This is the second bonus chapter to Mirror, made for July 27th, 2018 (7/27/18) hehehe from that alone, I suppose you might guess the theme of this chapter, but have fun reading it anyway!


Hibari Kyoya sat on the couch in his living room, legs pulled up and splayed out on either side of him, watching the twins squabble on the floor over the T.V. remote. Just 3 months had passed since the boys lost their mother, and though Kyoya wasn't really sure why, his own mother had insisted on all but actually adopting them; the woman had them over for dinner more nights than she let them be – despite them having their own place. He watched as Natsu gave one long, lasting pout at his brother and Tsuna gave in, relenting the device for the other to watch some anime that was playing on some channel Kyoya had never cared to bother with before.

"Tsunayoshi." Kyoya called from above them, and although he had called the name of only one brother, they both turned to the older boy. "What did you want to watch?" he found himself asking before he had conscious thought to say it.

"... I wanted to watch the Discovery Channel, see that new show they have. I watched the trailer for it and it looks really good." Tsuna pouted. And again, before he had the conscious forethought, Kyoya blurted out, (to the surprise of both his parents and his sister)

"I have a T.V. in my room, want to see it there?" Tsuna's eyes lit up and he nodded his head twice, a smile nearly glowing on his face, and Kyoya felt a vindictive pride over being the one who put it there.

"But Tsuna!" Natsu said, his voice and eyes showing his clear betrayal over his brother leaving him. Tsuna just smiled at him and hugged his twin tightly.

"But this is better! Now we both get to watch what we want!" Tsuna practically sang as he pet his brother's hair for a moment, standing when Kyoya did. "Come on! I don't want to miss anything!" Tsuna said as he pulled lightly on Kyoya's hand.

Really, it was all Tsuna's fault, his glowing smile and his infectious cheer, that Kyoya fell for him then and there.


It was only a week later that Kyoya confessed his love for Tsuna.

The twins were over for a sleepover – Kyoya's idea – and they were just settling in for the night. Kyoya wasn't sure why he felt a spark of jealousy from it, but the twins looked happy as they snuggled under the covers of the spare futon on Kyoya's bedroom floor. He waited semi-patiently for them to fall asleep before he crawled out of bed and over to Tsuna, shaking his shoulder slightly.

Kyoya thought Tsuna looked positively adorable as his eyes fluttered open, and he rubbed at them with the clear intent to wake up more.

"Kyo-nii?" he whispered, and Kyoya put a finger to his own lips, shushing the boy silently. With a confused frown, Tsuna nodded and pushed away from Natsu, who instantly curled into the spot where Tsuna used to be. Tsuna smiled down at his brother's actions and followed Kyoya over to the boy's bed. It wasn't far, but Tsuna still felt like he was walking quite a distance away from Natsu and unease pooled in his gut. He sat on the bed with Kyoya, watching with intent as the older boy stared into Tsuna's eyes. Tsuna blinked and was about to ask what was wrong when Kyoya suddenly moved.

Like a snake strike, Kyoya's lips were on Tsuna's and larger hands forced Tsuna to be still, not letting him back away. Kyoya swallowed Tsuna's surprised sound and within seconds his tongue was tangled with a smaller, hotter one and it was all Kyoya could do to keep his enthusiasm in check. Until Tsuna regained his thought process.

A fist rudely interrupted their kiss, pushing into Kyoya's stomach and making the 13 year old slump back for air. He looked up in time to watch Tsuna raise his little fist a second time, and slam it forward into Kyoya's head, the (surprising) power behind the punch propelled the older boy into the wall next to his bed.

He sat dazed on his bed, watching Tsuna wake his brother, re-pack their things, and leave with a very confused Natsu trailing behind him. Kyoya sat there with wide eyes for a good hour before he finally moved a hand up to his head where he had met the wall and dabbed his fingers there. He pulled his hand back and looked at the remnants of dried blood on his finger tips, just barely visible in the light of the moon through his window. He decided then that Tsuna would be about the only one Kyoya would find as a suitable mate in all his life.

And he could tell from that punch that Tsuna (probably) liked him too. Why else would Tsuna hit on him?


Tsuna couldn't believe it. Why the hell did Kyoya kiss him? Though, as the young brunette thought it over, it wasn't the fact that Kyoya kissed him that had his nerves all twisted around. No, it was the kiss itself – though Tsuna couldn't put a finger on why he felt so... wrong. It was like that one kiss had forced him to betray someone precious, like it killed something in him. It took Tsuna days to figure it out, and with a long, lasting look at Natsu while they shared the same bed, Natsu's eyes watching him back, Tsuna came to a realization he never thought possible.

He had never had a crush before, but he thought he might have one on Natsu. No one else understood him like Natsu did, no one even really cared to even try. But Natsu did – Natsu cared. The taller twin wanted to listen to Tsuna prattle on and on about useless things that Tsuna loved talking about, even if most of his words went in one ear and out the other. Natsu made Tsuna blush, made him babble, made him laugh and smile and somehow forget, for just a moment, that they were essentially orphaned without their mother. Natsu made Tsuna feel alive, and made him want to live for Natsu.

And Tsuna loved him for it. Loved him so much it hurt to keep contained. With a soft smile and a gentle sigh, Tsuna said aloud words that were only ever meant to stay in his head.

"I love you, Natsu."

His smile fell as Natsu's eyes reopened, looking into Tsuna's in confusion. Tears filled Tsuna's eyes as he sat up, scarlet already burning his cheeks as he listened to the silence repeat his words. He buried his face in his hands, and he felt Natsu shift into sitting up with him as the first tear escaped.

"I-I! I didn't – I mean I – "

"I love you too, Tsuna."

Tsuna was so taken aback by the words that he stopped breathing momentarily. It took him a couple of calming breaths before he could move his hands from his face, even with Natsu's insistent yet gentle pulls at his left wrist. He took in Natsu's accepting smile, the love in his eyes that he always had when they looked at each other and a rock settled in Tsuna's stomach.

"You... don't understand, do you?" It was rhetorical, and the tone inflicted stated as such. "I... I love you. But not like I should, Natsu." Tsuna's voice trembled as he tried to think of the right words. "I'm a freak-"

"No, you're not. Tsuna. Look at me." Natsu's voice was strained, and the sound of it made Tsuna look up – and wonder when the hell he had looked away. Natsu's eyes were clear, but they were hard, and Tsuna found himself taking comfort and warmth as well as strength to continue over his brother.

"Tsuna you aren't-"

"Yes I am. I love you, Natsu, and not like family should! I want to kiss you! And I want everything those couples on T.V. get to have! And I shouldn't want any of it with you! You're my brother!" He ended his tirade while sinking in his seated position, folding over himself as if he could shrink enough to just disappear. He sobbed into his knees and felt a hand threading through his hair.

"Tsuna..." Natsu sounded like he was close to tears, and Tsuna couldn't bare to look up at him, knowing they would be tears of sad rejection and-

"I love you, and I want what those couples have too. With you." Natsu whispered the words, and it sounded like the sweetest love song to Tsuna's ears. With shock keeping him locked in place, Tsuna could only barely respond to Natsu coaxing him into sitting up. Tsuna opened his mouth, but no sounds or words made it past his lips and he shut them in favour of trying to control his tears.

Natsu leaned forward and let their lips touch, his hands on either side of Tsuna's neck. He wasn't forcing Tsuna to stay where he was, just bracing him to keep him up right. He wasn't intrusive, he wasn't overbearing, he wasn't forceful. He was just Natsu, kissing his brother with a small simple kiss that left Tsuna breathless.

Tsuna realized why Kyoya's kiss had left him feeling so wrong. It was wrong because it wasn't Natsu's kiss. It wasn't Natsu. Shaking from all the revelations the night had given him, Tsuna climbed into Natsu's lap and kissed his brother back with all the passion he could muster. Natsu responded with a soft smile, hands trailing Tsuna's back and he pulled them both back down to the bed, having them lay out to sleep.

Tsuna fought sleep as hard as he could, but relented as he felt Natsu kiss his forehead and whisper a soft goodnight to him.


It's more 727 than it is 72718, but I hope you all enjoyed it! R&R? I'll do Natsu's side of things in an actual chapter. I have plans, I promise!
