"You wanted to see me, Vongola?" Lambo stands before the desk of Tsuna, hands in pockets and mellow attitude in place.
Tsuna looks up at him, flushes, and then looks away, somewhere over his head. "Y-Yeah…" He ruffles his hair and then squares his shoulders; he takes a meaningful stance in his chair, giving Lambo his serious face. "Lambo, I want to know when you enter a relationship, no matter how fickle!" He begins with a strong voice. "Because-! …" He loses the macho attitude. "Because you can tell me anything, you know that, right?" He sounds like a father trying to fit into a new family.
Lambo blinks, confused. "Alright… Vongola, if I might ask…what brought this up?" He's tempted to check if any hickeys are visible on his neck, but he refrains.
It wasn't like he was hiding anything…
Tsuna coughs and looks away. "You were – uuuh – limping yesterday…" He lifts his hands in a warding way. "Not that that means that you are in a relationship with a guy, but, I just know what it looks like –" He flushes darkly. "I've know things." He finishes lamely.
Lambo gulps and looks away as well, flustered. "Well, Vongola…" He thinks about how to say what he is about to say.
"Reborn is fucking him."
"GAH! Hibari!" Behind Lambo stands the most dangerous guardian the Vongola family has to offer, tonfas in hand.
"You're crowding."
"What?" His voice is shrill with fear. "I'm not crowding! I'm the only one here! Well, except for Vongola, but he's over there! –" He not so wisely ducks the tonfa and then runs before the mistake could catch up with him and the man views it as a challenge.
Once he is out of sight, Hibari turns back to the flushed and trembling Tsuna. "It is exactly 5:02 in the afternoon."
"I-is it? I didn't notice…" Tsuna tries to busy himself with the papers on his desk.
"You are avoiding me." One… two… three… Tsuna is held between his lover and the wall, one tonfa choking the air out of him. "I will not stand for it."
"H-Hibari, stop!" He didn't stop; his free hand undid the buckle of Tsuna's pants and then shoved them down, revealing Tsuna. "You are being difficult. Don't you love me?"
"I can't do this!" He shoves him away, or at least tries to. "Seven years! We've been together for seven years and you have never once showed me anything!" He manages to at least slip out of the guardian's chokehold.
Hibari's eyes are narrowed down on him. "You are being unreasonable." He grabs his wrist and twists until Tsuna cries out. "It has been seven years, why start complaining now."
'Because I saw Yamamoto and Gokudera kiss like they were going to die if they didn't.' Seeing that… it had occurred to him… for seven years, he had been content to read into Hibari's cold attitude, ecstatic to be his cloud guardian's lover, and pleased to spend whatever time he could with the wandering man.
"I have things I have to do." He finally whispers, unable to look up at Hibari. "Can't we talk later?"
"Talk about what? How I am not the man you suddenly wish to have?" Tsuna winces. "I will give you till nightfall; by then, be in my room or don't be." He releases Tsuna and steps back; he turns around and walks out of the room, leaving a shaken Tsuna behind.
…'I'm going to be sick!' And so he was – three times over. Why, he had no clue; but he learned something. It hurts, crying and throwing up at the same time.
He retreats to the living room with a glass of water when he's done, curling up on the couch.
"You dumb cow! That isn't how you solve the damn problem!" Next comes the sound of a fist hitting skull and then the unmistakable wail of pain. "SHUT UP!"
"H-Hey, Gokudera! Lambo!" He rushes to the doorway, just in time to catch them before they turn another corner. They're in relationships – he can talk to them. He doesn't know what he wants to talk about or even if he wants to talk, but he doesn't want to be alone.
They both turn at his voice, Lambo clutching at his head and sniffling while Gokudera's expression lights up like a child at Christmas. "Tenth! – TENTH! What's wrong? Did someone hurt you!" Gokudera grabs him by his shoulders and looks into his eyes with panic.
It takes a moment before Tsuna remembers he hadn't rinsed his face after crying, so it would be tear stained and his eyes would be red. He rubs at his eyes, shaking his head. "N-no, no one hurt me… I was just wondering -… I was wondering what problem you two were talking about!"
Gokudera looks back at Lambo, Lambo looks back at Gokudera; each grab one arm and drag Tsuna back into the room, shutting and locking the door behind them, and dropped him back on the couch. Both of them look down at him with expectant expressions.
… It takes three minutes before he cracks. "Hibari has never kissed me!" That was apparently the last thing either of them had expected.
"Wh-what! But you've been with him for seven years! How could he have never kissed you? Tenth deserves better!" It's safe to say that Gokudera is fairly pissed at the neglect to his darling Tenth.
"Yare, yare, how does that happen?" Lambo tilts his head curiously, mellow attitude in place. For the first time in a while, Gokudera doesn't declare it a stupid question.
"Do you want me to kick his ass, Tenth? I'll do it!"
"No!" Tsuna grabs him by the sleeves of his coat and holds. "Don't attack him, Gokudera!" Gokudera falls into silence and sits next to Tsuna.
Lambo takes his other side. He wraps an arm around Tsuna's shoulders and cuddles against his shoulder. "What do you want to do?"
"I… I don't know. I wanted to be with you guys, but I don't know why." He curled his knees up to his chest and leaned against Gokudera while pulling Lambo closer, using the two as living teddy bears.
"You need the comfort, Tenth!" Gokudera nuzzles his chin into his hair.
"…Vongola…" Lambo ventures after a few minutes of silence. "Why did it take you seven years to realize that he had never kissed you?"
"Dumb cow, don't insult the Tenth's intelligence!" 'Thwak!' Lambo begins sniffling, whispering his 'gotta-be-calm' mantra to himself until he is actually able to suck it up for once. "Tenth didn't notice because -! … Because…"
"I did notice, though." Tsuna pets Lambo's back. "I just… didn't care until now. When I got into the relationship with Hibari, I always knew three things: 1. I would always be protected. 2. I would always be in a life or death war with him. 3. Our relationship wasn't going to be like anyone else's. When half a year went by and he still didn't kiss me, I just dismissed it as one of those quirks that he wouldn't partake in because he's Hibari and Hibari doesn't do many affectionate things."
Lambo cocks his head. "Than why are you upset about it now, Tenth?" Gokudera beats Lambo to the punch line.
The Vongola blushes like there would be no tomorrow. He scoots (subtly) away from Gokudera as he laughs nervously. "Well – umm… I saw you and Yamamoto together… and it looked…." The nervousness fades away and so does his forced smile.
'It looked like love put into an action; Gokudera with one arm wrapped around his shoulders, the other around his waist, his head tilted back and his body flush to Yamamoto's. It had looked like there should have been spotlights on them, but at the same time, it had been almost too intimate to look at, like they were already making love.' He rubs a hand over his eyes; he doesn't know how to put that into words without dying of embarrassment.
"… It made me think…" He settles for lamely. "- How would Hibari kiss me? I bet every couple has a different kiss, kind of like everyone has a different fingerprint."
Both Gokudera and Lambo flush and look away from Tsuna and each other; Gokudera puts the back of his hand to his mouth and Lambo nibbles his bottom lip. Tsuna looks from one to the other and sighs despairingly, knowing that he's right.
"Well, maybe that's what I'll do for you, Tenth!" Gokudera says suddenly, looking back at Tsuna with lit eyes and a cattish grin.
"Do what for me?"
"I'll show you how Takeshi kisses me and you'll see if that's how Hibari would kiss!" The storm guardian presents it all with gusto, as if it's the greatest plan in the world!
There is horror in both Tsuna's and Lambo's face, belying Gokudera's idea. "Gokudera… that's not such a smart idea. I mean, Hibari would kill me if he found out that I kissed someone who isn't him, much less two people! And I bet Yamamoto wouldn't appreciate it either!" The thought makes him flush red as he remembers something; he turns to look at his other guardian. "Was it true when Hibari said that you and Reborn are in a relationship?"
"WHAT! REBORN AND THE DUMB COW?" Gokudera falls off one edge of the couch, cowering away from the thunder guardian as if he were diseased.
Lambo face plants into his hands. "He didn't know, Vongola… No one knew." Tsuna is staring with a strained smile and disbelieving eyes down at the fallen silverette. "We weren't hiding it, but no one knew… except Hibari, I guess."
"Why would Reborn be in a relationship with you!" Gokudera, amazingly enough, doesn't sound disgusted – only shocked out of his mind, which is understandable seeing as how Lambo had spent most of his life being ignored and/or abused by the hitman.
Lambo shrugs. "I don't know." He puts a finger to his bottom lip, his eye becoming warm and distant as his cheeks dust with warm color. "But he is and he's threatened me if I dare leave him." He leans back against the couch.
After a moment, Gokudera actually calms back down and takes his place back on the couch. "Well, that only means that we can both kiss you how our lovers kissed us and you can see which would be more like that cold bastard!" He says with coolness as if there was no greater way to go about it in the world.
"That's even worse, Gokudera! And then Reborn will shoot me to death while Hibari is biting me to death! I'll die twice at the same time!"
"Yare, yare! Don't put my butt on the line for something that won't even work!"
"How do you know it won't work, you dumb cow! We haven't even tried it yet!" He grabs both of Tsuna's hands and holds them in his own. "Please trust me, Tenth! This will work, I know it will! You believe in me, right?"
The Vongola looks torn. "I don't know…" Gokudera continues to give him that puppy dog look. "… I guess… if they never find out…?"
"I won't let you down, Tenth!" Gokudera laughs and hugs him tightly.
Before Tsuna could say another word (much less breathe), Gokudera tilts his head up and rests his lips over his. It's soft and sweet; like cotton candy instead it isn't so sickly sugary. And, right when he thinks he can feel a hum through his lips at the pleasantness of it, the pressure deepens – steals what air he has and suddenly his mind is in a mist as a tongue ventures through his mouth and tangos with his own, teasing it to life and then to dance. He is about to melt when Gokudera pulls away, panting somewhat and with a proud smirk on his lips. He swipes a thumb over his wet lips.
"The baseball freak's an idiot in just about everything, but the one thing he's good at is kissing." To believe that he would even admit to that truth is unbelievable, but Tsuna has to agree; if that's how Yamamoto kisses, no wonder Gokudera loves him. "It's the dumb cow's turn." Gokudera leans back and crosses one leg over the other, the air of someone who knows that they're the best.
Lambo flinches. "I never agreed to do this."
Before Gokudera can get into a war with him, Tsuna puts a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, Lambo… I didn't either…" But now he's curious – Yamamoto's kiss began slow and sweet, and then had escalated into something naughty and possessive. How would Reborn kiss? Well, how had Reborn taught Lambo to kiss? Not that he wants to kiss Lambo (it's the honest truth; he was around to watch him pick his nose and pull who knows what from his hair), but he wants to know.
The teenager stares at him as if he could read his mind. He sighs and chuckles lightly. "Yare, yare… I'm going to catch hell for this later."
A finger and a thumb tips Tsuna's chin and – right when Tsuna thinks Lambo is going to kiss him – his bottom lip is nipped and sucked on for a small moment, exciting a gasp of surprise from him. In that moment, Lambo covers his mouth with his, licking his tongue. It isn't slow and sweet like Gokudera's (Yamamoto's), but it's soft in a sort of dark way, like an open secret; he feels the pressure of lips on lips, teeth against his bottom lip, a tongue battling his – it's a war where there is no way to win against the person who begins the kiss.
Gokudera yelps a moment before Lambo is ripped away from Tsuna. "My naughty cow is kissing no good Tsuna with the storm guardian as a witness; I bet there is an interesting excuse for this." Reborn has Lambo by the cuff of his collar, his back to Reborn's front as he lifts a hand and wipes a thumb over Lambo's lips before sinking the appendage into the teenager's mouth. Lambo makes a sound that is so erotic and so damn vulnerable, that everyone in the room shivers.
With the possible exception of Yamamoto, who holds Gokudera around the waist with one arm and has his other hand on the silverette's inner thigh. "Mah, mah, that was quite a show! I got to watch two beauties kiss a third pretty face!" He leans forward until his lips drift over Gokudera's ear. "It makes me excited!"
Tsuna flushes and tries to bunch into him; Oh shit! He's going to die! He was caught by both Yamamoto and Reborn kissing their lovers! "Reborn! Y-Yamamoto! Heh heh, I can explain this!"
"Please do." Reborn watches him with a glowing eye, the shadows sloping too darkly over the other from the fedora to be seen.
"Well, you see… Uuumm… Uuuuuhhhhh…"
"If Tenth doesn't want to tell, he doesn't have to! Isn't that right, Tenth?" Gokudera cheeks are glowing bright red and he is trying to shove away Yamamoto's ever wandering hand from where it's trying to cup him.
"You're right, he doesn't have to." Reborn's lips twist cruelly and he whispers something quietly into Lambo's ear. The teenager pales and then fires up and then whimpers, knees visibly knocking together as he goes limp against Reborn's chest.
"Hibari has never kissed Vongola!" He slouches as if he had gotten rid of a large weight.
"Traitor!" Gokudera goes to hit Lambo, but is held back by an arm across his chest and one tickling his lower belly.
Yamamoto frowns. "Really? Hhhhmmm…" He tilts his head up and looks to the ceiling thoughtfully. After a moment, he smiles and laughs. "I never noticed!"
He's hit square in the jaw by his lover. "How couldn't you notice that the Tenth wasn't loved by his psychotic, selfish, sadistic, trigger-happy, mocking asshole of a lover!" Behind Gokudera, Lambo goes bug eyed and carefully looks away, knowing that most of those traits also applied to his own lover.
"Yare, yare, you didn't notice either, Gokudera." Yamamoto almost isn't strong enough to stop the silverette after that, but he manages.
Tsuna looks from one couple to the other. Reborn cocks his head towards him. "Jealousy isn't the way to get back at your lover, no good Tsuna; it is a very bad way to die by your lover."
"We weren't doing it to make Hibari jealous!" Tsuna defends loudly, eyes earnest. He quiets down as both Yamamoto and Reborn stare at him, waiting for the reason. "We did it so I could guess what Hibari's kiss would be like… he doesn't partake in everyday affections, so I don't want to bother him for something he won't enjoy…"
There's a moment of contemplative silence…
"Hah hah hah!" Yamamoto strokes a hand over Gokudera's calf. "Tsuna, have you ever thought about kissing him instead of him kissing you? Part of being a lover is saying what you want, not holding back what they don't say outright they want." He smirks and it is the most dangerous look neither Tsuna nor Lambo had ever seen. "How else would Hay-kun and I had started dating?" He earns an elbow into his gut.
"Stop talking, baseball freak! … And stop touching there!" He snaps his thighs together, catching Yamamoto's hand between them and seemed to try and break the hand using sheer thigh muscle power. He either failed, or Yamamoto was a masochist, because the rain guardian only laughed.
"Yamamoto has a point, Vongola."
"Don't agree with the freak, you dumb cow!" Unable to attack him himself, he grabs the loose tie from around Yamamoto's neck (choking him momentarily, most likely making Gokudera a little happier), wads it up, and hits Lambo bull's eye in the forehead with it.
"Yare, yare, that was pathetic, even by your standards. You should have stuck to the bombs instead of the rings and boxes." Yet he still curls fearfully against Reborn's chest, going as far as to wrap his arms around Reborn's shoulders and raise his legs to his chest. He is humored by Reborn, who wraps an arm around his waist in assistance.
"What a dirty little secret to keep, no good Tsuna, kissing the lovers of your subordinate and tutor." He smirks. "However, since it has already happened, we might as well go all the way and make your lover envious." He grasps Lambo under the arms and pushes him back onto the couch next to Tsuna.
Lambo, Tsuna, and Gokudera stare with wide eyes at Reborn; Yamamoto smirks, understanding. The rain guardian grasps Gokudera's chin and tilts it back and to the side so that their gazes meet. "I think I know what the kid's getting at!" Even 12 years later when Reborn is obviously not a 'kid', Yamamoto still refers to him as such. "Why don't you show Tsuna how to kiss again, Hay-kun?"
"Wh-what?" Gokudera squeaks (in a manly voice, of course). He realizes what's going on when Reborn and Yamamoto pull out their cell phones and point the cameras at them. "No way!"
"What if Tsuna wants to?" Bingo, Yamamoto strikes the right nerve.
"Do you want to, Tenth?" Yamamoto waits with earnest eyes for an answer.
Tsuna can only stare faintly between the two couples; only Lambo seemed as shocked as him, but just barely. "Wait… you guys want Lambo and Gokudera to kiss me again… just so you can take pictures and send them to Hibari?" Neither say anything, but their smirks are answer enough. "No!"
Reborn leans a hand on the back of the couch and bends over Lambo; he leans down and nips behind Lambo's ear before whispering (again, quietly enough that no one else can hear) into it. The thunder guardian is quivering by the time Reborn leans away.
"Forgive me, Vongola; it's something I have to do." Hands are braced on Tsuna's shoulders and the thunder guardian slips into his lap as if it's only natural. Gokudera chokes and stares with wide, half horrified, half shocked, eyes; Yamamoto only kisses the corner of his lips, holding one hand on his chin and the other around his waist.
Tsuna colors darkly. "L-Lambo!"
"And you swear you're not going to show anyone that?" Lambo ignores Tsuna, turning his head slightly to look up at his smug lover. "I think this classifies as my touching another man or woman."
"No good Tsuna is the exception; he's obviously not a woman and just as obviously not a man." He ignores Tsuna's choked 'H-hey!' and tips Lambo's head back, swiping his tongue over the guardian's bottom lip before biting it sharply; the mark beads a small bit with blood. "Now." He holds his phone up.
"N-now what- Mmph!" Lambo's kiss tastes bloody, but there is the unmistakable sugary goodness of candy and tartness of green grapes. The first kiss had been too fast beat, too deep, to concentrate on that, but now it floods his senses as if the scents of a feast were wafting about him.
He can't believe that's kissing the boy he had once considered like a son, much less the fact that it doesn't actually feel that awkward. He feels the skill, the excitement, the feel of Lambo; but he doesn't feel the heat or the lust.
His eyes slide shut and he tilts his chin, allowing the dance of tongues, the clack of teeth, and the moistness of lips. He holds onto Lambo's shoulders as the teenager holds onto his.
It must have lasted not much longer than a moment before Lambo disappears from him and into Reborn's arms. "No good Tsuna; don't have dirty dreams about my naughty cow." He tips his fedora to Yamamoto and leaves, a shivering Lambo in arms as he saunters away.
Tsuna puts the back of his hand to his mouth and stares after them with a hot blush.
"Mah, mah; it's your turn, Hay-kun!" Yamamoto laughs softly. "Don't get any dirty thoughts, Tsuna." He pushes lightly Gokudera to Tsuna.
The silverette gulps and Tsuna stares at him like a doe caught in the headlights. "… Don't forget to take the pictures, you baseball freak!" Gokudera growls over one shoulder before leaning forward. He cups Tsuna's cheek and tilts his head before covering his lips with his own.
He can taste smoke and spices on his tongue as it tangles with Gokudera's
A spark goes off in his mind and he rushes to his feet. "Sorry, Gokudera; thanks for your help! Bye, Yamamoto!" He runs, leaving both confused men behind him.
It isn't nearly nightfall, but he still runs to Hibari's room, shoving the door open and then slamming it shut behind him; he pants somewhat with the exertion, but it becomes heavier when he sees his lover sitting on the edge of his bed, checking his phone messages.
He looks up at Tsuna with sharp eyes. "And this?" He turns the screen towards Tsuna, open to a picture of Lambo in Tsuna's lap, tongue tied with said Vongola. "Did you already make your decision?"
"Yeah, I did!" He can't believe it, but he smiles like the cat with the cream. "But not the one you think! You see – " He begins speeding through an explanation. " – Gokudera and Lambo were showing me what a kiss was like because you've never kissed me before and that really had me depressed but then Reborn and Yamamoto caught them and decided to make you jealous, but when Reborn and Lambo left and Gokudera was kissing me, I realized that it wasn't the kiss itself that's important in a kiss – " Now he finally breathes. His cheeks flush cutely. "It is how you form it, give it, and receive it – what it tastes like."
He plops down into his guardian's lap, wrapping his arms around his shoulders; he's glares at for his efforts, but not 'bitten to death'. "That's why you've never kissed me; because every time we touch, it's like its own kiss except it's in motion and not so wet."
Hibari stares at him, phone still in one hand and other hand resting on Tsuna's thigh. "You realize that you cheated on me with two other men and are now acting as if you never did. I should bite you to death."
Tsuna pales and looks down and away; why hadn't that crossed his mind earlier? Or had it, but he had just dismissed it because it hadn't felt like cheating? For kissing two of his guardians twice, he hadn't felt bad about it… until now that Hibari was looking at him with cold, cool gray eyes.
Fingers dig into the skin of his jaw, forcing him to look back up; that tiny, small smirk that was nearly indiscernible but somehow so obvious, is in place. "Or maybe I will just fuck you until you can't stand." He slides a hand up Tsuna's shirt, unbuttoning it with smooth, subtle movements of the fingers.
Tsuna flushes, but nods, entranced by the twist of lips. The turn even further up under his stare. "And, perhaps, I'll kiss you so you will stop fantasizing about it and going off to kiss herbivores." Tsuna gasps, daring to hope. "It excites you, the thought of being kissed by me." It's not a question because his erection is poking Hibari's lower belly; he becomes an even darker shade of red (unbelievably enough).
Lips slant over his with harsh, unnecessary force. It is wet and slightly uncomfortable, with noses bumping teeth clacking accidentally together. It takes a moment before it occurs to Tsuna that, in the seven years they had been together, Hibari had never kissed him; if Hibari had not kissed him, why would he kiss anyone else? This meant that – when it came to kisses – Tsuna was actually more educated with the few kisses he had just received.
He wants to laugh, but he doesn't; he urges Hibari to soften his lips using his own and then uses his tongue to tease Hibari's out of its dormant state. He feels the tension coiling in Hibari, who hated having control taken from him, so he returns to lax against him, submitting to his will with a smile.
He's dumped onto the bed, but the kiss never ends, tongues warring, lips locked, teeth clacking (purposefully now) and mouths pressing with bruising force. He doesn't know how their clothes are ripped off when they never stop kissing, but, somehow, the headboard is creaking against the wall and they're short on breath, bodies melding together over and over again.
Tsuna can taste Sakura blossoms and cool night air; it is officially his favorite taste in the world.
Author's Note: This chapter was inspired by Youtube's 'Goku/Lambo, Yamamoto/Goku, Reborn/Lambo [Wait until Dark], except it had absolutely nothing to do with Tsuna and only Yamamoto caught Gokudera and Lambo in the act (they weren't cheating; I can't exactly explain what was going through their heads.
