Chapter 22

Hibari sighed mentally for the umpteenth time. Tsuna was clearly afraid of him. "Tsunayoshi, I'm not going to bite you to death. You can relax and at least look happy you know?"

Tsuna flinched and inched away. He was already at the edge of the bench they both sat on. Hibari felt a twinge of pain stabbing at his heart. The last time his herbivore brought him here, they had a wonderful time. Now, the situation is just too tense.

Tsuna was having a hard time getting used to Hibari's gentleness and felt guilty for not being able to reciprocate his feelings for the scary prefect. "He told me he loved me but why can't I remember what happened for the past week or so?" Tsuna thought sadly. Hibari's pain reflected in his eyes and Tsuna felt himself hurting to see such a sad expression. "Why can't I love him back?" Tsuna asked himself.

Hibari watched the inner conflict in the small boy's eyes and decided it should be time he left the boy some time to think. He crossed quickly to Tsuna's side and briefly hugged him, hoping Tsuna would not realize he had lingered a little too long, and planted a chaste kiss upon those tender lips.

The instant Hibari closed in and kissed Tsuna, a sense of familiarity and nostalgia washed over him. Tsuna briefly recalled the scent of steel and apples. Unknowingly, Tsuna reached out to pull Hibari closer, deepening their kiss. Hibari's eyes widened with surprise. The boy was never this bold. Somehow he felt within the short kiss, Tsuna's desperateness to remember.

When they pulled away, Hibari starred into the warm honey colored orbs. "Hibari-san, I want to remember us. Please help me…" he whispered. Hibari felt his breaking heart come back together. He smiled which made the brunet blush. "Of course," he whispered and kissed the boy senseless this time, not holding back on his raging passion.

Tsuna could only hold onto the prefect's gakuran tightly and hope not to get swept away by the waves of raging ferocity beneath the subtle lips.

Tongues clashed together in a nostalgic dance that only the body can remember even when the mind has forgotten. Tsuna recalled every moment they spent in fragments and the last thing he remembered was Hibari's confession. "I belong to you, Tsunayoshi. Be mine…"

When they pulled apart, Hibari was shocked to see tears running down the cherubic face. Tsuna smiled at the prefect and told him something the prefect would always remember.

Ten years later…

Hibari, the most feared guardian of the Vongola Decimo's generation, closed the door gently behind him. He walked in the dark room comfortably. The room was quiet and the night was calm. Hibari smiled to himself when he approached the bed. A small lump bundled in quilt made itself cozy in the center of the king sized bed.

There laid Sawada Tsunayoshi, the most feared man of the underworld, snug as a bug in a rug only it was Hibari's bed.

"Tsunayoshi," Hibari called.

The smaller man stirred slightly in the warm nest. "Kyoya?"

At the sound of his name rolling at the tip of his smaller lover, Hibari chuckled and snuggled with the mafia boss. The cloud guardian trapped his lover and snuggled into the smaller chest. He made a noise of contentment which sounded very much like a purr that Natsu always made when Tsuna rubbed him beneath his chin. Hibari was never a person to cuddle and when he did, it always meant something special was going to happen but Tsuna could not tell if it was good or bad.

"Kyoya? Is something wrong?"

Hibari inhaled deeply and felt reassured. He looked up at Tsuna and asked "Do you remember the first time you fell for me?"

Tsuna blushed a little and nodded slightly. Hibari took this as a good sign to continue. "Do you remember what you said when you remembered that?"

Tsuna mumbled something and Hibari chuckled. "I can't hear you Tsunayoshi."

Tsuna, with heavy blush, whispered "I'm yours Kyoya…"

Hibari then pulled him into a feverish kiss and nuzzled his neck when they broke apart. Hibari then got serious and asked "Will you wear this as proof of my property then, Sawada Tsunayoshi?"

Tsuna was speechless. Hibari took out a box weapon and injected some cloud flames. The box opened and revealed a pair of matching rings. They were a beautiful blend of gems for every color of the Decimo's guardian. Only the inscription carved on the platinum were different. One had "For Sawada Tsunayoshi, the sky who holds all including my heart" and the other had "For Hibari Kyoya, the sky's only cloud". Tsuna was overwhelmed. He was unable to manage an answer and choked out something that sounded much like no to Hibari.

Refusing to believe that was the true answer Hibari tickled Tsuna in bed and made him laugh. Tsuna laughed till he cried and his stomach hurt. "St-stop! Haha! Ky-Kyoya~"

When Hibari finally took pity on Tsuna and stopped, Tsuna hugged Hibari tight and said "Of course, I'll wear it for you."

Hibari's pride began to swell and Tsuna added "It would not do well for me to have a jealous lover all the time would I?"

Hibari frowned. "How am I jealous now Sawada Tsunayoshi?"

Tsuna giggled. "You glare at Mukuro when he comes near me and at Gokudera or Yamamoto too."

Hibari thought to himself grimly "It's only because you have no idea what those three idiots are planning. As if I'll allow them to have a threesome with you!"

"Kyoya, you're making scary faces again."

Hibari huffed and tucked his lover in bed. "Go and sleep. You have a meeting with Cavallone tomorrow."

Tsuna pouted. "But Kyoya," he whined. "I wanted you to sleep with me…"

Hibari's restraint almost crumbled. Tsuna was a devil in disguise. After many years spent with Reborn, the angel turned to a devil in disguise. He knew just how to push Hibari's buttons and it always never failed to annoy the raven haired man. "Tsunayoshi…" he growled.

Tsuna smiled innocently. How looks can deceive… Hibari sighed in defeat and cuddled with his lover. "Only this time."

Tsuna giggled and snuggled closer. "You say that every time Kyoya but you never mean it…"

Hibari was about to retort when Tsuna planted a surprise kiss and wished him good night.

Hibari was stunned for a while before pulling the smaller body closer and whispering "Good night, I love you."
