Chapter 07: Nervous Policeman

"Ne Hibari-san... Why don't we go on a date?"

Caramel eyes peered up from under those long lashes that curled naturally in an alluring way at blue-gray eyes that usually seem so cold like ice, but at times, like now, were so warm like a burning fire on a cold day. Tsuna currently had his head resting comfortably against Hibari's arm, seeing as he was too short to reach his shoulder quite yet, as he asked the quiet skylark about a date. He watched in what was now every day amusement as Hibari stopped reading some piece of paper to look at the him with that endearing uncomfortable frown while his pale cheeks flushed pink.

"A-a date?" Hibari stammered, earning a nod from the smiling brunette, who seemed to be enjoying his discomfort a little too much. Of course, the skylark didn't like it, and would normally bite anybody who dared to laugh at him to death, but Tsuna was an exception.

"Yes a date. I think it would be fun to go out for a movie or for some ice cream in the park," Tsuna chirped, flashing Hibari that sweet smile that never fails to make Hibari feel butterflies in his stomach. Yup, Tsuna was a huge exception.

"But... I don't like crowds..." Hibari said with a distasteful frown at the thought of being in a room full of warm bodies or being touched and/or shoved around while waking around in a crowd. There was also the fact that crowds were so noisy and annoying. Especially in a movie. He hated the pinch full of people that talk obnoxiously on the phone while everyone else was trying to watch the movie. The very few times that Hibari went to the movies, it usually ended with him biting that very obnoxious person, teaching them a life lesson to shut the hell up during a movie. Hibari didn't understand why others liked going from place to place in packs! Surely being a lone wolf was much better because you don't have to worry about having arguments and you don't have to answer to anybody but yourself. But if he were a lone wolf through and through, that would mean he would dislike Tsuna's company, which he absolutely didn't! He loved spending time with the small brunette. Speaking of Tsuna, the skylark felt his heart skip a beat as Tsuna's smile dropped and was replaced with a pout. The boy turned his face into Hibari's arm so that half of his face was hidden in it while the other half was visible, as well as one large caramel eye that was looking up at him pleadingly.

"Please Hibari-san?" Tsuna said in that soft and pleading voice Hibari always found himself giving into, along with the puppy dog face. The skylark bit his bottom lip as he blushed at the cute sight of a pleading Tsuna, his heart rate growing faster the more he stared. Try as he can, the prefect couldn't resist his future boss...

"O...O-okay," Hibari reluctantly gave in, sighing softly in defeat. Tsuna's pout became a bright smile once the other admitted defeat, knowing fully well that Hibari sand has yet to conquer his pout and puppy dog eyes. Actually, when he thought about it, not many people have conquered his puppy dog eyes. The only few are Reborn, Bianchi, and Lambo, because face it, those three listened to no one and had no hearts! Lambo mostly because he's a selfish brat, but once he grows up, Tsuna made it plan to use the puppy dog eyes on him whenever he wanted something. He's used it a couple of times on adult Lambo when chibi Lambo sets off the ten year bazooka on himself, and so far, adult Lambo can't conquer it!

"Thank-you Hibari-san!" the brunette said delightedly before he craned his neck lightly and placed a lingering kiss on the corner of Hibari's lips, rewarding him, but at the same time, he was teasing the skylark. Tsuna pulled back just in time to see how red Hibari blushed, who quickly turned away in response. The younger boy giggled softly just as the bell rung. Tsuna pouted softly once again, sad that lunch and his time with Hibari has come to an end and he has to go back to class now... "Well I have to go now. And about the date, why not tomorrow around 2:30? Since it's our day off and all!"

Tsuna didn't get a vocal reply, but the meek nod he got from the skylark was enough for him. Tsuna smiled softly, knowing that he had embarrassed the other with his kiss. Perhaps he had teased Hibari a little too much today, but he really couldn't help it! Hibari was just too cute! This thought made the brunette laugh again before he grabbed his school bag. Mmm, one more teased wouldn't hurt. The young Vongola then leaned forward and whispered in the dark haired teen's ear, "Besides, I want a whole day to have you all to myself..."

And with that, Tsuna stood up, said a quick good-bye, then left Hibari's office, smiling to himself as he imagined how the skylark was reacting to what he said. Back in the office, the man in question was blushing furiously as he stared blankly ahead of him. With that blank red face, Hibari grabbed one of the pillows he recently brought in for his couches, before he buried his face into it.

A date. He was going to go out on a date with Tsuna! Though he hated crowds, Tsuna's words of wanting him all to himself for a whole day kept echoing in his head, assuring him that he could put up with crowds if that was the case. Tsuna's words, though teasing, made him so incredibly happy, but at the same time, incredibly embarrassed. He had half the mind to run after Tsuna and tell him he couldn't, that he wasn't ready, but he could still clearly remember how happy the brunette looked, and calling quits would make him just as sad... And the last thing he wanted to do was make his precious person sad. Ever since that day he had made Tsuna cry on the roof, it was a constant fear of Hibari to make the brunette sad and cry again. No, Tsuna deserved this date! After all, not much has happened ever since they became a couple that one fateful day.

He and Tsuna have been going for three whole weeks already, but of course, in secret. Tsuna had wanted to tell Gokudera and Yamamoto about his new relationship with the prefect after the first couple of days because he felt there was no need to keep it a secret, but Hibari had asked him not to until he felt it was the right time. In other words, he wasn't ready for the world to know that he, a carnivore, was in love with an herbivore, and was extremely shy around said herbivore. Tsuna, being the kind and understanding brunette that he is, complied to the skylark's request. And because their relationship was a secret at the moment, they occasionally had time to see each other before school or during lunch, and little to none outside of school. That's probably why Tsuna suggested they go out on a date in the first place..

Hibari sighed heavily as he pulled his face away from the pillow and threw his head back so that it rested against the couch, his blue gray eyes staring blankly up at the ceiling. He didn't blame Tsuna for wanting to go out, since it was he who was holding back their relationship from progressing. After that third kiss they shared three weeks ago, Hibari has avoided any kisses on the lips because he passed out from blushing so much the moment Tsuna left his office that day. And frankly, Hibari was afraid of passing out again, and this time in front of the brunette instead of Kusakabe like the last time. Kusakabe hasn't dared showed his face to him for the first week because the skylark would get the strong urge to bite that man to death, a reminder that he had been seen in such an embarrassing state by his vice. Some time along the way Tsuna seemed to catch on and didn't try giving his shy boyfriend kisses on the lips anymore, knowing that it must make him very bashful. But the brunette still gave the skylark kisses on the cheek, which seemed to be alright with the prefect and made him quite happy. Not only did Hibari avoid those sweet kisses, he was too damn shy to hug Tsuna without becoming a stuttering mess, can't say the words 'I like you' a second time without feeling the urge of running away, and they haven't even held hands yet!

The skylark stared up at his ceiling with a blank look for a moment or two before he scowled heavily and reached up to tug at his dark silky hair. He must be the worst and lamest boyfriend in middle school history! He best that even the losers of this school were better at relationships than him once they got a girlfriend. Tsuna, who was supposedly the biggest loser, hence the name Dame-Tsuna, was better at handling their relationship!

"What the hell kind of carnivore can't even hold hands!?" Hibari growled frustratedly as he ruffled his hair into a messy hairball so that it stuck out in odd ways, but the moment he stopped, it all fell back into place so that it was neat again. The skylark sighed heavily to himself and let his head fall back against the sofa once again. "I guess I have no choice... I have to make tomorrow's date the best date Tsuna will ever have!"

Or so Hibari hoped.

-x- -x-

It was 2:00 PM. Sunday. The forcast was sunny with a few clouds. A beautiful and perfect day to be outside, and Hibari Kyouya was having a small mental breakdown on the wonderful day. Why you ask? Because in the next thirty minutes, he's supposed to go pick up his adorable boyfriend from his house and go on their planned date, the date Hibari told himself over and over yesterday and this morning that would be the best Tsuna will ever have! Sadly, things doesn't always go as planned, especially when the skylark turns out to be such a shy and easily embarrassed person when he's in love. Hibari has been pacing back and forth in his in nothing but a towel hanging around his hips, showing off his well toned and sculptured pale body, the proof of all that biting to death he does, for about an hour since he got out of the shower. Or dear and poor cloud guardian was so nervous for this date that he couldn't sit still or think straight, at least not long enough to pick out some clothes to put on and spare the world several nosebleeds from the millions of fans that are currently reading this story, their imagination going wild like the fangirls/fanboys that they are.

'What am I going to do? What should I wear?' Hibari thought to himself for the umpteenth time before he made his way to his closet the twentieth time, peering inside for just a moment before he slammed the door to his closet shut, hurting that poor door and closet with his brute strength. 'I have nothing to wear!'

Hibari does realize that he has probably proven several times that he was acting very much like a school girl going on their very first date, but frankly, he didn't give a damn, because this really was his very first date! Minus the school girl part of course... Since he never showed interest in love and those kind of emotions before, he's never bothered about looking good or getting some dress clothes! All he had was most white buttoned up shirts and black uniforms for school! And well, the few casual clothes he wore here around his house. But what if Tsuna thought he looked sloppy and too plain!? He didn't want to look bad in front of Tsuna! Maybe he should run to the store and by himself some new clothes! Ah, but he only had less than thirty minutes to get ready! If he hadn't wasted an hour of just pacing around and freaking out for nothing, he could've gone to the store, bought himself some nice clothes, and gotten back in time to get ready! Hibari really hated himself at the moment, which happened rarely since he had so much pride in himself...

"Mew..."

Hibari stopped tugging at his hair, which he had no idea when that happened, and looked down to see Tuna sitting at his feet. The skylark sighed and crouched down, picking up the kitten and held it against his bare chest while scratching him behind the ear. Tuna purred and rubbed his head against the dark haired teen's hand before he jumped out of his hands. The small black kitten then padded over to the closet and started scratching the door, mewing and looking over at Hibari. A bit confused, the skylark opened the door to the closet, wondering what the kitten could possibly want from there. Soon enough, Tuna hopped inside the closet and walked from one end of the closet to the other, then back again before he stopped and started pawing at a sleeve, mewing and looking at at the prefect. Hibari's learned that when the kitten wanted something, it would start pawing at whatever he wanted, mew, then look at him for him to get it. He was a strangely inteligent kitten, so how he had gotten in the river was beyond Hibari.

The skylark reached out and grabbed a gray long sleeved v-neck that he usually wore here at home. He stared at the kitten, wondering if he was doing what he thought he was doing, as Tuna started pawing at something, mewed and looked at him. This time it was a long sleeved dark purple, nearly black, collared shirt. Hibari resisted the urge to face palm himself. His kitten, was actually choosing his clothes to wear for his date. On a normal day he would probably have a problem with this, but really, he had no time to argue with a feline that seemed to have a better idea of what he should than he himself. So with a heavy sigh, Hibari pulled the gray v-neck over his head and then slipped into the black collared shirt. By this time, Tuna somehow climbed his way to the top shelf and pawed at some black jeans he had, which he grabbed and pulled on, of course, after he put on some underwear. When he looked in his mirror, Hibari had a hard time resigning to how he looked. He felt like he was still sloppy, that this wasn't good enough, but when he glanced at the clock, he was startled when the time read 2:17 PM. Did it really take him that long to have Tuna pick out his clothes and actually get dressed? Feelings pressed for time, and a bit panicked, Hibari quickly went to the bathroom, brushed his hair, brushed his teeth, and put a bit of cologne. He usually hated putting on cologne, but he would hate smelling bad in front of Tsuna even more!

"I hope you knew what you were doing, Tuna," Hibari said hurriedly as he petted the kitten good-bye, earning a mew, before he quickly left his house, locking it tight, not like anyone would dare try to break into Hibari Kyoya's house. At least not if they wanted a death wish. Hibari felt his nerves calm down on his walk to Tsuna's house, knowing the way since he's been there a couple of times due to that baby. It wasn't too far from where he lived, but not many people knew where he lived because he usually returned at sunset or later, and honestly, who wanted to follow the violent skylark home? Perhaps, when their relationship progresses, he'll invite Tsuna over to his house for dinner or lunch if it's on the weekend. As Hibari quietly though to himself of a few innocent ways of spending more time with his beloved Tsuna, he didn't notice the man stares he received from people that were walking by, specifically the female population. He didn't notice a group of high school girls stopping to stare at him, before they turned to whisper and giggle amongst each other, their faces pink. Hibari had no idea that he could also attract a good kind of attention instead of the regular fear most people had for him.

As Hibari drew closer to Tsuna's house, his nerves started to come back. He told himself over and over that everything will be alright and he had to force himself to turn around when he tried running away three times. And he stopped dead in his tracks at least four times to pep talk himself! A neighbor across the street of Tsuna's house witnessed the whole thing as she was watering her plants. She was now currently watching this young man reach out then pull away his hand several times back and forth, as if he wasn't sure if he should open the gate or not. And when he finally did open the gate, she watched through a frown as this young man seemed to be literally dragging himself to the door. The woman sighed heavily and turned to watering her plants, choosing to ignore that she saw what just happened and pretend like it never happened, just like those explosions, screams, and gun shots from the Sawada household. Strange people always went there... She was so surprised that no one has called the cops on them! And she most definitely won't be the one to call them, because she just knew that they wouldn't believe her if she told them half the crazy things she's seen.

Unaware of the his spectator, Hibari nervously fidgeted as he stood in front of the door of Tsuna's house. He was debating whether he should knock or not. I mean, of course he should knock, or it would be rude if he just walked right in, but he was debating if whether or not this whole date thing was a good idea. He knew that it had made Tsuna very happy and all, but he was so nervous! What if he ruined the mood because of his nerves?! Or did something stupid and embarrassed Tsuna in front of people?! Or worse! Embarrass himself in public! Public humiliation was the last thing on his 'to do' list, with death right above it! Maybe he should turn around right now and just call Tsuna and tell him that he had gotten sick! Yeah, that seemed like a good plan! Oh, but what if Tsuna saw right through his lie!? That would make him really sad right? Sad enough to probably not like him anymore! The idea of Tsuna disliking him made Hibari's blood run cold.

'Just this one date...' Hibari said, taking in a shaky breath as he raised a slightly trembling hand, ignoring the thunder that was his heart. However, before Hibari could knock on the door, the door suddenly opened and he was staring into a pair of large caramel brown eyes. The next thing he knew, something collided with him and he was falling backwards with whatever that collided into him on top of him. With a loud thud, Hibari felt pain shoot up his back and his head started to throb. Instantly his anger flared, his notorious icy glare adorned his pale features. Who the hell just bumped into him and made him fall and bang his head up!? The angry skylark pushed himself up onto one elbow as he rubbed the back of his head with his free hand, his icy blue-gray gaze falling on who was currently straddling him.

"H-Hibari-san!" the sound of Tsuna's voice, along with sight of the brunette's angelic face, instantly melted away his icy glare and calmed his temper down. Hibari blinked away his glare as he stared up into Tsuna's pleasantly surprised eyes, before he allowed himself to realize the position they were in. The skylark felt his body freeze up when he noticed that Tsuna...his adorable boyfriend...was straddling him, very much like that time on the roof, and was sitting on his thighs. If he hadn't been so shocked of his current situation, Hibari would be blushing a bright red and probably stuttering a bit like he normally did when Tsuna made too much contact with him. "You're here! Ah! You're here! And I totally knocked you down! I-I'm sorry!"

Hibari watched as the brunette scrambled off of him before he offered him a hand, which he shakily took. Tsuna easily pulled Hibari back to his feet, oblivious that he actually was pretty strong due to Reborn's Spartan training, but at least the people around him seem to notice.

"I'm glad you came! I got so nervous because I forgot to tell you where we should meet up, and well, I was just about to go looking for you! ...Except... I don't really know where you live, heheh," Tsuna said, sheepishly smiling and rubbing the back of his head. Caramel eyes then started to look over the quiet prefect, his cheeks darkening a couple of shades of pink as he noticed how...handsome Hibari looked. He wondered if it was because this was the first time he's seen the skylark in regular clothes instead of the uniform he usually wore. Though his clothes were casual, for some reason...they looked really good on Hibari... Or rather, Hibari made the clothes look really good. The gray v-neck showed off more of the prefect's pale skin, specifically his strong collar bone, and the unbuttoned dark purple collared shirt really gave him a nice touch, especially when the collar was popped out instead of tucked in. And of course, the jeans hugged Hibari's legs perfectly. Not too tight, but not to loose. Absolutely perfect. While Tsuna was staring at Hibari, the skylark too was having a good look over Tsuna and was a bit flustered with what the brunette had to offer. Like him, Tsuna was wearing casual clothes, which made him so glad that he didn't over dress or anything. However, Tsuna was wearing yellow tank top with a light blue hoodie that seemed a bit too big for the brunette since it kind of slid off his shoulder and he could only see Tsuna's fingers tips, not that Hibari was complaining since he got to see more of Tsuna's peachy baby soft skin and well, it was cute. But what really sent Hibari's head spinning were the red short shorts Tsuna was wearing that ended at mid thigh, again, showing off a lot more skin than necessary, but Hibari wasn't complaining. If he could describe Tsuna in one word, it would be cute, or adorable, or alluring, or perhaps it would be irresistable.

Both boys looked away from each other at the same moment with red faces, both embarrassed and flustered about the other's appearance, one a little more than the other. Suddenly, Tsuna's body lunged forward and the brunette let out a surprised yelp. Hibari, being in front of his future boss, easily caught Tsuna as one of his strong arms wrapped around his slim waist and held him to his chest so the boy could regain balance. However, the moment Hibari realized what he just did, he quickly let go of Tsuna and took a few steps back, his face pink and was frowning uncomfortably. Normally, someone normal probably would've been hurt, but Tsuna was used to Hibari's shyness and didn't let it bother him as he turned around to glare at a hitman baby.

"Reborn! Why did you push me!?" Tsuna demanded, crossing his arms and lightly puffing out his cheeks in annoyance, something Hibari thought was incredibly cute and had to look away because he was starting to feel a bit dizzy. The Arcoballeno smirked before shrugging.

"I don't know. The silence between you two just irritated me so I thought I'd give you a little push," Reborn said, getting a roll of the eyes from Tsuna at his little joke, which earned the brunette a whack to the head. "Don't roll your eyes at me, Dame-Tsuna. Next time I'll tell Hibari an embarrassing secret of yours."

"Hiiiie! Okay, I promise to never roll my eyes at you ever again!" Tsuna said, putting his hands together in a pleading way as he bowed lightly in forgiveness, unintentionally giving Hibari a nice view from behind. The poor skylark swayed where he stood as his face turned bright red. For some reason, he couldn't bring himself to tear his eyes away from Tsuna's ass, even though every fiber of his body was telling him to look away! Luckily, when Tsuna stood up straight, Hibari was able to tear is gaze away, looking anywhere but at Tsuna, and it just so happened to land on a smirking baby. Hibari then got the strangest feeling that Reborn was saying the things on purpose... He was so grateful that they were going out, because again, he got the strangest feeling that if they stayed, there would be more times that Reborn would make Tsuna do things innocently to make him blush and nearly pass out. That day, Hibari Kyouya discovered a new strength of the Arcoballeno Reborn, and for once, he wasn't so eager to challenge it...

"Heh. Good. Now go run along with Hibari," Reborn said, his smirk not leaving him. If anything, it became more devious when the baby turned to look at the pink faced prefect. "I expect to have him back by ten, Hibari. So please don't plan on doing anything that requires Tsuna to lay on his back."

Oh yes. Hibari dares not challenge this side of Reborn...

With that said, the Arcoballeno closed the door to the house, leaving a puzzled Tsuna and a hot chilli pepper red Hibari outside.
