Genre: Humor/Romance
Fandom: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Pairing(s): Reborn/Lambo
Summary: "Um, Lambo? Why does your room look like a fruit tree exploded?"
A/N: One-shot.
When Yamamoto entered the small apartment, the first thing he noticed was the smell. Something delicious was being cooked in this apartment, and he was determined to find out what.
So, he proceeded towards the logical destination of the kitchen, and was astonished to find that nobody was there. In fact, the room appeared as though it hadn't been touched in months, if the thick layer of dust covering the counter-tops was any indication. So, without further ado, the swords-master moved on down the hall, checking doors as he went, until he wound up in the bedroom.
Suddenly, Yamamoto was very happy that Ayame hadn't insisted on coming with him to check on Lambo. The poor girl might have had a relapse at the sight which greeted Yamamoto's eyes upon opening that bedroom door.
"Um, Lambo? Why does your room look like a fruit tree exploded?"
The aforementioned Thunder Guardian gave a start at realizing he wasn't alone anymore and almost tripped over himself grabbing the nearest weapon he could find as he whirled around to face the intruder.
"Dammit, Yamamoto!" Lambo whined, once he'd gotten his bearings reorganized. "I could've killed you!"
Yamamoto smiled slightly at the object in the boy's hand. "With a can of whipped cream?"
Lambo turned his attention to the can and blushed furiously before hiding it behind his back. "Ah..."
"It's ok," Yamamoto stated, shaking his head as he laughed. "You don't have to-"
"Reborn's on a mission!" Lambo blurted. Yamamoto raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I know. Tsuna sent me to check up on you. Make sure you're holding up okay."
Lambo stared a him blankly for a beat. "Oh. Oh yeah!" He smiled widely. "I'm great! Better than great! You know, this is the first time I've been in my apartment since-"
He went beat red and coughed nervously.
"-um yeah...anyways...I decided to celebrate by throwing myself a party! So, I went into town to buy food, and realized that I don't actually have any money since I had to use my last paycheck to fix the roof of the base from where I accidentally shot a hole in it last week trying to kill-"
There was a pregnant pause.
"-never mind...so I ended up at Kyoko's house and she gave me lots of fruit and then on may way home I stopped by-"
Lambo cut off again looking slightly put off.
"-by Reborn's and got some whipped cream for the strawberries and-"
Yamamoto tried very hard not to think about why Reborn had whipped cream and how Lambo knew about it.
"-when I got back here with it all I decided that since it's MY apartment, I could just bypass the kitchen and eat in my room like I used to until-"
Lambo paused once more, this time to glare stonily at the wall for a moment before continuing in a more bitter tone.
"And then, of course, I tripped over something and the fruit went flying. I was actually just cleaning it up when you got here."
The two guardians stared at each other for almost a full minute before Yamamoto decided that it was finally safe to speak without fear of interruption.
"So...you miss him then?"
Lambo promptly burst into tears and tried to jump off the terrace, but Yamamoto stopped him.
The End
(At least until Reborn gets back)
