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 10

Monday soon came fast. It was a day that Tsuna looked forward to, and when asked why the reason was rather simple. Spending the whole weekend in bed was boring and one thing Tsuna couldn't stand was having nothing to do. Well, another reason why he was keen to be back in school was actually because he had done all his homework and couldn't wait to see his teachers' reaction.

Gokudera and Yamamoto had dropped by his house on Saturday with lots of sushi and seeing that Tsuna had the free time since he was sick they had decided to help him with his homework. Math was complicated and it was a good thing that Gokudera was more than willing to teach Tsuna because Yamamoto wasn't exactly the best in math and had gotten stuck on many of the questions on Tsuna's homework paper. But Yamamoto was a fast learner, so whenever he caught up to Gokudera's explanation he would translate it into a simpler language that he knew Tsuna could understand which Tsuna was really thankful for.

They arrived to school early that Monday morning and Tsuna already could feel his heart pounding rather loudly. He could feel his head being overwhelmed by images of Hibari-san and seriously, he wasn't sure now if he wanted to see the prefect or not. Well, he wanted to see HIbari-san but the thing was, well, he also knew he would feel embarrassed if he saw the prefect right now, which was really contradicting and confusing since even he himself didn't know why he was feeling this way.

As fate would turn out, whether good or bad, Hibari was at the school gates today. Just the sight of him made Tsuna sweat waterfalls and suddenly taken over by a small bit of courage, a very small bit mind you, he actually ran forward to manage out a shaky, "G-Good morning, Hibari-san." It was a small bit of courage that kicked off to a great head start.

Hibari raised an eyebrow when he heard that but said nothing. The hopeful look in Tsuna's eyes dimmed a little as he realized that the prefect hadn't even said a word. Then the look in Hibari's eyes changed as he suddenly seemed to make sense of Tsunayoshi's morning greeting and just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, a hot headed silverette quickly pulled back Tsuna which caused a hidden flash of annoyance in Hibari's eyes but that quickly turned passive.

"Tenth, are you alright? Suddenly rushing off like that!" Gokudera asked worriedly, not mentioning Hibari's name intentionally. Tsuna blinked a few times before smiling weakly, "Ha, yeah, I'm alright."

"Well, let's hurry then. It looks like we're going to be late for first period if we don't hurry." Yamamoto said and Tsuna nodded, the trio rushing to make it for their first class. Gokudera turned back one last time to glare at Hibari. Shoot, what does that bastard want from the Tenth?

Hibari just looked away, not caring if that made Gokudera's irritation spike up ten folds. Tch…whatever. He turned back and before he knew it, he was arguing with Yamamoto who didn't seem to understand that walking under ladders was considered very bad luck.

Tsuna was feeling slightly happy today. He could feel it, his intuition told him somehow that Hibari had wanted to answer him but before he had gotten the chance Gokudera had already pulled him away, probably shattering the sweet moment of him finally getting to hear Hibari-san's reply. Well, Tsuna wasn't angry though. Gokudera had probably meant for his own good, so it wasn't really his fault for not knowing just how much Tsuna may be obsessed with Hibari-san. A really, really tiny little bit though. He sighed dreamily.

"So, Dame-Tsuna, care to repeat what I've just said?" The whole class snickered and Tsuna was snapped out of his day dream.

"W-What?" He asked and then mentally cursed himself. Crap, first period was homeroom which meant the devil himself was teaching and he just had to let himself not pay attention for a little while.

"Yes, Reboyama-Sensei?" Tsuna asked again, his voice a little stronger this time.

"I asked," Reborn repeated, purposely making this voice sound like he was explaining something to a three-year old, "would you like to repeat what I've just said?" Tsuna shook his head, embarrassed.

"Um, I don't know. I wasn't really listening. Sorry." Tsuna apologized and Reborn smirked.

"Well, well," Reborn clapped his hands, "I'll just have to say everything again. Be sure to pay attention to this, Tsuna, because I won't be repeating it again." Reborn surveyed the whole class.

"Okay, tomorrow Tuesday we'll be having a field trip down to the country side for the whole day from eight to five in the evening. Be grateful, everyone, because the sponsor's someone rich and clearly generous enough to pay for the whole class's fare there. Bring your water bottle, umbrella in case it rains and whatever hell lot of snacks you want because there will be no allowing of purchase of food there. That aren't actually any stores selling food there so, class, if food is your life bring as much food as you can and you won't starve to death. Take note, everyone." There was scribbling of words in organizers as many people silently promised to bring as much snacks as they could the next day.

Tsuna could only relax back into his seat when he heard the bell ring indicating that first period was over. Ah..finally. At least I don't see Reborn until evening today. That was good.

Tsuna actually enjoyed all his lessons through the whole day as his teachers didn't scold him and was actually quite impressed by the fact that he had completed all of their homework on time since ages. And better yet, there were no homework today!

He could almost say that he had skipped happily back the whole way home. After having said goodbye to Gokudera and Yamamoto, he peeled off his shoes at the door with a smile on his face and went to inform his mother that he was home before taking a bath and then having dinner.

He was about to go to room when he saw Reborn eating some chocolates in the kitchen.

"Want some?" Reborn chewed and swallowed as he offered Tsuna the whole packet.

"Um, sure?" Tsuna said as he reached out a hand to take out some before popping them into his mouth to let them melt. Oh, milk chocolates. His favourite. He looked at Reborn with a little caution, wondering why Reborn was so willing to share the chocolates with him when he suddenly choked. Gosh, don't tell me that it's poisoned?"

Reborn glanced at him coughing harshly before slapping hard on Tsuna's back to try relief him. Tsuna thought that Reborn was hitting a little too hard and many times on purpose though.

"Don't worry; I didn't add anything to the chocolates." Reborn said. "They were yours at first anyways. Mama bought them for you as a get-well gift for your recovery."

And you ate them? Tsuna's eyes burned a little. What a demon! "Whatever, I'll going to bed now."

Reborn nodded as he continued digging his hand in the chocolate packet. "Yeah, I'll tell Mama later. Go to sleep early, tomorrow you've got to go to school by seven for a pre-briefing of the trip." Tsuna nodded.

"Thanks."

"No prob. Free info for your chocolates."

"…You can have them all, if you wish."

"Then I shall not hold back anymore." Tsuna nodded one last time before he yawned and made his way to his bedroom.

Pushing the window open just like how he did every night to allow air circulation in his room, Tsuna collapsed onto his bed and snuggled deep under his covers. Today had run off rather fast paced and now it was time to sleep. I welcome anyone to take me off to dreamland, Tsuna thought drowsily as he turned to face the ceiling, his hands and legs stretched open like a star fish. Gah, the bed was comfortable.

The sound of the wind blowing was a little off and Tsuna's senses were suddenly all on high alert and he wasn't that feeling sleepy right now anymore. Footsteps soft as they advanced towards him; Tsuna could not bring himself to speak. It was like a spell, a magical one where he knew he should have been surprised but at the same time he was not. The prefect was here the second time in his room and honestly he should have been shocked, but somehow he just wasn't.

"Hibari-san," he breath out.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi," came the prefect's smooth answer. They were both so still in the darkness, as if neither of them had wanted to be the one to make the first move.

"Hibari-san," Tsuna called again. There was silence, before a soft "Tsunayoshi".

"Hibari," Tsuna tried, and to his surprise the prefect hadn't attempted to bite him to death at all.

"Hibari," Tsuna called out in wonder, somehow knowing this would be the closest Hibari-san would ever let him call him for tonight.

"Hibari," Tsuna said again before a hand gently placed itself on his eyes and covered them. HIbari's hand was warm.

"Sleep," the prefect ordered and he complied, and as he slowly doze off he could no longer deny it but maybe his liking for Hibari-san may be increasing a little. So it was Hibari-san who was going to take him off to dreamland, huh?

"Goodnight, Hibari." It was all quiet again.

Then softly, a "goodnight, Tsunayoshi".

I decided that I would try to leave the Vongola's matters aside in this story for the time being and try to concentrate more on Hibari's and Tsuna's school love life. I am hoping for Hibari and Tsuna to try call each other by first name basis, because I think it's kinda cute for Tsuna to be special enough for Hibari to let him call him 'Kyouya'.

Hope you enjoy.
