Tsuna's eyes widened at the sight in front of him. His boyfriend, Hibari, was lying in bed with another man. Not knowing what to do, he did the first thing that came to mind: Run. He ran and ran, not noticing anything around him until he bumped into something. Or rather, someone.

"Tsunayoshi."

Tsuna flinched; the tone of the voice was so similar, that it hurt.

"Why are you crying?"

The man that he literally ran into knelt in front of him and wiped away his tears. Even the feeling of the hand felt so similar. He couldn't stand it. Tsuna stood up and backed away, thinking of running again. The man didn't like being ignored; he growled and pinned Tsuna to the wall.

"Answer me. Why are you crying?"

"Hibari...bed...Mukuro..."

The man sighed and carried him to his room.

"Sleep," he ordered.

Tsuna's eyelids felt heavy, and he collapsed onto the bed.


He woke up to the sight of a certain blond right in the same bed, right next to him. Tsuna stroked the platinum blond hair.

"He doesn't look as scary when he's sleepy," Tsuna murmured to himself, a smile present on his face.

"So I look scary when I'm awake?"

"HIIEEE!"

Tsuna screamed and tried to get away, but he forgot that he was on a bed, so he ended up falling onto the floor. Alaude gave a small chuckle and helped him up.

"So, what were you doing earlier?" Alaude asked.

Tsuna's body stiffened, remembering quite vividly the reason why he had been running. He stuttered, trying to think of an excuse. Alaude watched him for a while with a frown.

"Let me guess. You caught Hibari and Mukuro sleeping together, and you felt betrayed since Hibari was your boyfriend, but you didn't know what to do, so you decided to run away from your problem."

Tsuna's mouth was wide open. "H-H-How?"

Alaude didn't respond. On the outside, he was hiding everything behind his usual stoic mask. On the inside, he was barely restraining the urge to rip Hibari to pieces. Barely.

Silence consumed the pair as they started thinking. The think silence was cut by the sound of a moan from Hibari's room. Tsuna's eyes started getting teary. Alaude clicked his tongue as the sound of a creaking bed could be heard. Tsuna tried covering his ears to cover the sound but it didn't work. Alaude pulled him close and hugged him. Tsuna was so close that he could hear the sound of Alaude's heartbeat.

"So you do have a heart after all," Tsuna murmured as he snuggled closer and breathed in his scent.

The sound of the heartbeat and Alaude's scent made Tsuna felt peaceful. Eventually, he fell asleep. Alaude buried his face in the brown locks of hair and slowly fell asleep, too. Alaude woke up when the door slammed open to reveal an angry Hibari.

"What the hell are you doing to my boyfriend?" he demanded.

"What boyfriend? This one is mine," Alaude replied coolly.

"Yours?" Hibari growled.

"Mine. He won't go back to you after seeing and hearing you and that pineapple."

"But he won't go to you either."

"How can you be so sure when right now, he's hugging me tightly? You missed out on him snuggling closer to me."

Hibari scowled. He had nothing to use as a retort.

"Leave," Alaude ordered. "Get away from him before you hurt him any more.

Hibari didn't look like he wanted to leave. Right at that moment, Tsuna woke up. He rubbed the sleep out of one eye while the other eye examined his surroundings.

"Ah, Hibari, perfect timing; I have something to tell you," Tsuna said.

Hibari unconsciously took a step back when he heard the cold voice. It was nothing like the warm tone that he was used to.

"Tsunayoshi, come to me and get awa-"

"I want to break up."

Tsuna's words cut through the air. If Hibari was a normal person, he would back away and retreat. Then again, a normal person probably wouldn't leave Tsuna for someone else.

"Hibari! Let's spar to the extreme!"

Now having an excuse to leave, Hibari turned and left. Tsuna watched him go for a bit before he started crying again. He was getting Alaude's shirt completely wet, but neither of them cared enough to do something about it. Tsuna ended up crying himself to sleep.

"I won't let him hurt you anymore," Alaude vowed.


Chapter 1 complete! After this, there's going to be one or more fics before I (finally) work on my other published fics, so bear with me. I still need to think of something to do for Valentine's Day, too. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
