Leave the World Behind Chapter 7

"Love like you've never been hurt."

Chapter 7: Fragile Trust is easily Broken

The small sleeping brunette coughed and reached up with his right hand, the left one was tied down. He had barely managed to break the restraints. Not having enough to energy to do it even if he was awake. "Giotto- Nii help me...before he gets me..." The words that escaped the boy's mouth sounded pained and broken, like he was struggling to speak. His hand started to fall back onto the bed as the boy groaned trying to pull his body out of the sleep like state he was in. The bright light stung at his eyes as he opened them. "Too bright." Tsunayoshi stepped out of the bed that dizzy feeling taking over his body.

Hearing a sound to his right he tried to look only to feel arms pushing him back down. The wound on his body stung the more he moved. Why was it making things so difficult he truly hated it this time. "You shouldn't move Tsunayoshi." That familiar blond was sitting next to him, looking guilty. The young boy couldn't help but just want to erase that guilt and make him feel better, but what was he feeling guilty about. The past few days or was it hours had been a blur to him. "Giotto..what happened...?" Just wincing as the male started to change his bandages. He couldn't remember much of anything and he couldn't understand if it was a bad thing or a good thing now.

"Just rest we will discuss this later." The boy wanted to pout and fight against him but he knew that would get him nothing. Tsuna turned to look at the window his eyes were confused. Like he really had no idea what had happened here, was he just making a mistake by waking up now. "..Suna...Hey Tsunayoshi." Giotto was trying to get his attention holding up a new shirt for him to wear. He didn't know why he was trying to make him dressed right now. Wincing the brunette carefully put the shirt on over his injured side with a little help from Giotto of course. Not that he would admit it he sometimes hated to ask for help from anyone around him.

"Where are we going?" He slipped to the side of the bed forcing his body up trying not to wobble and fall over. He felt so sick all of a sudden and it made him worried. Giotto however just shook his head and went to help Tsuna walk down the stairs, it made him fear he had something planned. Something he was really not going to like anyway. "please Giotto just tell me!" The boy pulled away from him and slipped back almost falling down the stairs. When he opened his eyes again he was curled up on Giotto who was just holding him tight. Really he was just no good Tsuna a child who couldn't do anything. Should he really be angry about that probably.

"Tsunayoshi I have to leave for a little bit...I just didn't know how to tell you." The little boy blinked and just looked at him, after what happened yesterday he didn't want him to go. He just smiled and climbed off of Giotto. "When are you leaving Giotto?" As always he was acting like nothing was wrong even if he didn't want him to leave. There was just something off about all the times he left what was he doing when he did. What kind of work was it he never bothered to talk about it. And Tsunayoshi couldn't get it out of him as much as he tried to end up doing so. "In a few hours...I wanted to tell you but you were still sleeping last night." More like he was knocked out because of being stabbed or hurt like that.

"Did you pack already I'll make you lunch to take with you." Tsuna tried to walk away from him his hair hanging over his eyes. He didn't want to let Giotto see that he was afraid of him leaving, or losing him. He felt that hand grab onto his arm and try to pull him back or just stop him. "Tsunayoshi look at me. You don't want me going do you?" The boy wouldn't look at him and when Giotto finally managed to make him do so he could see the tears that were not falling. The little boy who hated to be alone was trying to be strong and hold back his tears. "I don't want you getting hurt you never tell me what you are doing. But you always come back bruised or cut up. What if you die?" The boy still refused to let the tears fall just hitting on Giotto's chest.

"Tsunayoshi..." Giotto had tried to speak more but he felt lips pressed against his. He just held Tsunayoshi closer and kissed back deeply. Yet he felt as if this was supposed to be oh so wrong, why couldn't he pull away this time either. The little brunette just pulled away and helped Giotto up before walking straight to the kitchen. He didn't wish to drag Giotto down again just because of how stupid he was. Just walking into the kitchen he started to make something to eat, all he heard was the footsteps going up the stairs.

It was probably Giotto going to finish packing unless he was truly already done. Tsuna didn't want to let his guardian, and maybe the guy he was crushing on go. "I just don't want him getting hurt...and yet I can't tell him how I feel either." The boy sighed and started digging through the fridge looking for something to make for Giotto to take with him. Just grabbing a few containers he started to walk towards the table, only to have Giotto stop him and take the containers. "What are you doing Giotto I thought you had to pack still?"He blinked when the man just looked at him and didn't give much a response.

"My sweet little Tsuna...I'm so sorry." Tsuna squeaked a bit when he felt those strong arms hold him tight, had Giotto figured out what he was so worried about. The boy just shook his head and tried to hold Giotto tight as well, he did not wish to lose the one he loved. But Tsuna also knew he had to trust him and let him make his mistakes and his own choices. 'Just don't do anything stupid...' He wanted to say but the words they just refused to come out. Like maybe they knew it was a bad idea one way or another and just refused to let him make that mistake. "Please just promise me you will be safe...and you'll come home soon." The boy snuggled up to Giotto's chest trying to control his tears, Tsuna would not break down this time.

He could feel Giotto's grip on him tighten like maybe he was worried about something. Or just wanted to make Tsuna feel better the boy couldn't tell which not this time. It seemed like forever just standing there holding onto Giotto, hearing a knock at the door Tsuna pulled back. "I'll finish your food you go pack okay." Trying to change the subject he raced off towards the door just to open it and see Yamamoto leaning on Gokudera. "Oh uh hi! please come in!" The boy shook off the emotions on his face and wiped the tears from his eyes as he turned around. No need to drag his friends into this now right.

"Hey Tsuna brought you the homework. Maybe we can work on it together?" Yamamoto Takeshi always the one who laughed, and tried to make the best of everything just walked into the house like it was nothing. "Hey Baseball freak! Don't just walk into Juudaime's house like that!" Tsuna just waved his hands a bit trying to get them to stop, he didn't want to alarm them. But he wasn't sure how to say anything either without letting his appearance crack. "Let's just eat okay!" The boy smiled at them both and walked to Giotto's finishing lunch, he slipped a note in the box and closed it.

Tsuna could only hope Giotto would actually take the time to read it, or would he have to wait till he got home. Not being good with words really sucked sometimes. "You two can go up in my room I'll be up in a minute." He just walked towards Giotto's room holding the lunch he could see the bags on the bed. They were all packed which meant he was leaving soon, and that would leave Tsunayoshi all alone. "Giotto-nii?" The water was running in the bath that must have been him showering, Tsuna just leaned against the wall and sighed. He couldn't let anything get him down or show it even if it did.

When he got no response he just put the lunch on the desk next to the bed. He had made a lot since Giotto was a bit picky about his food sometimes. Though Tsunayoshi quickly covered up the band aids on his hands, he had used the little penguin ones. As if he didn't already feel like a child he didn't need Giotto freaking out over the cuts. They weren't really that bad just a few small ones here and there from cutting the wrong thing with a very sharp knife. Walking out of the room again with the snacks for his friends.

"Sorry that took a little bit. We can start studying now." Tsuna noticed how it all of a sudden went to awkward silence when he walked into the room. It made the brunette wonder what they were talking about did it have anything to do with him. "Sure Tsuna!" Yamamoto spoke up before Gokudera did for once that should have worried Tsunayoshi but he shoved it away. He wouldn't get into matters that had nothing to do with him, when his friends wanted to tell him they could. 'I wonder what it was...' Just putting the snacks down he slipped down next to Gokudera leaning against his bed.

The boy felt really tired he wasn't even listening as the others discussed the homework. Like he was a world away just watching them laugh and act like nothing was going on. "..Suna...Hey Tsuna." He felt the hands shaking him out of his day dreaming state he didn't know why they were doing that. He just blinked and leaned forward looking at the table. "What are we doing? Oh the English sorry was spacing out a bit." He yawned and rubbed his forehead why did his body hurt all of a sudden. He truly didn't like this but who could blame him. "Juudaime maybe you should rest?" There it was Gokudera caring for him rather then about his own person.

Tsuna just shook his head he had to stay awake for awhile knowing Giotto was leaving soon. The boy didn't like it at all and he wished he could make him stay somehow. 'Can't you see I love you...why won't you just listen to me.' He heard the steps outside the door and just took on his happy less half asleep appearance trying to help them with the project. Looking up to the opening door he saw Giotto standing there watching them. "Hey Tsunayoshi...I left the address to the place you are staying on the table." That made the brunette confused why couldn't he just stay at home while he was gone.

He had done it before but then again Giotto had never been gone so long before, and Tsuna hadn't been dealing with school issues before. When they said school issues they meant Enma and his little group of course. "Um okay...so I can't stay at home?" The boy didn't want to go somewhere else it was probably someone he didn't know. That was the last thing he needed but just looking at Giotto he saw he couldn't fight with him about this. "I want you to be safe while i'm gone Tsunayoshi please just promise me you'll stay there and out of trouble." The boy gave a small nod looking back at the paper he knew he had no choice so he might as well put up with it.

"Well I'm leaving Tsuna. Be careful okay." He walked in hugging the boy and kissing his forehead before just walking out. He hated to leave the boy alone like that but what choice did he have. Just waving to Tsuna before he climbed into the car with his bags and the lunch. He wanted to eat it already but he knew Tsuna would want him to at least wait for a little bit. So the blond just closed his eyes and rested against the seat. After being up all night worried about Tsuna he was tired. Being in the presence of his own guardians he could rest without any worry he was sure of that.

But he still couldn't shake that bad feeling, was it about Tsuna or something that was going to happen on the mission. Vongola Hyper Intuition was a curse and a gift at times. All the older male could hope was Tsuna would listen to him and go to Hibari Kyoya's. At least there he would be taken care of while Giotto wasn't around even if that meant he had to deal with Hibari's biting to death thing. Maybe even a few rumors from other people about Giotto and Hibari, the boy had grown up around those mostly. So he could probably handle it Giotto drifted off to sleep his dreams full of laughing and happy Tsunayoshi. He truly couldn't wait to end up getting home after all of this.

"Tsuna you okay?" Yamamoto waved his hand in front of the boy's face he seemed to really be lost in his thoughts. He blinked and seemed to still be looking off into space. Really he must have been so lost in those little thoughts he was having. It couldn't go being a good thing at all. "Uh yea Yamamoto I'm fine. Just thinking a little so the project we only have a little bit left right." They were trying to decide what to do for the project, Tsunayoshi could barely focus on it but he was definitely going to try his best to do so. "Yea we just need to decide how to report it. Tsuna has to talk to the teacher said." It was like a play of course and the boy hated those, he didn't even want to do them at school.

The only reason he was going to be in the one next week was because it was for a school festival. And Giotto said he would look cute in the dress they picked out for him. Which he had completely tried to refuse he remembered the fight he had with his guardian. Well okay it wasn't exactly a fight he just said no and Giotto kept trying to talk him into it. Eventually Tsuna just gave up and said he would do it even if he was nervous as heck and didn't want to do it at all.

"well um ...I can play this part." He pointed to one of them figuring it was good and out of the way for him. Just the fact that he wanted to sleep meant something. But for the next few hours they discussed the project and who would do what. Tsunayoshi couldn't remember the last hour of it. All he knew was he woke up in his bed and no one was here. It was dark outside and he still hadn't gone to Hibari's house. If Giotto found out he would be upset. "Oh No I have to get to Hibari's house before..." He heard someone behind him and turned silently not sure he was going to like who he saw there.

"Herbivore you were supposed to be at my house hours ago. Get your stuff and move it before I bite you to death." The skylark was annoyed he didn't want to watch someone, specially not weak little Tsuna but he was doing as Giotto had asked. Only this once because he wanted to fight with Enma again. That and Giotto had said if he did as he was told he'd get to fight with him as well. The Blond was so much stronger then Tsuna so it had to be a amusing fight after all. "..Y..yes Hibari san." the boy scurried to get his stuff avoiding a hit from the tonfa. He didn't need to get Hibari Kyoya mad at him.

This person was taking care of him after all, just yawning a bit as he grabbed the bag Giotto had packed for him earlier. Making sure to turn off everything in the house and grab his keys he walked back to Hibari. "I'm ready...let's go." The boy refused to look up he just wanted to get out of here. Even if he didn't like the thought of leaving his home what choice did he have. Giotto already told him he had to and he was not going to go against him. Not even if he wanted to which deep down he truly did.

"Then let's go." He just grabbed onto Tsuna and jumped out of the window with him. Not caring much about the fact that the boy squeaked and seemed to be clinging to him. "Get in the car." He ordered letting go of the herbivore he was impatient all he wanted to do was go back home. Being woken up because he had to go find Tsuna was not what he wanted to do. The boy squeaked again but didn't say anything as he climbed into the car. Sitting away from Hibari he just looked out of the window not speaking a word the whole time.

He didn't seem to be paying attention either, because Hibari Kyoya had to shake the boy lightly to get his attention. "Get out Herbivore we are here. You will get in bed now." He was being forceful out of being tired and everything else, this was just who Hibari was. "Y..yes Hibari san where's my room?" The boy wouldn't look up he was afraid of upsetting Hibari, and well if anyone knew that it was a bad idea Tsuna did. Hibari didn't respond he just pointed to a door to the right, and wandered off into his room.

"..Thank you..." Tsunayoshi spoke to no one seeing as in Hibari was already gone. He just walked straight into his room and fell onto the bed curling up trying to sleep. ;Giotto you are being careful aren't you...I can't stay awake anymore.' The brunette's eyes started to close as he held the jacket that belonged to Giotto, it smelled just like him. Making Tsunayoshi feel at peace as he drifted off to sleep.

Pov Switch: Giotto and his Guardians

Location: Somewhere in Italy

The Rain hit the ground, thunder roared covering up the sounds of gunshots and screams. A cloaked blond raced through the rain his flames lighting up his arm. To think they had found him here was this the feeling he had before. "Get Primo out of here." A certain voice cut through the rain followed by a pained cry, he hated letting his guardians shield him like that. Especially against something like that kid, why were they even here. Was it because of Tsuna and they knew if they ended him it would be fine.

A voice echoed behind him and he looked up to meet those red colored eyes. "Vongola Primo you won't be going back home anytime soon." That caused Giotto to glare and bring up his flames again, the collision between the two of them ended only with a blinding light and pained cry. Vongola Primo was left right where he fell, taken down by some unknown force. Or maybe even someone they knew a bit closer to home. All he thought as his vision started to fade was getting home to warn Tsuna. He had promised he would be alright it looked like that was going to be a promise he broke.

'I..I'm sorry Tsuna...' The male's vision blurred as someone approached him, he couldn't fight the arms that picked him up. Nor did he know where they were taking him, everything just turned black and all he heard was someone talking but he couldn't make out the words.
