So I was looking for prompts for fanfics, and I sent a message out to my best reviewers giving each of them a request. I will do this occasionally, especially when I'm blocked, so review often if you want this chance :)

This fanfiction is for GStorm59, who asked for this:

Do you think you could write a 8059 where Yama breaks up with Dera for some reason and Dera gets all depressed? You don't see that many out there but I like those kinds :3

So here we go!

"Gokuderaaaaaa!"

Gokudera couldn't help but feel both a twinge of annoyance and happiness at the sound of his lover's voice.

The silver haired teen turned around just in time to be swept up into a tight hug.

The baseball player would grin stupidly and plant a kiss on Gokudera's forehead, causing the shorter boy to blush heavily.

At least, that's how it used to be.

Today, Yamamoto walked by without even a glance at the Italian. While Gokudera only snorted and turned his head, it was only his pride doing so. On the inside, it was torture. It felt like his heart was ripping itself apart.

I knew it. Every single time I open up to someone it comes back to bite me in the ass. Gokudera seethed.

He wasn't prepared for how much it hurt. He really hadn't thought he had cared that much about Yamamoto.

Apparently, he was wrong. He did care for the other boy, very much so. It could even be said that he was in l-

Gokudera stopped that thought cold.

Angry and depressed, Gokudera pulled out a cigarette. His trembling hands dropped his lighter twice before he managed to light it. He inhaled, feeling the burn of the nicotine in his lungs.

Tsuna frowned, having noticed the tension between his two best friends. The pair had been careful to keep their relationship a secret, even from Tsuna. Gokudera was afraid of what Tsuna would think. But Tsuna was perceptive, and even though he had never known the true shift in his guardians' relationship, he knew they were close and that this coldness was unexpected.

"Gokudera, what's going on with you and Yamamoto?" Tsuna asked, genuinely concerned.

Gokudera sighed and blew out a stream of smoke.

"I'm sorry Jyuudaime, but I can't tell you." Gokudera was hurting, both over the situation itself and the fact that he didn't feel like he could confide in his boss. He valued Tsuna's opinion of himself over anyone's, and he wouldn't be able to bear it if Tsuna rejected him simply because of his sexuality.

"Gokudera-kun…" The boss's big brown eyes softened. As much as he tried to hide how hurt he was, Tsuna could see right through his right hand man.

"I'm sorry. I need to go home."

Gokudera turned and walked off towards his apartment. He couldn't remember the last time he had walked here by himself. The majority of his time was spent at either Yamamoto's house or Tsuna's, and when he did come to his apartment at least one of the other boys was accompanying him. He wasn't used to being alone anymore.

And now, he was very, very lonely.

He hadn't felt this lonely in a long time.

When he closed the door, the emptiness was overwhelming. He felt himself collapsing to the ground, his knees buckling underneath the weight of the silence.

He felt rare tears sliding down his cheeks. What had he done? What had made the baseball player push him away?

What had caused Yamamoto to break his heart?

I decided to break this one up into separate chapters. I really was intrigued by this prompt, as I normally break the couple up through a death. It's strange having them apart yet both alive, but I'm having fun with this. This is definitely something new.
