Loop 2

"It's all that stupid cow's fault," Gokudera said that the moment he walked into Tsuna's room.

"Is not!" Lambo countered, chest puffed up in indignation as he glared at the Storm.

"You're the only one in our Family who would get us stuck in a time loop." Gokudera shot back.

"For the last time, I wasn't anywhere near the bazooka! Just like I wasn't anywhere near it the first time we looped!" Lambo huffed in irritation. "I hadn't touched it since I turned 12! And last time, I immediately left it at the Bovino's lab the second I could! How could all of this be my fault!?"

"Now, now. What matters is that everyone is here and healthy." Yamamoto interjected with a calm voice. "Let's discuss what went wrong the last time and make up a new plan, yeah?"

Both Gokudera and Lambo glared at each other for a few moment before they looked away and joined the others at the low table.

Loop 3

Ignoring the gawking Bovinos, Gokudera walked through the hallway and stopped in front of a door. With a small sigh, he rest his hand on the handle and pushed it down.

Walking into the room, he noted how the place looked like it had just been ransacked, or as if a small hurricane had passed through. He also noticed Lambo curled up into a small ball at the center of the mess, the sound of him crying could be heard.

He made sure his footsteps are heavy so the young boy would hear it but he still couldn't help but wince at the obvious flinch from the young Lighting. Stopping just a few feet away from him, Gokudera crouched down and said nothing.

"...I'm sorry..." Lambo finally said to him in between his sniffling.

Gokudera just sighed. Carefully, he picked the boy up and craddled him against his chest, using whatever meager Rain flame he has to calm the Bovino down.

"It's not your fault, Lambo. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Gokudera assured as he ran his fingers through Lambo's curl. "I'm not mad at you. You know that right?"

A small nod from the Bovino was all it took for Gokudera's growing worry to ease a little.

"C'mon, let's go see if we can find Mukuro and ask him to give that bastard a living hell." he stood up and walked out, ignoring the questioning looks from the Bovino members as he carried Lambo.

"...can we get gelato along the way?"

Gokudera laughed lightly at that. "Sure. Heck, we can even invite Mukuro and see if you can guilt-trip him into eating flavors other than chocolate."

The smile on Lambo's face was enough to lessen the guilt in his heart.
