after taking a bite of the canneloni, "What about my bath time? It's my bathroom so..."

Use mine.

But your smell like an old man.

What do you call yourself? You're not exactly young either.

;_; that's cruel, Romario.

Take a bath when he's left for school and use my bathroom for the other things.

Okie. ( ._.) I feel like a prisoner here...

Well, whose fault is it?

Mine... ( ._.)

sighs. "Fine, you can leave your study if I'm around.... Just don't touch Hibari. That's clearly a trigger for his attack."

Si... ( ._.)

Do you know how long this keeps up?

It depends for some people. Days? Years?

I see... ( ._.)

I told you that patience is the key here, Dino. At least Hibari didn't leave. That means the kid still feels something for you... maybe

Hrmm... ( ._.) That was surprising actually... I didn't expect that.

Well now you can giggle a little in your sleep and look forward to your next date with Hibari in 10 years.

10 years... I can wait that. ( ._.)

chuckles in his seat. "You'd have your first sign of wrinkles by then. And your butt will be lopsided already."

I doubt Mr. Hibari would still like you by then. He must have snagged the heart of another 15 year old somewhere.

(;_; ) Dun say that Romario....

I'm just gearing you up to possibilities, Boss.

( ._.)

Well, Cheer up. He stayed, right? Just loosen up around him because acting like a scared puppy won't work.

He'll feel more guilty if you act like that.

Okay. ( ._.)

And grab the chance to talk to him. Just avoid the physical contact until he comes to you...

Okay. ( ._.)

If you need a kiss or a hug, knock and I'll give 'em to you like I did when you were young.

Oka- No. O_O Why would I get a kiss from you?

You're a needy boy, you like being hugged and kissed. If you get lone---

finds that punch really painful. ;3; "Fine, no kisses. Hugs will do?"

picks his plate up and throws it in the sink. "No kisses. Hugs are conditional and you will not sneak up on me in the study."

takes a peek at Hibari from the door way. He gives himself 5 or 10 minutes just watching the boy turn and rustle the sheets.

stands beside Dino, carrying a tray of miso soup. "You want to bring this in, Boss?"

But... he might...

It's alright. Just don't touch him or say stupid things.

hands the tray to Dino. "Go. Just leave it at the bedside, that's what I promised him."

looks down at the tray, a meager bowl of miso for Hibari.

quietly walks in, afraid to really cause a commotion since he doesn't want Hibari to have another attack. That really scared Dino earlier.

softly, "I'll leave your soup here Kyouya. Eat it before it gets cold."

....Sorry.

not moved from the little ball he's become on the bed.

Eh? OAO

if he said anything wrong! Why did he say sorry!?! OAO

Uhm... you did nothing wrong Kyouya. It's my fault this is happening to you so...

... get some rest and be better.

doesn't answer.

Oyasumi.

quietly walks away from Hibari.
