Parallel Lines

The curtains rose.

She was backstage, not apart of the play, but her sets were. It was important to her. She had a clip board and headphones snuggled over her pineapple spikes. "The garden is up first." She whispered to the mic.

Boss subconsciously grinned. 'She sounds happy.' He knew how important art was to her. It was one of the only outlets she had to ever express herself.

He also knew she was forcing herself to be apart of the back stage crew. It was almost impossible for them to be in the same room, with out feeling anxiety, hurt, and longing.

Boss knew he also had to be strong. 'Because she is.'


Hamlet and Ophelia were walking along a winter garden. He plucked the only rose that blossomed. It was empty now.

Hamlet offered it to Ophelia along with his heart.

"For you." Tsuna whispered warmly at Hibari.

"Thank you." Hibari's eyes were soft.

It was a play, but they were sharing an internal truth.

'I'm sorry, Hibari.'


He breathed out tired. He collapsed on top of her, resting his head besides her, on the pillow. His lips left sweet memories on her neck. She was sighing with warmth and compassion. Her fingers played with his hair, and her other hand caressed his back, softly rubbing over the scratch marks etched around his shoulderblades, an attempt to apologize for marking a territory that wasn't meant to be hers.

"Tsu-na-yo-shi."

"Nagi."

Simple names that whispered a loving truth.


Romeo and Juilet were walking down the same garden, Ophelia and Hamlet had left.

Not a single rose left for Romeo to offer Juilet. So he offered his hand in marriage. But Juilet's father(Mochida) had an on going feud with Romeo's father(Ryohei). Scared of the possible tension rising between them, Juilet ran away from him and her heart.

Lovestruck and in dispar, Romeo sought advice from his close friend, and someone who was already able to hold his love in his arms, Hamlet.

If only Tsuna was as lucky.

Hamlet, was in a bind, his family was the middle ground between Romeo's and Juilet's. He decided to help out his friend and the two snuck to her home.

The setting of the play was the night sky. Her night sky.

With Hamlet's words, Romeo gave Juilet a beautiful ode.

Tsuna was asked to adlip it and he did. He was behind the stage bush with Yamamoto standing in the middle staring up at the balcony. He whispered it to Romeo, so the whole stage heard it, as Romeo spoke.

"I wonder what you think. Since the moment I met you, I never knew. But I implore you to hear my thoughts. Thoughts of spending many ever afters of happiness, happiness where we have a family and don't belong to theirs. Is it so wrong to try and fall in love, because I am already, so deeply with you."

Chrome was helping the backstage crew get the next scene ready. In the middle of his words, as she scurried around, their eyes met and broke.

Juilet agreed to the idea of marriage, and they secretly wed. Juilet had a best friend Hana, (Name was left unchanged, because she didn't respond to her character name.) who found a willing priest to officiate it for the two. Hana and Hamlet were the witnesses.

And they were married.


Raindrops.

They roamed on the carpet. He gulped. She climbed on his body. Her pale hands slid under his uniform, pulling it up. Her fingers left his skin with a chilled sensation. Her lips warmed him, leaving smooches on his body. She nibbled up his ribcage, then took a bite of his chest.

He groaned.

He covered his eyes with his forearm. He bit his lower lip in flustered frustration.

She lifted her eyes away from his chest. She rose an eyebrow, but her expression never changed. His cheeks reveled what his eyes didn't want to admit.

"Tsunayoshi." She panted. She crawled up like a stealthy cat. She gently plucked his arm away, and pinned it above him on the carpet. She interlocked her fingers around his, and kissed him.

He hesitated, but his lips gave in to desire. Chrome sucked on the lower lip he was biting earlier, curing his anxiety. He snuck his tounge in between her lips grazing her upper lip. He lightly slid his tounge over hers. He pulled away, but hers followed, tasting him.

She deepened their embrace, leaning her head to the side and curling her free arm around his head.

His fingers dared to touch the skin of her waist before traveling under her shirt. He clawed his nails tenderly down her back. She shivered a sigh of pleasure. His hand stopped at her perked up rear.

She moaned. Her breathing was delightfully rigid, as she grinded against his body.

"Nagi." He broke the grip of their hands. He pushed him and her up. She was straddling him. Her arms were around his neck, and her fingers clutched his locks of hair, or massaged his shoulders. He kept his abuse on her lips, he bit the bottom one before sucking it and letting go with a trail of saliva following.

Tsuna opend his eyes for a moment.

Her heated face radiated the weakest shine of the grey abyss of the sky.

A glimmer of happiness with her.

She began to unbutton her blouse. He fumbled, but did his as well, paused, pressed his lips against hers, and continued to take off his shirt.

They threw them both off in a corner, by the TV. They embraced. They immersed themselves in the feeling of the others skin. She broke their lip contact. She was breathing heavily, staring down at his body. She ran her hand up and down his chest. She held in a sigh, feeling his hands roam around her hips and lower back. She placed one hand on his shoulder, before pushing off and standing.

Tsuna was staring at her, wondering why she suddenly stopped, until her skirt fell. His eyes almost flew out. 'Black bra and panties!' The dark color illuminated her pale body with lust. She walked with quiet steps to his bed. She got on, crawling on all fours. She made a full circle, before straightening up, on her knees.

"Come on, Boss." Her voice was a warm affectionate lullaby.

He shook his shocked face away. He almost fell, stumbling from trying to unbutton his pants and run to her at the same time.

He hopped on the bed, flinging off his pants with a kick of his leg. He was on his knees like her.

She smiled, and reached back. He gulped understanding her.

It was a struggle.

"Um, need help?"

She shook her head. "I got it." She released the clasp, and took off her bra. She placed her arm up to her bosom, slightly embarrassed.

Tsuna sucked in a breath of anticipation. He scooted closer. Chrome's violet orb only stared at him with trust and emotion. She closed her eye, feeling his hand on her cheek.

Boss closed his eyes. He tasted her lips and felt the skin of her back, holding her. She had one hand on his ribcage and the other on his shoulder, resisting sexly, but diving deeper.

She moaned as her back slowly landed on the bed. One of her legs rose up, hugging around him, her other was in between his legs. She gasped and buried her head back into the pillow. He was sucking on her neck. He let go and licked it, with a whispered apology.

She giggled. She hugged her arms around his head and buried his head on her breast.

Boss readjusted their legs, getting in between both, she was sliding off her panties, with her thumb, as they kissed eachother's body.

They shared eye contact. Tsunayoshi and Nagi shared the same loving sentiment, and they shared a bed.
