AN: For the community love_bingo on LJ. Prompt this time was "Why?" Obviously strayed from my original... plot?
Disclaimer: The day I can sing is the day I own KHR. Let's see... no singing lessons, can't sing for my life... Maybe in a different life?
Hibari turned his attention to his (maybe) lover, who had brought up something that he thought was self-explanatory. Instead of pointing out the stupidity of the question, which should have been done, he instead replied with an eloquent "What?"
Tsuna would have smirked, or at least commented on the confusion, but he was seriously curious as to the choice of pet Hibari had. "Why Hibird?" Not only was that bird once a pet to his enemy (maybe former enemy—he hadn't bothered to find the man after he was defeated), but it also had a bad habit of waking him up at five in the morning with his (maybe her) singing.
Had it been anyone but Hibari, they would have automatically associated the question with jealousy. However, Hibari knew that his lover was genuinely curious and not jealous, despite what some small part of him wanted to say (just to see if he could rile Tsuna up a bit more and get some… he stopped the thought there.)
There was no need for words, there was no need for a verbal explanation, but a swift glance at Hibird with what appeared to be fondness gave Tsuna the answer he suspected.
"I see…" While some part of him was a bit annoyed by the fact that a bird had managed to tame his lover first (not that he'd ever admit feeling those feelings), but he also understood, in a way, why Hibari was so fond of the yellow puffball, a nickname he used around Hibird affectionately.
Not allowing himself to be held back anymore, he tackled the other to the ground, happy to gain enough trust to get an indirect answer instead of being threatened with tonfas (though, that in itself was an interesting… his mind must be going to the gutters because he, Tsunayoshi Sawada, the "prude" one, was thinking things like that). Pushing those thoughts aside, but keeping in mind to mention it later that night, Tsuna just squeezed, happy that he was able to hug Hibari without immediate bodily harm.
Laughing, Tsuna allowed Hibari to push him off, gently, and his smile widened as he noticed the faint (very faint) blush on his lover's face. It was quite adorable (not that Hibari would ever let him live it down if he heard that), and he wished to see more of it. However, much more pressing matters were demanding his attention.
With a seemingly innocent smile, he brought up the question that had been plaguing him ever since… "Kyouya, have you ever thought about using your tonfas for anything other than biting people to death?" Ignoring the obvious twitch (in which he was reminded of Mukuro, who had implied some other uses), Tsuna kept up that cute, innocent smile, hoping that his lover would cave in.
"Why do you ask, Tsunayoshi?"
Allowing his smile to morph into one that was mischievous, he replied with a, "Why not?" His eyes twinkled with mirth as he dragged his lover away for a lesson in what those tonfas were capable of in bed, planning to keep them both occupied for the next few hours or so.
