I am still lazy but I will let you know that I plan to finish the fic until the end of the month if possible. It quite close to the end. I never really thought I would come so far. Thank you! Now my thanks to my dears that favorite/followed: Scrittorebee, waiting247, FallenThorns.

Starstorm 10: Kufufufu, I will tell you because you will discover in this chapter but, yeah, it is a 1827. I just love them, what can I do?

SilverWhiteDragon: Yeah, me too. We are too used to TYL! Fran, and is that how I like him better… Bel x Fran is one of my favorites shipps in KHR.

AnimeLover (Guest): Yeah, G27 is not my favorite shipp too, but Hibari needed a… push… to act out his feelings. I love 8059 even though I never read a lot about them; it is like they are always certain in all stories, and in my mind.

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR or any of the characters.

Reaching For The Sky

Chapter 10: Prelude

It is Thursday evening and our beloved teens meet again at the Reception Room before going home. It is been the call all of them had been waiting. Tsuna has finally decided. Hence why they were all reunited and quite as the anticipation made the mood feel heavier. They shifted in their place staring at their boss who had only been there standing still for a few minutes now.

"Ne, Tsuna?" Yamamoto called "Are you all right?"

Tsuna nodded absentminded and took a deep breath. "I have thought a lot about your opinions and what would be good for our family in these past days" he started in a distant tone "I have come to a conclusion that I believe shall make everyone happy in the end" he took another deep breath before continuing in a boss like voice "I decided that we will regard our siblings as just our brothers before acting against the Vongola in itself. But that is complicated in itself since if we act against them as the Impero famiglia it would begin a war. So I plan to try to follow Chrome idea as it will be the most beneficial to the family."

Some gasped with surprise at the implications of what Tsuna said. Others didn't really understood and only stared dumbly in their boss way.

"Tsuna-sama you don't mean…?" Gokudera asked startled.

Tsuna nodded. "That is right Hayato." He looked apologetic to his guardians "So that we won't start a war now we should guide our brothers to the realization of who we are."

"How would we do that? And what do you plan to do after they discover?" Mukuro asked.

"I plan to make them understand why we are angry first" Tsuna answered "We will test them in the way we do better. Fighting. We will attract them to the training grounds in the basement of our base; there they will fall in a powerful illusion so they can… understand us better."

"An illusion?" Chrome asked shyly "It will be difficult… they are many and powerful, they won't fall easily." She finished looking worried at Mukuro.

"Ushishsishi that is why you are weak, peasant" A blond with a crown in his head said entering the room.

The guardians looked startled at the new person.

"How did you pass the barrier, fake prince?" Gokudera asked angrily.

"Ushishishishi the prince can do anything"

"Wait senpai" a monotonous voice called entering the room "Why did you attached my hat in the wall with that knife?" said a teen with teal hair and a frog hat.

"You can't be serious Tsunayoshi" Mukuro said in disbelief.

"Ah master" said the froggie in a false surprise "fancy seeing you here"

Tsuna cleared his throat to call back the attention.

"I have been in touch with Fran and his new colleagues from the Varia since he left to Italy. They agreed to help in our… game" he said the last word unsure.

"But they follow orders from Vongola" Gokudera protested. "We can't trust them"

"The prince doesn't receive orders from no one other than the boss" Bel said bored.

"And what Xanxus thought about it?" Yamamoto asked.

"Boss thought it was entertaining and said he would lend us to the game if he could watch" Fran stated.

Tsuna sighed.

"I agreed with him that he would have the best view from the events from our cameras. In the other hand he agreed to lend Marmom and Fran to help with the illusions."

"So what is the fake prince doing here?" Gokudera asked warily.

"Ushishishishi the prince goes where he want to."

"Senpai was bored since we are on vacation and came along." Fran explained what won him a knife in his hat. "Ouch! Senpai that hurts." He stated in his usual bored tone.

"They just came to say 'hi' Hayato" Tsuna explained.

"What is the rest of the plan?" Lambo asked curiously "You still didn't said how we will attract them there too."

Tsuna gave a cold smiled "After we finish with our little show I will give permission to you guys fight them" with a mischievous glint in the eye he continued "As to how we will lure them… don't worry they already received a message with information from a informant of the CEDEF that we leaked. When they arrive at the place I will make them follow me to the base."

"How will they know who we are?" Mukuro asked again.

"Starting now I give you permission to use the Metal Gears." Tsuna stated "Tomorrow night we will begin the operation." He ordered "We will meet at 8 p.m. in the underground of the base when I will be bringing our … guests" he finished. "Mukuro and Chrome should talk to Fran and Marmom to make the arrangements to tomorrow since they already know what to do." He said as an afterthought. "Dismissed" he called out the meeting.

Tsuna observed in a daze as his friends would group up and head out, some jumping on Fran in a loud reencounter after so many years. The chatting had already disappeared from hearing range when Tsuna finally turned to the only person who remained in the room with him.

Hibari was used to Tsuna staying later after their meetings so that he could talk about what they had just discussed since he valorized his opinion. But today he was quite surprised, not that he showed at all. He didn't thought that Tsuna would want to be alone with him so soon after the incident in Monday, which happened in a situation just too similar to this one.

Tsuna noticed the other gaze and automatically look in his eyes just to find it too embarrassing and look down at a more secure level, like his chest. But, oh boy he had such a toned body and the white shirt just made it more obviously as it would define even more the lines of his upper body. Tsuna face palmed mentally. He turned his gaze to his own hands not trusting his own thought s to look even near Hibari.

"Kyoya" he called in a soft tone with a shocking confidence that didn't matched the blush in his checks and the shy way he fidget his hands at the hem of his shirt. "I thought we should talk about what happened the other day."

Hibari knew it was coming and just sighed.

"I am listening"

Tsuna half smiled at Hibari short answer.

"I think – you said…" he trailed off not knowing how to begin "Y-you sa-said that I w-was … y-yours" he stuttered blushing harder at each word. "I think…" he said taking a deep breath before continuing "I think that I like you" he admitted "But I like Giotto a lot too" he said with a sad look, not that the other could notice since Tsuna was still looking down "I don't like him the way I do like you, but I can't be with you… yet" he said trying a quick glance up to found Hibari with a smug smile. Without understanding he continued "I can't move on from my memories of him, I admired him so much, I need to settle things with him before anything else. Maybe after tomorrow all will be over but I…" he trailed off again not know what exactly he wanted to say. What he wanted? For the other to wait a little more?

Hibari let the smile grown in his face as he caressed Tsuna face before slowly cupping his chin and forcing him to look in his eyes.

"I don't care" He stated simply. At the confused look in the brunet face he elaborated "I don't care what that herbivore is for you and I don't care how you feel. After all you already are mine." He finished with a malicious smile that made Tsuna melt even more than from the words.

"Kyoya… I –" Tsuna tried speaking only to be stopped by a pair of lips on his. He didn't even try to fight back and gave the other the leadership. Hibari was happy that the other didn't try to push him away and warped his hand in the boy's waist to bring him closer, the other hand in the back of Tsuna's neck. Tsuna promptly opened his mouth to the other's demanding tongue and moaned in the kiss when the older one shifted their tongues together while unconsciously putting his hands on the black locks to pull their mouths closer. Hibari took his time mapping Tsuna mouth until the air became a necessity.

They broke the kiss panting. Hibari seemed to evaluate the brunet for a moment before stopping and holding his gaze.

"You won't get off so easily after tomorrow" he said with a smirk before making his way out of the room where the brunet tried to compose himself.
