As promised in Tsuna's rather selective memory, he was at the Disciplinary Committee room. Actually, it was just outside of it. He had not worked up the courage to actually knock on the door and enter. Tsuna was having a mental conversation that sounded like this…

Dame Tsuna: I'm so nervous right now I don't think I can face Hibari-san!

HDW Tsuna: Go on, I know he won't bite me to death.

Dame Tsuna: Hiee! How can I? I'm scared… even without biting me to death Hibari-san is so scary!

HDW Tsuna: *sigh* Do you honestly only find him scary?

Dame Tsuna: Yes. The way he glares at me every time even when I'm not doing anything wrong is scary. Also, he always bites me to death for things I didn't do. It really is all Reborn's fault. I should have known.

HDW Tsuna: Then again did he always bite you as hard as he did with the people who bullied you?

Dame Tsuna: *thinks through carefully* No… not really. They were always some bruises but nothing as bad as broken bones.

HDW Tsuna: There you have it. Trust your intuition. You won't be wrong.

With that the mental conversation ended and Tsuna took a deep breath.

Just as Tsuna was about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside causing Tsuna to yelp from fear. In his moment of surprised fear, Tsuna screeched in an ear piercing pitch that made Hibari twitch with annoyance. The brunet landed on his bottom on the cold ground. Legs that failed him twice in a row were a proof of Reborn's useless tutelage. Hibari smirked inwardly with something to rejoice later.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi," the steely voice resounded through the empty hallways. "You are late."

"HIEE!"

Hibari's ears rang painfully with the impossibly high pitched screeched. He would have to verify the package later to ensure the birth documents were not falsified. Then again why not do it now? A sadistic grin appeared on his otherwise expressionless face.

"Tsunayoshi," Hibari purred. "In addition to being late, you are also causing a disturbance in the hallways. I will bite you to death after this… thoroughly."

The last word Hibari dragged out scared him more than what ten Reborns could do. No, that was an exaggeration. Reborn still scared him more even with a fake gun in his hand.

Left with no choice, Tsuna bowed with tears threatening to fall. "I'm sorry Hibari-san… I'll accept the punishment but please… be gentle." With the slight tremble of the lower lips and overly large eyes, Tsuna's moe factor won over Hibari's self-restraint. The prefect pulled the boy into the room and slammed the door shut behind, not without a click indicating the lock in use.

Tsuna was thrown to the couch roughly and Hibari had to glare twice as hard to make the boy silent. No more whimpering was heard and it helped Hibari regain his initial composure.

"Take out your books. We will start with your weakest subject, Mathematics."

Tsuna gulped and obeyed the order barked out. He pulled out the required books until Hibari stopped him. "I only require your writing materials on the table."

Puzzled, Tsuna followed the instructions and waited with almost unbridled interest. How was Hibari going to tutor him without the textbook?

Hibari took a seat beside Tsuna, making the couch dip. "Too close…" thought Tsuna as he shied away with a light blush. Hibari noticed but made no comments about it. His expression: unreadable.

"We shall start with the more recent topics covered then move back to fill in the loop holes. This way you won't be missing out on pulling up your score for the next topic test. Let's start with similar and congruent figures. Has Nezu sensei gone through this with you in class?"

Tsuna nodded dumbly. He had attempted to do his homework by guessing but he never understood. All he knew was to make sense of the figures provided. He never needed to prove because even if he did, it would end up wrong.

Wearing his glasses, Hibari started the lesson officially. "Listen up. This is one of the simpler topics. All you need to know for this topic is firstly, how to identify and secondly, how to prove. What do you know of the words similar and congruent?"

Tsuna tried his best to recall Gokudera's explanation. "Congruent means exactly the same but similar means different sizes?"

Hibari chuckled. "Close but not quite. Congruent is a replica or like what you mentioned - an exact copy. However, similar means the same specifics but of different ratios. You will understand it better when we look into the examples. For now don't worry about it. Next I would have to ask how much you know about angles and also the triangle."

Tsuna blushed furiously. He had no clue how to calculate an angle. He barely read off the protractor correctly. "A triangle has three sides?"

Hibari deadpanned. Tsuna bowed and apologized pitifully.

Hibari removed his glasses and sighed almost beautifully. He pinched the bridge of his nose knowing it would not be an easy task. The brunet needed help in more than just Mathematics. There was still History, Japanese, Literature, English, Science and so many more. Thinking about how Reborn had taught the boy made Hibari curious. What exactly did he do to teach the boy? Tsuna's grades were not improving even after the hit man's appearance. Hibari only knew how the brunet became stronger physically and more interesting to know.

Tsuna fidgeted and felt terrible. He knew Hibari had more important things to do and felt bad for bothering him. "I'm sorry for bothering Hibari-san. I know you have more important matters to tend to so I… I'll study this on my own somehow… thank you for everything you have done for me." He stood up and was about to leave when his wrist was grabbed tightly. Piercing eyes met warm hazel ones.

"When did I give you permission to leave? I said I would be in charge of you didn't I? When I make a commitment I stick to it. And in case you don't know, I expect you to score 95% and above for the coming topical test."

Tsuna's eyes widened and he paled considerably. "95…" Hibari smirked in reply. There was no way Tsuna could pass, much less score 95% even when Gokudera and Reborn were helping him. He gulped. "I don't think that's possible Hibari-san."

Hibari leaned closer with a predator's smile. "You don't have a choice Tsunayoshi. Besides, have a little faith in me. After all, I am this school's top scholar."

Tsuna's eyes nearly popped out. The mysterious unnamed student on the results billboard every semester was Hibari? Gokudera was only second and this made Tsuna wonder what made Hibari's brain so different from his.

Hibari caught Tsuna staring at his forehead and felt compelled to ask, "What's so interesting about my forehead."

Tsuna snapped out of his thoughts and gave a little 'hie'. He stuttered and fumbled with the school tie while averting eyes. Hibari thought it was adorable.

"I er… I was thinking… I don't mean anything bad about it really so please don't bite me to death!"

Hibari nodded as a sign for him to continue. "I was thinking since we are both humans, I don't mean I suspect you of being a UMA that was Gokudera's theory, how come your brain is better than mine?"

The question and additional information got lost in the procession. Somehow Hibari lost track of what Tsuna was saying when the mention of him being a UMA was mentioned. "A UMA huh? I guess he wasn't as smart as he should have been."

Tsuna looked on with big brown doe eyes at Hibari who was curious as to why he was being looked at with such expectant eyes. "What?"

"No… it's just that Hibari-san still hasn't answered my question."

"What question?" genuinely blank, Hibari asked back and was immediately met with a dejected look. Tsuna brushed it off with a mumble of 'please don't mind me'.

Hibari felt a nagging feeling at the back of his head that somehow the question might be important and frowned. "Tell me."

Tsuna looked away and blushed. "No it's alright. It was a stupid question anyway."

Hibari got more annoyed. "Tell me Tsunayoshi."

Tsuna got more flustered at Hibari's persistence. "It's fine! I wasn't really thinking when I asked it…"

Hibari lost it. He never expected the boy to become so stubborn. "Tell me now or I'll bite you to death!"

He was reaching for his tonfas when Tsuna yielded. "Hiee! I'll tell you so please don't bite me to death!"

Hands up as a shield, Tsuna waited for the pain to come but nothing happened. He cracked open an eye and saw Hibari waiting expectantly. Feeling embarrassed, Tsuna sat himself properly again. "So?" was Hibari's expectant question.

"I only wanted to know why your brain is so different from mine even though we are both humans."

Hibari paused and rewound the question in his mind. He coughed. Tsuna watched worriedly. He coughed again and it escalated into a full laughter. Tsuna observed with slight fear and mostly interest. Hibari looked so angelic laughing. Tsuna decided he wanted to see Hibari smile more often.

He smiled alongside Hibari who was coming down from the high laughing. Tsuna beamed and Hibari quickly resumed the mask. Tsuna vaguely cringe at the cold exterior.

"We are not that different. You just never learnt how to use it correctly." Hibari moved closer to Tsuna's ear and whispered. "I'll teach you how so you should pay attention… otherwise you might just be bitten to death."

Tsuna shivered at the voice more than the threat. He squeaked a small yes and Hibari resumed the professional image. "Now we begin identifying and reviewing angles. Yes, a triangle has three sides but that is not all. There are different types and several properties of this shape which would help you identify if it is a congruent or a similar figure. We start with the types. There are mainly…"

The rest of the lesson was more of Hibari talking and Tsuna listening. Tsuna had never heard Hibari speak so many sentences in his life. Also, he never noticed how charming Hibari sounded. Tsuna was entranced by it and by the end of the lesson he had completed all his homework with Hibari's help. It was late.

Hibari noticed how late it had become and offered to send Tsuna home. Blushing, Tsuna allowed his cloud guardian to do as he pleased. Secretly he thought how perfect Hibari was. "If I were a girl I would definitely fall for him…" Tsuna thought. Then he turned pale. What was he thinking? "No! That's not possible… I like Kyoko-chan. That's right. Even if I did like Hibari-san there would be no way he would like me back. I might as well be better off confessing to Kyoko. That is if I really get above 95% for the next test like what Hibari-san said…"

With his decision made, Tsuna nodded to himself.

How Hibari ended up in this predicament remained a mystery. Nana Sawada had dragged him into the house against his will and made him eat dinner with Tsuna and the annoying children. The poison scorpion and the arcobaleno were present as well. Hibari hated the crowds but had to remain polite to Nana who had been so accommodating. That was until he developed hives from all the crowding. Now the fallen Hibari Kyoya lay on Tsuna's futon in his room. Tsuna was made to feed the 'dying' prefect as Reborn termed.

The brunet seemed to have no defenses and it irked Hibari to know end. He saw how Reborn raked his eyes over the boy like a wolf about to devour a lamb. Hibari was annoyed at how clueless the brunet was.

Tsuna trembled as he helped Hibari up. The prefect was glaring at him mercilessly. Despite how weak he felt at the moment, his intensity level for the glare directed did not waver. Tsuna whimpered as Hibari lifted his hand. Tsuna shut his eyes and prepared for pain to come but only a comfortable weight rested on his head.

He opened his eyes to find Hibari patting his unruly locks. Another bout of blushing acted up and Tsuna found himself nearly purring at the touch. Hibari enjoyed watching the brunet. His earlier anger faded.

"Tsunayoshi."

Tsuna looked at Hibari with curiosity. Hibari hesitated but decided to ask away. "Are you good at cooking?"

Tsuna smiled. "Not as good as my mother but I can cook simple things."

Hibari nodded. "Make me a bento from tomorrow onwards."

"EH?"

Hibari frowned. "You didn't think I would be teaching you for free did you?"

Tsuna bit his bottom lip. "What if Hibari-san doesn't like it?"

Hibari snorted. Leave it up to the brunet to over worry. "Don't worry about that. I'm sure you cook fine. Besides, it isn't to my taste I could always bite you to death." The offer struck fear in caramel eyes instead.

"No no no… I can cook fine Hibari-san. Anyway, do you have any allergy or preferences?"

Hibari thought for a while before saying, "I like hamburger steak."

Tsuna beamed. "Alright then!"

The boys stayed in Tsuna's room like that for a while, enjoying each other's company. It was becoming too late and Nana suggested Hibari stay the night. That made all the difference to their blossoming relationship. Unable to refuse the kind Nana, Hibari agreed.

While Tsuna slept peacefully that night Hibari opted to stay awake for a little while more. He took in with tender eyes all of Tsuna's moonlit features. Gentle fingers brushed the rosy cheeks as he sighed sinfully. All those years of wanting to get close to the boy and his efforts to make the boy stay away from him went to the drain. He was afraid of hurting something so angelic and yet fate has drawn them closer than they should.

Hibari then made a promise to always guard him and love him tight. "Goodnight Tsunayoshi." A kiss on the lips sealed that vow and the prefect went to sleep.
