Disclaimer: I own NOTHING. Akira Amano is the real genius behind this all xD

"J-Juu…Juudaime?"

The brown-haired teen stood up from his position in front of Gokudera's apartment building.

"Gokudera-kun," he said softly. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was your birthday. You should've told me, then I wouldn't have made plans and maybe we could—"

The Italian bomber interrupted his boss, "It's okay, Juudaime. I didn't want to bother you so I purposely didn't say anything."

"But still, as your friend, I should've known…"

Gokudera looked around a bit before saying, "It's a little cold outside. Would you like to come in Juudaime?"

Tsuna smiled, "Yes, I would like that very much."

The silver-haired teen poured some tea and set the cup down in front of the Vongola Decimo.

He sat down.

"How did you find out, Juudaime? I'm sure I haven't told anyone."

Tsuna bit his lip, "I was talking to Kyoko-chan and she mentioned about how Bianchi told her she was upset that she wouldn't be able to celebrate your birthday with you since she's away for the week."

Gokudera stared at him, trying to clear his mind from his talk with G.

"I asked her when your birthday was and she said it was today. I quickly excused myself and ran here."

The Italian boy's green eyes widened, "But…why? Weren't you on a date with her? You've been waiting for so long for that chance and you still left?" The Sky Guardian nodded and Gokudera let out a huff of disbelief. "Juudaime, I would never question your actions because I have faith in you but…why would you ditch the girl you love for a lowly guardian like me? I doubt I'm as important as she is."

"You areimportant, Gokudera-kun. You're a good friend and I thought it was unfair that you do so much for me and yet I would so cruel as to not know your birthday."

The teen smoker suddenly felt like crying again.

'Stopit.You'remakingmefallevenharder…'

Suddenly, the Vongola Boss stood up, walked around and wrapped his arms around Gokudera from behind.

He kissed his neck softly, "I didn't get you a present, I'm sorry. But hopefully you'll accept me instead."

His hands started traveling lower down Gokudera's chest. The older boy felt his heart break a bit more. Something inside of him snapped and he abruptly stood up and rejected Tsuna's touch.

"Gokudera…kun?"

"No." He furrowed his eyebrows, "No, Juudaime. This is not what I want."

Tsuna looked as if he understood, "Ah, I'm sorry. I hadn't thought you'd be tired. We can do it later I'm su—"

"That's not what I meant," his voice became stern and his tone dark.

This made Tsuna's arm hair stand up, "What do you mean then?"

"You don't understand. You really don't. I don't…this," Gokudera motioned to himself and his boss, "is not what I want."

"You don't…likehaving sex with me?" The brunette truly looked hurt.

"N-no, I mean, I…likeit…a lot."

"Then what's wro—"

The green-eyed teen instinctively grabbed his boss' shoulders, "Juudaime, please listen to me!"

Tsuna pressed his lips together when he saw that his right-hand man was serious.

"I like doing those things with you, Juudaime, but I can't…I thought I'd be okay with just having you use me but…I'm not. I'm sorry that I can't be more detached from my emotions but I…I do…" Gokudera took a deep breath, "I love you, Juudaime. A lot."

The Sky Guardian froze up, "W-what?"

The older teen closed his eyes in shame, ""I know, I'm sorry. I really am. You probably think I'm disgusting."

"No…I just…I didn't know. I'm the one who's sorry. I asked you to do all those things when in fact you…"

The silver-haired teen shook his head, "No! It's not your fault, Juudaime! I didn't want you to know. But today…it was just too much. I couldn't handle it anymore. Mi dispiace, Juudaime."

Tsuna sighed, "I had a feeling something was off but I couldn't sense what."

There was silence for a few seconds after Gokudera let go of his boss' shoulders.

"I understand if you don't want to do it anymore, Gokudera-kun." The smoker didn't say anything but avoided the younger teen's eyes. The Vongola Decimo bit his lip, "I can't say for sure if I feel the same way, Gokudera-kun, but…I can try."

Gokudera snapped his head up, "No, Juudaime, I don't want you to force yourself. I know you like Kyoko-chan. You don't have to sacrifice yourself for me. I can deal with it."

The brunette shook his head, "It's okay. I mean, you're the only person I've been i-intimate with so…" He looked away and blushed a bit.

"But you'll have more partners in the future."

The very thought of his boss having other lovers made Gokudera feel sick.

"I'd rather not. I trust you, that's the only reason why I let you do as you please."

"What about Kyoko-chan?"

The brown-eyed teen shrugged, "For a while now I've felt that maybe I don't really like her. I mean, I think I do but my actions haven't exactly supported that." Tsuna stuffed his hands in his pockets, "I think if I really liked her I wouldn't be doing things with you, you know?"

Gokudera nodded.

"So…is it all right to try?"

The Italian teen's eyes widened, "You…you really want to?"

Tsuna nodded, "Yeah, I do."

Gokudera couldn't control himself and wrapped his arms around his boss in an embrace. "Ti amo, Juudaime. Molto."

The brunette had a soft smile on his face. He didn't understand what his right-hand man was saying but he was glad that he wasn't upset anymore. For a while Tsuna felt a dark aura around his friend but he was too afraid to ask what was wrong. Now he felt incredibly stupid for not asking sooner.

He leant up and places a small peck on Gokudera's lips.

He said nothing but that was just fine with the Italian bomber. He was just happy he expressed himself.

Taking G's advice was one of the best decisions he ever made, although he'd never admit it. But now, thanks to that decision, his life didn't have to be a reflection anymore.

This time he had a chance and he was sure as hell going to take it. Because even if his boss wasn't sure, Gokudera knew that he loved his Decimo.

And he always would.
