"Finally! That was the last one!" the brunette rejoiced and jumped on his snowmobile, heading to the mysterious house he had to visit. He looked around the silent streets shining brightly because of colorful Christmas lights. It was snowing lightly and so he was enjoying the Christmas mood as he kept going forward. He was happy, it all went well - he had no problems with being on his own and he was able to make it in time.

'Now I just have to deliver these two presents to that house and go back. I still don't understand why did I have to leave it last though... and why was commander acting so strangely? It was as if she was saying goodbye...wait, she actually said 'goodbye' to me! But she didn't mean it like that right? I mean there's no way! Gosh, this Christmas is really weird...'

At last he spotted the house he headed to - it was enormous Japanese mansion with high stone fence and traditional gate. Tsuna stopped his snowmobile in front of it and stared at the big house before him. He wanted to see the whole mansion, because the fence wouldn't let him see all of it, so he quickly grabbed the sack and without thinking twice he jumped up on the gate and stood there for a while, just looking at the breath taking building.

There were no colorful lights nor any other Christmas decorations. It was as if the time stopped here and the brunette could only drool over the beauty of the mansion. He couldn't see much because it was dark, but thanks to the light from street, he could at least see a little bit of it.

'I wish I could see this house during the day...' he thought while looking around. 'Maybe that's why Lal wanted me to visit it as last - so I could stare at it as much as I want.' Sad smile appeared on his face. Again he felt a stab of envy, but he quickly shook his head and started thinking about how to get inside.

'I can use a magical powder and simply walk through the walls as always, but I think I can try to get inside through the garden. At least I can look around for a bit.' he grinned and with one big jump flew in the sky for a second before falling to the ground. The brunette's legs tripped when he landed and so he ended up lying in the snow. He hastily got on his feet and was stunned by the sight on the garden. He still couldn't see much but what he saw was enough.

'...beautiful...' he whispered as he was looking around himself. There was a small waterfall constructed by lots of tiny stones and the water flew through the garden as some smaller version of a river and ended in a pond. There were a various islands in the pond with a stone lanterns and bonsais. The brunette noticed a wooden bridge leading to a tea house surrounded by a bigger trees and bushes with a water basin near it and also the path made out of flat stones connecting the mansion with it. Whole garden was full of cute bonsais and nicely arranged stones with sand and the sound of shishiodoshi gave it all very calm and soothing mood.

Tsuna took a deep breath and wished he could see the garden during the day and without snow so he could grasp every detail of it.

"Are you done with sightseeing, herbivore?" Tsuna freaked out and fell on his ass from unexpected fright. Cold voice that interrupted him scared him so much, that he started shaking and wasn't able to stand up.

The brunette looked around himself panicky and froze when he noticed a person standing at the veranda. It was that guy from the afternoon - Hibari Kyoya! He was glaring at Tsuna, wearing black yukata tied up with grey obi and yukata jacket hanging on his shoulders.

'He can see me! B-but why?! How is that possible? Normally people can't see me...but then that means that he actually saw me this afternoon! Waaaa! What to do? No one ever told me what to do in this kind of situation!'

"Oi, herbivore, state your business or I'll bite you to death!" Hibari's eyes narrowed as he watched confused brunette in front of him.

'HIII! What should I do? Should I make up something?' he thought but when he saw prefect's dangerous look, he paled. 'Ok, I think that's not a good idea!'

Tsuna sighed and stood up, picking up his sack. "You maybe won't believe me, but actually I'm here to give you a present for Christmas." he said and watched Hibari's stoic expression. The prefect didn't look like he thought he's joking, so the brunette took out of the sack two presents and slowly went towards Hibari. When he was at the veranda, he carefully placed the presents by his feet and quickly took few steps back.

Shuffling around nervously, the brunette glanced at the prefect, who stared at the presents for a while before picking them up. He was looking at them when suddenly, he threw one at Tsuna, hitting him.

"I don't need this one." he just said.

"Huh? B-but it's yours!"

"Look carefully, herbivore! That thing is for you."

'For me?' Tsuna watched the small present nicely wrapped and tied with fluffy ribbon with his name written on it. He couldn't believe it. He got the present! His very first present! Tears started forming in his eyes as his whole body trembled with emotion. For the first time he experienced feeling of anticipation and true joy.

Without waiting any longer, he started unwrapping the present with agog in his eyes, discovering small decorated box. He opened it and gasped when he saw the content - there was a little bottle with silver powder in it. Tsuna knew in an instant what it was and this finding made him happy to the extent of the tears of happiness. It was the magical powder that could change an elf into human and suddenly everything made sense - Lal's strange behavior, Reborn's order to have him take care of this district and then visiting this house as last...actually only this didn't make sense to the brunette but honestly he didn't really care about it.

Hibari watched him the whole time and thought that maybe it was time to open his present even though he already knew what he got.

"I-is this really fo-for me? I m-mean I'm just a wo-worthless elf, who can't do anything right! This-...this can't be real..." Tsuna stuttered between the sobs. His hands were shaking and disbelief with happiness mixed in him.

"Don't make me repeat myself, Sawada! I said it's for you, so keep it!" Hibari looked him in the eyes and the brunette, stunned by his words, stared at him. He sniffed and wiped off his tears.

"Thank you, Hibari-san!" Tsuna smiled at him and even though he didn't realized it in that moment, it was actually the brightest and most honest smile he has ever made.

The brunette took a deep breath and slowly opened the bottle. Unexpected radiant light burst out, illuminating whole garden and then tiny particles of powder, shining like millions of stars, surrounded Tsuna and sticked to him. Tsuna lifted his hands and looked at them, examining them. Then he just laughed and started dancing in circles - it was so beautiful and it felt so good that he couldn't stop. After a while the light began to fade and in the end it stopped completely.

Tsuna ceased his dance and when he noticed Hibari was staring at him the whole time, he blushed and rubbed his head. 'Damn, this is embarrassing!' he thought and darted his head down since he wasn't able to look at the prefect.

Suddenly he heard steps heading towards him, so he dared to look at him, but in a moment he lifted his head, something smooth and warm covered his neck.

"Huh? W-what is it? A collar?!"

"Yes, this was my Christmas present." Hibari said, smirking.

"B-but why? I don't understand!" The brunette stared at him very confused.

"I don't remember exactly when I met you, but it was when I was still a child. One night you just appeared and left on my desk a Christmas present containing my first pair of tonfas. Since that time I was able to saw you and so I wished to have you as my animal."

When Hibari finished his quite simple explanation, Tsuna remembered the event, he talked about. It was his first time being a part of the squad and while the other members were in charge of giving presents to the parents, Tsuna had to give present to the child. Since this family apparently didn't have Christmas tree, he decided to left it on small Hibari's desk, but when he was about to leave, the child woke up and grabbed his sleeve, asking what he was doing there. 'I was so scared at that time that I just said I came to give him what he wished for and then I ran... is it possible that because he touched me, he was able to see me after that?'

"...ehm, that's all? I mean I don't understand your reason, Hibari-san. Why would you wished for something like that?" he asked.

"Hmpf! I hated to see you constantly jumping on the roofs. It's against the rules, so I decided to bite you to death for it." Hibari glared at him and as he watched scared brunette in front of him, he wondered if it was really his reason. It was true, that he wanted to beat him when he was smaller, but as the time passed his way of thinking about the elf changed and so the whole reason of his wish - but of course he wouldn't say that to him.

"HEEE?! Please don't bite me! I won't do it again!" Tsuna screamed.

"Of course you won't, if you don't have a death wish." the prefect sneered. "From now on you will listen to me, do you understand, Sawada Tsunayoshi?"

"H-hai!" the brunette stiffed, nodding furiously. Hibari watched him for a while and then turned around, ordering him to follow him to the house. Tsuna made few steps when suddenly after realizing something, he stopped.

"Ano, Hibari-san? I just wanted to say that I'm really grateful for your wish. Even though you didn't really intended to doing it for my sake, it made me very happy! I wanted to become a human for a very long time, but it's impossible for elves to wish for something. But your wish technically fulfilled mine and it's all thanks to you, Hibari-san! You saved me, so please, let me repay you!" he said with resolve.

"Stop spouting off nonsense! My wish was fulfilled because your presence was needed and the same goes for you. That makes us even, so shut up!" Hibari glanced at him and was a little surprised that he didn't scare the brunette by his harsh answer.

"I can't! Please let me! I'll do anything" The prefect, looking at the small figure before him, smiled faintly when a brilliant idea crossed his mind.

"Alright. Then for starters kiss me."

"K-ki-ki-kiss y-you?! I-...that's..." Tsuna's face immediately changed it's color into red and he could feel his cheeks boiling. 'What kind of request is this?!' he thought as he squeezed his shirt nervously.

"Didn't you say you would do anything?" Hibari couldn't help but smirk sadistically since the view in front of him was very adorable and amusing.

"...y-yes, I s-said that." Tsuna gulped and slowly moved towards the prefect. His legs were shaking crazily and he felt his heartbeat quickening its pace. 'Does he want me to get a heart attack?!' he wondered and when he was finally standing before him, his mind went blank. Hypnotized by Hibari's lips he blushed even more and took one more step closer. Their high difference made it hard for him to reach so he stood on the tips of his toes and clenched Hibari's jacket, so he wouldn't fall. The prefect wrapped his hands around brunette's waist gently.

Tsuna lifted his head and looked into Hibari's grey eyes. For a moment time stopped for them and it seemed as if the falling snowflakes kept flying in one spot. Hibari bend his head for Tsuna and touched his forehead, smirking and waiting for the kiss. The brunette closed his eyes and pressed his lips on Hibari's carefully, giving him cute warm kiss. He felt Hibari smiling and inside his chest his heart skipped a beat and butterflies flew in his stomach - that feeling was so nice that later Tsuna wondered what was it...first love?

"M-merry Christmas, Hibari-san." the brunette whispered after their lips parted, looking down nervously. Strong hand brushed through his thick wild hair, surprising him a little.

"Merry Christmas, Tsunayoshi." Hibari said with unusual smile. Tsuna flinched in prefect's arms and looked at him with his flushed face, returning him a shy smile. This was for sure the best Christmas!
