-Namimori High Festival third day- -Part 02- Night...
-KHR-8059-KHR-
"G-Gokudera...?"
"I-I like you too... Idiot..."
-KHR-8059-KHR-
The fireworks had exploded loudly above Namimori high where the spectators watched as the colors danced in the sky like a well rehearsed ballet. The students and other spectators of the magnificent display all froze from what they were doing before in order to watch and admire the show. They took out any of the devices they had with them in order to record the scene that befell in front of them. All who saw the Namimori festival fireworks display had all promised themselves that they would hold this event and burn it in their memories forever.
-KHR-8059-KHR-
Tsuna watched the fireworks along with his mother and other companions with the exception of Yamamoto and Gokudera. But he knew his best friends can handle themselves just fine. He took a moment to look down and watch as he saw the faces that he knew so well smile as her eyes shone from the light that were emitted from the fireworks.
The sun guardian's sister turned to look at the brunette and smiled at him. Making the brunette blush several shades of pink and red, but then the Kyoko had blushed in the same matter as she held out her hand towards the other.
"I like you Tsuna..." she said softly and only loud enough for the other to hear.
"I-I like you too... A lot... Kyoko..." he replied just as softly.
Tsuna smiled a bit while simultaneously blushing more as he slowly reached for the other hand in his own. They laced fingers and smiled at each other once more before turning back their gaze at the show.
While a knowing hitman trapped in a baby's form smiled as he knew about these little happenings around him. He knew each of the guardians of the tenth generation of Vongola. He knew them. And he knew them well. He just knew. He's a hitman after all.
-KHR-8059-KHR-
"It's beautiful... Well done Kyoya, you've truly made this festival worth remembering..."
The blonde Italian man said as he stood in front of a window that had a perfect view of the fireworks display in the lead prefect's office. Whilst the said lead prefect was seated comfortably in his black leather chair.
"Of course. If I satisfy the craving for brief happiness of the herbivores, it'll be easier to stand atop of them and control them..." he said as he stood from his chair and walked towards the window and beside the Italian man and gazed down at the thousands of people he anticipated to watch the display he has organized.
"Ahahaha... Is that so? Because from what I see... You did it as a gift for Namimori and your schoolmates before you leave..." the man said in a low voice.
Then the tenth boss of the Cavallone got it from behind his head by the skylark, but the blow was not as hard as the ones the prefect used to give him. The blonde was thankful for that at least. However, his eyes widen as he felt two lean arms circle themselves around his neck and a pair of lips landed on his own giving him a sweet kiss.
"Kyo— Kyouya?"
"Shut up bronco. You might disturb the celebration of the herbivores."
The teen said as he looked away slightly along with light shades of pink that married his face, before saying... "Shouldn't you be preparing me then? I will be leaving to stay at your place for the time being after all. I expect nothing less for my stay in a country I am yet to know..."
Dino stared for a good few minutes until his little skylark blushed a shade of red yet refusing to show embarrassment on his face and stared back at the Don. The Italian man then chuckled and brushed the strands of hair the covered the younger males' forehead before he kissed it tenderly and lovingly.
"Of course... I'll make your stay at my place the best, so that when you get use to it... You'll never want to leave..." the Cavallone boss smile.
"... You know you can't keep me in one place bronco... Why even try?"
"I never said about keeping you in one place or caging you Kyouya... I simply give you a place that you can call home and where you can always return to... Whenever you want..." he paused as he embraced the prefect tighter in his arms "... And I will always be there waiting for you... and tell you 'Welcome home Kyouya'..."
The prefect was currently very thankful that his face is buried deep on the chest of his older lover. At least the embarrassing face he was making will not be commented by the Italian Don.
"I love you Kyouya..." the Don said lovingly and purely for his skylark ears alone.
"I-I... L...Love you too... Idiot bronco..." the Japanese teen replied only in a voice so low that only insects will be the only ones that can possibly hear it. However, it was still enough for the blonde Italian man to hear. As the Italian man heard the soft spoken words, a small smile crept up his face as he embraces the prefect leader tighter that before and places a small kiss atop the teens' head.

The fireworks continued to shower the night sky with its bright lights of display. On top of the rooftop where two boys stared at each other as if the entire world were in a stand still. Both still too shock at the sudden burst of events. A sudden confession and a first kiss, although technically speaking it was a soft peck on the lips, but it still counts right?
The smaller Italian boy was the first to recover and managed to play back the few minutes he had spent with the other teen in his mind. He blushed as he realized three very important things that occurred. First: Yamamoto had just confessed to him, making his inner self gleefully dance in a rhythmic move that no one would probably understand. Two: He confessed to Yamamoto at the sudden joy of hearing the other speak the words he had longed for, yes he still had his pride. So he decided that he was caught up in the moment. But then again it was a bit difficult to explain... Three: HE KISSED YAMAMOTO!...
True, that it wasn't their first kiss. But somehow the few little milliseconds their lips touched one another was so much more different. It was more embarrassing for one. On the other hand it was more sweet and caring? loving?...
They weren't sure yet.
They're only teenagers.
It's not their fault.
Give them a break.
They'll figure out what they felt soon enough.
-KHR-8059-KHR-
Returning back to his mind he blushed even deeper when he lifted his head and saw the Japanese teen looking at him and then the raven-haired boy gave him a warm and sincere smile. Making the Italian blush a deeper red if that was possible. He immediately backed away from the rain guardian in a hurried manner, eyes cast down his bangs covering them, hiding them from the other and the evident blush that married his pale cheeks.
"..." there was silence.
-KHR-80-KHR-
"Hey Gokudera..."
"..." he ignored the other, trying to look away.
Unknowingly he earned a smile from the taller teen as he thought of how cute the silverette was being at the moment. The rain guardian placed both his hand on the storm guardian's face and cupped his cheeks, slowly making the other face him. Good thing the dynamite expert didn't struggle as much as he thought.
The baseball ace lifted both his hand and placed them both on the silverette's cheeks. Slowly making the storm guardian face him, luckily the storm guardian was a bit cooperative and the task proved to be quite an easy one.
"I really, really like you Gokudera..." he said as the other boy was finally facing him still wearing a blush. The Japanese boy smiled at the other as he said those words.
"Tch... Whatever..."
"Aww... Is that all you're going to say Dera?"
"S-Shut up! And don't call me Dera!" 'Ah he's back to normal I suppose... Oh well, he's cute this way too... I really like him a lot...' the baseball teen thought as he watched the other returning to his normal self, which actually means he's going to be in super denial mode with extra screaming on the side.
"But you said you like me..."
"I SAID NO SUCH THING!"
"You did too..."
"I DID NOT AND QUIT ACTING LIKE A KID, YOU... IDIOTIC, DEMONIC, MORONIC IDIOT!"
The rain guardian had a sudden pause as he recognized the insult that the other had just called him. But he decided that he would brush that to the side for the moment and focus on attempting to get the other to confess his feeling for the baseball ace once again.
"Fine... But— You did kiss me..."
"...I...I... I was... I got caught up in the moment of you confessing!"
The tall teen inwardly sighed as he thought it would take awhile before he can get the Italian boy too admit his feelings. He stopped and stared at the silverette, and took in every detail he could from the bomber from how his hair was messed up by the flow of the night breeze, to the tiniest detail of light that lightly illuminated the boy. His train of thoughts and his starring moment of the teen ended when he heard... A rather loud...
"STOP STARRING AT ME YOU FREAKING PERVERT OR I'LL SUE YOU FOR SEXUAL HARRASMENT AND THEN HAVE YOU GO THROUGH DEATH PENALTY WITH MY OWN HANDS WHERE I WILL BLOW YOU TO SMITTERINS!" from the other boy.
He only chuckled at the sudden angry outburst of the other teen. Gokudera, Hayato... Truly was an interesting person to be with. Of course, him chuckling made the Vongola tenth's right hand man scowl in annoyance. Yet, for some reason the scowl or any denying tone or sound the Italian boy had emitted, sounded hesitant and half-hearted.
"I meant it you know..."
"..."
"I really, really do like you Gokudera... A lot..."
"..."
"Let's go home together later ok?"
"Do what you want..." the bomber said blushing deeply yet making no act to refuse the request, making the baseball ace smile widely.

The fireworks had finally ended. The rest of the students finished cleaning up all of the things that can be cleaned up before leaving. If not, they were pretty sure they would be bitten to death by a certain skylark who was, at the moment, nowhere to be found by any of the other disciplinary members. Where he was... Nobody knows and it would be wise to not want to know. And that was left at that.
Sawada, Tsunayoshi had also left the premises of the school grounds along with his mother and other companions. Haru had left first since her way home was towards a different route from theirs. The little Chinese girl and the sad excuse of a lighting guardian were fast asleep. The brunette had bid farewell to the maiden he had given his heart to as she left with her older brother to return to their own home. The Vongola sky guardian didn't notice his two best friends until the sun guardian along with his little sister had disappeared from his sight.
"Ah I forgot about Yamamoto and Gokudera!"
"Dame-Tsuna... Do not worry about your storm and rain guardian..."
"Eh? But Re-Reborn..."
"You still have a lot to learn Dame-Tsuna... Leave them be..."
Was the last of what the little hitman said as he looked at the brunette with an intense gaze, the said brunette on the other hand, fearing for his life decided to just agree with his tutor and turned to continue his journey home. He should trust Reborn, he is his tutor after all.
-KHR-80-KHR-
10:36 p.m.
The school was already being emptied out and checked by the disciplinary committee for any rule breakers of not leaving the school premises within the given time. The night was now silence and two boys were currently walking alone in each other's company in the shadows of the night. The taller teen was happily walking right beside the Italian teen as he was debating whether to risk his safety by holding the others' hand.
He knows well that if he attempted such a thing, it would undoubtedly result to him being attacked by a horde of dynamite being thrown by the silverette with an embarrassing face mixed with a bit of anger. He knew this was a situation that was likely to happen. Especially since the boy was currently in DENIAL MODE. But his train of thoughts of the boy beside him as left his mind. As he thought whether the mysterious boy he now considers his friend online has bailed on their agreement. He had done his part of the deal. He wonders if he's mysterious friend has done as well.
VTRHM_059: SILENCE! YOU IDIOTIC, DEMONIC, MORONIC IDIOT!
He thought of his friend's favourite insult towards him.
"I DID NOT AND QUIT ACTING LIKE A KID, YOU... IDIOTIC, DEMONIC, MORONIC IDIOT!"
And he thought of how the bomber had managed to call him the very same thing. There were similarities between the two he decides. How both Gokudera and 59 seem to like insulting him or in kinder terms, calling him names that were insulting. The fact that, they both went to the same school that he does, but he established that during his first few chats with 59. Then there was also the fact that both of them were in the same class. But that was coincidental right? Plus, just by looking at Gokudera's personality and by judging 59's choice of word they were quite prideful. 59 just being a little less than Gokudera. So there was little chance that 59 would back out right?
Plus, both of them were definitely not cowards. But, then that would mean...
Gokudera...
And 59...
Are the same person...
But...
It...
Can't be...
Could it?...
-KHR-59-KHR-
10:55 p.m.
There was no way he'd ever admit it out loud. But deep down inside he can shout it as loud and as much as he wanted. Of course being extra happy because the person you like happens to like you back seems to come with a way in making a person lose a bit of brain cells and making them all giggly or giddly or whatever. He no longer cares what this feeling he was feeling was called. Al he knew right now was...
'I TOLD YAMAMOTO I LIKE HIM! AND HE LIKES ME BACK!'
Yup. That's how things are currently are in the mind of our brilliant, delinquent of a student Gokudera, Hayato. But he's only thinking it though so stay out of his mind. He blushes at every moment he remembers their sudden outburst of confessions towards each other. He didn't care at all. But he did care how ever about how he would behave in front of the taller teen. He'd rather keep being his normal self for the time being. That is if you call I-Will-Protect-The-Tenth-With-All-My-Might-And-Shove-A-Dynamite-In-The-Ass-Of-Anyone-How-Even-Thinks-Of-Destroying-Our-Family-Because-I-Will-Be-The-Best-Right-Hand-Man-In-All-Of-The-History-Of-Vongola-Along-With-The-Baseball-Idiot-So-Fuck-Of... type thinking is normal. Besides there's a chance their relation might not work. That he knows well, since he so far only showed the Japanese teen his irritated side and his kind side only to the tenth. He was completely lying to the raven-haired-boy about how he truly felt and acted upon his not-so better judgement.
He hasn't been as honest with Yamamoto than he has been with 80.
80...
Now that he thinks about it he has forgotten about 80. No one has confessed to him. So, does that mean 80 is now waiting for him in the park?
He decided to fulfil his agreement with 80 as much as he wanted to be with Yamamoto since the mysterious online friend was now waiting for him. He won't just leave 80 alone, he could at least tell 80 that he was Gokudera all along so that 80's efforts weren't wasted. Besides, 80 had understood him well. Even though Gokudera has no clue who 80 was. All he knew was 80 was in his class with him, Yamamoto and the tenth, and that 80 was serious when he said he like him.
He then turned to the taller boy who seemed stop walking and was currently frozen in the place he was standing with a blush that could bring any tomato or rose to shame. Why his baseball obsessed idiot was blushing like that? He had no clue...
-KHR-8059-KHR-
"Oi— Baseball idiot" Gokudera tried to get the other's attention only to be ignored. Annoyed with this he made his way toward the said teen and pinched the other's nose to gain his attention. This technique was proven to be effective.
"Ah... Gokudera...?"
"Ah so you decided to come back to earth from mars I presume..."
"Huh?"
"Forget it... Anyway, I'm leaving for now... I-I've got something to do..."
"... Ah sure... M-Me too..."
"You? What could you be doing? Ah, forget it, It's late... I'll see you tomorrow..."
With that the silverette left. And the taller teen stared for a while before making a dash towards the flower shop he knows that would only close at midnight. For that the rain guardian was thankful...
-KHR-59-KHR-
The Italian was currently sitting on the bench where it all had began, he lit a cigarette and allowed the little stick to hang in between his dry lips, he thought about the past few days the notes had started as he watched the smoke that was being emitted from his cigarette dissolve into thin air. The bench where he first started the notes, that turned into chats. But for some reason, despite the fact that the dynamite user new nothing of the other. He had already felt that he had a deep connection towards the other person on the other side of their little communication line.
He blew smoke again before he looked at the single white rose he had bought for 80 to recognize him. As sappy as it may sound, there was an actual reason why he had bought a white rose rather than a red one. He thought that 80, whoever he may be, is a pure and kind-hearted person if he was able to like him as he was.
He was excited and nervous at the same time. He was going to finally meet his secret friend, but at the same time he has to tell the other that he, Gokudera can't return his feelings. But the Italian truly and does still want to be friends with him.
He looked at his cigarette and took out a hand carry ashtray and got rid of the little cancer stick's light. He was about to continue his train of thoughts when a pair of hands had covered his eyes.
"80?"
"..."
"You must be really shocked and embarrassed to find out who 59 was huh?"
"..."
"Yeah it was me... I started this game... So, I'd understand if you don't want me to see you face. But please listen to what I say..."
"..."
"You know Yamamoto confesses to me today... And I was really happy... I want you to know that I truly want t thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I hadn't met you, even through an irregular situation, I feel like I owe you a lot... Because, whether it was writing or chatting with you, I was able to be honest. And be myself..."
Gokudera paused, looking for any sign or anything really from the other boy. But the teen had only remained silent. Sighing at the silence he continued on...
"I really enjoy talking with you. Ever since we started I was excited to tell you about my day and all that other crap. But you know, I'm really nervous right now. Because... In truth, I was beginning to like you... A lot... And I'm sorry if I couldn't return the feelings you feel towards me... Be-Because... The one I like is Yamamoto... I like him... I really like him so much... So, even if I can't be with you like that...I still would like to be friends with you..."
"... But what if I can provide a solution, where you can like me and Yamamoto at the same time huh?"
Then Gokudera had felt all time froze as his eyes widen at the sound of that voice.
He wanted to confirm it.
He slowly held the hands covering his eyes and removed them from shielding his sight as he slowly turned around and was greeted by a tall Japanese teen with jet black hair and honey-colored eyes that he knew very well whom they had belonged to. No other than...
"Ya-Yamamoto..."
-KHR-8059-KHR-
"Hey Gokudera..."
The other said smiling widely at the storm guardian who was currently still in a state of shock. He turned reaching from something behind him. As he reached the item he raised it in front of the still shocked Italian teen.
A bouquet of red roses.
"Yo-You're 80..." he said in a still shocked voice.
"..."
"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" the storm guardian shouted.
"Gokudera!" the rain guardian shouted holding the other on both his shoulders and keeping him in place while still holding the roses.
"You're lying! Then that would mean... Everything I told 80... I was telling you?" Gokudera said his bangs hiding his eyes and his face that was blushing at the moment.
"I'm sorry Gokudera... But you did start this game and I just wanted to play with whoever was on the side of the line. And besides for the record I... I also told you thing I never taught I could tell anyone else but 59..."
"You..."
"But you know what Gokudera... I'm kinda glad that 59 turned out to be you... Because then I can be honest with you... And I like thinking like that... Besides you said you were starting to like 80 right? If... 80 was anyone else other than me... I'd be really jealous... But I did say online... as 80... That I'm willing to sacrifice my own feelings for your happiness right?"
"..."
"Gokudera... Please... Say something..."
"You. Are. An. Idiot."
"EH?"
"Geez... Whether you're 80 or Yamamoto you're still the baseball I know and will always be... I told you back on the rooftop... That I liked you too right?" the storm guardian said turning his eyes away from the other boy who had a shock face for the moment. Then as the words that the Italian said has settled in his head, his shocked look was placed with a small smile. He looked at the flushed Gokudera and spotted the white rose that the other was holding. He took the single white rose from the other and placed it in the middle of the red rose bouquet. And he held it for Gokudera to take.
"What the— Why did you just put the white rose I bought in your bouquet? Did the shock make you lose more brain cells than you've already lost?"
"Ahahaha... You're so funny Gokudera. You're sarcastic..."
"Hey..."
"Hot-headed."
"Hey wait a min—"
"Ill-tempered."
"What the—"
"Brave. Loyal. Cute. Graceful. Beautiful... And the list goes on..."
"What are you getting at idiot?"
"I guess, what I'm trying to say with what I did with the roses... Is that ever since you first came to Namimori high... You were the first one... Who ever caught my attention... The red roses are all the people in the world and white rose that is levelled with the roses yet different in color is you... I've like you from the very beginning Gokudera... And I'm pretty sure I won't get tired of liking you anytime sooner..."
As Yamamoto finished his little speech for his love for the Italian teen, the said Italian of the subject was currently blushing in so many shades of red. That people would probably name one of the shades after him since it wasn't sure it such a red shade was even in existence. The taller boy had to stifle a chuckle at how cute his little tsundere was. Yet laughter is a hard thing to stop.
"I-IDIOT!"
"Ahahaha... Sorry Gokudera... But you're just too cute!"
"S-SHUT UP!"
The other shouted as he turned and began walking at the direction where his house would be located. Yet, he did not let go of the rose bouquet with a horde of red roses and single white rose. And he didn't protest when the taller teen followed him like a little lost puppy.
-KHR-8059-KHR-
12:01 m.n
In Gokudera's apartment...
"Does this mean we're dating Dera?" Yamamoto asked as he was currently sitting on the bed of the Italian teen.
Originally he just wanted to take the teen home. But everything was changed when the other had invited him in. Besides, it was late and he already called his father beforehand that there might be a chance he won't be returning home that evening. It not like he planned this. No he didn't.
...
Or did he?
"Y-You-re a bigger idiot if you didn't figure that out for yourself!" the other said who was currently sitting on his desk chair looking at the other and wondered how did the rain guardian ended up spending the night at his place. But he gave up on the thought as he knew it would only end in a question mark.
"Ahahaha... I like you... MUUUUCCCCHHHH DERA!" Yamamoto said acting out the this much by stretching his arms as far as he could.
"Shut it you'll wake the neighbours bastard! And my name is Hayato! Get it right bastard!" the other shouted as he turned to face the baseball idiot.
"..."
"What?"
"I like you a lot... Hayato..."
"Bastard..." he said turning away from the other teen before he softly whispered "I like you too... Takeshi"
