"I'll be gracious and do the dishes" Ie huffed once everyone had finished eating, swiftly collecting the plates and scraping them off in the garbage before beginning to rinse them. He ignored the hitman's curious stare.

'I can't have the monster keel over before I'm done with him'

Ie tensed, gritting his teeth when he felt Tsuna give him a quick hug from behind before bolting away, inwardly snarling at the other's impudence.

'I give him an inch and he tries going a mile, he's lucky I don't want him broken yet'

Brown eyes narrowed as he almost dropped a glass into the slippery dishwater, he'd be patient and find the bastard that dared to curse what was his. Then he'd kill the bastard, let the monster regain health, and then beat the monster back into his place.

'Dame-Tsuna is too much of a monster to just die pathetically to a curse...'

He clenched his fist, a sharp pain caused him to blink in surprise. Ie looked blankly at his bloodied hand and the glass shards embedded within the flesh.

'Ah... Gotta pay more attention...'

"Baka-Ie doesn't normally help out with the dishes does he?" Reborn inquired from his place atop Tsuna's head, he really liked how fluffy and soft his hair was.

"Ieyoshi-Sama is worried about me" Reborn frowned at the response, hopping off of Tsuna's head to see his face. The brunette had an elated expression, honey eyes were shining with life as a stupidly happy smile plastered itself on his lips.

'I highly doubt that, Baka-Ie hates Tsuna'

"Tsuna, I know that you love your brother, but I seriously doubt that's why Baka-Ie decided to help out" Tsuna just smiled softly, honey tinged slightly orange.

"Ieyoshi-Sama cares, he just shows it differently than most people" Tsuna affirmed, Reborn felt his inner flame quail slightly.

'Tsuna... You're going to end up even more hurt with that kind of mindset...'

"Baka-Ie constantly tries to either murder you or make your life miserable! He doesn't care about you" Reborn growled softly.

"If Ieyoshi-Sama truly wanted me dead" Tsuna paused, breaking his gaze away from the hitman's "He would have ordered me to kill myself long ago... And I would have complied to his wishes" The brunette finished softly.

"Tsuna..." Reborn's inner flame trembled at the thought of his sky dying before they'd even had a chance to meet.

'I had known Tsuna was highly loyal to Baka-Ie... But I hadn't thought that it would be to that extent...'

"Don't worry, things have changed" Tsuna picked the hitman up and hugged him "I don't think I'd comply with that sort of order as easily as I would have before..." He paused "I'm actually thinking that it'd be nice to actually live... At least for a bit. I never really cared much because I've always had this feeling that it wouldn't matter in the end" Tsuna let his flame mingle with Reborn's. "But lately I've started to want to ignore that feeling..." Tsuna frowned slightly "Is that okay?"
