Chapter 1

He didn't know. That all it took was the briefest encounter. To flip his life upside down.

When he found himself not only not minding her presence, but rather wanting her presence, he knew something has changed.

At first he had took it as a sign of weakness. He ignored his own desire for her presence, simply because a carnivore doesn't need it. He didn't need her, he thought, or rather, he told himself to not need her. Make do without her. He didn't even know her.

But then again, why did he felt something is missing? Like he had lost half of him. But that was certainly not true. Hibari Kyoya was complete. He didn't lose any part of him. He was one and complete and he knew it perfectly. He didn't lose his arms, nor did he lose his legs. He didn't lose any of his body parts. Not even one hair was missing from his body.

And yet, he felt it. Emptiness. Hollow. Something was missing.

He couldn't do anything. Something was missing but he didn't know what. He continued ignoring the fact that something, something important was missing. Days, months, years passed by. He was tortured inside.

Until he saw it. A cloud merging with another cloud. Becoming bigger, mightier than it was before.

Normally, it was not something of importance. Apparently, at that time, it took only that something not important, to make him realize. What he had denied all this time, for the sake of his pride.

He had known, for a long time. From the first time they met. When she had fallen into his arms. That she had became a part of him. He had took it as a sign of weakness.

But he realized. That it was not true at all. He hadn't became weak, neither had her. She was not his weakness, nor was him her weakness. They had became each other's half. They were now complete—more than complete, he corrected. Because Hibari Kyoya was one and complete before he met her and so was her. They were more than they were before but he couldn't see it.

For the first time in his life, Hibari Kyoya was frustrated beyond words. No existing word could describe his stupidity, not even his trademark 'kamikorosu', and he knew it. He had ignored her part in his life, tortured himself for years, denying it all for the sake of his pride. Or so he thought. But that was not the case. Her existence didn't hurt his pride. She had made him stronger than ever. His pride wasn't effected in anyway at all.

The first time he met her, he had dismissed it as a mere coincidence. The second time, a matter of course. (Since they attend the same school) The third time as luck. And so on. He continued meeting her, staring at her eyes, looking at her figure at the distance, whether purposefully or not.

But now, he was certain. That from here on, he would continue to meet her, gaze at her eyes, and look at her purposefully, deliberately.

He fastened his steps with her on mind, determined to reach her side, and of course, never let her leave his side. He smirked at the thought, and disappeared with the wind. Just like a cloud.

Her eyes widened, her heart beating too fast for her liking against her rib cage. Her mouth slightly opened, and her ears itched. Her flames flared and she knew it was not an illusion. And there was nothing wrong with her ears. Her slightly agape mouth twitched against her will, and she released a quick, soft breath, closing her mouth after.

She opened her mouth again, slowly, carefully, and after some pause, she asked him. "... You do know what that meant if you said it to a woman, don't you?"

"Hn." He grunted, clearly disturbed that she thought he didn't know what he said. He grabbed her hand, as gentle as he could, and shoved a velvet box into her hand.

He released her hand from his, still staring at her eyes, while she stared at that little box, her eyes widened. She slowly brought her other hand on top of the velvet box, and pulled it open, revealing a shiny gold ring, with diamonds scattered across its surface. She lifted her head slowly, her hair swaying slightly, her eyes staring right into his steel eyes, their eyes met with intensity never before happened. Still gazing at each other, he opened his mouth, and said. "Marry me."

Slightly, her eyes shook, and he swore he could see tears wetting her eyes, but before he could see them fall from her eyes, she had embraced him, the box still in her hand, her face into his chest. The only evidence of those tears falling from her eyes was the wetness he could feel on his shirt.

He cupped her cheeks and lifted her head. He could see her tear stained face. She was too beautiful, taking his breath away from him. Crying should make her look weak, but why did she look even more beautiful than before?

He leaned down, his face nearing hers. Slightly tilting his head to the side, he crashed his lips into her soft ones, and they dance. Trying to search for each other, exploring each other. He kissed her and kissed her and kissed her again until he remembered the size and location of each of her tooth, the feel of her teeth against his, her tongue against his, the flavor of her lips. And all he knew after that was the flavor of her.

AN.

What Hibari said to her was, "Be mine."

Lol. That's just so Hibari.

It's actually going to be explained later from her point of view, where Hibari suddenly appeared and said, "Be mine." But I don't think I'll have any time to continue this story so I might as well give some spoiler.

I'm very sorry for any grammatical error because I made this in a hurry. An idea suddenly hit me but I don't have any time to write it, and it ended up pretty messy. I haven't even reread it for any typos and I hope my grammar is not that terrible.

I'll (hopefully) continue this story later because this is really far from the ending. There's so much flashbacks that haven't been explained, and so much about what happened after that sudden proposal (lolz) that I want to write. Hopefully I will have some time after the exams are over.
