Life is...an adventure.

I had no idea, on multiple levels. How long had he felt that way and kept quiet? ...Mm. In any case, I hope I can follow through on my promise. I'll try my damnedest to. And it's because I want to. That is what is important. I'll live each day as if it were my last on the island; that's

... *thinks about this*

...Mm, I've been needing one for a long while.

All right. But I'd happily pay him; Haruhi got $100 a week when she was my assistant.

He needs to step up studying, not find short-cuts.

*a long sigh through the nose...*

All right. God knows what some of the other teachers have gotten away with here, so a little bit of give-and-take can be forgiven.

I'll only do it if Tsuna himself agrees to the deal, though. Could be tough, he's an honest kid.

*humphf*

I meant 'willingly'...

...Way back, before all this, it seemed I only heard about the rough times you two had; still, you seemed to always make it works somehow. I thought "they actually do work well together, in a way", and I was glad you had someone you could be open with, someone to rely on. Then he disappeared, and I knew that someone important to you was gone from your life; that was clear enough from your behavior, even though you never said it outloud.

After that, I didn't ask about what he meant to you, since it would be painful for you to talk about.

*breathes in, and out* ...I never really grasped it. You...pledged yourself to Hayato, didn't you?

He's the one.

*has more to say after Hibari confirms this...*

let's pretend they're somewhere Ginko can do this

...

*pauses, taking it all in, everything clicking into place in his head it seemed like - slowly moves over, and slowly brings his arms around Kyouya, pulling him in tightly, securely*

...I didn't realize how painful it must've been.

I'm sorry.

I didn't...

[sore_feet_man]

*dammit Kyouya he's pouring his heart outtt*

I know.. You never said anything. Always a tight lid... *a small sigh, and he pulls away his arms, but stays where he is, watching Kyouya's face*
