Even though he's been freed from those needles his agony continues, changing form from physical torture into psychological abuse. The same usual bad treatment from his family members happened during days.

Well, it's a bit different now. He has his second family on his side, to which he prefer to call as his real family. Every weekend Aria, Gamma, Loke, and his dear sisters gathered either at the coffee bar, at Giglio Nero Fagmilia's mansion, or sometimes at the park.

He's genuinely happy when they're around although at the same time he's hurting. Driven by negativity, his new power consumes his light from the inside. Too much happiness is somewhat painful. But only having it in like, one day per week, he doesn't minded that much. His daily basis is depressing enough, he needs an escape despite how painful it is.

Another weekend had arrived. 14th of October, His dear family had promised to meet him at the bar, Tsuna was happy enough from the coincidence, liking the fact that for once in his life he gets to share his birthday with people he loved. 

unbeknown of him, they've settled a surprise party for him.

'It's dark... am I too early to come? Did Loke-san overslept again?' He sweatdropped seeing how the light hadn't been turned on. Well, he did escaped the house early today, It was the twins' birthday, it would be disaster if he's around in such important day.

But never mind that, he entered the darkened room, tracing the wall, jumping a bit to turned on the light. He was not surprised to find no one, however...

'it's too quiet isn't it?" He blinked suspiciously

"Loke-san? Riki! Riku! Where are you?" He shouted and did it repeatedly for at least five more times. Genuinely disappointed that he didn't hear any answer.

'maybe they left...? but knowing that I'll be here they didn't lock the door?' he sighed exasperatedly. 

Sad that his hope came crashing, he dragged his little feet, making a beeline towards the exist when he's suddenly being lifted up as confetti popped out surrounding him. Startled, yet he's not as alarmed, especially not when he heard cheers of—

"Happy Birthday Tsuna-nii!"

"Happy Birthday Tsuna-kun!"

Eyes widened, he jaw dropped. If he had remembered correctly he never once mentioned about this except towards the ex-blacksmith...

Gamma was the one who lifted him, Aria, Riki and Yuni holds up the party poppers whilst Riku and Loke pushing the cart of huge cake into the room. Everyone's smiling, but the stunned lad himself that is.

"so, do you have anything to say, Tsuna?" Riku's brow wiggled playfully at the speechless boy

After a while he gulped "thank you..." he's grinning ear to ear by now.

"Now Tsuna-kun say your prayer then blow the candles" Aria chirped.

He nodded, eyes closed as he happily took all the flames out. And with that, their little party finally started.

'Happy Birthday for me!'

Everyone can see that Tsuna smiled and share more laughter on this day. But what did they didn't notice is the fact that the boy has been secretively clutching onto his chest once in a while.
