When the Corner Ends : Part 2 , Confession

Second part of my second story. Let's see what Tsuna is going to do. Filled with 5927 Fluffy luff, and maybe a hint of 8027 too. This time is Gokudera to go OOC.

I do not own any of the characters. They belong to Reborn!

I left the hospital, still not knowing where I'm supposed to go, I wander. I stopped to see Yamamato standing by a pillar, starring at me. He gave a rare sad, apologetic glance and walked towards me.

"Look, Tsuna. Gokudera didn't mean to keep it a secret from you. It's just, he doesn't want to cause you any unneeded stress. You already have worry about your succession ceremony coming up, and all that. So, don't get mad at him. You can blame me, I was wrong for not telling you what happened and-"

Yamamato said, but I cut him off, by shaking my head. I looked up and gave him a soft smile, I wanted to say so many things to him, but the words never came out. I needed time on my own, to collect my thought. I continued to walk, in the corner of my eye, I could see Yamamato's hand reaching out, but then slowly returning to him. Thank you, I thought to myself.

It wasn't the fact that he hid his injuries from me that shocked me. Nor how he didn't want me to worry, or anything like that. It was how he got injured right underneath my nose. He was just there, and when I turned around, he disappeared. It was my carelessness that got him hurt, what kind of friend am I? I looked up, to find myself at a park not so far from the hospital. I saw 2 kids running in the sandbox, I saw 2 squirrels under a tree, and when I looked up I saw 2 birds in the nest. They're in pairs, because if anything happens to them, one of them can do something. I saw something moving in the grass and went towards it. Then I saw, a small gray kitten lying on the grass; it was alone, and it has injured its leg. My hands automatically went towards it; the cat hissed but then flinched from the pain in its leg. I picked it up, and lightly brought it to my chest. For some reason, looking at it made me think of Gokudera, being alone and injured. My vision started to blur, and I could feel a tear coming out; I'm such a wimp. I can't be a wimp anymore, if I want to protect the ones I care for. I gently put the kitten down and fixed its wound. I smiled when the kitten found its mom, and made my way back to the hospital; there was something I wanted to say to Gokudera.

I peeked into room 509, and saw the nurse finally give Gokudera his needle. They chatted for a bit, and the nurse came out. She looked at me and gave me and disappointed look.

"In all my years of being a nurse, I've never tried so hard to give someone an injection. He's asleep now; your friend is ready to go home after he wakes up. "The nurse said, and I bowed my head in thanks. And slowly crept into Gokudera's room, trying really hard to hide my presence. For a trained mafia hit man, you'll think he'll detect my presence, but I guess he didn't. I guess there's a difference between a mafia hit man and ninja then. I was about to leave, when I heard Gokudera quietly mumble something in his sleep.

"I'm sorry, Tenth. I didn't mean to worry you like that..." Gokudera was talking in his sleep.

"I didn't want to look weak in front of you... I will protect the Tenth with this body, until the very end." I couldn't help myself but to say something.

"That's not right! Gokudera-kun, Gokudera-kun is never weak in my eyes! And I will protect you to!" I saw Gokudera jumped and up and looked at me.

"T-tenth!" He said smiling, and this time he got up with no problem. He tried to run towards me, but I stopped him.

"Nu-uh! I'm still mad at you for keep secrets from him. You'll have to be punished for that, understand?" I said sharply, Gokudera nodded and stood there.

"Close your eyes, and brace for impact. I'm aiming for the uninjured side of your face." I said, warning him.

"Alright, Tenth. I am ready for any punishment you have for me." He said as he closed his eyes.

I ran into Gokudera's arm, giving him a giant bear hug. Gokudera jumped at the surprised, but it doesn't end there. I grabbed Gokudera's collar and yanked it down, and gave Gokudera a small peck on the left cheek and whispered in his ears.

"Next time, the punishment won't be as sweet. This is just a warning, don't hide things from me."

I looked up to see Gokudera, whose face was bright red and speechless. I smiled, and grabbed his hand and his bag, and left the hospital. During the walk home, I couldn't stop smiling. Gokudera's face was still bright red, and his hands were warm and welcoming. We've reached the fork in the road which we have to split. I let go of his hands, and that seemed to be the trick, because started to speak, or shall I say stutter.

"T-Thank you, for w-walking me home Tenth. I am t-truly grateful. I'll see you tomorrow." He said, returning to his normal way of speaking. I nodded and started to walk towards my house, when I heard Gokudera call me from across the street.

"TENTH!" He shouted, I turned and replied,

"Yeah?" There was a silence, and then Gokudera shouted even louder,

"I LOVE YOU, TENTH!" He said, and his face turned red again. I laughed and said,

"I know. I love you too, Gokudera-kun." He smiled, and so did I.

A truck has driven across the street, and when the truck past, Gokudera had already disappeared into his street. I told myself I wouldn't, but I started to cry again. Because I don't know, will Gokudera be safe when the corner ends.

Should I contiue? Maybe! Thanks for reading! This series might contiue, after I'm writing some other fanfics. I'm getting a bit bored of writing about Tsuna. What do you think?
