A True Sky

CHAPTER 19: KUMA-CHAN

Gokudera almost skip while walking on a familiar streets he tread for the last weeks. He is in a good mood judging by his frown-free face where a smile was placed instead. In his hands were two bags of assorted fruit he intend to give as a gift. He did not plan to buy that much but when he remember he don’t actually know what his Tsunayoshi-sama wants, he ended up buying two pieces of each fruit he found.

“Tsunayoshi-sama!” he called in front of the simple two-storey house of the Sawada’s.

A few minutes had passed but no one respond so he tried again, “Tsunayoshi-sama!” The house was eerie quiet and Gokudera was starting to have a bad feeling. He take a peek on the front yard and his dread spiked when he noticed an upturned flower pot.

He took a deep breath and tried to reassure himself, “Maybe it just fall on its own…”

“Tsu—” Glasses breaking from the house interrupted him. His heart fell from his chest as he lose hold of the bags. He rushed to the house, dynamites in one hand while the other throw the door open. “Tsunayoshi-sama!”

“Ow!”

He run to the source of the voice and ended up in the kitchen. He did a quick scan of the vicinity, looking for any sign of intruder. Everything seems to be in place except for a broken glass on the floor.

“Shit!” someone groaned and Gokudera looked down. A butt was sticking out from under the table and wiggling.

Gokudera crouched down from the side and came eye to eye to the older Sawada twin.

“And just who are you trying to seduce?” he asked in a flat tone. An apple hit him square in the face.

Sawada Ietsuna crawl out from under the table and pick up the apple that roll to the other side of the room. It will be his breakfast since his mom went out to see a piano recital with her friends while he was still asleep. He don’t feel like cooking so he had to make do.

He throw another glance at the knocked out silver-head on the floor then left with a huff. He really don’t care. It was Gokudera’s fault in the first place. He’s just trying to get the apple he dropped and he barged in giving weird accusation. Ietsuna went back to his room to change and hang out with his own friends.

“Gokudera-kun…” a soft voice called making the silver-haired bomber stir in his sleep. He groaned before opening his eyes groggily. His eyesight were fuzzy at first but he could make out blurry fluffy brown hair and unclear face staring at him. He blink his eyes a few times before everything cleared and he found himself staring at his Tsunayoshi-sama.

He bolt up from the floor and look around before focusing on the brunet. At least there’s no sign of the damn blondie.

“Why are you sleeping down there, Gokudera-kun?”

“I apologize Tsunayoshi-sama. I got hit in the face and k-knocked down,” the Smokin’ bomb admitted and pale afterwards. It wouldn’t be good if Tsuna thought he was weak. “I was caught off guard that’s all.”

“Mou…what have you been doing?” the brunet mutter before proceeding upstairs. Gokudera was left standing in the kitchen. He was confused if he should follow or remain in his spot.

“You coming?”

“H-Hai!”

Tsuna lead the bomber to his room and let him sit on his bed. Gokudera was actually there to help him on the lessons he ‘didn’t’ understand. It wasn’t far from the truth though, he had lots of absences so he didn’t know what their lessons are.
