Contract

Chapter 15

Tsuna and Dino had spent the whole morning together talking to each other, sharing brotherly secrets without a second thought, trying to get into the good relationship that had been forgotten over the years. Though it was still shaky here and there, they were trying to connect, that was the main and most important thing.

Reborn simply remained to the side, listening and watching, somewhat forgotten, but that was fine with him. Of course, he got to see Dino's clumsiness first hand when the blonde tripped and cracked the dining table in half, forcing the three to eat at the kitchen counter. And soon after, Dino had made a mess while eating breakfast, bended some of the silverware, among many other things.

Tsuna eventually snapped and kicked Dino out during lunch so that he wouldn't have to replace more things his brother had managed to destroy. But he, of course, made sure to cook a full course meal for the blonde to take home, giving it to Dino's men instead when they came around to pick him up so that it would actually make it back in one piece. As the blonde left the dorm room, he made a loud promise that he would be back soon to visit.

Days continued to pass by and eventually came the day to get checked up by the doctor to take off the cast. Reborn decided to follow along as always to keep the other company and to listen to the progress, he was hoping for the best this time.

"Ah, Sawada Tsunayoshi, correct?" The doctor, a different one compared to the last one they had been visiting, asked and received a hesitant nod from the brunet. "The previous doctor you've been seeing is on vacation right now so I'll be doing your check-up on your arm today, alright? Hopefully your arm will be fully healed by today. Oh! And who's this?" It was at that point the doctor took notice of the other person who had followed the brunet in. His eyes narrowed at the sight of the taller man, remaining very close by to Tsuna, almost protectively. The raven simply glared, moving away slightly to shift to the side with his arms crossed.

"Chaos," Reborn smirked, flicking his fedora up with a finger. "I'm Reborn, a friend of Tsuna's."

"I see, well, if possible could you wait outside? I have some things I would like to ask Sawada privately. Patient confidentiality, you know?"

"Wait, Reborn can stay. I don't mind, he's been helping me this entire time while I've been recovering." Tsuna spoke up with a smile on his face, obviously happy that Reborn considered him as a friend. It was a dream came true. He never had a friend before so it was a wonderful feeling and he turned to the raven with a grin. The doctor chuckled at the eagerness the student showed and flipped open the clipboard to begin asking questions on how Tsuna had been and whatnot. The brunet replied without any hesitation, trying to answer as truthfully as possible.

"Alright, I've gotten everything I've needed. Seems like you've had no problems lately and that's a good sign. Let's check on that arm of yours," Immediately, the doctor went to work, removing the casting, but left the loose wraps underneath on so he could get the x-rays on the arm. He didn't want to take it off just in case it needed to be re-casted or placed into a sling. As he waited for the results from the lab, the doctor asked a few more questions. "Now, Sawada, you haven't had any more incidents for a while right? What about your nightmares? Have those been under control?"

Reborn perked up at that, his eyes going straight to Tsuna. "Nightmares?"

The doctor raised an eyebrow at that, realizing his mistake on asking such a question. He turned to Tsuna, about to voice something, when the brunet replied. "They come and go, but they seem to be getting better," Right after replying, the Capturer twisted around in his seat to get a better look at the raven. "Sorry, I didn't tell you before, but I have a tendency to have nightmares for no reason. I...don't really know why."
