They went on for a while like this, Tsuna even being brave enough to kiss Hibari on the cheek one day after he was walked home. It soon became a sort of tradition to do so every day – Hibari found that he liked this very much. Then, one day Hibari popped right into Tsuna's classroom in the middle of a lecture to basically give Tsuna a make-out session on his desk, raising many wolf-whistles, cat calls, and strangled screams from Gokudera. Yamamoto just laughed, saying that they had the freedom to do what they wanted.
As it was Hibari, the teacher gave no punishment, simply continuing the lecture after the prefect's departure with a dazed, utterly humiliated, and bright red Tsuna sprawled over his desktop. When asked later, Hibari replied that he read it in a book and wanted to try it.
Hibari began taking Tsuna to the Reception Room every lunchtime so they could spend time with each other – and only each other. Tsuna felt a little guilty about neglecting Yamamoto and Gokudera, but when he voiced this to Hibari, the upperclassman snorted and replied, "They don't matter. Nothing matters. Just you here… alone with me."
Tsuna was highly confused, but let it pass.
The second time, it was pouring rain outside.
Tsuna had quite a lot of homework to do, so he needed to get home. Hibari was still in the Reception Room to finish some last minute paperwork.
And since Dame-Tsuna was Dame-Tsuna, he didn't check the forecast and didn't bring an umbrella.
"Oh, Sawada. You still here?" Ito Satoshi, a rather easygoing classmate appeared.
"Ah… Haha, I forgot my umbrella…" Tsuna said sheepishly.
"Oh! Well, you can share mine, I don't mind."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah!" he opened his umbrella. "Come here– "
Thwack.
Blood flew, spraying the rain-soaked cement with dots of dark liquid.
Tsuna could only watch, eyes and mouth open in horror as the unconscious body fell, hitting with a sick splash. The umbrella skid out into the torrent of rain.
Hibari lowered his tonfa.
"Don't touch other people's belongs so casually." He stated coldly. The body didn't answer.
Tsuna fell to his knees, shaking like a leaf in this very storm. He gripped the fabric of his pants, still staring in horror at the classmate. Tears collected, spilling down pale cheeks and splashing onto his soaked vest.
Hibari kneeled next to his beloved, wrapping loving arms around him.
"You're beautiful even when crying…"
I hate it when other people touch you…
"W-Why…" Tsuna whispered, still shaking.
Hibari's grip tightened, drawing his warm torso to Tsuna's frozen one.
"Because I won't allow anyone to touché what is mine. You're mine Tsunayoshi. Mine. I'm yours… I don't want anyone else in our world…"
"We'll become isolated from the rest of the world…"
Tsuna transferred his grip from his pants to Hibari's dress shirt. He clenched it tightly, curling ip next to his lover.
Hibari allowed it for a minute, but then carefully picked up the small boy, cradling him in strong arms. He strode back inside, and whispered gently to the figure in his arms, "Shh… It's okay, I'll call an ambulance for him… Don't cry, please don't cry."
Tsuna's thick tears continued even after they reached the Reception Room. Hibari produced towels from somewhere, thoroughly toweling Tsuna off, and changing him into Hibari's spare uniform. He called an ambulance after Tsuna was warm, dry, and holding a cup of hot tea before drying himself.
"There. See, he'll be fine. You don't even know him, there's nothing to cry about… Shh…"
Hibari rocked Tsuna back and forth, whispering comfort into his ears. He wiped the tears with his thumb and kissed the rest away. Butterfly kisses were left on Tsuna's petite nose, on his cheeks, forehead, eyelids, and lips. It was a full ten minutes of gentle treatment before Tsuna responded and curled up on the prefect's lap, savoring their shard warmth for a while longer before planting a tired kiss on the Cloud's chin and drifting off to dream. Hibari's cell rang out at some point, but he ignored it, contenting himself with staring at Tsuna for the rest of the night.
Mine.
"Yes. That would be … True happiness."
Okay, so I lied, THIS is the last chapter before I go to China. 8D Mainly to tell the world: HELLO, the last chapter was not a super lame oneshot. Bad. Baaad for those who thought that. D8 Four chapters, dearies. Four. And it's not really fluffy at all for the last chappie until maybe the very end – I'll just give you the second half of the story in three weeks. 8D And also, HUGE brownie points to the people who can figure out where the italicized quotes come from.
