Chapter 7 has more fights and accidents


"Tsuna, do you know where I put my-" Fong had just entered his living room when he spotted the brunet. They had just arrived at his place only half an hour ago after that incident with Mukuro. Immediately, he went off to get them something to drink, only to not be able to find his tea bags in their usual spot. He pondered for a moment, thinking that Tsuna might have moved them from his last visit and was about to inquire about it when he came to a stop. Rounding the couch, Fong watched the brunet snuggle up against the cushions and was holding a pillow in his arm tightly. "Fallen asleep now, have we?"

Settling down at the very end, where Tsuna's head was resting at, Fong pushed back a few pieces of hair, getting a good look at the expression.

Tsuna twitched at the touch, his eyes fluttering open in confusion and peered up at the other. "Fong?"

"Yeah, it's me. Go back to sleep if you're that tired. I'll wake you up later, alright?" Fong ran his fingers through the soft caramel-colored hair, finding it incredibly soft.

Tsuna blinked a few time before shifting over, putting his head into Fong's lap.

"H-Hey! Tsuna! I can't move if you do that." Despite what he had said, Fong couldn't help but smile at the reaction, patting the soft hair once more. He maneuvered around so that his back was leaning against the couch and pulled his legs up into a more comfortable position. Seeing that he had Fong where he wanted, Tsuna pushed forward, wrapping his arms around his crush's waist, keeping him hostage during his slumber. Fong made no movement to leave at that point. He closed his eyes, relaxing and leaned against the corner of his couch.

Well, he had time. A small nap wouldn't be so bad.


Tsuna tilted his head at the person that was at his door. It was a Saturday afternoon, and there was no reason for this person to be here. And he didn't remember ever doing anything wrong to catch his attention.

"Hibari? W-What are you doing here?" Tsuna muttered under his breath, still not completely sure if the person before him was actually real. He had to be delusional. Maybe Fong's strong brew of tea was finally getting to him or maybe the Chinese man wanted to play a little joke on him by spiking his drink. No… wait, that wasn't possible. Fong wasn't that type of person.

"I was asked to come here and take you out." A blunt answer, as Tsuna expected, except for the content. The brunet stared for a few moments, wondering if he had heard that correctly. That couldn't be right. He couldn't have just gotten asked out by Hibari of all people, right? Or was that 'out' as in 'I'll beat you unconscious' out? Tsuna paled at the thought.

Unable to stop himself, he muttered a "What?" in response.

Hibari glared at that, growling a little. "I said, I'm taking you out whether you like it or not. Talk back to me again and I'll bite you to death."

Tsuna could only stare at the person who was making the threat. He still couldn't believe his ears.

"I apologize, but Tsuna is with me for today. Perhaps a later date, Kyoya?" a soft voice came from behind the two. Fong stepped out from the side of the door and remained next to the brunet. "I'm afraid I had him first and I don't plan on giving him up yet." He placed a comforting arm on Tsuna's shoulder and smiled at both men.

Hibari immediately narrowed his eyes at that and uncrossed his arms. Without any of the two realizing, he reached forward to yank Tsuna away, dragging the brunet away from Fong's side. The Chinese man's dark eyes widened considerably, not expecting such a response, and stared at the other curiously. Tsuna, on the other hand, let out a squeak in shock. Just what the hell was happening? This was never supposed to happen to him. He wasn't that popular even among woman, so why was there suddenly so many people interested in him? He sensed a disturbing plot in the air. It just didn't seem right.

"H-Hibari! W-What are you doing?" Tsuna cried out, trying to struggle within the other's arm and was unsuccessful in his attempts. Instead, he had to wince as his coworker tightened his grasp on his arm. There was definitely going to be a bruise there tomorrow. "H-Hey, that hurts. Let go of me."

"We're going out no matter what," Hibari once more stated calmly and almost without care.

"But I don't want to go…"

"Kyoya, you shouldn't force someone to go out with you." Fong sighed, taking a few steps forward. "That's not right. If you want to ask someone out, you need to respect their wishes."

Hibari glared in return while Tsuna shrunk down from the heated stare. "Shut up! This is none of your business."

Fong narrowed his eyes sharply at that. "It is too my business. That is my friend you're taking, and forcefully, might I add. I don't plan to stand here and watch something like this happen. Tsuna is very dear to me and I will protect him to the best of my ability. Just because we're relatives doesn't mean I won't fight you." Immediately, he severed the grip and brought Tsuna back over to him. He yanked the brunet behind him protectively and refused to budge at all. "I won't let you harm him at all."

Tsuna didn't know what happened next as he was behind Fong the entire time but all of a sudden he saw a flash of silver. His eyes widened at that. Hibari was carrying a weapon and he was using it against Fong. Freezing at the sight, the brunet gasped and soon found himself racing forward. At that moment, Fong had caught the tonfa with his bare hands, keeping the weapon away from him. The two relatives stared at each other, watching each other's movement carefully and waiting for the other to strike. They weren't aware of Tsuna, who was rushing forward.

The brunet didn't really like doing such things, but he didn't want Fong to get hurt. Before for Mukuro, the blue-haired man was just surprised by the sudden assault. Even Tsuna had been surprised by it. But this… this was different. Racing forward, Tsuna let his body slam into Hibari, who was concentrating entirely on Fong, and accidently sent the other sprawling to the ground. Of course, Tsuna didn't know what would happen afterwards because of his little stunt.


Reborn huffed, glancing at the injured Mukuro and Hibari in disappointment. "You both failed."

The blue-haired man snapped. His mood was already terrible after being hospitalized because of fractured bones and it worsened when Hibari was sitting next to him. "Well, you're the one that didn't exactly tell me that Fong could actually fight back. I think the information of Fong being the top martial artist would be nice to know."

The fedora-wearing man raised an eyebrow at that and leaned back against his chair. "Oh? You didn't research about him? That's a little stupid, even for you."

"I knew enough to know that Sawada Tsunayoshi has a strong crush for him and the aspects of his personality. I didn't think it was necessary to look up about him," Mukuro grumbled, coughing slightly since he was upsetting his chest. He took a deep breath to calm himself. "I've met the man once and didn't deem him that much of a threat."

"Idiot."

Mukuro wanted to snap back, but at his present state, he was too vulnerable. He doubted he could defend himself if he tried again. So instead, he settled to just glare at the other patient in the room, Hibari. "And what the hell happened to you, skylark?"

No answer. Hibari kept his lips sealed, staring at the wall. He didn't want to answer that question. It was embarrassing as it is- being sent to the hospital because of a broken arm, which wasn't because of a fight.

Right after Tsuna tackled him, he was sent sprawling to the ground, and his arm was unfortunate enough to land underneath his body and snap. The commotion that occurred afterward was confusing and the two immediately tried to help. Hibari refused, his pride already broken with that incident and tried to get away. Tried.

Those two together were quite persistent, especially Tsuna. No one could resist Tsuna, at least not that easily or was a professional at the whole thing. And he found himself here, in the hospital bed, with Mukuro right next to him. He sneered at the fact. He had to be with this person of all people.

"Well, you two have fun. Enjoy your stay." Reborn tilted his fedora, smirking at the sight of the two and chuckled in amusement. He closed the door and smirked once more, lingering for just a bit to wait and see what would happen next. And he was right. Immediately, there was yelling and things breaking behind that closed door. 'Well, guess I better tell Tsuna that their stay is going to be extended greatly. They won't be able to come to work for a while, so I'll have to deduct this from their paychecks.'


Sorry for the lateness :)
