DISCLAIMER! KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN DOES NOT BELONG TO ME SINCE AMANO AKIRA MADE IT UP!
"What happened Yamamoto?" Tsuna asked shocked and worried seeing the dark red blotch on asked boy's forehead with a few drops of blood trailing down.
"Ahaha, just hit a pole or two on the way here." He said rubbing the back of his head.
"Yamamoto," He heard Gokudera call out. She put four of her fingers from her left hand up in front of his face. "How many fingers am I holding up." Though it didn't sound like a question.
"Umm.. eight?" He hesitantly said while squinting and moving closer to her hand for clearance.
"Heh, figured." Gokudera concluded.
"Eh? What's wrong with Yamamoto? Is he okay? Should I call an ambulance? I can get his dad on the phone as soon as possible." Tsuna said continuously.
Gokudera just blinked a few times before trying to hide a snicker. 'He really does overreact. But that makes him even more cuter!' Her mind squealed a little. "Relax, he just has a minor concussion."
"Is that bad?" Tsuna asked almost panicking.
"No." She simply replied.
"Oh, good. But you must've hit you head pretty hard for it too bleed from hitting two poles." Tsuna said staring at Yamamoto's bruise.
"Five." Gokudera stated.
"Eh?"
"Five. He ran into Five."
"F-Five?! S-shouldn't he be in a hospital now then?!" Though Gokudera just shrugged. Tsuna took Yamamoto by the hand and pulled him outside.
"Eh? Where are we going?" Yamamoto asked.
"To the hospital. Gokudera-kun, are you coming?" Gokudera just sighed and walked to them.
"Well it's nothing serious. Just a bit of a bump." The doctor said using a flash-light like device to look in Yamamoto's eyes. Yamamoto was now sitting on an operation table with Tsuna next to him and Gokudera leaning on the wall next to the door which was located in front of them. "Don't let him sleep and he'll be just fine."
Tsuna sighed hearing his friend would be okay. "Is that all?" He asked.
"Mhm. Only give him water, a lot, and light meals."
"And when can he sleep?" Tsuna asked, watching Yamamoto.
"About noon tomorrow. And don't touch the bandages until you sleep." The doctor advised seeing Yamamoto's hand going to his forehead.
"Haha, sorry." He said and laid his hand back to his sides on the table.
"Alright. Thank you." Tsuna said and bowed.
"No problem at all." He replied and walked out.
"Well, I'll talk to your dad about this and-oh.. right... Your dad went on a cruise." Tsuna said slowly, just remembering. "I'll just call Reborn and ask him if I can stay over by you tonight." And walked to the far side of the room with his phone already by his ear.
"It was pretty fun seeing you a bit loopsy through." Gokudera said as she walked up to him with a smile on her face.
"Haha, probably." He replied.
"Well, I can't come over. Reborn says that I'm getting too twisty... What does that even mean?" He murmured the last part. "And you'll be interfering with his sleep if your up and about by us."
'This isn't going to turn out well for me, is it?'
"Gokudera-kun, I'm really sorry to do this to you but can you watch over Yamamoto till tomorrow? Please?"
'I knew it...'
"I'm sorry but I have no time to babysit." She formally refused.
"Please? I'll make it up to you. Anything, just please until tomorrow." Tsuna pleaded.
Gokudera was a little taken back. "Why are you so anxious?" She asked curious.
"I just want to make sure he's safe. That he's alright." Tsuna replied.
"Why?"
"Because, he's my best friend and we always look out for each other, no matter what." Gokudera was shocked but a small smile, though invisible to the naked eye, found its way to her lips.
"I am a stranger. Are you sure it's okay to trust your precious person to me?" Tsuna wasted no time in nodding his head.
"You're someone Reborn knows and trusts for us to be around, that's more than enough plus, I can tell you won't do anything bad to him."
"And how can you?" She asked.
"I just can." He said and smiled though not soon after it turned into a hurt puppy act. "Please? If you don't," He paused to wipe his eyes. "I don't know what I would do." When Tsuna looked up, Gokudera felt lightning struck dead on her heart as tears fell from Tsuna's eyes and his mouth formed a frown.
'…'
"..." Yup both inside and outside, Gokudera was speechless. Seeing something so cute be hurt like that, how could she resist?! Instead, she just turned on her heel and walked out. But before she could even touch the door, she heard weeping.
'Just ignore it, it's fake after all. Just. Ignore.' Though her thoughts weren't much of a help when she turned the knob, heard wails and a thump. Turning around, she saw Tsuna on the ground, hands covering his face and shaking uncontrollably. '… Argghhhh..'
"...Fine. I'll do it."
"Yes!" Tsuna shouted excitedly and jumped up in victory. All traces of sadness gone. Gokudera just exasperatedly sighed. "Isn't that great, Yamamoto?" Tsuna said, smile full force.
"..."
"Eh? Yamamoto?" Tsuna opened his eyes, saw Yamamoto dozing off and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him roughly. "Yamamoto! Wake up! Don't sleep! Yamamoto!" The tired boy opened his eyes and looked at Tsuna with a smile.
"What's wrong, Tsuna?" He said trying to wake up fully. Tsuna sighed.
"Don't sleep. You can't, the doctor said so." He lectured.
"Haha.. sorry."
'It's only two in the afternoon and you're sleeping...?'
"Anyway, Gokudera-kun's going to be watching over you to make sure you don't fall asleep."
"Really? Thanks!"
'Urgh, I'm getting a headache.'
"Whatever."
They walked up to Yamamoto's house behind the sushi bar. Gokudera looked at Yamamoto, getting impatient after two minutes of standing.
"Well?" She irritably asked.
"Hm?" He asked confused.
"The keys." She said simply.
"Oh." Gokudera rolled her eyes at that, wondering if she could really take over twelve hours of this idiot. An added two minutes of Yamamoto searching left her with a growing migraine. He fisted his right hand and bumped it down to his flatly laid left, remembering something. "They're inside."
Gokudera desperately searched for an outlet around her. Finding none, she breathed and calmed herself. "How can you... Why would you leave your keys inside when you know you were coming back home?" She changed the question when she was about to insult him. "Or why would you lock the door without checking if the keys were on you? No, how did you lock the door without the keys?"
"I didn't lock the bottom." He replied.
"And we can't break in since there's a security system." Tsuna added.
'A security check for a sushi bar?'
"Gokudera-kun? Is there any way he can stay by you?" Tsuna asked.
"No." She simply replied.
"Please? If you don't..." Tsuna sniffed in a way to show he was crying. "I don't know what to do.." Before he could start wailing, she reluctantly agreed.
"Haha." Yamamoto laughed, bringing her annoyance to a higher level.
Gokudera slid the key into the lock and turned it. Hearing and feeling the click, she pulled it out and turned the knob, opening the door and letting Yamamoto go first.
"Nice place." Yamamoto complemented, moving over to sit on the couch. Gokudera just rolled her eyes.
"You can watch TV, the remote is there and help yourself to anything in the kitchen. Do not go into my bathroom or bedroom until I'm back. If you need to go, then do it outside. Do you understand me?" She said, the door open behind her.
"Haha, sure. But where are you going?" He asked.
"Downstairs for a bit." She replied and left. Yamamoto just laid back on the couch and turned on the TV.
Gokudera walked down to the first floor from the third, which is the highest, floor and to the administration office. There she saw Etsuko playing with a yo-yo.
"You can actually be behaved? That's shocking." She said as she went closer to the desk he had his foot up on while he sat in the chair behind it.
"At least I don't strangle kids to death with just a hug." He retorted and stopped his yo-yo when he heard Gokudera.
"Haha, very funny." She said dully with sarcasm lacing. "I need you to do something for me."
"Hmm.. What's in it for me?" He smirked knowing this is only the second time Gokudera ever came to him for a favour, the first of course being to keep her secret; a secret.
She sighed. "What do you want." She asked though didn't came out as a question.
He put his left hand, since his right currently held the yo-yo, and cupped his chin; thinking. "A motorcycle and one hundred dollars." He came to a conclusion.
"Do I look rich to you? And you're too young and inexperienced to have a motorcycle." She replied.
"Then I'll learn."
"How?"
"I know a friend."
She sighed again. "No."
"Okay, how about the motorcycle and ninety bucks."
"No motorcycle and ten dollars." She negotiated.
"Eighty and the motorcycle."
"Twenty and still no."
"Okay, a bike and seventy."
She pause for a while, thinking of the offer and came to the conclusion. "Fine. The bike and fifty dollars. Take it or leave it."
"Deal." He agreed and sat up. "Now what's this favour of yours?" She sighed again at her now growing headache and at Etsuko.
