Together at Last...

That New Student : hears everything

It has been some months ever since Ietsuna joined their little circle. The gang, however, is starting to dislike his presence after days. All is because Tsuna is paying more attention to him than them. And Jealousy has always been something nasty.

Had the sky treated him as equal or something, this would never happened. However, as time goes it's starting get noticeable on how the world seemed to revolved around the Younger brunet.

It's always Ietsuna this and Ietsuna that.

Everyday. Every given moment.

Tsuna changed. They noticed.

The reason is unknown, and the teen never said a word regarding the matter.

And there's only so much the group can take before they snapped.

Sure, Takeshi still smiled like how the girls are else , even Hayato has learnt to toned down his foul mouth. But that only lasted when their sky is around.

When the older brunet isn't nearby, they don't bother to mask their cold treatment towards that new student. They made it obvious actually. Even Kyoya and Mukuro partake on the psychological assault. 

The gloved boy tried to ignore the stink-eyes and stay optimist for Tsuna's sake. But it's getting hard each passing days...

It was only a normal day in the middle of winter, when he hears everything...

.oOo.

Ietsuna was strolling around in this nice weather— It's snowing.

He has always adores snowflakes. They are the true representation of beauty in his opinion. Not flowers that lasted for a season, nor fireworks with their flamboyant color. No. Snowflakes are soft and gentle as they fall from the sky. A blessing, pretty as it lasted. It reminds him to cherish what he has before they're gone.

Puffing out a freezing breath out of his mouth, he mutters, "I wonder if Yoshi-kun and the others would teach me how to play snow fights" he chuckled softly as he heard giggles of little children who are currently engaged on the said game.

As he turned on the corner, he saw two children dressing a snow man. That brunet smirked as he made a replica of it with his power. 

He chuckled, "what a cheater~ This one won't melt in any season..." he shoved it into his pocket.

Continuing his stroll he think back on how his step-father won't be around for the rest of week. He have things to do at Italy and the boy refused to come. He wanted to spend his favorite season with his friends.

Tsuna had called him that morning, saying that he wanted to play with snow along with everyone. Never really get to play with someone his age before, Ietsuna of course beamed at the suggestion He was overly excited that he made a run to the said place, which is the school yard, far before the time mentioned. He just simply couldn't wait.

Grinning like a dork, his eyes lit up as he saw the said group. Ietsuna was about to greet them, yet his intuition told him to run.

Why?

He doesn't know. Therefore, he hides in confusion instead.

—That's when he heard them...

"That son of bitch! how dare him take Jyuudaime away from us!" This voice... 

'Gokudera?' Ietsuna blinked.

"As much I want to befriend with him. I... I really couldn't take this" a sigh escaped Takeshi's lips.
