But then there was his tail the boy just sighed and wrapped it up under his shirt. No one would be able to see it then he was not that concerned though.
"Well I can't leave you alone...after what you did to that herbivore ..." Enma would probably try anything and this child was one of his little keys to it. And yet he felt as if maybe for a second he knew who he was like he had seen this kid before. The ring that was on the chain around his neck held flames in it, enough to keep him up for awhile. If it failed he would just take more from Hibari his body was good at doing that. There was many others to take flames from in this world he just had to pick the right ones. And do it without anyone knowing that he was going to do so anyway.
"meh I hate school...heard it was really boring." He just walked next to Hibari Kyoya even if he wanted to stab him and just steal his ring. The boy tried to slip away from Hibari only to have him grab onto his shirt and drag him back. "I don't think so. You won't get away." He just held onto him and dragged him up to the school he had to get him a uniform or could hide him in the office. No one would think to look there he was more then sure of that this time anyway wasn't he.
"Aww come on!" The boy flinched and glared ahead of him there was Enma standing there watching him. He didn't want to go back not yet when one his mission wasn't complete. And two he knew someone meaning Enma would try to punish him for not finish the job yet. He just looked away from Enma feeling the hand grab his arm and try to tug him away from Hibari. He just meowed in a slight pained voice trying to get him to let go. "Let go Enma!" He tried to claw him and break away again but the nails were digging into his arms. "You have something I need now give it to me." The male seemed angry and it made Yue wanted to run away or just kill him. But he was stuck by working for him one way or another anyway.
"I won't give you anything! Now let go!" He tried to hit him again when he felt a hand catch his and drag him away from Enma. Looking up to meet those eyes, it was not Hibari he was dealing with Enma who seemed to be trying to say it was Yue's fault. So if it wasn't him then who was holding his arm, that man that was always at Tsuna's side. "Gokudera Hayato..." He muttered not pulling his arm away he felt tired, why was this happening to him he didn't want to be dragged to school and this was why. Yue's body flickered and he slipped closer to Gokudera trying to steal his flames.
'Just a little bit...' The boy shivered and settled down when his body was solid again. Looking back to Enma he just glared at him. "You won't get anything from me now leave. Hibari Kyoya you said that we had work to do." He would not boss him around as in he wouldn't listen for one and two he did not wish to annoy him. Not with Enma on his tail again and trying to get to him, if he was done with his job he might have said differently. But he was not done with it so he needed the protection for now. There was no getting connected to Hibari Kyoya and wanting to be his friend. This was all about work and not making the one who asked him to do this mad.
Though he might have done that already with this little episode, Yue just looked up to Gokudera and gave a weak smile. Before walking again with Hibari he wondered if that man knew anything at all about him it would really be bad if he was smart and figured it out. He could still feel eyes on him one pair was Enma's and the other belonged to the male who followed them. Gokudera was really going to get in over his head if he didn't watch what he was doing and stay out of certain things. But Yue would not tell him now until he started to put himself and others in danger that was not a good thing to do.
"So Hibari San? you have my uniform right?" The boy was asking because it would at least be another subject if he went to this school anyway. Unless Hibari had other plans in mind that might end in him locked in the office today instead. "It's in the office we go there first. Now walk faster." He just figured he might as well listen so he walked faster better to do that then make Hibari wait for him. He didn't like the thought of going into the office but he just walked with him stepping through the door. The people in the room vanished with just one glare from Hibari.
"Change into your uniform then sit down. Class doesn't start for a little bit."The cat boy sighed and slipped down to change into the uniform keeping his tail wrapped around his body. He really didn't see why he was supposed to do this he wanted to just get out of here. Before it got anywhere else or things were going to get really bad again. "So why do I have to do this..." The male really wished he could do other things and yet at the same time he was not sure if he should do this.
"Well I can't let you go back to Enma. That annoying blonde's orders as much as I wish to just ignore them." The boy looked up at Hibari who didn't even seem to be looking at him. He was too focused on his papers that work he was trying to do, not that it was going to work. "Not like I want to go back to him anyway..."He just yawned and stood up to sit on the desk and look at Hibari maybe he wondering about something, the boy leaned closer and pulled on his collar but heard the bell ring. "I have to go..." With that he sighed and grabbed the bag Hibari had given him earlier racing out of the room. Well so much for doing what he wanted to do. Now it was just a matter of avoiding Enma and not getting into trouble.
~Switch back to Tsuna and Giotto~
Giotto looked at the sleeping boy curled up in his arms, he must have been exhausted. After all that happened who could blame him things would always end up catching up. He was at least glad that he was resting for now maybe it wouldn't be so bad now. They were together and might as well just love each other as they did before. Enma would not be able to get in the way this time he was sure of that. "Sleep well little Tsunayoshi Sawada." Dragging the blanket over them he closed his eyes to rest a little not knowing when he would wake up. It would be a good idea to sleep while Tsuna was.
Since he was worried what might happen if he woke up before Giotto did. Would he go back to Enma well all he could do was hope he didn't. Feeling the child hold onto him tighter he just wanted to take him far away from this place. But he knew he couldn't do that there was no way it could be more dangerous away from here. "Giotto you are still worrying about me aren't you." Tsuna barely opened his eyes he was very tired and just wanted to sleep still but he knew that he had to take care of Giotto as well.
That and he didn't want to have him keep hurting when it was because of Tsuna that he was. Just trying to squeeze him tighter rather then let him go. "You should be sleeping Tsuna. It's fine I'm just worrying a bit about how you are feeling." Tsuna sighed and snuggled closer to him again. He was worried about him and it seemed that the feelings were mutual they cared about each other. And yet it was not going to be that easy to ignore what was going through his mind. "I'm fine just tired...please don't worry about me." The boy yawned and felt that he was drifting to sleep again even if he didn't want to.
"Just rest. I won't..." Well okay maybe he wouldn't all that much since he had said so. But Tsuna was a lot like him so they were both going to at one point even if they didn't want to admit it. Curling up with Tsuna again to go back to sleep he couldn't help but think something bad was going to happen when he went back to school. Letting Tsuna grow up was just something he had to do but he would keep some sort of watchful eye on him even then.
~After School: Yue and Hibari~
Yue tried to slip out of the classroom just to find Hibari he could not let Enma catch him. That was not going to help him if he did since he might just hurt someone. But just like that turning the corner Enma shoved him into a room. "You thought you could escape from me Yue. You are a fool." The boy just growled and tried to hit him moving back again. He didn't wish to get hurt or bring Hibari into this mix. "I am no fool just get out of the way and leave me alone Enma." The boy hissed his tail flicking against the ground forming a sharp point using the flames. He tried to stab Enma only cutting into his arm as he ran towards the window."You won't catch me!" He tossed himself through the window feeling Enma claw his leg.
Turning to look at him he shivered knowing that Enma was not going to let him go. That and he was falling from the third story window a smart move right. "Hibari!" He reached out and felt the hand grab him knowing that it was Hibari. He just let him pull him up and sighed some. Not that it was going to make much sense he might as well let it go. "I'm sorry Hibari...it was Enma he tried to catch me." The boy shivered and rubbed his back it was hurting him a bit. But not that he minded really he just wanted to figure out what was next.
"Let's just go alright. back home where you won't get into trouble." The boy just gave a slight nod and walked away with him again. He could feel the eyes on him but he really didn't like it at all. This was really getting out of hand he had to work fast before someone got hurt. Even if it meant that he had to steal the rings he had little time to think about that.
Author Notes: Well yep done with this sorta. Took a bit longer then I thought kept getting distracted and stuff. Blames health issues at this point. That and I'm really not in a good mood lately but on a side note I get to see my sister and her baby. Other then the drama problems, feel like I'm being walked all over tomorrow might be pretty good. Though I do get tired of feeling like I'm walked all over by everyone and anyone….ah well is too nice in the end to say no ^^ But then again I like having friends rather then enemies so gotta ignore it.
But yea anyway this one was pretty long about eight pages and that was just from me writing all day. Yue is a oc person…that I tossed in there for plot reasons you will find out more about the in the next chapter. And why they are seemingly drawn to Hibari and fading without the flames. Well yea all of that will pop up later anyway.
Looking for a vote on things sorta? So I wanted to start a new story but it was going to be ghost like. Should I use Tsuna and khr characters? Or make it oc or some other kind of anime. Reply in private messages or reviews one of the two thank you.
