If you think this is a late update check out another one of my fics, it hasn't been updated in at least a year. Oh and I don't plan on making this series that long only like 5-8 chapters.
Disclaimer: Well I don't think I own KHR but I wish I did...
+++Hibari+++
Hibari half walked half ran to Tsunayoshi's house and when he finally arrived he let out a sigh of relief. If something horrible had happened the lights in the house would be on...right?
Hibari thought that now he was at Tsunayoshi's he should at least properly check on Tsuna. That would be ok wouldn't it?
Hibari easily sailed over Tsuna's gate and was soon prowling around the garden trying to locating Tsuna's window in the darkness. After assuring himself that he had picked the right one Hibari skilfully scaled Tsuna's house, entered through the window and landed on Tsuna's floor quietly. Only to be confronted with a scene he did not expect.
Lying there with delicate, innocent, little Tsuna was Mukuro. Mukuro who has no right to touch what belongs to Hibari; even Hibari can't touch him himself.
"What are you doing here," Mukuro hissed venomously, fully awake.
"I could ask you the same question," Hibari replied viciously.
"No you can't you've already destroyed Tsuna. Even now, in his sleep Tsuna's crying," Mukuro said, wiping away the tears that streaked Tsuna's porcelain face.
"I...that wasn't supposed to happen," Hibari said, looking away from the endearing scene in front of him.
"But don't worry it worked out great for me, now thanks to you, me and Tsuna have started dating", Mukuro said with a dark smile.
To say Hibari exploded would be an understatement, Hibari was already actively creating the end of the world with his negative energy. "You have no right, I will not allow this, you'll hurt him!" Hibari whispered loudly, rousing Tsuna slightly.
"It doesn't matter what you say, the mist is the blanket that covers the sky, keeping it safe whilst separating it from the cloud it knows is there but cannot see."
"Though that mist can become suffocating. I may have hurt Tsuna but you will kill him, you'll destroy the sky!" Hibari said seriously.
"What you say makes no sense, I could never hurt the one I love like you. Go home Hibari you've lost him and now he's gone for good," Mukuro said, nuzzling Tsuna's neck.
"You think you've won some sick, little, twisted game you've got going on inside your head. You haven't. I know he won't be over me that quick and when you get jealous and do something you'll regret, I'll be there to pick up the pieces. It's harder to break something that's already been broken and by then there's no doubt in my mind that Tsuna will be ready for me", Hibari said with a smirk. "Have fun with your little 'game'; do tell me when it falls apart."
"I really do hate you...stay away from Tsuna," Mukuro threatened.
"I'll neither pursue him nor avoid him Mukuro. Good night and try and get your dirty hands off Tsuna you sick fuck," Hibari said, making his way to the window.
"Just leave, you paranoid freak," Mukuro said darkly, pulling Tsuna closer.
"I'll take my leave...for now," Hibari said, jumping out the window and disappearing into the cool, dark night.
"Mukuro?" Tsuna said sleepily, "I thought I heard voices, what happened?" Tsuna asked, his eyes still closed, unwilling to open.
"It was just an irritating bird, go back to sleep", Mukuro said, pulling the blanket up so it covered Tsuna's shoulders.
"Hmmm bird...what sort of bird would be up in the middle of the night...?"
"An annoying skylark", Mukuro replied.
"That's strange," Tsuna said with a yawn.
"Just go back to sleep Tsuna."
"Alright," Tsuna replied, already back on the road to dreaming.
When morning came Mukuro left and Tsuna was left with a cold, empty bed and a cold, empty heart. Tsuna just felt numb now. All the pain had gone away and left him with an empty feeling inside...he didn't know what to feel anymore.
Tsuna got dressed automatically and tried to sort himself out. He felt strange. Was it normal to not feel anything? Was it weird that Tsuna would rather be depressed than feel nothing? His current state felt wrong and chilled him to the bone.
Splashing water on his face Tsuna registered that his eyes were sore and puffy. That's what he got for crying so much.
Hoping that his eyes weren't as bad as they looked Tsuna dragged his feet down the stairs to the kitchen where Lambo, Reborn, Bianchi, Fuuta, I-pin and Reborn sat eating whilst mama prepared more food.
"Good morning Dame-Tsuna," Reborn said.
"Moring Reborn," Tsuna replied drearily, too tired to contradict his tutor.
Reborn simply cocked his eyebrows as Tsuna slid into his chair and proceeded to poke the eggs in front of him with his chopsticks.
"And why are you looking so unenergetic this glorious morning?" Reborn questioned lightly.
"I stayed up late last night," Tsuna replied flatly.
Tsuna subtly glanced up at the clock, "time to go," he announced, "bye everyone."
Several 'bye's' and 'see you later's 'could be heard as Tsuna slipped his brown shoes over his dark socks, picked up his bag and left the house.
When Tsuna had left the house Reborn turned to Bianchi. "Something is definitely wrong with that boy," Reborn reported.
"It's adolescence Reborn, anything and everything is wrong," Bianchi replied nonchalantly.
"Yes...but he didn't even eat, did you ever not eat when everything was wrong?" Reborn questioned.
"I ate because everything was wrong," Bianchi replied exasperated.
Reborn scoffed before saying, "you just don't understand men."
"And you don't understand a woman intuition. When I say everything is alright, everything is alright," Bianchi answered.
Everything was not alright. Tsuna could see Hibari through the disciplinary office's window and could not move a muscle. Tsuna was scared of going to school, he was scared of seeing Hibari wandering the halls and he was scared of a hearing a single syllable coming from the mouth of the man who had downright rejected him.
Suddenly an arm wrapped around Tsuna's shoulder from behind, "yo Tsuna."
Tsuna turned around, the almost tranquil numbness settling in again, the agitation from before dispersing.
"Good morning," Tsuna replied with a false smile on his lips.
A silver-haired boy came running up to the party of two yelling, "baseball-idiot, get your hands off of Juudaime!"
"Ok, calm down Gokudera," Yamamoto said cheerfully, removing his arm from Tsuna's shoulder.
All of a sudden the bell signalling the start of school rang and the three rushed to get to class. As they were running Tsuna took one last brief look at the disciplinary office where his large, chocolate eyes met with steely grey ones. But before Tsuna could even contemplate the sudden encounter he was pulled along by Yamamoto who yelled something about being late and having to hurry up.
The repetitive event that is lunch came around once again under circumstances that were not the norm. Tsuna wasn't pumped up for lunch, he wasn't hanging out for the end of the day when he could see Hibari and there certainly wasn't any feeling of enjoyment about the great weather and company.
"Tsuna, hey Tsuna," Yamamoto said.
"W-what?" Tsuna asked, his trance broken.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Yamamoto questioned.
"...I suddenly feeling kind of sick, I think I'm going to go to the bathroom," Tsuna said, something unexpectedly changing within him.
"I'll go with you!" Gokudera said firmly, rising up from the ground.
"N-no, just stay there, I'll go alone," Tsuna said, the sickening feeling of rejection rising up once again, attempting to push away the settling numbness.
Quickly running from the roof Tsuna found refuge in an abandoned classroom and closing his eyes he rest his stressed body against a desk. He shouldn't have come to school, it was stupid. Tsuna thought he was strong, he thought he could deal with it, he thought he was alright; he was lying to himself.
It was hard. Just seeing the prefect brought back memories he would rather forget and everything at school reminded him of happier times when Tsuna didn't see Hibari as a cruel, merciless man, times he wished he could return to.
Tsuna was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the door to the classroom slide open, he didn't hear the footsteps and it wasn't until arms wrapped around his torso that he was aware of the other person in the room.
"Gah!" Tsuna exclaimed, the sudden proximity with a person he could not identify making him at a loss for words.
"Hello Tsuna," a voice said in his ear.
"M-Mukuro!-?" Tsunayoshi exclaimed.
"Mmhm," Mukuro confirmed, letting go of Tsuna so he could shift from behind him.
"H-how did you even get in here?" Tsuna asked incredulously.
"Illusion's my dear," he said with a smile.
"Well y-you have to leave! Quickly before..." before Hibari finds you.
Tsuna's eyes glazed over once more and he was brought back to his own chaotic, whirlpool world where his thoughts and memories of a certain ebony haired man resided.
The green beast that is jealousy reared its ugly head and before Mukuro could stop himself he brought Tsuna into a forceful, dominating kiss. Tsuna would not think of him in Mukuro's presence.
Tsuna did the only logical thing he could think of in the current situation; Mukuro was not relenting despite Tsuna's struggling so the young Vongola decimo bit his new boyfriend.
When the two separated there was a red streak of crimson blood on Mukuro's lower lip and Tsuna's lips were sore and bruised. That was not what Tsuna thought his first kiss would be like.
"Mukuro, you're an idiot," Tsuna said, the waterworks starting.
"I...sorry," Mukuro said awkwardly, not wanting Tsuna to cry more than he already had.
Not waiting for him to reply Tsuna left Mukuro and actually head for the bathroom. Looking in the mirror he realized he was a mess.
His hair wasn't brushed properly, his eyes had gone red again and there were bags under his eyes. Deciding what the best cause of action would be Tsuna went to sickbay and signed himself in. He didn't want to talk to anyone and he really didn't feel like doing anything, sickbay would be perfect for that.
Closing his eyes, Tsuna snuggled into the sheets as the ticking of the clock lulled him into a hypnotic sleep. When he awoke the sickbay had turned a sickly orange colour and it registered in Tsuna's brain that it was late afternoon.
Remembering the last time he had been at school this late Tsuna rushed to the classroom to retrieve his bag as quickly as possible.
As Tsuna rounded the corner he realized he must have looked very panicked. If he was to encounter anyone they would no doubt question his pace and strained expression. Easing into a walk Tsuna tried to arrange himself. Calm, collected, not at all stressed out by his predicament.
Calm, collected, calm, collected, calm, collected...
Tsuna kept repeating this mantra till he reached his classroom. The door was slightly ajar so he peaked in to check if there was anyone else crazy enough to be at school this late (besides Hibari).
Scanning the classroom the brunet noticed something odd. Hibari was sitting in his seat. Hibari was sitting in his seat.
"Hey, Tsunayoshi-"Tsuna's eyes widened, how did Hibari even know he was there?
"-what's so great about that stupid pineapple? He's a complete idiot, isn't even here technically and...is stupid," Hibari mumbled to himself.
At this point Tsuna began to realize Hibari wasn't talking to him and started having an internal battle. Should he leave or stay? He did need his bag but...Hibari.
"I'm better than that dumb, herbivorous pineapple you should just hurry up and break up with him so I can date you."
Tsuna had to cover his mouth to stop himself from gasping loudly. What was Hibari saying!-? It went against everything he had said to Tsuna.
The love, the jealousy, the hurt, it was all evident in Hibari voice. Confusion spiralled around Tsuna's mind. The same man that had shot him down was now practically professing his love for him.
Thinking back on the conversation Tsuna contemplated something what if "if you have time to think about frivolous things like this then you have enough time to study, you are last in your year you know." wasn't Hibari straight up rejecting him? What if Hibari was trying to redirect his attention away from love rather than hurt him? Hibari was awkward at displaying his emotions...
While warping the situation to his liking a smile came across Tsuna's face.
He would wait, he would bide his time till Hibari was ready to go out with him. Soon enough he would break up with Mukuro and all would be as it should have been.
Everything would be alright.
Hahahaha Tsuna's gone all crazy boyfriend.
You know what? Whoever guesses what Tsuna's and Mukuro's relationship status will be next chapter and gets it correct will get a oneshot, KHR fic on whichever pairing they want :D
Oh and Happy Valentine's day everyone :)
