Voila. Here I am again. This chapter may seem boring to you. Depends. I've been getting REALLY busy lately. (2 damn projects. GRR.) Anyway, let's get reading.
Warnings: Yaoi, Possible OOC-ness.
Disclaimer: I do not own KHR. If I did, there will already be a Tuna sandwich and many sexual 8059 moments.
The rest of the homeroom period went by slowly.
Gokudera paid no attention to the teacher's announcements as he fiddled with the strings attached on his jacket. He let his thoughts wander freely in his mind, but it was ephemeral as he felt something poke the back of his head. The silverette turned around in irritation as he gazed at Yamamoto, who was laughing for about the umpteenth time with a pencil in his hand. So that's what poked him.
"What do you want?" Gokudera snapped. Twenty minutes ago, when the new students arrived and has gotten assigned seats, Yamamoto, the idiot behind him, wouldn't stop laughing. He usually ignored the sounds of loud chattering, but there was something about Yamamoto that he couldn't ignore. Gokudera didn't know what it was, but it sure pissed him off.
"Oh nothing," Yamamoto replied, his infectious smile not pleasing the male in front of him. "It's just that you're cute."
Gokudera widened his eyes at the sudden remark. If you were there, you would see that Gokudera's cheeks were colored with a shade of pink that also made its way to his ears. "W-what the hell?" Gokudera managed to blurt out, agape. He felt something flutter in his chest. What was that feeling? He's sure he never felt it before.
"Gokudera-san," the teacher spoke up. Gokudera's flushed cheeks went back to its original color as Gokudera whipped around to the front, clicking his teeth in annoyance. "Pay attention."
"Che," Gokudera grunted and tried his best not to pay attention to Yamamoto. Yamamoto just chuckled and his smile grew wider.
Meanwhile, Hibari couldn't tear his gaze from the student in front of him, ignoring the announcements. Tsunayoshi Sawada, as he remembered it, seemed to interest him more than finding peace. He didn't know what the hell it was called, but it sure was a warm feeling.
Tsuna sweat-dropped. He could feel someone staring at him and he didn't even bother to find out. Could it be Hibari Kyouya? Maybe Hibari was just getting annoyed with his hair and tired to pay attention to the board. Yup, that's it. Just because of that.
The bell rang. Everyone immediately brightened up from their boredom and jumped out of their desks impetuously, rushing to first period. Gokudera waited for Tsuna, who was tying his shoes. After done, Tsuna gave a nod and to Gokudera and left the room together to go to history class.
"So, Tenth," Gokudera spoke up from their walk, catching Tsuna's attention by the mention of his nickname. "What do you think of that bastard Yamamoto?"
There he goes. Hating everyone he meets, Tsuna blinked. "Well, he's okay I guess."
"He annoys the hell out of me," Gokudera hissed, the thought of Yamamoto making him shudder.
"Uh huh," Tsuna said, not paying attention to the silverette. His mind drifted off to somewhere else, and the two friends entered history class.
Unlike homeroom, first period went by too fast. It was finally time for second period. Gokudera left Tsuna, since he had math while Tsuna had P.E.
And to Tsuna, the term 'physical education' meant hell.
"Huddle up!" Tsuna's gym coach barked. Tsuna sighed and jogged up along with the rest of the class. They all sat in front of the gym coach, who was like a bear; huge and muscular. Tsuna crossed his legs and clutched on his gym shorts as he stared intently at the coach.
"Today class," said the teacher. "We are going to play dodge ball." Many of the students clapped and cheered in joy, but Tsuna sat there, disappointed. Out of all activities, dodge ball was chosen. The brunet lacked athletic ability. He couldn't catch a ball, he couldn't hit a ball, he couldn't throw a ball, and he couldn't dodge a ball. The brunet also had slow reflexes and was easily distracted during games. Thus, he was the perfect ball-magnet during dodge ball. Tsuna could already sense the mischievous glances his classmates gave him.
Simultaneously, Hibari grimaced at the idea. Dodge ball? Really? It wasn't the skylark's type at all. He hated games having to do with teamwork. Hibari reluctantly watched as the coach split them into two teams. The next thing he knew, he was being forced into the game before he could even bite the teacher to death. But all his murderous faded away disappeared when he found out Tsuna was on his team.
"Ok, start!"
Tsuna shrieked in horror as one of the people on the opponent team smirked, a glint in his eye, and threw the ball towards Tsuna. The brunet panicked and ran away from the white ball. He sighed in relief. Hibari glared at every single incoming ball and dodged them all in a blur that all students gawked at the sight. One by one, students were hit and got out. Tsuna kept dodging, heck, more like running away from the ball, while Hibari stood their arms crossed, dodging without breaking a sweat. Several minutes later, the fourteen people on each team was suddenly reduced to two on each team.
"Dame-Tsuna is still in! It's a miracle!"
"Hibari-san is amazing! Didn't you see how he dodged all the balls?"
Tsuna gulped as he saw who was left on the opponent team. The two foes were the tallest, most stockiest, and probably the heaviest people in class. They were usually the people who teased and mocked Tsuna every time, everywhere. Tsuna winced as the opponent slowly smirked and made light tosses with the ball in the air repeatedly.
I don't think anyone can beat these people, even Hibari-san, Tsuna thought as he flicked his eyes over to Hibari, who looked like he didn't give a damn about the two enemies. Tsuna bit his lip, a complexed and worried expression written all over his face. Only a certain skylark noticed this. Tsuna's eyes widened to its full extent as one of the opponents made their move, throwing the ball with all his might towards Tsuna. As Tsuna repeatedly thought 'my life is over' and closed his eyes, bracing himself for the blow, nothing came. Tsuna slowly opened his eyes to reveal that Hibari was in front of him, supposedly defending him. Hibari had caught the ball, not even flinching from the hard impact.
"Hn," Hibari grunted. "Herbivore, this is a dodge ball game, not a surrender."
"H-Hibari-san..." Tsuna said quietly, admiration washing over him. But it quickly stopped as Hibari's remark made its way to his mind. Wait...herbivore?
"Oh, the new student acting so tough, huh?" the first opponent said in a mocking tone. Hibari's attention was immediately caught. The raven-haired male turned his head slowly, his eyes twitching at the slightest.
"Pardon me," Hibari said darkly, a muderous aura emitting in the air. "What was that you said? Please say it once more."
"Oh, so dangerous~" the second one said. The two foes roared in laughter as the other classmates who got out watched in interest, confusion, and worry.
"Hibari-san is going to get out!"
"Team Two is going to win!"
But the unexpected came. Hibari glanced at the ball in his hands before he narrowed his gaze and threw the ball. He didn't even throw it with his full power, yet the ball moved by so fast that no one could see how it hit the opponent precisely in the stomach. The first one got second one, who was still in, had his jaws dropped as he stared at his unconscious friend. Hibari smirked in satisfaction and scooped another ball off the ground and threw it lightly, hitting the second opponent in the arm, getting him out.
"Team One wins!"
The jubilant Team One raised their fists up in the air. Tsuna laughed and noticed that Hibari wasn't with the crowd, watching them with no interest.
"H-hibari-san!" Tsuna called out, catching Hibari's attention with the mention of his name.
"What?" Hibari replied coolly.
"W-well," Tsuna said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "T-thank you." He ended his spoken gratitude with a bright smile. Hibari's bangs drooped over his eyes, slightly hiding the blush he currently possessed.
I might edit this chapter. Who knows? It isn't really my favorite. To apologize, I'll give you hints on what's happening in the next chapter. Hibari becomes the dangerous Disciplinary Committee Prefect of Namimori Middle and Yamamoto becomes friends with Tsuna. How? I won't tell you. :D And no guessing.
R&R Please! Ja ne~
