Summary: A study of Hibari; and perhaps, an unrealised change within himself.


.

Boy on the skin; beast in his bones. Hibari Kyoya. Neither part could exist without the other; so he became both simultaneously even before he discarded his toys.

And no animal with pride would enjoy feeling caged or bound. It left oneself too vulnerable; too prone to attacks; limiting the radius in which tooth and claw could defend. In the event where all the worst possibilities aggregated, death was a surety.

Perhaps that was how the terror of Namimori arrived at his apparent emotional blankness: His dislike and wariness for the slightest suggestion of constriction had digested all else. Compared to his need to be free, any remnant of an ability to feel attachment was immaterial.

Thus it was predetermined; that he could and would never be tied down by the farce the weaklings worshipped as love.

What he had overlooked was that whenever he wished the sun-haired sometimes-herbivore would just learn to give up, his agitation and the things it said (what he wouldn't say) gave his pursuer every reason to hope.
