#9- Drive
Disclaimer: Gokudera- (looks down at paper) Roys-neko does not own Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn.
The summer afternoon was scorching hot, every person carrying a fan or a wearing light colors, and even those lucky enough to find protection under a shaded tree. Since summer was making it's broad statement of all time, it required electronic fans to blow, and windows and doors to be wide open.
Gokudera sat quietly in the Sawada living room, reading his current book on the couch. He was waiting for his boyfriend to finish getting ready for their 'date,' as Yamamoto goofily put it the day before.
He paused, hearing uneven and light footsteps walking down he stairs, knowing it wasn't the brunette, he placed his eyes back into his book.
The footsteps lazily dragged onto the floor, "Gokudera, What're you doing here?" Lambo asked, his voice was weak and tired, but didn't lack the arrogant smugness to it.
The silver-haired boy placed his book mark at the spot he removed his eyes, closing the book, he turned around.
"I'm picking up Tsuna, Why do you want to know?" Gokudera retorted, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm just Curious."
"Curious about what?"
"You and Tsuna."
"What about Me…and Tsuna?"
"Why do protect him?"
"Because he's important to me."
"How is he important to you?"
"He's important, and different compared to others I've met before him." Gokudera paused and nodded, "Yeah."
He was so fixed on answering the young cow's questions that he didn't hear the light footsteps coming down the stairs.
Tsuna heard the conversation from the tops of the stairs. Although, they weren't talking loudly, but only because the house was emptier than usual. When he sat beside the living room doorway, so he could listen to the rest of the conversation.
"Why do you hang out with Tsuna so much more than the others do?"
"Because, uh, how can I put this… we have a closer bond compared to others."
"Like Tsuna and mom?"
"Not Exactly."
"Like I-pin and the scary bird-man?"
"No, not really… it use to be like that."
"Then how?"
"Umm… I don't know how to put this…"
"Like Mom and Dad?" He heard chuckled emit from the dynamite specialist.
"Yeah something like that."
"Do you love Tsuna?"
"I don't know yet, I haven't really asked him."
"Why don't you?"
"Well, I'm waiting for the right time."
"Oh, then you're going to ask toda--"
Both of the boys turned their heads when they heard footsteps walk into the living room.
"I'm ready." He said, his cheeks dusted soft pink.
Gokudera nodded, "Later, Cow." and took walked with the other teen out the door.
"You were so nice, and didn't yell. What happened?" Tsuna asked, lacing his fingers with the Italian teen as they walked down the deserted streets.
"If I woke up Reborn, well, we wouldn't have the time to sneak you out." He stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Tsuna smiled grimly, "That's true."
"Anyways, How much did you hear?" Gokudera asked lead the two towards the children's park, filled with shaded trees.
"Well, You should know how much I love you, Hayato." The brunette spoke seductively into the taller boy's ear.
"That much, huh?" Gokudera inquired, leading them under a well shaded tree.
"No, I heard it all." Tsuna said smiling at the light blush on his boyfriends cheeks.
