Yosh! So this is my first 8059 fic!

I'm writing it for a competition, and for my friend's sake.

She loves 8059 just as I am.

And I know that english is not my mother language, so pardon me if there are several mistakes in my fic..

Enjoy!

"10th! What's the matter? Calling us over to your house all of a sudden." Gokudera said as he entered the house of Sawada.

"Yeah. What happened?" Yamamoto asked before shutting the door behind him.

"Well.. Reborn wants to have a word with both of you.." Tsuna said while looked at the baby perching up on his shoulder.

"Oh. Sorry. I nearly fell asleep while waiting for you guys to arrive." Reborn clears his throat. "The reason I called both of you here is, I want to send both of you for a training."

"Huh? Training?" Gokudera is the first to ask.

"Yes. We need to strengthen the bond between you and Yamamoto." Reborn said, looking back and forth between Gokudera and Yamamoto.

There is an awkward silence..

"WHY HIM? WHY THIS BASEBALL FREAK?" Gokudera is the first to break the silence with his words of protest.

"Because I want to know if the storm attribute in you can synchronize well with Yamamoto's rain attribute.. As they say, when it storms, the rain turns into a downpour(*)." Reborn says with a smile on his face.

Gokudera looked at Yamamoto, who is putting up his usual big grin on his face. How could this bastard match with me? The one who can be my match is the tenth!

"To do this, I've decided to send you to Colonello's home town." Reborn said. "You will spend a night with each other there."

"That sounded so wrong, Reborn.." Tsuna whispered to himself. But Reborn, being Reborn, overheard it.

"Shh." Reborn shushed him after giving the 10th Vongola boss a nice kick in the face.

"Hah? Why Colonello's home town?" Gokudera asked.

"Because Lal is going to visit him, so I think that you both could use a bit of free-loading at Colonello's house." Reborn said matter-of-factly. "Anyways, both of you pack your things today and leave with her tomorrow. Bye. I have no use of both of you anymore."

"But Reborn...!" Gokudera tried to protest once again, but Reborn just answered it with a shot from his gun.

"This is my order. You must obey it." Reborn said and disappeared into Tsuna's room.

Yamamoto and Gokudera found themselves waiting for Lal at the train station the next morning..

"Geez. Why should I do this?" Gokudera mumbled as he fumbled with his bag, desperately searching for his novel that he'd stuffed inside the night before. "I mean, come on. Why should I go onto a crappy bonding session with you?"

The baseball fanatic just stared at him with his big brown eyes and a big smile.

"Fine. No point talking to you, anyway." Gokudera's finger touched the edge of his book, and he pulled it out to read, ignoring Yamamoto.

"Hey." Lal greeted them as Gokudera sat down on the nearest bench, in the process of pulling his bookmark out.

"I heard from Reborn that both of you are going to Colonello's home town, am I correct?" Lal asked.

"Yeah. To train the bond between us!" Yamamoto said cheerfully while looked at Gokudera.

"What? Don't look at me like that! It's not like I'm going to have a good relationship with you anyways!" Gokudera said and got up, stuffing the book back into his bag, and gestured for Lal to guide them to the train.

In the train..

"Hey, Lal."

"Yeah?"

"I wanna know more about Colonello's home town."

"Why so sudden, Yamamoto?"

" 'Cause..." Yamamoto looked beside him and met eyes with the white-haired teen.

"WHAT? Can you NOT stare at me the whole time?" Gokudera shouted while flipped his hair away from his face. "Ah. This is too annoying."

Using a hair band, Gokudera tied up his messy hair, leaving only a few strands of them on the sides of his forehead.

Yamamoto's smile just gotten wider.

"So. Ahem." Lal cleared her throat. "Colonello's home town is called Moonlight Village. As the name suggests, this village is famous for it's moonlight, for it's the most beautiful one ever seen around here."

"Sounds romantic!" Yamamoto's eyes brightened. And then his gaze returned to Gokudera. "I want to bring Gokudera there!"

"We ARE already on our way there." Gokudera said plainly, too absorbed in the plot of the novel to notice the meaning in Yamamoto's words.

"Ne, Lal-san." Yamamoto returned to his topic with Lal. "Did Colonello ever bring you to see the moonlight there?"

Lal blushed. The thought never really rise in her mind. Now Yamamoto had made Lal think of every romantic scenes between her and the Rain Acrobaleno under the moonlight.. etc.

Yamamoto dare not disturb Lal for the moment when he sees her staring outside the window.. Rather, staring into thin air, daydreaming.

Instead he returned his attention to the storm guardian beside him. He could see him gently moving his lips as he muttered words from the novel, his eyes spelled the words 'concentration' perfectly. The wind from outside the train blew. Gokudera's hair swayed in the wind.

Now it is Lal's turn to stare blankly at the raven-haired teen.

They're just like Reborn-san said. An interesting pair.

After several hours on the train, Gokudera slept, his head leaning back at the soft cushion, burying his fingers the page he'd stopped, with Yamamoto who had fell asleep before Gokudera beside him. The shaky movements of the train eventually leads Yamamoto's head to Gokudera's shoulder.

Lal, who just had her nap, woke up and saw this adorable pair in front of her.

A snap from her camera took down this scene between them.

"Hey! You've come, Lal!" Colonello exclaimed when he saw his girlfriend (?) alighted from the train. He then noticed Yamamoto and Gokudera trailing her.

"Why are they following us, kora?" Colonello asked, putting up a suspicious face.

"Reborn didn't told you? They're going to stay at your house for this.."

"..bonding session thingy, right? I know, I know.. kora." Colonello put up a hand in front of Lal. "But I want to spend my time with you, Lal. Not babysitting those kids, kora."

"KIDS? Are you out of your mind? I'm freaking 14! NOT A KID!" Gokudera attempted to throw a whole bunch of dynamites at him, but Yamamoto restrained him in time.

"Yare, yare! Calm down, Gokudera."

The silver-haired teen stopped his struggling, and glared at Colonello while the other looked at him with eyes that spell 'You got owned'.

They walked for a few miles before reached Colonello's house. It is a plain country house, with two porch swings decorating it's front garden.

"Okay, guys. Settle down your luggage here." Lal pointed towards an empty room that, according to Colonello, is served as a storeroom. But there isn't many things in it as the man had cleaned out everything the moment he invited Lal to his house. "And then you both can go wander around the village for a while, 'cause me and Colo-san are going hunting for tonight's dinner."

"Hunt.. for dinner?" Gokudera asked.

"If you must know, yes, kora. The forest is just nearby. We could sharpen our skills." Colonello said, and looked at Lal. "And spend some time together."

Lal blushed, and Gokudera walked out of the house, heading towards a random direction.

"Hey, Yamamoto. Gokudera had went out. Go and take care of him for me." Lal said to Yamamoto.

"Okay!" Yamamoto reassured Lal and went out of the house, eventually catching up with Gokudera, and walked side by side with him.

"You know, Lal." Colonello started. "You sounded like you're their mother just now."

"Then you can be their father." Lal said cheerfully and tugged at his hand. "Let's go hunting."

"Yo, Gokudera!" Yamamoto said when he approached Gokudera.

"What? Can't I go for a walk alone?" Gokudera asked, a tone of annoyance in his voice.

"You can't wander around alone out here, Gokudera.. What if the villagers mistaken you for a bad guy? They will beat you up!"

"Am I dressed like a bad guy?" Gokudera asked and looked at Yamamoto. He nodded.

"Fine!" Gokudera flailed his hands in defeat, and walked down the road, taking in the fresh air.

"There really is less car here, compared to Japan.." Gokudera mumbled to himself.

"Yeah.." Yamamoto said and saw a small path that slits in between two houses.

"Hey, Gokudera. Look!" He pointed towards the path. "I found a new path!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Gokudera demanded, and looked at the direction of Yamamoto's finger. The path seems to be leading towards nowhere.

That looks interesting. Gokudera thought and made his way towards the path subconsciously. Yamamoto smiled at Gokudera before following him.

Entering the path, a gust of wind blew past the pair.

"Yamamoto! The wind! It smells nice!" Gokudera looks like a child who'd just discovered a jar of cookies. Yamamoto smiled, his heart warm from Gokudera's reaction.

"Yeah. I know."

"Let's go." Gokudera pulled on Yamamoto's wrist, leading him further into the path, and towards the mesmerizing smell.

When they reached the end of the path, a golden-colored paddy field that stretched endlessly into the horizon appeared in front of them. A few sparrows grazed over the wheat, keeping a distance from the scarecrows that are stuck in the midst of the golden-ness. A few farmers are seen working in the field, giving it their all to grow the best rice around.

"A paddy field! Yamamo-chan! Look!" Gokudera raised his hands up high, feeling great when he saw the field.

"Why are you so excited, 'Dera?" Yamamoto thinks that it's a nice time to use Gokudera's new nickname, since he's in such a good mood.

"Hey! What's with that nickname?" Gokudera glared at Yamamoto for a second, then returned his gaze back to the field. He sighed. "It's been such a long time since I last went to a paddy field, that's why."

Yamamoto is surprised that Gokudera is willingly to tell him the reason straight-forwardly. Because the normal Gokudera will just ignore the question.

There is definitely something going on with Gokudera..

"When I'm small, my mum used to take me to this paddy field, which is really nice and stuff." Gokudera said, leaning on the pure white fence that is set up between the house and the paddy field. "That's the only place that I like, since that's the first and the last place she had really bring me to."

"It brings back memories." Gokudera take a deep breath of the paddy-flavored wind. Yamamoto stood beside him.

"Hmm." Yamamoto slowly savored the silence between them. He had never seen this side of Gokudera before.

"I like it." Gokudera muttered. "The wind. The scent. Everything."

Yamamoto smiled. "Including me?"

"Hell no, Yamamoto."

Colonello and Lal had returned from their hunting. Gokudera and Yamamoto haven't returned from the paddy field.

"HEY! Where did those guys go? I should have told them to come back before dinner!" Colonello grunted.

"Calm down, father." Lal flashed a cheeky smile. "The kids will be back soon."

"I...It's not like I needed them anyway, kora!" Colonello muttered. "I just want them to be back on time! That's the basics of self-discipline!"

"Don't worry. They'll be back in no time." Lal said and settled down the chickens on the counter while Colonello puts down his wild boar of the day.

"Hey! Lal! We're back!" Yamamoto greeted Lal, with Gokudera behind him.

"Told you." Lal said as she proceeded to unload her weapons in Colonello's room.

"Told you what?" Yamamoto asked out of curiosity.

"Nothing, kora." Colonello retorted and began to rip away the fur of the once-lively wild boar. Yamamoto and Gokudera watched, as the latter began to grip the end of the other's pinky.

"Isn't this... cruel?" Gokudera whispered to himself.

"Maa, maa." Yamamoto took hold of the chance and clamped Gokudera's hand with his.

Gokudera watched Colonello's so-called 'cruel' actions for a while, before noticing that Yamamoto is holding his hand.

"W..What are you doing? Let go of me!" Gokudera snapped his hand away from Yamamoto.

"But you're the one who hold on to my finger first.."

"That doesn't count!" Gokudera shouted. "I... I'm just afraid! Therefore I'm just using you! USING you! Got it?"

Yamamoto smiled and nodded. Which pissed Gokudera even more.

"Do you really understand what I just said just now? Being USED isn't a good thing, Yamamoto!"

"I know. But being used by you.. It gives me a warm feeling." Yamamoto put up his big boy smile once again.

"Tch.. You... are useless." Gokudera turned away and continue watching Colonello and the dead boar, as he waited for dinner to be served.
