Notes: another weird gen fic. We're moving through the rest of my yet-unposted drabbles pretty fast now that I've taken to posting two...but I rather liked this one, so it gets its own post.

There comes a little shuffle-step outside of the Student Council door. Kusakabe looks up from where he's been looking over the latest documents to come in, chewing on the end of his customary twig, wondering who it might be. Then the door creaks open, and slowly brown spikes come into view first, followed by wide brown eyes and timid fingers around the door. Seeing only Kusakabe at the coffee table, the intruder relaxes, shuffling in with a braver "I'm coming in", shutting the door behind him.
He bobs his head like a pigeon, Kusakabe thinks to himself, it's kind of cute. He gives an amused sort of nod back, gestures to the hot water and tea bags on the table to the left. Sawada immediately holds up his hands as if pulling up some sort of flimsy defense, before he remembers it isn't Hibari he's talking to. Then he makes his way over to the table, fills a cup, dabs the tea bag in a couple of times before sipping.
"Did you come here to see Hibari?," Kusakabe begins. His eyes fall to the clock; Hibari will be back in ten minutes, which means Sawada needs to be back in class before then if he doesn't want to be escorted to the nurse's office for ditching.
"Just needed to ask him something." It's important, or else I wouldn't have come here by myself.
"The school's repairing well." I don't know what you got him involved into but it seems dangerous, care to enlighten me?
Sawada gives an embarrassed shake of his head. "Is Hibari-san alright?" It's best if you didn't know.
Kusakabe "hmph"s in amusement. "That's all you came here to ask?" He's alright, you know how he is.
The boy - scruffy and mousy-haired, shifting from one foot to the other - smiles in response. Silence falls.
Kusakabe sets down his documents with a sigh, leaning back on the couch. "You'd best get to class." I'll tell him to go find you.
Immediately the other brightens. Kusakabe watches as he downs the rest of his tea in one gulp, choking at the heat and rubbing his watery eyes before he gives another nod-bow and patters out of the room. The door shuts behind him with the barest of clicks, and then the footsteps are pattering away. Silence returns, broken only by birdsong and the flapping of paperwork. Hibari returns from his nap even quieter than he usually is; Kusakabe looks up in surprise only when he hears the other sliding windows open to let in more of the breeze, and his little yellow bird. It flutters in, begins to sing the Namimori anthem. Hibari absently scratches the top of its head with one finger.
"Welcome back," Kusakabe offers. "Sawada was here."
Hibari nods once, sits at his desk and pillows his arms into his hands. In another minute he is asleep, again.
Ugh, I write Hibari so badly. Of course he doesn't do anything here, but in the fics I've done before Hibari's never come out right... maybe he just doesn't appeal to me as much as the Vongola Three? Speaking of I should write a 802759 fic soon, I seriously feel like it. wait until post-finals ansibs or you'll die a horrible death.
Of course I have to write the 398059 fic first (XD. Everybody uses S for Squalo, I think I'm the only one who actually uses his number 39). That's going to take a while though, and I have to be in the mood for pr0n to write it. Which I'm not, currently - I just want finals week to be over already so I can start on my Tsubaki cosplay I really should have done Death the Kid instead cuz I'm too short to be Tsubaki, but...I would have died in that costume, it's so hot here during the summer. *sigh* I haven't even made the costume yet and already I feel very fail about it.
