"Hey, Kyouya? Why do you love me?" Yamamoto asks the other as he plays with Hibird. He's trying to teach the bird a new song. Hibari walks over and whacks him on the head.

"Don't teach my bird such tasteless music. What's with the question?" Hibari walks back to where he was petting Jirou, giving the other man no mind as Yamamoto gets up to follow him.

"Well, I'm curious. You know why I love you." Yamamoto takes a seat on the other side of Jirou as he, too, pets the dog.

"No, I don't. Enlighten me." Hibari could care less as to why the other loves him.

"Hmm. I love you because you're cute." Yamamoto grins at his lover.

"Don't make me bite you to death, Takeshi." Hibari warns as he catches the mischievous look in the other's eyes.

"Ah. Alright. But, you know Kyouya, biting me to death is just part of your appeal. I love you because you're unreasonable, stubborn, hard to please..." Yamamoto flicks his fingers as he names each point. Hibari merely shrugs. There's no sense in telling the man he's wrong when he's right.

"I love you because you always reprimand me for telling you you're cute, you always ignore me when I say hi, you let me hold your hand just so I won't bother you, you play with Jirou when I'm away, you kiss me when you think I'm sleeping, you-ow!" Hibari whacks him for the last one.

"Herbivore, I-"

"The way you call me herbivore, the way you wrinkle your nose when you dislike something, the way you eat a hamburger, the way you moan in- ow! Kyouya! I'm getting to the good part here!"

"Enough, Takeshi. I don't want to hear your perverted comments."

"But, you love old perverted me." Yamamoto grins as Hibari stands.

"No, I don't." Hibari moves towards his favorite spot under the sakura tree.

"Aw, then why do you love me?" Yamamoto follows with Jirou close by.

"I don't need to answer that question." Hibari stretches out to watch the sakura. He's used to ignoring the other by now.

"Hmm. I guess that's true." Yamamoto sits next to Hibari with Jirou next to him. Hibird rests in Hibari's hair. Yamamoto laces his fingers with Hibari's and sits back to view the sakura with his lover.

"Just like our date." And it is just like their date. They're in the same park with the same sakura trees in full bloom. It's as if they've gone back in time. Nothing's changed at all. Only them.

The couple sits there for awhile before Yamamoto yawns and lies down with his head on Hibari's lap. Hibari, automatically, threads his fingers through his lover's hair.

"This is nice." Yamamoto sighs. It's rare for them to have such a peaceful day together. Missions and foundation work keeps them both pretty busy. Yamamoto yawns again.

"Go to sleep, Takeshi." Hibari orders. Yamamoto yawns again. Jirou yawns with him.

"Hm. Okay." Fingers play with his hair as they lull him into slumber. It feels really nice. Above him, Hibari shifts around. Yamamoto feels soft lips brush against his temple, and he smiles.

"I love you, Kyouya." he whispers happily in a daze.

"Herbivore." His smile widens at that. He nods his head slightly as sleep slowly consumes him. Lips meet his skin again as he nods off.

"I love you because you're mine."
