Wrath of the Octopus

After a few more moments of sitting in his lap, Tsuna lifted his head up to Basil. "You won't leave will you?"

Basil smiled as he tightened his hold on his friend and shook his head. "Of course not! How can I leave thee like this? Don't worry I'll stay for as long as thee wants me to."

Tsuna smiled shyly and rested his head on Basil's chest. It was so warm and safe and he felt all his troubles slip away. All he could think about was Basil and being with Basil. It was a strange feeling for Tsuna as he thought that this type of feelings belonged only in books and fairy tales. He also thought he was straight, but here he was falling for another man. Basil kept Tsuna close, who knew when he might get another chance like this to be with Tsuna without anyone there to interrupt or get in the way.

It wasn't long before Tsuna had fallen asleep happily and relaxed in the tender caring arms of Basil. Tsuna was exhausted from the battles and from school and from fighting and hiding his feelings from other people and from himself. Basil carefully carried Tsuna up to his room and lay him down on his bed. Turning around to leave Tsuna to sleep and hand grasped the back of his shirt.

Basil turned around and looked down at the hand. Tsuna had woken and it seemed he didn't want Basil to walk away from him. Smiling, Basil took Tsuna's hand in his own and sat beside him.

"What is it Sawada-Dono?"

"Don't leave…" Tsuna replied sleepily, his cheeks a crimson red colour. "Please just stay with me…"

Chuckling at his sleepy friend, Basil lay down beside him and pulled him close to his chest. "I will don't worry I'm not going any were." He kissed the top of Tsuna's forehead keeping him close.

Tsuna lifted a hand up to Basil's cheek and guided his face to his lips. Blinking at Tsuna's bold declaration, Basil decided it would be cruel to ignore Tsuna's wishes and pushed him softly on to his back and deepened the kiss not holding anything back. Tsuna didn't resist him; he just curled his arms around his neck and twisted his fingers around in Basil's hair.

Clunk!

Lifting his head up from Tsuna, Basil looked around and couldn't see the source of the noise. He looked down to a confused looking Tsuna, who still had his arms wrapped around Basil's neck. Smiling softly Basil lowered his head back down to Tsuna's and began kissing him again.

Clunk!

Again Basil lifted his head up and looked towards the window. Clunk! A stone was thrown towards the window. Slowly, and reluctantly, Basil climbed up off the bed, causing Tsuna to lean up on his arm to see what is going on, and look outside the window.

Below was Gokudera with a few stones in his hand, which he dropped when he saw it, was Basil who had come to the window to investigate. He scowled at him, which even in the slowly fading day was very noticeable. Basil opened the bedroom window and popped his head out of it.

"Gokudera-Dono? Why are thee here?"

"I've come to see Juudiame. Why are you in his room?"

"I share the same room as him. Thee know that." Basil sighed and looked towards Tsuna for help. Tsuna rose from the bed and walked over to the window standing next to Basil. The bitter wind of the closing day blew in to the open window and made Tsuna shiver. Seeing him shiver Basil placed his arm over Tsuna's shoulders and pulled him close to his side.

Gokudera looked as if he was about to explode. "Don't touch Juudiame!"

Tsuna signed. He was use to this kind of treatment from Gokudera. Still shivering from the bitter cold wind, Tsuna clung to Basil's side for warmth. "Look Gokudera-Kun can we talk tomorrow, me and Basil-Kun still need to sort some things out."

He hoped by making it out there was more to talk about, that Gokudera would go home, but that wasn't going to be an easy thing to do. Gokudera looked furious. It seemed the contact between Tsuna and Basil wasn't allowed and Gokudera was making it obvious that he didn't agree with it. All Gokudera wanted to do was to put a wedge between Tsuna and Basil. Tsuna belonged to Gokudera! Or at least that is how Gokudera saw things.

Again, Tsuna tried to reason with Gokudera to get him to go home. Every time he tried it was getting very apparent that Gokudera wasn't going to leave till he got what he came for. As a last ditch attempt to make the teenager go home, Basil lifted Tsuna's face up to look at him and kissed him deeply. "Sawada-Dono, I'll go let Gokudera-Dono in seen as he is so determined to come join in our conversation."

Tsuna blushed a much darker crimson red than he normally blushes and buried his face in to Basil's chest understanding the little trick. The only problem was Tsuna's reaction was all too true. He certainly never though Basil would be this cunning, he always thought Basil was straight up and honest, always willing to try and please everyone. Gokudera's eyes made out Tsuna shaking his head in Basil's chest, in the dim light of the room.

"N-No… I want it to be just you and me. We need to… t-to…" Tsuna lost his words due to the embarrassment he was feeling, due to Basil kissing him in front of a friend.

Chuckling softly to himself Basil nuzzles the top of Tsuna's head. "To finish our talk?"

Tsuna nodded shyly, the peeked down at Gokudera. He looked as if he was about to pass out. What had gotten in to Gokudera? He was being surprisingly calm about Basil's form of affection. Staring down at the outlined shape of Gokudera, as the sun had now practically set and the street lights were starting to ping in to life, Tsuna watched as Gokudera placed his hand on the garden wall and hop on to the top of it. Standing up straight, Gokudera looked up at Tsuna with an instance stare.

"Juudiame… what is he forcing you to do?" Gokudera called up in a worrying but gentle tone. Tsuna fidgeted. Gokudera didn't understand. This was what Tsuna wanted. He wanted to be with Basil. This was his true feelings, but Gokudera was making him question his own heart. Basil sensed the uneasiness in Tsuna by the way he clung to him.

"Gokudera-Dono I think it would be best if thee left this talk till morning. I'm sure Sawada-Dono would be more willing to explain things to thee then." Basil said to Gokudera hoping that he was helping the situation.

Obviously this wasn't what Gokudera wanted to hear. He wanted Tsuna; that was made clear. But here he watched as Tsuna clung to someone else. Someone that he hardly knew! Clenching his fists, Gokudera grumbled to himself then looked down. "You!" He pointed a finger at Basil glaring with all his might thinking it might scare off Basil, "You, had better not lay a hand on Juudiame! You know nothing about him! You have no right to even think about him! I'll leave for tonight but after tomorrow you'll know who should be beside Juudiame."

With that, Gokudera jumped down off the wall and head off towards his flat, but kept looking over his shoulder at Basil and Tsuna hoping Tsuna would punch Basil and tell him to get away. Instead he watched Basil close the window with Tsuna holding on to him as if scared Basil will fall out. The curtains where drawn by Basil and Gokudera could see the silhouettes of the two boys become one in front of the window.
