D i s c l a i m e r/: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (:


I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together. -Julia Roberts


It was a quick peck on the lips.

It was a dare.

It was completely utterly wrong on so many levels.

But it was either that or getting locked in a closet with my obsessive friend who wanted to play with me as if I was a doll and become the wife of a mafia don.

At least they gave me an option, which I didn't need to think twice about.

I knew that my actions could have costed me my life and the humiliation that would follow if it was leaked to the school's gossip queens.

I had no choice though.

Try to understand, Kyoko.

I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not-

"Tsuna-kun? Did you choose, yet?" Mukuro smiled devillishly at me from across the room, "It's been ten minutes and you've been just sitting there doing nothing. "

"I figure you broke the herbivore's brain from talking too much." Hibari called out lazily as he walked by the doorway with a cup of tea.

Gokudera exploded as he stood up from his chair, "You take that back! Jyuudaime is the best and his brain is too intelligent to break!"

Even for me, that seemed like a lie.

"Ahhh it's okay Gokudera-kun." I protested weakly, I didn't need Hibari and Gokudera to fight again and destroy yet another lounging room.

The silver-haired teen fell to his seat with an unsatisfied look that adorned his face.

Turning my attention away from the right-hand man, I decided to answer Mukuro's question, "Mn. I decided."

As if I was the conductor and I had raised my baton, all eyes fell on me and suddenly it became deadly silent.

"I pick the choice where..." My eyes fluttered across the room nervously, I probably looked as if I was having a seizure though.

A rush of heat fled to my cheeks as I shielded my face from their eyes, I mumbled the answer quickly in hopes that they wouldn't understand and just give up.

"I-pick-the-choice-where-I-kiss-Reborn."

Unfortunately, it seems that Yamamoto has chosen that time to be very attentive to every single word I said.

"He said he wants to kiss Reborn," Yamamoto said aloud to clarify the confusion of the other guardians.

Lambo started laughing slowly, "I think I heard wrong...did you just say that Tsuna wants to kiss Reborn instead of staying in a closet with Haru for 10 minutes?"

I groaned inwardly as I nodded slowly.

Mukuro smirked, "Can you blame him? Kufufufu...Haru can be sometimes..."

"EXTREMELY WEIRD." Ryohei roared out, "I understand that she is Kyoko's extremely best friend but sometimes Haru is a crazy person."

At least my famiglia understands me.

"Well then," Mukuro grinned, "Go on ahead and kiss your tutor."

With that being said, the mist guardian pushed me through the door and led me to a long corridor.

I turned my head to look behind us, and I saw all the other guardians hot on our tails but with...body protection.

"Why do they get protective suits and I don't?" I asked worriedly for my own sake.

"Kufufufu...every man for himself."

We reached polished double oak doors and as quickly as he could, Mukuro threw me inside as if feeding a guppy to a shark.

I fell to the floor with a soft 'thud' but the curse I let out after it wasn't as quiet.

"Ouch..." I grumbled as I rubbed my bottom tenderly, "That could have gone smoother."

A snore brought me away from my current thoughts and my eyes drifted to the figure on the couch.

It was Reborn.

Sleeping in the oddest position ever. But things like that don't surprise me. Reborn was often what you would call...eccentric. Even in his sleep apparently.

I got to my feet and creeped over to the side of the couch where his head hung back loosely.

'Whoa. His face looks so handsome. Like a movie star.' I noticed as his porcelain doll like face was as beautiful as ever. 'Wait no. I'm a guy. I don't notice things like that.'

I shook the thought of Reborn being handsome out of my head, 'C'mon and get it over with, Tsuna. Just a kiss. My first kiss. No it doesn't matter. Do it.'

I adjust my face according to the angle of Reborn's head so that when I went for the kill, I won't hurt myself or Reborn. If I did it wrong, then I would wake Reborn up and he would add more salt to my wounds.

My eyes closed as I leaned in to his lips, 'Goodbye first kiss. I saved you for a while, but it seems that fate wants you to go to the wrong person. Oh well.'

After what it seems to have been an eternity, our lips met.

First thing that was noticed.

'Wow. His lips are reallllllly soft. Is it natural for them to be this...kiss-able? Wait what.'

Second thing that was noticed.

'I should probably pull away now. But I don't want to. Wait what? No. I'm a guy. Last time I checked, I liked girls.'

Third thing that was noticed.

'It doesn't matter if I'm a guy! I like this feeling so I'm not going to let it go.'

Fourth thing that was noticed was that I was down with that.

Did it matter that I was a guy?

Does gender matter?

Love is love. It comes in variety.

Like a box of chocolates.

Each one is unique in its own special way.

"Mgnh?" Reborn mumbled against my lips, causing me to flinch and pull back faster than you could even breath in a gulp of air.

Reborn's long black lashes batted against each other once and then twice before his obsidian eyes gazed up groggily at the ceiling.

I wiped my lips quickly as I tried to calm my thudding heart and my uncontrollable blush.

My tutor glanced around the room, as if looking for something and then his eyes fell on me.

It was an odd silence until he broke it with an even odder question, "Why did you stop?"

"What?" I asked stupidly.

Reborn gave me a crooked smirk, "Nevermind." His smile became more relaxed as he got up and stretched, "Did one of the guys send you here to wake me up?"

That. Was a perfect excuse.

"Um. Y-yeah. Ha ha ha. I was going to wake you up but you woke up before I had the chance, and your sudden movement scared me so I fell..." I interwove the truth with the lies.

"Hm it's 12:47. I think I'll go for some lunch." Reborn checked his watch as he got off the couch and headed to the table where his hat was.

I nodded, completely jubilant that Reborn didn't notice anything, "Yeah! G-go eat something. The chefs will be happy to serve you."

The other man grabbed his fedora and clicked open the door, making the other guardians who were anxiously waiting outside to scramble away.

Reborn turned his head slowly to look at me and a mischievous look glinted in his eyes, "You know... You're not a bad kisser."

Then he just strode out the room humming a tuneless song.

I sat there on the floor speechless until he walked away.

After a few moments to recollect my mixed emotions, I started to grin.

'Well first kiss. It seems that fate sent you to the right person.'


It just so happened to start off with a kiss.

And like an avalanche, the rest came tumbling down shortly and unexpectedly.


A/N: Wah. It's 3:29 in the morning guys. I'm tired. So I'm off to bed. (: Please R and R. I would love to continue writing these drabbles (Or in this case a really long one-shot) for R27, but I can't write well without inspiration. You guys. Are my inspiration.

I hope you enjoyed (: Sorry if it came out very un-professionally written. Summer has squeezed the intelligence out of my brain and replaced it with some random things.

I'll try to write clearer and more pleasing to the eye.

Love you,

Monday-Mornings.
