Bed of Roses.

EPILOGUE

"You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not." –Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

His beloved rose garden wilted, as dried, brown, rose petals fall down to the ground. His luggage was packed and his house was going to be demolished soon. Hundreds, thousands years of legacy, history and culture destroyed into sand and dust.

His hands clutching tightly to his suitcase, he stalked out of the house.

He wanted nothing to be left of this place. The vicious cycle of reincarnation and unrequited love shall never occur again.

This time, he will grant Reborn's wish.

"Let's go, Gokudera-kun, this place is going to collapse anytime."

"Of course, Tsuna-sama," Gokudera replied as they retreated out of the house.

The sun was setting again, a reminiscence of what they had before.

"Where are we headed to?" Gokudera asked, concerned as Tsuna threw his suitcase into the car.

"Let's travel around the world, Gokudera-kun, and go anywhere but here." Tsuna muttered, and boarded on to the vehicle. Gokudera could not help but think that Tsuna has indeed changed.

Perhaps it's for the better, but he could not help but notice that Tsuna's smiles were filled with sadness. They travelled round the country and migrated to France, but eventually Gokudera got used to it, because there's nothing to quell Tsuna's loneliness.

Then one day, they went to Milan, when Tsuna was at a unique coffee house that serves only the best coffee at an affordable price, but only few knows of it. He was daydreaming, Gokudera observed, as he sipped his ice latte.

The brunet was biting on his straw, probably drawing some images in the air when someone entered into the café. He was still daydreaming then, as Gokudera stared at his dark eyed circles.

The man went straight to the counter.

"Espresso, double shot."

Tsuna was still daydreaming. The man settled down to the seat very next to the brunet. He was still daydreaming.

"Hello. My name is Reborn."

Tsuna snapped his head up immediately. Gokudera could feel awe-he could never make the brunet feel this way.

"I've been waiting for you."

END

E/N:

I've been planning a happy ending from the start, but this isn't really one, is it?

Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, comments, alerts and stuff . I'll be taking a short hiatus from FFN because of school, and my updates would be very random.

Thank you all.
