~18-My First Love-27~


~o0O0o~

To me you were always strong, even at your weakest you still struggle to rise up… I know that I am not always there by your side… but you know I've always been protecting you even though I'm not walking next to you… even if I'm not there to break your fall, I know you're strong; stronger than me and everybody else and you'll stand up proud and tall once again…

I stand because I know you're there supporting me…

"Neh, onii-chan… what's up? Too much work? You look stressed out…"

Sigh. "It's nothing…" He ruffled the shorter one's hair assuring him that he was okay. "Don't worry about it, alright?" Tsuna could only nod; it was just probably because of his work. "Tell Nana-san I said hello…" …Blinking in realization… they already reached his house, he replied with another nod before going in.

"See you tomorrow nii-chan!" He waved goodbye and closed the door.

Kyoya sighed as the memory flashed back in his head. A memory which made his mood ten times worse than it was already.

—Flashback—

Kyoya gritted his teeth… he was now talking to the last person he wanted to see ever again in his entire life.

"Kufufu… don't worry Hibari-kun… I won't do anything; I just want to remind you that tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and also… I will confess to Tsunayoshi-kun, if he says yes… you leave him alone for good and if he says no I'll leave him alone for good…" He paused and tapped his chin. "…But don't expect me to keep my word though." And with that he disappeared.

The only thing that worried Kyoya the most was, 'What if Tsunayoshi… would say yes?' He looked at the sleeping little angel once more before sighing… He was panicking, he may not want to admit that aloud but it really did bother him to the point of almost ripping of his own hair. But he stopped that thought when hearing the pineapple herbivore's voice. "But if I do keep my word, just make sure that I'll be your best man in your future wedding and Tsunayoshi-kun must absolutely wear a gown…Kufufu…" …Him being his best really bothered him more than he already was though. Tsunayoshi was his! He'll never lose to this pineapple herbivore, he will never allow it!

—End of Flashback—

Massaging his temples, he went home with in a sour mood, not sure about what he's supposed to feel. He slammed the door of his room hard after arriving, only to regret it…

"Kyoya! You can't just slam your door like that! It's rude!" The voice of his mother was heard from downstairs. He begrudgingly exclaimed a 'Sorry'. "You better be sorry! Or else I'll get rid of your tonfas for good and this time I will not let Alaude talk me into returning them because I'll personally crush them with a mallet!" …It really makes him wonder how his father lasted this long with her… such a scary woman… Well, that must be because of the crazy little thing called love… which was also his problem… Curse you unrequited love…

Now thanks to that pineapple headed bastard he was now laying in his bed in a total daze… hell, didn't even bother changing his clothes or caring about dinner… "KYOYA! Get your stubborn ass down here!" …Seems like he spoke too soon, really, why did his father fall for her… a big mystery, but he can't help but admit, he wouldn't have it in any other way. Shana was also after all, the best mother he ever had.


With Tsuna on the other hand, he was also deep in thought. Hibari Kyoya was a man of action and not of words and not only was his beloved onii-chan acting strange he also felt really strange around him lately, like a few months ago his face felt hot after seeing his nii-chan shirtless though the window while he was playing with Fuuta, his little brother, in the backyard… he assumed it was because he felt like he was peeping. There was also a time when he went to Italy with his father for a short vacation, he kept thinking about him… but yet again he assumed it was because they were always, always together and it had himself thinking that it was absolutely nothing. But if he did think about these sort of matters he would always have this heavy feeling in his gut that was somewhat telling him that he missed something, something very important, something he misunderstood… but being Tsuna he hates it when he's using too much brain power and would eventually shrug it off later on. That was his terrible mistake.

"Ah! I know! I should make Kyoya-nii some chocolates! It's valentines tomorrow so it's a good time to do that!" He excitedly announce as he punched in the air confirming his scheme. 'Hm… I should ask mom to help me!' With that in mind he ran down the stairs in great speed.

"He-hey! Tsuna-nii, play with me…" Fuuta called out as he ran past him.

Tsuna just went on with his little mission. "Maybe next time Fuuta! I'll be a bit busy!" He reached the kitchen and told his mother about his valentines chocolate plan.

"Why of course I'll teach you, Tsu-kun! Kyo-kun has been doing such a good job in watching over you after all! I'm glad you're taking notice of his feelings!" His mother patted his head happily. "Oops! My tongue almost slipped!" Nana couldn't help but giggle at her son's questioning look.

'Taking notice of… his feelings…?' Doesn't he always take notice? Doesn't he always do just as that? Or, does he?

He snapped back into reality when his mother started explaining about how to make them perfectly. But he still can't help but think. 'What is it that I'm missing? There is something that I'm not noticing…' Did it have anything to do with their relationship? For now he'll just have to concentrate on making his nii-chan's chocolates.


The next day became really exciting! Gokudera and Yamamoto had piles of chocolates once again, not that anyone would bother making some for him, Tsuna was satisfied watching other people happy by giving and receiving their precious chocolate. Tsuna was also pretty excited to give his chocolates to Kyoya and he just can't help but smile to himself. And finally when the bell rung he immediately told Takeshi and Hayato to go ahead without him stating that he had something important to do. Thus he picked up his bag excitedly as he went out the classroom. But just when he was headed to the reception room he just had to bump into somebody.

"O-oh! Sorry I didn't watch where I was going! …Mukuro-kun?" Raising a brow at the blue haired lad and tilting his head in wonder. "What are you doing here?"

"Kufufu… Do you think you can give me a second Tsunatoshi-kun? I have something very important to tell you… " Mukuro said in a gentle tone, he didn't wait for a reply as he quickly caught the boy's wrist and dragged him to the school's rooftop.

"Uhh… errm… What was it you wanted to say Mukuro-kun?" He only received a gentle smiled and a chuckle. "P-please don't tease me! I also have something important to do you know…" He said as he bashfully looked at his feet as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.

"Well… Tsunayoshi-kun… you see I've meaning to tell you something I should have told you a long time ago…" Mukuro inched closer while Tsuna stepped back in return, Mukuro's face changing from playful to serious. "You see, I've always loved you." …This was not something Tsuna expected.

Tsuna looked down sadly, although he knew what he felt towards him he just could seem to say it, no he just didn't want to hurt a dear friend… but he also didn't want him to get his hopes up and hurt him twice as much later on, so he had to say it. "Mukuro… I'm sorry but I—"

"Don't finish it… I know." To his surprise Mukuro was smiling. "It was pretty obvious… but I felt that I won't be able to rest in peace if I can't tell you how I feel…" Mukuro patted his head gently before walking away, but before doing so, "Make sure you make a certain someone happy though…" he Kufufu'ed one last time before stalking off, leaving Tsuna there alone.

Tsuna can't help but ask. "…What the hell just happened?" He clearly hurt Mukuro… he really didn't want that but that was inevitable. "Unrequited love …" It was really weird too, that phrase… made him really sad and unconsciously tears crept down his cheeks and he started to feel really sad somehow.

"Tsunayoshi…"

He turned to face the person he was supposed to be looking for. "N-nii-chan—"

"What happened? Answer me." Kyoya's eyes narrowed dangerously, who dared to make his cute little herbivore cry.

"U-uh! Mukuro confessed to me!" He exclaimed, wiping his tears.

Kyoya silenced after that. "What did you say?"

"I rejected him."

That actually made him a bit better and—

"Ah! Right! Nii-chan, I made some chocolates for you!" He handed him a purple box with an orange ribbon, Kyoya, who was in shock by this just took it, and this was the first time Tsuna actually gave him chocolate on Valentine's Day it also made him very happy though he didn't show it much. "U-uh… I'm not that good at cooking and this was my first time making chocolates… I also didn't make them alone so I hope—wah!" He was cut off by a warm embrace. "Kyo-kyoya-niichan?" Kyoya broke the hug, almost too soon—and just when he was about to hug back too.

To Tsuna's surprise, "Thank you…" his nii-chan was smiling… not the small ones this was actually the widest he ever saw… a smile that showed him that Kyoya was happy. Now, an additional question was added in his mind. 'Why the hell is my heart being so fast?' He thought as his face also flushed a rich colour of pink.

Our promise on that day a long time ago is now leading me the way…

~o0O0o~


T.B.C


Okay let me get this straight before anyone asks...

Kyoya is aware of his feelings... but he can't tell whether Tsuna feels something for him too...

Tsuna is certainly not aware of his own feelings and Kyoya's, but he admits that he feels something he doesn't understand... we all know but he doesn't... XD
