Drabble response to this @thehandworld
Hibari wasn't a guy for wasted time. He knew what they'd be up against if he let anyone that close to him. Who better than someone strong to have in his life? Who better than the second in command in their family?
This was just a confession of attraction to the Storm guardian, as Hibari was anything but blind and could see suitors approaching Gokudera left and right. Lest they wanted to face the wrath of one pissed off skylark, they were better to back off, Hibari wasn't the type to share someone he had his eyes on.
However, he knew what this meant for someone like Gokudera who had to fight for the position he had, whereas Hibari left himself to be bound to nothing and restricted by no one, the aloof and ever drifting cloud that remained untouchable.
But if two people wanted something, they could fight for it, couldn't they? That's where the problem lies, their ranks could cause an issue and if the herbivore they both served deemed office romances out of the picture, they couldn't do anything about it. He wouldn't crush that dream for the Storm and had been fully prepared for rejection. However, when Gokudera asked for his opinion on the matter, Hibari was as always, brutally honest. "If I didn't feel the same, I would never have approached you. When I go after something I already know damn well it's what I wanted." He moved closer, bridging the gap between them. A hand that had seen far more bloodshed than he cared to admit, reached for the man before him, placing his hand over the other's heart.
"Unless you're too afraid to try."
Hibari would wait for an answer, but a man could only wait so long. If anything were to happen between them, it was on Gokudera now.
