Oh by the way! I forgot to mention that this was inspired by Baka and Test! I want to thank that anime for the cute episode with their mini beasts running rampant! I got the idea from that, but I assure you the rest of the plot was my idea XD Thanks again!

Man, we had a strong earthquake last night just when I finished this chapter! Many things were falling, and people went to evacuation centers. We were on tsunami alert number 3! Thankfully, things have settled down and before anymore earthquakes occur, I'd like to finish this chapter. I was praying so hard while the earth was shaking! It was super strong!

By the way, please read the author's note at the end of this chapter! You might find something interesting if you do! A

So, the second chapter is more mellow than the first, there are a few humor here and there but don't expect much. I have a lame sense of humor! D:

Oh yeah, what do you think of me writing a Varia version of this? O.O

The Mini Version of my Heart

Chapter 2

Previously…

"I also found out in the future that I'm going to get married to-!" Mini Ryohei said but original Ryohei was too fast for him.

"GAH! EXTREMELY SHUT UP!" Ryohei said with a blushing face.

"Oya, isn't this intriguing?" Mukuro said as he carried the beaten up form of himself to the couch where Chrome was at.

Gokudera, who had stood up the moment his mini self escaped from Tsuna, was finally able to capture his counterpart and he sighed before he looked up and realized he was in front of Yamamoto and his strangely sulky mini self.

A mischievous glint shone in those green eyes.

Now…

A mischievous glint shone in those green eyes. "Oi Yamamoto…" Gokudera said and unbeknownst to him, his mini self has one again escaped from its confinements and this time it was running towards Tsuna.

"Jyuudaime!" Little Gokudera shouted as he gave the big Tsuna a tackling hug. The brunet blinked and his mini self hid behind Tsuna's legs because deep inside, the brunet was scared of his storm.

Back to Gokudera and Yamamoto…

The rain guardian titled his head with a pleasing smile as he answered Gokudera's call. "Yeah?" He and his mini self were near the vase at the side table. Mini Yamamoto was reaching out for something but no one was paying attention. However, when the mini Yamamoto heard Gokudera call him, the small baseball idol looked up.

In his arms, the mini Yamamoto's eyes narrowed as he looked at mini Gokudera and then he shifted his suspicious amber eyes at the original storm guardian. The bomber flinched at the look. "He's up to something." Mini Yamamoto said to the other Yamamoto. Hibari looked over at the mini rain guardian in interest.

"How surprising, he's actually less oblivious than I thought." Mukuro stated with a creepy laugh. Tsuna looked over at his guardians in confusion. He was too busy playing with the little Gokudera who kept trying to get his attention by shouting "Jyuudaime! Jyuudaime!" while waving cute fat fists in the air.

Gokudera glared back at the mini Yamamoto, he was unknowing of what was happening with his mini self who had tackled a stunned Tsuna to the floor. The original Italian turned to Yamamoto, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you hiding anything from us?"

The original Yamamoto stiffened as he continued to smile but didn't answer. His arms were like stone around his mini self who looked at Gokudera coolly in response.

"I'm hiding a lot of things from you." The mini guardian stated. And Gokudera looked like he hit the jackpot.

"Like?" Gokudera probed in interest.

Original Yamamoto laughed and said, "I like milk!"

"Moron, that's not a secret!" Gokudera scowled at his fellow guardian.

"Actually, I'm sick of milk." Mini Yamamoto said and Gokudera looked down in surprise.

What? The bomber thought. Why are they saying different things? He looked at Yamamoto's happy face and then at the sad look on the mini baseball idiot's face as he kept looking over at Tsuna.

This time, mini Gokudera had somehow climbed up into the mass of brown hair that was Tsuna's head.

"And right now, I'm actually cleverly thinking of a way to avoid your question and not expose my greatest secret." Mini Yamamoto continued as he turned back his attention to Gokudera. The guardians looked up stunned at the original innocent guardian's smiling face. Why was he still smiling?

"Ahaha! Did you really have to say that?" Yamamoto asked with the ever-pleasant smile on his face. Tsuna, who heard what was said despite the fact that he was trying to get small Gokudera off his head, looked over and shivered, he can't tell if Yamamoto was really happy or really sad or angry.

"Yes." The mini Yamamoto said calmly and Tsuna was mesmerized by the way his black lashes made his amber eyes appear half-lidded and sad. The Vongola heard his small self whisper 'pretty' behind him.

"What's your greatest secret?" Gokudera asked excitedly but Yamamoto chose this moment to intervene as he placed a hand over his mini self's mouth.

"Maa, Gokudera I'm sorry but that question isn't allowed." Yamamoto stated still grinning. Gokudera opened his mouth to argue but then a shriek suddenly interrupted him.

"HIIIEEE!" Mini Tsuna was crying because mini Gokudera had tackled him to the floor and was now on top of him. Gokudera looked shocked and he immediately went to grab his other self off.

Tsuna tried to comfort his mini self who was crying while Gokudera, after successfully pulling his other off, did a dogeza pose with his mini self to apologize to the brunet and the little brunet.

"GOMENASAI JYUUDAIME!" Gokudera and mini Gokudera shouted as they banged their heads to the floor.

"I-It's fine Gokudera-kun…" Tsuna said but the little Tsuna kept crying.

The two storm counterparts cringed and continued to apologize for various reasons which had no connection to the current situation.

"And I'm also sorry for sneaking in your room one night to watch you sleep!" Mini Gokudera said and Tsuna gapped in shocked.

"W-What-?" Tsuna asked but the original Gokudera had already grabbed his mini self and covered his mouth.

"N-Nothing jyuudaime! I didn't say anything! Did you say something?" Gokudera said sheepishly.

"But you said-!"

"Nope! Didn't say a word!" Gokudera insisted.

"Don't deny it Gokudera Hayato, you clearly said you watched the Vongola sleep every single night." Mukuro laughed creepily. "What a terrifying stalker."

Gokudera flushed as he glared at the pineapple head. "I didn't-!"

"I don't watch him every night! I only watch him every Mondays and Tuesdays! I have a schedule you know." Mini Gokudera huffed as he successfully pried off the bomber's hand.

Silence.

"HIEEE! Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna shouted when the bomber fell into a dead faint.

"I feel really embarrassed." Mini Gokudera said as he covered his cute red face. He was saying what Gokudera was currently thinking. "I want the ground to swallow me up. I shamed the name of jyuudaime's right-hand man!"

Tsuna sweat dropped. That's what he's worried about?

Meanwhile, the small version of Tsuna was still crying as he sat on the floor. Big tears were cascading down his face and everyone ignored Gokudera on the floor to try and calm down the mini sky.

"Here I'll give you a candy." Lambo said but when he took out the candy, it was emitting purple fumes. The small brunet squealed and hid behind Tsuna as he cried louder. Tsuna wanted to face-palm himself, somehow Lambo got a poisoned candy from the infamous poison scorpion.

"I'll entertain you with my illusions… Kufufufu…" Mukuro said and he drew up and illusion of scary tentacles almost making the mini Tsuna faint.

"If you don't stop crying I'll bite you to death." Hibari said, scaring Tsuna even more.

"I'll sing you an EXTREME song!" Ryohei shouted as he and his mini self began dancing around. "Oh NAMIMORI-!"

"HIIEE! Stop! Stop! You're making it worse!" Tsuna stopped his guardians as the small version of him continued to cry. Chrome wanted to help too, but her illusions were the same brand as Mukuro's.

Althugh, she did prefer tentacles with bows though. Did that count?

Meanwhile the mini Yamamoto in the rain guardian's arms was struggling. "Help Tsuna!" It said, and with a sigh, the baseball idol leaned down and allowed the small him to run towards the mini brunet.

Everyone watched as the small Yamamoto made his way towards the pair of sky guardians. Tsuna watched with curiosity as the small Yamamoto wobbled over towards them. The small Tsuna stopped crying and looked up sniffling.

"Tsuna." The small rain guardian smiled and everyone's eyes widened at how brilliant the mini Yamamoto's smile was. He kneeled down, on two knees, in front of the sitting Tsuna and patted the wild hair as the small sky continued sniffling. "Don't cry Tsuna!" He continued to smile and suddenly he took out a small flower from his clothes.

Yamamoto raised an eyebrow at that and then he saw the nearby vase and he smiled in exasperation. Of course he took a flower when no one was looking.

"See?" Mini Yamamoto said and Tsuna accepted the flower. "Pretty right?" He stated with another cute smile.

Tsuna could feel his heart beating fast in his chest and somehow he was jittery with anticipation. His little self was looking down at the flower with glassy eyes and then at the small Yamamoto in front of him who continued to smile ever so gently.

Tsuna sucked in a breath as he felt himself flush.

Why? What was going to happen?

Suddenly gasps were heard around the room when the mini Tsuna leaned forward and pecked the mini Yamamoto right on the cheek.

The mini Yamamoto's amber eyes widened in astonishment and pink decorated his cheeks when Tsuna gave him a swift peck. The original Yamamoto was also shocked and the original Tsuna felt like he wanted to faint at the sudden display.

Gokudera, who was able to see that despite the constant banging on his head, had his mouth hanging open and his small counterpart was looking at the two with bugging out eyes and equal shock. Chrome had a hand on her mouth while her mini self was giggling at the cuteness. Mukuro and Hibari's eyes were also wide while their counterparts remained knocked out on their laps and arms, snoring.

Lambo wasn't all that surprised though, but then again, he came from the future. In his arms, his mini self was sucking his thumb. Meanwhile Ryohei had an eyebrow cocked in confusion while his counterpart watched the scene with interested big gray eyes.

When the mini Tsuna pulled back, he was blushing but smiling happily. The mini Yamamoto opened his mouth and stuttered. "I-I-!"

Amber eyes closed in frustration as the mini Yamamoto finally said his greatest secret. "I actually like Tsuna very much! For a v-very long t-time I-I've loved Tsuna!"

The original rain guardian's face was pale as the words were said out loud. Both the mini and original Tsuna looked at the small Yamamoto in shock.

What?

What?

Mini Yamamoto's amber eyes were sad as he continued to speak. "When I smile, I'm not actually smiling. When I feel irritated I don't show it and I always feel bitter. Baseball has always been difficult and I don't like it that much but I'm really good at it so I stuck to it. But when I broke my arm I felt relieved but then I felt sad when everyone made it seem like I failed them. I hated myself."

The smile on the original Yamamoto's face had slid off and he was looking on with a blank expression while his mini self continued to speak. "But everything changed when I met Tsuna!" There was a hopeful tone in the small voice and the tiny version of Yamamoto was fiddling with his hands as he looked down. "Tsuna saved me and showed me how fun life is. It was because of Tsuna that I was finally able to smile from my heart." The small Yamamoto smiled but his crinkled eyebrows made the smile look sad. "I was able to finally smile for everyone and not just to cover up my feelings."

"Yamamoto…" Tsuna said his eyes still wide. The tiny Yamamoto looked at him, his eyes were so hopeful and he looked like he was hurting too. The mini Tsuna didn't know what to do and the original's confusion was showing in his tiny version.

"Tsuna!" Mini Yamamoto said as he looked at the Vongola, amber eyes shining sadly. "Tsuna why did you kiss me? Do you like me Tsuna? Tsuna I-!"

"That's enough." Yamamoto suddenly said and he leaned down to pick up his mini self who didn't even bother to struggle and just let his original take hold of him. The mini Yamamoto's upper lip was covering his lower one in a pout. In the bank of Gokudera's mind he seethed, why was Yamamoto's mini version so obedient?

"I've always wondered what it would look like if I confessed to Tsuna." Yamamoto said in a serene tone and the guardians looked at the calm rain warily. The kindest person was always the scariest. "And here I got my wish. Ahahaha! Serves me right." He stated quietly.

"Yamamoto…" Tsuna finally spoke. "Yamamoto I…"

"Don't worry about it Tsuna, it was nothing." Yamamoto continued in a quiet voice. "My mini self must have hit his head or something. I don't know what he was thinking, saying all of those stuff…"

Suddenly a whimper was heard and Yamamoto looked down when he felt someone pull on his pant leg. The mini Tsuna was looking up at him with teary eyes. The brunet blushed at the other's display. It made him look like a wimp.

Silence.

"I must've hit my head too hard… That must be it…!" Gokudera's self denial broke through the silence. His mini self was nodding along with him, big tears in his green eyes.

"Oya, it seems like the octopus head needs to get some sort of medication." Mukuro stated as he stood up, with his mini self slung on his shoulder like a sack of potato. "We will take care of him, meanwhile you two continue your conversation in private."

Hibari crossed his arms, looked away like a primadona, and walked out of the living room.

"EXTREME! We should er- extremely go find some ice… for Tako-head's head!" Ryohei shouted awkwardly as the tension in the room continued to thicken. "And we are totally not trying to escape this weird tension between Sawada and Yamamoto to the extreme!" He finished with a fist pump to the air.

"Actually I'm extremely lying! We're extremely trying to escape!" Ryohei's mini self countered as he did the same action as the sun guardian. Ryohei sweat dropped with his hand still in the air but he gave up and just got out of there as fast as they could.

"Kyaa, shounen-ai…!" Mini Chrome whispered and the female mist guardian blushed in embarrassment when Tsuna and Yamamoto looked at her weirdly. She ducked her face and ran out of the room as fast as she could while her mini self squealed silently.

Lambo yawned as he got up from the couch with his mini crying self clinging to his front shirt. The teen cow let him be, seeing as this meant he didn't have to carry him and the small version of himself can have fun swinging on his shirt. "Yare, yare, so troublesome. Fix this up already Vongola so that we can have dinner soon." He waved before leaving the two on their own.

Tsuna and Yamamoto looked at each other before looking away in, as Ryohei would say, extreme embarrassment.

"Hey turftop…" Gokudera said as he and Ryohei went up to the second floor towards Tsuna's bedroom. He was leaning against the boxer who was taking him to lie down. The mini Gokudera was on Gokudera's had, all popped out. Hibari and Mukuro were heading outside to continue their fight while Chrome and Lambo were going to the kitchen to find some ice. "About before, who is this person you liked?"

"GAH!" Ryohei suddenly shouted as he instinctively grabbed his mini self and covered his mouth, letting go of the bomber in the process, causing the other to hit his head on the wooden landing with a 'thud'. "You extremely can't trick me octopus head! I'll never tell you! You can't blackmail me!"

A vein popped in Gokudera's forehead as he recovered from another head slam. "It's not like I'm asking you to blackmail you, idiot!" The storm shouted. He inhaled deeply and calmed down when he felt the smaller version of him patting his head, telling him to calm down. "It's just…" The bomber frowned as the words refused to come out.

"-It's just, I didn't want to be surprised anymore and to be an unintentional jerk to my friends." Mini Gokudera stated and the original Gokudera's face burned.

"What?" Ryohei was shocked. "You were a jerk to Yamamoto?"

"It wasn't intentional." Gokudera grumbled as he crossed his arms.

"What did you do?" Ryohei asked and Gokudera looked away.

"I kept telling him how much jyuudaime liked your sister." Gokudera stated honestly. "And I kept bragging that Sasagawa would definitely like jyuudaime back and they'd end up together." He said and Ryohei was gapping at him.

"What? Sawada likes my sister?" Ryohei was shocked for all the wrong reasons.

"That's not the point!" Gokudera said, raising his voice. "The point is, I didn't know what Yamamoto felt about jyuudaime and I just kept going on and on! Now that I think back to it, I think his face kept getting paler whenever I mentioned it… I was a jerk." The storm pursed his lips.

Ryohei sighed and he shook his head. "You sure were, octopus head."

Mini Gokudera and Gokudera glared at the boxer. "I didn't need that confirmation!"

The bomber laughed roughly. "Yeah well, I'll tell you who I liked if it makes you feel better." Gokudera looked at him suspiciously.

"Really?"

"Yeah!" Ryohei held up mini Ryohei so that the small version of him could tell the storm. Gokudera leaned in with interest, on his head the mini Gookudera was shaking his head as he watched mini Ryohei grin willingly. "It's-"

POOF!

"Arre? Tiny Gokudera and Ryohei Kurokawa Sasagawa Jr. extremely vanished!"

"What the hell-! He didn't even say who it was yet!" Gokudera shouted but then his eyes widened and he looked at the boxer who went pale. "What did you call your mini self?"

"Cow child," Chrome said as she and Lambo entered the kitchen. "In the future, is boss and rain man in a relationship?"

Lambo who was looking through the fridge shrugged. "Saa, who knows?"

"I wish they are. I think they suit each other very much." Chrome stated and in her arms mini Chrome nodded vigorously in agreement. Lambo's eyes softened.

"I think so too." He said. His mini self was sitting by the counter swinging his legs. Suddenly the mini Lambo spoke. "Chrome-nee, about before, do you really think that we would leave you alone?" He said referring to the incident that happened in the living room. The small version of the lightning tilted his head.

Chrome froze and her mini self, whom she was hugging to her chest, answered. "Yes. I won't be shock if you did."

"Chrome-nee," Lambo turned to the girl and smiled at her. "Ten years in the future, I'm not sure if you've gotten over that insecurity yet but I want to assure you. In the next ten years time, no, even in the next hundred years, all of us will always stay with you. We won't abandon you and we won't make you feel sad. Vongola would never allow it."

Chrome's visible eye widened but then she smile and nodded. "I feel relieved. Helping boss and joining the guardians seem to be the right decision."

Lambo nodded. "It is the right decision." He said with small pride in his voice.

"Tell me, what do you see boss as? Is he a great boss in the future?" Chrome asked quietly and Lambo closed his eyes as a small blush covered his cheeks.

"Hn, I don't really see him as a boss.." Lambo said as he took out ice cubes. He turned to Chrome and smiled. "But rather, I think he's a great brother."

"Cow child," Chrome said as Lambo flushed at what he said. "I think boss is a great brother too." Chrome said with a smile.

Lambo nodded. "Right?" Mini Lambo and mini Chrome looked at each other, smiled, nodded their heads, and closed their eyes.

The original Chrome opened her mouth, about to say something else but then-

POOF!

Mini Lambo, Lambo, and mini Chrome vanished. And in the place of Lambo, the familiar five-year-old lightning guardian appeared surprising the female illusionist.

"Arere? Where am I?" Lambo asked as he licked his lollipop.

"You're rather intense today aren't you, skylark?" Mukuro said as he was berated by another group of attacks. Hibari frowned at him as he continued to attack and attack the annoying pineapple herbivore. However, sitting on top of the wall near the Sawada gate were their mini selves who were contented at watching them. They were both passing a bucket of popcorns to each other.

"Hn, tell me, annoying herbivore, is it true that you find my jacket fascinating?" Hibari said in a slight mock tone. Mukuro frowned but then covered it up with his infamous laugh.

"Oya, are you letting what the small impostor of me said, get to your head? How pathetic." Mukuro stated. "And what about you? Do you really like my Mukurou (Mukuro's owl) so much?" He teased and Hibari popped a vein at that.

"Yes and I think you're also very nitpicky and your clothes suck." Mini Hibari said blankly. Mukuro and mini Mukuro popped a vein. Hibari smirked, it looks like his mini self was on his side this time.

Mukuro lifted up a twitching hand and an illusion of a pineapple formed on it. He threw it with great accuracy towards the mini Hibari who lifted his mini tonfas but got hit anyway because the tonfas were small.

"Kufufufu…" Mukuro and mini Mukuro said in creepy synchronized laughter. Hibari turned to the two with a glare and a dark aura.

"I'll bite you to death." He said as he rushed to the other with faster attacks. Mukuro jumped back in time but the tonfa grazed his hair which was cut by a bit.

"My hair!" The mini Mukuro said in despair while original Mukuro glared at Hibari. "Do you know how expensive it is to get an Italian haircut like this?" The tiny Mukuro growled.

"Do you know how abnormal it is to have a hairstyle like that?" Hibari answered back and his mini self was back to his feet.

"This is personal." Mukuro said as he pointed his staff at the other.

"I hate your face." Hibari said with ferocity. "You're school uniform defies the Namimori rules, your hair is a weird color and is also against the rules, and you're a pineapple herbivore."

Mukuro smirked at him. "Kufufu, your insults are awfully lame. You claim that you hate crowding but you're actually very lonely aren't you? True, I like your jacket but I hate everything else about you. You're like a small emo little insect that should be crushed right now."

"Your breath smells like pineapples."

"You're obsessed with a school building."

"You dress like a girl."

"That was Chrome, little skylark. You mistook us because we have similar hairstyles."

"You have a strange obsession with uniforms."

"So do you."

CLANG!

Mukuro and Hibari's weapons met like steel against iron. "Enough." Hibari growled as he lashed out on the mist guardian. Mukuro smirked at his guardian counterpart. "I'll bite you to death." Hibari said.

"Oya, so uncharacteristically talkative you are." Mukuro stated. Hibari frowned, both he and Mukuro opened their mouths at the same time as they said the exact same words.

"You are the most annoying person I've ever met."

Mini Hibari and mini Mukuro looked at each other as their bigger versions continued to fight and destroy the Sawada's front gate.

"That's the closest you'll ever get me to being honest." The small skylark said blankly and mini Mukuro shrugged.

"Kufufu, either way our job here is done." Mini Mukuro said as he and mini Hibari vanished in a puff of pink smoke.

POOF!

An awkward silence hung about the room.

Yamamoto sighed and he sat down on the couch, motioning Tsuna to sit down as well. Seeing nothing better to do, the brunet complied. The young brunet leaned down and picked up his mini version, settling him on his lap like Yamamoto's.

"Saa, at least this way we can be honest with each other." Yamamoto stated with a smile as he referred to their honest versions. Tsuna could only nod.

Silence.

"Yamamoto…" To the surprise of the two, it was the mini version of Tsuna who began to talk first. "Why didn't you tell me that you liked me before?"

Yamamoto blinked and he answered while his small self remained silent. "Because I know you liked Sasagawa and I didn't want to break our friendship." He stated simply but then the small Yamamoto spoke. "You like Sasagawa right, Tsuna?" There was a hurt tone in his voice.

This was the difference between the small and original Yamamoto. The original Yamamoto could keep the hurt and emotion out of his voice and hide his pain behind seemingly cheerful smiles, but the mini one talked with honesty and his voice shook with too much emotion while his face showed all the bitterness and sadness he felt.

The original Tsuna gulped. He felt his heart constrict at the words he said next. "Y-Yes, I-I like Kyoko-chan." Tiny Yamamoto's face looked like the world was falling apart but his original's expression was intact, however, he wasn't able to mask the hurt completely.

Tsuna's breathe was knocked out of him at the sight.

"No…" The mini Tsuna suddenly said softly and everyone's eyes looked at him in astonishment. "I-I'm not sure if I s-still like Kyoko-chan…" He added in a small tone so only Tsuna could hear.

Tsuna's eyes widened. What?

What?

"Just now, what did you say" Tsuna said as he held up his mini counterpart to face him but the small one was avoiding his eyes.

"I-I'm not sure I-I like K-Kyoko-chan anymore." The small one whispered.

"What? But I've like her since elementary! What makes you say that-?" Tsuna's eyes shifted to Yamamoto who was looking at the scene in puzzlement while the mini Yamamoto looked hurt and tears were at the corner of his eyes at what the brunet had said.

Tsuna kept his mouth shut as he put his small self down.

Oh.

Oh.

"My heart races when I'm with Yamamoto." Tsuna thought he could hear his mini self in his head. But from the expression on Yamamoto's face he couldn't hear it. "It inflates when Yamamoto smiles…" Tsuna blushed and he held the mini Tsuna closer in his arms. The mini Tsuna was now facing Yamamoto with a blushing face but also with a determined look. "I don't know what this means. I'm so confused, but… I'm sure that something is changing, and that something is my feelings towards Yamamoto."

Silence.

Tsuna gulped, his mouth suddenly feeling dry as he looked at his rain guardian. Out of all his guardians he was closest with Yamamoto because the other lad was the most normal but to extent that he liked him like the way he liked Kyoko-chan?

Something must be wrong with this picture!

"Tsuna, look." Yamamoto started speaking and the brunet's attention snapped to the other immediately. The amber eyes were looking at him with gentle understanding, speeding up his heartbeat in the process. "I don't want things to be awkward between us. I'd rather we forget what happened today and remain friends. Is that okay with you?"

Tsuna's eyes widened and on his lap, tears started to gather in the mini Tsuna's eyes. Tsuna could feel his heart constrict painfully at what the rain said. The two Yamamotos looked at the small Tsuna in astonishment.

No…

"Tsuna?" Yamamoto said and he loosened his hold on the small Yamamoto who jumped up and rushed to the mini brunet in worry. The small Yamamoto patted the chubby cheek of the sniffling mini Tsuna.

"I-" Tsuna choked and his eyes were still wide and Yamamoto half-rose out of his chair in concern. Bangs covered the brown eyes and Tsuna's cheeks burned as he looked down.

"Don't!" Mini Tsuna cried and mini Yamamoto tilted his head in confusion at the other's sadness.

"Huh?" He asked in confusion. The original Yamamoto was looking also in confusion.

"To forget about what you said…" Tsuna said in a small voice as Yamamoto turned his attention to him. "To remain friends after what happened…" The brunet looked up in exhaustion and sadness, making the baseball idol stiffen slightly. "Do you think that's still possible?"

Silence.

Mini Tsuna held up his arms and hugged the stunned mini version of the rain. "Yamamoto I-!" Tears ran down the flushed cheeks. "I-I think I like you too!"

Tsuna, Yamamoto, and the mini version of the rain guardian's eyes widened.

"W-What?" Yamamoto said breathlessly and Tsuna looked at his counterpart. The mini Yamamoto was too stunned to say anything. Tsuna gulped and looked at his mini self who was sniffling cutely while fiercely blushing. The young boss could feel his own heart throbbing against his ribs.

"I…" Tsuna swallowed thickly as he looked at Yamamoto in determination. He didn't know what would happen after he said the words that had been weighing him down for quite a while. But he couldn't turn back, not now… Because if he did, he might lose and hurt Yamamoto. That's why he- "I like you too Yama-!"

"Oof!"

Long and gentle arms suddenly gripped the brunet into a surprising hug. Tsuna found his eyes widening and his cheeks burning at the feel of Yamamoto hugging him so gently and with suppressed emotions.

"Tsuna…" Yamamoto sounded so breathless in the brunet's ear. "Please tell me you're not joking. Please tell me you're serious…" He whispered.

And the soft trembling and anxiousness behind that soft voice was enough to strengthen Tsuna's resolve and feelings as he placed his arms around the rain. "Yes, i-it's true." He blushed as he leaned against the other. "I'm serious."

Tsuna felt Yamamoto let out a surprised breath and then the idol pulled back and looked at Tsuna's face. When he saw no doubt in the red face, the handsome guardian's face broke into a happy smile, freezing Tsuna on the spot.

Mini Tsuna's face made a cute 'poof' sound as it exploded into red. Mini Yamamoto was laughing an exhilarating laugh.

"Thank you." Yamamoto said in a contented voice and before Tsuna could see it coming, Yamamoto leaned down and captured his lips.

Brown eyes widened as mini Yamamoto's face exploded into red like mini Tsuna's. "Soft…" The mini Yamamoto whispered making Tsuna's blush deepen.

Yamamoto pulled back and gave off another brilliant smile. "I like you Tsuna…"

Tsuna looked down but a smile was on his face as he replied. "I-I like you too."

Mini Yamamoto and mini Tsuna smiled at each other before they stood up. Mini Tsuna shyly walked towards Yamamoto while the small version of Yamamoto walked cheerfully to the original brunet. It seemed like Yamamoto was smiling from his heart now.

"Hm?" Yamamoto said as he felt someone tugging him. He looked down and saw mini Tsuna signaling him to lean down. Yamamoto leaned the side of his face to the small version of his boss to hear what he had to say.

"Chu!" Amber eyes widened when he felt a small pair of lips kiss him on the cheek.

Meanwhile, Tsuna was looking down at the mini Yamamoto who had successfully climbed his way to his arms.

"Tsuna!" Mini Yamamoto called out cheerfully as he reached out his tiny arms to the brunet.

"Huh?" Tsuna said as he leaned down to the small boy. The small rain guardian smiled as he leaned up and gave the brunet a small kiss right on the lips.

POOF!

Amber and brown eyes widened at the same time as pink smoke surrounded the small versions of themselves.

Pretty soon, the new couple found themselves looking at empty space with fierce blushes on their faces.

"JYUUDAIME!" The brunet's guardians suddenly rushed into the living room, surprising Tsuna as they gathered around him.

"Jyuudaime! I figured out who turf top likes!" Gokudera shouted and Ryohei tried to pull back the storm.

"Octopus head! You're an extremely terrible friend!" Ryohei said as he tried to wrestle the bomber away.

"Boss, the mini people have vanished and the cow child has come back." Chrome said as she lifted her arms to show a nose-picking five-year-old Lambo.

"Herbivore, where is the baby? Let me fight him, I've already defeated the pineapple herbivore." Hibari said with a glare.

"Oya, it seems like Hibari Kyoya is in denial that he was the one who was defeated." Mukuro laughed sadistically.

"E-Everyone please c-calm down!" Tsuna said referring mostly to Hibari and Mukuro whose bllodlust was growing again.

"Ahaha!" Yamamoto laughed as he placed his arm around Tsuna's waist, surprising everyone and successfully silencing them. "Maa, maa let's all calm down now! Don't get Tsuna so stressed!"

"Oi! Where do you think you're touching-!"

"EXTREME! CONGRATULATIONS YAMAMOTO!"

"Boss, I'm happy for you."

"Dame-Tsuna play with Lambo-san!"

"Public Display of Affection is against the rules, herbivores."

"The skylark is just sad that he has no one like that." Cue the tonfa and the dodging.

BANG!

Everyone was silenced once more when a bullet lodge itself to the wall behind Tsuna.

"Hmph, it seems like you found the solution to the earlier problem." Reborn smirked as he came in tilting his fedora. "Tell me, how did you find out?"

"Find out what Reborn-san?" Gokudera asked, momentarily forgetting about killing the rain guardian.

"Finding out that the only way for everything to return normal was to be honest with each other." Reborn said and everyone processed his words silently. "I lied about the purpose of that bazooka. It isn't actually a failed invention of Giannini's, it's actually his first successful one. It's a bazooka that shows the true heart of the one who gets hit. If a person who is hit is dishonest and wishes to let his deepest secrets out, then a mini form of their selves will suddenly appear. The purpose of those smaller versions of yourselves was to make you more honest about your feelings. Their purpose was to teach you. Do you understand?"

Ryohei and Gokudera looked at each other, the Italian had a begrudging expression while Ryohei was grinning. Chrome hugged Lambo tighter to her chest as she smiled. Hibari and Mukuro glared daggers at each other. And Tsuna and Yamamoto gave a quick side glance to one another.

"Now, Dame-Tsuna do you want to know what the next lesson is?" Reborn said and his eyes shone mischievously as Tsuna squealed.

"HIEEE! No more lessons!" Tsuna shouted and Yamamoto laughed as he pulled Tsuna closer to him.

"Maa, Tsuna calm down. Why don't we go out for a quick walk and calm you down." The raven-haired said as he kissed the brunet on the cheek successfully quieting him and making him beet red at the same time.

"Oi! How dare you kiss tenth!" Gokudera shouted as he pulled out his dynamites.

"Leave them extremely alone Octopus head!" Ryohei tried to pull the bomber back.

Kya, shounen-ai… Chrome blushed shyly to herself.

"Kufufu, you look like you want to murder someone skylark." Mukuro said and Hibari's glare sharpened.

"Yes. You." He answered.

"Lambo-san is boooooored!" Lambo yawned.

Reborn sighed as he shook his head and went out of the living room to make his way to Tsuna's bedroom. He had to inform Iemitsu about Tsuna's new boyfriend. Boy, was he looking forward to the Outside Advisor's reaction to it and what he would do next (1).

Dame-Tsuna, you have everything you want now. Grip it with resolve and don't let go of this happiness. Reborn said as he climbed the stairs. Because that is a true boss. He treasures happy moments like these and fights for them too.

Reborn smirked as he finally arrived in front of Tsuna's room. But still-

The sound of the front door opening alerted Reborn's ear.

"HIIIEEE! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FRONT YARD!"

Reborn pulled down his fedora with a fond smile. You still have a lot more to learn, oh stupid student of mine.
