Mental Institution (KHR Fanfic)

Chapter 18

"Stupid Tsuna..." The Afro child began,"Are.. Are you sad?" He asked with a childish tone.

Tsuna sniffled, opened his eyes and smiled gently at the child,"Yeah..." He whispered, placing a hand on Lambo's gigantic hair,"But I'll be fine..."

From Lambo's position-- he sat sitting on Gokudera's head-- the cow patterned boy could easily see the brunette's eyes and the emotions swirling in them, cause he too, has been hoisted from the ground.

Lambo nodded, a childish grin making its way on his face,"Of course you'll be fine!" He boasted,"The great Lambo-Sama is here after all~!"

Tsuna grinned back and nodded with a hum of agreement before looking forward then closed his eyes once more, leaning on to the person carrying him.

Lambo's grinned dropped. He turned towards the person below him,"Oi! Stupid octopus!" He called.

Instantly, the child got a response filled with rage,"HUH?!" The silver haired teen yelled,"WHAT DID YOU SAY, BROCCOLI?!"

Oddly, instead of retorting back, Lambo ordered the teen,"Gokudera, Stupid Tsuna is sad... Do something to make him feel better." He commanded.

"Something..?" Gokudera echoed, ignoring the demanding tone in the child's voice,"Even if you tell me to.." His eyes landed on the brunette,"I don't know what to do..." He answered solemnly.

Yamamoto softly grunted and shifted his hold on the boy above him. He sighed, an image of his friend's dead body flashed before his very eyes. He blinked. It was gone.

The baseball player felt the brunette he was carrying lean in towards him even more, until he was limp.

'Must be sleeping..' Yamamoto thought to himself,'Please.. Have pleasant dreams.' With that resolve, rain flame gathered around the raven and encircled the brunette, filling him with peace.

"Looks like Yamamoto beat you to it." Lambo announced, watching the rain flames flex and bend like actual water. Well, more like a water show.

Gokudera growled but stayed silent. It was true. When it ever came to these type of situations, he was useless. Utterly useless.

The Afro child patted the silver haired teen on the head,"It's okay. Y'know." He said,"Everyone has something they are good at. Well, except me. I'm good at everything." He huffed.

Gokudera scoffed at the poor attempt of reassurance,"Good at everything? More like, good at absolutely nothing." He retorted.

"Hey!" Lambo yelled,"I'm good at stuff!"

"Oh yeah. I completely forgot." Gokudera said,"You are good at something."

"It's about time you noticed!"

"You're good at being a coward." Gokudera declared.

Lambo cried.

A grumble. That's what the group heard.

Quickly, they turned to the reason of the sound. Only to find a flushed Yamamoto.

"Oops." Yamamoto nervously laughed."Looks like I'm hungry." He said, holding his stomach."Sorry about that~"

Tsuna opened his eyes slowly,"Me too.." He agreed, sleepily. He let out a yawn,"Where are we..?"

Chrome looked around,"It won't take long till we find the exit." She looked back at the brunette,"Once we've gotten out, we can head to the cafeteria. I'm sure there's food in there."

"Sounds like a plan!" Lambo exclaimed."I'm so glad I thought of it."

"You did not!" Gokudera yelled.
