Ep 29: Her Lover is Broccoli
"Onee-San." Satsuki gulped as the disciplinary member saluted her.
Her fingers tightened on the blue bento box in her hands. "Is-is Hibari-san here?"
"Hibari-san is on the roof."
"Thank you." She bowed at the teen and turned around, making her way towards the stairs that led to the roof. He would be up there and hopefully the bento box she had made would be what he wanted. Her mother was a bit suspicious as to why she was preparing another bento box, even questioning her if it was for a boy.
"It's for Hibari-san mom." She had answered, "He protected the school when everyone was being attacked."
"Ah, that handsome disciplinary committee leader?" Her mother smiled, "If that's the case here put some of these in there too." Satsuki stood in shock as her mother bustled around the kitchen stuffing the bento box with more meat and vegetables.
Did her mother just call Hibari handsome? Why? How?
"Have you met Hibari-san before mom?" She asked.
"Once in the market he stopped someone from stealing my bag." Her mother happily recounted.
Her mother knew nothing of Hibari's bad personality, she was hero worshipping him. "If you're making a bento for him Satsuki does that mean you have a crush on him?"
"W-What! Of course not!" She denied, that last thing she felt for the prefect was affection.
Her mother giggled giving her a sly look, "I think he would make a fine son in law."
"Mom!"
"He's so polite and respectful, he would be perfect for you Satsuki."
"MOM!"
She didn't want her mom to like Hibari, because that gave him the advantage. If she ever went to her parents and said that he was bullying her or pushing her around they would obviously be on his side, or at least her mother would be. Though whenever her mother had her mind set to something, her father wouldn't argue with her about it.
She pushed open the door to the roof and found Hibari lounging in the sun, a cute yellow bird resting in his hair.
A grey eye popped open and he took in her appearance.
"I-I brought the bento Hibari-san." She held out the blue box.
"Hm." He sat up, one arm hanging over his knee. "Sit."
Gathering up her courage Satsuki took a seat where he had indicated and opened the bento and held it out for the prefect.
"Feed me."
"Hibari-san!" She began to protest but the glare he sent her way made her stop. Gulping she nodded and used the chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and with trembling hands raised it to his lips.
He watched her with cool eyes as he took the food into his mouth. They repeated this for a few more bites before the silence became too much for her. She was used to having lunch with Tsuna and the others who never had a quiet moment.
"My mother added more meat and vegetables when she found out it was for you." She spoke up, "I tried to stop her but she insisted you get more than enough." He smirked at her before accepting another bite. "She was very thankful of you stopping a thief who had taken her purse."
Halfway through the bento he grasped her hand and took the chopsticks from her. He reached into the box and picked up some of the mini broccoli from the mixture and held it out for her. "Eat."
Gulping she shyly opened her mouth and took the vegetable into her mouth. She almost choked when she realized that she had used the same chopsticks as him. They had an indirect kiss. Flushing at the thought she refused to look him in the eyes anymore, keeping her eyes trained on the bento.
Hibari's smirk widened and he took the box from her. "No broccoli next time, got it herbivore." He said before turning his attention fully to the bento, dismissing her.
