Tsuna's warm brown eyes gazed down at the ground below him from his perch on the roof of Namimori Middle, considering what he was about to do. A week before, Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Lambo had all been gravely injured in an ambush meant for him. They'd assured him that it hadn't been his fault earnestly, but the fact that the bullying at school had gotten even worse since his two Guardians were gone, as well as that it was his fault, had driven him to this point. Jump. Jump. Jump and end this. He tensed, looking down, as Hibari, his Cloud Guardian, came up onto the roof.
Hibari had sensed someone up there and had come to bite them to death. He scowled when he saw Tsuna.
"Oi, herbivore. What -" His eyes widened in horror, seeing Tsuna standing on the low wall encircling the roof, and his normally stoic facade fell away as he realized what the herbivore was about to do. "What are you doing, herbivore?" He asked dangerously. Tsuna didn't turn around.
"I'm going to jump." He said quietly, cursing silently at being found. Hibari's eyes widened further. "Go away."
"...Why?" Tsuna paused, tears welling in his caramel doe eyes.
"Because Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Lambo were all hurt because of me. All the Guardians have been at least once. Everyone at school hates me and won't leave me alone." He hated how his voice shook at the end of the sentence, betraying his calm manner. "So I'm going to jump."
"No, you won't. What about all your herbivore Guardians?" Hibari said and stepped forward. "What about me?" Tsuna whipped around and Hibari was shocked at the sight of his tears.
"You don't even like me, Hibari-san! Why do you care?" The herbivore wailed and Hibari froze. Tsuna began to cry. "I love Hibari-san! Hibari-san is organized and kind and loyal! But Hibari-san doesn't like me at all!" Tsuna shook his head, trying to shake away the tears blurring his vision. He stepped back a bit, over the edge, and his eyes widened as he began to fall, like he was in slow motion. Hibari lunged forward, seeing the endearing spiky head of hair disappearing over the edge.
Please, please let me be in time. He prayed under his breath and stretched out his arms. He caught the herbivore around the waist with one arm and hung onto the wall with the other. Slowly and painfully, he pulled them both up to the other side, safe on the rooftop. Then, he looked at the crying herbivore in his arms. He was trembling with shock and tears dripped down his chin. Hibari grabbed his wrist to keep him from moving away and Tsuna's sleeve rolled down, revealing faint crescent-shaped scars on the inside of his arms.
"What is this?' Hibari demanded, looking at Tsuna. Tsuna continued to cry, shaking his head. "What is it, Tsunayoshi?" He asked again, gentler. Tsuna gazed up at him in surprise.
"Th-the nightmares come." He said quietly. "Everyone... even Hibari-san and Reborn... they're dead." He burst into tears again, rocking back and forth. Silently, Hibari pulled him into his chest, waiting until the gasping sobs died down. Tsuna was shocked. He pressed his face into the Cloud Guardian's chest, crying quietly.
Once the tears had stopped, he pulled away, sniffling and wiping the tears. Hibari looked down at him with unreadable gray eyes. Tsuna marveled at the beautiful, mysterious colour.
"Did you mean it when you said you loved me?" Hibari asked. Tsuna looked at the roof, ashamed. Slowly, he nodded. Hibari reached out a hand and tipped up his chin. Tsuna peered up at his face in wonder. Then, Hibari slowly pressed his lips gently against Tsuna's. Tsuna's eyes widened. The powerful Guardian pulled away and Tsuna smiled sweetly, joyfully. He threw his arms around Hibari's chest, tears of happiness welling.
"I love you too, Tsunayoshi." A few days later, when Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Lambo were healed, Tsuna and Hibari revealed their new relationship. Yamamoto, being Yamamoto, was the first to give his approval.
"If you're happy, Tsuna." As expected, the silver-haired Guardian grumbled a lot before grudgingly giving his approval as well.
"But," He began, glaring at Hibari. "If you hurt the Tenth, I will destroy you." Hibari nodded his understanding. Then, once everyone had left, Tsuna was surprised when Hibari pulled him into his chest.
"It's all right, Tsuna." Tsuna repressed a smile at the use of his nickname. "You're mine now, forever and always. Now, will you tell me who were the ones that hurt you?"
Tsuna considered telling Hibari that it didn't matter, then decided that they would deserve it, if not for him then for his Family members whom they'd ridiculed.
"Of course, Kyoya." The next day, Tsuna silently enjoyed the looks on everyone's faces when Dame-Tsuna walked into his classroom hand-in-hand with Hibari Kyoya, the demon of Namimori Middle.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You don't know, dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
