Next Day
Cool night air washed over the couple, rustling the leaves of the surrounding cherry trees. Tsuna rested lazily by Hibari's side, leaning on his solid form. The yozakura glowed with what little light the universe left them. The soft colors of the falling petals mesmerized Tsuna. It would be another year before the trees bloomed this beautifully again. Tsuna could not stop staring at them. He might have continued staring at them if not for a prodding question.
"Umm, Hibari-san. Didn't you tell me we would do this another day?"
Tsuna straightened himself so he could face Hibari. Upon feeling the small weight leave his side, Hibari slowly turned his gaze from the yozakura to Tsuna's puzzled face.
"I mean! It's not that I don't want to be with you! It's just…"
Hibari watched as Tsuna embarrassedly rubbed the back of his head.
"I just… I didn't think—"
"You talk too much."
Hibari leaned forward, leaving no time for Tsuna to properly react.
For a moment, Tsuna was caught up in a whirl of emotions. His heart beat rapidly, echoing off the silence of the night. Hibari's scent wrapped around his mind, nearly intoxicating him. He struggled to stop breathing before losing himself. Unconsciously, Tsuna grabbed Hibari's sleeves. He wanted to stay linked—secure like this forever. As Hibari separated their lips, Tsuna felt helpless. Any sound he tried to make came out as nothing.
Hibari moved back and smiled, pleased with Tsuna's response.
"You know," he said smoothly, "I was waiting for you to ask me out so you'd finally have a reason to finish your work."
Tsuna's face jerked out of its catatonic state. Eh?
"I had prepared everything to be prepared even before you asked," Hibari stated knowingly.
"…Heeeh!?"
"I thought you would finish a little after noon… Instead it's well past midnight."
Tsuna gaped. It's seriously that late!? was written all over his face.
Hibari smiled and kissed Tsuna on the nose, snapping him out of his shock and making him blush fiercely. "It's fine. Now we have the place to ourselves."
"That's true!" Tsuna agreed, closing his eyes and relaxing once more.
"As long as it takes…"
Tsuna looked up questioningly at Hibari, who was still facing him.
"I'll wait for you."
Tsuna stared at Hibari. A background of petals rushed behind Hibari, a few petals straying between them. Tsuna felt a surge of joy in his chest, but then found himself slouched against Hibari. He didn't realize how exhausted he was. Hibari picked up Tsuna gently.
"Now that your work is done, we can return when the sun is up."
Hibari carried Tsuna off to his place.

Later that day…
"Boss must have pulled an all-nighter! It's already past noon and he's not up yet," Yamamoto joked to Gokudera.
"Hibari that son of a…" mumbled Gokudera.
The end of the end.
