Harry

He told Tsuna he was a businessman on vacation, only passing through Nanimori because his car broke down. He then introduced himself as Harry but didn't give a last name. Tsuna didn't care so he didn't ask. It wasn't that he didn't want to know that part of Harry, it was more that in Tsuna's mind, names were meaningless in the grand scheme of things. If Harry didn't want to give a last name, it was his prerogative. Harry was Harry no matter what he called himself. He was Tsuna's as Tsuna was his. Really, what mattered was the now and then and them together.

"This is Natsu," Harry said, letting him pet the docile cub in his arms. Natsu let out another small "gao" and started to purr. For a moment, Tsuna could have sworn that Natsu's body glowed brightly before disappearing. Tsuna blinked, wondering if it had been a simple trick of the light. "Tsuna?"

Tsuna reached out a hand and let it touch the creature's soft fur, trusting Harry's implicit confirmation that Natsu wasn't going to bite his hand off. After all, Harry would never hurt him.

Serendipity. Fortunate happenstance. Tsuna would thank god for this gift for as long as he lived. Lady luck was finally smiling upon him.

"Natsu," Tsuna murmured softly, enjoying the warmth Natsu seemed to radiate with every breath. The cub took the opportunity to rub against his hand, its eyes closed in contentment. "A lion cub. Where did you find him?"

Harry laughed. It was a beautiful sound. But that wasn't too surprising considering its source.

"He appeared one day on my doorstep. For some reason, I knew he was special so I let him stay. And let me say, all my friends thought me completely barmy."

Tsuna smiled.

"I'm glad you kept him," he said, voice soft and serene. He felt drugged, but his head was clear and his body light. It was almost as if he was having some kind of out of body experience. The distracting buzz of thoughts that had been his constant companion for the past 10 years was finally gone. His lungs felt free. He could finally breath again.

"And why is that?" Harry asked softly, stepping that much closer. They were in front of the school, in plain view of anyone who might venture out at that time. As unlikely as it was considering the late hour, the risk was still there. Tsuna however couldn't bring himself to care. How could he when Harry was here?

"Because," Tsuna replied with certainty, letting Harry's scent envelope him like a warm embrace. He won't touch, not yet. This was still new. They could afford to take things slow. Besides, Tsuna was only 16 and Harry looked no older then 25. They had time, the rest of their life to be together. "It led me to you."
