A little drabble with branch ending. I don't own KHR. Unbeta-ed.

Tsuna likes how Hibari calls him.

Little animal.

It wasn't friendly like Yamamoto's "Tsuna" or Kyoko-chan's "Tsuna-kun", it didn't have any admiration like Gokudera's "Tenth!" or Haru's "Tsuna-san!", moreover it didn't any trace of familiarity like Dino-san's "little brother" or Fuuta's "Tsuna-nii!"

The way Hibari called him was a distant gesture and yet at the same time he feels so close…

Watch me, little animal.

Bite him to death, little animal.

…so close.

At first, Tsuna disliked being called like a pet, but when among 'herbivores' and he heard the call, he would squeak and hide his embarrassment.

For some reason, he felt special.

"Little animal, what are you doing here? Class is in session."

"H-Hieee! W-We're on free period, Hibari-san!"

"That doesn't mean you're free to linger around the corridor…where is the other little animal?"

"…"

But Tsuna knew.

"…A-Ah, I was only going to the restroom. Enma is in the classroom."

But Tsuna knew, it was only his wishful thinking. He wasn't any special. Afterall, he wasn't the only little animal.

Why can't Hibari-san just call me by name? It'll get confusing. He inwardly thought, sulking at the idea.

"Quickly go back to your class, little animal before…"

"Midori~ Tanabiku~ Namimori no~"

"Little one," Hibari called, stretching his hand for his bird to land on his fingers, "I told you to make no noise when class is in session," chastised the prefect, flicking the bird's head as punishment. After delivering his usual warning (threat) to the younger student, the ravenet resumed his patrol leaving Tsuna alone in the corridor watching his retreating figure.

Right then, Tsuna realized. He didn't want Hibari called his name like Ryohei's "Sawada!" or like how Hibari called "Kusakabe" casually.

Little one.

He wanted the affection. Almost like how Hibari treated Hibird or Roll, but more and more.

He loves Hibari.

From here is the branch ending. Pick your ending!

2. I no longer can call your name.

3. The Sky calls your name.

4. I will always love you.

And then review with your favorite one :DD
