"His brother."

Giotto has lost his count by how many times that words plays in his mind like a broken cassette tape. He keep swaying his knife and occasionally twirling it between his fingers, looking with blank eyes towards the warm French toast for his breakfast. Of course he's hungry, but it seems the alluring sweet smell of his French toast isn't enough to catch his interest right now from something that keeps haunting his mind since then.

"Gio-nii?"

That angelic voice of his brother successfully wakes him up from his mind and look up at his brother who's sitting across him, "Yes, Tsuna?"

"Gio-nii, you didn't listen to what I've said earlier, right?"

"E-Eh? You said something? I'm sorry, I didn't listen to it." Giotto apologized to his brother in front of him, while Tsuna just pouted and trying to send a glare to the older one, "I'm sorry, Tsuna. Can you repeat it again?"

"Forget it."

A long sigh escaped from his peach colored lips as he flipped the page of the comic book he read while laying on the soft bed of his, the sun is still burning people with its' intensive rays – so Giotto decided that it would be good to just goof around in his room doing something. No, today is not Sunday or any weekends – today is Thursday, and Giotto's campus is giving them a 'holiday' while they repair the campus' building where half of it is nothing but a ruin.

They said, that is was from a bomb yesterday night.

Sure, Giotto and the citizen of Namimori heard the loud sound from the campus, and it was a chaos then.

And, there are few people that don't believe a bomb strikes their campus, but the people who believe it are also not very few of them.

Believe it or not – but, what else is there that can destroy half of the building besides a bomb?

Giotto shook his head and glanced at the mountain of comic books besides him, reading a ton of his favorite comic books isn't enough to get rid of his boredom. He sighed and gets up from his bed to place the book he read a few moments ago to the stacks. Then Giotto looked up to the clock on the wall and muttered; "Twelve…" Before he gets out from his room to search for food downstairs.

When he arrived in the kitchen, he blinked when he saw Nana stuffing her wallet and other things into a pink bag, "Shopping?"

Nana flinched a bit suddenly and turned around to see her oldest son standing at the door, "Yes. I received a call from one of my shopping friends that there's a huge sell at the town."

"Okay then, be careful." Giotto walks towards the fridge and opens the door, Giotto's shoulders relaxed when the cold air strikes him, "Is there anything you want, Gio?"

"Maybe some cake will do."

"All right." And with that Nana leaves through the front door. Giotto grabs a cup of ice cream and also a small spoon that he always uses for dessert and all. Then he closed the fridge's door with his feet and walks calmly towards the living room while remembering some anime that the pink haired man, also known as his best friend, recommended to him a few days ago. Well, actually anime successfully catches his interest – mostly because of his little brother though.

Giotto clicked the close button on a remote and the DVD player's lid closed slowly, while waiting for the anime to be played, he moves to find a comfortable position on the couch. Giotto eats his chocolate flavored ice cream normally when there's a scene of a bunch of people were eaten and killed with their blood splattering everywhere by a creature called 'Elder Brain'. Giotto admit it, this anime is cool. He silently thanked G for recommended this to him.

But the fun stopped for a while when he heard little footsteps following after a sound a door being opened and closed with a quite force that its slammed to the wall. Before he can see the person who just came in to his house, his body being tackled down to the couch.

"Gio-nii!"

"Tsu-Tsuna?!" Giotto was taken back when his brother who's supposed to be at school now is here hugging him, Giotto took a chance to glanced at the wall clock across him, ; 12:15 AM. Tsuna giggled while continue to hug his brother, "Tsuna, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at school now."

"Ah, well, I want to give you this as soon as possible." Tsuna keep a distance between them and reached out to his pocket and pulled out a ticket-looking-paper. Giotto took it from his hand and observing it – it says; Namimori School Festival.

"School Festival? The day after tomorrow?"

Tsuna nodded firmly. Giotto smiled and hugs Tsuna tightly – silently thanked himself that he finished his ice cream before Tsuna came and tackled him down, if not, the chocolate ice cream would be spilled on the floor and it will be a hassle to clean that up, "Thank you, Tsuna. I'll definitely come." Then he pats his brother's fluffy haired head.

"Really?!"

Giotto nodded.

"But –"

"Eh?"

"Why there's only one ticket? What about Mom?" Tsuna blinked a few times before his face and ears flushed deep red. Giotto just can tilted his head seeing his cute little brother acting like that, mouthing incoherent words and trying to avoid eye contact with a blush on his face.

"T-That's because I want to be with you – just the two of us. Be-Besides, this is for the first day, it's limited to the person we gave the ticket to. The second day is open for public… So… I think it's a good idea…"

Giotto pulled Tsuna into a deep kiss without thinking of anything, when they parted, a string of saliva connected them before it snaps, "Why are you always doing something that makes me happy…" Mumbled Giotto when he hugs Tsuna.

"Huh?"

"Nah, it's nothing."

[Katachi no nai kimochi wasurenai you ni~

Kimari kitta layout wo keshita~]

They blinks their eyes when heard a sing coming from somewhere.

"Uh... Tsuna – it's probably your phone."

"Oh? Right... I forgot I change the ringtone." Tsuna takes a distance between them and sits beside Giotto who's trying to get up from the couch, reaching his pants pocket to find out who;s calling him, [Futo kichizu sanda phrase - ]

"Ye-Yes?"

[Oi, No-Good-Tsuna! What takes you so long just to buy a can of paint?! We really need it right now!]

Giotto who overheard the conversation sharpened his gaze at the 'nickname' the person on the phone said to his beloved little brother.

"Ye-Yes! I-I'm sorry! I'll buy it right now!" Shrieked Tsuna in panic before cuts the phone line, he let out a long sigh escaped from his mouth and looks deeply into Giotto's azure blue eyes, "I- I have to go back, we're still preparing for the School Festival."

"Tsuna."

"Ye-Yes?"

"Be careful," Tsuna smiled and nodded, "By the way, since when do you like Vocaloid?"

"Ehehehe~" Tsuna giggled and kissed Giotto softly on the cheek then dashed out from there with a blushing face. Giotto was once again taken back by his brother's action towards him, he brought his hand up and touch the kissed cheek. It's warm. His heart also full with a warmth he always receive from Tsuna.

"Tsuna..."

...

Namimori Middle School Festival

...

Giotto checks his looks for the last time before he visits Tsuna's school to fulfill his promise to come to the Festival. His orange shirt wraps his well build body, a black vest with the buttons undone and sleek black pants fit perfectly with him. He nodded with a smile and walks downstairs to meet his mother – and there he found her, sitting on a couch in the living room while knitting something.

"I'm going, Mom. Is there's anything you want, just call me – I'll buy it for you on the way home."

"Alright. Have fun, Gio."

After putting his sleek black shoes on, he opens the front door and closes it with a soft click. He inhale the fresh air outside and pulls out his black touchscreen phone, it's the same as Tsuna, just a color difference between them.

[Gio-nii, if you arrive at my school, just come to my class at the second floor. I'm sorry I can't pick you up, I have to help the others – my class opened a café :D !

-Tsuna]

Giotto smiled when seeing the text his brother send him.

…

Giotto comes out from his black sports car that he parked not far away from the School's front Gate. His strands of golden hair swaying around by the spring breeze, he closes his car's door and push a button in his car's key – the sound of door being locked can be heard after.

And.

Please don't ask where he obtains that fancy black sports car.

"Whoa… He's so handsome…"

"Oh God… is that Giotto-sama?!"

"Giotto-sama!"

"Kyaaaahh! Giotto-sama please notice me!"

Giotto shook his head and enter the school area calmly without bothering to respond to the bitches who are trying to catch his interest. Please, Giotto isn't that type of man. He has a high pride inside. When he successfully enters the building, he glanced at his surroundings – looking for stairs up to his brother's class, but it seems it's quite hard to find with all this people and stalls around. Giotto sighed and decided to ask a girl that walks towards the opposite direction as him.

"Excuse me, may I ask where the stairs are that lead to class 2A?"

"Oh, it's over there," She pointed at the end of the hall, "Turn left and you'll find the stairs. It should be easy to find 2A classroom, its located at the end of the second floor hall."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome." She gives Giotto a small smile and continues to walk. Giotto smiled too and thanked that he didn't ask the wrong person. If the person is like the other bitches – he'll be dead for sure, well, his ears foremost. But somehow, that girl's brown red-ish hair is somehow reminding him of someone he knew. Oh well… he decided to shrug that off and begins to go to the stairs that the girl told him.

…

Giotto sweat dropped when he saw a super long line of people in front of Tsuna's class. A few students with various maid costumes are keeping the people staying in line. What makes Giotto sweat drop more is when a few girls peeked inside through the window – even though half of it is covered by white curtains.

"Yamamoto-kun!"

"Gokudera-kun!"

"OH MY GOD! He looks at me!"

Giotto took a few steps back by the loud squeals of the fangirls in the line, well, of course there are boys too in the line – but they're busy clicking their camera's shutter button. As expected from boys. Giotto knows this is what they called by; curiosity kills the cat. But, hey! He wants to know more about the thing happened inside. And that's when someone grabs his arm.

"Giotto-sama?!"

'Oh God…'

"U-Umm, this is class 2A… right?" The girl who grabs his arm nodded frantically, "Yes it is! Giotto-sama, did you want to enter?! Please go ahead!"

"E-Eh… I feel bad for those who waiting –"

"We're fine, Giotto-sama!"

And his back was pushed by someone and stumbled a few steps. The desks and chairs are arranged neatly with soft pink table cloth, the atmosphere around feels soothing with the soft colored decoration in there. Giotto admits that they did a good job with this.

"A table for one?" Giotto nodded, "This way please." Giotto followed the maid and sits on the table at the corner of the room right beside the window.

"Please wait a minute; one of our waitresses will bring you the menu." Giotto smiled and that maid goes back to the entrance to welcome another customer and guide them to the available seats.

"Sorry for waiting, this is the menu."

Giotto averted his gaze from the window and found –

"Tsuna?!"

In a maid outfit.

A/N;

I'm sorry.

Recently… there's a tall wall called Art's and Writer's Block in front of me. No matter how hard I try, what I draw and write it feels… wrong. I don't know why but – it's wrong. It never turns out the way I want it to. When I open a blank white paper (Ms. Word included) my hands freeze and my fingers won't move. I'm sorry, I caused you all trouble.

I feel… something is missing inside me.

I feel… useless.

I'm sorry. But I'll try to overcome that. So… Please wait for me again.

Thank you.
