Hello, I hope you all enjoy this. It's a recent idea I just got and I couldn't wait to write it.
*New author's note: Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait. I've been absent from writing for like 2 years, almost 3, but I'm back and have edited a couple of old stories and will continue to do so to all of them. Also if you have a prompt for this story, feel free to write it in the comment section. I'll take this time to announce that I created a Twitter profile under the same name, GirlinBlue2364, where I will say when the next chapters of all my stories are up including the ones in my Archive of Our Own and Watt Pad profile. I'll also be posting photos, announcing new stories and have a chance to speak to my readers so if you want to ask me anything about my stories, about me or just comment on something, you're more than welcome to do so via my Twitter account. So follow me and I'll be sure to follow you back. Thank you for your attention and for reading.*
Enjoy.
Chapter 1: The calm before the storm
I woke up lying flat on my stomach with Reborn pressed to my side and one arm thrown over my back. He was resting his elbow of the arm that wasn't thrown on me, on top of his pillow with a book in said hand, casually reading.
"You're awake." Reborn stated without taking his eyes from his book.
"Hmm, good morning." I greeted groggily.
"Morning. You sleep well I take it?" He said as he noticed I stretched like a cat while smiling in contentment.
"Hai and I take it you're comfortable?" I asked back.
"Why yes, I am." He said while smirking.
"I figured." He took a liking to this position for some reason. Normally I would just snuggle up with him during the night but when he wakes up before me, which is always, I sometimes roll over to my stomach when he gets up and I wake up to this every time that happens. Normally I'll get all flustered being so near to him, even though we have been a couple for 4 years, but since we moved in together when I was 19 and he was 20, I got used to his closeness. It's been a year since then and it gets easier to get accustomed to someone when you share living quarters. Even if you still think the person you call your boyfriend is way out of your league…
"I want to get up." I said.
"Too bad, I'm not moving."
"Reborn come on, seriously I need to go to the bathroom." I all but whined.
"Then it sucks to be you." He says as he flips the page.
"Pleaseeeeee…." The sound of someone sighing reaches my ear.
"Fine but I want compensation for this." He stated.
"Ok the- wait, what are you doing?" I asked him startled as he suddenly drops his book and flips me over with no effort whatsoever so now where face to face.
"I told you I want compensation for this and I want it now." He stated as a matter of fact.
Before I can utter I single word he bended down to claim my lips in a heated kiss. I felt my heart speed up and my breath catch but then my eyes closed, and I surrendered to the pleasure. After only seconds into the kiss, I could feel my body relax and melt into him completely. He dominated the kiss like usual.
After what seemed like an eternity of lip locking he finally pulled back. I opened my eyes, feeling kind of dazed, only to look straight into his dark ones and blush at our close proximity.
Reborn chuckled in amusement.
I quickly looked away until I felt his colossal but warm hand grab my chin and make me face him.
"Wh-what's so f-funny?" I asked in embarrassment as my face got even redder and hotter.
"You, you're just too cute and innocent even after all we have done." Reborn stated.
"S-shut up." I said while trying to glare at him but with the blushing and stuttering is redundant to say it was a failure.
He chuckled deeply again and then he gave me one last quick peck on the lips before rolling off me.
I took the opportunity to get out from underneath the covers and out of the bed to go to the bathroom. Now that I think about it, this was a terrible idea considering its freaking freezing in our bedroom but I really need to go. I went as fast as I possibly could, desperate to get back into the warm bed where a very warm Reborn laid. I don't know why but Reborn was always incredibly warm so I always curled up to him when I was cold to receive some of that heat he always seems to radiate like some kind of sun.
After I washed my hands and since I was already here, my teeth, I all but ran back into the bed where Reborn was leaning propped up against the pillows, while reading his book again. He sensed me coming back and already pulled back the sheets back and outstretched his left arm so I could curled up to him.
He knows me very well.
I gladly took the silent invitation; I jumped in bed, pulled the covers all the way up to my chin and curled up to Reborn happily while sighing in content as his heat warped me up again.
"What time is it?"
"It's seven; you can sleep another hour and then I'll wake you up to get ready. We have to leave before ten to make it in time." Reborn stated.
"Ok." I answered already yawning.
I felt his hand pet my caramel locks softly as I slowly drifted back to unconsciousness.
….
"Tsuna, wake up." I heard Reborn's voice calling me and a hand shaking my shoulder.
I opened my eyes to see Reborn already dressed in his suit with his fedora and Leon on top of said fedora.
I groaned; I wanted to keep sleeping.
"Five more minutes…" I said groggy from sleep.
"No, come on. Get up and get dress already we have to leave if we want to make it by night fall." Reborn said accompanied by another shake.
We were driving down to some town Reborn wanted to go to, to celebrate our five year anniversary together which is tomorrow. But Reborn wants to get there a day earlier since the drive only is eight hours, then comes the checking in into a pricy hotel and all that stuff. I really didn't want to do much for today since I just want to spend it with him but he insisted on making this occasion special (And he says he's not a romantic.) so were going to Asakusa town, which is just a few towns over from Namimori.
I already told my mom who was delighted, Yamamoto and Gokudera. Yamamoto was happy for me but Gokudera was sad that he wasn't going to see me for three days which is how long were staying in the hotel. Lambo was already informed and so was Ryohei who I told to let Kyoko-chan, Haru-chan and Chrome know. Reborn told Hibari-san when he saw him yesterday and Mukuro will find out because of Chrome.
"Either you get up now or I'll throw you in the shower. Surely a cold shower will wake up you up immediately." Reborn threatened in a dead panned tone.
I was intensely awake and out of bed. I knew he wasn't joking since he actually did that once when I didn't want to wake up and go to college to take a class. Which by the way were on summer break right now, thank God.
"I thought that might work." I heard him say more to himself than to anybody else as I made a run for the closet to get my clothes and went to take a warm shower.
After my shower I went downstairs to our apartment's kitchen where Reborn had already prepared breakfast and was now drinking his espresso. We ate and I did the ditches while Reborn took the packed suitcases downstairs and into the car.
I checked that I had everything I needed before closing the door and locking it behind me. I went to the garage and walked to Reborn's black Bugatti Veyron 16.4. We got in and started the long journey ahead of us. The first three hours were filled either with a comfortable silence or with idle chatter.
Reborn switched his right hand for his left on the steering wheel and held my own as he kept driving down the highway in an alarming speed. Before I told him or more like begged him to slow down but now I got used to his insanely fast driving; at least I know I'm safe since he's an excellent driver. Plus he ignores my pleas anyways so it's futile to even try.
Four hours in and an overwhelming feeling that something's wrong consumes me. I'm actually startled because it came out of nowhere. And that isn't what scares me the most; it's the fact that my intuition has never been wrong, ever.
I have no idea what it is but something is going to happen.
Something terrible…
To be continued…
There's chapter one; I hope you like it.
Please review and let me know what you think.
Until next time,
Girl in Blue
