Chapter 12.1

a/n: this is like a second ver. from the previous one and from the others and different perspective of views.


Tsuna's eyes stared intently at the high ball glass on his hand while his other hand that hold the white clean towel cleaned up the edge of te glass swiftly, leaving no trace of finger prints of speck of dust on it. Sometimes, a soft smiles graced his lips and sometimes a light chuckled been let out too. And the brunet did doing so with the same glass over and over again in his day-dreaming state for quite long time and regained the unwanted attention from his best friends.

Humming slowly to himself, he continue doing so for a couple more minutes. Remembering the event that happened at two days ago.

...

A grand hall of ballroom of the Vongola Group Company building were decorated rather fancy than the usual. Today is the join venture fashion show from several group of company to form a grand show case and will be the grand event of the year.

A stage of the catwalk that just as high as the feet and a half from the floor being polished as shining and as white more than usual too. A spotlight from high above facing the catwalk stage dancing around focusing at nothing. The guest starting to filled up the hall and take their sit that being line up nicely around the catwalk stage for them to take close look to the cloths that will be modeled to them and to the models who modeled them too. The sit for the VIP and celebrities not yet have the occupants on, since they'll likely to arrive a bit late.

In the mean time at the back stage...

"Err.. Renato-san?"

Reborn glance aside, his arms folded nicely at his chest. He leaned slightly at the make-up table facing Tsuna that still being touch up by one of the make-up artist that professionally doing his job for the sake of his life on the line with their boss looking at them very close up with his killing intent filled up the surrounding air and he didn't even know why.

"Hm?" Reborn with one of his eyebrow rise up slightly mentioning that he's all ears, staring at Tsuna intently. The young man silhouette vanished immediately just right after putting some make-up on and turned into a nice and beautiful feminine facade with long brown wig reaching his hips to match with the cloths he will be wearing and showing at the runway really make Reborn's heart uneasy.

'What the...heck is this!' the fedora weared muttered angrily, in silent.

"Just to let you know, this is the one and only time I will be wearing this kind of cloths and put this disgusting make-up on." Tsuna said bluntly and straight to Reborn face ignoring the make-up artist that being flushed the passing minutes by applying the make-up thing on his face.

The protest brushing Reborn's ears like some melody making him let out a small chuckles. And Tsuna, hearing the chuckles from Reborn sending an angry glare to the said handsome man very face that become more handsome to his eyes with that cunning smirk decorated his features make him become more annoying and stunning at the same time.

"I understand." The only reply he gave while Tsuna just let out a heavy sigh at it.

"Did you really understand?"

"I do."

"What a liar..." Tsuna's mumbling while staring at his own reflection at the mirror in front of him with wide open and unbelievable eyes.

"I'm not, and that's the truth."

"Fine then," Tsuna wince a little when his eyes hurt with the orange contact lens that oddly suited him and heavy colored eye-shadow also with fake eyelashes attached to them make him want to rub them but stopped by the make-up guy that still want to touch-up the remaining make-up here and there, "I really hope that you really do, Renato-san."

"I said that I did, Tsuna. And just call me Reborn, will you?"

"Why?" Tsuna eyed him suspiciously.

"No reason, just because everyone use it?" Reborn flicked the corner of his eyes at Tsuna that shivered at that.

"Umm.." Tsuna said hesitantly, "I'll think about it." With that he closed his eyes, missed the amused stare from Reborn.

"Take all the time you need, Tsunayoshi."

Tsuan snapped his eyes open when heard his full name being said quiet tenderly and find nobody on the spot that Reborn occupied before. Feels the warmth rose to his cheeks, he take a deep breath and close his eyes again to calm his chest that being pounded rather heavily from that moment.

'This is bad for my heart.'

...

"And now, we brought to you this Autumn Collections design by..."

While hearing the announce from the MC for their company and collection and whatsoever, Tsuna closed his eyes to calmed himself down. Despite being the last model, he can felt his legs shaking due to nervousness. This is his first time after all, dressed in rather eye-catching and uncomfortable cloths of all. Silently he cursed the certain man for making him or rather forcing him wearing such an embarrassing outfit. That's why he stood a bit far behind all the supermodels that being the model for all the cloths that representing their respectful designers. Wanted nothing more than to hide away and blend to the white walls beside him and disappear at the moment...

"Tsu..na...?"

The trailed of voice behind startled him and make all of his nervous send flying over to somewhere and he very thankful for that. Slowly, he turn around and widened his eyes at unusually handsome Kyoya with his dark purple suit with light purple undershirt that being unbuttoned from his chest up revealed his bare pale skin for all to stare. For a few moment, they were just stared at each other intently. Adoring each others appearance.

"Kyoya, you're so handsome in that suit. It's very suited you, like, really...you know." Tsuna can't help but adored his best friend. A sweet smiles decorated the rose colored lips sending a flushed to Kyoya's face.

"Hn." All Kyoya manage to say, still adoring the cute appearance of his friend that he always look up to. And if he can, he want to hide Tsuna with his outfit so nobody can see this side of him, and the other side of him want everyone to look and adore him until they found out that that person behind such attractive appearance is actually a man and quiet cute at that.

...

Hibari and Mukuro that stood side by side (surprisingly not biting each other at the moment) glued their attention to the day-dreamily brunet that been like some girl that fell in love while emitting a lovely aura around him quiet thickly at that. Surprisingly, they just keep their eyes at the happy-go-lucky brunet without any intention to break the said lovely facade he's emitting at the moment.

Hibari knows what the cause of the brunet strange (at his opinion) behavior and the raven very much detest it deep down his heart. But he just keep his cool despite all of the angry and jealousy and at the same time sad turmoil been add and come out a strange result that he quite happy to see Tsuna smiling and happy face at the moment. Unfortunately, he rather keep his feeling at the bay, swaying with softly humming lovely song inside his closed chest.

In other hand, Mukuro's get quiet curious at his behavior. He know that Hibari too still wondering what the cause for such action. Feels want to ask the brunet so badly that it hurts himself just because his legs like being nailed at the wooden floor and refuse to move at his will. Singing silently to himself, he peered towards Hibari that still stood by his side looking intently at Tsuna with his sharp grey eyes narrowed slightly mentioning that he too wanted to wipe out that happy face for someone else other than himself.

'Quite selfish are we?.' Mukuro mumbled silently. Heard by nobody.
