With You, It's Paradise
"This is pretty cool," Harry thought as he stood on a balcony overlooking a beach. At the moment he was in Italy taking a break from his studies as a magical healer. When he turned seventeen, Harry had decided to go into the medical field when it became obvious that he would be permanently involved with Vongola and the mafia. And while he had plenty of combat training from his god fathers (Sirius had been a former Auror), he also felt it was important to be knowledgeable in healing in order to effectively provide aid to his friends or lover.
So the moment he graduated, Harry had gone off to begin his schooling while Hibari and the others had begun their own training. But that was a year ago and according to Reborn they were all in need of a break which was why they found themselves at a sea side manor that the Vongola family owned. Not that Harry was complaining, it was nice to take a few days to rest and relax not to mention spend time with Hibari and his friends. They had all been so busy lately, none of them really had time to hang out.
"Even Kyouya and I barely have time together and we live in the same apartment," Harry thought as he gazed out upon the shimmering ocean of the Mediterranean Sea, taking in the exotic blue waters as they glittered under the sun. It really was perfect weather to take a vacation and Harry was happy to be there.
"Enjoying the view?" Hibari questioned as he walked up to stand next to his boyfriend. At nineteen, he was certainly a looker. He had grown several inches and his body was losing the softness of youth, filling out with sleek muscles and long limbs of an adult. Harry was starting to see the future Hibari he had met peeking out from underneath his lover and it pleased him. Harry himself had grown as well although he only reached Hibari's chin and while his own body still seemed somewhat delicate, he too was gaining muscle. He was even letting his hair grow out a bit, nothing thick but just some strands at the nape of his neck.
"Yeah, it's beautiful," Harry replied smiling as a breeze tickled his face and ruffled his hair.
"It'll be noisy with those herbivores running around," Hibari grunted crossing his arms. Harry rolled his eyes and shook his head; his lover hadn't changed in the least and he probably never would. But that's what Harry loved about Hibari, what he had come to care for and he had his sweet moments. Very few knew, but Hibari had a weakness against small cute things, especially animals. Hibird, Hedwig and Roll were testaments to that.
"Well then just enjoy the quiet now while you can," Harry advised as he pecked his lover's cheek and turned to head inside, wishing to finish unpacking and perhaps change into swimwear. The water was calling to him and who was he to deny it?
x-x-x-x-x
The afternoon had been fun. Harry had joined his friends on the beach spending time swimming, goofing off in the sand and playing volley ball. Although there were a few incidents as well; the swim race between Yamamoto and Ryohei that nearly ended in disaster due to some rocky outcrops. Then there was the fact that Gokudera almost had his head knocked off from his shoulders after Yamamoto got a little too into their volley ball game. But other than that, it was a good day.
"It would have been better if Kyouya joined us," Harry thought although he knew it was impossible. His lover despised crowds and he didn't get along with the other guardians, especially Mukuro. To have Hibari socialize with any of them was just asking for trouble.
Stretching, Harry yawned watching the sun as it began to set. It was growing late and most of the others had gone inside to wash up and change, but the wizard had wished to remain out just a little longer. It was still fairly warm outside and the colors of the fading sun embracing the sky was breath taking, he had to watch. Closing his eyes as a breeze swept over him, he thought, "I wonder where Kyouya is."
"Potter-kun!"
"Hm?" Harry glanced to his right spotting Tsuna heading his way, Mukuro not too far behind their boss. Sometimes he still had a hard time wrapping his mind around the fact that they were dating, but he supposed he had no room to judge. His relationship with Hibari didn't start out great and they were certainly the oddest couple to exist, but they managed. And really Tsuna seemed happy despite his initial embarrassment, although it had been funny when the couple first announced their relationship. Harry had of course expected Gokudera to throw a fit, but instead the poor Storm Guardian had fainted.
"Taking a walk?" Harry questioned when the pair drew closer. Tsuna nodded carrying a bucket at his side, "Yeah, Mukuro and I were looking for seashells. I want to make a necklace for Chrome as a surprise."
"That sounds like a good idea, maybe I could help you later?" Harry smiled as he offered. The wizard was fond of Chrome and while most would think of her as a weak woman who had to be taken care of, Harry thought differently. In his mind, Chrome was strong. Not physically, but spiritually she was. Despite the danger she put herself in as one half of the Mist Guardian, she tried her hardest to serve Mukuro and Tsuna. She never backed down even when she was scared or unsure of herself. It was something he admired about her.
"Yes, I think Nagi would appreciate that," Mukuro stated his arm moving to rest lightly around Tsuna's waist, much to the brunette's embarrassment. Yes Mukuro was a bit of a pervert and he was odd not to mention dangerous, but Harry could tell he had genuinely come to care for Tsuna. He was as protective of their sky as he was of Chrome and that was saying something. And strangely enough, he was a bit protective of Harry.
Since they met, they had formed an understanding between them which eventually led to a peculiar sort of friendship. Of course they could butt heads and get on each other's nerves, but it wasn't too bad. Hibari wasn't happy of course and he still didn't accept that his enemy was friends with his lover, but they all learned to deal. Of course sometimes it didn't help that Mukuro would purposely bait Hibari, but usually either Tsuna or Harry would remind the Mist Guardian why they shouldn't be trifled with.
"Where's Hibari-san? I haven't seen him all day," Tsuna inquired glancing around as if the Cloud Guardian would appear like magic. Harry shrugged, "Don't know, he didn't want to come down to the beach because of obvious reasons so I haven't seen him myself. Chances are though he's probably inside resting in our room. He's been rather busy lately."
"Kufufufu, having marital problems Harry-chan?" Mukuro chuckled, "You're more than welcome to join Tsunayoshi and I should you become bored."
"M-Mukuro!" Tsuna yelped flushing deeply, yet he looked slightly disturbed too which Harry couldn't blame him. To even think about having sex with Tsuna was enough to warrant therapy. He and Harry were close friends, practically family and it just wasn't right in their minds. Harry shook his head, "Okay for one, Tsuna is like my brother and I don't know what fetishes you're into Mukuro nor do I want to know. But the bottom line is that I'm not into incest. Two, Kyouya and I aren't married."
"Yet, he will ask you eventually," Mukuro chuckled, "But no need to get so huffy Harry-chan, I was merely teasing you."
"You're a pervert Mukuro," Tsuna grumbled. The Mist Guardian grinned and leaned close nipping at Tsuna's ear, "Only for you my Tsunayoshi."
"If you make him blush any more, he might pass out from overheating," Harry remarked. Mukuro just laughed.
"W-Well, it's getting late. We should head inside," Tsuna advised squirming as he felt Mukuro's hand creep slowly down his backside. Rolling his eyes, Harry sighed, "I think I'll stay out here just a little longer."
"Are you sure?" Tsuna's wide brown eyes gazed at his friend with concern and even Mukuro showed the faintest of unease. Honestly everyone worried about him too much; so what if he still had dark wizards after him and people obsessed with his fame? It wasn't like he couldn't take care of himself, he was beginning to build his reputation in the mafia world; he had been dubbed the Mage of Vongola. And if that wasn't a testament to his abilities, Harry wasn't sure what would ease his friends' anxiety.
"I'll be fine, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be back inside in a little while, I just really want to enjoy the view," he assured them. Tsuna shifted nervously, "If you're sure."
"Now, now Tsunayoshi if Harry-chan says he'll be in then he'll be in," Mukuro coaxed as he rubbed his boyfriend's back.
"Oh well… okay then. We'll see you inside Potter-kun," Tsuna smiled. Harry returned the gesture and waved as they walked off before settling back. Once more the quiet settled allowing Harry to enjoy the beauty of the sight before him. He closed his eyes and listened to the crashing waves as the tides came and went. He smelled the salt in the air and felt the faint chill of the sea breeze. It was soothing, relaxing to the point that Harry started to doze off.
"Never let down your guard."
The wizard jolted awake and gazed up seeing Hibari staring down at him with disapproval. Harry smiled sheepishly and shrugged. He couldn't help it, it was so nice out and waves were a natural lullaby. Of course his boyfriend had a point, he should know better than to let down his guard in such an open place and leave himself vulnerable. Sighing, he apologized, "Sorry."
"Hn, let's go," Hibari ordered. Deciding not to argue, Harry stood and dusted himself off as best as he could although he was pretty sure he was still going to track some sand inside. Finished, he reached out and took Hibari's hand pressing himself close to the Cloud Guardian's side. Hibari made no comment over it and guided his boyfriend toward the house.
"Spent most of your time inside?" Harry questioned.
"I was wandering the beach away from the annoying herbivores," was the reply.
"Of course," the wizard chuckled, "I missed you."
"You seemed fine without me."
"But still I missed you," Harry murmured, "I had fun with Tsuna and the others, but I like spending time with you too. We haven't had much time together lately because of work and school so I was really happy when Reborn brought us here."
"It can't be helped," Hibari explained.
Harry nodded, "I know and I've learned to deal. But I'm just saying that you don't have to feel like you're competing with the others. You've been with me for three years and I like what we have so don't worry."
Hibari glanced down at Harry before looking away. The younger man grinned before moving in front of Hibari and wrapping his arms around his neck. Pulling him down, he firmly kissed his lover who froze for a moment before returning the gesture with equal enthusiasm. Hibari slid his arms around Harry's waist and pulled him close to his body, molding them together and nearly lifting the wizard from the ground. Harry squeaked and laughed as he kissed Hibari, humming happily when the Cloud Guardian bit and sucked on his bottom lip.
"You tease me too much," Hibari growled.
Harry smirked playfully, "You love it."
Hibari's eyes narrowed and without warning his scooped up Harry who squealed in shock latching to the former Prefect. Hibari just leered as he carried his prize inside imaging all the delicious torture he was going to inflict on his captive. Harry smiled and teasingly nipped at his boyfriend's neck as he clung to him, knowing what was going through the other's mind. And Harry was fine with it, it didn't matter what he did with Hibari. Being by the skylark's side was paradise for him.
