Never Alone

My Selfish Request

Tsuna POV

On the first day I was chosen by it, I was so scared that I cried.

I couldn't stop thinking about death that will certainly come to me in short time. And that makes me even clumsier.

I really don't want any of my family to know because I know how hard they will take it. So I tried my best to keep things up as I told Checkerface and Vindicare boss to say nothing about it either.

It was easy to hid things from everyone for the first few weeks. But now, after one year has passed, my body just can't handle the same mount of training portion.

I'm getting weaker each days. And Kawahira's mist flames were running out...

The load of stress caused me to knocked out cold, and that gained me lots of questions from Reborn and my guardians. in which I then realized that I cannot hide forever.

I have to tell them, so in case my time is coming, they are prepared for it...

And so, now, in my bedroom at Vongola mansion, I told my guardians and the whole alliance to gather for the big news...

"How unusual of you to call us like this. Is there something really urgent, otouto?" Asked Dino-nii.

It was indeed unusual for me to call them with such a short notice. And moreover, I asked My advisor, Reborn to make sure that each one of them would come by any means.

"-And why are you in bed, Tsuna-kun? Are you sick or something?" Enma asked in concern.

"Well, sort of..." I replied with a weak smile before then I coughed harshly for several times causing cries of panic from my friends.

I could feel two hands that belongs to Kyoko and Haru, rubbing my back.

I told them that I'm fine but now curious and concerned gazes landed on me.

"Tsuna, tell us what's happening..." Reborn asked with a look of anxiety that could only be seen after spending years with him.

I glanced on each of my family member before then I began to spoke, "minna..." I called lowly as a weak yet sad smile making it's way to my face.

"-there's something that I must tell you..." and no one make any noises after that. Even the children behave...

"On 29th March, last year, Bermuda send me a critical news that the sky pacifier went missing..." gasps could be heard, but before any of them could questioned, I raised my hand so I could continue. Luckily, they understand.

"I know some of you were questioning on how can that be and where it went to. And believe me, I was the same as you. And so I sneaked out of the mansion to visit Kawahira since he's the Tri-Ni-Sette advisor."

"-I was surprised to see that Yuni, Byakuran, Dino-nii, and Xanxus there." -the said people perked their ears at this.

"Oi Trash! What do you mean with us being there at that Scum's place!" Xanxus asked.

"Yeah, I don't remember a thing on going there, Tsu-chan" said Byakuran.

"Well of course you none of you could remember, because your memory of that time got erased after the ritual finished..."

"Ritual? What ritual? And if none of us could remember then why can you, Tsuna-san?" Yuni asked.

I smiled at her, "let me continue my story first, okay?" And they reluctantly nodded.

"So, as I were saying. I was surprised to see you guys over there. And I could see the shock on your eyes too.

I then asked what were you doing there. But before any of you could answer there's a blinding light that came from the thing on Kawahira's palm.

And that thing was the missing sky arcobaleno..."

Yuni gasped, "Wait a minute... if the pacifier glow, doesn't that mean..."

I smiled weakly as I took out the chained pacifier from behind of my undershirt.

"Well, as you can see... the sky pacifier had chose me to be its next and last barrier..." I told them as I unwrapped the chains.

I cringed at the pain as that 3/4 cleared pacifier glowed on my pale palm.

"N-No way..." Haru and the girls closed their mouths.

"Why didn't you tell us, Tsuna-sama?" Gokudera asked with pained voice that I hate.

"G-Gomenasai..." I apologized, "at first, I thought that it'll be better if no ones know. The same reason why I agreed when Kawahira erased your memories... But then I realized that it's unfair for you if I left you just like that..."

"Indeed, that was so unfair..." Reborn said with his fedora shadowed his eyes. I couldn't see his expression, but I assumed that he's mad.

I could faintly see my friends gritting their teeth and clenching their fists too. They looked angry.

"Once again, I'm sorry... I underestimating our bond." I lowered my head as well unconsciously reaching my ached chest.

'Kuso... of all time, why it has to be now?!' But still I continue my apology.

"-I understand if you're mad at me for hiding this, but if you would... could you please fulfill my selfish request and stay by my side 'till the very end...?" I asked but then I hear no reply...

and realizing this makes my heart shattered in pieces. It hurts a lot more than the curse itself...

'They must be hating me now... oh well, at least I'm no longer lying to myself...' I thought as I fainted under the extreme pain I felt...

I missed the look on my family's faces when I fall...
