Chapter 1
"Kringggggggggg~!" The shriek of the alarm clock instantly woke Hibari up. He glanced at the clock which strike 7 and rushed to the toilet. Hell, I stayed overnight here and did all the documents- now, I really felt like a piece of shit.
Everyone who was standing at the corridor avoided him as he showed his tonfa to them and they hurriedly gave way to him. Everything went quite peaceful until he had his breakfast when Kusakabe, his assistant entered the reception room.
"Kyo-san, the new student is arriving soon. Here is the information of him." He handed the file to Hibari and studied the boy's reaction silently.
"Dino Cavallone...?" I think I've heard of this name before...but where's it...? He flipped through the pages and sighed. Hibari stared at the standardized-size photo of the new student. Blond and idiot-looking. Ugh. Herbivore.
"Erm...Kyo-san? Anything the matter?" Kusakabe observed the uneasy fidget of the Namimori Chuu's leader.
"No." Short and stern. He closed the file and threw it onto the desk. So, you're the one who caused the fatigue on me, Dino Cavallone... You behave anything herbivore-ic, believe me, I'm going to assassinate you.
" Anything else?" Hibari looked up.
"Yes. We got a letter for you." He placed a plain white-colored envelope onto the pile of documents. The raven-haired boy stared suspiciously at the envelope but ordered anyhow, "Dismiss."
"Understood." Kusakabe bowed and left the room hurriedly. After a few minutes gone, a gust of black-purple aura danced out from the gap of the reception room's door and instantly, the school almost collapsed due to the angry shouting of one Hibari Kyoya.
"W-What's wrong? Kyo-san, what's happening?" Kusakabe barged in, only to be greeted by the appearance of a furious looking Hibari.
"This..." He started dangerously. "WHAT. IS. THIS?" He held up the paper which contained a lot of graffiti and love-shaped bubbles- a sketchy 'I LOVE YOU' was scribbled on the footer of the letter. Kusakabe's eyes bulged. Kyo-san...has just received...A LOVE LETTER?
XXXXXXXXXX
"Boss...do you think that will work?" Romario asked, pouring an amount of Teavana into the expensive Spode Blue Italian tea cup. "He does not even remember you."
"Of course! He'll fall over heels for me after reading the letter! I'm awesome and artistic after all in literature."
Romario mentally face-palmed. Yeah, yeah whatever. You'll find yourself falling with your heels instead since you know how sadistic Kyoya-san is... Maybe you don't... May god bless your life, Dino-san.
XXXXXXXXXX
"WHO THE HELL SENT THIS TO ME?" Hibari glared venomously at Kusakabe.
The prefect squeaked. "I-I don't know. When I wanted to take a look at his face, he just ran off and disappeared."
"HE?" If it's a bloody girl, it's still acceptable but-but-but...it's A BLOODY BOY! WHO KNOWS HOW OLD THE IDIOT IS?
"Y-Yes..." Kusakabe stepped back at the bursting aura of the raven-haired boy. Shit. I stepped onto the wrong foot.
Before he or Hibari could say anything, the door creaked open and a beautiful long-haired girl walked in. A blond boy grinning charmingly tailed behind.
"Kyoya-san, he's Dino Cavallone- the new student." The girl said, smiling.
"I'll handle him." Hibari took a quick glance at the other boy before dismissing Kusakabe and the girl.
"Ciao, I'm Dino Cavallone. Nice to meet you!"
"Hn." Hibari said nonchalantly. He sorted through the files and pulled out a black one. "Dino Cavallone, 16 years old, citizen of Italy, migrated to Japan, currently staying in Namimori." He fixed a pair of cobalt eyes onto the blond who suddenly burst out laughing happily.
"Wow, seems like you're a stalker."
"Don't imagine it. Take this." He passed a neatly written schedule to the blond and accidentally dropped the letter, every words visible to their eyes. Dino grinned from ear-to-ear. "So, you have received it?" He picked up the paper and waved high.
"...What do you..." Suddenly, everything clicked to his mind. Hibari's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"So, what do you feel? Touchy? Happy? Lovey? Or...sexy?" Dino wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"I don't know what I feel but I know what you'll feel." Hibari raised his tonfas. The blond blinked at the sudden prepared onslaught.
"Eh?"
"Better recite your prayers. BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL DEADLY SOON!" Hibari slammed his tonfas onto Dino's head and took his collar as he threw his weapons onto the floor. He dragged the blond out of his room and threw him to the corridor, face-first on the cement floor.
"Ouch...Hibari...you're going to destroy my charming and seductive handsome face..." Dino rubbed his bruised nose and mentally sobbed.
"Be thankful that you're still breathing." Hibari said before slamming the door shut, leaving the blond alone at the corridor.
"Cruel, Kyoya. Really cruel." He muttered while pouting.

"Kufufu~ How's my little Kyoya today?" A cheerful voice cooed by the window. A pineapple-haired head popped out and a Mukuro Rokudo grinned cheerfully.
"Fine."
"You're too cold. Come, let's hug and increase your decreasing temperature!" He opened his arm widely despite aware of the cold aura emitted from the head prefect. Hibari stared at him, his eyes read, "Get lost."
"Oh Kyoya! You have broken my heart to pieces! I feel those misery and sorrow dancing in my heart now~!" Putting a hand over his left chest, he faked a dramatic heartbroken expression but Hibari only shoved a fist an inch near Mukuro's eye. The other teen immediately stopped all the acting and stared intently at his friend.
"Why are you looking at me?" Hibari asked without looking away from the file.
"In a bad mood?"
"No. I'm very happy now. Can't you see?" Hibari glared at Mukuro. Mukuro giggled. "You look like you're 5 seconds before killing someone. What's wrong? You can tell me."
"You're unreliable."
"I'm sad." Mukuro said seriously.
"Who cares. Now, please leave me alone." Hibari took another stack of papers and began signing the application forms.
"Ok, fine." Mukuro sighed and hopped down from the window.
After a few hours typing on his computer, Hibari writhed silently. He scanned around the room and a slight glinting of metal on the floor near the door caught his interest. He stood up and walked closer as he inspected it.
"Oh, a necklace?" He picked the necklace up and examined the pendant. The only one entering here was Kusakabe and Cavallone. Probably this is Cavallone's... The beautifully carved crystal pendant traced slowly into his mind. It was familiar to him. So familiar. But he just couldn't recall anything. Seriously, was it my illusion or even that herbivore looks really familiar to me? Hibari asked himself and sighed.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Oh my goddddd! What on earth happened to you, boss?" Romario cried frantically at the self-tending Dino Cavallone.
"Got ran over by a truck." Dino said simply, applying a plaster on the bridge of his nose.
"Did Kyoya-san beat you up?" Romario inspected the bruises.
"No, I just fucked Kyo-chan up." Dino, clearly annoyed with the obvious facts and theories in the lecture, decided to groan.
"I told you not to send the love letter, didn't I? All this wouldn't happen if you listen to me at the first place! Look at your face! I can feel the awful pain by just seeing it!"
Dino rolled his eyes. "You should be on radio, Romario."
"Eh, why-"
"Then at least I can turn you off." He continued, eyes obviously showing annoyance and that totally shut Romario up. Dino sighed as Hibari's face kept on replaying in his mind, not noticing that a group of girls was looking and giggling at him.
You've not changed a bit, Kyo-chan.

"Hey, everyone! Good morning! Say hi to our new classmate!" Their homeroom teacher, Ms Kaori announced cheerfully and Dino bowed at the 'welcome' gesture he received from her.
"Ciao~ I'm Dino Cavallone from Italy. Nice to meet everyone." He smiled charmingly, complete with roses and shining background. Every girls turned jelly-ish and some already melted into puddle. Hibari groaned. Girls.
"You'll sit next to Hibari-chan- any problem?" Ms Kaori grinned.
"I'll be really glad to!" Dino quickly answered. Ms Kaori grinned wider. "Good! Now, take out your Science text book and we'll be learning about males and females' reproductive system today! Woo~ That's my favourite chapter!"
Everyone except Hibari and Dino groaned and fainted as some already ran to toilet, their nose bleeding massively.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Ms Kaori blinked. "Do you know what's happening, Hibari-chan, Cavallone-kun?"
They both shook their head and each focused onto their book, sweating profusely. Well, no matter how scary or brave you're, Sex Education will always beat you to pulp.

"What ya' doing, Kyoya?" Dino asked happily. He settled himself beside the prefect and grinned brightly.
"None of your business."
"Ne, do you want some bread?" Dino offered a nicely wrapped cinnamon-flavored bread. "They're superb. I bought them from the shop opposite our school."
"No, thank you."
"What about library? Let's go toge-"
"I prefer alone."
"Kufufu~ Who're you? Are you trying to flirt with my little Kyoya?" Mukuro appeared beside Hibari all of a sudden, staring darkly at Dino.
"Who're you?" Flirt? Little Kyoya? Dino glared at the teen. Both their eyes shot intensify electricity and the background turned dark suddenly.
"If you're going to fight, do it outside." Hibari interrupted while solving the third fractional question. Dino and Mukuro snapped out from their eyes-staring contest and stared at him.
"Cavallone, this is Mukuro Rokudo. Mukuro, this is Dino Cavallone. Now get the hell lost." Hibari took another exercise book and began solving the first question.
"Heh? Sounds like Casserole to me." Mukuro scoffed. Dino narrowed his eyes. "What about you, pineapple?"
Mukuro glared. "You should be cooked as Dinosaur Casserole, Cavallone."
"What about you? You're best eaten with mayonnaise. Pineapple Salad."
"I'm going to cook the both of you if you do not shut up in these 5 seconds." Hibari threatened, his eyes blazed venomously.
The both of them immediately shut up but they're still fighting mentally. Before Dino could voice any retort, a group of girls suddenly waltzed beside them.
"Anou...Hibari-san, can we borrow Dino-kun for a moment?" A long-haired girl asked, blushing.
"You can borrow him forever, I don't mind."
"Kyoya-"
"Arigatou, Hibari-san!" The girl bowed happily and pulled Dino with her.
"The Casserole is really popular." Mukuro commented. Hibari did not pay a damn to it and continued focusing on his Mathematics questions.
"Rest a bit, Kyo! You're too uptight! See- your shoulders are really tensed!" Mukuro snatched the book away.
"Give me back and I'm resting now." He tried to reach for the book but to no avail as Mukuro waved it high.
"Don't lie. Now, eat this." Mukuro took a lunch box out and placed it onto Hibari's table.
"No thanks."
"Eat." He opened the cover and a delicious aroma danced out. Hibari's stomach growled suddenly. The boy blushed.
"See?" Mukuro grinned. "You're hungry."
"This is all your bleeding fault." Hibari said and took the chopsticks offered to him as he began clamping the tamagoyaki and chewing it gingerly. Mukuro smiled at the adorable look of the prefect.
On the other hand, Dino, who was leaning against the wall, watching the scenario was completely shocked at the scene. His eyes dulled sadly and a hand grazed on the wall. "How did you change Kyoya, pineapple...? How could you make him listen to you without retorting back to you...?" He stared at his own shoes and sighed in misery, completely ignoring the sobbing girl behind him.
"I hate you, Dino Cavallone! I really hate you!" The girl shouted and ran away, passing a few classes. Dino stared emotionlessly at the scene and focused back to his Kyoya. Sorry, my heart is open to Kyo-chan only.

"Why are you following me?" Hibari finally snapped as he was being followed by Dino all way from the school till now.
"I'm going home." Dino answered innocently.
Hibari stopped by an apartment. "Where did you stay?"
"Here."
"..."
After 5 minutes of silence, leaves blowing and crickets chirping, Hibari finally released a loud, 'WHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT?'.
"Don't tell me that you're my neighbor."
"If you're living on the third floor, then hi, neighbor." The blond answered.
"...I'm moving." Hibari said, entering the lift with the sulking boy.
"Mou..." Dino pouted.
"Wait- is this yours?" Hibari took out the necklace from his pocket and dangled it to the blond's sight. Dino blinked.
"...Yes..." He suddenly beamed. "I thought I lost it! Thanks, Kyoya!" Dino jumped happily and without his realization, he kissed Hibari's cheek. The atmosphere in the lift suddenly went quiet and three seconds later—
"DINO CAVALLONE! WHAT THE PERVERT HELL ARE YOU BLOODY DOING?"
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BLESS ME, KYOYA! I'M !"
XXXXXXXXX
*ding, dong* *ding, dong* *ding, dong* *ding, dong* *ding—
"Are you trying to destroy my door bell?" Hibari asked furiously as he opened the door.
"Ah, gomen! I thought there's no one! Gomen!" Dino apologized. Hibari sighed and asked impatiently, "Is that all?"
"Err...can I enter?"
"Why?"
"I just want to...visit you..."
Hibari sighed again. "If you don't mind there's someone else staying here, then come in."
"THANK YOU!" Dino beamed happily. He sat himself onto the leather couch and stared at the Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban playing on the television. Kyo-chan watches these movies? He giggled mentally.
"Kyo! Where's my underwear and boxer?" A familiar voice roared from the bathroom on the edge of the kitchen. Dino jumped. Was that...
"I don't know!"
"How am I going to walk out from the bathroom?" ...Mukuro...?
"Do it naked then!" Hibari exited the kitchen and placed the tea pot set with freshly-scented Oolong onto the coffee table located in the middle of the living room and walked into the kitchen again, growling.
After few moments of silence, the bathroom's door slammed open, a Mukuro Rokudo stepped out, with his towel-wrapped head and half-naked body (he (or Hibari) finally found his underwear and boxer). Dino's eyes widened. Oh no. The pineapple again.
"Oya? Dino Casserole?" Mukuro blinked at the appearance of the blond.
"Pineapple Salad."
"Hi."
"Hi."
The leaves rustled and the wind blew. Mukuro and Dino were still staring at each other.
"What are you doing here?"
"I stay here." Mukuro answered, deadpanned.
"Oh."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?" Dino gaped. "You're staying WITH KYOYA?" The blond shouted.
"Yeap."
"That can't be true!"
"Sadly, that's true."
"I can't believe it."
"Then close your eyes, go home and dream."
"I don't believe it."
"You have to."
"You're lying."
"You're imagining it."
"The reality IS TOO CRUELLLLLLLL!"
"Always is."
Dino let out another frustrated scream. Mukuro smirked.
"Don't tell me you bedded Kyoya too!" Dino suddenly accused. Mukuro's eyes widened. Bedded? His surprised emotion evolved into a sly expression. "Who won't? Especially when he's too tempting at night, wearing all those thin and oversized clothes just to lure my lust. We're planning to do it later, you know? Hmm~ it's so ecstatic to hear him moaning my name over and over again and chanting, 'Oh, I love you, Mukuro, I really love you,' Aahh~"
Dino felt as if every core in his heart crushed, shattered like thousand pieces of glasses that cut his heart in every pump. He looked down. No wonder Kyoya always treating me differently than this pineapple...
"Fine. Sorry for interrupting." Dino rushed out, tears forming in his eyes as he ran into the lift, missing the smirking face of the pineapple-haired boy. So this was people called- one-sided love...
