Hibari forgets a lot of things. Hibari doesn't remember the last time he cried. He knows it was a long time ago, back in the time when he was still a toddler. He doesn't remember how he became what he is today, but he's secretly glad to still be alive. Sometimes, he purposefully forgets things that he thinks are not worthy of occupying the precious space in his box of memories. He forgets a lot of things, but he always remembers the day he first met Sawada Tsunayoshi crying and sobbing at the playground, bullies towering over him, jeering at the poor boy.

He bets Tsunayoshi doesn't remember, but that was actually the first time he had ever beaten up a group of adults. A group of adults bullying a helpless child. How disgusting. Afterwards, he bonked the little boy's head a little with his tonfa and told him to go home. Well, Hibari ended up walking little Tsuna home because the boy was still crying and whining about the bullies coming back to get him.

Remembering that time always makes Hibari smile. Tsuna was so, so cute as a little kid. That was probably why he was always bullied. The poor dear.

Hibari is smiling to himself when he feels small arms finding its way around his body, hugging him like a child would his favourite teddy bear. He turns around and pulls the smaller young man into his embrace, facing the window, simply looking at the peaceful sky.

"What are you thinking about, Kyouya-san? You've been standing at the window for hours," Sawada Tsunayoshi, allegedly an adult, whines like a child.

Hibari rolls his eyes., but smiles nonetheless. He's been spoiling Tsuna way too much, it seems. "I was thinking about the time when you were way cuter than you are now."

Tsuna gives him a mock glare. "Well, I certainly remember the time when Kyouya-san was prettier too. Aw, aw, ooouch... Don't pinch my cheeks! You know it's true!"

"Hmph. Cheeky, aren't you?"

A grin. "By the way, Kyouya-san..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you remember when we first met at the playground?"

Aah. So he does remember. Hibari is so tempted to widen his smile, but it would be out of character for him to do so.

"Of course."

He forgets a lot of things, but there are things he tries hard to never forget.

Things like everything about Sawada Tsunayoshi.

-end.

p.s/ Go fluff!

Hibari stared down at the sleeping boy, amused at the occasional moan and groan he unconsciously made in his sleep. There was a trace of drool at one side of his mouth. If Hibari Kyouya was not Hibari Kyouya, he would have giggled unceremoniously at the sight.

It doesn't matter if it was his sofa in his disciplinary committe office that the boy was sleeping on.

In the end, Hibari was unable to hold back his amusement. A rare smile made its way to his face. Almost immediately, the 'I'm having a nightmare' look on the sleeping boy's face disappeared, replaced by a look of contentment.

Hibari leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on the boy's forehead. It was a scene that would have made anyone scream bloody murder in horror and accuse Hibari of being possesed (possibly by an infamously cheeky pineapple haired illusionist who refused to admit being involved with the mafia despite being a Vongola guardian).

"Sleep well, little herbivore.

Because I'll be biting you thoroughly once you wake up."

-End.
