Chapter 72

There's a silence between them in which Tsuna tries to tell him just with his gaze how honest he is.

It's because he's watching him closely that he can see the way those eyes soften. A real smile curls his lips as he tilts his gaze to the side. "Didn't I say? It's understandable if you see him in me. We're the same, after all."

Tsuna shakes his head. "You're not the same. My Reborn sealed away some of his memories to start again. He wasn't like you."

Renato's smile widens. "Should I feel jealous of you calling my future self 'my Reborn' when you don't claim that level of possessiveness with me?"

He can feel himself blushing but he still stands firm as he says, "You're a different kind of mine too."

"Ho?" he whispers as he leans in. "Does that mean now you accept me as your Sun? Tell me, was I your Sun in the future, too? No, wait. Don't answer that. I was your tutor, supposed to be impartial. I couldn't be yours. Did you have another Sun then?"

He nods. "Yes, nii-san was my Sun."

"Your brother?"

"He wasn't my blood brother. He just treated me as if I was one. He was the older brother of… Kyoko-chan."

"Is that longing I hear? Perhaps a crush?"

Now he's definitely blushing, but he can't also help the smile he wears as he thinks of her. Of her gentle smile and warm eyes. Perhaps one of his biggest regrets is not telling her—

Lips meet his own, demanding unlike the other times they kissed, but the hand that cradles his head is gentle as it turns it to a better angle. Then the kiss turns into something wet and open-mouthed. And Tsuna doesn't want to stop, not when he feels so good.

Tsuna reaches with his flames to the Hitman, pulling him closer. Now that he knows he can harmonize with them, he feels as if a weight has been lifted from him. The restraint he had to enforce himself for so long now is over. He can snap their flames together, but while he can feel the amount of love Renato feels for him through their flames, gentle Sun flames push his own off, slowly disentangling him away from his own.

He's slightly surprised, so much so that he turns his head to the side sharply, making their teeth knock together and stop their kiss as unexpectedly as it started.

Tsuna cringes internally at his bad move. His breathing is slightly labored, eyes still half-lidded as he watches confusedly at Renato who chuckles as if he's been told a funny joke. They're still close, he can feel his nose brushing against his cheeks and his warm breath on his cheeks.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing," he says, laugh still in his eyes. "I just have a selfish wish, something I always wanted to do with my Sky but…"

Oh whoa. If he didn't know any better, he would think Renato is embarrassed, but that's impossible… right?

As soon as that sheepish, embarrassed expression appears, it's gone in the next second. All that's left is a smooth, hungry look that would have made him instinctively step back if he wasn't pressed against a wall already.

Soon a hard chest is pressed against his own, hands slowly trail his sides before settling on his hips. His voice drops an octave as he asks, "What do you think of us having sex?"

Tsuna is sure his blush makes his whole face go a new shade of red yet to be discovered, not even the tips of his ears are safe from such bold words.

"You like kissing me, but would you be okay if we were to take a step forward?"

Drawing strength from his flames, Tsuna takes a deep breath to calm himself and takes a wild shot, "You want to harmonize while having sex?"

Well, he hopes his voice doesn't sound as high-pitched as it does to his own ears.

"Yup," Renato fucking chirps. "Call it a fantasy, but whenever I had sex with a Sky, it was really, really good. I always thought to do it that way if I had a Sky I was sexually attracted to then I would like to harmonize with them that way."

"Oh."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with doing it the other way," the vanilla way, Tsuna's mind supplies, "but I also know there's been some sexual tension between us for some time now, so I take it as shooting two birds with a stone."

Okay, okay. Just think calm thoughts, don't think of the half-hard member that now you cannot stop thinking about pressed against your stomach. Or the hands that are massaging your sides, or about the handsome man who just admitted to being attracted—

Easier said than done.

In his panic, Tsuna pushes forward his flames, enough to be a hair away from going hyper mode. He feels his flush recede and his calm return. And, well, he can't deny the truth of Renato's words. And it has been a long while since he has been with a man. So he takes a deep breath as he wraps his arms around Renato's neck and pulls him close.

Is not a yes but he doesn't think he can voice anything at this moment.
