"Can I please come down?

'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round.

Can I please come down?"

— Astronaut (Simple Plan)

It all started with a word.

"Ciaossu!"

Tsuna never thought that such a little thing could change so much in his life, but it did and Reborn had not just brought him friends but also something that he had long forgotten.

His flame.

Years living without it made him so used to that feeling of emptiness that he simply forgot the warmth and rightness that the flame brought to him. But each time that Reborn shot him, he felt right and started to remember. Remember the feeling of something burning inside of his chest flowing to every part of his body, protecting him.

At first he was confused. Why had he felt right when he was running on his underwear screaming like a madman? He was just embarrassing his self, breaking rules, giving people more reasons to mock him and yet part of him was happy. And then, all of sudden, the confusion and happiness changed to a dread feeling.

He got scared. 'I'm losing it again!' he thought. He didn't know what he was losing, but it wasn't the first time that this was happening. He knew that something inside of him was being suppressed and this something was fighting to break free.

Reborn's bullets were the first to let his flame to go out of the seal, but they were not enough to give its freedom. The flame would roar through his veins, claiming his body and giving him warmth, protection and the power he needed and then, suddenly, they would fade so quickly that it left Tsuna thinking whether it was real or not.

It was Gokudera that let his flame be truly free, not letting them be locked from his own self. It was when he accepted the brunette as his boss that his flames harmonized with Tsuna's pure sky flames, holding tight on them and not letting them go. At that time the-soon-to-be-Don didn't realize what happened, but he understood that Gokudera gave him a feeling of stability.

After his right-hand man it was Yamamoto's time to drag out more of his flames and claim him as his Sky. When saving the baseball star from his suicide, Tsuna unconsciously wrapped his flames around the taller boy, touching the rain flame and harmonizing with it, soothing Yamamoto's worries and trying to protect him.

And so, each time he got a guardian — a friend — his flames refused to let the seal tie them down and with the help of the Dying Will bullet Nono's flames started to disappear from Tsuna's body, not being able to restrain the younger sky flame anymore.

Little by little he started to feel right again.

If before he thought to be in the space, then now he was back on the Earth.

Knowing it, Tsuna would play with his flames and stare as they danced in his fingers. He would smile and close his eyes, feeling them within him. He would lit them every time he felt insecure and scared to remind his self that he is no longer "Dame-Tsuna", that he isn't alone.

He is still a little clumsy and his grades didn't improve at all, but looking at the people surrounding him, he knows that he changed.

He is not cold anymore.

Well, I hope the chapter was good enough.

Honestly, I didn't like that much, but... I don't know... if i talked about every guardian it would be repetitive so I didn't, but then I didn't know what more to write so I guess the chapter ended a little small.
