That morning, Tsuna woke up as usual. Although he was a bit freaked out as to why Hibari was sleeping in the same bed, quickly he recalled the previous fight and all the talking they both had last night. Tsuna supressed a sigh and smiled. Looking at Hibari, he knew the man was exhausted and tired. Tsuna just couldn't be angry or furious at him for sleeping in his room.
"Hibari-san..." Tsuna murmured gently, trying to wake him up. He tried again, but suddenly a sharp blow landed on his injured head. So he screamed on top of his lung. "OUCH!!!"
"Ciaossu." Reborn greeted simply, after giving the deadly kick he rested himself on the bed. "Had a good sleep?"
"Reborn!!!!!" Tsuna hissed painfully rubbing his head. "Yeah, I had a good sleep. I only had a bad wake up call." He continued sarcastically, glowering at Reborn who smirked.
"Do you think you're the only one?" The husky sleepy voice made Tsuna jerked up. At the side, Hibari looked irritated. "I told you don't be too noisy, Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna gulped. "Not me!!! It's him!" He replied in panic, pointing at Reborn.
Hibari looked at them, frowning. "Do I have to bite you two to death?"
"That'll be good." Reborn responded with a sneer as he jumped from the bed and landed on the floor. "Idiot Tsuna, I leave the rest to you." So he retreated from the room.
The ashen looking Tsuna turned paler when he heard Hibari's cold remark.
"I'll bite you to death for disturbing my sleep."
And thus, the whole mansion was woken up by a scream from the dear Decimo.
-------
"Boss, don't forget your sweater. It's cold outside." Chrome told him, folding the sweater neatly and gave it to him.
"Thanks, Chrome." Tsuna exclaimed appreciatively.
"Hurry up, idiot Tsuna." Reborn called out. He was already seated in the limousine, looking bored.
"Well Hibari-san, we should go now." Tsuna said to Hibari, who nodded and pushed the wheelchair towards the limousine. But Gokudera stopped them.
"Gokudera?"
"Tenth, I don't approve of letting this bastard to go together with you!!! After all he did to you!" Gokudera ranted with a scowl. "Plus, he even dared to beat you this very morning, Tenth!!! If I didn't rush to your room, who knows what this perverted guy might do to you!!!" He continued hysterically.
Tsuna sighed. 'This again…' He thought. "Its okay, Gokudera. Reborn's coming with us too, you shouldn't worry that much."
"But – "
"Do you need some beating, Gokudera Hayato?" Hibari threatened coldly.
"You bastard!!!" Gokudera took out his trademark weapon only to be stopped by Yamamoto.
"Come on, Gokudera. You can't expect Tsuna to push his wheelchair alone without someone's help. You should relax a bit." Yamamoto said with a grin.
"How can I?!! He's going out with Tenth when we got stuck doing all those paper works!!" Gokudera replied furiously.
'Huh, now you're sounding more like me.' Tsuna mused, smirking. Then he made his puppy eyes. Oh yeah, he was really good at this. "So Gokudera, you're saying you don't like doing my works? I'm really sorry to burden you with such useless stuff." He said with innocent pitiful face.
Gokudera flushed. "N.. No, Tenth!! You misunderstood, Tenth!! I apologize for my words. Certainly, I really love doing your works!"
"Really?" Tsuna turned bright. "Thank you!"
"Have a safe trip, Tsuna. To wherever Reborn takes you to." Yamamoto said, grinning as Tsuna grimaced.
"Thanks, Yamamoto. I really need that kind of luck right now. Who knows what that kid is planning for me." Tsuna muttered worriedly.
"Kufufu, don't worry, Vongola." Mukuro interrupted. "You will be safe with your cloud guardian, I assume." He continued, smiling eerily at Hibari who was sneering.
"Make your wish." Hibari scoffed as he continued to push the wheelchair towards the limousine. The guardians only looked from behind, wishing the safety of their boss.
--
"Well, don't exaggerate too much. I don't intend on taking you to your grave, idiot Tsuna." Reborn said, smirking. They were now on the way to wherever Reborn wanted to take them to.
Tsuna frowned. "Then where're we going? You haven't told us anything!"
"Just some sight-seeing."
"Sight-seeing?" Tsuna repeated suspiciously. "Sight-seeing?"
"Yes. Now, no questions. I'm going to sleep for a while." Reborn said, so he pulled on his blanket (don't know where he got that from) and after a while Tsuna could see a bubble came out from the kid's nose.
Tsuna groaned. "He always does that."
"I want some peace and quiet, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Hibari said as he closed his eyes, wanting to sleep.
'Not Hibari-san, too!' Tsuna thought, sighing.
--
"Here we are." Reborn stated as they arrived at the place.
Tsuna gaped. "This is…" He looked around. The place was actually a stadium and they were currently at the huge parking lot. The stadium was, to say the least, the most attractive building compared to its neighbours. It didn't look like some old classic buildings like most of the buildings in Italy were, it was so bright and outstanding. And new, too.
"Colourful." Hibari commented aloofly.
Tsuna laughed. "True indeed."
"Good morning, Sawada, Hibari." A voice greeted them and they turned to look at Musashi who was approaching them.
"Oh, Musashi-san!" Tsuna exclaimed happily. "Nice to see you again!"
Musashi smiled. "Me too. Although you look like you just came out from a shark's mouth." He muttered looking at the guy on the wheelchair, noticing Hibari was just as in bad condition as Tsuna with bandages all around.
Tsuna chuckled. "Well, it isn't as bad as you think." He replied.
"Reborn called us that you would like to visit the newly built stadium today." Musashi turned to look at the kid beside Tsuna.
"Ciaossu." Reborn gave his trademark greeting. "We are exhilarated to be given the tour around."
"Certainly." Musashi replied. "Let's go and meet Hiruma, first."
"Ya~ha!!!" Hiruma exclaimed. "You look really well today!" He said mockingly.
"Yeah, thank you." Tsuna replied, rolling his eyes. "You look happy. Satisfied with your business here?"
"Money is rolling to me that I can't fit them in my pockets anymore!!" Hiruma said, laughing maniacally.
"Idiot Tsuna, you and Hibari take your time outside." Reborn told them. "I want to discuss something with Hiruma." He added, smirking. Hiruma simpered.
"Okay." Tsuna replied curiously. 'Although I'm very interested, but I shouldn't pry into Reborn's secretive business.' So, he wheeled out with Hibari.
"They really did it, huh." Tsuna muttered, impressed as he stroll along the corridor. "Let's go check out the field!!! I'm gonna throw some balls!"
Hibari snorted. "Do I have to remind you that you're in a wheelchair right now? You can't even stand up properly."
'And whose fault is that?' Tsuna thought, glaring slightly at Hibari. "Anyway, I still want to play." He said stubbornly.
"You can't even play sports." Hibari stated tediously. "Do I have to even remind you about that, Sawada Tsunayoshi?" He scoffed.
"Don't make fun of me!" Tsuna hissed in annoyance. "You don't know how much I've improved these past years!"
Hibari smirked. "Wao, I don't know you show some enthusiasm in sports." He said in amusement. "We'll see about that."
'Great. Somehow I think he's simply playing with me.' Tsuna mused, blushing slightly. 'But… I guess it's okay if it's Hibari-san.'
Tsuna's eyes widened in excitement, the whole field was lying in front of him. "I've never set foot in amefuto's field before!" He exclaimed. Then, he saw some familiar men at the corner practicing. "Oh look there, Hibari-san! There they are!"
"Ah, it's mafia-sama!!!" Sena blurted out, noticing the two approaching them.
All of them stopped practicing. "Geez Sena, you don't call him 'mafia-sama'. It's Tsuna!!!" Suzuna said, happily walking towards them.
"Hello!!" Tsuna greeted cheerfully. "Sorry to bother you practicing." He added guiltily.
"It's okay to the MAX!!! The practice's almost over, anyway." Monta replied, shaking hands with Tsuna and Hibari (ignoring that Hibari cast a distasteful glare at him).
"Hiruma had told us that you'd come." Shin said, picking the balls and kept them away.
"Ah wait, Shin-san. I would like to try throwing some balls if you don't mind." Tsuna said hopefully.
"Sure." Shin replied, smiling a bit. "Here, throw it to Sena and Sena'll score a touchdown." He continued, throwing a ball at Tsuna who barely caught it. "And I'll stop him with my special technique, Trident Tackle." He added as an afterthought.
Tsuna's eyes gleamed brightly. "Okay!"
"No need to be happy. You only get to throw it." Hibari muttered.
"I'll be stopped for sure by Shin. This will be painful.." Sena groaned as Suzuna patted him pitifully.
"Here goes!!!" Tsuna said seriously, throwing the ball at Sena. Or at least, making an attempt to throw the ball at the right direction. Well he did, but the ball didn't get to reach even half of the distance.
They all blinked.
"What the…" Tsuna muttered, feeling embarrassed as all of them looked at him.
Hibari snickered. "Looks like you really don't have the talent in sports." He said, smirking.
Tsuna's face reddened. "It's because Sena-san is too far!!!" He replied defensively.
"Well, that's a reason. But…" Suzuna picked the ball and from Tsuna's side, she threw the ball and Sena grabbed it easily. "See? Even I can do it." She said bluntly at the awestruck-looking Tsuna.
"And you're supposed to be a mafia." Monta mumbled.
"How does being a mafia get anything to do with sports, anyway?" Tsuna snapped back, feeling his pride and dignity (if he has one) shattered in the second.
"Its okay, mafia-sama. I was once like that too." Sena said, recalling his schooldays during the time Hiruma recruited him as a secretary for the club. "I was bad at first."
"And now you've become one of the strongest NFL players." Shin remarked slightly proud of the small guy.
Sena chuckled. "You too, Shin. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been here at all." He said.
"Not again, being all modest even with your lover." Suzuna muttered, sneering.
Hearing this, Tsuna choked several times. "Wait, what?" He asked warily.
"Oops." Suzuna covered her mouth with her hands. "I shouldn't say that."
Tsuna looked at Sena who was sweat-dropping, face's red at the same time. Shin looked expressionless as ever, though.
"You guys are..?" Tsuna narrowed his eyes.
"Well.." Sena laughed nervously. "We're not supposed to tell this to public. But we're…"
Shin looked at him. "We're lovers." He finished it for Sena.
Tsuna's eyes widened in shock as he, forgetting that he shouldn't stand up due to the so-called breaking news, did stand on his feet only to fall at the side of his wheelchair. Thankfully Hibari managed to grab him from tumbling to the ground.
"He looks upset." Sena muttered, amused. He never got to see this kind of reaction before. The first time hearing the news, Suzuna only shrugged saying that she knew it from the start, while Monta doing his pose shouting 'I'm jealous to the max!' and Mamori only smiled in encouragement.
"Shocking news. Who would've imagined the two nemesis end up liking each other?" Monta said, rolling his eyes as he munched on some bananas.
"Ah, sorry about that." Sena mumbled guiltily, still blushing. "It's just that Shin has been taking care of me a lot and so…" His voice trailed away.
"Sena is the only one who would stay by my side. The others are always avoiding me." Shin said truthfully.
"It's because you're stiff and you're not funny. All girls want someone cool." Suzuna said pointedly. "But I guess you two still make a good couple."
"T… Thanks." Sena muttered bashfully.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, are you okay?" Hibari asked as Tsuna regained his consciousness.
"I'm fine." He replied, rubbing his head gingerly. "It's the second shocking news I received for these past weeks." He added, sighing. 'After Yamamoto and Gokudera. God, is female population decreasing nowadays?'
"So Tsu-chan, don't tell this secret to anyone, okay? We don't wanna have them react like what you did just now." Suzuna told him seriously.
Tsuna nodded. "I'll keep the secret. Hibari-san will, too." He said assuredly. 'This girl, from Sawada to Tsuna and now Tsu-chan..?'
After saying goodbye and all, Tsuna and Hibari left the field with mixed feelings. They decided to wait for Reborn at the limousine.
"They're so unpredictable." Tsuna sighed, looking at Hibari. "But you didn't look shocked at all."
"Because it doesn't concern me." Hibari replied indifferently. "Plus, I'm used to it."
"So you're also a homo – !!"
"I'm not, and don't you dare having dirty thoughts about me, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Hibari cut off with intimidating look.
"I'm just joking." Tsuna mumbled.
"Hmph." Hibari turned away. "I do not accept that kind of jokes." He said, looking outside the window in a bored way.
Tsuna watched him. 'Hibari-san's very obstinate.' He mused. 'Unpredictable, and unruly too. He's always resolute in everything he does that sometimes I feel like actually I'm the one depending on him.' He stared at the solid figure of the man, at how smartly and formally the man behaved. His hands folded and his head still directed at outside the window, seeming too immersed in his thoughts. Hibari never bowed to others, only looking with his head raised up. Tsuna stifled a chuckle. 'That's how Hibari-san is. He's very proud of himself, of who he is.'
"What is it?" Hibari's voice made him turned back to reality.
"Eh?" Tsuna blurted out.
"I ask you, what is it?" Hibari sounded impatient.
"It's… Nothing." Tsuna replied, feeling embarrassed that Hibari has caught him staring like that.
Hibari growled in annoyance. "It's the second time, Sawada Tsunayoshi. You were staring at me and when I asked you said nothing. Do you want to get bitten to death?"
Tsuna gulped. "No. It's just… I was just staring. It's not wrong." He replied defensively.
Hibari blinked, before he leaned closer.
"Hibari-san?" Tsuna fidgeted nervously.
"And what thoughts occupied your mind… when you were staring at me?" Hibari asked, smirking as he put his hand around Tsuna.
"Nothing… Hibari-san!" Tsuna tried to wriggle to get free, blushing furiously. 'Now what? He acts like he's some kind of.. of Casanova!!!'
Hibari's smirk turned wider. "You're lying, Sawada Tsunayoshi. What are you thinking?"
"Hibari-san, let go!" Tsuna tried again, but Hibari's grip around his shoulder just got tighter. 'Is he crazy?!!!' He thought wildly, his first kiss once again intruded his mind. "Let go!! Or else I.. I bite you to death!" That was Tsuna's failed attempt to threaten Hibari anyway, because the older man snorted.
"You want to bite me to death?" Hibari repeated, currently entertaining himself as Tsuna was struggling. "Go on, then."
'What?!!' Tsuna thought in shock. 'What's going on?!'
"Ciaossu, what're you doing?" Reborn asked as he suddenly appeared outside the limousine with the chauffeur at his side. "I've just finished my business and here you are, doing something inappropriate." He continued mockingly with a sigh.
"That's not it!" Tsuna retorted, still blushing as Hibari pulled his hand away.
"I was just playing around." Hibari stated with a satisfied smirk.
"Play… Playing around?!" Tsuna repeated in shock.
"Why, it's disappointing, isn't it?" Hibari scoffed. "You must have wanted more."
"I did not!!!" Tsuna replied, face reddened with embarrassment. "You're the worst, Hibari-san!! I'll never talk to you ever again!" He added heatedly.
Hibari just smirked.
"Stop playing, you two. We're going back." Reborn said.
"Stupid.." Tsuna muttered with gritted teeth. 'He's such a jerk! I never knew he's so playful!!' He thought furiously. 'He must have been so happy if he's this playful.. I wonder what makes him so happy.' He pondered thoughtfully, glancing at Hibari. 'But.. I don't dislike him being like this.' He continued with a small smile, but then again was caught by Hibari and Tsuna quickly looked away with flushed cheeks, ignoring Hibari's sly smirk.
This is all I can do for now.. Short as always. But it has Eyeshield in it. :)
Sorry if it's a bit crappy, I'm sleepy and I'm too tired to check all the errors. Later (maybe).
And yes, I like the way Hibari playing with Tsuna all the time. He's cold and all but still he teased Tsuna so much! And Tsuna's still so dense.. Couldn't help it.
Okay. Hibari?? Teasing people?? Sounds OC to me. But I want to remind you guys that this story takes place four years later after the TYL! arc. That's why when writing this story, I assume that the characters have changed or matured a little bit.. Escpecially Tsuna and Hibari, of course. Tsuna's now a mafia boss, so I made a dark side for him, like a dark past or something. While Hibari is now a guardian of Vongola, so I just refer to the TYLHibari.
I dunno where this story will take us,, but keep reading!! :D
Lambo : Gahaha!!! I don't want candies anymore! I want reviews!! Or else Lambo's gonna cry!!!! Got to.. stay.. calm. (shoot himself with the TYL bazooka)
