Tsunayoshi Sawada growled as he slammed his hands onto the steering wheel and he threw himself back, hissing through his teeth. He shook his chocolate brown hair out of his eyes and hands reached up to adjust the loosely fixed tie that hung around his neck.
Damn those traffic lights.
Tsuna shifted slightly in the dark, lifting his left hand and stared at the flashing electronic digits on his watch.

Tsuna groaned as he leaned his head against the driving wheel, fingers drumming frantically against the cool grey leather. He could see the flashing taillights of the cars in front of him, all flashing red and yellow as car after car sped past his lane. Tsuna fought back the urge to honk the horn at whichever idiot was causing the traffic, then he remembered that it was the unchanging traffic lights that were holding him up. He was going to be tardy for a date in nine minutes for heaven's sake, yet the taunting red light refused to show mercy. Why does it always have to be him when it came to misfortune!

18:23
He was going to be late. And then he was going to die by the hands of his boyfriend.
The lights changed to green and Tsuna slammed his feet onto the accelerate peddle, going a little (a lot) faster than he had intended to. The speed-dial in front of him sliding a little off of the speed limit as he raced down the dimly lit street. Damn, he didn't have time. If he was late for their date again Kyoya had sworn that he would bite him to death.

18:24
"Herbivore, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand." Tsuna could almost hear the aggravated voice of his boyfriend as he pelted down the alley. "Do you want to be bitten to death?" The brunette pushed his car even faster as shop after shop, restaurant after restaurant blurred past his window. So far, Tsuna had been lucky for not have been 'killed' by an extremely annoyed Hibari. But a few more mess-ups and the poor Sawada wasn's sure if he could get out alive.
He and Kyoya had been dating for years now, and every single time, Hibari would get there a couple of minutes early while dear Tsuna would be late for their dates under one reason or another. This time he was determined to get things right.

18:25
'Just a little more.' He coaxed his car as he neared the street Hibari had mentioned to him just last night. Tsuna leaned forwards slightly as he neared the cozy little shop where Kyoya had set up their date.
The surprisingly fancy and cozy dates that Kyoya had always set up were always… nice, and Tsuna could tell that it must have taken al lot of effort from stolid raven. This time it was his turn to impress Hibari, not the other way around. 'One last corner' he thought desperately as he spun the steering wheel to the left, wheels skidding on the pavement as the car made a sharp turn.

18:26
Bright white light blinded Tsunayoshi's vision for a split second as his car made a harsh turn around the block. Tsuna slammed his foot onto the break as the screech of the other's sleek black cars break's penetrated his ears. Both cars spun at the sudden halt before slamming into each other. The loud screeching of metal against metal rung in his ears as the window next to him shattered on impact, sprinkling him with cold shards of glass. Warm blood trickled down Tsuna's forehead as he was thrown forwards against his steering wheel. Tsuna opened his mouth and chocked slightly at the wet metal taste that had pooled in his mouth.

"Kyoya's date!' Tsuna thought silently, his brain sluggish as he tried to get up. 'I can't move.' A wave of nausea hit him as he feel back against the seat. His breathing slowed as he watched the seconds' hand on his shattered tick towards another minute. "Kyoya, Kyoya… Sorry." Tsuna's brain couldn't register what had happened. His whole body was numb as he lay there, paralyzed in the dark and listening to the sound of a crowd gathering. " I'm going to be bitten to death." He thought through the haze clouding his mind and desperately, he made one last attempt to stand up to no avail. Defeated and in pain, tired eyelids slid over his brown eyes as he faded into the bliss of unconsciousness.

'Crap.'
