"You've been itching to do something so here is your mission, Reborn." The brunet with spiky hair sitting behind an expensive and beautiful mahogany desk spoke. His amused voice echoed in the confine of the four cornered office room. Calloused long fingers received the file handed with graceful professionalism but the dark obsidian eyes betrayed the amusement that was his true emotion about the mission itself.

The brunet saw it all that he couldn't help but let out a snort, knowing that his advisor would use the mission given as a way to cause chaos wherever he went.

However, there was still an unpleasant feeling coming from within. As if the other heard his sudden downturn of thought, there was a flick on his forehead that he let out a yowl before rubbing the sore spot then yelled with no heat, "What was that for, Reborn?!" A relieved smile played on his lips. It was so like Reborn to do something like this when he was worried.

"You're worrying, Dame-Tsuna." The rich Italian voice of his tutor spoke that his cheeks redden both from the voice. Meanwhile, his heart skipped a bit and the unpleasant feeling were replaced with fluttering that it does things to his stomach.

He had to turn his head away so the hitman couldn't see his effect on him when he answered.

"Of course I am."

There was an amused chuckle that reverberated inside the room that he couldn't help but turn towards the source and see his crush chuckling at his own expense that he couldn't help but hide his face on his hand.

He tried to calm his racing heart but it seemed it was still intent on winning a tournament because it only got faster.

The brunet straightened his back before facing his tutor once again. Only to see, black and so warm eyes and a handsome smile directed to him. If cupid did exist he must have been hit with multiple arrows at that moment because all he could imagine was those same eyes staring only at him.

Reborn is really so handsome.

I could continue looking at his beautiful eyes and be in his strong arms all day long.

Tsuna had to forcefully cough in his hand to dislodge the romantic scene dancing on his mind and to halt his enthusiastic imagination. But it didn't erase the red hue from blossoming on his cheeks and for his heart to beat faster it changed location next to his ears.

His friends were right; he was far in too deep could never get out even if he scratched with tooth and nails. Not like he had thought of trying because he loves Reborn with all his heart. Reborn wasn't only attractive but his chaos-inducing personality and their deep understanding of each other makes him fall in love deeper. Reborn stayed by his side through thick or thin ever since and had accepted his proposal to be his advisor.

His thoughts soon wandered when he would have the gut to ask for a marriage proposal in the future. Tsuna asking for Reborn's hand and the other saying yes would be a dream comes true. He could already hear the wedding bells, and maybe Reborn would agree for both of them to wear white wedding gown with orange and yellow adornment.

Thump thump thump.

And there went his face heating up that there was steam coming from him and the red hue climbed until the tip of his ears.

"Oy, Tsuna." Rich voice of his advisor spoke his name, there was a grumble quality to it that he didn't mind – and the brunet had to blink his eyes back to the reality. Only to see that Reborn was facing him in a close proximity and Tsuna could clearly see those beautiful obsidian eyes up close that he stared mesmerized on the handsome being in front of him.

He could see worry on those eyes, that he couldn't help but give a loving smile to the other and unconsciously reach for Reborn's bouncy side curls, fingers delicately touching it and subconsciously knowing that he would be reprimanded for touching Reborn's precious curls in any second now. But he didn't care. He wanted to show what he was feeling on his gaze, his smile and his touch even if he hadn't spoken the words yet.

…I love you, Reborn.

Surely, someday he would say his confession but now it was still in his head and still unheard.

The raven haired man remained standing, letting Tsuna's fingers touch his curls, unwilling to break this moment between them by retaliating as he watched transfixed on the brunet's caramel brown eyes that had glowed with orange hue.

I will be waiting for you, Tsuna.

Time ticked away between them as if this precious and beautiful moment had been frozen. However, Reborn breaks it when he pulled back, free hand rested on his fedora then he tilted slightly to hide his eyes from view and with an amused voice he spoke, "I better be going now Tsuna, to finish this mission." His amusement on the chaos he would spread palpable on his tone that the brunet couldn't help but pull back his hand and let out an exasperated laugh.

It reminded Tsuna to focus on the now instead of daydreaming, there would be time when he could make his daydream a reality once he get courageous enough to confess.

"Please don't cause too much chaos, or the paperwork would be unbearable."

Tsuna reminded grumpily as per routine, knowing that his tutor wouldn't heed his warning. There was no answer from his remark, a sign that his tutor would stay true to himself and not listen to him as per usual but the brunet could sense there was fond amusement on his advisor's visage.

The brunet slumped on his chair as if fed up but both of them knew this was all for show.

Reborn snorted at his action then he turned back, heading towards the door and to finish the mission as soon as he can while creating chaos against the small time Famiglia that dared voice out their opposition of the Vongola's way of returning to the old ways.

At that moment that his tutor turned on his back, the fluttering happiness at the pit of his stomach were replaced by ice that the brunet immediately stood up, panicked and worried stance replaced his relaxed body as he called out, "Wait!"

Without waiting for the raven haired to stop, Tsuna bolted from his position and grabbed Reborn's sleeves to stop the other from going.

Reborn on the other hand had paused when the brunet had called him out and next thing, his student had gripped on the hem of his sleeve at the same time he turned for confirmation.

Tsuna's eyes were wide and his mouth hang agape at what he had done, but he ignored it in inspecting why he had reacted badly upon seeing Reborn left. It made him notice the buzzing of his hyper intuition had been there ever since he handed the mission file and now it had gotten louder that he couldn't ignore it.

"I-I'm," The brunet started but he pulled back when he saw dark eyes staring at him in worry. "Something is wrong, Reborn." He finally admitted.

Tense silence surrounded them, taking the happiness and love that had both surrounded them earlier. Tsuna's caramel eyes were directly staring on black obsidian eyes. Reborn could see worry for him etched on those eyes and face with clarity and he couldn't help his lips from quirking slightly into an understanding smile as he caressed Tsuna's cheek affectionately. "Stop worrying, Tsuna."

Tsuna couldn't help but lean onto the touch and his beating heart slowly calmed at the reassuring action of his advisor.

Then there was a flick on his forehead but it was merely a smack that there wasn't pain on it. It was Reborn's way of a reminder. "Don't fuss too much, Dame student of mine, did you forget you can track and contact me anytime?"

The brunet made a face but he gripped Reborn's sleeve tighter. "I didn't... Just please take care, Reborn." There was still a tense line on his shoulder, his eyes still filled with worry.

Reborn snorted at the brunet's answer, a way to say that he knew Tsuna had forgotten once again. Then with a loving and assuring gaze on his eyes said in lieu of answer to the latter words, expression set in a self-assurance and belief that he would return without fail. "I will return before you know it." Tsuna's stared on those eyes seeing the message that his worry receded from his gaze and returned within. The brunet let go of the hitman's hem with a nod and a genuine smile, warm eyes telling that he believed Reborn's words.

Reborn gave a pat on the brunet's hair before he turned and left.

Please be safe, Reborn…

A/N: When Tsuna is lowkey hopeless romantic like his mother, Nana.
