Summary: Tsuna arrives at school only to find a certain list posted on the bulletin board, only to find his name among others that are to be paired together. Inspired by Oujo ha Rippa's The List (a G27 story) I simply couldn't resist writing a 182769 story, the idea is similar yet very different.

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone or anything, the idea is mine though.


Thanks to WhiteAngel128 for betaing this for me, you were a great help.


On the way to class, Tsuna stops to read the announcement that's been posted on the bulletin board. 'I can't believe it, am I reading that right?!' He thinks while staring at the paper.

No, he has not received a 100% on his last test. No, this is something way more surprising and embarrassing: it's the new matchmaking love list.

No one knows who writes the list or why they do it, but one thing is for sure: it's normally right, which leads him back to his problem. Not only is his name on the list, but the thing that surprises him even more is who he's paired up with, Hibari Kyoya and Rokudo Mukuro.

'Maybe the person who made the list this time was off his medication. I'm more than certain that once Hibari-san sees the list, he's going to bite me to death and not in a nice way!' Tsuna thinks, not liking the idea at all. It's not that he has anything against the prefect, it's just that he's kind of hard to approach. It's a well-known fact that the prefect likes his solitude. 'On the other hand, I don't even know who this Mukuro person is!'

"Herbivore."

Tsuna freezes in place at the mere sound of the voice that belongs to the Disciplinary Committee head.

"Herbivore."

Tsuna ever so slowly turns to face him. "H-Hibari-san…" The brunet can't help but stutter and shake in fear. One would think that he was some kind of scared rabbit at the mercy of the big bad wolf.

There's a minute silence, in which the skylark stands there staring at him. "Herbivore, you're going to be late to class." He states before turning and walking away.

'That's odd, usually he would threaten to bite me to death,' the brunet looks up at the clock on the school. 'Crap!' He starts running to his first class, which of course is on the main floor at the far end of the hall.

He walks into the room and takes his seat and the teacher walks in a couple of minutes later. "Good morning, class."

'Now that I look at him, his resemblance to Hibari-san is amazing, (Can you guess who his teacher is?)' Tsuna muses, then sighs. 'Why, oh why was I paired up with Hibari-san anyway?! Is this some person's sick kind of joke?!' Tsuna can't help but feel like someone has been watching him every couple of minutes. He casually looks around the room, only to see that everyone is busy looking at their textbooks while his remains unopened on his desk. 'How long have I been staring off into space?' He starts flipping the pages, a small piece of paper lands on his book with 'page 116' written on it. It's easy for him to tell that it's been written by Fon-sensei.

The class has gone by so fast that he couldn't believe that an hour and half has already gone by.

"We'll stop there for today. For homework, I want you all to read the next six pages." States Fon-sensei while closing his books.

Tsuna can't help but like Fon-sensei. He always takes it easy on them when it comes to homework, which only makes him enjoy history class even more. 'I wish my other teachers were like him.' After gathering his things, he makes his way towards the door with his other classmates.

"Sawada, is there something bothering you?" Asks Fon-sensei, just as he is walking past him.

"It's nothing, Sensei, it's just something foolish. I'm sorry about not paying attention in class."

"If you say so, if you need to talk to someone about it. Don't hesitate to come and see me, I'll do what I can to help."

He doubts even Fon-sensei can do anything about his problem. And knowing him, the teacher might just smile and says 'that's great'. "I'll remember that." Tsuna replies politely and leaves the room with a smile and walks down the hall to the stairs, going up a flight to his next class.

As he walks down the hall, he feels a chill run down his spine and it's hard to miss the sight of the other students quivering in fear while trying to walk as fast as they can to their next class, which can only mean that he's in the presence of Hibari-san. The brunet can feel someone breathing down on his neck, which can only mean that he's standing right behind him.

"Herbivore." The skylark says by the brunet's ear, which only causes him to turn red.

Said brunet tilts his head down to hide his red face from those that are looking and from the prefect as well. "H-Hai, Hibari-san?"

"Herbivore, you should face people when they're talking to you."

The brunet slowly turns around, but keeps his face lowered so that the skylark can't see his face. The latter starts to feel annoyed by the antics of the small bunny, but then again, it's these antics that draw himself to the brunet in the first place. The skylark places his hand under the teen's chin and raises it so that he can see his face. The brunet can easily see the smirk move across Hibari's lips, which only causes him to shiver. With the little distance between them, the brunet starts turning an even darker red, if that's even possible.

'Mine. This herbivore is all mine,' I can't help but stare into those honey brown eyes, before moving down to that cute nose and delicious looking set of lips. 'Oh how I want to have a taste.' I notice the questioning look on his face, and that's when I realize that I've been staring at him this whole time without actually saying anything. I let him go. I want to say something to him as well, but my mouth won't open nor can I think of what it is that I want to say. So I do the only thing my mind seems to be thinking and that is to simply walk away.

'I can feel his breath on my face and I'm certain that he can feel mine as well,' after a moment of standing in that spot with the skylark staring at him, Hibari lets him go and walks back down the hall the way he had come from. The brunet stands there, stunned for a few moments. 'What was that all about?' He waits for his heartbeat and breathing to return to normal before making his way to the classroom, praying that he would have stopped blushing by the time he gets there.

Upon his arrival, Tsuna discovers that the teacher hasn't arrived yet. He lets out his breath that he doesn't know when he has started holding.

"Yo, Tsuna!"

"Ohaiyou, Juudaime!"

"Ohaiyou, Yamamoto, Gokudera-kun," Tsuna takes his seat between them, for some odd reason they have insisted having him between them. "Gokudera-kun, could you please stop calling me Juudaime?"

"No," the silveret states in his most serious of voices. "After all, you're the tenth person to save my life!"

"Tsuna, did you do your homework last night?" Asks Yamamoto.

"Yeah." He gives his friend a smile and adds silently, 'Only because I was threatened with some kind of crazy tortures.'

All of a sudden, something smacks the top of his head hard. "Itai, itai!"

"Dame-Tsuna, shall we start your training after school today?" Says the person who has smacked him as a demonic smirk appears on his lips.

The brunet looks up at the very spawn of Satan, aka his teacher, Reborn-sensei. He is also a close friend of his father; to the point where he even lives with the brunet and his mother. Tsuna can feel the dark aura being emitted from him and mutters, "Gomen, Sensei." He watches as the fedora-wearing man walks away while keeping the smirk on his lips. One can practically hear some of the girls swoon at the sight of their teacher.

Reborn-sensei doesn't waste any time in starting class, then again, he never has been one to waste a single moment to teach (read: torture) the brunet whenever he needs help. Tsuna has learnt through more than enough times that if he feels like he's wasting his time teaching someone, he'll go completely Spartan on said person. The brunet, of course, is his favorite target (toy) of such treatments and there has never been any warning before he does it either.

Luckily enough, the two hours of class goes by quickly enough and no one has been subjugated to Reborn-sensei's Spartan ways. The brunet wastes no time in gathering his books, there is no way he hasn't noticed Reborn's smirk that says 'something amusing is going to happen', which always means trouble for others, especially Tsuna, who shivers as he quickly walks out of the room.

Throughout the rest of the classes, Tsuna can't help but worry about what could cause Reborn to wear that devilish smirk and the only thing that he can think of is the list that has been posted on the bulletin board. Once the thought of the list has entered his mind once again, it is all he is able to think about.

After school, Tsuna walks home with Yamamoto and Gokudera like usual.

"We'll part here, Tsuna." States Yamamoto.

"Okay."

"What are you talking about, baseball idiot? We have to make sure that Juudaime gets home safely!"

"But Haya-chan, we have a date, remember?"

"What are you talking about?! I don't remember agreeing to that!" Gokudera snaps, despite the shade of pink on his cheeks.

"Hahaha...you agreed the last time you came over to my place," replies Yamamoto, before cheerfully leading (dragging) his boyfriend down the next street.

After watching the two of them walk off, Tsuna continues the rest of the way home. It doesn't take long for his mind to think back to the list and all the couples that have appeared on the list in the past. Despite what some of them have thought in the beginning, they always end up together in the end anyway. Gokudera and Yamamoto are examples of such situation. It has taken almost a complete month before Yamamoto was able to convince the silveret to go out with him, and even then he needed Tsuna's help to convince him.

Other couples have been more than overjoyed with who they were joined with, such as Sasagawa Kyoko and Mochida-sempai, it gave Mochida-sempai a reason to talk to Kyoko-chan. Not a week later, the two of them have started going out.

So the list has a record of making happy couples, but still, him and Hibari and an unknown person. There's just so many things wrong with that idea. Too lost in thoughts, the brunet hasn't noticed it until he has bumped into someone. "Gomenasai…" He glances up, only to stare into a pair of mismatched eyes. 'One of his eyes is red and the other is blue…and his hair looks like a pineapple.'

"Kufufu...are you alright, cutie?"

"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

"When apologizing you should tell the person your name."

"Ah, gomen...I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, you can call me Tsuna."

"Kufufufu...I'm Rukudo Mukuro."

"I'm very sorry for bumping into you, Mukuro."

"You should watch where you're going, my adorable Tsunayoshi."

'Adorable?' The brunet instantly starts blushing and realizes that this is the other person he has been paired with on the list.

Mukuro moves a couple of strands of hair away from the brunet's face and chuckles at the cute reaction. His actions only add to Tsuna's embarrassment, causing him to blush even more. The younger teen certainly seems interesting, and him being cute is definitely a bonus.

Suddenly, as Tsuna starts to back away from the probably perverted stranger, the temperature seems to have drop by several degrees. A few steps away from him is the one person he has least expected to run into, Hibari, who seems to be rather angry about something, unlike how he has acted all day. Accompanied by his small yellow bird, that is named Hibird.

"Kufufufu..." Mukuro only laughs smugly at the newcomer, unfazed by the death glare he is receiving while Tsuna looks horrified.

"Kamikorosu!"

Here he is, trapped between the two dangerous people that he's supposed to end up with and both seem to hate each other very much and are really angry about something. And so, that marks the beginning of years of being in stuck in a messy and destructive love triangle for Tsuna, who honestly just wanted a normal life. He swears that when he finds out who is responsible for creating the matchmaking list, he's going to give them a piece of his mind.
