"I'm so-sorry." Tsuna croaked out, before he coughed again. His chest was completely soaked with blood, but even if he was obviously in pain he still smiled, wanting to tell his guardian that it was alright.

"Don't talk Tenth, the doctors will be here soon, please don't tire yourself." Gokudera spoke in frantic voice. One of his hands tightly held his phone, that he was only moment talking to, or more like swearing that if they won't send help soon, he will blow them up and the other was squeezing his boss own, sweaty and a little bloodied one.

"T-thank you Gokudera-kun, I … shouldn't have let my … guard down." His voice was becoming more like a small whisper.

"I thought that the herbivore part of your life was behind you." The voice of Hibari Kyoya spoke from above him.

"Don't you dare to talk like-"

"It's okay…" the wounded man said before smiling again, but his eyes were watering a little. "Hi-Hibari-san …" the man bent over, seeing that Tsuna wanted to say something. "I wanted … wanted to tell you…" he fell quiet and shut his eyes, his face contorted in pain. When he opened them, Hibari was shocked to see so much sadness in them. Gokudera started to wave his arms furiously, signaling for the ambulance that can be heard where they were. "… wanted to tell you … tell you that … that …"

"Quickly, he's here. He's been shot in chest. Do something. Tenth, it's gonna be alright, the medics are here, do you here me Tenth? Tenth...?" the right-hand of the Tenth Vongola Boss was becoming hysterical. The sight of his beloved boss, bloodied, barely breathing with closed eyes but still the gentle smile on his lips was driving him crazy.

The words that the doctor said next, nearly made him loose it.

"He stopped breathing…"

Hibari abruptly sat up, the sheets clinging to his body as cold sweat dripped down his shivering body. He looked around, but then closed his eyes and willed his heart to calm down. Breathing in and out deeply, he tried to not to think about his dream but to no avail. His thought kept drifting to the grown up herbivore. The man that was stupid enough to let himself to be shot. What he said to him, about growing up from his pathetic self, he really meant it. Hibari knew that he should feel disgusted with Tsuna's weak action, but he didn't. And that irritated him to no end. And to top it of, he felt angry at the men that dared to even think about harming the Vongola Boss.

The dream or more like a memory has been haunting him for week. It was a whole week that Tsuna stayed in hospital, his life nearly lost, but in the last moment saved, surprising even the various doctors that said that it was 'miracle the man was still alive'. It was a whole week that he told his right hand, Kusakabe, that no matter what, he wants to know the location of the assassins and their boss. It was a whole week that he was left to ponder Tsuna's words before he nearly died.

"Hi-Hibari-san …I wanted … wanted to tell you … tell you that … that …"

The sentence was left incomplete, but Hibari knew that the man wanted to tell him something important, important enough to forget about the pain he must have been in and choke it out. The small knock on his bedroom's door tore him away from his musing. He swiftly got up and quietly strode to the doors.

"Sorry for interrupting." Kusakabe bowed slightly when he opened the door. When Hibari gave him a small nod of acknowledgement he continued. "About the man you asked, I have all the info I could get, including their personal hist-"

"Do you know their position in the moment?"

"Yes, I have already send someone to get a car ready for you." Kyoya nodded again and then ordered his right hand to wait for him by the vehicle during his quick shower. When the man left, he gathered his things and went to his own bathroom and took a refreshing shower, pulling his mind away from the repetitive dream at least for a moment.

When Hibari got dressed and finished getting ready for the attack he left the room and quickly walked to the front door where, as Kusakabe said, a car waited for him, with said man going to open the door when he saw his boss coming.

"Do you wish me to come with you or would like me to stay here, Kyo-san?"

"You can come but don't get in my way." Hibari answered and with both of them inside, the rider in front rode of towards the directions given to him. Knowing that he was going to fight soon, most likely against a rather big crowd, his mind automatically pushed all thoughts of Tsuna to the back of his mind.

^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^

The sound of phone ringing made the man leaning against a black car jump a little and then dive into the said car for the device. It wasn't his. It was his boss who he knew wouldn't appreciate if interrupted in his current activity; fighting. Kusakabe knew that from years of experience of dealing with a man like Hibari for boss, whose phone was still ringing in his hand. He checked the ID and upon releasing that it would be probably better to take the call, he swung the device open.

"Kusakabe here. I apologize but Kyo-san can't speak with you now, Yamamoto-san."

"It's okay, Kusakabe-san. Could you just tell Hibari something for me?" Yamamoto asked.

"Of course."

"Well, I don't know if he is interested, but I just wanted to let him know that Tsuna was released from hospital. Doctors said that he is supposed to rest but he's already in the mansion and marveling about his amazing right-hand man who kept whole Vongola running for the time he was away. You can imagine how Gokudera reacted to that kind of praise." The swordsman said with a small chuckle while Kusakabe just smiled a little.

"Thank you Yamamoto-san, I'll tell him as soon as I can."

^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^

Kusakabe raised his head to the quiet sound of approaching footsteps; it was Hibari. The cloud guardian was currently cleaning his tonfas with some cloth and wore the little smile of satisfaction that can be seen on him after a fight. That kind of smile that people normally have when they were completely relaxed.

"Yamamoto-san called while you were away. I apologize for using your phone." Kusakabe said with a small bow when the man came closer.

"Hn."

"He left a message for you." When Hibari raised one questioning eyebrow at him, apparently wondering what it was that his loyal man would think was important enough to tell him, Tetsuya continued. "He said that Sawada-dono got out of the hospital and is already in the main Vongola mansion. He is supposed to take it easy but he will be alright."

Even if Hibari tried to hide it, he was sure that his right hand man noticed how his shoulders tensed a little before he managed to maintain his composure. He growled inwardly; his first thought was to go somewhere else, not to the head-quarters. That mere thought made him want to beat himself up; he wasn't running away. So he stubbornly sat down in the back seat and forced his body to relax while the driver silently drove off, making his way swiftly to the HQ.

^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^

Around 9 o'clock in the evening Hibari was returning to his rooms, without meeting with Tenth because even if he was already in the mansion, his loyal right hand man apparently forbid him to work. If Hibari was herbivore he would have laughed at the irony. The report he always gave after fight went by quickly, as it was now Gokudera and not Tsuna who listened, and seeing as the storm guardian still didn't really like him (not like he cared about that anyway), you can imagine the tension in the main office. After he gave Kusakabe free time for the next three day, he quickly walked down the numerous halls of HQ and deep down in his heart prayed that he won't meet the herbi-

Looks like the gods didn't like him; Hibari briefly considered changing his life-style and be a little more gentle but immediately beat the thought out of his mind.

"What are you doing here, herbivore?" Tsuna actually jumped, jumped when he heard Hibari ask. His eyes widened with shock and a pink flush dominated his cheeks when he realized that the guardian caught him 'crowding' in front of the entrance to the ex-prefect's rooms. But he tried to cover his nervousness with a small sweet smile.

"I thought that I've grown up from that part of my life." He said still with the smile, but it was wiped clean by the force of Hibari's scowl. The man apparently didn't like to be reminded of his somewhat encouraging words. "I-…, um," Tsuna stuttered out but closed his mouth, his eyes a little bit wider than normal, trying to think up an excuse but not a single idea came to his head.

"I'm not really a patient person." Hibari said irritation clear in his voice.

The next sentence that came out of his mouth surprised even him, but he was able to mask his feelings, unlike a certain mafia boss, whose eyes widened to the extent that even Hibari was beginning to worry, if they will be able to stay in their sockets.

"What did you wanted to say before you fell unconscious?"

The silence that followed was deafening. It was already late enough for most of the men that didn't have to work this night to leave the mansion. The few that stayed were most likely guarding the outer parts of HQ closely, making sure that nothing, whatever that might be, went past them and bothered the inner rings of rooms of their precious boss and his direct subordinates and most of the offices that contained valuable information.

That meant that they were practically alone in this part of manor, seeing as Hibari got his room a little away from others because of crowding-dislike.

"I-…" Tsuna finally stuttered out only to cut himself off while his eyes nervously flickered to the sides to find something to either say or use as a distraction. Hibari's face remained stoic but his mind was going crazy. There was surprise; seeing as Hibari normally wouldn't care about things that weren't really important or if he did, he didn't like to show it. There was confusion; the thing Tsuna wanted to tell him that day was obviously important but it was either embarrassing or something that would bring a furious I-will-bite-you-to-death to the young mafia boss in front of him. And there was definitely anger; the cloud guardian couldn't tell if he was angry at himself for asking such a question or at the boss that was still fidgeting and frying his brain trying to say something.

While Hibari was silently musing to himself Tsuna was trying to make a decision. And if he decided that he will go with the true, it would bring him mostly embarrassment and he wasn't even talking about the pain that would follow after Hibari got a wind of what he wanted to say. But one side started to slowly take over when he looked at the other man whose eyes were still on him but were slightly unfocused, like he was in his little world where no one could disturb him.

And Tsuna decided.

He clenched his fist and took advantage of Kyoya's distraction, cutting the distance short with quick steps until he was standing right in front of his guardian. He looked up into the surprised silver eyes and fisted the collar of the black suit, pulling the taller man down until they were in eye-level.

"I wanted to say that … that I really love you." He said and watched with amusement as Hibari's eyes widened a little. But he didn't give the other man any chance to 'bite him to death'; instead he leaned forward quickly and kissed him, all the while watching the surprised eyes.

"I was afraid and embarrassed to tell you, but since you asked, I guess the 'carnivorous' side of me got in charge." Tsuna whispered, still only mere inches from Hibari's face. He smiled, kissed him on the cheek and walked away, leaving Hibari completely shocked with a slight pink tinge to his cheek.

The sound of breaking glass, some swearing and a faint careless laugh pulled him out of his shock; Hibari immediately walked the small distance to his room and closed his door stiffly behind him.

The guardian leaned against them for an instance, but then walked over to the comfy black sofa and threw his jacket on it. His mind was empty, but it looked like it wouldn't last for very long. He was in the middle of unbuttoning his shirt when the past minute or two finally registered. Hibari's hands stilled and he stared ahead while his emotion swirled around.

First; there was surprise again. How was that even possible? How did the herbivore mustered the courage to tell him? Why did he felt like that? That naturally led to the second; confusion again. Hibari just couldn't answer any of his questions, no matter how much he thought it over. But this time there wasn't any anger. He found himself surprised double the amount, because he was embarrassed. He was even blushing.

And that was the last straw. The man literally ripped his shirt off, not caring how much damage he caused, while scowling darkly and trying to get rid of the red on his cheeks. He swiftly changed to the pajama bottoms and let himself to fall on the bed, kicking the covers to one side, since it was pretty warm and tried to just forget about everything and go to sleep. It didn't really work but he fell asleep after a little while since he woke up early, traveled a lot and fought a lot. His body finally relaxed, his mind emptied while it was waiting to start showing the dreams and the only sound in the room was a low breathing.
