C H A P T E R T W O - F u t u r e F i a n c e -
"I thought I was supposed to meet all of the girls, how come it's only one now?" Tsuna asked as he was being forced to dress into a new tux.
"I decided that she would be the one," Reborn said as he watched Tsuna put on his tie.
"What? You already decided?" Tsuna exclaimed. It was the first he had heard of that news.
It shouldn't have been such a surprise. This happened mostly everyday but yet, Tsuna couldn't help it.
Reborn nodded. "Alright, you're dressed, now let's go."
The Arcobaleno quickly forced Tsuna out of the room.
"H-Hey! Wait! Reborn! I haven't agreed to this! How do you expect me to just marry some girl I haven't even met?"
"That's why this meeting was set up, No-good Tsuna," Reborn said.
"B-But!" Tsuna couldn't retaliate. He didn't know what to say. What else could he say besides 'I don't want to get married?' Not like Reborn would actually listen to him.
Tsuna sighed heavily and gave up in defeat. He slowly followed behind Reborn, depressed, and was led to the guest room where his most likely to be fiancé was waiting.
They arrived at the door and Reborn stopped. Turning around, he stared Tsuna straight in the eyes. "Don't mess up," he warned before he opened the door for Tsuna.
Tsuna hesitated, and that angered Reborn a little. So, the Arcobaleno gave the Vongola Boss a kick in the rear and closed the door shut.
The young man tumbled inside as he tried his best to not trip. Once he regained his balance, he gave a sigh of relief. Though, he felt the atmosphere become tense as soon as he was aware that another person was watching him.
Tsuna looked up from the ground and his eyes met with a beautiful female, dressed in a kimono. She had long black silky hair and a cute face.
Laughing nervously, Tsuna greeted the girl. "H-hello."
The girl chuckled, "Hello, I'm Satou Akari."
"A-Ah! I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi." He blushed as he introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you," Akari spoke in a sweet tone. "Please sit down"
"Y-Yes," Tsuna said, a little nervous.
Tsuna pulled out the chair and took a seat across from Akari. For a brief moment, the air was utterly quiet until Akari broke the ice.
"Sawada-san," Akari called out.
"Y-Yes?" Tsuna answered promptly and looked at the girl.
Akari chuckled. "You're so cute."
"E-Eh? N-No…calling me cute is kind of…" Tsuna said, blushing slightly as he looked away from her.
"I wasn't expecting you to be like this considering you are the Vongola's boss. I thought you would actually be pretty intimidating. But you're not. You actually give off a nice vibe," Akari explained her feelings.
The girl grew quiet for a split moment, as if she was examining Tsuna, who was stiff as a rock.
"Hmm…I decided. I like you!" Akari suddenly confessed.
"W-What?" Tsuna opened his eyes wide, surprised to hear those words. But, he was sure she didn't actually mean it in a romantic way.
"I wasn't going to go along with this proposal. Honestly, I was a little scared since I haven't heard much about you. I'm not too associated with the mafia," Akari explained.
"U-Um, are you sure about this?" Tsuna spoke his worries. "You just met me."
"That's why I'm going to get to know you better!" She exclaimed, quite excited. Before Tsuna could even question her any further about the matter, she started bombarding him with questions about his life.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Finally, Tsuna was finished and he saw Akari off at the front gates. As he watched the car drive out and into the distance, an exhausted sigh escaped into the air. His eyebrows become furrowed as he felt his head throb in pain. The Vongola boss was in the room for quite a long time. Mainly, he was listening to Akari speak about herself and occasionally answering her questions.
Reentering the mansion, Tsuna slowly dragged his feet up the stairs, heading towards his room where he was ready to collapse.
That was so tiring… He thought to himself.
Tsuna hadn't considered that Akari could be so talkative since she seemed like a quiet girl upon first meeting.
Just like they say— don't judge a book by its covers.
The young man continued down the empty hallway, staring at the ground listlessly as his mind wandered off to certain things that have been bothering him.
Soft footsteps were heard and woke Tsuna from his thoughts. Lifting his head, he spotted someone up ahead. The silhouette was familiar and right then, Tsuna knew who it was. He didn't need to see the face to know the identity of the figure.
Anxious, Tsuna continued forward, his feet speedily taking him closer and closer towards the body. His hand stretched out, grasping for something to hold onto.
"Hm?" The figure turned around as he felt a tug on his arm.
Tightly holding onto the hem of his guardian's jacket sleeve, Tsuna gazed deeply into his eyes.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"Hibari-san…" Tsuna whispered in a tender tone.
After calling each other's name, they fell silent. Head hung low; Tsuna could feel his heart beating loudly as he tried to collect his thoughts and emotions. There was a question he needed to ask, but, the words were caught in his throat and refused to come up.
"How was the meeting?" Hibari broke the ice and asked.
Tsuna flinched. Tilting his head back slightly, he placed his eyes on the beautiful man's face.
"The meeting was fine. The girl…she was kind," Tsuna said, not saying much about Akari. He felt that he shouldn't talk about the girl in front of Hibari. Actually, that wasn't it. He didn't want to mention her in front of this man at all.
"Hmm," Hibari hummed, his emotions remaining apathetic.
Once again, silence filled the air and neither of them uttered a single word. Tsuna was still holding onto Hibari's jacket, not wanting to let go.
"U-Um-" The brunette stuttered but became hushed when he felt a hand reach towards his face.
Hibari gently grabbed a lock of Tsuna's soft brown hair and slowly, ran his fingers through the locks until they slipped away from his grasp.
Tsuna's cheeks became slightly red, a little embarrassed at the gesture.
The guardian took a step back, releasing Tsuna of his hold and turned his back to the Boss.
A sadden face replaced his shy expression as he felt Hibari distance himself from him.
"I have work to do," Hibari said in a calm tone and left the young man alone.
Tsuna stared after Hibari, watching him disappear from his sight. He was rendered speechless and froze for a few minutes as he struggled to collect his thoughts. He had a really important question to ask but Hibari's actions threw him off guard.
The Vongola boss clutched at his heart, feeling the heavy heartbeat thumping loudly against his chest.
Breath…exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.
Tsuna repeated those words inside of his head, trying to calm down his nerves and regain normal breathing.
I didn't want to let go…
As Tsuna finally regained his composure, he quietly returned to his room and slipped into bed, hoping to drift into a deep slumber so he wouldn't have to think anymore.
Author's note: Yay, chapter two. SHORT, I know -_-; Anyways, SO, yes, the fiancé is an OC. Since I dislike OC's (was forced to use one), she won't be in there much. YAY. And finally, we got a Hibari and Tsuna scene…though not much happened _; tsk tsk, Hibari, what are you thinking in that head of yours? :) Anyways, next chapter…uh, a little longer than this. IT IS CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS! And I'll be updating…this weekend. :D Thanks for reading everyone.
