Takeshi wants to run to him, wrap his arms around him, drag him to the car that he knows is waiting, but Hayato wouldn’t stand for that. It’s hard to tell in the rain and with how Hayato is hugging himself under the umbrella that’s doing a semi-adequate job at best. He has water in his eyes so his vision is somewhat impaired, but he thinks Hayato is shivering. There’s a gash on the side of his chin that’s bleeding far more profusely that it has any right to, and he’s littered with smaller scratches and bruises all over, but most of the blood on him used to be inside the poor bastard who’s now bleeding in a clearing in the forest he just emerged from. His clothes are stained, but most of the blood isn’t his. He doesn’t like spilling blood, but sometimes he’s forced to – after all, the world is full of people who crave the title of the Sword Emperor, and Takeshi is fairly high on the list of people to defeat in order to pave the way to the final fight against Squalo. Squalo isn’t, but Takeshi is fairly sure Squalo feels more at home when he’s soaking wet anyway.Įxhaustion is settling in, now that Takeshi is done fighting. Takeshi himself is dripping water, along with sweat and blood, Tsuna and Hayato are both standing under umbrellas. It’s raining outside – pouring, really – and it’s uncharacteristically cold for the spring months in southern Italy.
One thing he was not expecting is Hayato. And Squalo, well, Squalo is his teacher, and they are currently in Italy, so Takeshi chalks it up to him wanting to observe his progress. Tsuna is his best friend and Takeshi is his Rain Guardian, after all, and Tsuna tries to be there for all of his battles. Takeshi knew Tsuna would be waiting for him, and he’s not surprised to see Squalo leaning on a tree ten or so meters behind. Warnings: Mentions of violence, blood, referenced past suicide attempt, a bunch of mental health issues, unhealthy coping mechanisms, some miscommunication, a good helping of angst Summary: “He has water in his eyes so his vision is somewhat impaired, but he thinks Hayato is shivering.” Catch me writing self-indulgent 8059 fanfiction in 2020.
