Note: Something a little different this time.

They were ruining his boy, giving him hope and friendship to depend on. Others were beginning to notice him as well and see his shining light.

All those years of cultivating that timid nature and weak resolve slipping through his fingertips. He should be the one getting those warm smiles and hearing that happy laugh. He should be the only one receiving hugs of gratitude and shy kisses on the cheek.

Sitting in a café he barely batted an eyelash as the object of his thoughts walked in with his friends. Brown eyes alight with laughter and a smile permanently fixed on his face. His rage simmered just underneath his skin as cheeks blushed a becoming red when one of them said something in his ear. The rowdy group continued to be loud as they waited for their order. A hint of pride swelled in his chest that his boy was still somewhat timid as he wasn't as loud as the rest of them.

Just before they left brown looked up and saw him. There was a smile and a wave in his direction before his friends herded him out the door calling out for his attention.

Face still impassive he continued on as if nothing had happened. He stayed for another fifteen minutes to finish his tea and sandwich. Having already paid for his meal he left. It wasn't until he was inside the safety of his own home that a smirk crossed his lips.

"I may not be too late. Plans must be made to bring my boy home to me."

"Tsu-kun, can you run to the store real quick and get a gallon of milk and some bananas?" Nana asked her son as he came down the stairs.

"Sure Mom. I'll be right back." Tsuna walked out the door and pulled out his phone. He sent a text to Hayato that he was running an errand for his mother and would meet at his apartment right after.

Putting away his phone, Tsuna quickly made his way to the market. A gallon of milk, bananas and a treat to share with his friends later, Tsuna walked out of the store. Just as he turned the corner, he bumped into someone and was just barely able to keep his balance.

"I'm so sorry." Tsuna apologized looking up at the person he had run into and blanched at seeing Mochida. "Uh ..Mochida-senpai."

The fuzzy headed senior stared down at the brunette. Tsuna started getting nervous when those eyes continued to stare into his own. With a sigh, Mochida rubbed his head and looked to the side.

"Hey Sawada. I been thinking about things and back in middle school I wasn't all that nice to ya. So… I know it's kinda late but... 'm sorry."

Tsuna gapped as he had never thought this day would come. When the silence stretched a little too long Mochida turned to the younger and saw him jump.

"I ain't gonna hurt ya if that's what you're thinking."

With a quick shake of his head Tsuna unleashed his full smile, unaware of its effects.

"No I'm just really happy. I forgave you a long time ago Mochida-senpai and I am glad you decided to change."

A faint blush spread across Mochida's face and he couldn't help but give his own smile at Tsuna's happiness.

"You wanna have tea or something? I still feel like I should make up for all that stuff I did."

"Oh...I'd like to but I'm already meeting some friends today. Maybe we can meet up sometime next week and have lunch?" Tsuna asked already moving around him to head back to his mom's house.

"Sure Sawada."

It was then Tsuna's intuition screamed at him but a little too late as his vision went dark.
