Well, I promised to make a pairing story for Christmas. As requested, I will be doing…. An 18fem27 story! There will be others, one will probably be a one shot for R27 and then another story for 6927. :D I dunno. If you review, then I will update faster~ XD
Disclaimer: I do not own KHR.
I am asking for you help! THIS IS IN CAPITALS FOR A REASON!
PLEASE SUGGEST A TITLE FOR THIS, BECAUSE I AM DYING FROM EXHAUSTION! THANK YOU! Have a kiss from Tsuna.
It was a dark and cloudy day, perfect weather for one. Hibari Kyoya, who had just begun training in order to protect himself, Namimori and to simply fight, was strolling along the quiet street. The sky dared to rain, as if on the verge of tears, but not a single drop had fallen, yet.
Kyouya's parents were strict, but they were still very caring and kind parents. The only way they were strict was the fact that they wanted Kyoya to grow up like a Hibari. They knew that he had a hidden respect for them and would follow in their footsteps. He had always had the same cold grey eyes which never see to linger on anything. He was independent, refusing all sorts of helps from grown-ups. His parents weren't particularly worried about him, but they knew that one day, he would have to open up to someone else, perhaps lean on their shoulder once in a while instead of him tackling on everything by himself. He just didn't understand 'what meets the eye' but he'll find out, very soon.
Though it was a peaceful day, Kyoya had already encountered trouble. It wasn't someone being beaten up, or someone beating someone up, more like the person was troubled by their own feelings, not that he can see that. Besides that, all he could tell was the child was sad and sulking, but not yet crying tears, a bit like the sky. Just as he was going to walk away from the child, the child grabbed his sleeve. Whether it was a boy or girl, he didn't know.
"C-can you take me with you?" asked the child. The large round doe eyes made the child more girlish, but it could have been a cute girly boy.
"Hn." Upon estimation, he was probably a year or so older than the child, so the child was probably about 5.
"Please!" said the girl-boy, "I-I'm strong!" Well they certainly didn't look strong. The kid was bruised all over the body and there were bleeding grazes on the knees and elbows, which meant the kid, had fallen over, probably more than once. It was extraordinary that the kid wasn't shedding any tears. Kyoya concluded that the child was previously sulking just to keep the pain in and was just waiting for anyone to pass.
The determination was reflected in the person's eyes but looked like a lost chick who made its way to live by suffering pain.
"What is your name?" he asked.
"Tsuna!" The child smiled so brightly like another sun.
"Are you are girl or boy?" asked Kyoya, interested in the outcome. The child shied away for a moment and then gathered his/her courage.
"I'm a girl," Tsuna said. She was constantly bullied for looking like a weak girly boy, when she was in fact a girl. Well that didn't now, did it? She trusted the person in front of her because he didn't do anything bad to her. She also told him that she dressed like a boy because 'boys were strong.' Sighing, he took her hand and dragged her along.
"I-te!" she said as she face planted onto the floor, which was luckily grass, while trying to keep up with Hibari's speed.
"Get up herbivore. If I wasn't here who's going to pick you up?"
"A-ah," she got up within seconds and powered on. After a few minutes, Hibari looked back at Tsuna who was already huffing and puffing, but she still kept going. He grinned. Why? Maybe it was how the herbivore acted so strong willed.
"Wao," he said as they finally arrived at the Hibari household. Tsuna looked like she would faint from exhaustion [like me who's typing this] but she was still standing, slightly swaying like a piece of paper about to topple off the side of a desk [like the book I wrote this story in which just fell.]
"Kyou-san," said someone with a strange mullet hairstyle. Tsuna giggled at the strange sight but kept it in. He said something to the mullet hair guy and then the two continued to walk going inside the house. It was a typical Japanese home, but was larger than the other houses on the street. Tsuna followed Kyoya as he led her to the lounge.
"Hm? Kyoya, who is this?" asked a woman, eying the two suspiciously. She was Kyoya's mother.
"A lost chick," he said, referring to Tsuna as if she was some sort of cute vulnerable animal.
"Well, it's not every day this happens. We'll take care of her then," she said. Inside she was delighted. First of all was that it was a girl, would've been good for her Kyoya to get a girlfriend early. Secondly, the she knew that the girl had this sort of serenity, despite her dishevelled look, which hinted that she did something to calm the small Hibari. Last of all was the fact that she could look after a girl. After all, as a mother, she had bought many clothes for her son to wear, which were all bright coloured clothes and cute ones. Since the girl was dressed as a boy, she thought there was a reason to it so the wasted clothes could finally be used.
Kyoya nodded and then Tsuna just simply quietly stared on. He took her to his room. Awed that the room was only black and white, with the only visibility of colour being the books on the shelf and the small purple utensils which included pens and pencils.
"Kyoya," said Tsuna. "Kyo-ya-nii~"
He responded turning towards the girl. Tsuna took a step back, slightly scared of the glare and imposing figure.
"What."
"U-um, is it okay to call you that?" she asked.
"Hn. Do what you want," he said. Should she want to consider him as an elder brother, he didn't mind, so he let her call him that. He opened the walk in wardrobe and looked at the neat pile of clothes he never wore because they didn't suit him because of their… not Hibari likeness.
He picked out an orange and black striped shirt that was given to him when he was four along with long pants. He let her change in the wardrobe and she came back out, unsure about the length of the pants. Grunting, Kyoya knelt [AND PROPOSED. I'm kidding… now back to the story] and rolled the ends of the pants up.
"Uh… Kyouya nii, do you have food?" asked Tsuna when he was done with her clothes. He said nothing and went downstairs. Curious at what he would give her to eat, she patiently waited as she looked out the window where the sky outside was getting darker by the second, threatening to rain. It seemed to reflect her feelings. She didn't realise that she was crying a bit until it started to rain heavily. Wiping away her tears, she turned around to be faced by Hibari.
"Hie!" she cried out, startled.
"Were you crying?" he asked, even though he saw her crying.
"N-no, I'm strong, so I don't cry!" insisted Tsuna. There was an awkward silence but Hibari's face started to contort. She thought he was in pain but he was laughing. The first time in his life he was laughing at a weak herbivore trying to act like a carnivore. Tsuna stayed silent as he laughed and when he stopped, Kyoya realised that she was smiling.
"You should laugh more," she said. He had thought about it but ended up flicking her forehead tell her the nature of carnivores were different to omnivores and herbivores.
She laughed at how he classified people as carnivores, omnivores and herbivores and especially how he had only ever called other herbivores, except his parents who were both carnivores and… sadists. A deadly mix. Hibari produced the two apples he brought from the kitchen downstairs and gave one to her. They both ate their apples happily.
If Kyoya nii is a carnivore, why does he eat fruits? Thought Tsuna. She dismissed it, thinking that fruit made peoples' bodies grow and healthier.
"You can explore. If you need help, I'll be here," he said, pulling out a short novel. She nodded and decided to go downstairs first. Checking that the Kyoya's mother was free, she took the chance to speak to her.
"Ah, hello," she said with a warm smile. Tsuna had to smile back, which took the woman to another world of sunshine and happiness.
"My name is Hibari Testuko, you can just call me auntie or mother," she said.
"Okaa-san?" said Tsuna, tilting her head cutely. Even Testuko had to hold in her reaction to the cuteness.
"Hai~"
"Oh! I'm Tsuna, but I'm a girl," she said sheepishly.
"Hm? Why is your name a boy's name then?" asked Kyoya's mother.
"I-I changed it! Boys are stronger, so I decided to be a boy," she said.
"Aw, but I'm a strong woman," said Testuko. Tsuna had to agree. The woman had an oppressing aura, seething with grace and danger. "The Hibari family just happens to like strong people." Testuko glanced at the multiple injuries scattered all over Tsuna's body, and then the way she walked. There was small jerk in her right leg, so she probably got a bad bruise or she had twisted her ankle. Her breathing was slightly laboured, it could have been from consistent hitting to the chest, or there was a broken rib not yet healed. She couldn't be more proud at how the girl was able to survive through all she's been through.
"What about your parents?" she asked. It was probably a sensitive topic but she was surprised when Tsuna answered back.
"Mum hated me so she left. I don't know where or who dad is," she said brightly, "it's okay though."
Testuko chuckled softly at the girl's enthusiasm and optimism.
"U-um," she said a bit embarrassed, "where's the bathroom?"
"Say so sooner~" scolded Testuko, teasingly, pointing down the hall way opposite of the stair case. When the girl left she thought to herself, No wonder you brought such an interesting child home, and then went to her husband to talk about Tsuna.
When Tsuna returned, she was actually quite relieved that Hibari's mother had left. Though she was a mother figure, she was a bit intimidating and expectant of others. She continued exploring and when she finished exploring the bottom floor and second floor, she decided to take a peek of the attic. When she thought of the attic, she thought about a cool adventure but before she could even see the rom she heard shuffling and talking coming from the room instantly scared she ran into Kyoya's room
"K-Kyoya nii, there's noises coming from the attic!"
"Hn, you got scared by that?" he replied. She froze, forgetting about how he disliked herbivorous actions.
"Ah, uh… no? But-"
"It's an office. My parents are there," he said going back to the book he was reading. Making an understanding face, Tsuna backed off and decided to watch Hibari instead since she had nothing else to do. Not realising it, she fell asleep.
"Hey, wake up."
"Uhn?" Rubbing her eyes, she sat up and stared at her surroundings. Hibari was holding a plate of food. She asked what it was.
"Chicken, rice and vegetables." He gave her the plate mumbling something about omnivores. She eyed the food suspiciously but still ate it ravenously.
Once she finished eating, she yawned and, once again, fell asleep. Hibari sighed and put a blanket over her and continued reading his book. Looking at Tsuna's peaceful sleeping face, he heard her mumble, 'Kyo ya nii… I love you.'
He was pretty sure he heard wrong though, because, well… he can't love anyone back.
I wanted it to be longer, but I decided that this would be a good place to stop.
Thank you so much and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
PLEASE, PLEASE, SUGGEST A TITLE! I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING!
Bye bii~
