The thing about the pairings... there are still more pairings I have yet to announce until they appear in the story!

Anyways... how many people forget to turn off their cells during an exam? Some boy in my English class's cell went off lol.

When I look over this chapter, I wonder what I was thinking... mm... You'll understand my pondering as you read on... Please don't kill me.

Rachel-chanx3: Lol, which is why I said Nice timing xD I hope I can keep this updating speed up! Oh! Thanks for finding those mistakes, I'll go fix them now! I made it Tsuna-centric and Giotto-centric because something was bothering me, hence the author note in the previous chapter. It's been bugging me about perspectives of the characters in this story...

Dreamwishstarx3: Lol, Tsuna gets more pairings later on. They just have yet to be announced :D

Rainbow muffinman: It's because currently, I still have planned pairings for Tsuna that have yet to be announced. Care to guess? Lol. For the pairings, they develop into love and somewhat bromance (my friend told me how much some of the characters act like that) haha I plan to make Gokudera and Yamamoto become more interactive with the other characters and the plot sooner on in the story.

Ezcap1st: yes. THE NEW AND IMPROVED GIOTTO. THE CREEPER.

Totalamuto: Lol, well... hopefully those views will change later on, right? XD


Tsuna tapped his pencil on a page in his notebook that was covered with equations that he did not understand. He stared leaned his cheek into the palm of his hand as he watched Natsu turn the page in his textbook. How in the world did his older brother understand this when he didn't?

"Natsu… can you explain question four to me?"

Natsu glanced up and nodded. "Let me finish the substitution for question thirteen B and I'll help you."

"YOU'RE ON THIRTEEN?" Tsuna asked in shock. Natsu blinked and nodded. "No way…"

Natsu just smiled sheepishly. Natsu glanced back at his paper and Tsuna saw him write down the symbol for pi and some random numbers. Well to Tsuna they were random. Tsuna sighed. It wasn't that he was stupid, no; he believed he was just fine. His mother did not care if he got into an elite university or anything, just that he'd at least get into some kind of university. He furrowed his brows. Would he somehow manage? A poke to his forehead brought him out of his thoughts.

"Anyone home?" Natsu asked grinning. Tsuna blushed and pouted. "Anyways, what don't you get?"

"Everything," Tsuna sighed. Natsu just smiled sheepishly before going over the equations for his brother.

Alaude leaned back in his leather seat as he stared at the laptop in front of him. Out of nowhere a chat popped up.

Hey Alaude!

Alaude rolled his eyes and ignored it.

I know you're there! Don't ignore meee!

Alaude muttered something about idiots before he typed a reply.

What is it, herbivore?

Almost immediately, a reply popped up. Just bored. Whatcha doin'?

Herbivore, you're in the next room.

So? OwO

… Is that some sort of emoticon?

Yep! Cute, isn't it?

Your stupidity never ceases to amaze me… Alaude rolled his eyes after sending it.

That's not very nice!

Giotto, I can hear you shouting things in the other room…

Sooooo?

… Alaude nearly face palmed at Giotto's reply.

If you have no significant reason for messaging me, I'm going to sign off.

Eh? Wait! Alaude!

Alaude grumbled as he signed out and turned off his laptop. He rubbed his temples when his bedroom door was slammed open by a certain blonde.

"ALAUDE! WHY DID YOU SIGN OFF?"

"Because you were trying to start a pointless conversation," Alaude muttered. Giotto pouted.

"Friends can start pointless conversations!"

"Well we cannot," Alaude retorted. Giotto frowned.

"You're no fun," He said crossing his arms. Alaude rolled his eyes.

"Too bad." Alaude turned around is his chair and pulled out a book and reading. Giotto stood them, forgotten and fuming.

"DAMN IT ALAUDE!"

Xxx

Yamamoto grinned like an idiot as he stared at the English homework in front of him. A very pissed silver haired boy sat across from him, a stick of strawberry pocky hanging from his mouth.

"You don't get this, do you?" Gokudera muttered. Yamamoto smiled sheepishly and shook his head. Gokudera facepalmed. "I'LL GO OVER IT ONE MORE TIME. There was a little pony. There were little ponies. There is a little pony. What words change?"

"Um… Pony?"

"That's one word," Gokudera muttered. "What else?"

Yamamoto just smiled. Gokudera rolled his eyes and circled the words was, were and is. Yamamoto's mouth formed an 'o'. "So…"

"Plural and singular… present and past… GOD DAMN IT, LET'S MOVE ONTO SOMETHING ELSE…"

"Haha, okay," Yamamoto grinned.

Gokudera pondered something. "Prepositions… Hmm… Here's a prepositional phrase… The baseball fell into the hole." He wrote it down on a piece of paper and showed Yamamoto.

"Baseball?" Yamamoto asked blinking.

"Maybe if I made this analogy would you understand it…"

"Okay…"

"OK, the preposition is into," Gokudera said, circling the word into. "The noun is the hole."

"The hole…," Yamamoto repeated. Gokudera nodded and underlined hole.

"Oh! I get it now!" Yamamoto grinned. Gokudera sighed and wondered if he really did.

The only reason he was helping the baseball-idiot was for the bad sushi… Damn it.

Tsuna shuddered, mewling in delight as Natsu bobbed his head up and down. His right hand was buried in his twin's brown locks, encouraging the boy to take him deeper in his hot mouth. "N-Natsu," Tsuna whimpered. Natsu blushed as trailed his tongue up the younger boy's shaft from the base, making his twin shiver in delight. Natsu took his mouth off of Tsuna's length, disappointing the boy. Natsu stood up and pushed Tsuna down onto the bed.

"Tsuna….," Natsu said. "Let's try a 69… I saw it on TV the other night…"

Tsuna blinked. Natsu wiped some of the drool that had been trailing down Tsuna's mouth. Natsu leaned down and kissed Tsuna, his tongue pulling Tsuna's in for a dance. Tsuna moaned as Natsu tugged at his erect length before Natsu got up and turned around. Tsuna blinked when he came in view with Natsu's hardened length and a hot heat engulfing his. "A-ah!"

Natsu bobbed his head up and down, licking at Tsuna's head, circling it with his tongue, making his younger brother mewl. Tsuna gasped in pleasure and realized what he was supposed to do. Tsuna raised his ear and licked at Natsu's length, making the boy moan, sending vibrations to Tsuna's length. Tsuna moaned in approval as he took Natsu's length in his mouth, sucking on it. Natsu grunted in ecstasy, taking Tsuna out of his mouth and stroking the hardened length, licking at the slit. Tsuna gasped with eyes half lidded as he licked on his finger before inserting it into Natsu. Natsu squeaked and then let out a shaky moan as Tsuna, seeming to have enough of their little 69 session, shoved him onto the bed and started fingering him.

Natsu gripped the bed-sheets and moaned in pain and pleasure. Tsuna furrowed his brows, watching Natsu's face contort in pain. Tsuna looked at Natsu for a moment, wiggling his finger around and then leaned down to kiss his older brother. Natsu pressed his lips back as he mewled. Tsuna pulled back and sucked on Natsu's length, adding another finger. Natsu gasped and bit his lip, feet curling his pleasure and pain. Natsu suddenly let out a loud moan, shuddering.

"Tsuna… hit that spot again…," Natsu whimpered. Tsuna glanced up at his lewd looking brother before he thrusted his fingers at the same spot continuously, making Natsu see white spots and he came into Tsuna's waiting mouth. Tsuna pulled his mouth off of Natsu's length with a pop. Tsuna pulled Natsu and both boys moaned when their lengths brushed against each other. Tsuna began to rub his cock against Natsu's as his older brother shuddered. Tsuna spread Natsu's legs and rubbed their dicks together quickly as Natsu cried out and wrapped his arms around Tsuna's neck, kissing his twin.

"Oh god… Natsu…," Tsuna murmured before releasing all over his older brother, Natsu followed quickly.

Natsu shuddered as Tsuna took in his flustered appearance. Smiling to himself, Tsuna leaned down and kissed Natsu, the older boy kissing back.

"Let's get cleaned up before mom comes home."

Giotto mused about something as he looked around the busy street. G raised an eyebrow at his best friend. "What are you staring at?"

"Some nice booty."

G's eye twitched.

"I'm kidding," Giotto laughed. G rolled his eyes.

"Sure you were."

"I'm serious!" Giotto said frowning.

"Uh huh…" G drank of coke before tossing the empty can in a nearby recycling bin.

"Mmm… I really wanna bang someone," Giotto murmured. G rolled his eyes again.

"Uh huh…"

"I bet I could coax Tsuna into giving me some," Giotto smirked. G glanced at the blonde before shrugging his shoulders.

"I'm not getting you out of shit when Natsu finds out…" G started walking away. Giotto blinked.

"Oh no, I'll get Natsu under me soon enough too," Giotto said smirking before running after his friend.

Xxx

"So, have you guys been to Italy before?" Giotto asked smiling. He was looking directly at Natsu, Tsuna and Yamamoto because he knew the answers for everyone else (which consisted of Gokudera and G). Yamamoto just laughed and shook his head.

"Um… No…," Tsuna said.

"Actually, we did go," Natsu corrected his twin. Tsuna blinked.

"Really? When?"

"When we were five… I'll never forget it because something happened during that trip…" Natsu had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Oh really now," Giotto said, interesting at what could lift Natsu's mood.

"OF COURSE JUUDAIME HAS GONE TO ITALY BEFORE!" He then paused. "DECIMO TOO."

"Dechi-what?" Natsu asked.

"Decimo, it means tenth in Italian," Giotto said, raising an eyebrow at Gokudera's outburst.

"I've always been curious, why do you call Tsuna Juudaime?" Yamamoto asked. "Oh, and Natsu Decimo."

"OF COURSE! IT'S BECAUSE JUUDAIME IS THE TENTH PERSON I RESPECT!"

Natsu raised an eyebrow. He remembered Tsuna going on about something about saving Gokudera before. Somehow it was an awkward encounter.

"Anyways, so you two have been to Italy before?" Giotto asked. Natsu nodded. "I would have never expected that."

"Neither did I," Tsuna squeaked. Natsu scoffed and pinched Tsuna's cheek.

"It's because you were still mommy's baby boy," Natsu said with a smile. "Still are."

"AM NOT!" Tsuna squeaked while slapping Natsu's hands away. He began to tug on Natsu's ears, making the boy yelp.

"Are too!" Natsu retaliated by pulling on Tsuna's hair. "You're still scared of sleeping alone in the dark!"

"You still run to mom after a horror m-movie!"

"So do you!"

"DO NOT!"

"DO TOO!"

"DO NOT!"

"You still run around with that stuff lion plushy!"

"I STILL HAVE PICTURES OF WHEN MOM MADE YOU DRESS UP AS A GIRL!" Tsuna shouted.

The room was completely silent.

"I thought I told you to never bring that up ever again," Natsu growled, standing up. Tsuna glared at his older brother in defiance.

"Well I did!" Tsuna stuck his tongue out.

Natsu's hand gripped the desk he was sitting at; G swore he saw it crack. Giotto raised an eyebrow at Natsu's behavior. He assumed Natsu would have just given in. Wait… Natsu dressed up as a girl before? Tsuna had pictures?

Natsu had a dark expression on his face, not as hateful as when he punched Giotto, however, it was still quite angered. Tsuna grew slightly frightened at his older brother's expression. Natsu was about to retaliate with a snide remark before he caught himself, gripping his head he sat down. Yamamoto glanced worriedly at the boy. Even Gokudera was silent. G let out a sigh. Who knew it was possible for the Sawada twins to quarrel.

Giotto glanced at the clock. Five more minutes before lunch break ends. He glanced over at G, who nodded.

"Lunch is almost over," Giotto said, standing up. "We have to go…"

Yamamoto and Gokudera nodded at them, Tsuna glanced at them momentarily while Natsu's bangs covered his eyes.

Xxx

"Yamamoto, is it okay if I sleep over at your house today?" Tsuna asked. Yamamoto blinked and grinned sheepishly.

"Sure thing, Tsuna." He then glanced over at Natsu, who had an indifferent expression on his face.

"If Juudaime's staying over at your place, then I am too!" Gokudera shouted.

"Ahaha, sure thing Gokudera," Yamamoto said.

Natsu heard the bell ring as he stood up from his seat. Yamamoto and Gokudera watched him leave the classroom with the dark atmosphere still hanging around him. They looked at each other worriedly.

Xxx

"Kyouya, can I crash at your place tonight?" Natsu asked. Hibari looked up from his paperwork. Natsu had entered his office without knocking and requested something strange again.

"Why? There's school tomorrow," Hibari said.

"I know," Natsu said, plopping down on the leather couch. "It's not for fooling around; I just don't want to go home at the moment." Hibari raised an eyebrow. "No, I do not want to talk about it and owe you more than I already do. I owe you enough with requesting this as it."

"Hn. Fine."

"Oh and Kyouya…"

"What?"

"Thanks."

Xxx

Tsuna was shocked to see Natsu walking side by side with Hibari afterschool. Tsuna was walking with Yamamoto and Gokudera, sure, but Natsu and Hibari again? Tsuna gritted his teeth and stared at the ground. He wasn't going to be the one who gave up, he was going to win this argument!

"Tsuna?" Tsuna glanced up to see Yamamoto looking at him. "You okay?"

"Couldn't be better…," Tsuna said. "Couldn't be better…."

Xxx

Giotto had been in awkward situations before, plenty of them. However, this one bordered awkward and EXTREMELY awkward. Never in his life of seventeen years, would Giotto have imagined Natsu sitting across from him, in his current residence, for dinner. Alaude seemed to be chill with it, however, Giotto could not just wrap his mind around the fact that the boy who hated him the most, was eating calmly in front of him.

"You two still haven't made up?" Giotto asked. Natsu looked at him for a moment before going back to eating. Giotto frowned. Hibari glanced over. Alaude just ate his dinner without a care of what was going on.

Apparently the only people that knew of the situation were the people that were present in the classroom during that time which weren't many. Hibari frowned as he popped a piece of rice into his mouth with his chopsticks. He would make Natsu tell him later.

Xxx

Tsuna sat in the Takezushi restaurant, chewing slowly on a piece of sushi. Yamamoto, who was sitting beside Tsuna, looked at him worriedly. Even Gokudera stayed quiet! Tsuna looked quiet dejected as he bit into the sushi roll.

"Eh? Tsuna-kun?" A feminine voice called. Tsuna swallowed the rice in his mouth and set the sushi down on the plate and looked behind him.

"Oh, hey Kyoko-chan," Tsuna said with a small smile.

"Are you alright? I heard you got into a fight with Natsu-kun," Kyoko asked with a worried expression.

"Yeah… Don't worry, it's nothing," Tsuna replied. Normally, he'd be all stutter and nervous with Kyoko around, however, he just wasn't in a good mood.

"Are you sure?" Kyoko asked. Tsuna just nodded, his expression still downtrodden. "I hope you two work it out… It hurts to see Tsuna-kun and Natsu-kun fighting. You two are really close…"

Tsuna stared at the floor as the words sunk in. He managed to crack a little smile. "Yeah… I hope so too…"

Xxx

Natsu gazed out the window in Hibari's room. Hibari, sitting at his desk reading a book, glanced over.

"What are you looking at?" The prefect asked. Natsu sighed.

"The sky," Natsu replied. Hibari was quiet. "It reminds me of Tsuna…" The brunette sighed and sat down on Hibari's bed.

"Going to start explaining now?" Hibari half asked, half demanded. Natsu frowned.

"It's actually kind of stupid," Natsu said smiling. "It started over the fact that we went to Italy… Tsuna didn't remember and I said it was because he was mommy's baby boy… I was only teasing him. I guess he took it too seriously. We continued on with an argument and he brought up some… past memories…"

Hibari decided to stay quiet.

"Maybe I should give Tsuna some room, stop babying him… He seems to hate it," Natsu gave Hibari a sad look. "Yeah… I should give him more space…"

Hibari's lips were in a straight line before he frowned. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah… It's probably for the best," Natsu let out a soft sigh.

"Hey… do you love Tsuna?"

Natsu was quiet for a moment, debating whether to tell Hibari or not.

"Yeah… I do."

Xxx

Hey? Are you okay? Why are you crying?

Are you lost? Hey… stop crying. Come on, smile. I'll help you find your brother, okay?

Don't worry, we'll find him. Here, hold my hand, we'll go look together, alright?

So please.

Stop crying.

Xxx

Natsu sighed as he got dressed in a spare uniform Hibari had provided him with. Luckily for him, it fit. Natsu glanced at the window, a soft taping noise sounded against the glass. Opening the blinds widely, Natsu blinked to see a puff of yellow on the windowsill. He smiled softly as he opened the window.

"Natsu~ Natsu~"

"Good morning Hibird, how are you today?" Natsu asked as the bird flew around the room and then perched on his shoulder.

"Good! Good!"

"That's nice to hear," Natsu said. Natsu closed the window and blinds before grabbing his bag and opening the bedroom door to see Hibari standing with his hand seeming as if he were about to knock. Hibari stood there with a frown before noticing the bird perched on the brunette's shoulder.

"Hibari! Hibari!" Hibird hopped onto Hibari's shoulder. Natsu smiled a little.

"So you're going to apologize today?" Hibari asked.

"Yeah…"

Xxx

Never in his life, had Yamamoto seen Tsuna so depressed. Granted he had seen Tsuna unhappy, displeased, and angry (recently) before, but never this upset. That night, they had a hard time getting Tsuna to speak for a while. All he said were short 'yes' 'no' 'thank you' 'sorry' and things like that, barely a complete sentence. Yamamoto hoped the two would work things out sooner or later. Even Gokudera had confronted him that night, asking what they should do about Tsuna. Yamamoto just shook his head and said that they should leave it to two of them to work it out; it would be for the best. If it gets out of hand or something of the sort, then they would step in. In all honesty, Yamamoto believed that the two would work it out somehow.

His wishes were granted when he saw Natsu walking to school with Giotto, Alaude, and Hibari. Immediately, Tsuna looked to the ground and Natsu's eyes narrowed in on his younger brother. Yamamoto furrowed his eyebrows. He hadn't seen Natsu that depressed looking either. What started all of this again? Right. The fact that they went to Italy and Tsuna did not remember? No… maybe it was when Natsu started teasing him…

"Tsuna." Tsuna nearly jumped at the voice of his twin. The evident melancholy hung from every word he said as he continued. "I'm sorry."

Tsuna looked up confused. He thought Natsu would be stubborn and refuse to say anything. When he looked up and made eye contact with his brother, Tsuna felt a pang in his chest. "Na…tsu?"

"I sorry I called you mommy's baby boy," Natsu said softly. "I was wrong. You're all grown up now, aren't you?" Tsuna opened his mouth to say something, but Natsu continued. "You hate being babied by me, right? You probably want some space…" Tsuna looked shocked and almost terrified at Natsu's next few words. "So… I'll keep my distance, okay?"

No! No! Tsuna wanted to shout those words at Natsu, wanting to shake his head and hug his older brother. However, his body would not respond as he watched Natsu smile sadly at him before he walked towards the school, Hibari and Alaude following him. Giotto glanced over at Tsuna for a moment, wondering if he should say anything. No! This wasn't what he wanted! No… Natsu!

Tsuna could only watch the back of his retreating older twin brother before he walked into the school building. No… no!

Xxx

Hello. Are you lost? Don't be scared, I won't hurt you…

Eh? Your brother? What does he look like?

Oh, okay. I'll help you look. Oh, my older brother might know.

Let's go find him to help us, okay?

Come on, stop crying. Here, hold my hand, alright?

Fratello and I don't like it when people cry…

Don't worry, we'll find your brother…

Xxx

Tsuna wanted to cry. He came home to be told that Natsu was moving his belongings to the neighboring bedroom. He was really distancing himself! Natsu had smiled at him and kissed his forehead, saying that was the last time he would going to baby him. That night, Tsuna curled up in his bed, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. Natsu had said that he must have hated being babied. True, but he didn't want to become separated from his brother! He loved his older brother so much that this just broke his heart.

You want space, right?

Not this much space… please don't distance yourself from me…

Tsuna bit his lip, trying to hold back his sniffles. Maybe Natsu was right… maybe he needed more space, if he was always pampered by his brother… he would never mature… He would never be able to be stronger… Tsuna glanced over at the wall that separated the two of them. Yeah… he would become something Natsu would want him to become… a brother he could be proud of…

Their love was not meant to be.

Tsuna's tears wouldn't stop falling.

Neither would Natsu's.
