Colonnello x Reborn

The blonde had no idea how it come to this; they were standing opposed to each other, weapons drawn. He saw no hesitation in the cold coal eyes, this was not like their normal fights, and this one would have ever lasting consequences. The army-wearing blonde already knew who would win in the end and he didn't like it. But he gritted his teeth and blue eyes glared and met his once-lover's.

I remembered meeting him through Lal. Lal had brought Reborn into the training facility and I, being the cocky bastard I was at the age, decided to challenge him to a fight to prove he wasn't all high and almighty.

Surprising to most, I actually held my own for a while, until he finally won and I was launched backwards. I think that is when the competition of sorts started. We challenged each other to outdo one another.

This continued on well into being arcobalenos, but our relationship of friends/rivals took a drastic turn one night.

It was a few months after being cured of the curse and Reborn and I had gone drinking. Once again our rivalry had kicked in and tried to drink each other under the table. We were finally kicked out when we had almost drank the bar dry, and stumbled down the road, neither of us able to drive.

Somehow we ended up in his apartment on his bed. I only remember waking up the morning after with Reborn lying next to me, asleep; surprisingly with his eyes closed. The occasional sex changed into quite often, until I started not leaving as soon as I woke up.

It wasn't a fluffy, love filled relationship. It was full of competitions, fighting, and nights of rough sex, but I was happy with it, and I could tell Reborn was as well, because his other partners had grown non-existent.

Then something happened recently, but he turned on me. Suddenly, I had become the enemy. I was fleeing from members of the Vongola, Cavallone, and CEDEFF. But he was the one who caught up to me.

Guns pointed at each other, cold uncaring black eyes glared at me, and I stared back.

"So Reborn, What are the charges against me?" Colonnello spoke, eyeing the black haired male warily.

"Giving secrets to an enemy family. Betraying the Vongola and the CEDEFF." He spoke, his hand unwavering. Colonnello's eyes widened in shock.

"WHAT? You know I would never, Reborn." Colonnello spoke, horror on his face. He has been set up.

"Orders are orders, Colonnello. Ciao" He spoke, the trigger being pulled and he found himself rooted in shock as the bullet pierced through his chest, pain shot through his body.

He could have sworn, he saw shock on Reborn's face when the bullet entered his chest. The blonde's body hit the ground, his blue eyes closed as felt the consciousness seep from his body as his body became soaked in his own blood. He had no strength to open his eyes, but over the ringing in his ears, he could hear the soft footsteps of Reborn. And a soft question was asked in a guarded voice.

"…Why….."

"…..I wasn't going…..to….win….anyway…. " Colonello spoke between hacking coughs, blood being coughed out and landing on his face and the blond locks. "…..I didn't do it…..Reborn…. I…I was being…..set up…." The blond hacked out, even if he didn't expect him to believe it.

His brow furrowed when he felt something soft press against his lips, and the blond released one cough before his heart stopped. Leaving the black haired male to pull down his Fedora over his eyes and angered snarl on his lips as he left his once best friend and lover upon the cold ground. His black eyes filled with hatred and vengeance.

He would find out who set the blond up, and he would make them pay.
