Tsuna loved Reborn. He really did. They had been together since Reborn finally got his body back. And even before that, they knew they loved each other and waited until Reborn's body was back to normal. Together for two years and a half and Tsuna was completely used to Reborn's quirks. I mean, he had the patience of a saint.
However, even Tsuna had his limits.
So when he reached his limit - and it was an extremely rare occurrence - the aftermath was never pretty. And it was due to the most unexpected person.
__________
"Stop it, Reborn! You are being unreasonable. You can't just tell me to not to go."
"I can and I will, Tsuna. You will not go to Byakuran's party even if I have to lock you up."
Tsuna sighed. They had been arguing for almost three hours and it didn't seem like it was stopping.
"Reborn, you know that we are allies. It would be unfit if I did not even appear when I was invited and already said I will. You were the one who taught me that."
"Just shut up and do as I say, Dame-Tsuna."
As soon as Reborn said those words he froze. The rest of the spectators gasped in shock. He just called his lover the worst word someone could ever call him.
And it was too late to take it back.
The air got thick, everyone held their breath. Tsuna was stiff and his head was down. When he looked up everyone got frightened and heartbroken at the same time. He was emotionless almost like a doll. Everyone knew he only got like that when he wanted to hide his emotions to not cause trouble and worry his family. And due to his personality, he was damn good at hiding them if he wanted to.
Even better than Reborn.
And that is when everyone's heart broke. Because every member of the family knew that Tsuna's thoughts were destructive and borderline depressive.
Useless... He carried the lives of his family on his shoulders.
I'm not strong enough... He blamed himself when someone got hurt, saying that he should have been able to protect them.
I'm sorry... It was his fault and no one else's that he was not strong enough.
I'm so sorry I'm not strong enough... He wasn't worthy of being their boss if he couldn't even accomplish that. I'm sorry everyone...
"Tsu-Tsuna, I-" stuttered Reborn. He clearly crossed the line and was worried about what Tsuna might do... or worse, think.
"I'm fine, Reborn."
Everyone flinched when he talked. There was no emotion in his eyes. They looked dead to the world. The worst was the smile. If you didn't know Tsuna it would look like it was a full smile, from one side to the other. But to everyone in the room - who knew him well - it looked too bright. The edges were strained as if someone forcibly stretched his cheeks and froze them in that position and he was not able to close them.
It made them shiver and fear for their friend. It was haunting. The expression he wore, the way that he spoke and the walls that he put on.
However, there was a little bit of resignation in his expression. As if being called that was to be expected.
And that, THAT is what made them feel worse.
To disperse the mood, Tsuna took a deep breath and started giving orders.
"Kyoya, I know you don't like crowding but bear with it 'cause you're coming with me. We'll leave in one hour. Hayato, Takeshi, I'll leave everyone in your care. Varia, if you're staying don't make a ruckus. Otherwise, you'll be the ones paying for the damages and doing the paperwork. Chrome, Mukuro have fun with those three. Invite them to come around more times. Lambo, be a good little brother and behave, okay?" He looked at everyone when telling them what to do.
Everyone was so dumbfounded that they could only nod when given orders. He almost looked normal but at the same time not.
Then, Tsuna looked at Reborn who flinched and diverted his eyes. Seeing this reaction, Tsuna frowned and walked in his direction.
Everyone waited to see what Tsuna would do. However, what he did surprised everyone.
Gently hooking his hand underneath his lover's chin and forcing him to face him, Tsuna took his fedora and placed a kiss in his forehead.
"I'll be back before you know it. Will you wait for me?" Inquired Tsuna as he wrapped his arms around Reborn.
Feeling the arms wrapping around him brought Reborn back to his senses fast enough to hear the question. He immediately wrapped his arms around the brunet with desperation and almost sobbed.
"Ye-Yes. I'm so sorry, Tsuna."
"It's okay. We'll talk later. Now, you should take a nap. You just arrived from a mission." And soon, Reborn was being pushed to their bedroom. Shortly after that, Tsuna came back.
"Fon, Coronello, would you take care of that idiot for me when he wakes up, please?"
Turning to them was a helplessly in love Tsuna who was a bit sad but accepting and moving on from the arguing he had just now. Their Tsuna.
"Roger that, Tsuna"
"You can leave it to us."
