Timeline: Future!fic. Pre-TYL Arc (canon timeline)

No report has been submitted by Hibari and his subordinates for weeks. Gokudera has been fuming and cursing the Cloud Guardian for making things hard for the management team. He doesn't seem to tire trying to convince Tsuna that having Hibari as a guardian really isn't much beneficial to them.Time and time again, Tsuna would just smile and tell Gokudera not to think too badly of Hibari.

From the open window of his dimly lit office, Tsuna watches as the thick cloud changes shape after shape, moving along to the rhythm of the wind.

Like the observable river flowing endlessly towards the calm Tyrrhenian sea, Hibari would drift endlessly away like the cloud he's attributed to. He would pave his own paths and listen to no one, but he would always come back to where Tsuna awaits.

Just as Tsuna sighs and closes his eyes, his phone rings. The unique ringtone makes him smile. Flipping his phone open, he smiles into the receiver.

"Hello, Hibari-san."

-End.
