Chunzi: W-Wait, Hibari-san! Pl-Please spare me!
Hibari: *pulls out tonfas*
Chunzi: I-I know I made you sound a BIT desperate in this story, b-but...
Hibari: *steps closer*
Chunzi: Ugghh... *steps back* Please turn on soft music for more effect. Hahaha...^_^''
Hibari's POV
I've always watched him from afar, keeping the distance between us both. When I saw him, I didn't know how react. For some reason, my heart would beat faster than usual when I was close to him. I like Tsunayoshi. I do, but…
Why…
Out of all the herbivo- people I've met, only Tsunayoshi has managed to make me feel this way. Why was he much more special than the rest? What is the reason for me being nervous around him? The reason my heart feels so warm when he smiles at me. The fact that he gave everyone that same smile makes me angry. I couldn't help but felt left out as well as I watched him talked cheerfully with those two herbivores that he always hung around with.
The reason that one would like Tsunayoshi Sawada, there's probably a long list to write about him. Yes, I have a reason to like him as well. No! I'm not telling you!
I also know the fact that there's a probability that Tsunayoshi only sees me as a friend and nothing else. I sometimes caught him stealing peeks at me; I just couldn't help but feel slightly happy. Though I think it's best if I don't get my hopes up too much.
But… I still yearn for his attention, even today.
Everyone trembled when they saw me walking pass them. I had to find someone that day so it was rare for me to be in the hallway during lunchtime. And no! I'm not looking for Tsunayoshi! … But I wish I could at least see him… Shut up!
As I searched around the hall, someone had bumped into me from behind. Has this herbivore no eyes? Who the heck-
I was met by those familiar eyes as I faced that person. Chocolate caramel orbs stared up at me. I was stunned immediately.
Tsunayoshi…
His eyes stared into mine, like he was searching for something. I didn't say a word; I was absorbed into his gaze. When he suddenly broke off the gaze, he apologized to me over and over again. I didn't know how to react to him; I just gave him a glare. He stepped back a bit and I huffed away in satisfaction.
Why is he so special to me? I like him, but it feels like something more…
On the days he was late to school, I watched that herbivore bowing and apologizing to me repeatedly. It happens from time to time, this day was the same too. But there was something different; Tsunayoshi seemed to be avoiding me. It was just a theory I had, but I shrugged it off.
But now I could confirm that he had been avoiding me. He kept avoiding me, even running back to his classroom when he saw me in the hall. I got irritated. If he decides to ignore me then so be it then.
I didn't know how long we've been avoiding each other. Nor did I even understand why he avoided me as well. I sat back at my chair, fiddling with the pen that I held in my hand.
I don't get it. I just don't… When Tsunayoshi avoided me, I thought I could get back at him by ignoring him as well. Why does it hurt then? It even hurts me to ignore him; shouldn't that be the other way around?
KNOCK KNOCK
Two sounds of knocks on the door were heard. "Come in." I didn't bother looking up.
"Kyo-san, it's already after school." I heard Kusakabe from the door.
"Alright, I'll start patrolling the school then." I got up from my chair.
"Actually Kyo-san, I'll help do the patrolling today." Kusakabe gave me a smile.
I furrowed my eyes on the man. What was he up to?
"Kyo-san, you seem to be down lately. May I ask if it has anything to do with Tsunayoshi-san, sir?" Kusakabe asked. I gave him a glare which made him flinched. But I nodded as well, crossing my arms.
…
"You like Tsunayoshi-san don't you Kyo-san?"
…
"Do you think it's more than 'like', sir?"
My head lowered to my desk, I didn't know how to answer that, but I replied to his question in the end, "I thought it was more than 'like' as well."
"Kyo-san?"
"But when I think about it, I also think it's something more than 'like'…" My eyes sadden. "When I think about Tsunayoshi, I always think that he's special. I feel weird when I'm around him too. And… and I would feel something inside me… tingle? I wonder why…"
"Do you want to know the reason Kyo-san?" I looked up from my desk and looked at him curiously.
The reason?
"You see Kyo-san, the reason for your strange behavior around Tsunayoshi-san, and thinking that he's special," Kusakabe smiled broadly, "Is because you love him sir."
…
Love?
"Leave the after school patrolling to me sir. You've been tense these days; you should take a break sometime." Kusakabe bowed respectfully.
I hesitated for a while, but then I decided to leave it in his capable hands.
"Oh yeah, Kyo-san." I stopped in my tracks when I was about to leave the room, "I saw Tsunayoshi-san when I passed his class. He seemed depressed somehow."
Still here huh? …
I looked down at the flowerbed in the school's garden. It was spring, so the flowers were all blooming beautifully. I hadn't left the school grounds yet.
"Hibari, Hibari!" A small bird came into my view. I lifted a finger and it landed gracefully on it.
Love… So this is how it feels to be… in love…
I wonder, does he feel the same way? …
After I set the small bird on my head, I took out a small piece of paper from my pocket and a pen from my breast pocket. I wrote down something on it. No, I'm not telling you!
I then held the bird gently in my palm, I tied the note on one of its legs with a small rope.
… Something's missing…
My eyes flickered with an idea. I plucked a rose from the flowerbed and let the small bird held it in its beak.
"Tsunayoshi…" I told it. I then let the small bird go.
Chunzi: The end!^_^
Tsuna: W-Wait! Don't end it here! At least continue the story, it's only half written!
Chunzi: Easy for you to say. You're not the one who has to be bandaged up after being bitten by Hibari-san. T_T
Tsuna: *sweatdrop*
Hibari: If you leave the story half hanging like this I'll bite you to death again herbivore...
Chunzi: EEEEKKKK! I-I'll type, I'll type!
The brunette ran as fast as he could, he ran out the entrance and made turns around the schoolyard. All he could think was one person only. And he wanted to see him now.
That rose was from the school garden, so he should be there!
On the other side, the raven haired teen stared up into the sky, watching the clouds passed by. Even if the small boy doesn't harbor any feelings for him, it was alright. Because no matter what happens from now on, he'll protect the sky till the end.
"Tsunayoshi…"
...
"Hibari-san!"
A familiar voice startled him. Hibari turned his head and saw a boy gasping for air, he was out of breath. That familiar brown hair hid his eyes, his mouth sucking in as much air as he can.
Tsunayoshi?
When he was about to say something, Tsuna quickly rushed up to him and hugged him. His arms tied around his waist, not wanting to let go.
Hibari blushed as the small brunette hugged him, he hadn't expected that. But the Cloud Guardian later returned the embrace as well. He smiled lovingly at the small boy. Tsuna looked up, his eyes were watery, but he smiled happily at Hibari.
Tsuna stood tiptoed and kissed Hibari on the cheeks. Hibari felt surprised at his action, he couldn't help but blush a little more.
"I love you too, Hibari-san." Tsuna said as tears rolled down.
When two hearts connect with each other, it produces something special. It produces warmth, hatred, sadness, comfort and happiness. And it helps you to find the one special person you long for as well.
Hibari's heart skipped a few beats hearing Tsuna say that. But he was happy, happy that he loves someone like him as well. Hibari and Tsuna both shared a tender kiss together.
Even if the reason is still unclear to me, I will still love him forever.
Chunzi: So what do you think!
Tsuna: I guess the story's ok.
Chunzi: 'Ok' only! O_O
Hibari: You're going to lose the competition.
Chunzi: NOOOOOOOO! ;_;
