Summary: There were so many things that separated Hibari from the person he was interested in. Sometimes, he vaguely wondered that if he hadn't become famous things would have turned out differently- but even he knew that something stupid would have gotten in his way. 1827. Famous!Hibari. Student!Tsuna. AU.
Chapter One
As the raven-haired teen known as Hibari Kyoya stepped out into the fresh air, he was instantly greeted by screams of happiness by fans and the flashes from cameras, along with the usual questioning.
"Kyoya-san, we heard you're planning on releasing a new album soon, care to have a short interview so we can let your fans know about it?"
"Kyoya! Is it true that you turned down yet another marriage proposal suggested by your parents?"
"Have you recovered? Supposedly your tour in America was cancelled due to illness!"
He could hear questions being shot at him from all angles, causing his head to pound as his producer, Dino Cavallone, ushered him along, into the safe confines of Cavallone Studios, where the noise finally died down as the doors shut. With a low sigh, Hibari was quick to shrug his guitar case of his back and throw himself down on the closest sofa, rubbing his temples in irritation.
"Ahaha, still as popular as ever, Kyoya," Dino commented, already moving to get painkillers to soothe the irritable teens headache. "It shows they missed you though. All your fans were worried when they heard you cancelled the rest of your tour in America due to illness."
"It was the flu Cavallone," he muttered in response, sitting up before taking the painkillers offered to him, downing them down with water. "Of course, I would have still performed if someone hadn't made me stay in bed."
Dino raised his hands defensively.
"It's not my fault I want you to care more about your health! You really should relax a bit though," Dino closed his eyes and sighed. "It's true that being so well-known at a young age has its consequences, but damn..."
Hibari had chosen to ignore him at this point, brushing his hair away from his eyes as he unzipped his guitar case and pulled it out, strumming a few strings before beginning to tune it, listening carefully.
"The only thing that bothers me is the crowding," Hibari spoke quietly, turning the tuning keys and strumming again. "And the fact they seemingly know anything. But I'd rather deal with those herbivores than my parents."
Dino merely gave him a silent stare before flipping his phone out, sending a message before turning to leave.
"I'll go get a room arranged for you Kyoya, just... stay here." With that, he left, causing Hibari to stop strumming and then smirk before he placed his guitar back in its case before going through the small should bag Dino had brought in with him, pulling out a hoodie before leaving the building through the back entrance. He managed to walk past all his fans with the hood up, most people assuming he was just a passer-by.
Dino would probably have a go at him later, but he wanted to at least have some time alone before he got piled on with work.
Sitting in probably the most avoided corner of the first café he came across, Hibari was quite happy that the place was quiet and that no one had recognized who he was at all. On the way he'd picked up a notepad and was scribbling random lyrics- his attention only being brought away from it when he noticed someone standing next to him.
"Ano... can I get you anything...?" Hibari glanced up, being careful to keep his hood up before relaxing slightly, noting it was a male waiter who was probably younger than him. "I didn't really want to disturb you since you seemed to be focusing..."
Hibari was in the middle of staring at unruly brown hair and tired caramel eyes before he looked away, speaking quietly.
"Just tea." Hibari could tell he was getting a surprised look from the boy, yet he resisted the urge to shoot him a look. "Don't hurry with it though."
The boy nodded before walking off, leaving Hibari alone to his thoughts for a few moments before returning after a few minutes, holding a tray full of tea, which caused Hibari to stare at it questioningly.
"Eh... I thought you might like to try a few different ones since you never really specified..." the boy then shook his head, before smiling happily. "But don't worry, I won't charge any extra."
The tray was put down in front of him, Hibari listening as each was pointed out and then named.
"This one is Kocha. This one Sencha... Gyokuro..." he then trailed off before furrowing his brow. "Ah... maybe I made too much..."
"It's fine he-" Hibari had to cut himself off as he sighed. "Anyway, you shouldn't have gone through all the bother."
The other could only beam happily, his tired eyes lighting up slightly as he looked thoughtful.
"Maman always told me to go out of my way to try and make someone happy- and you seemed a bit- um... agitated when you came in-"
"Agitated?"
"Etto... you know... when you came in there was a lot of people hanging around. I think the town is mobbed since someone famous returned from another country... don't remember who it was though..."
Hibari almost felt like pointing out that he was sitting right in front of him, but decided against it- not knowing what his reaction would be. He turned his attention back to the lyrics, looking slightly irked as he moved his hands to scrap it- yet paused when the brunette stopped him, seemingly reading it.
"It's rude to read without asking."
"G-Gomen! It caught my attention..." he then smiled before pointing pointing at the lyrics and speaking softly. "And I don't see why you're tossing it away! The lyrics are fine- you just need to slow it down a bit... and..."
Hibari silenced him before handing the pen over to him, just to see what changes he would make, his attention going back to the tea in front of him. It was a few moments later that the raven-haired teen sighed, taking a glance at the other male and then at the lyrics.
"What's your name?" he asked, noting that the other was focused on the task at hand. "You seem to someone who'd be pretty good at composing."
"Tsuna. Sawada Tsunayoshi," he then smiled happily. "I study music part-time."
"Why not full time?"
"Eh? Well... I was going to... but I didn't want Maman running the café all alone... We don't really make enough money to hire another worker..." Tsuna merely smiled, looking content. "It just means I need to wait a bit longer. I'm hoping one day I can be a songwriter... you know?"
Hibari was silent, taking the lyrics back and reading them over before humming the tune Tsuna had made for it, raising an eyebrow in slight surprise before getting to his feet, grabbing the others arm.
"You're coming with me," he stated, before tugging the other along. "I want you to meet my boss."
Tsuna was blinking rapidly as he tried to pull away, looking confused at Hibari's sudden want to go.
"W-Wait! You don't even know who I am! You just met me-"
"I know potential when I see it herbivore," Hibari spoke bluntly, before looking at the brunette. "Like I said, I'm taking you to see my boss."
"I can't leave with someone I barely know! And I can't leave the café without telling Maman-"
Hibari then let go of Tsuna's arm, shooting him a look from under his hood before he reached up and pulled it down, his raven hair slightly messy. His eyes were narrowed.
"Hibari Kyoya. A singer contracted under Cavallone Studios," he spoke, his irritation showing. "Most herbivores get tossed aside, not having enough talent. I'll admit that I don't know how well you can work- but this here..."
He then looked at the notepad before a small smirk appeared on his face.
"You crafted my lyrics into something better within mere minutes."
Tsuna stumbled in shock, clearly not believing who was standing right in front of him before sitting down quickly, Hibari pulling his hood back up quickly before anyone saw him, listening to the soft mumbles come from the brunette in front of him.
"This can't be happening... probably dreaming... yeah... dreaming..."
Hibari could only bring himself to smirk then.
"You're definitely not dreaming, Tsunayoshi. Now are you coming or not?"
And then there was silence.
