Tsuna tried to confide the utter terror he had felt during the event to Gokudera and Takeshi but-

They were both assholes.

Assholes, he tells you.

They couldn't even understand how mindboggling all of this was.

Come on, man! Work with him here!

Weren't they even the least bit interested?

"It wasn't like I'm not interested, juudaime," Gokudera stated, unusually calm. "It's just that I decided to take a step-back policy on the demon." The silver-haired teen nodded to himself righteously. "He's useful in a fight, but knowing anything more than that-" He shrugged. "Eh. It's better not to touch that."

Takeshi laughed, slinging his arm on Tsuna's back. "It's just his sister, Tsuna. It's a little surprising that he has one, but many people had sisters." He brushed back his hair, grinning. "What's wrong? Do you want one too?"

Tsuna frowned. "You guys, don't understand. She called him-" He lowered his voice, looking at the school corridor warily. "Kyoya-chan! Kyoya-chan, I tell you."

The two looked at him bemusedly - making Tsuna feel as if he was the weird one here for making a big deal out of nothing.

Takeshi coughed. "They're siblings, Tsuna. Of course, he'll cut her some slack."

Gokudera scowled at Takeshi before smiling ingratiatingly at Tsuna. "As much as I hate to agree with this baseball idiot, juudaime, it's probably better not to think much about it. They probably had a great rapport unlike," He grimaced. "Bianchi and I so a little harmless nickname wasn't that shocking if you think about it."

Tsuna wasn't satisfied but let it go, excusing himself to go to the lavatory.

He wasn't overreacting, damn it.

Remembering the head pat, the noogie and, the pampered, spoilt tone all done to the fearsome Hibari Kyoya-

If that wasn't reason enough for him to run around like a headless chicken, then what was?

Why can't they understand?

Was he really the wrong one here?

"Do you like her then, Dame-Tsuna?" A cute voice suddenly asked out of nowhere from the mirror behind him.

Tsuna flinched, forcefully controlling himself from shrieking and looked down in relief at his little Tsuna.

Thank Kami.

He almost got stuck in his zipper.

Again.

...Damn it, Reborn.
