空を飛べたい (Sora wo tobetai)

Chapter 8

Tsuna was facing at the opened window. He was standing there and then leaned his hands on the rails. He knew that Honoka was just at his back, not saying a word.

"I'm sorry." he started.

"For not saying about what happened to last year. I bet you already heard what happened through my guardians." he added.

Hearing no response from her. "There was a mist user at that time. He was even able to fool my own mist guardian. Chrome and I were trying to protect everyone on Yamamoto's house as my guardians were not present. That mist user had hit her and everyone else and they are now comatose for a year." Tsuna had clenched his fist on the cold cement. "Otou-san keeping an eye on them for me as he knew that my guardians are not allowing me to visit them. He accepted my request right away." He calmed himself down before continuing. "Currently, Verde and the other Arcobalenos are working on dispelling the thing that hit them. Reborn though is currently on a hunt for those people who did that. That's what the situation is. I could only pretend on moving forward to avoid conflicts inside Vongola."

"You know, your guardians are such jerks for not believing you." She spoke harshly. She bonked his head with her fist that hard.

"Ow! What was that for?" he screamed as he noticed that he was now facing her. He also noticed that her eyes were a little bit red. I guess Yuni was right when she saw her.

"For not trusting me about this. Really, you are an idiot."

"You believe me?" he blinked owlishly at her.

"I have already said it before!" She raised her voice. "And I know you are not like that." she added.

"But--"

"I swear if Reborn was here right now, he would be scolding you for not believing on your Famiglia." she cut him off as she grabbed his collar with both of her hands. "And you were the one who welcomed me on this Famiglia. I know that this job as your secretary is a risky job, yet I have accepted it. I have met different people who accepted me who I am, though Byakuran is still questionable for me." Tsuna sweat dropped at the side comment of her ramble. "Still, everyone is good to me unlike the experiences I have in my life. Sure being your secretary is hard but I am enjoying it. I have not regret in becoming your secretary." Tsuna swore that her eyes had suddenly turned silvery steel in hue as she looked as his eyes.

What the hell? His eyes went wide.

"S-s-s-sorry..." she realized that she went hard on him. She released him.

"N-n-no it's okay." he tried to regain his composure. He sure was still surprised at the sudden change of her eyes. "I'm sorry as well for not believing in you. I even made you cry."

"N-no It was not it." she denied.

"But clearly your eyes says so."

"N-no I mean," she sighed. She fidgeted and flushed before she continued "I...I cried as I felt sudden felt helpless, frustrated and mad at myself. It's always like that." Tsuna was questioning about that actions.

"You were hurt about your guardians and even doubted you...Yet you still stand strong. I am not even that emotionally stable as I even panicked when you fainted. I admire your mentality. If I were on your position, I could not take it." she started tearing off again was about to come out on her eyes so she looked down. "I even resorted suicide at that time when you saw me on my difficult times. If you are not there I would have been..."

Tsuna patted her head. "You had been hurt for a long time as well. I don't want you to pressure yourself on me."

"Still, you need to speak to someone about how you are feeling. I am speaking through experience.I was lucky that you had saved me. If you keep on keeping it inside you, chances are you will break down anytime. You have Yuni, Enma and Byakuran to sort things out. You have me as well if you would treat me like them. You should let it out. If you want to cry then don't stop yourself." she ended her rant and clenched his suit jacket.
