Sorry for the long wait for an update. Someone close to me recently passed away and I could not exactly write anything angst, or almost anything at all. Hence why I had some random angsty short oneshot stories floating here and there. Writing was hard and I could not do much without breaking down or crying... I am feeling better though, so there's a good thing.

Besides that, I actually wrote half of this last night; but I had archery early this morning, so I needed sleep. So I finished the rest of this in school during lunch break (I finally own a laptopl lol)... Sorry if it is not all that good...

Anyways...

Replies:

animebaka14: I have weird kinks. LOL. By FT... do you mean Fairytail? Because he's not supposed to (i don't even read/watch that series).

Anonymus: In this story, there's going to be a lotlf 7227 so that's mainly dominate... however, this are some pairings I have yet to mention lol. So get ready.

XShagayaku: Lol I liked writing that joke. It was sort of a spur of the moment thing haha. I was tempted to do a follow up of something like...:

"Hey Kyouya, if Namimori was sa bad girl, would you discipline her?"

Natsu watched Kyouya ponder with a thoughtful expression his face. Natsu gagged.

"Fuck. Don't answer that either."

But it isn't all that funny, is it? So I didn't put it haha. As for your question, keep reading to find out!

rachel-chanx3: To tell you the truth, I'd rather not know what kind of girl Namimori would be... *ducks from a flying tonfa*

ezcap1st: Seriously for the cuddling part, I was rather... unsatisfied. I was really tempted to make someone get jumped and... er... I'm just really weird. Glad you liked the joke xD. Whoa! That's a long list (to me), that'll take some time to get through... Thanks for your suggestions!

Mel-Chama: For ONCE? You were against 7227 before? HOW DARE YOU! LOL JKS. It's rather freaky imaging Hibari going out with a girl named Namimori... Just imagine him going out with a building is weird enough (like Namimori middle Hah!) Everyone seems to hate Giotto and that's fine, it was intentional anyways haha

FaerieDemon: With all honesty, I don't know how to characterize HDW!Tsuna LOL. Tsuna's going to get his spotlight soon enough, I'm kind of splitting the characters of focus after a few chapters and we're almost at the Tsuna point!

VirguleAddict: Yay! *hugs* Nope, I didn't stop posting, I just took a little... break... because I wasn't really able to write...

ANYWAYS!

ENJOY THIS CHAPTER (Though it's rather... bleh.) [btw, don't you guys hate it when you're typing something and you're not in the textbox and accidently hit the backspace key and the window goes to the previous page? Then when you press to the page you were writing on, what you wrote isn't saved? DX]

A few days went and gone quite fast as the twins recovered from their little cold. Yamamoto and Gokudera always came by to drop off their homework and Gokudera was, as usual, eager to please and offered tutor the two. Of course, it was… slightly… helpful. Well, that is not including the fact that the two brunettes had no clue what the silverette was droning on about most of the time. Usually, during Gokudera's rants and… er… explanations, the two would glance at each other and shrug. Yamamoto would simply laugh and Gokudera would tell him to shut up and work on the homework because he could not do it when he was at baseball practice.

"Now that I concentrate, this isn't really that hard! Haha! Sweet!" Yamamoto said grinning. Tsuna and Natsu looked at the baseball player with bewildered expressions. The usually oblivious and clueless Yamamoto understood this? It's the apocalypse I say!

When Yamamoto and Gokudera left for the day, Natsu would simply ask his younger brother:

"Did you understand a word he said?"

This was always answered with a simple:

"Nope."

The two would smile at each other. However, the distance Natsu placed between them was getting to Tsuna. Furrowing his brows, he wondered how long it would be until his brother noticed how much longing and depression he was going through for them to return to how they were before… He knew he promised himself that he would be strong for his older brother… however; he could not help but be selfish when it came to his brother. He wanted all of Natsu's attention.

Giotto, on the other hand, was a whole different story. When the two of them returned to school, he was one of the first few to greet them and ask how they were. Natsu did not look very happy with it, but he went with the flow. Tsuna did not know why, but something about the blonde threw him off… made him fall head over heels… similar to how Natsu made him feel, though not as intense.

When Natsu kissed him, his stomach did flips (when they first started at least) and his cheeks would tint and evident red. Depending on how they kissed and where they kissed, Tsuna's breathing would be affected. Tsuna usually lit up to anything that reminded him of brother… Giotto… was strange.

At times when Tsuna saw Giotto, he had this warm feeling spreading throughout his body. When the blonde would smile, it would always affect him to smile as well. It obviously did the opposite effect to Natsu… Tsuna did not understand why his brother felt so angered and peeved when the older boy was around; it bothered him to no ends… Everyone would simply shake their heads and smile sheepishly at him whenever he asked. Tsuna felt so left out…

However, besides that, the distancing had to stop. Tsuna could not handle it! He remembered his brother telling him when they were younger "…Tsuna! You need to be more selfish! You need to speak up for yourself! If not, you won't get what you want! Now, do you want to the teddy or no?" or something like that. In the end, Natsu had sighed and bought him the bear despite the fact Tsuna quietly said no; he knew his brother's expression like the back of his hand. It was now time for him to take what Natsu said and actually do it!

Gulping, Tsuna took a step towards Natsu's room and raised his hand to know. However, his hand froze in place. What if Natsu did not want to listen to him? What if he was going to still keep his distance? Tsuna shook his head and took a deep breath. Natsu would at least listen to him, right? He was his older brother and he was always there for him. There was barely any time that Natsu was not there to listen. Exhaling silently, Tsuna knocked the door.

"Yes?" Was the reply. Opening the door, Tsuna popped his head inside nervously.

"N-Natsu?" Why was he feeling so nervous and scared?

"Tsuna? Need help with homework or something?" Natsu asked. He was reading some random manga while lying on his bed. Natsu sat up and Tsuna opened the door wider while shaking his head. Tsuna shook his head. Natsu's eyes narrowed as he noticed Tsuna's expression. "Tsuna. What's wrong?"

Leave it to Natsu to notice immediately. Fidgeting his fingers, Tsuna gazed down at his feet that were starting to feel cold against the hardwood floor. He suddenly saw another pair of identical feel approached his and then hands gripping his shoulders. "Tell me what's wrong. Now."

"You…," Tsuna whispered. Natsu blinked, taken off guard.

"Me?"

"You're distancing yourself…" Tsuna started to grip the hem of his shirt. "It's like you're leaving me behind… Natsu…!" Tsuna felt like crying and he hugged his older brother. "Natsu! Please don't leave me behind! I'll do anything…so please…!"

He felt Natsu stiffen. "Tsuna…?"

"Please…" Natsu furrowed his brows and ran a hand through his hair.

"So my interpretation was the complete opposite?" Natsu asked. Tsuna said nothing but tightened his hold on Natsu. Smiling softly, Natsu wrapped his arms protectively around his brother. "I'm sorry Tsuna." Tsuna sniffled and Natsu buried his face into his brother's identical brown locks and inhaled his scent. "Come on Tsuna, stop crying… I love you." Tsuna sniffle and looked up at Natsu with watery eyes.

Tsuna smiled and hugged his brother tightly and the two fell backwards on the bed.

Nana found it strange how it was silent upstairs despite the smell of the boys' favourite cooking wafting through the house. Setting down her spatula, she headed upstairs to check up on them. Knocking on Tsuna's bedroom door, she blinked as she heard no response. Not even a snore. Opening the door, she looked inside to see it empty. Nana blinked. Where did her younger son go? She glanced over at the neighbouring bedroom.

"Natsu-kun?" Nana called, knocking on the door. When she heard soft rustling, though no real reply, she opened the bedroom door to see Natsu and Tsuna curled up on the bed, sleeping. Smiling to herself, Nana gently shook them awake.

Blinking sleepily, Tsuna sat up and looked around the room. Natsu groaned in protest and sat up as well, his arms still around his younger brother's waist. "Wuh?"

"Dinner," Nana said. The boys made o's with their mouths and then Natsu caught scent of a very specific odour that went through the house.

"Is that what I think that is?" Natsu asked. Tsuna blinked sleepily and sniffed the air. His eyes immediately lit up and Nana smiled and giggled. The two boys immediately jumped out of bed.

"RACE YOU TSUNA!"

"YOU'RE ON!"

Nana could only laugh and follow after her boys as they bolted down the stairs.
