Siblings are awesome pt2
Tsuna paced his room a little bit. So he had to tell his brother that he was dating Riku. He wasn't really sure how to go about it. Personally, he had no tact. He was kind of an awkward kid and really, he was unsure about the whole thing. He was afraid that this revelation to Sora would somehow hurt his relationship with Riku, not make it better. That sat in the back of his mind as he timidly pushed open the door to his brother's room.
Sora looked up from where he was lying on his bed. "Hey, Tsu. What's up?"
Tsuna came all the way inside, at least comfortable with that. "Ummm..." He sat down on the bed.
Sora sensed his little brother's now discomfort, and pulled his earbuds all the way out to give him his attention. "Something wrong?" Was Tsuna getting bullied at school? Bad grades? He had a weird itch? He discovered he liked porn? What?
"You know how Riku is your best friend?" Tsuna asked, attempting to make this conversation in terms that Sora would understand.
"Yeah..." Sora replied, sitting up.
"Well, do you like him?" Wait. Maybe that was a dumb question.
Sora raised an eyebrow. "Of course I like him. We're best friends." Pause. "Wait, do YOU like him?!" Was that why he asked if Riku had a girlfriend, and what he thought about having a boyfriend?! "Tsuna, you have a crush on Riku?!" Oh my God!
Tsuna turned red and waved his hands. "No!" He squeaked. "YOU have a crush on Riku, not me!" Geeze!
Sora made a face like he didn't understand. "No I don't, we're best friends." Duh. "And I'm not gay." Duh.
"Sora don't you think, I mean, you guys are kinda, you're pretty much," this was so hard to talk about!
"Pretty much what?" Sora asked. What was this conversation about.
"You're dating! Best friends don't hold hands and cuddle each other and hug and and like touch all over and he puts his arm around you and stuff and you're always doing that. You're dating!" Yes, he said that all in one breath.
Sora stared at his comforter hard. They....had been talking about holding hands earlier today. How they always did it. Sora had felt weird at that moment. Like a wave, other moments came into his head to make a comparison. Hugs. Riku's arms around him. Being close to Riku.
"Ew!" Sora replied. "I do that?" Well, he had to stop! He didn't want Riku thinking...weird things!
"It's not ew," Tsuna reminded him. "It's okay if you like him. You guys are so close-"
"Ew, Tsuna," Sora replied. Riku was his BEST FRIEND.
Tsuna felt like he had failed. A lot. I'm sorry Gokudera!
Sora felt...embarrassed. And like he REALLY needed to watch what he was doing around Riku. How had he not noticed...? What if Riku thought they were dating? Sora couldn't bring it up. He spent most of the rest of the night worrying over it.
