Second, Clothes.


The brunet stood helplessly as he sunk to his knees, tugging at his fluff-ball hair.

Now, if you'd just cut off the surroundings and allow yourself to get caught in those adorable brown eyes, all you'd see is an adorable small brunet tugging at his hair in panic. However, once you snap out of that reverie, you begin to notice the surroundings and how the only patch of visible floor is the one that was being sat on. The rest of the floor is littered with clothes, a particularly large mountain of clothes piling up on the spot next to the wardrobe that was completely emptied of its contents by now, save for a miserable yellow sweater left to rot in the darkest corner of the closet.

Upon flinging the door open, Hibari experienced afore mentioned events.

"Herbivore," hissed Hibari. "What is this mess? I do not tolerate untidiness." Sure, Hibari felt like the herbivore belonged to him and couldn't raise a hand (or tonfa) against him, but Hibari still had his peeves.

Tsuna let out a tiny squeak before assuming his adorably vulnerable herbivorous state.

"Well..." Tsuna whimpered helplessly.

...

"Speak up, herbivore. I haven't all day."

"W-well, uh.. t-that is..."

Hibari narrowed his eyes dangerously. He didn't like it when his herbivore stuttered. Why, oh why, was nothing ever straight-forward and simple?

Tsuna, spotting the glare, squeaked a little.

"I like you, will you go out with me pretty please?" The words tumbled out of Tsuna's mouth quickly, probably too quickly for even Tsuna himself to catch the words.

Hibari's eyes further narrowed.

"Eeep! I'm so sorry, Hibari-san!" Tsuna all but squeaked before started running for his dear life.

...

"Well..." Tsuna whimpered. What was he supposed to say? He couldn't say he was picking clothes for the date. He wasn't even sure if Hibari heard him that time, let alone accept his offer.

Hibari tapped his foot impatiently, sparing Tsuna a cold glare. "Clean this up, herbivore. I'll bite you to death if you don't."

"Y-yes, Hibari-san!" Tsuna scrambled to his feet, almost tripping over his feet and the clothes as he waddled his way through the clothes mountain in attempt to shove them back into his closet.

"If you don't pick up the pace, we will be late."

Tsuna hurriedly shoved a few pairs of pants into the closet and - .. wait. What?

Tsuna blinked and turned to stare at Hibari.

"Late?" Tsuna cocked his head to the side in confusion. "For what?"

The prefect raised an eyebrow. "Herbivore, was it not you who asked me to go out?"

Tsuna had a thoughtful expression for a moment before realization slapped him hard in the face and he widened his eyes, his face colored with a nice blush, twiddling his thumbs as he shifted his gaze back to the floor (he enjoyed looking at his wooden floor in these situations).

"Youheardme?" Tsuna mumbled.

A rare smile graced Hibari's face, one that wasn't a smirk or mocking smile of any sort, but Tsuna was too busy depicting floor patterns to see it.

"It was not difficult," said Hibari. "Now hurry up and choose some clothes."

Tsuna nodded slowly, rummaging through his clothes mountain.

"I do not enjoy the thought of going outside during a time that herbivores crowd too much, so it would be best we leave now."

Tsuna tugged a random orange hoodie out of the pile along with some brown cargo pants somehow caught together with the hoodie.

"U-um..." Tsuna gestured towards the door, holding up the clothes he pulled out of the mountain of clothes.

"Hm." Hibari's lips cured into a smirk. Tsuna avoided the other's gaze, but Hibari excused himself from the room anyways.


"Hibari-san?"

"What is it, herbivore?"

"I'm sort of happy that you agreed to go out with me..." Tsuna mumbled a little pathetically, nervously scratching the back of his neck.

Hibari stopped in his tracks.

"Hibari-san?" Tsuna also stopped, turning around to check, only to be met with an unreadable poker face.

"'Sort of'?" hissed Hibari, venom dripping from each word.

Tsuna began to panic as he noticed the deathly aura enveloping the prefect.

"I-I mean, I'm r-really happy!"

Lord, what had he done to deserve this?


For the 'i like you, will you go out with me pretty please?' part, I would've placed it all together as one word for emphasis, but FF is a fag and deleted the phrase when it didn't have spaces :|

Yeah, I know I'm overkilling adorable Tsuna. Don't worry, the next chapter will be different.
