Together at Last...

That New Student : Listening to him

Ietusna panicked to see his friend becoming a crying mess.

'I know it's a bad idea!!' he scolded himself.

"I'm sorry, Ie-kun... I trully am... please forgive me!" The older sobbed onto his chest, begging for forgiveness.

"e-eh? why???"

"I-I'm being unfair... To you... To them... All of you suffer because of me... I-I'm such a failure" 

"Never enough. Being myself is not enough. I should have tried harder. Failure. Failure. FailureFailureFailureFailureFailureFailure" 

Ietsuna's eyes snapped open as he saw his counterpart hyperventilating.

"Yoshi-kun! H-Hey, Calm down okay? You're more than enough. W-We can fix this. It's just a kid brawl, ne? B-Breathe. Come on, Listen to me" He said as he tried to guide the older.

"That's it. You're getting there. Inhale... exhale..." Ietsuna doesn't want to push his friend any further, therefore he just let him cries his worry while he rubs his back soothingly, whispering soft assurance. "I'm not going to leave you. Not again. We can fix this"

It took some minutes before Tsuna settled down. 

"I'm sorry for crying like that, Ie-kun. It's just that... the news, it breaks my heart a bit, I guess. I mean, Knowing that you were hurting from their behavior and the top of it, I was the reason..." He said looking down. "I never intent to do that. But if they really think so then I... I also have my own reason..."

"a-ah don't worry Yoshi-kun. I'm fine... well, it's disturbing and painful, I won't lie.  but hey, you're here for me. That's all matter." Ietsuna smiled at him and likewise, Tsuna smiled back with a new discovery in his eyes.

Wrecking his brain past the headaches, he thought of another plan. 

Killing two birds with one stone.

With eyes slightly widened at the idea, he reeled out his phone and began to dial some numbers, getting off the bed as he make the calls.

From the way he talked, Ietsuna could tell that his counterpart is calling for his storm. But for once, instead of smile, the younger saw a rare scowl on the older brunet's face. He looked furious. And the gloved boy could tell that asking what's going on won't do any good, therefore he just remained silent.

Once Tsuna finished with all of his phone calls he turned back to the younger, his smile is tainted and petty much strained, "Come on Ie-kun. I need you to meet some people..." 

"e-eh? w-where are we going Yoshi-kun?" But the sky didn't answer and instead, he carried the younger out of his room, eyes glowing amber. He asked Caelum to tag along, The man questioned but never really pry as he drove the two youngsters to the Sawada residence.

Ietsuna glanced at Tsuna, intending to say something but shook his head instead. "Yoshi-kun... are you okay?" he had asked for the nth time already, like before, he never get his answer. This time, however, the older is noticeably shaking like a leaf, eyes shut with much force his hand's squeezing the gloved ones as he chewed his pale, almost bluish lips.

Only then, the ice boy noticed the reason why he's not as dizzy and felt much better already.

Tsuna is feeding him his flames.

"Idiot!"

He pushed the older away from him. "What are you doing??? You're going to hurt your self!"

The sky opened his eyes, chuckling weakly, "don't worry. I'll be fine. Besides, I need you to understand the whole thing after this. I can't have your power went out of control because of the shock."
