Hello? Okay, I just thought of ending my hiatus, first, because I need refreshment from my study, second, thanks to Mockingjay Rose's roleplay! It cheered me up! So, it would be nice if you paid a visit or joined it! Here's the link: forum/KHR-Roleplay-canon-characters-only/117464/
I've also edited the 1-3 chapter. Dunno if the grammars are better thought. And I'm happy to know that we have the same feeling. Let's just hope that Amano-sensei will make a better story later. So, let's start.
Disclaimer: I do not own KHR. If I were, Tsuna would be boasting his power and postion to his classmates
"So, he was serious this morning? But . . . He knows about the phobia . . . then why . . ." Unconsciously a drop of tear rolled down her cheek. She backed away slowly and then she ran as fast as she could. She kept bumping on people but she didn't even spare them a glance, she kept running to the rooftop.
When she arrived she slammed the door open and closed it with the same force. She rested her back against the door, panting, she slid down slowly to sit; she folded her legs to her chest and rested her head on her knee. She cried and sobbed, she gripped her legs hard to stop her hands trembling.
"Juudaime/Tsuna?" She heard her friends' voice. They sound worried, thus, she quieted down a little, not wanting to worry her friends. She wiped her tears using the back of her hand and smiled tiredly at them.
"Sorry to startle you" Gokudera and Yamamoto exchanged worried look.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Gokudera asked worriedly. Tsuna stood up, still staggering and shaking a little, and shook her head.
"No, nothing, I'm fine" she said. Of course they could see through such obvious lie.
"But you-" before Yamamoto could form another word he was silenced by a pained look from Tsuna, she looks like she's in the brink of crying her eyes out. So, they didn't sue further and ate with silence.
After school, they went to an arcade to cheer Tsuna up. After getting tired from playing they went to Yamamoto's house to eat sushi. Realizing the time, which is dark already, Yamamoto chided them to go home, it's not that they're being a hassle, it just they need to go home. Gokudera nodded in agreement while Tsuna looked worried.
"What's wrong Tsuna? You don't want to go home?" Yamamoto asked. Tsuna looked nervous for a while.
"Umm . . . Ya-Yamamoto can I ask you a favor?" she said timidly. Yamamoto blinked and grinned.
"Sure! What is it?" he asked. Tsuna looked up to him.
"Can I stay for the night?"
Silence. . .
"EH?" They both exclaimed with wide eyes. Yamamoto scratches his cheek nervously.
"Eto . . . It's not that I don't want you here but Reborn might be worried sick about you." Tsuna subdued her head. She knows she's being stubborn and egoistic but, she doesn't want to go home, she's too scared. When they were at the rooftop, she cried because she felt betrayed by Giotto, she had thought of him as her older brother figure. But now she doesn't want to go home because of the phobia. She sighed and finally agreed to go home.
Gokudera and Yamamoto walked her back, it was bad for a girl to walk home herself at night. When she arrived in front of her gate, they excused themselves and disappear in the dark. She faced her house for a few minutes. She sighed and slowly went in. She opened the door a little and peek inside, she saw a pissed Hitman and a worried blonde. She gulped and went in, she closed the door with a small 'click' and turned to face them, she notices Reborn's hands is in his pocket, suspiciously near his gun. She mentally readied herself for the upcoming interrogation slash torture.
"Speak. Depending on your answer, you will face hell or torture" Reborn said. Tsuna sweat bullets.
"I-Isn't that the same?" she squeaked.
"Tsuna-chan where did you go?"Giotto asked worriedly. Tsuna suddenly found the floor interesting. She feels very nervous, scared, and sad right now. She felt like bursting into tears because the wave of anxiousness in her chest felt like tsunami washing all over her, but she hold it in.
Giotto blinked "Tsuna-chan?"Tsuna, not wanting to stay here any longer, spoke.
"I went with Gokudera and Yamamoto to an arcade and went to Yamamoto's house, we lost track of time and finally went home. I'll be going upstairs now I'm tired" She ran upstairs, or at least tried. Reborn stretched his hand and caught the brunette on her tummy.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked calmly but dangerously. He's still angry at her for going home late, he wanted to interrogate her more but he felt Tsuna shaking slightly. His anger slowly turn into worry, thus, he averted his question. "Have you eaten dinner yet?" Tsuna nodded.
"At Yamamoto's house. Reborn please let go" she pleaded, her shaking become unbearable by the second. Hence, he let go of her. She immediately sprinted upstairs.
"Tsuna-chan. I wonder what happened . . ." They stood there in silence for a few good second. Suddenly, Reborn punched Giotto in the gut, successfully slammed him on the wall behind him. Giotto groaned in pain and sit up. Reborn pulled out his gun at point it at the blonde's head.
"What did you do, idiot?" He said with murderous intent. Giotto looked up.
"What the hell?! I didn't do anything!" he exclaimed.
"Then why is she shaking? Did she meet Xanxus?" Reborn asked calmly but somehow his tone carried threats with it. Giotto shook his head.
"I don't know. And I think that's impossible since I stopped Xanxus before he could step out of the building" Reborn put his gun back in his pocket.
"Hn. Then I'll talk to her" Giotto perked up.
"Eh? Me too!" he exclaimed.
"NO" Giotto flinched and tch-ed.
"Why not?"
Reborn shrugged and went upstairs. Giotto scowled (pouted). He finally decided to leave it to him and went to his room. 'It's just like my first day here' he mused in his mind.
~With Reborn~
Reborn stood in front of a certain brunette's room. He knocked the door a few time and met with silence. He sighed.
"I'm going in, okay?" he said and met with silence again. Reborn took that as yes and went in.
The room is dark as Tsuna didn't light her room. He notices Tsuna lying on the bed, facing the wall, hence Reborn doesn't know wether she's crying or not. He lights the room, close the door and lean on it.
"What's wrong, Tsuna?" He asked with worried tone. Tsuna stirred and got up.
"Reborn! What should I do?" she asked with teary eyes. Reborn have to restrain himself from pouncing on the brunette, since she looks like a lost puppy that beg for a hug.
"What happened this time?" He asked. Tsuna looked down, reluctant to answer. There is only silence for a few minutes. Reborn sighed.
"You know I can't give you any advice if I don't know what happened dame-Tsuna" he said in an exasperated tone. Tsuna still looks hesitant
"But please don't tell anyone especially Giotto" Tsuna said finally.
'So, it's really about that blonde idiot, huh' he thought while nodding to reassure Tsuna.
"Reborn, Giotto knows about the phobia, right?" she received a nod" B-But he . . . he still. . . Why . . ." she couldn't finished her sentence, she merely looked down with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"He loves you" Reborn finished and Tsuna nodded, still looking down.
"W-What should I do Reborn?" She asked miserably. Reborn just stared her. If you squint both of your eyes you will see anger in his black orbs. He hate to see Tsuna like this, he mentally note to torture that blonde later.
"How do you feel about him?" he asked.
"I-I'm S-Scared, I'm worried. What if I hurt him? I-I can't be in love with him. I-It's impossible. He knows about that y-yet he . . . he . . ." she ranted but she still couldn't finish her last sentence. She grasped her blanket, hoping it would ease her feeling a bit. Reborn clenched his fist and scowled hard. How dare that guy make Tsuna miserable where I'm the only one allowed! Not that he'll make her. He really want to come closer to the brunette and cover her with a bear hug but God knows what he will do if he comes closer to the despairing brunette. "Tsuna . . . Stop crying" It hurt me too he added silently.
"B-B-But I-I-"her voice trembled, not knowing what to say. "I-I'm a B-Bitch, I-I'm a slut, I-I'm irresponsible, b-because of me Giotto have to suffer-"Before she could say more curse to herself, she found herself in a warm embrace. "Re-Reborn?" she asked.
Reborn's self restrain snapped when he heard Tsuna curse about herself. He immediately hugs the brunette to comfort her. "NO, you're not any of what you say" he denied.
"B-But-"
"Shh. Its fine "he cut her off. After a while Tsuna calmed down and felt comfortable.
"Thank you" she said.
"You're welcome"
Soon Tsuna fell asleep. Reborn smiled warmly seeing Tsuna's peaceful face. He lied her down, blanketed her and went out.
The next morning, Tsuna woke up early again, thanks to the nice sleep she had. She stood up and went to take shower. Then she wore her uniform. Half-way done with her shirt the door to her room opened, the person who opens it is no other than Reborn himself. Thank god she already wore her skirt, but you could still see her bra. Hence, she immediately grasped her front shirt to cover it.
Reborn was dumbfounded when he saw Tsuna still half-way wearing her uniform and her bra was showing; he only saw a little thought, since she cover it the next second. Thanks to his good reflex he quickly put on a stoic expression. Tsuna blushed beet red.
"W-what a-are y-y-you d-doing h-h-here?" she asked as she stumbled on each word. Reborn tipped his fedora downwards to cover his eyes, and probably his blush.
"I just want to wake you up" he said nonchalantly "No need to worry. I'm not interested to see your small boobs" a total lie. He turned around and closed the door behind him. "THEN DON'T SEE!" she shouted. "Geez, that guy!"
Reborn heard Tsuna shout. He pocketed his hands. "Good luck in the morning" he said with a smirk. He went downstairs in search of a certain blonde. To his surprise the person isn't in the kitchen yet. He shrugged 'maybe he overslept'. Soon Tsuna appeared.
"Where's Giotto?" she asked with an uncomfortable expression. Reborn shrugged again and took a seat.
"Dame-Tsuna I want espresso" he demanded. Tsuna complied, not wanting to have any trouble with the Hitman in the morning.
"Here you go" she said as she served the drink. Reborn took a sip.
"Not bad" another total lie. He really like the brunette's espresso, it's the best espresso he ever tasted.
Tsuna, unexpectedly, blushed. She suddenly felt very embarrassed 'W-What is this feeling?' she asked herself.
"What kind of feeling?" Reborn asked, reading her thought. Tsuna blushed more, almost redder than a tomato.
"N-Nothing" she said and started to make breakfast. Reborn suddenly stood up.
"Reborn? Where're you going?" she asked. Reborn walked casually pass her. When they intersected he ruffled the brunette's hair.
"I have some works to do" which limited my time with you he continued in mind. He felt a tug on his sleeve. He turned around to see a cutely blushing Tsuna. By now you could see a tiny tint of pink on Reborn's cheeks.
"What?" he asked in an annoyed tone to hide his embarrassment 'She's so cute dammit!'
Tsuna on the other hand is trying to come up with an excuse. 'Why the hell am I tugging his sleeve?' she asked herself. She had no idea why she even did that. Somehow she doesn't want Reborn to leave. She also has this strange feeling of embarrassment but happy around him.
"N-Nothing" Reborn was about to ask her more but the blonde idiot decides to make appearance in the worst timing ever!
"Tsuna-chan sorry! I overslept! "He jumped from the doorway and apologized. Tsuna immediately let go of Reborn while the latter rolled his eyes inwardly 'Give it to this blonde idiot to interrupt the nice moment'. Tsuna on the other hand sighed in relief.
"What are you two doing by the way?" Giotto suddenly asked, noticing the small distance between the two. If you look into his eyes you will see an immense jealousy. And being the greatest Hitman he is, Reborn notices it.
"Why should you care?" he asked, snorting. Tsuna, sensing a fight is about to erupt via hyper intuition, cut them.
"How about we eat breakfast? I don't want to get bitten to death by Hibari-san you know" she said, not looking into Giotto's eyes. They begrudgingly complied.
Okay! That's all for now! The next chapter will be the last chapter. I hope you look forward to it. Review please!
