Warnings for chapter one: cross-dressing

Chapter One has books.

Free study time was in session but as usual, no one actually did any work. There was no teacher to keep them in check so all the students did whatever they desired.

A few boys nearby were huddling around one single desk right beside Sawada Tsunayoshi. They were laughing and smiling and the brunette wondered what was up. But, he was too shy to even ask and dismissed that thought.

Until, one started speaking to him.

"Hey Sawada."

"Y-Yes?"

"What do you think of this girl?"

The crew flooded over to his desk and laid a magazine right before him. The page was opened to a pretty girl with long black hair dressed in a bikini. The boys huddled around him were whistling and commenting on how 'hot' she was.

However, to Tsuna's eyes, she wasn't all that much.

"S-She's nice," he managed to mutter out.

Not that he could say that she wasn't or else, they might pummel him to a pulp for being 'blind' is what they would say.

"I thought so!" The boy who had asked him the question responded excitedly.

They shifted from his desk and away to another; apparently, the boys were going around to each person and asking their opinion on the model.

Sighing softly, Tsuna rubbed at his temples.

"Tsuna-kun? Are you ok?" Kyoko, the school's idol, came over to ask.

"I-I'm fine!" Tsuna said.

Kyoko was a really nice girl; cute is what everyone would call her. She was the one girl that all the boys wanted to go out with, well, most of the male population in the school. Even Mochida, the upperclassmen was after her. However; she didn't appeal to Tsuna much.

Because, rather than being attracted to girls, the brunette seemed to be drawn towards boys more. He had only found that out recently and was trying to deny the fact. Except, it wasn't working too well.

School was tedious and when it was finally over, Tsuna jolted out of the classroom. He had some business to take care of and he had to get it done now or else, he wouldn't be able to sit still.

Well, this was definitely something Tsuna did not want to do but if he wanted to cope with his new found sexuality, he had to.

"Ugh…"

The brunette gazed at the attire laid atop his bed and shuddered in fright. He groaned loudly as he stripped out of his pants, just leaving his boxers on and undid his tie in the process, tossing it to the floor.

Sighing, he reached a hand over to one of the garments on the bed and grabbed it. He unzipped what was a mini-skirt and lowered it down to the floor. Slipping both feet through the hole, Tsuna pulled the skirt up to his waist.

There was one piece left to his attire and that was the red bow tie that the girls' uniform had. Yes, he was wearing Namimori's female uniform and he wasn't proud of it.

He finished it with knee high black socks and his normal dress shoes he wore to school. Next, he checked himself in the mirror and made sure he could pass off as a girl. Strangely, he sort of did but it was obvious that he was Tsuna.

"This is not working…"

Why was Tsuna even dressed in female clothes in the first place? His main goal: boy's love manga.

Tsuna thought that if he was, he didn't want to admit that he is, you know what, that he might as well study up on it. What better to use than boy's love material. Of course, usually only females like that kind of stuff. Being a boy, he felt too embarrassed to buy it on his own so he figured that going as a girl would be better.

However, he was sort of regretting it now because this was way more embarrassing than him being a boy and buying BL.

I hope no one notices me.

Tsuna prayed repeatedly in his heart that no one he knew would see him. The bookstore was a little far away from his house and it was in the shopping district. Luckily, it was at the beginning of the district so he didn't have to walk too far in.

Why are there so many?

Flabbergasted at the long row filled with absolutely nothing but boy's love manga, Tsuna couldn't even move an inch from the spot he was standing at. All he could do was stare.

And he continued to stare.

And stare.

Until he heard giggling from around him.

Snapping out his thoughts, he shook his head and slowly, eyed the group of girls standing a little far away from him, just down the row.

Blushing from his cheeks down to his neck, he lowered his face, chin close to his chest and proceeded in choosing a few material to 'study.'

Tsuna wasn't exactly sure what to pick because there were way too many titles for him to look at. So, he started at the beginning of the alphabet and pulled out about five different series. He only examined the cover, read the summary on the back and if it sounded good enough to him, he was going to buy it. He couldn't look inside even if he wanted to because the book was wrapped.

So, the brunette ended up with ten different manga, well, some were two volumes long. A quiet sigh left his pink lips, glad that the first task was over. However, that wasn't the tough part. He still had to pay for them.

Ugh…

Tsuna was crying in his heart, nervous. So nervous that he couldn't stop tapping his feet.

Up and down. Up and down.

His body shaking as he sped up.

But he stopped when a lady questioned him.

His face only turned a darker shade of red. Embarrassed, he bowed his head apologetically and faced forward. Scanning the line ahead of him, there were about four more people and it would be his turn.

As he tried to calm down by staring at the ground, watching his feet rock back and forth, he heard laughing from behind. Not just any normal laughing, this was a little creepy and odd.

"Kufufufu…"

It sounded mysterious.

No…dangerous is more like it.

Some odd reason, Tsuna became intrigued at what sort of face this person had. But, being too shy and self-conscious, he didn't look back and kept his head lowered.

"That is quite a lot of manga you have there."

W-Was he talking to me?

Tsuna stayed quiet.

"Hey."

He heard that same stranger speak again.

Scanning his eyes around him, slowly, Tsuna lifted his head up and rolled his eyes to the corner to look at the person behind him.

"E-Eh…U-Um…me?" Tsuna murmured.

"Yes you. Who else am I talking to?"

Gazing at the boy, Tsuna was mesmerized.

Captivated, he couldn't answer.

"Kufufufu….you're cute." The boy commented.

And Tsuna blushed, turning into a ripe tomato.

"Next!"

It was his turn.

Tsuna hurriedly scurried off to the cash register without looking back. His heart was beating so fast and he couldn't calm down. Face was burning and he knew that he was probably extremely red.

The lady standing behind the counter scanned the book as if nothing was wrong and placed the items into a shopping bag. She totaled up the amount and asked the brunette for the cash. Tsuna willing handed her the amount and purchased his items.

He grabbed the bag and ran out the door.

Oh my god…

Tsuna didn't get very far and ended up stopping in a neighborhood somewhere near Namimori middle school.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Deep breath.

Why was he getting so nervous?

Was it because of that boy he met at the bookstore? Most likely. He was just breathtakingly gorgeous and Tsuna felt like his heart had been stolen.

But it could have just been a spur of the moment. So he tried to remain calm and regain his normal state of mind.

Just keep breathing. T-That was nothing.

The brunette was crouched down next to a wall, his bag of books in his lap and hugging it tightly as he tried to think straight. Face lowered, his soft brown hair covered the side of his face and he looked like a damsel in distressed.

He totally forgot about the fact that he was dressed in a skirt. His mind was so preoccupied that he didn't feel the presence of someone approaching him.

"Hey, you."

This voice…

It sounded awfully familiar.

Deep. Sexy…kind of cold.

"Hey."

Wait…THIS?

"You. Are you ok?"

This voice belonged to no one other than…

Hibari Kyoya. Namimori's Disciplinary Committee head.

Why was he here?

When Tsuna finally came around and looked at his surroundings, he mumbled an 'oh.' He was within the school's area so of course, Hibari would be around the place, patrolling the area is what he guessed the boy was doing.

"I-I'm fine!" Tsuna stuttered.

"Are you sure?"

A hand reached out towards his face, almost touching him. But Tsuna immediately swat it away. "I-I'm ok! Sorry to bother you!"

Standing up to his feet, the brunette ran away, yet again, and this time, dashed straight home without any pit stops. Thankfully, his mother was still out and she didn't catch him in a skirt.

He slammed the door shut when he finally reached his room and fell to the ground. The bag in his hands dropped to the floor and tipped over, the books flying around on his carpet.

Tsuna was in a mess. Right after he had regained his composure from his little exchange with the stranger at the bookstore, he runs into Hibari Kyoya.

Hibari Kyoya of all people.

So, why did this bug him?

Because Tsuna had a tiny crush on Hibari. Just a little. This was the main reason that made him actually want to study up on his sexuality by buying BL manga.

Of course, Hibari was quiet and aloof, but Tsuna just found him intriguing. However, he was just basing this information all off from seeing the prefect. It's not as if he's actually had a conversation with Hibari.

In fact, today was the first time they exchanged words.

I was dressed as a girl. This sucks. I hoped he didn't see my face.

Sighing loudly, Tsuna stared at the mess in front of him and started picking up the books before anyone saw it.

Too late.

"Wow, so you read this?"

"Hiee!"

Startled, Tsuna jumped and the books fell out of his hands and back onto the floor. Staring at the figure to his side, he sighed. It was Reborn, his tutor.

"R-Reborn…this…" he tried to think of an excuse but found it hard to explain.

He was wearing a skirt and there were BL manga scattered around his room. What more could he say about it? Nothing.

"Wearing boxers? That's not very sexy."

Reborn poked fun at his student as he lifted up the boy's skirt to reveal pink boxers- an item his mom picked out. Well, most of his undergarments were his mom's choices.

"W-Wah! Reborn! What are you doing?"

Tsuna grabbed the hem of his skirt and pulled it down to hide his boxers.

This was so not cool.

Today was just not going too well for him. Tomorrow could be worse.
