And sorry for OOC-ness.
Frustrated
The treatment room in the Vongola Headquarters had a stagnant air around it. The air was silenced, and an uncomfortable tension filled in.
A woman lied motionlessly in the bed in the middle of the room. Tubes were connected to her feeble body. Bandages covered most of her wounds. Her eyes were closed, and yet showed no sign of open up.
A black-haired man stood beside her bed. Grey eyes looked down at the pale face of the woman. Hands were clenched into a tight fist beside him. His face was void of emotion, yet his grey eyes were solemn and forlorn.
"I see, biting people again today, eh, Kyouya-kun?"
Hibari cast a sidelong glance at the blond-haired girl, sitting a couple of feet from him. "What do you want, Sawada Aoi?" He questioned, cool and collected like he always did.
The girl shrugged meekly. "I just wanted to go home when I heard some yelling from here. I was curious, so I came," she answered casually, by no means intimated at the horror sight ahead of her.
"Hn," was all the response from the prefect.
"Ne, Kyouya-kun," the girl said again, leaning her cheek in her open palm. "Why are you fighting?" Hibari raised an eyebrow at the strange question.
"Hurting yourself isn't a good thing, you know?"
The man closed his eyes, and silently heard to the faint sound of breathing, the only sign that the woman was still alive.
"You are a foolish, Sawada Aoi."
"What's this?" Hibari questioned, observing the small box in his hand.
"Chocolate. Tsu-chan's mom gave me that," Aoi answered simply. Hibari hunched an eyebrow, with yet incredulous expression still observing every part of the small box. "I didn't poison it, okay?"
Hibari turned his head and cast a glance at her. "What is this for?"
"I heard eating chocolate makes people happy," she explained, "You seem to be not in a good mood, so I thought chocolate could lighten you up."
"I do not need your concern, Sawada Aoi," Hibari scoffed, "I don't need anyone concern."
Aoi sighed. "Gee… You're one difficult guy." Hibari glared at her, who was in turn smiling innocently.
"Say, Kyouya-kun," she said again, "What makes you feel frustrated actually?"
The man lifted a hand to the woman's face, caressing it gently.
"Why are so frustrated, Kyouya-kun?"
That day, he didn't answer the question. He didn't, because he couldn't.
But now was different.
"The one that makes me frustrated,"
"That is you, Sawada Aoi."
It is frustrating to see you smiling,
To hear you laughing,
To feel your presence beside me,
And to know you did it all for me,
Yet I can't do anything for you.
Author's note:
I'm sorry if Hibari is a bit (or a lot) OOC in this story. -smile innocently-
This is Aoi Sawada. And, NO, she's not a female version of Tsuna. She's my OC, and Tsuna's cousin. She's the same age as Tsuna.
Thanks for reading this, and I hope you guys like it. :) -bow-
