Summary: Tsuna's existence was colorless until a stranger with bright green eyes and a bewitching smile came in to his life. Slash. Tsuna/Harry. A/B/O themes. Drabble-style. Sky!Harry. Sky!Tsuna. Pre-series.


Legends has it that once upon a time, in a land far far away, lived a man of undisclosed origins. One day, the man met a woman and fell irrevocably in love with her. For the next few years, they lived happily together until familial intervention tried to force them apart. To stay with his beloved, the man sacrificed everything and their unconditional love was so pure that it reached the ears of the goddess of love herself. Aphrodite, touched by the extent mortals could feel, decided to bestow a gift upon humanity.

"When you meet the one destined for you," said she, "time will stop and nothing else will matter. Look in to the eyes of your beloved and you will know."

And thus the term "love at first sight" came to be…


First meeting

There was a lion cub sitting outside the school gates.

There was a LION cub sitting outside the SCHOOL gates.

Why was there a lion cub sitting outside the school gates?

"Gao?"

"Hiiiiie!"

The cub was small, almost the size of a household cat, with a wild mane that made his head appear two times bigger then his body. Despite how cute it looked, self-preservation was telling Tsuna to run far, far away. Lions were predators by nature and they tend to pounce with little to no provocation. And cubs, no matter how nonthreatening they might appear, are still lions and wouldn't hesitate to bit someone's arm off if they wanted.

"Gao?"

Tsuna gulped, trying to calm his racing heart. Why was there a lion cub in front of his school? Was he an escapee from one of the local zoos? Tsuna, for reasons unknown, doubted that it was the case. Besides, he would have read it in the newspaper if an animal as dangerous as a lion had escaped.

"Gao?"

"Natsu!"

Just as Tsuna felt he was about to faint - or find a way to signal Hibari to come save him - a new voice called out, attracting the cub's attention. It tilted its head cutely, its ears fluttering as it registered and recognized the new sound.

Wait, Tsuna thought, somewhat deliriously, this cub actually belonged to someone?

"Natsu!" the voice called again and suddenly Tsuna was no longer alone. Thank merciful god. It looked like he wasn't going to die just yet. "Natsu, you really shouldn't run off like that. People tend to freak out when they see a lion cub running about no matter how domesticated you are."

That answered the ownership question.

With danger no longer eminent, Tsuna finally took time to look at the new arrival, wondering just what kind of person kept lions as pet.

Their eyes met.

Brown versus green.

Tsuna felt his heart skip a beat and time seem to come to a halt around them.

Oh…


TBC.
