Hayato scowled when he spotted Ie exit the house behind Tsuna "Stay away from Tsuna-sama you damn copy" He growled, Ie wasn't worthy of his sky's presence, and he never would be.

Ie shrunk back a bit, hiding behind Tsuna. He knew that the bomber wouldn't dare harm his brother "Tsuna won't let me" And to be honest he didn't want to despite knowing that Hayato was in the right for wanting him to stay away from Tsuna.

'The idiot always hurts Tsuna-sama. It'd bad enough that they actually live together'

The bomber blinked, surprised by both the response and Ie's actions. He looked at his sky, who seemed to be in a brighter mood than usual "Tsuna-sama, he's lying isn't he?" He knew that his sky adored the stupid idiot for some odd reason, but Tsuna usually avoided Ie if he could help it.

A faint blush tinted Tsuna's cheeks as he gave a small nod "Ie wasn't himself because of flame sickness" Honey softened in a way that made a dark flush coat Hayato's face before he paled when the other's word's registered.

"Flame sickness?!" He'd heard horror stories about what it could do to a person "Are you sure?" Hayato knew that he shouldn't be doubting his sky, but he couldn't help but ask. Flame sickness was serious business.

'It's one of the most feared illnesses...'

"I'm sorry" Ie stepped out from behind his brother to bow for forgiveness "I know that I'm not worthy of Tsuna's affection" Honey narrowed a bit at his words "But I need to stay with him in order for me to repent for my actions" His head drooped a bit more as he clenched his eyes shut.

Green widened in shock at the humility that Ie was displaying, it was something that he'd never thought that he'd ever see. His gaze narrowed once he collected himself, he crossed his arms across his chest "At least you're aware of how unworthy you are..." He breathed out. He glanced at Tsuna then back at Ie "If Tsuna-sama says so then I'll try to tolerate you" His gaze darkened "But I'm warning you, I'll kill you if you mess up" He'd need to be vigilant in guarding his sky.

'I refuse to allow Tsuna-sama to be harmed under my watch'

"No you won't" Tsuna cut in, eyes glowing.

Hayato looked away, a small pout on his lips "Then I'll beat you up" He'd seen Tsuna hurt Ie before so that should be fine. Tsuna nodded in acceptance.

"I don't understand what you guys are talking about" Takeshi laughed, a wide grin on his face "But that means that Ie isn't all crazy anymore right?" He'd been silent up until now since he'd been trying too hard to follow the conversation.

'Stupid baseball freak...'

Tsuna smiled, honey gleaming "Yeah, he's back to normal"

Takeshi suddenly grabbed Tsuna, hugging the smaller male against him as he ruffled his hair "Good for you!" A silly smile covered his face "I remember how close you two were" He was truly glad for his friend.

Hayato gaped "Why didn't you tell me that they used to be close?!" He'd had no idea! He suddenly scowled when he realized that the other was still holding his sky "Let Tsuna-sama go!" He growled, wanting to pounce at the other but at the same time not wanting to harm Tsuna.

'How dare he touch Tsuna-sama like that! And keep secrets!'

The baseball fan released the blushing teen, laughing a bit at how cute Tsuna looked with a blush "Sorry" He rubbed the back of his own neck, his face not at all looking sorry "But it was so long ago and I figured that Tsuna would have told you if he wanted you to know"

Reborn raised a brow at Takeshi's answer, it was actually a very insightful response coming from him.

Tsuna patted Hayato on the shoulder, the storm was now looking pretty down "Sorry Hayato, I thought that it didn't matter" He'd thought that he'd never speak to the real Ie ever again, so talking about what he didn't have anymore wasn't something that he'd wanted to do. He glanced away, feeling guilty "And I hadn't wanted to get close to you" Because he was dying, and making bonds hadn't seemed fair.

'He hates me...'

"Why do you look so sad Hayato?" Takeshi slung his arm across the bomber's shoulder "Tsuna just stated that he hadn't, which means that things have changed" He flashed Tsuna a grin "Am I right?"

Tsuna nodded, blushing darkly "I'd like to be friends" He wasn't going to accept his death, not anymore. So it was okay to attempt friendships, right?

Hayato perked up, green glowing "Tsuna-sama!"

'He doesn't hate me!'

Ie gave a small laugh, feeling happy for his brother.

"Please call me Tsuna..." Tsuna glanced away, fidgeting a bit "That's how friends call each other" He'd been mostly passive with them so he wasn't sure how to act.

"Tsuna is the sky arcobaleno, and Ie for other reasons can't become the Vongola Decimo" Reborn stated "So there's no need to refer to Tsuna as such" His eyes glinted "For now"

Both brunette's grimaced, both having a bad feeling.

'Good response...'

"I don't want to lead" Tsuna protested, he'd already gave Xanxus his support. There was no way that he was going to withdraw it, the repercussions would be too troublesome to deal with.

The hitman smirked, sending a chill down everyone's spine "You may not be able to become Decimo, but I'm sure that you could easily take your father's place as the leader of the CEDEF" He wasn't going to let his tutoring go to waste.

"You're amazing Tsuna-sama!" Tsuna let out a tired sigh "Both the sky arcobaleno and the CEDEF leader!" Hayato gushed, eyes sparkling in admiration.

'It seems that Gokudera is unaware of what being the sky arcobaleno entails, he must think it's like being any of the other elements'

"Sounds cool!" Takeshi gave Tsuna a thumbs up.

"Please no..." Tsuna whined, he didn't want to be the boss of anything.

Ie gave Tsuna an empathetic pat on the back "I'll support you" He'd have to train under Reborn too now. Thankfully Reborn would probably be kinder to Tsuna than he was with him.

Me: Now actual friendship will start to occur instead of Tsuna kinda brushing them off XD
