Hello~

I was going to upload this chapter yesterday, but I gave up at 1 A.m., my headache too much for me. Instead, I uploaded it today.

I'll be trying to update every Friday or Saturday. However, I'm quite positive that there would be slip-ups.

Disclaimer: If I owned HR, I would have been so happy. But I don't, so I'm still miserable.

Sorry for grammar mistakes, OOC-ness and too much Past Perfect *Finally learnt how to use it properly*


Chapter 2

Soft steps on the carpet woke him up. He was probably half-awake, hearing those quiet sounds. Opening one eye, he scanned the room he was in; the closet was closed, the books were on the dresser, his bag was on the chair in the corner, no change. The only change in the room was that the clean and organized sheets beside him were now messy, indicating someone was sleeping next to him. Thinking of that person made the brunette blush. What else could he do after remembering he spent the night sleeping next to Hibari?

The moment he thought about him, the prefect walked into the room and stopped at the entrance. 'Speaking of the devil' Tsuna thought and mentally chuckled. Now that he was busted, he decided to wake up completely.

He got up lazily into a sitting position. Yawning cutely, he rubbed his right eye with his hand, the other gripping the thick blanket. Noticing his shirt had ridden up during the night, he pulled it down, covering his abdomen. When he decided he looked appropriate, he looked at the teen that stood at the entrance of the room. Smiling slightly, he tilted his head to the right and said with a sleepy voice, "Good morning, Hibari-san."

The several actions he had took certainly effected the other teen. His normally composed façade was gone, replaced by a not-at-all-common expression. His body was tensed, almost frozen. His eyes were looking at the wall behind the brunette, but they were empty as if his mind wasn't really there. His lips were pressed together into a straight line, not a sound coming out of his mouth. After a moment of staring, the raven-haired teen shook his head slightly, and focused on what was going on before him. He extended his arm towards the boy on the bed. "Breakfast." He had simply said before he pulled the smaller teen to the kitchen.

Once out of the room, the scent of eggs filled Tsun'a nostrils. On the tables were two plates with omelets and one glass of orange juice. He never thought of the prefect as a cooker, but it looked and smelled good. They sat in front of each other and started eating, each from his own plate.

Tsuna was uncomfortable, the feeling increasing with every passing moment, every moment he felt the other's gaze on him. When it just started, he didn't think about it too much, he just ignored it. However, when the glance turned into a stare, his cheeks got red in embarrassment. He tried eating differently, thinking he was doing something wrong, but the eyes didn't leave him. He tried cleaning his face, thinking something was on it, but it didn't change a thing. He tried eating slower, but that only made him upset.

After he had glanced a few times through his eyelashes at the other, he realized the taller teen was really looking at him, here and there eating a bite from his food. Seeing the grey-blue eyes on him only made him blush even more and he looked back at his food. Finally, after gathering his courage, he asked, "Is something wrong?"

The prefect shook his head slightly, signaling nothing was wrong. Letting the issue go, he reached for the glass of orange juice that was in front of him. However, nervous Tsuna plus a glass full of fluids equals not good. The brunette accidentally knocked over the glass, the juice spilling all over the table and the prefect.

"I'm sorry!" The brunette called when both of them stood up. It seemed like the raven-haired teen didn't mind it, taking off his soaked shirt without complaining. The two white, big band-aids on his abdomen caught Tsuna's attention; the higher one, on the left side of the other's stomach, looked normal: a white band-aid with a tint of silver underneath it. The second was on his right side, just a little bit underneath his bellybutton. That one had an orange shade after being drenched in orange juice.

"Continue eating." Hibari had said before leaving to the bathroom, probably to change the wet band-aid. The boy he left behind continued staring into space while the picture of the band-aids on the prefect's abdomen brought back old memories, like the memory of Hibari lying on the floor, bleeding. It also brought up the picture of the injured teen getting into and out of the Emergency Room, once with open wounds and once with bandages. It brought the picture of him lying unconscious on the hospital bed as well. All those bad memories from the past came back from just looking at it. However, he couldn't live in the past. Therefore, he resumed his former activities and finished his breakfast.

The morning and noon passed slowly with Hibari reading his book and Tsuna trying to occupy himself. While the sun was high in the sky, the brunette reached his limit. He was genuinely bored and with the other reading, he had nothing to do. Desperate, he leaned towards the other and rested his chin on the other teen's shoulder. Sighing, the prefect closed his book and said, "Tsunayoshi," A piercing gaze was sent to said teen, "You can't disturb people every time you're bored." He scolded.

"But, Hibari-san…" He whined, not bothering to finish the sentence because he knew that statement was correct. He had to find something to do by himself. He watched as the raven-haired teen opened his book once more and started reading. He observed, fascinated, at the narrow blue-grey eyes as they scanned the page slowly, reading and taking in each word and each sentence. He observed as a single pale finger slowly traced the edges of the sheet before flipping the page. He observed at how he breathed silently, the air going in and out of his lungs without a single sound. He continued examining the other, noticing every little movement he made while reading. Unconsciously, he leaned forward slightly with every little twitch. Within several minutes, he found himself staring at the prefect's lips, half leaning towards him. In the heat of the moment, he put one hand on Hibari's arm and the other on his cheek, turning his face to look at him. Then, he leaned the rest of the way and gently pressed their lips together.

The quite sudden action caught the prefect a little off-guard. One moment he was reading his book, and a moment later he was being kissed by the small teen next to him. The shock didn't last long before he quickly regained his senses. He had put his hand on the other's slim waist before taking over the kiss. The kiss itself was unexpected, but he was completely taken aback when the other actually fought for dominance. When the prefect started kissing back, the soft pressure from the other got stronger, making the soft kiss into a passionate battle for dominance.

A surge of confidence shot threw Tsuna after initiating the kiss, making him more aspiring then ever. Instead of letting Hibari guide the kiss, he tried fighting over the leading of it, and a fierce battle began. The longer the fight went on, the harder it was to stay down at earth. The feeling of those lips on his made his head spin and his entire body felt like he was going to heaven. His hands moved to rest on Hibari's nape, pulling him closer into the kiss. He even moved so he was actually sitting on Hibari's lap, his knees at each side of the other's legs. With the new position, the battle got even fiercer.

When the need for air couldn't be ignored any more, they both parted, stopping the kiss. They panted heavily, gulping down air. Tsuna's head was spinning and he had trouble focusing on the other because of his need for oxygen. When he was more refreshed, he got ready for another round.

However, when the kiss started again, the prefect tried something new. Before the battle even got as ferocious as before, the brunette felt something against his lower lip. It was very warm and wet as it moved over his lip, as if asking for something. When he realized it was actually the other's tongue, he gasped in surprise, giving the raven-haired teen the access he wanted. The wet muscle started exploring his wet cavern, memorizing every part of it. He memorized what places made the smaller teen shudder, what places made him melt into his arm and what places made his moan into the kiss.

The feeling of the prefect's tongue in his mouth made the kiss even better than before. It sent shudders down his back, making him lose his focus every time it happened. When it got to one specific place, he couldn't stop the needy sound that came out of his throat. Even though it was muffled by the other's mouth on his, he still didn't miss the sound that indicated the brunette's enjoyment, making the raven-haired teen smirk. Tsuna started moving his tongue with Hibari's, turning the memorizing into a dance between the two muscles.

This time, they didn't even noticed they were out of breath until the smaller teen collapsed onto the other, head crashing into the other's chin. He desperately gasped for air, his vision blurry and his head feeling lighter than it should be. When his vision cleared again, he could see a couple of grey-blue eyes filled with worry looking into his caramel orbs. The brunette smiled at him, exhausted from their actions. He grabbed the prefect's shoulders and, with his help, he lifted himself back to his former sitting position.

"We should stop." Hibari said when the smaller teen managed to move again. After he almost fainted, the brunette couldn't protest against the idea. Instead, he nodded, his disappointment showing on his face. Chuckling, the raven-haired teen gave him a peck on his lips. "We'll continue when you're feeling better." He suggested, the other agreeing enthusiastically. Just when he was about to give him another peck, the light flickered a few times before going off, leaving the room only half lightened by the windows. The prefect frowned.

"If you would lift me up, I think I can get to it and change the light bulb." Tsuna suggested, looking up the lamp. Missing the mischievous smirk that flashed on the other's face, he got off the other teen and waited while he went to bring an alternative light bulb.

When he got back with the item, they started working. Hibari wrapped his arms around the brunette's knees, supporting his weight as he lifted him into the air. At first, he brunette held onto the other's shoulders to keep him balanced until he reached the lamp, then he had to let go and start working. However, it seemed like they were missing a few inches. He got close to the old light bulb, but he wasn't tall enough to replace it. Just when he stretched the most he could, he felt a pair of teeth nibble on the sensitive skin next to his bellybutton, making his lose his concentration and fall. Luckily for him, the prefect was expecting it so he caught him effortlessly in his arms. The brunette glared at him, his cheeks cherry red.

"That was entertaining." The raven-haired teen stated with a chuckle before putting Tsuna on the couch and leaving for the next room. When he came back, he was carrying a chair from the kitchen. Placing it under the lamp, he climbed on it and quickly changed the light bulb.

The brunette looked at him, embarrassed. Why didn't he think about using a chair? His cheeks got redder as he watched the quick exchange: The prefect climbed on the chair, took out the old light bulb, replaced it with the new one, then got down and returned the chair to its normal place. It reminded him the old jokes of 'how many _______ does it take to change a light bulb?' Remembering a particular funny one, a new version popped into his head. Even though he didn't find it quite funny, he decided to share it with the other teen.

"Hibari-san, how many herbivores does it take to change a light bulb?" He asked him, a sheepish grin decorating his face. The said teen looked at him, amused. He raised an eyebrow in anticipation, waiting to hear the end of the joke. "Well, they better be less than three, or Hibari-san would bite them to death." Realizing he had actually told the lame joke, he ran off to the bedroom and crawled under the blankets.

Hibari came into the room after him. He was actually entertained by the joke, so he didn't understand why the other ran away after telling it. Sitting on the bed, he searched for Tsuna's head and through the covers he whispered, "You are correct." Even through the covers, the prefect's low voice and hot breath sent a shudder down the brunette's spine. In one fluent movement, the raven-haired teen revealed the other from his hiding place. "I don't think you want to fall asleep so early." He caressed the other's red cheek, enjoying his flustered look.

"I'm not falling asleep." He responded to the tease. He turned around to face the taller teen as a proof and then got back to his former position. They continued like that for hours; Hibari would say something teasing and Tsuna would dismiss it, his cheeks staying red. When it got late, the brunette fell asleep in the middle of a sentence, his mouth half open as his deep breaths turned into silent ones. The prefect chuckled and covered him with a number of thick blankets, to protect him from the cold air in the house. After making sure the small teen was warm enough, he changed into his pajamas and laid down next to him under the warm covers.

'It seems like tomorrow will be chilly.' He thought to himself before closing his eyes and falling asleep, one arm holding the brunette securely next to him.
