As the sun was rising lazily its rays illuminated whole Namimori, waking up the town. The sky was clear with some little clouds and the wind blew calmly, as if it was too tired after the morning. Some people already got up and were shoveling away the snow from the roads to their homes.
Near the certain Japanese mansion were birds singing and looking inside the house curiously through the open window, waking up the brunette from his slumber. Tsuna opened his eyes heavily and blinked few times. After rubbing them he wondered if he should try to sleep some more, while yawning deeply, but soon he realized he's not alone on the futon. He felt two strong arms holding him, legs interwoven together with longer ones and warm breathing in his hair.
It was a bit hot, but Tsuna didn't mind and instead snuggled closer, chuckling. He had his head placed right next to prefect's neck, so he could see his collarbones and when he peeked at his exposed chest his face turned red. Suddenly Hibari's chest moved when he breathed in deeply, startling the brunette, who thought the skylark found out about his peeking.
Tsuna let out relieved sigh and dared to touch Hibari's chest carefully. When nothing happened, the brunette grinned and brushed over prefect's body slowly, enjoying that exciting and warm feeling in his hands and heart. 'I want to see his sleeping face, but what if I wake him up by moving my head? Hibari-san hates waking up, so it would be quite troublesome…but I really want to see it…'
After this internal fight, Tsuna extra carefully and extremely slowly moved his head and lifted it to see the face of his dearest one. 'He looks so calm! Damn, why am I so excited just from seeing his sleeping face? ...would he notice if I touched him a little?' he thought while lifting his hand towards prefect's face. His fingertips were just few millimeters from Hibari's cheek, when suddenly he opened his eyes, looking at Tsuna's shocked and then quite embarrassed expression.
"What are you doing, Tsunayoshi?" he asked. The brunette frozed for a moment but soon his face blushed crazily.
"I-...it-it's not wha-what you think, H-Hibari-san! I-... I was j-just…" shaking his hands furiously, Tsuna stuttered with difficulty.
"I thought, that you're going to get up, since you stopped moving your hands."
"Wait! W-what?! You mean you were awake the whole time?!"
"Yeah, I was and I have to admit it was quite pleasant." Hibari said with his usual stoic face as if there wasn't anything weird about it.
'WAAA! What should I do?! This is so embarrassing!' Tsuna clenched his hair, hiding his face in the sheets, but then Hibari's hand touched his head gently, so he glanced at him shyly. In that moment Hibari moved closer and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
"I'll prepare breakfast so come in 10 minutes to the living room." he said smiling and ruffling brunette's hair. After he left, Tsuna sat up, touching his forehead and feeling his cheeks boiling. Gradually an uncontrollable grin formed on his face. 'Well at least he liked my touch…'
When he folded up the sheets, he went to the bathroom to wash his face and fix his yukata and obi. It was more than a week since Hibari took him in and let him live with him. Tsuna thought that he would get his own room, but the prefect only told him which rooms he's not allowed to enter and ordered him to sleep with him from now on. The brunette of course didn't mind it, cause he liked the skylark very much, but what he thought was gratitude was actually something more than that.
After coming to the living room which was at the same time a kitchen, cause there were kitchen units, fridge, oven and lots of cupboards with shelves. The kitchen was separated from the rest on the room by more kitchen units with high bar stools. Hibari, who was finishing breakfast, looked him and pointed at the teapot and two cups on one kitchen unit behind him.
"Take it to the table."
"Hai!" Tsuna smiled and carefully grabbed them, carrying them on the table where he placed them on their usual places. "What are we having for breakfast, Hibari-san?"
"Natto and a fried eggs on rice with miso soup." he said while frying the eggs.
"Can I help you?" Tsuna quickly jumped up with enthusiastic smile.
"Just take these bowls with soup and wait, I'm almost done." the prefect swiftly threw the eggs on both bowls of rice, covering it and turned off the cooker. When he took them to table, both of them sat down, clapped their hands and with typical 'itadakimasu' started eating.
"Mmmm! It's delicious, Hibari-san!" the brunette rhapsodized with enjoying smile, making Hibari smirk. As they kept eating, Tsuna remembered something and gulped, glancing at the skylark.
"By the way I wanted to ask….well it's more like a proposal but I hoped you wouldn't mind…" he mumbled nervously. Hibari watched his restless fidgeting and his chaotic mutter irritated him.
"Spit it out, Tsunayoshi, or I'll bite you to death!" the prefect glared at him dangerously, narrowing his eyes and clenching the chop-sticks. Tsuna squeaked and looked like some pale little animal backed into a corner.
"HIII! H-hai! Well I hoped that we could go to New Years festival tonight… I know you hate crowds, Hibari-san, but still I was hoping that maybe at least for just 5 minutes, you would be willing to take me there…"
Hibari stared at the brunette and could easily guess, how much did Tsuna want to go with that hopeful expression and eyes resembling one's of some puppy. He sighed and put down the chop-sticks. "I was planning to go there anyway, since I patrol the festival every year."
"So we're going?"
Nodding calmly, the prefect took a cup of tea and started drinking slowly, while he watched Tsuna's reaction. The brunette jumped up in raptures about Hibari's unexpected agreement, laughing with sparkling eyes and bright smile. "Thank you, Hibari-san! I can't wait for tonight!"
"That's good then." Hibari said simply and felt his heart skip a beat, when he saw Tsuna's adorable jumping.
After they finished their meal, Hibari left Tsuna to take care about the dishes, leaving the room because of a call. While the brunette washed the bowls, he was thinking about the festival with stupid grin. At first he was really curious about skylark's phone calls, so later he dared to ask about it and was quite surprised, how easily the prefect shared this information with him. Now that he knew that those calls were from Hibari's subordinates, who patrolled the streets of Namimori, he was no longer interested in it.
Just when Tsuna washed the last bowl, the skylark came back this time wearing long black coat with scarf instead of yukata.
"I'm heading out. Stay here, while I'm not home, do you understand, Tsunayoshi?" he ordered authoritatively.
"Hai!" the brunette nodded and followed him to see him out. "Have a safe trip, Hibari-san!" he smiled brightly with shiny aura surrounding him. The prefect glanced at him and quickly grabbing his hand, he drew Tsuna closer, pressing his lips on brunette's, licking them and biting. Tsuna gasped, surprised by his action and clenched Hibari's coat nervously, feeling the blood rushing to his face. Hibari, using the brunette's gasp, slid his slick tongue inside Tsuna's hot cavern, brushing over everything in his way and playing with Tsuna's muscle. The brunette let out weak moan as he felt the skylark deepening his kiss and wanted to kiss him back, but didn't get a chance, because Hibari suddenly broke their kiss, smirking lustfully.
"I'll be leaving now." he sneered at Tsuna, who was still blushing from the 'goodbye kiss' with a little bit of saliva in the corner of his mouth and left. The brunette stood there for a while, touching his lips and thinking that there's no way he will get used to this.
'But I wonder, why is Hibari-san kissing me like that… I think kiss is supposed to be done between lovers and I'm only his 'animal' so why? ...well it really feels good so I guess he does it because he likes it. Still I wonder why am I always so nervous?' he thought while he went back to the kitchen.
The brunette, since he started living with the prefect, was so grateful to him for becoming a human, that he didn't really mind being his animal, sleeping beside him every night or kissing. He liked Hibari from the moment, he first saw him - at the beginning he only admired him from afar, but after their first meeting and kiss he unconsciously started developing stronger feelings which he mistook for gratitude. Because of his inexperience in love he didn't know, he was actually in love with the skylark and that's how he ended up wondering, why was he feeling so weird towards Hibari when all he did was expressing and feeling gratitude…
When he entered the kitchen, sitting on the bar stool and resting his head on his palm, he looked out of the window, thinking about their kiss again. "I should stop thinking about it and do something useful…" he mumbled with long sigh. Image of Hibari made him blush and wonder when will he be back.
"Hibari-san is usually back around 12 o'clock so till that time is there something I could do? ….wait! I got it! I'll cook lunch for him! He always cooks for me, so if I do it from now on, he'll be more relaxed right?" Tsuna jumped up from the bar stool, excited about his idea.
"It shouldn't be too hard to prepare something. After all there has to be some kind of book with recipes somewhere, so once I find it, I'll start!" he said to himself and leaving the room, he went to the library the prefect showed him before, when he showed him around the house.
The library was in quite cozy room, which walls were covered with countless of shelves full of books. One wall was empty with large window and there were chair with small table near it. 'I can totally imagine Hibari-san sitting here and reading.' he thought with shy smile. The brunette shook his head and started to look for the recipes. After a half of an hour he finally found the book he wanted and so he came to the kitchen and sat on the bar stool again.
'Yosh! Let's find something easy, since it's my first time cooking!' he thought enthusiastically as he browsed through the book. Soon one recipe caught his eyes. 'This looks quite easy and at the same time delicious! It's called Curry rice and I think Hibari-san cooked it once. Ok, let's go with this!' the brunette decided and went to prepare ingredients.
While he let the cooker took care of rice, he cut up the onions and diced the carrots. As he was dicing the vegetable, he cut himself and later when he was cooking the onions, he burnt his hand. "Waaa! I didn't expect it to be so hard!" Tsuna whined. After some more hardships he managed to finish the curry, but unfortunately with burnt onion and so the whole curry was kinda bitter.
"There's no way Hibari-san will like it…" he sighed and looked at his wounds a little depressed. "I'll treat my hands and then I'll try one more time."
Tsuna bandaged his hands sloppily and on his way back to the kitchen, he looked at the garden full of snow and in that moment a sudden urge to enter the garden and look around called for him. He loved that place, so he liked to wander around and just enjoy the sound of shishioshi and flowing water a lot. 'I'll just take a short walk to that bridge and back. It shouldn't take much time, so I think looking for shoes is pointless.' he decided and opened the sliding door.
With one quick jump, he landed to the snow barefoot, laughing and running around happily, completely ignoring the growing numbness in his feet. When the brunette calmed down, he went towards the bridge and stopped there for a moment to take a deep breath and listen to the sounds around him. Bright smile grew on his face and he thought that the only thing that's missing to make him truly happy is Hibari.
Suddenly the cold breeze started blowing, making his whole body shiver. "Time to go back." he whispered and wanted to turn around, but when he moved his legs, he felt how numb and cold they were, making them unable to use. The brunette fell on the ground to the soft snow and as he was standing up his hands hurt, but soon the coldness took over them, causing that Tsuna lost the feeling in them.
'What's going on?! Normally I didn't have this kind of problem with snow before, so how come? Is it because I have a human body now?' he wondered and felt growing panic within his mind. 'I have to go back right away!'
Tsuna gulped and his heart beat faster and faster as the fear from dying to freezing appeared. He tried to stand up, but as soon as he took one step his legs gave up and let him fall again. Whining desperately, the brunette glanced at the opened sliding door and wished the skylark showed up, saving him, but even after waiting a bit, the prefect didn't come. 'I can't wait anymore! I can already hardly move my legs at all, so I have to crawl there!'
Slowly moving forward, Tsuna dragged his legs behind him, only using his arms. His teeth were chattering uncontrollably and body quivering, because of coldness surrounding him. It was as if thousands of needles were piercing him, but somewhat he didn't feel anything, only exhaustion. To the brunette it seemed as if the house was with his every move further and further and by the time, he wondered if he's moving at all…
'How far? Even the thinking is starting to be exhausting…' Tsuna lifted his head and a big relief cleared his mind a little, when he noticed a veranda right in front of him. He gathered all of his left strength and slowly sat up, holding onto the wooden veranda and trying to swing up, but vainly. 'I'm so close! What should I do?'
The brunette propped on his elbows and swung up again and just when he was about to fall, two warm hands caught him, pulling him up and quickly closing the door. Tsuna looked at his savior and smiled faintly, when he saw his beloved skylark, holding him like princess and taking inside the house. 'I knew he would save me!' was what he thought as he watched Hibari in daze.
What happened next was like he watched his body being taken care of from afar. The prefect warmed him up in the hot bath, then dressed him in clean and dry yukata and finally took him to the living room, where was already waiting for them hot tea. It was at that time, when Tsuna started being himself again - he was sitting at the table on Hibari's lap, leaning towards his chest. Of course he knew it all along, but only now he fully understood his situation.
"H-Hi-Hibari-san?" he let out nervous squeak. 'Omg! He saw me! He saw my naked body and washed it! And now I'm sitting with him like this! This is so embarrassing! What should I do?!'
"Tsunayoshi, what were you doing there?" Tsuna shivered and paled, when he heard prefect's icy voice, which seemed to him even colder than outside. He didn't even need to see his face to know just how terribly angry he was.
The brunette gulped and looked down. "I-...I'm very sorry, Hibari-san. I only wanted to take a short walk to the bridge and back and I thought I could handle the cold, since I have never had a problems with it before, but I forgot that human body isn't so strong against coldness…" he said and felt ashamed of himself. "I'm really sorry….and thank you very much for saving me."
Long sigh escaped the prefect' lips and the tension and anger slowly drifted away from him. He ruffled Tsuna's hair gently, surprising him. "If I ever find you like that again, I'll seriously bite you to death!" he just said.
"Hai! I'll be careful from now on!" the brunette nodded, still depressed from his own stupidity and that he made the skylark worried. He kept looking down until Hibari's words reached him.
"...it's good you're not sick from it…" Hibari kept brushing his fingers through brunette's hair and felt very calm and nice just sitting there with him. He was glad nothing bad happened - not only it would be troublesome, but it would make him pretty upset if his little animal was sad, that it couldn't go to the festival.
Tsuna looked straight ahead, touched by prefect's words. 'Does it mean he's happy I'm alright?' he thought and it was as if something inside his chest ached because of untold feelings for the prefect. "You know, Hibari-san, the whole time I was out there, trying to get back home, I believed you would come for me… and when you really saved me, I was so happy! ...again thank you very much!" In that moment Tsuna wanted to turn around and see Hibari's face, but didn't have the courage to do so, because of his flushed cheeks.
The skylark remained silent and after a while he wrapped his hands around the brunette and rested his head on Tsuna's, mumbling something that Tsuna thought was 'don't thank me' or something like that. The brunette stiffed immediately and his face got gradually darker color. He could feel prefect's breathing in his hair and movement of his chest, his strong hands touching him gently and basically his whole body pressed on his, warming him and making his heart go crazy.
'Hiiii! What should I do? We're so close! I know it's the same when we're sleeping, but this is different! I mean at night I'm something like his pillow, but now!? ...I don't understand at all, not even my heart anymore!' he panicked and nervousness made his body shake uncontrollably.
"Hm? Oi, Tsunayoshi, are you still feeling cold?" Hibari asked suddenly and the brunette flinched after hearing his low-pitched voice, blushing. 'Damn, I'm making him worry. I should do something!' he thought and tried to calm down, but vainly because of skylark's hand, touching his forehead. "It looks like you have fever…"
"It's not like that!" Tsuna shouted, trying to clear the misunderstanding. "It's because of you…" he whispered, fidgeting nervously.
"What do you mean?"
"...I-..I mean ex-exactly, what I said… You-...you're making me n-nervous! ..it's-..it's because Hibari-san is hol-..holding m-me…" he said with awfully quiet voice, embarrassed by it. The brunette heard Hibari laugh a little and then suddenly he bit his ear.
"Then I'll make you even more nervous." he whispered directly into his ear, biting and licking it. His hands slipped under Tsuna's clothes and brushed over his body slowly, while he started kissing brunette's neck, leaving there bunch of hickeys. Tsuna couldn't stop a moan escaping his lips and it seemed to him as if Hibari was trying to burn him from his touch. He closed his eyes, enjoying that feeling but soon he felt like kissing and touching the prefect too.
"Turn around." Hibari ordered, lifting his hands and helping him to sit on his lap again, this time facing him. Tsuna, embarrassed by his obviously red face, looked down, letting his hair cover him. The skylark didn't say anything and gently caressed his little animal, who glanced at him shyly and slowly closed the space between them, kissing him. The brunette opened his mouth and let Hibari's tongue in at first allowing him to do whatever he wanted, but then carefully trying to taste prefect's cavern too. Hibari noticed his intentions and let him be for a couple of minutes, before pushing him back and dominating over him completely again. He deepened his kiss, playing with Tsuna's tongue and absorbing his light moans.
While their kiss grew more passionate by a second, Tsuna felt Hibari's hands under his yukata again, so he touched him with his shaking hand too and slowly slipped his both hands under skylark's clothes. He felt Hibari's muscular chest moving and it excited him to the point, he tried to get nearer to him. Hibari suddenly shifted his one hand, grabbing Tsuna's butt and moved it even closer, making him moan loudly when he touched him like that. In that moment the brunette gasped as he felt something hard under him and as it made his private parts feel somewhat weird. 'What is this? W-why is my...penis...feeling so strange?' he wondered and the unknown urge to do something with it overcame him. Tsuna moved his hips slowly and brushed over Hibari's hard member again, which made him moan into prefect's mouth. Hibari sucked on his tongue and while still holding Tsuna's butt, so he wouldn't move further from him, he pressed it more against him, making their hard members rub against each other. Hibari groaned contently and started moving his hand on brunette's chest more and more down, when in an instant both of them frozed, because of unexpected intruder.
"Kyo-san, sorry for intruding. I'm here to report on situation in Namimori and on New Years festival." said the voice calmly, waiting behind the sliding door. Tsuna glanced over prefect's shoulder at tall silhouette curiously, wondering who could it be and then looking at Hibari for some kind of clue.
Tsuna immediately reconsidered and stayed silent, when he saw Hibari's eyes narrowing dangerously and his teeth grinding. The brunette got off him without saying anything and watching the skylark nervously, he sat down. Hibari stood up and fixed his clothes, while emitting murderous aura.
"Wait for me in my workroom." he growled with voice so cold, that the temperature in the room dropped by few degrees. The intruder apparently found out, that he pissed off Hibari, because he quickly went, where he was ordered to. The prefect let out annoyed sigh, clenching his fists and went towards the door and when he opened them, he just said Tsuna to wait for him here and left without even looking at him.
Tsuna was staring at the closed sliding door for a while and then he lied down on the floor, looking at the ceiling and thinking about what did just happen. When he was thinking about their intimate moment, it made his heart beat madly again and his cheeks blush. 'I still can't believe something like this happened! It was so exciting and pleasant!' he thought, holding his face with stupid grin.
'But why did Hibari-san do it? ...and why was I feeling like that? I want to ask Hibari-san about it, but...it's so embarrassing! ….well if I don't ask him, I won't know anything, so I'll try later.' he decided, but there was one more thing that bugged him. 'Who was that person? He suddenly appeared here out of nowhere, calling Hibari-san by his first name. It looks like they're close, since he can enter the house just like that…' he wondered, feeling worries filling his mind.
'Even though it seems he's only Hibari-san's subordinate, why am I so worried and annoyed?'
