Title: Hair
Summary: A short conversation between Tsuna and Kyouya about the latter's hair.
Story Type: Drabble-ish
A/N: So, considering that I have a lemon in this series, I have now changed the rating from T to M. I'm not sure if there's going to be another one, but if you guys request it, I'll write it. I'n fact, I'd appreciate it if you guys would request something. I need some inspiration and I'm not that much of a picky girl... though I will not do any femTsuna or femHibari or femAnyone... straight couples make me puke...
Tsuna collapsed against the wall of the training room, panting heavily as his Dying Will flame flickered out of existence. He wiped away the mixture of sweat and blood that trickled down the side of his face as he stared at Kyouya, his ten-year-older Cloud Guardian, who was watching him from afar, tonfa-bearing arms hanging at his sides and blue-gray eyes giving the young Vongola boss a slightly curious look.
"Five minutes, then we begin again," Kyouya said, his voice monotone as usual, and Tsuna felt relief pass through his body as he sank to the ground, resting his aching everything.
Kyouya opened his box and allowed his tonfas to get sucked inside before he walked towards where Tsuna was resting. In a moment of hysteria, Tsuna thought that the former prefect was going for him, but then he realized that Kyouya was only heading for the wall. The dark-haired man leaned upon it and crossed his arms against his chest, shutting out everything around him as he closed his eyes.
Taking advantage of the peace, Tsuna observed Kyouya from his low angle, taking in every detail of his Cloud Guardian because he couldn't do so before, considering their training and how aloof the former prefect was, refusing to be with the others. He saw that Kyouya was practically the same as his younger self, but he knew that since he first met the older Kyouya a couple days ago; he was still tall, proud, unmovable, invincible, and every other word that could possibly describe him. But there was one thing that bothered Tsuna, though the thing itself was a bit irrational to an extent.
"Hi-Hibari-san?"
To Tsuna's surprise, Kyouya opened his eyes and turned his head to look down at the young Vongola, giving him his full attention.
"What is it herbivore?" Kyouya asked and Tsuna jumped, still very nervous around his Cloud Guardian.
"A-Ano..." Tsuna said, giving the dark-haired man a twitchy smile, which was rewarded with a raised eyebrow. "I-I was just wondering... d-did you cut your hair?"
The other thin eyebrow joined its brother and Tsuna nearly had a heart attack at the unfamiliar expression on Kyouya's face. Blue-gray eyes studied him a bit, as if making sure that he was serious about that completely random question, then Kyouya looked away, placing his attention on the opposite wall several meters in front of them.
"Why do you ask such an unnecessary question?" he asked back and Tsuna's face flushed in embarrassment.
"W-Well, I just noticed that it was shorter then when you were ten years younger," the Decimo said, eying the strands of jet-black hair that slightly stuck up from Kyouya's head, unlike the long tresses that belonged to the Kyouya of ten years ago. "I-I'm not saying that it doesn't look good! It's just that... I think you look better with your hair just a little bit longer, like before."
Kyouya looked back down at Tsuna, who now had his wide brown eyes transfixed to the floor. As he stared, his lips curved upwards into what could've been a smile, but it quickly morphed into the smirk that he was so famous for (excluding the other aloof Guardian whose name started with an M and ended with an O).
But that wasn't the surprising part. The surprising part was when Kyouya chuckled, causing Tsuna to shoot his head back up and gape at the older man.
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Kyouya said and he chuckled even more at the wide-eyed look Tsuna gave him. "Your older self says the same thing to me whenever he noticed I had my hair cut."
Tsuna blinked, surprised at Kyouya's sudden reference to his future self. Has he really become that bold ten years in the future, bold enough to say such a casual thing to Hibari Kyouya of all people?!
"Hn," The former prefect pushed himself away from the wall, releasing his flame-emitting tonfas from his box as he walked towards the middle of the large, arena-like room. "Maybe I will let my hair grow this time. After all, cutting it every month is just so troublesome."
The young Vongola's jaw fell open at Kyouya's statement, but immediately closed shut when the older man turned towards him, face regaining it's serious expression as he readied his tonfas.
"Come herbivore. Your five minutes are up."
If only he didn't bring up the subject of hair, Tsuna wouldn't have images of a long-haired Kyouya flashing though his mind.
A/N: Hehe, this chappie was pretty funny if I do say so myself, though there's a little less fluff and not really much of 1827 unless you squint (really hard might I add). And there's also a reference to a certain genius of Konoha with a 200 point IQ XP But I have to say, I was disappointed with Kyouya's beautiful hair being shorter ten years later. While everyone else's hair ten years later is longer, only his is shorter! Well, there's also Haru, but I don't really care about that way too preppy wannabe cosplayer with costumes that would make runway models commit suicide... TYL Kyouya's hair is such a fail -shakes head solemnly-
On another note, I have probably fell in love with Fon, mostly because he looks so much like Kyouya XD I wonder if they're related? I mean, if Uni's the granddaughter of Luce (presumably the original owner of the orange pacifier), can Fon be Kyouya's grandfather? It's a possibility o.O
