Gah... Finally finished editing of older chapters to fix stupid autocorrects...

'So warm...'

When Ie awoke, it was to a pleasant warmth surrounding him, he snuggled closer to the warmth. It was a welcome feeling after recent events, temporarily washing away all of his negative emotions. He stayed like that for a while until he felt fingers gently combing through his hair, brown shot open, a dark blush covering his face as he realized that he'd been snuggling up to Tsuna. He hadn't expected the other to actually force him into sleeping with him, it was way too soon.

Warm honey gazed down into wide brown "We should get ready for school soon" He breathed softly, reluctantly pulling away from Ie. It was nearing 7am, which meant that he'd already been awake for a few hours already, he'd just used that time to take advantage of their closeness instead of leaving like usual.

Ie nodded dumbly, stumbling a bit as he got off the bed. He then headed towards his own room to get a change of clothes. So much warmth was radiating from Tsuna, warmth that he still couldn't help but feel that he didn't deserve. It was overwhelming.

'Tsuna had felt guilty too right? How did he manage it?'

'Ie is so whipped... It's amusing'

Reborn smirked as he headed towards Tsuna's room "You're overwhelming him" The hitman stated when he saw Tsuna, not at all looking concerned.

Honey glimmered as a small smile creased the teen's lips "I'll give you more attention today Reborn" He replied softly, picking the other up and carrying him out the door

'His aura is a lot stronger, but also more calming than before'

"Don't treat me like some sort of pet" Reborn huffed, inwardly pleased that his sky was more at peace than ever before. He glanced up at Tsuna "It's rare for you to be in the house at this time of day" Normally his student was long gone by now.

"I wanted to take advantage of Ie while he wasn't conscious" He liked snuggling Ie. Ie made a choking sound from the washroom.

Reborn smirked, watching orange melt into honey "At least you're not going to completely coddle him" It was nice to see that his sky still had his snark even when happy. It was amusing whenever Tsuna became mischievous.

'Though it makes sense... He did do things to get back at Ie before'

"He's my lightning" Honey gleamed "I can't go too easy on him" Tsuna was silent for a few moments "I wonder how Vongola is taking in recent events" He didn't really care all that much "It'd be annoying if they try to use me instead of Xanxus" Honey narrowed, he wouldn't put it past his father to do something stupid like that.

"Vongola can't touch you" Reborn replied as they entered the kitchen. The arcobaleno would protect Tsuna, even if he decided not to be the other's sky.

'The sky arcobaleno is always protected since their time is so short...'

Tsuna nodded, looking pleased "So now my only problem is my approaching death" He felt Reborn tense in his arms, he gave the other a reassuring squeeze "I don't plan on dying, not anymore" He had so much to live for now. Honey glowed an orange hue "I don't want to lose what I have" Maybe he'd actually try to get closer to Takeshi and Hayato, before he'd just been mostly passive when it came to them. He wasn't planning to die anymore, so wanting to befriend them should be okay, right?

Nana blinked when she saw Tsuna enter the kitchen, a bright smile blooming on her face. She's get to feed Tsuna breakfast, she'd always cooked enough for him when Tsuna didn't cook, but it had been so long since he'd shown up for it "Good morning Tsu-kun" She breathed, happily putting a plate of pancakes, bacon, and eggs in front of him.

'I'm glad that Tsu-kun is eating breakfast with us...'

"Good morning Kaa-san" Tsuna replied softly as Ie walked into the kitchen.

Her eyes widened at the sound of Tsuna's voice, almost dropping Ie's plate from the shock "Tsu-kun..." Nana's eyes watered a bit, Ie was right there. Tsuna was going to get hurt and she wasn't strong enough to face Ie.

Honey softened as Tsuna reached out to put his hand on his mother's, a warm smile tugging at his lips "Ie-chan is back"

'Ie-chan?....'

*

"Gah!" An undignified yelp escaped from Ie's lips as he found himself trapped in a hug "Kaa-san?!" He hadn't really been listening to the conversation, why was she hugging him?

"Ie-kun!" Nana pulled her son closer, tears already falling down her face "You're okay" A small sob "I'm so glad that you're okay now..." Her Ie had disappeared with Tsuna years ago, and they'd both returned different.

Ie's eyes burned as he returned the hug, Tsuna wasn't the only person he'd hurt. He'd also hurt their mom "I'm so sorry Kaa-san..." He closed his eyes, burying his face into her chest. He remembered how in the beginning, she'd tried to protect Tsuna. It had worked, but had allowed his rage to build up further until he ended up doing something worse than before. Nana never failed to break down in tears afterwards, and once he'd gotten older, she'd been unable to hold him back. He'd been too strong.

'I forced Kaa-san to abandon Tsuna, so that I wouldn't hurt Tsuna as much...'

*

Reborn glanced away from Ie and his mother to observe Tsuna, his sky was happily eating his pancakes. Though now that he looked, Ie's plate looked like it had more on it than before "Why are you still giving up some of your food?"

'Ie doesn't need to be appeased anymore'

"Ie needs more food than me since the only blood he gets is the bits I sneak him" Tsuna replied softly under his breath "Neither of them know that he's a vampire like me. It's not noticeable since he doesn't get enough blood for it to affect his abilities"

The hitman silently nodded, digesting the information. Both Tsuna and Nana's life would have been even worse if Ie had known that he could get stronger.

Me: Nana wasn't able to protect Tsuna, it's a common thing when violent males get older
