Title: Together with you

Summary: Tsuna knew that he was clumsy, but to trip and fall over a ball during PE and send a loose shoe flying straight towards a certain prefect napping under a tree, what more could happen? Love...perhaps?/1827/


Chapter 3


"HELLO? HAS ANYONE SEEN MY GLOVES?" The was a flash of white hair as a familiar face peeked through from behind the door and looked in.

Noticing the lump of two figures on the couch, the high school boxer turned to glance left and right in the room before apologising, "I AM VERY SORRY! I EXTREMELY HAD NOT MEANT TO INTERRUPT!" The door slammed shut.

It isn't what you think, Tsuna thought bitterly as Kyoko's big brother had disappeared as fast as he had arrived after jumping onto conclusions. Hibari grunted for him to get off and so he did, pushing himself off the slightly irritated prefect. Unknownst to Tsuna, Hibari was feeling somewhat sour at being get caught in such an embarrassing situation.

"Get out," he told Tsuna and Tsuna nodded hurriedly, picking himself out. He sort of understood how Hibari was feeling from his tone of voice and had immediately rushed to the door and grab the doorknob, throwing himself out of the Reception Room as fast as he could. Feeling the little unevenness between his two feet as he had dashed out, Tsuna remembered that his right shoe was still somewhere lying pitifully outside the field at the place where Hibari had been napping on previously. He'd to go fetch it back.

Rushing back to the field, he sighed in relief that his shoe was still there at the same corner of the currently empty field. He supposed Yamamoto had already carried Gokudera to the sick bay and was right now accompanying him. That was good. Gokudera was really lucky. Tsuna never had anybody worrying about him, excluding his mother or the people really, really close to him. Sometimes, he thought, if only his classmates were a little more caring, perhaps, he would've made more friends and less bullies? He wasn't too sure.

Patting away some dirt from his shoe Tsuna just struck his right foot in properly and stood up. Wow, the sky seemed really dark. Was it about to rain? Now was the last period of school and it was math. With Yamamoto in the sick bay together with Gokudera, math would probably seem much more boring without the two of his best friends Tsuna thought. He decided to skip it even though it was his worst subject and was wondering if he should go visit the school library just for the sake of the air-con there when he caught sight of something red lying along in the grass at the very back of the tree's roots. Hm? What was that? Tsuna bent forward and crouched down.

Tsuna picked it up, then realised that there was also a second one of what he had saw lying beneath the other and he also picked that up. It came in a pair, and in the inner surface of them was strewed the word 'Sasagawa' handwritten in permanent maker messily. Oh. Boxing gloves. What Oni-san was looking for just now. He dusted the gloves lightly and shoved it in his pockets. Maybe he could go look for Ryohei now and pass on the gloves to him. He had the time after all.

Climbing all the way to the third floor, he made his way towards the third-year classrooms and went to look for Oni-san's class. It was the second last class of the corridor and surprisingly, it was empty. Tsuna walked in, and since it was a little dark he fumbled a little to on the switch lights. Today afternoon had been quite hot with the sun hanging up high in the sky emitting rays of light but now the sky looked rather grey, almost like a storm about to brew. Just like Hibari-san's eyes. Tsuna blushed.

He was about to find Ryohei's desk and slide the gloves underneath with the lights on when someone slid the classroom door close.

"What the heck?" He heard someone talking to his friend. "The lights are still on." Tsuna cursed his luck and quickly hid below one of the random desks, hiding himself from the upperclassman and his friend. Second-years weren't allowed alone in a third-year class and he wasn't ready to be sent into the Reception Room the second time. The lights was off again and the door slid shut with a soft click, leaving Tsuna alone once more.

Tsuna wasn't that bothered as he simply just came out of his hiding place and switch the lights back on, finding Oni-san's desk and placing the gloves underneath it. With his work done he went to the classroom door and tried sliding it open but failed to do so. Oh no, it was locked! He tried to drag it to the side harder, faster with a more desperate attempt each time but the door just wouldn't budge. Great, what were the third-years having for lessons today, being allow to leave school an earlier hour than the usual time? Not that Tsuna would know, he didn't have their class timetable.

Sighing he just sat down on one of the chairs, propping his elbows on the desk and waiting tiredly. Soon someone would notice that the classroom lights were being on and find him there, unlocking the door for him. Hopefully he would be let off with only a stern warning and then he can go visit Gokudera and Yamamoto in the sick bay. Oh look it was raining, he thought in his boredom. Suddenly math just seemed better than doing nothing. He sighed again, but this time hiding in face in his crossed arms on the table instead. The melodic pitter-patter of the rain soon turned into a heavy downpour and Tsuna felt that it was rather cooling and refreshing at the same time. Suddenly, the light in the bright classroom seemed to dance and shine a little unsteadily and then just like that, all lights of the classroom totally went out.

Shoot. Blackout.


Hi. Hopefully the plot line isn't too cliché, such as Tsuna getting stuck all alone in a locked and dark classroom. I'll try to twist and turn the story as much as I can for stuff unlikely to happen yet allow Tsuna at the same time to get closer to Hibari-san.

Oh yeah, wondered how many of you guessed that Ryohei would be popping out? I always thought that he was the kind of character who was blunt, a little naïve and unexceptionally devoted in everything he does. He's really cool in a brothery way too, I feel. :)

P.s I really like using smiley faces. Makes me smile too just by seeing the icon.
