Chapter 5: Rain's Doubt

??? POV

I... don't exactly know what exactly has happened.
All that I know is that I was on my way home after my extra practice when I hear someone calling for me. Calling my name in much of a hurry... and now, I'm on the ground...?
'-just what's going on...?'

#Back to this afternoon

Normal POV
That black-haired boy, his name is Yamamoto, and he has been seen wearing a fake smile everywhere. So often that many have been deceived into thinking that he is smiling.

Many... but not all...
Because Tsuna has seen right through him since very long. But being a coward he is while Yamamoto was known as the athletic star, he just cannot reach the Raven no matter how much he wanted to wipe that painful smile.
And today, Tsuna has been edgy about the same matter... and the sudden headache that he has earlier this morning, only made him even more nervous.
'Something is bound to happen today... specifically something bad' that petite brunet fidgeted on his seat as he stole a glance over his shoulder earning a curious look from a certain hitman-in-disguise.
"Oi Dame-Tsuna" Reborn called lowly, yet still Tsuna flinched.
"If you have time to turn your head around, why don't you just focus with your math test? You do remember that I'll still punish you if you got 5, right?"
-and that threat has successfully pushed a switch inside Tsuna's mind as tried to concentrate on the paper in his hands as he restained a shudder.

'R-Reborn is scary!' his mind shrieked. But overall, now that he has seen all of the questions, he got a headache for a completely different matter...

'Math is scary!!!'
And thus, the thought of Yamamoto's smile was forgotten...

But only for a while...
Because later after P.E. class Tsuna saw that smile again, and this time it twisted his chest just for being silently watching on the sideline.
Tsuna can feel the pain resonating from the taller boy although he was seen laughing around his friends...

But that smile was so familiar... just like his own...

But for those lots to not noticing this, are they even his friends?

'Anyhow, I must have a talk with him... before something goes wrong for real...'

Yet in the end, Tsuna hadn't got the chance to talked with him since his team was losing over a volley match, while Yamamoto's was on the winner side.
And now, his own teammates left him to do the punishment to clean the gym himself.Sighing to the sides, Tsuna started collecting the balls to put them back into the basket. However, it seems like the universe was going to give him a chance afterall...
"Yo, Sawada!" Yamamoto greeted out of nowhere causing the startled brunet to jump a little.
"Ah! Yamamoto-san... you surprised me." Tsuna admitted, sighing in relief before then averting his gaze back to the owner of those hazel pairs, asking...
"ano sa... what are you doing here?" he blinked nervously with an awkward smile which he then received a grin from the baseball player.
"Maa maa... I'm here to help you clean the gym!" Yamamoto said as he casually throws a ball straight to the brunet's direction, earning a cute yelp as the ball got caught out of reflex.
"Whoa... Nice catch, Sawada!" Yamamoto praised, in which Tsuna just simply pouted over it.
"Mou... a little warning could be nice, Yamamoto-san," Tsuna said as he put the said ball to the basket as the Raven haired boy chuckled.
"Wari... but your reaction was rather cu-"

"-I am NOT cute..." Tsuna cut, rather intensely, however, that look he's trying to make was definitely far from a deadly glare he meant to make. Though, Yamamoto decided not to push the petite boy even more. Afterall, he also has his own reason to help the shorter boy.

They were quiet for a moment before then, Yamamoto decided to pop out the question out of his buzzing mind.

"ne, Sawada?" He called, and Tsuna hummed in response, finally done with collecting the last volleyball.
