Kleptomania

A/N: This is my first ever fanfic, and I'm really nervous (gulps). I was inspired to write this fic based on a song by Sugarfree titled "Kleptomania". For better reading pleasure, try to listen to the song first. I'm not really sure if the translation from Italian to English was correct (I googled it).

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, the band Sugarfree and their wonderful song. I don't know if I'll get in trouble by using the whole song in this story, but please don't sue me!:(

.Play.

No matter how many times Tsuna watches the music video of one of the hottest band currently invading the international scene, he never gets tired of it. The band named "Illusion". Truly, this group could create songs that hit the charts (thanks to their highly talented members), but this is not the main reason that the Tenth Vongola boss became a huge fan. It is because of their lead vocalist with a heterogeneous eyes and weird pineapple like hairstyle. Despite of his peculiarity, surprisingly this had only added to the charms of the said singer, earning him millions of fans and stealing the heart of a certain sky.

"Mukuro…." Tsuna whispered, followed by a deep sigh as he watched the video nearing its end. He knows he was being silly.

Already 24 years old but still acting like a high school kid admiring his fave band. These past few years, he had grown to be an excellent mafia boss. Being able to lead Vongola like it was during the time of Primo, this was achieved mainly because of the hard work he and his guardians had made. And now, with a less violent era, Mukuro was able to have a "sideline" by being a vocalist. Of course, Vongola remains to be his top priority.

Priority. How he wished he, Tsuna, was at the receiving end rather than the "Vongola". But the way things are (not to mention the competition among the crazed fans of his mist guardian), vying for the heart of this man will be very difficult. And besides, Tsuna can't really blame them from falling in love with the dashing vocalist. For behind that flamboyant and playful face that Mukoru displays, he knows a kind hearted man who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of his friend exists. A man who can empathize (which brought about Chrome). And this very man had helped them so much in changing the future that has nothing but a promise of sorrow.

Tsuna was awakened from his musing. He hurriedly closed the window in his PC playing the video of "Illusion".

"Come in!" the brunette called from his office. The door opened, revealing the very person he had been thinking just now. Rokudo Mukuro entered, dressed in black suit mafia was well known of. Long smooth blue hair swaying gracefully with each step, tall lean body exuding a dangerously sexy aura (thus Tsuna had to swallow hard and take a very deep breath to calm his rioting nerves). He held a folder on his right hand containing the report on his currently finished mission.

"Hello, Vongola! It has been a while since a saw you…." He handed over the folder, eyes scrutinizing the small mafia boss sitting behind the desk."…..you seemed to be looking well…"

Tsuna tried so hard not to blush and was able to reply with a stutter " T-thanks, but I guess not as better as you. Being a popular personality must have been enjoyable to you, isn't it?"

"Oya? Do I smell jealousy in here? Does it bother you that I am surrounded by affections of millions of people?"

"W-what are you talking about Mukuro! I-I'm not jealous! Yes I'm jealous dammit! And I really hate myself for feeling this selfishness, wanting your attention all to myself! In fact I am really happy that you have many fans that love you…" his voice trailed off, feeling a sudden clench in his heart. He quickly turns his swivel chair from Mukuro and faced the window located at the back of his desk to prevent the man from seeing something in his eyes that he should not see. After all, Tsuna was known for his expressive, wide eyes.

The Mist Guardian just stared at the back of his boss, silent for a while, then chuckled softly. "Kufufu, and, by any chance, were you perhaps one of those fans?" he teased/asked in that seductively silky voice of his. Tsuna could feel his heart bit growing frantic, a blush appearing on his face. Good thing the other could not see his face.

"Don't be so conceited, Rokudo Mukuro. I might like the music of your band but don't categorize me with those fans of yours. So please refrain from using that attitude and tone when talking to me. Use that when conversing in front of cameras or in public, I'm sure your fame will increase more." Tsuna replied in Boss mode. He needed to do this to hide, to create an illusion to cover the real contents of his heart, and prevent it from breaking.

Mukuro just laughed. "I'll try your advice, Tsunayoshi. Who knows, the person I like might fall for me because of this. If that happens, I have to thank you for it,"

Crack. "haha…guess it's too late, looks like my heart is already breaking.." Poor Tsuna said to himself, mustering all the strength he could not to let a single drop of tear escape his eyes. "That's good to hear, Mukuro!" he replied cheerfully and turned around to face the cause of his broken heart. "She must have been great to be able to steal your heart. I wonder what kind of person she is. I must congratulate her for taming someone like you".

"For taming someone like me? Ouch, Tsunayoshi, you made it sound like I'm a wild beast!" said Mukuro with a pout.

Tsuna painted a smile on his face (forcefully,that is) "Well, how about a little devil sound?" followed by a strained laughter after receiving a glare from the mist guardian. "Anyway, I need to resume my work, this mountain of paperwork just keeps coming, so if you will excuse me-."

"Hmmm…are you free tonight Tsunayoshi?" Mukuro suddenly cut in. "Our band was invited to perform at the beach this evening. You can go there and unwind after your work. The person I like might be there. Can you help me make a move to this person? I'm actually kind of nervous by myself," he gave a sheepish smile.

"O-Ok, I will go there. I don't know if I can be of help, but I'll do my best."

"Thanks a lot! You don't know how much it means to me. See you tonight!"

Now that the person he loved with all his heart was nowhere in sight, Tsuna allowed his suppressed tears to flow, his Boss façade crumbled. God, how it hurts…he knows it will only cause pain if he goes there tonight, but who is he to refuse Mukuro? He can't ignore those beautiful pleading eyes. Truth is, Tsuna had never gone to any concert of Mukuro's band. He had never seen the man perform live. Because it pains him badly that those words carried by the vocalist's voice was not meant for him alone, but for every one of his fans. How he wished he could just simply snatch that gorgeous man in the midst of his screaming fan, and have him all for himself. Tsuna unconsciously banged his head in his desk.

"Steal him! Snatch him!" these thoughts keep repeating in his head. "Wait, what am I thinking? This is not good! I don't want to be a…." what was that term again? Then he remembered "a….kleptomaniac…" Silently he cried, pouring out all the heartaches his unrequited love had caused.

It has been a while since Rokudo Mukuro exited the Tenths office, but he was still standing just outside the door, his head hung low with bangs shadowing the unfathomable expression in his mismatched eyes. "Tonight, I'll make sure to steal your heart…"he murmured, then slowly walked away.

The air around the beach is full of merriment. Numerous stalls where set-up, serving alcoholic beverages and food. The usual dark shores now full of lights. It was, after all, an annual battle of the band. People flocks the event not only to watch aspiring group made their way to stardom, but also to have a glimpse to invited famous bands who will be performing as a part of the event. Sawada Tsunayoshi never expected that this much people will be attending. Try as he might to go near at the stage, he simply can't.

"Hey! I heard that Illusion will be playing tonight as a surprise guest!" a certain male teen blurted out.

"Really! That's awesome! I'm glad I came here!" exclaimed another boy around his age.

"Kyaahhh! I can see Rokudo Mukuro in flesh and his wonderful eyes!" a girl said.

"Yes! Yes! Don't forget his sexy body too!" another one joined in. The two girls looked at each other and began to scream while jumping around.

"What do you think Mukuro would look like in a bed?"

"Hot, delicious, and perfect!"

"KYAHHHH!"

Tsuna's face becomes hot upon hearing the conversation of the two girls. Just like them, he had also fantasies for the famous vocalist. A lewd one. Feeling flushed, Tsuna decided to get a cool drink from one of the stall nearby. As he walked to buy his drink, he overhears more conversation about the band Illusion, with the main topic of girls about his mist guardian. That's why he never comes to their live performances. This chat of people reminds him again of the things that he loves about Mukuro. Because what they love about him is what also Tsuna loves. Everything, in the Vongola boss' case.

"Snatch him! Steal him! Take him away!" the impulsive thought on Tsuna's mind began to bug him again. Therefore he bought 2 bottles of the strongest beer around, gulping the first one in one go, and carrying the other one back to where he came from.

This earned a whistle from the stall vendor. "Whoa! A drinker, aren't we? Let me guess, suffering from a broken heart?"

Tsuna looked back. "No, from Kleptomania". He gave a hollow laugh before turning around, continuing his way back. The vendor was left to stare in confusion. It's a good thing he left Gokudera (with much convincing to the Storm guardian that he will be alright) and chose to go here alone. He cannot allow his right hand man to see his pathetic form. And he won't definitely allow him to be tainted by his depressing aura, seeing how Gokudera glowed when he and Yamamoto started going out. Suddenly, Tsuna felt a slight dizziness. He lost his balance and knows a fall is inevitable. Closing his eyes, he waits for his fall, but was halted by a pair of strong arms. Slowly opening his eyes, he was surprised when he saw his helper.

"Hibari-san? What are you doing here? I thought you hate crowding?" he said while composing himself to stand straight.

"Enforcing discipline", he curtly replied. "How about you Sawada Tsunayoshi? What are you doing in this kind of place, alone?"

"What am I doing? Ah! Right! I was invited by Mukuro to come here and he asked me to help him have a good start with the person he likes!" Tsuna explained with unnatural cheerfulness which Hibari finds disturbing. He noticed the flushed look on the brunettes' face, his tipsy behavior and the bottle of beer clutched in his right hand.

"Hn. Drunken herbivore, come with me" Hibari held Tsuna's left hand and pulled him, walking towards a slightly raised platform on the right side of the stage. Some people were standing there already. "Get away from there, herbivores. And don't dare to come near here again of I'll bite you to death", murderous aura surrounded Hibari, and the poor people fled as fast as possible. Tsuna can't help but sigh. From there, a good view of the stage can be seen, where a group of people were already performing a loud and lively song. "Stay here. Considering your height, you will be having trouble watching if you were in those crowd", The Cloud guardian said, eyeing distastefully the mass of people swaying like a fool to the beat of the music being played.

"Thank you, Hibari-san", Tsuna faced him, a wide smile on his face.

"Hn"

And without a word, Hibari left to resume his "disciplinary" duties. Tsuna continued to look at the back of the retreating man, still smiling. This man knows his feeling towards his mist guardian, having caught him in an embarrassing scene where he kisses Mukuro's face showing in the giant plasma TV on the living room. Hibari never made a comment about the incident, and surprisingly enough, seems to support him in his own way. Just like now. When he can no longer see Hibari, he turned around and put his attention on the stage.

"Yo! Mukuro! Watcha lookin' at?" the bubbly drummer of Illusion asked, curious upon seeing Mukuro looking (glaring) just beyond the right side of the stage.

"A sky lark and tuna fish", he replied darkly, then turned around to leave the drummer with a big question mark floating on his head.

"Oh, Mukuro, it's our turn after that last contestant. Have you decided which song we will play?" inquired their lead guitarist.

"Yes. Let them hear our new song." The blue haired vocalist answered with determination. The other member looked at him in surprise, and then a knowing smile formed in their faces, one thought on their mind. "So, the "special person" is present".

"Heya people! Are you ready for our next band?" the energetic and enthusiastic voice over asked the equally excited masses of people along the beach.

"YEAHHH!"

"Brace yourself to none other than…Illusion!" And the whole beach was filled with a fanatic roar, everyone in high when the members of the most awaited band made an appearance in stage. When Rokudo Mukuro came into view, a much louder uproar came to life (mostly from females). But one person was not able to even make a sound upon seeing the mist guardian. That is..the Tenth Vongola boss.

His voice was caught up on his throat upon seeing the drop dead gorgeous man on stage. Caramel colored eyes roam the body of the "little devil", wearing a gray shirt that hangs just near his navel. Black, skinny leather pants clad the vocalist's perfectly long legs, with the waistband dangerously low on his hips, making the brunette form inappropriate thoughts. To complete the over-all-effect, he had put on a trench coat which was left open in front, gracefully following the course of the blowing wind. Tsuna thought he had seen a dark angel descended upon the heavens, and for that, he was rendered speechless.

"Kufufu…how are you, everyone? Enjoying the night?" a deep, silky smooth voice filled the night air.

"Kyyaaahhh! Mukuro-samaaa! We love you!"

"Why, thank you, darling, kufufu" Mukuro suavely replies.

"Snatch him! Steal him!" the impulsive thoughts of Tsuna grow louder and louder every minute. He tightened his grip, noticing that he still had a bottle of beer on his hand.

"We will present to you our latest song which was not yet aired. Hope you like it, it's titled…"

Tsuna lifted the beer, ready to take it on one go (again)" I really need to see a doctor, I think I'm having a-"

"Kleptomania".
