A loud slap resounded throughout the room as Hibari held his now red cheek, keeping at bay his newfound desire to bite the herbivore in front of him to death. Never had a herbivore dared to strike him in such a way, but he reminded himself that he deserved this. It was his fault that his herbivore was reacting this way.

No. He has no right to call him that anymore. Sawada Tsunayoshi was no longer his herbivore. He had gone too far this time, and no matter how forgiving the brunet was, Hibari doubted he would get a second chance. Or was it a third? He lost count with how many times he had hurt this particular herbivore. Tsunayoshi was too forgiving for his own good, but even he had his limits.

It was in his nature. Hibari had put up a wall to keep himself protected from crowding herbivores, but somehow, Tsunayoshi had managed to get passed it. Hibari didn't want to believe it, so he made it his task to constantly test him. Even after they began dating, after a full two years of dating, Hibari still tested him. And that was the problem.

In his heart, he knew Tsunayoshi would never betray him, but his mind told him something else, and Hibari always listened to his mind. Every time, he would think of a new way to test Tsunayoshi, each time more difficult. The first time, it was testing his trust, to see if he would believe him no matter what. He lied to Tsunayoshi, and the boy accepted it, even though he knew it was a lie. He hadn't questioned Hibari about it, just let it happen.

The second time, Hibari "accidentally" called the herbivore during one of his fights, just to see if the herbivore would come to help him or not, and he wasn't disappointed when he saw the herbivore arrive in his Hyper Dying Will mode, ready to fight in an already won battle.

But now the situation was different. He went much too far this time. He slept with someone else, something he hadn't even done with his herbivore because he wanted to wait until his herbivore was truly ready. He had timed the event so that Tsunayoshi would find them in whatever position they were in. Hibari had only planned to kiss the other person, but it had escalated too high and he went with it. And Tsunayoshi found him, just as he expected, just not in the way he expected. He didn't expect to be found with his length buried into some random woman that had been flirting with him.

But that was how Tsunayoshi found him, and though a part of him half hoped that the brunet would forgive him, just as he always did. That wasn't the case this time, and he didn't really expect it to be. The herbivore wasn't stupid. Too trusting and forgiving – yes – and he may not have been great with his studies, but the herbivore was by no means stupid.

He was kind and sweet, and now that Hibari was in this position, he realized that the herbivore really did care for him, in a way no one before ever had. And he ruined it. He ruined his relationship with the only person that would actually accept everything about him like Tsunayoshi had. It was his mistake that caused this mess, and he now had no way to fix it.

He wanted to hold his herbivore again, to apologize for everything he had done – to apologize for sleeping with a random woman he had just met. He wanted to beg for forgiveness and he wanted his herbivore to accept him again.

But that was already passed reality, and in the deepest depths of fantasy. His fantasy was that his herbivore would forgive him and they could continue with there happy relationship. The reality of it, was that Tsunayoshi wouldn't forgive him, and he wouldn't go back to being in a happy relationship with him. Tsunayoshi was everything but happy.

The proof was right in front of him, as he watched the herbivore sob, tears streaming down his pale, creamy skin and his eyes showing emotions Hibari had hoped he would never have to see. Hurt, anger, regret, sadness, and pain all mixed into his beautiful brown orbs. His shoulders shook much more than Hibari had ever seen, and his lower lip quivered, obviously failing to stop the onslaught of tears that continued to fall.

"Why Kyoya? Why would you do that?" He couldn't answer that. He wasn't sure why he did that anymore. He felt as though he had to do it, to test his herbivore once more, but it was no longer necessary. Actually, it wasn't necessary to begin with. It was just something he did out of his own stupidity, and now, the guilt was coming back to him with full force.

"Did I do something wrong? Was it something I did?" No. It wasn't your fault, it was mine. The words wouldn't exit his mouth, because his pride wouldn't allow them to. He wouldn't – No. He couldn't say the words that wanted so desperately to be heard by the sobbing brunet in front of him.

"Answer me Kyoya! Why did you do it?!" He had to respond. His herbivore was getting frustrated. But what could he say? I don't know? That would anger his little brunet further. He had to fix this. He had to overcome his pride and tell Tsunayoshi the truth.

"Because I've lost my interest in you." No. No. NO! That wasn't what he wanted to say at all. He didn't want to ruin whatever chances he had left with Tsunayoshi. So why did those words come out of his mouth?

Tsunayoshi's eyes widened, and a flash of realization passed through them that Hibari did not want to see. Was this his fault? Did Tsunayoshi really believe him so easily because of all of the tests he had done? Tsunayoshi should still be able to doubt him; To go against him. He did want the herbivore to obey every single thing he said. As strange as it was, he enjoyed the herbivore's disobedience at times. They were amusing and interesting to say the least. Had he gone too far?

Yes. I did go too far. Much too far.

"I see," Tsuna said, his bangs, which had grown longer over the years, shadowed his eyes and tears continued to pour out in a never ending stream. "I guess it was my fault. I wasn't ready for that serious of a relationship, and I kept you waiting for too long, didn't I. Its only natural you'd find some other way to satisfy that need right? So, how long had it been going on for?"

It's not like that. He didn't mind waiting. In fact, as impatient of a person he was, Tsunayoshi's innocence was one of the reasons he liked the herbivore so much, and was willing to wait. That was the first time he had ever done something like that, and he now regretted it with his entire being.

"Months," he replied. Why? Why won't my brain listen?! The situation was getting so much worse, so much deeper, and his brain wasn't helping to improve it in anyway.

"Oh." Oh, he says. That was it? That was all he could say to this? He wasn't going to argue with him? Or scold him? Tsunayoshi was really going to leave it at that?

"I only want to know one more thing." What more could he possibly want to know? What was Tsunayoshi trying to do? "Did you ever have any feelings for me at all?"

What? The situation was that bad, that Tsunayoshi actually questioned whether the entire relationship was true or not. Another case of myth versus reality, and reality, for some reason, was against him.

"No." That was it. It was all over, and all hope was lost in the dark abyss called despair. There was no fixing this anymore. It was beyond repair.

Tsunayoshi handed him a small black box, and Hibari hesitantly took it, because he was afraid that maybe his skin would brush against Tsunayoshi's and he'd get the same feeling he always got; The feeling – the need to embrace his herbivore.

"I was going to give this to you next week you know? We were so close to 3 years, in just a week, not that it ever really mattered in the first place, did it?" He wanted to reach out for Tsunayoshi's hand that was so far away now, both figuratively and literally, as he exited the room in which their argument took place. "Goodbye Hibari-san."

Goodbye? No. He wouldn't let that happen. How could he forget that their 3 year anniversary was in just a week? One week. That was all the time he needed. In just one week, he was going to make his herbivore fall in love with him again, no matter what the cost.
