Salvation (KHR fanfic)

Chapter 10 part 2

Natsu stood by his brother's bed, awkwardly, constantly shifting his weight, from one foot to the other.

'Gawd, what should I say..?' He questioned himself as he stared at Tsuna's peaceful sleeping face,'After what I saw last night, or should I say early morning?– It would be pretty awkward for me to start acting normal with him again...'

A slight groan escaped the sleeping brunette's mouth, but his eyes didnt show any signs of waking up anytime soon.

Natsu wailed and decided to wait a few more minutes before waking up the teen. He sat down on one of Tsuna's bean bags and slouched there, thinking of what to say.

'This isn't like me... Usually, talking to someone is a piece of cake!' He complained in his mind,'Then why am I acting like a wimp, now!?' He mentally ranted while his eyes kept darting everywhere around his step-brother's room till it fell on a plush rabbit.

His eyes widen once he saw it's limp form as he remembered about all the insane stuff the object has said. More like, how did it even speak in the first place!?

Getting up from his rather comfortable seat, he walked over to the plush and noticed the pathetic attempt of patching on it's ear. 'Must have been from yesterday.' He concluded.

Cautiously, he slowly brought his index finger towards the plush, in a poking formation. Once his finger made contact with the non-living item, he quickly brought it back incase something would happen, but nothing did.

Sighing of relief, he observed the plush. He scoped it up and twisted and turned it everywhere, not leaving any spot unseen. Seeing nothing wrong with the plush, he set it down, wondering why and how it could talk.

'It doesn't seem like the plush has speakers or a switch to talk with...' Natsu thought,'Weird..'

Natsu sighed,"Maybe I really was just dreaming..." He muttered out and focused his attention back to Tsuna,"I better wake him up now, its already 3 in the afternoon..."

Nodding in agreement with himself, Natsu stepped closer to the slumbering brunette, and shook him gently,"Tsu, wake up. You've been sleeping for too long." 'Not really. You just recently slept.' He backed up in his mind.

Seeing no response, he shook harder,"Tsu! Come on, lazy butt! Mum is getting worried!!" He said, louder.

A snore emitted from Tsuna.

That was the last straw.

Natsu wasn't really known for his patience and did what he knew in types of situations such as this.

Grabbing the bed mattress as hard as he could, he pulled with all his force, causing the mattress to say goodbye from the bed structure and also causing the person on it, to fall on the uncomfortable and painful, bed.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR!?" Tsuna snapped, as his body ungracefully made contact with the mattress-less bed,"THAT REALLY HURT!" His used to be peaceful looking expression completely disappeared and was replaced with a scowl.

"WELL YOU DIDNT WAKE UP WHEN I WAS SHAKING YOU!" Natsu snapped too, since his patience wasn't really that long in the first place.

"SO!? COULDNT YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF A BETTER IDEA THAN DOING THAT!?" Tsuna spat,"WHAT IF I GOT HURT!? OH WAIT– I ALREADY AM!" He said and gestured to the bruise forming on his left thigh.

"TAKE THE PAIN LIKE A MAN!" Natsu growled out,"IT ISNT EVEN THAT BIG!"

"THAT DOESNT MATTER! WHAT MATTERS IS THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR, I GOT HURT!" Tsuna glared at his brother,"WHAT IF IT WAS A DIFFERENT SITUATION!? WHAT IF BECAUSE OF YOU BEING SO FREAKING RECKLESS, EVERYONE GOT HURT!?"
