A/N:This is just a short Drabble that was just a spur of the moment thing, I hope you enjoy reading it!

It would be so easy to tumble over the edge. A hundred and eighty degrees met him, kissing his feet almost in reverence. Again, so easy to fall over. The world would watch from below his gaze, anticipating when he would fall into gravity's arms. Ribbons of air curled around his face in a loving gesture, replacing the absent tender touch of a living being. But the sky was with him and ready to greet it's lost child. Again it would be so easy collapse. Against the expanse of cerulean blue, against the sweeping clouds. To fly would be heavenly. A release. An expanse he only explored under the adrenaline rush of flame induced rationality. His flames were not a simple toy, a novelty that he could childishly pass the time with. Thus could anyone blame him for admiring it? The lack of rationality, the freedom that flying could bring, even if it was only for a few seconds. A few seconds of absolute release and ecstasy. Tempting. So tempting. So extremely tempting that he could feel his feet shuffle over the edge a few inches more. His gaze strictly remained upwards, towards the kindred spirits that lingered in his heart and behind his flames.
"Herbivore." Violently spinning his head to meet the voice, the brunet felt the gnawing chill of metal under his palms. He curled them tighter into a vice grip.
"Herbivore, quickly climb back over the railing. Otherwise I will drag you over and bite you to death." Hibari coldly said as he quickly marched to his side, two metallic tonfa acting as guarantee to his threat.
"I didn't know you cared." Enma had once told him that he had never wished to become a bird. Because if you were a bird, there would always come a day when that bird would have to fall... And never get up.
When the disciplinary leader came within distance, he had immediately grabbed for the collar of his shirt whilst in the process unconsciously choking the lithe brunet. He didn't pay him much mind, his gaze latching onto the sky.
"You're not of much a fight if you are dead, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Hibari's words must have broken some sort of hypnotic thought, he would later contemplate, as he closed his eyes and with delicate ease (that did not come without the spartan tort-tutoring from his "tutor" Reborn) jumped over the railing.
Rationality gave way to imagination as he could not but feel as if a great divide now separated him and the sky and again found himself looking upwards.
"Humans are not meant to be birds Tsunayoshi." He didn't need to be a bird though, he thought, he just wanted- no needed to fly. And it's was what always turned his gaze skywards, climbing to the roof of every building in his free time since he had unlocked his flames as to sate the urges.
"Will you keep it secret?" A single nod was given to his words. Hibari had waited till he had passed him before moving, silently acting as his shadow as he started to make the trip home.
He wondered if it was the cloud's job to make sure the sky never got lost?
