Bound - Part One, D27

It wasn't as if he had wanted this, but deep down he did feel somewhat happy. He sighed and his musings were temporarily interrupted by another man, about seven years younger than himself. He shook his head to try to get rid of the blonde locks covering his face, and then reconsidered their happy yet troublesome predicament.

The weather had been of a punishing heat for the whole day. There had been no reason for it to change so suddenly. The torrent of rain poured on the two men, who were, due to some awful twist of fate, handcuffed together. Their hair was mopped to their faces, and their clothes were pretty damn see-through… Which was a great thing for the older one who sneaked perverted glances down at the other. Caught in his own thoughts again, he failed to hear the younger man call his name.

"Dino-san!"

He wished that there was a way to somehow get rid of the thing binding them physically, but at the same time, bind himself to the other through feelings. He nodded, too absorbed in his plans. He reflected on how he had gotten into such an agreeable situation in the first place.

Being the well-loved English teacher of Namimori had its benefits. He could go up to the rooftop and chase his students down from there, and then enjoy the pleasure of bathing in the sun. However, it had been especially hot, so he had considered just sitting in the shade to have lunch with his adorable little brother, Tsuna.

Knowing well that the roof was the territory of the vicious Hibari Kyoya, he decided to check the area before bringing Tsuna up. That had been a good idea, except that Tsuna hadn't gotten the memo. So they both went up the stairs leading to the roof. Much to the teacher's dismay, he had tripped in the corridor before opening the door and it had resulted in a large bang. His forehead was still red.

Hibari awoke from his light nap and growled at them both for such an unruly disturbance. He punished them both by handcuffing them together to the roof's outer fencing. Lovely. The prefect then left them there, teacher and student, attached to each other. He probably didn't plan to come back to release them. Ever. What he did, though, was nicely place the key to the cuffs three meters away from the pair, slightly too out of reach.

They knew that their attempts to get the key were futile, so they opted to break it off. The problem was that without his subordinates around, the teacher, Dino, would be extremely incapable. Thus, with his free hand, he snagged his phone out of his pocked and called his right-hand man, Romario, to come help them. As Dino was awfully clumsy, he dropped his phone from the roof during mid-call and it shattered into tiny pieces on the ground floor.

Tsuna had reassured him and said that sooner or later, his right-hand man would get worried and look for him. Dino miserably agreed as he didn't like the prospect of that right-hand man, Gokudera, getting so close to his cute little brother. Their stomachs rumbled and there was absolutely nothing they could to do to satiate their hunger.

And the day had been especially hot. Sweat poured down their bodies as they were exposed to the sun and its wilful rays of light. As if on cue, thunder erupted from a distance and a sudden downpour showered the two unlucky men. The sun started to fade away as if its job was over for the day. They stood for a long while before the sky darkened even more, and the rain got heavier. Tsuna sneezed.

Dino was only enjoying the sight of the wet boy while also worrying for his health. He was a twisted man, but no one knew that. He hid it well behind his clumsiness. Now the question was: what was it that attracted him to this said boy? He did not know it himself. Maybe it was just material attachment. He did not know or care. What he knew for sure was that if he hadn't been cuffed, and solely the boy was, he would go on ravishing his body. He closed his eyes in shame and imagined taking a bath with him once the whole ordeal was over.

Maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea after all, seeing as Dino was overly sensitive to suggestive situations. He pursed his lips and sighed once more, before he was finally interrupted by the boy's repetitive calling of his name. How he loved that voice… His thoughts could ramble on forever, but he decided to finally cut the thread to his naughty reveries and pay attention to the subject of affection right in front of him. So attainable…

"Dino-san!" Tsuna was getting impatient now, because he had been saying that for the last few minutes. He kicked him in the shin gently.

"Y-yes, I'm paying attention now!" He stuttered. "W-what is it?"

"Can't you reach the key?" True, it was at an equal distance between the both of them, but it was impossible either way. He thought that they had established that fact. Dino strained his body forwards to demonstrate, and in return, his left wrist became bruised by the cuffs. "S-sorry. That must hurt."

"It's nothing." He tried to act cool, but really, he wished he could just kiss the boy already. "I'm sure someone will come up soon."

"What time is it?"

Dino glanced at his watch, which was turned the wrong way on his cuffed hand. He turned it around with his free one. "Twelve forty. Lunchtime is almost over."

"Surely someone will realize we've disappeared. Come on, Gokudera-kun, I'm counting on you."

Twitching at the mention of another man's name while they were secluded, he stayed quiet. Tsuna sneezed again. The rain wasn't going to stop any time soon, it seemed, and Dino wouldn't get the boy to bed with him any time in the near future either. He sighed for the third time at these grim prospects and earned a curious look from Tsuna.

"Is there something wrong apart from our current situation, Dino-san?"

"Nothing's worse than this right now."

"Except for the fact that our battle watches could ring at any time, causing the enemy to close in on us and destroy them really easily?"

"I hadn't thought that far, but I guess you're right." Now that was a grim prospect. Dino looked at their watches, still intact. They were pretty useful in their own way, once you had figured out how to make them show the actual time of the day.

He wondered whether he should drop the bomb now that they were alone. There would be no other chance like this, he thought, as long as the watches were still on their wrists. Confessing under the rain was something he'd always wanted to do. He took a deep breath before noticing that the boy's face had paled considerably.

"Are you all right?" Concern was written all over his face as he began to panic.

"I hope so," he responded weakly.

Silently, he brought Tsuna closer to his body. They were both sticky and wet, but Dino welcomed the now dwindling body heat. He hoped that someone would come up soon. He rubbed the younger man's back and unconsciously kissed his forehead, whispering that it would be okay.

Tsuna, a bit dazed, did not react to other older man's actions. He wrapped his shivering free arm around him for a short while, taking it back, and then sneaked it in under Dino's shirt and felt his skin directly. It was warm and he loved the feeling.

Meanwhile, Dino was becoming more and more flustered by their situation. What was he supposed to do? Hold back? He squeezed his eyes shut and counted the prime numbers as the rain continued to torture them. He was only at 53 when Tsuna started to rest his head on his chest. His heart beat considerably faster now. He was afraid that the boy would notice. With his free hand, he ruffled the boy's brown mane. Slowly, his hand made its way down to Tsuna's cheek, which was frigid.

"Do you mind?" Dino asked a bit nervously.

"What?"

"Sorry."

He shoved his hand rather suddenly under the boy's shirt and started fondling him. This had been the best situation bestowed upon him! He could claim that he was merely stimulating heat and not doing something inappropriate. He worked on Tsuna's smooth back first, before making his way to the front. He reached to the boy's chest and casually ghosted his hands over his nipples, causing some shudders.

He now officially considered himself a pervert (as if he hadn't been before). He didn't wish for the rain to stop anymore. He didn't want to be rescued anymore. He just wanted to ravage the body right in front of him. Damn those handcuffs!

Carefully, he withdrew his hand and held Tsuna's chin up to face him. His face was devoid of color, but Dino still thought that he looked pretty adorable. He made his decision as he knew that another chance like this wouldn't come up so easily, and reached down to kiss the younger male full on the lips.

"Your breath is really warm." Tsuna simply said without considering what had actually happened.

"Really? You know what else is warm?" He teased, grinning. "My tongue is really warm. And so are my pants." Especially the crotch area, he noted.

"That's nice," Tsuna replied faintly. Without thinking, he started unbuckling Dino's belt and pulling it off.

"Wait a sec!" My body isn't ready! he screamed inwardly.

Suddenly, there was a spark of enlightenment in Tsuna. "The belt buckle!" he exclaimed as energetically as he could. "Use it to smash the cuffs!"

"Whoa, good idea!" Dino secretly pouted. A wasted opportunity.

He pulled his belt off with Tsuna's help, and started hitting the chain binding them. Finally, they shattered, and they both stumbled down on the ground, exhausted by the whole thing. Dino got the key and finally removed the cuffs from their wrists. He held Tsuna's arm gently and passed his tongue over the red marks on his skin.

"Warm, right?" He smiled before carrying the weak thing down the stairs as carefully as he could.

He took their clothes off and hung them somewhere in the infirmary before wiping both their bodies dry without a second glance. Self-control, Dino, self-control! He screamed inside to himself. He shook his hair to get rid of the drops of moisture still clinging to it and slapped his face. His mind now slightly clearer, he tucked the naked boy in under the sheets of a nearby bed and closed the curtains.

"Dino-san," Tsuna whispered right after. "Can you come here for a second?"

He cocked his head to the side and tugged the curtains apart, a bit hopeful. He heard small noises from Tsuna, so he bent his head down closer to hear them better. Unexpectedly, Tsuna placed a shy kiss on his cheek, thanked him weakly, and fell asleep.

Dino's heart had stopped for a moment, he imagined, as he returned the favor by, once making sure that his love interest was asleep, bending down to touch his lips with his. Overall, this had been a good day.

The bell rang. It signalled that he should return to the teacher's office, and first and foremost, get dressed. Thankfully, he didn't have a class. He decided against the whole thing and wrapped himself up in a few towels and fell asleep sitting by Tsuna's bedside.

Epilogue

Hibari sat in the Disciplinary Committee room, sorting out papers. He had wondered whether the two had gotten out of their predicament. It was unlikely. They were both too stupid to. He got up and decided to take a trip to the infirmary where he could continue his well-deserved nap.

When he stumbled in, he noticed that the curtains around one bed weren't closed. Curious as to why, he walked in close to see two idiots sleeping naked. He twitched a bit before closing the curtains. He heard a yawn from behind.

"Is that you, Kyoya?"

He froze. "What is it you want?"

"Skipping class? You're such a bad boy."

"And the herbivore?"

"He's all right. Thanks, by the way." There was a short pause. "Next time, could you just exclusively cuff Tsuna?"

"Why?"

"Because of reasons."

"I will not permit teacher-student relations."

"Well then, I'll wait."

Hibari didn't want to sleep anymore. He would have to try the method of cuffing himself and the herbivore together. Or maybe he would just cuff the Bucking Horse somewhere while he watched Hibari have his way with Tsuna. He grinned evilly and stalked away.

Part one completed, second part is 1827. I really like this love triangle.
