NEXT UPDATE on or before February 27 2020"T-Tsuna..." Ie stuttered, a faint blush tinting his cheeks as he looked away. Tsuna's hug was filled with warmth, something that he didn't feel like he deserved. Guilt pooled in his stomach as he attempted to loosen the other's hold on him, only to fail.
'I hurt Tsuna so much...'
"I'm not letting go" Tsuna murmured against Ie's shoulder, honey eyes still watery "You're staying here" It was way too soon for Ie to leave. He'd just gotten his brother back and he was planning to take full advantage of that fact.
Ie bit his lip, Tsuna would be sad if he tried to leave now wouldn't he? "It's getting late..." He glanced out the window, the sun had already set. He must have been out of it for most of the day.
Honey glowed a faint orange "Don't care" He nuzzled the other "Your punishment is to not leave me" He could sense the other's guilt and wasn't against using it against him.
Brown widened, Ie's face paling a bit at the other's words "B-But Reborn..." He knew that the little hitman wouldn't be pleased. Especially with how much Reborn seemed to care about Tsuna.
'Reborn will kill me!'
"Reborn should be mature enough to understand" Tsuna glanced towards the closed door "It would be silly for someone of his status to complain" Honey flashed orange before returning to their original colour.

Reborn bristled at Tsuna's words from behind the door, he wasn't going to be jealous. Not at all. His sky could do whatever he wanted! He'd just sleep in Ie's room then.
'I don't need to sleep by Tsuna'
He just preferred to sleep near his sky, there was a difference.
*
Brown darkened "But I don't deserve-" He was cut off by Tsuna coating him with sky flames. They felt so gentle and calming, almost lulling him to sleep right then. He shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind. It was hard, he really wanted to give in and snuggle with Tsuna. To pretend that everything was fine, even though it wasn't. Things were not okay. He just couldn't forget what he'd done.
"You hurt me" Tsuna's voice was soft as he pulled away a bit to meet Ie's gaze "You hurt me a lot" He didn't really care much about the physical pain that he'd suffered. Ie's hatred and words had stung more, the distance had been the worst "It's not up to you to decide what you deserve or not" Ie flinched a bit at the other's tone, it sounded pained "Spending time with me is the best way to repent" Honey watered "Because being close yet at the same time so far from you hurt more than any knife or words that'd been thrown at me" All he'd ever wanted was to get his brother back.
Ie sniffed "I can't help but remember what I've done when I'm near you" Most of his horrible deeds had revolved around Tsuna. The blood, injuries, Tsuna's apathy towards death, the silence, it had all been caused by him. Reborn had been the one to help reverse a lot of the damage that he'd caused. Not Ie, he'd been useless in that aspect.
'But maybe the guilt is my punishment... It hurts a lot, and I deserve the pain'
Tsuna nodded, honey soft "Do you think that you're the only one with guilt?" He breathed "I'm the reason that we got targeted in the first place" His gaze sharpened "I barely fought back against you because of that" Why would he have fought, when he was the one who'd caused it? Honey darkened "I'm worse than you, because I let you hurt me out of guilt, I used you" His voice lowered "And the result was the incredible amount of guilt that you're currently feeling" If he'd fought back harder, Ie wouldn't have caused so much damage.
"You couldn't have prevented it" Ie looked away, they'd been children at the time. They'd barely known anything about flames at the time. The only thing they'd really known was that Tsuna's eyes often changed into a dazzling shade of orange and that Ie could make pretty green sparks.
"And you couldn't have prevented the flame sickness" Tsuna countered.
Ie let out a breath, feeling exhausted for some reason.
'Why does Tsuna always beat me?...'
*
Tsuna gently steadied the other when Ie fainted, he lessened the potency of the harmony factor of his flames.
"That's cheating Tsuna" Reborn scoffed as he entered the room, he'd noticed that his sky had been targeting Ie with his flames so he'd stayed at a distance.
'At least he was able to concentrate them towards Ie instead of swamping the house, or even block with his flames'
Orange melted into honey "Ie-chan was too distressed, he wouldn't have been able to fall asleep otherwise" Tsuna breathed softly, fingers running through Ie's hair after settling his brother's head in his lap.
Reborn felt a twinge of jealousy from the warmth in his sky's gaze since it wasn't directed towards him "So you're really going to force him to sleep with you?"
A small giggle escaped from the brunette's lips "Don't worry Reborn" His lips curved up into a small smile "My love for Ie-chan is a bit different than my affection for you" Ie was like an odd part of him while Reborn was... Something else. Honey gleamed "We used to sleep in the same bed all the time. This room actually used to be a storage room" But the flame sickness had forced them to sleep apart. Ie of course, had to have the bigger room.
'So that's why Tsuna's room is quite a bit smaller than Ie's...'
"You're so sappy" The hitman huffed, disappointed that 'love' had been used for Ie while 'affection' had been used for himself. He didn't like being the second favourite.
"You're still my favourite Reborn" Tsuna sighed "Don't sulk, let me enjoy getting my brother back" His sun was surprisingly childish when it came to jealousy.
'I'm not sulking, I'm just annoyed'
Reborn smirked "Maybe you should sleep too" He pet Leon "You're saying odd things"
Honey flickered orange "Whatever you say Reborn"
Me: Tsuna is currently riding on the high of elation due to Ie being himself again XD
And Reborn... He's in denial
Hope you enjoyed zee chappy~
