30 SECRETS
o9. sunburn
Hibari is the cloud that floats effortlessly overhead, cold and aloof. Naturally, Hibari is untouchable and isolated.
Ryohei is the sun that blazes, light and warmth gracing all who are near him. Naturally, Ryohei is a tactile person.
Despite Hibari's repeated threats about crowding, the sun guardian continues to casually brush past him, or touch a hand to a bent elbow, or sling an arm around tense shoulders. Once, he dared to ruffle Hibari's raven hair.
Every time Ryohei's hand brushes against Hibari, he leaves a burning impression behind, a yearning for more of the sun guardian's irrepressible heat.
Wanting to rely on someone, for any reason, is a sign of weakness. Hibari is not weak; he will not succumb. Instead of leaning into Ryohei's touch, or tilting his head to the side to brush his lips against Ryohei's face, Hibari pulls out his tonfa and resorts to familiar violence – a punishment to himself for his weakness, and to Ryohei for making him weak.
Hibari will never admit to needing someone. If it remains unspoken, it remains unreal.
