Tsuna blinked, barely pausing before continuing to climb the completely random cliff in the forest. He didn't remember there being such a cliff, so Reborn must have done something to change that, he just knew that Kyoya won't be pleased when he finds out "I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon Fon" He breathed, offering the storm arcobaleno a small smile. Said storm had been waiting at the top for some reason, Tsuna took a seat next to him.

"I figured that visiting you wouldn't hurt since I was planning to come back to Asia for a bit anyways" Fon replied, letting himself lean against his sky. With the knowledge about how Tsuna's health probably wasn't going to improve, he didn't want to waste any of his chances to see him "Though I'm quite grateful that you actually seem to be faring better than expected" His sky wasn't declining as quickly as he'd feared that he would.

'He seems to be quite calm, less strained too. I'm glad that his days seem to have gotten better'

"Yeah, I've stopped intentionally feeding the sky pacifier" Only the tiny bits that escaped him were being absorbed by the cursed item "And instead, I've started to routinely use up my flames manually"

Fon's brows pinched with slight concern "That must be painful, but it makes sense if you're no longer having your flames stolen from you" Since Tsuna had been able to access some parts of his flames, or at least enough to change his eye colour before, he must have been producing ridiculous amounts of flames. It'd probably take a while for his body to adjust to the fact that it didn't need to overproduce flames anymore "But you're feeling better overall?"

'I'm thankful that I didn't contact Verde about Tsuna's predicament... He would have been fascinated with how much flames Tsuna has'

Tsuna gave a small hum as he contemplated his answer "I think so, I've been vomiting and coughing up blood more often, but I actually feel good when I'm not" His vampiric nature easily fixed the blood loss problems so they weren't really all that concerning.

The storm was silent for a few moments "I guess something like that wouldn't seem so concerning to you" He sighed "You do know that it would be bad if you were human right?"

'I don't want to risk allowing him to forget that his position is actually worse than it seems, that if he were normal, he'd be dead by now'

Something horrible curled in his gut at the thought of Tsuna dying, or that he could have easily died before they even met.

Honey softened at the other's concern "I know, but I'm doing what I can" He leaned back against a tree "I have Shamal working on something to help just in case and I have you searching for Checkerface" He let loose a bit of his calming sky aura "I think things could turn out fine" He paused "But please don't tell Reborn that I have Shamal working on something for me" The poor doctor didn't need the added stress of having the hitman stalking him.

"Don't have so much faith in me" He's already failed one student, it could happen again.

'I-pin...'

"It's too late for that Fon" Honey glowed as the teen pulled the smaller male into a hug, easily guessing where the other's thoughts were headed "I was already dying before I even met you, so if I do actually end up dying, it wouldn't be your fault" He didn't want to die anymore, but he couldn't give empty promises "You've already made my life more enjoyable to live" He'd gained a good teacher, and friend "So your presence didn't hurt me" He was different than Fon's first student.

"Hey Reborn, can I ask you something?" Ie inquired, wringing his hands together nervously. He knew that the hitman didn't hate him anymore, but he also knew that he wasn't one of Reborn's favourite people. The chances of getting injured after this were considerably high.

'It feels weird to actually start a conversation with him when Tsuna isn't around...'

Reborn blinked, a little surprised "You already did, but fine" They could talk while the other rested.

"Why are you so insistent on making Tsuna the new leader of the CEDEF?" Ie shrank back a little "You care for Tsuna right? So why do you want to force him to do something that he clearly doesn't want to do?" Why wasn't the hitman respecting Tsuna's wishes? He'd thought that the elements were supposed to support the sky "It's not like you're being paid or asked to train him" He stuttered.

'It's not like how he'd been forced to train me...'

The hitman clicked his tongue "Tsuna is an important figure, even without being fully submerged in the mafia" His connections were surprisingly deep "It would make more sense for him to be properly connected" He lowered his fedora to hide his face "The CEDEF is closely connected to Vongola, so he should be adequately protected just from association" He'd be even safer if he did manage to win over Xanxus with his odd charm.

"Oh... That makes sense" Ie frowned "Shouldn't Tsuna have already figured that out then?" His brother was a lot smarter than him.

'It seems so obvious now that I think about it...'

"I don't doubt that he's already figured it out" Reborn replied "But I have a feeling that Dame-Tsuna prefers peace over safety"

Ie winced, thinking about Tsuna's demeanour "That's probably the case..." Tsuna could be so lazy at times "... He's probably going to end up shoving paperwork onto me isn't he?"

'There's no way that the other's were capable or willing enough to do it right? Hibari shoves his paperwork onto Tsuna, and I can't see the others doing it...'

Reborn smirked at the other's upset expression "Maybe on Gokudera too if he's trained to do it" The loyal storm would put his very best into helping the sky, so having Ie work on it as well would probably prevent the storm from burning himself out as often "Though maybe not since Gokudera is loyal enough to potentially make Tsuna feel like he's using him"
