New year with herbivore

Gratitude or love?

As the sun was rising lazily its rays illuminated whole Namimori, waking up the town. The sky was clear with some little clouds and the wind blew calmly, as if it was too tired after the morning. Some people already got up and were shoveling away the snow from the roads to their homes.

Near the certain Japanese mansion were birds singing and looking inside the house curiously through the open window, waking up the brunette from his slumber. Tsuna opened his eyes heavily and blinked few times. After rubbing them he wondered if he should try to sleep some more, while yawning deeply, but soon he realized he's not alone on the futon. He felt two strong arms holding him, legs interwoven together with longer ones and warm breathing in his hair.

It was a bit hot, but Tsuna didn't mind and instead snuggled closer, chuckling. He had his head placed right next to prefect's neck, so he could see his collarbones and when he peeked at his exposed chest his face turned red. Suddenly Hibari's chest moved when he breathed in deeply, startling the brunette, who thought the skylark found out about his peeking.

Tsuna let out relieved sigh and dared to touch Hibari's chest carefully. When nothing happened, the brunette grinned and brushed over prefect's body slowly, enjoying that exciting and warm feeling in his hands and heart. 'I want to see his sleeping face, but what if I wake him up by moving my head? Hibari-san hates waking up, so it would be quite troublesome...but I really want to see it...'

After this internal fight, Tsuna extra carefully and extremely slowly moved his head and lifted it to see the face of his dearest one. 'He looks so calm! Damn, why am I so excited just from seeing his sleeping face? ...would he notice if I touched him a little?' he thought while lifting his hand towards prefect's face. His fingertips were just few millimeters from Hibari's cheek, when suddenly he opened his eyes, looking at Tsuna's shocked and then quite embarrassed expression.

"What are you doing, Tsunayoshi?" he asked. The brunette frozed for a moment but soon his face blushed crazily.

"I-...it-it's not wha-what you think, H-Hibari-san! I-... I was j-just..." shaking his hands furiously, Tsuna stuttered with difficulty.

"I thought, that you're going to get up, since you stopped moving your hands."

"Wait! W-what?! You mean you were awake the whole time?!??"

"Yeah, I was and I have to admit it was quite pleasant." Hibari said with his usual stoic face as if there wasn't anything weird about it.

'WAAA! What should I do?! This is so embarrassing!!' Tsuna clenched his hair, hiding his face in the sheets, but then Hibari's hand touched his head gently, so he glanced at him shyly. In that moment Hibari moved closer and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"I'll prepare breakfast so come in 10 minutes to the living room." he said smiling and ruffling brunette's hair. After he left, Tsuna sat up, touching his forehead and feeling his cheeks boiling. Gradually an uncontrollable grin formed on his face. 'Well at least he liked my touch...'

When he folded up the sheets, he went to the bathroom to wash his face and fix his yukata and obi. It was more than a week since Hibari took him in and let him live with him. Tsuna thought that he would get his own room, but the prefect only told him which rooms he's not allowed to enter and ordered him to sleep with him from now on. The brunette of course didn't mind it, cause he liked the skylark very much, but what he thought was gratitude was actually something more than that.

After coming to the living room which was at the same time a kitchen, cause there were kitchen units, fridge, oven and lots of cupboards with shelves. The kitchen was separated from the rest on the room by more kitchen units with high bar stools. Hibari, who was finishing breakfast, looked him and pointed at the teapot and two cups on one kitchen unit behind him.
