Fun Fact: This was supposed to be the epilogue chapter of the story where Tsuna was going to discover that Hibari was a doctor. He got sick after being groped in the cold but as I was writing it, I found it to be too boring. So I changed Hibari's occupation, then I had to change Mukuro's. Then I added in Reborn (Reborn was not in story originally), and so on.

So any chapter coming after this one is entirely Hibari's fault. All because he didn't want to be a doctor. *smiles*

Chapter 4: Who Are You? (Part 1/3)

For several hours after Reborn had hissed his disapointement into his ear, Tsuna lay rigid and still beside the gently sleeping man. His eyes felt heavy and he desperately wished for sleep but the guilt and shame of his actions made it nearly impossible. How could he? It was so silly, looking back on it. Allowing himself to be molested and fucked by strangers like a whore made his stomach churn. He was doing so well before too and here he was, messing it all up again. There was no doubt in his mind that Reborn was planning his punishments as he slept and he would deserve all the pain and misery the sadist was planning.

Tsuna blinked sleepily, noticing how much lighter it was outside. It was nearing daybreak, around 5 in the morning. He silently yawned, tears forming in his eyes. His eyes fluttered shut and allowed himself to get comfortable. Reborn's body heat was soft and comforting, ironically enough. He hadn't slept much at all and he probably had another hour or so to take a quick nap.

That is, until he suddenly felt a rough shove and he was thrown to the ground with a startled scream. He landed on his right elbow and a sharp hot pain traveled throughout his entire arm, the static feeling terrible.

"OW! Reborn! What did you do that for?!" Tsuna snapped, rubbing his throbbing elbow and glaring at the stretching man.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." The man yawned.

"You threw me off the bed!"

"Now why would I do something like that?"

Tsuna bit his tongue.

They descended into a tense silence as Tsuna sat on the floor rubbing his aching elbow while Reborn continued with his light arm stretches.

Tsuna bit the lining of his cheek, ready to take on his punishments. "I know you're mad... Please say something... anything. Let me have it."

Reborn said nothing as he began twisting his back, audbible cracks the only sounds in the room. Until he finally spoke, voice emotionless.

"Who did you have sex with?"

Tsuna kept his eyes on the floor. "I don't know."

"Look at me."

Tsuna forced himself to stare into cold hard eyes. He wanted to sink into the floor.

"You had sex with a man you didn't know?"

"Two..."

"Two?"

"Two men."

A small pause.

"One after the other or at the same time?"

"One... after the other."

"Hmm."

Reborn broke eye contact first and Tsuna felt it safe to return his gaze at the wooden floor once again. There was a small blotch of dried dirt near his foot. He'd have to clean it later. He could hear Reborn moving around but he didn't dare glance up. Cold shame and humiliation rattled the nerves in his body.

The sound of a familiar click resounded throughout the room and he paled before quickly throwing himself to the side. A second later the sound of a BB gun firing rang as several rubber bullets pelted the area he was just sitting on.

"Hie! Reborn, please! Don't! Stop!"

"'Don't stop?' Is that what you were moaning last night?"

Tsuna screamed as he dodged another batch of bullets around the room. There wasn't much he could hide behind. Reborn continued to aim and shoot at him, a nonchalant expression on his face. Panting, Tsuna ran towards the door but as soon as his fingers touched the knob, several bullets struck his back making him scream and crumble to the floor.

Tears threatened to escape his eyes and he writhed on the floor, moaning in pain and trying to rub the pained areas. "Ow, Reborn, stop! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I won't do it again!"

Reborn scoffed, aiming the BB gun at his head. "That's not the first time I heard that line." Tsuna flinched, shut his eyes and raised his arms in defense.

The gun clicked. Then clicked again.

Tsuna sighed in relief and continued to rub at his pained areas. The gun was out of bullets which meant his punishment was over. He silently rubbed what he could while Reborn tisked and put the gun away on the nightstand near the bed.

"Did you accept any money for your tricks?" The man asked callously.

"How could you say something like that?" Tsuna's voice cracked, "I... I know what I did was inexcusable. I really am sorry, Reborn. You're trying so hard and all I ever do is spit in your face. I truly appreciate you. I'm just... sorry you chose someone like me to take care of. I really am just trash, aren't I?"

Reborn said nothing for a long while. He wanted Reborn to say something. He wanted Reborn to yell at him, hit him, shoot him again, something! His silence only made his guilt feel heavier. Tears escaped his eyes and his body trembled. Soon his soft hiccups were the only sounds in the room as he tried to cry silently.

Finally, Reborn sighed, patted the bed, next to him. "Come here."

Tsuna did what he was told and sat on the bed, refusing to meet Reborn's eyes. Reborn placed his hand on his back and began to gently rub the wounds he inflicted. "Those men... were they the same ones who rescued you?"

"Yes. They initiated it. I wanted to reject them but... I just gave in."

"Do you know their names?"

"No. They never told me and I never asked."

"I wish you did."

Tsuna blinked at Reborn, sensing that the man was cooling off though he still had a dark look on his face.

"Why do you say that?"

"So that I could find them and kill them."

"Hiieee! Please don't- They don't deserve that!"

"Do not tell me what to do, Dame-Tsuna." Reborn pinched his cheeks roughly. Tsuna groaned and tried to free himself from the man's harsh grip. "Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, Reborn, stop!"

Reborn's loosened his grip on his cheeks but didn't let go. Tsuna sniffed as Reborn's eyes narrowed, his voice serious, "Tsuna... Do not betray my trust like this again or I will throw you out into the streets."

"Yes, Reborn, I promise," Tsuna sniffed, though happy that Reborn was forgiving him.

"As punishment, however..." Tsuna's smile dropped, dread filling him instantly. Reborn was never the type to forgive someone so easily.

"I'm adding an extra two kilometers into your daily run. You must complete seven kilometers, 150 sit-ups, and 50 push-ups within the hour then return immediately after. You will be given an extra twenty pages of work to complete and you will no longer be allowed to play video games or watch television. You will only be allowed to go outside to buy groceries and the GPS tracker on your phone will be enabled again. Am I clear?"

Tsuna's shoulders sagged at the thought of his leash shortening again. "Yes, sir, I understand."

Half an hour later, Tsuna was outside the house and in his orange and white tracktsuit beginning his seven-kilometer run. He usually felt like dying around the third kilometer so the next four were going to be nothing but torture and with a shorter time to compete the run, he had less time to walk and recover. The dull ache in his backside did nothing to help either and with the added pushups and situps only made it worse. It was a little after 6 am by the time he returned.

Stepping out of the shower, he took in his body through the mirror. Red and purple blotches on his neck were highly visible and he wondered how he ever thought he would be able to successfully conceal them. Numerous colored dots marred his body though the two that he remember the most were the ones on hips. The ones where the two handsome unknown men bit him, whispering encouraging words to him. He smiled gently, and ran a finger down each mark. He enjoyed last night too much, more than he should.

His smiled faded when he turned to look at his aching back. White rings of raised skin encircled red dots across his back from when Reborn shot at him. He winced when he gently poked at a mark. 'Reborn didn't have to be so harsh all the time.'

He quickly got dressed into a white undershirt, cream turtleneck sweater, and black jeans then began to make Reborn's favorite lunch of nami flavored miso soup. Then began to make Reborn's favorite breakfast of egg omelet with steamed rice and a large cup of espresso.

Once the clock hit 7, Reborn walked out of the bedroom, yawning lightly, and sat on his chair in the dining room. He didn't say anything as he reached for the newspaper Tsuna brought in when he came back from his run. Tsuna placed the meal in front of him and the two ate in silence.

Normally, Reborn would comment on the news happening in the world, usually something crime related, and inform Tsuna about such things. Tsuna would comment back and they'd have a small discussion or joke around while they ate. But it looked like this time Reborn wasn't in the mood to talk let alone look at him.

By 8, Reborn was dressed in his uniform and repeated the rules he expected Tsuna to follow. Tsuna silently nodded in affirmation and handed the man the bento he made.

Once Reborn closed the door, the house suddenly felt cold and empty.

Tsuna stared at the door for a few minutes, his guilt manifisting itself again before lethargically going to clean the dishes and clean the kitchen. On the lounging room table was the daunting 30-page workload. Tsuna grabbed his stationary on the shelf to the wall and sat down with a cup of orange juice and began. Usually, he would watch some tv while he did his work to help entertain him but since Reborn forbade it... he didn't have a choice but to work in deafening silence.

Time came and went until it was high noon. Tsuna stretched, feeling tired, bored, and frustrated by the work. He tapped his fingers on the table as he reviewed the work he'd done. He was half-way finished and was certain his answers were correct. Satisfied, he stood, grabbed his wallet, keys, and phone and headed out the door to buy some groceries and to take a much-needed break.


Namimori's shopping district was quite large with a wide assortment of shops, restaurants, markets and cafes. It was the best place to buy anything and everything and to hang around with friends. At the time, there were only mostly elderly citizens, middle-aged women, and young children around since everyone else was most likely at work or school.

Tsuna sneezed and rubbed his nose and went over his list of things he needed to buy. Coffee for Reborn, orange juice, steak, apples, cabbage...

He stumbled when he accidently bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Please excuse me."

The man turned and Tsuna's breath hitched.

Cool gray-blue eyes stared down at him- Kyo-kun's eyes. They weren't a black color now that he could see them in the light. His once touseled hair was now styled back. An expensive black suit, white colored shirt, and black tie fitted the man's lean and muscled body well.

"Herbivore."

"Ah, good afternoon..." He replied anxiously. He needed to leave. Kyo-kun was probably angry at him.

"What are you doing today?"

"Eh?" Tsuna stammered, unsure of what to say. "I'm just... going to buy groceries for dinner."

"Is that so?" The man was silent as if pondering something before he turned and walked down the streets. "Follow me."

Tsuna hesitated. He didn't want to follow the man but found his feet were walking behind the man without his accord. A block away later, Hibari pulled him into a small half-empty Japanese restaurant. Hibari led him inside near the back where not many people were.

A waiter appeared soon after and Hibari ordered two hamburger steaks for both of them and glasses of water for their drinks. The waiter bowed and left, leaving them in silence.

"I want to apologize." Kyo-kun began, "If my partner and I offended you. We did not mean to make you feel so lowly you felt the need to run from us."

The apology stunned him mommentarially. He wasn't expecting an apology. "Thank you. I also want to apologize for running away so unexpectedly and rudely."

"Nonsense. We were the ones in the wrong. We overpowered you and blackmailed you. I made sure all the images were deleted soon after, though the idiot wanted to keep one."

Tsuna hid his muffled his laugh with his hand. "Thank you for that. And even so... I wasn't exactly complaining." -His cheeks burned- "I didn't regret it. It was fun."

The man smiled. A beautiful gentle smile that Tsuna couldn't help but return. An image of Kyo-kun's flushed face of ecstasy as he sucked him off flashed in mind and he gently shook his head to rid himself of the perverted image. It was rude to think of the man sitting in front of him like that.

The waiter brought their meal and his stomach grumbled lightly at the sight and the two chorused an "Ittadakimasu" before picking up their knives and forks.

Kyo-kun cut a small slice of his steak, "Do you like steak? This restaurant is famous for them."

"Actually salisbury steak is my favorite but hamburger steak is delicious too. I've never eaten from here before."

"Take a bite. You'll enjoy it."

Tsuna cut himself a piece and a smile spread out on his face. The hot combined flavored juices of the meat, onion, and sauce melted in his mouth. "It's delicious." Kyo-kun's lip curled and the two ate in a comfortable silence until they finished. They walked to the cashier near the exit and Tsuna brought out his wallet to pay for his meal until Kyo-kun raised his hand and pulled out his own money. "I can pay."

"I will pay for this meal. Think of it as another apology." Tsuna nodded and smiled. Kyo-kun was very polite and gentleman-like. The two walked out of the restraunt and the man checked his watch, before nodding at him.

"I will be leaving now. My lunch is almost over."

"Oh, yes, thank you for the meal again and work hard." He bowed to the man again.

"Will I see you here tomorrow?" Tsuna asked, a little eagerly.

"No, I will not be in the area tomorrow. Another time."

He tried to not let his disappointment show on his face. Kyo-kun began to walk away until Tsuna grabbed at the cloth of his arm. Kyo-kun paused and looked at him with curious eyes making Tsuna fiddled lightly with the bottom of his shirt. "Um, I'm sorry, I have to ask now after everything... but... what is your name?"

Kyo-kun blinked, then his brows furrowed, "You do not know my name?"

"That's because you never told me..."

Kyo-kun's eyebrow twitched as did his lip before he shut his eyes. Kyo-kun turned and Tsuna winced thinking the taller man was going to hit him. Instead, Kyo-kun pressed his forehead against his and Tsuna blushed at the proximity. "My name is Hibari Kyoya, you will do well to remember it this time, Kokubun Tsunayoshi."

"Eh?"

Hibari was already a street away when Tsuna pulled himself together. He ran after the man, trying to avoid the sudden sea of people.

"Wait! 'This time'? And how do you know my name?!"

He received no answer. His short stature made it impossible to look above everyone's heads to search for the mysterious man. People passed him by, staring at him curiously as he stood in the middle of the street.

"We've met before?"


Reborn came home at a more reasonable time that evening at around 8. The sun had just faded and Tsuna just finished his work when he Reborn call out, "I'm home."

"Welcome home, Reborn!" Tsuna greeted, approaching the man.

"Is dinner ready?"

"Yes, it's ready. How was work?"

"As it usually is."

The two sat at the four person table and ate silently. The menancing feeling Tsuna felt from Reborn was gone and he was happy that he wasn't so angry anymore.

Tsuna sneezed into a napkin and wiped his nose before picking up his fork again.

"Are you getting sick?"

"I think so but I hope it's just allergies."

After dinner, Reborn checked over his work marking whatever was wrong while Tsuna busied himself with cleaning the kitchen and dishes.

"Why were you at a restaurant today?" Reborn called from the dining table, his eyes never leaving the paperwork.

Tsuna paused momentarilly before resuming washing a pan.

"Oh, I was invited... I think I made a friend."

"A friend?"

"Yes. He was very nice. I had fun."

"Then what you mean to say is you went on a date."

"It's not like that Reborn!" Tsuna huffed, "We just ate and talked. That's it. Nothing happened."

Tsuna dropped the pan into the sink when Reborn suddenly stood. He walked backwards into the kitchen wall, as Reborn slowly strided towards him. Reborn's 6 foot large frame easily towered over him. Tsuna gulped and raised his arms against Reborn's chest.

"You're too close Reborn..." He whispered.

"Tsuna, do you remember why you asked me to look after you?" Reborn's hard gaze stared into him, "Do you remember your end goal?"

"Yes..." He whispered, "I haven't forgotten."

"I think you have," the man shook his head, continuing, "You were doing so well for almost a year now. And now you're suddenly going to throw away all your progress just because you want to fuck some men who ask?"

Tsuna grit his teeth and shoved Reborn, but of course the man barely moved, "It isn't like that Reborn! Yes, I mess up but I won't let it control me! I'm better now and I think you should have more faith in me."

"You aren't the most trustworthy when it comes to this sort of thing, Tsuna."

"I'm doing my best, Reborn." Tsuna cursed himself when his voice cracked, "You know I am."

Reborn was silent for a moment. A hand on his head startled him, though he enjoyed the way Reborn ruffled his hair.

"Were you good?"

"Yes. Nothing happened."

Reborn nodded slowly and leaned in to kiss Tsuna's forehead.

"Let's go to bed."

Tsuna nodded, feeling much more relaxed after his conversation with Reborn. He finished his duties and prepared a clean uniform for Reborn before joining the sleeping man in bed. Reborn shifted and opened his arms and Tsuna quickly warmed himself in his heat and melted into the safety of his strong arms.

He hadn't realized how exhausted he was. His vision blurred as he felt himself quickly drift to sleep. Reborn's figure and scent slowly faded and replaced with Hibari Kyoya's and Pineapples. He blinked sleepily but the images of the men didn't fade. Hibari's smirk and Pinapple's mischivious smile welcomed him into a white sea. Tsuna stretched out his arms and the two grabbed a hand each before pulling him close.

Tsuna smiled and cuddled closer into Reborn's chest as he dreamt.
