For an anon who kinda made the mistake of asking me for a fic.

I hope you know that I never forgot, anon. I was just lazy.

Hearts Over Cotton

He saw her often, always tripping and falling and being laughed at by her peers.

He thought that today was going to be the same.

Except, it wasn't.

Now Hibari wasn't the most judgmental of people. In fact, he saw all people as equals. Herbivores if you wanted a more defined term.

But even he would raise his eyebrows upon seeing the girl, Sawada Tsukuyo, running throughout the streets of Namimori, shouting her lungs out while wearing only underwear.

And even he would sport a look of confusion on his features when the girl heads towards him, her fingers pointed at him as she declares, "Hibari Kyoya, please go out with me!"

Most people would've freaked out if someone confessed to them in that way, but you're forgetting that you're dealing with Hibari Kyoya, nothing would freak this guy out.

"Your forehead is on fire," Hibari noted dully in response. "And you're breaking some major rules regarding public indecency."

The flames on the girl's forehead flickered out, leaving her blinking in confusion and then getting a look of absolute mortification upon seeing that she was in front of him, naked save for her underwear.

And as she ran away from him, Hibari thought that she looked great in that heart patterned panties of hers.

Frowning at that random thought, Hibari decided to let her go for now and went to beat up some thugs for no apparent reason.

He couldn't get over those panties.

He spent many years working alongside Sawada Tsukuyo, years that he watched her grow noticeably, both mentally and physically. Watched how she turned from being timid, lonely and unhappy to someone more confident, more happy and definitely not alone.

Watched how she grew more appealing yet still holding the same sense of normalcy she was known for.

He also watched as she became a better fighter, someone who could defeat many powerful people very easily.

And honestly, it excited him.

So did the idea of the panties.

Which was not the best idea to have while he was standing in front of her after she called him to her office.

There was awkward silence between them as he was silently pushing his herbivorous thoughts away, all while Tsukuyo looked as if she was trying to find a way she could start speaking with.

Finally though, she did, "Remember when I asked you to go out with me ten years ago?"

What? "I don't remember such thing," he answered, thoroughly surprised and confused.

"My forehead was on fire, I was shouting…" she tried again, chuckling nervously.

Did she mean that?

"I was kind of… uh… undresse- why are you making this difficult?"

"I'm not," Hibari answered simply, although the look of utter amusement on his face clearly proved otherwise.

"Well, I'm asking you-"

And then she was shot.

Hibari would've sensed an intruder a long time ago, but with the intruder being Reborn, he was excused… maybe.

"Hibari Kyoya," Tsukuyo said coolly, the dangerous calm aura of her Hyper mode appearing, "Go out with me."

"Please," she added with a smirk.

Hibari would've smirked back and told her to fight him first before he accepted… Instead, he looked at Reborn who said, "New bullet," before he disappeared.

He looked at Tsukuyo again, naked save for her underwear and just said, "Alright."

He guessed it was a fight he wasn't interested to win; he was too interested in her to deny really.

And if he liked the hearts, he absolutely loved the lace.

Later, he beat up an entire family for no apparent reason.

End.

Tell me that it's at least decent.
