a/n: Byakuran is totally a plausible yandere character. Shut up. Also Lambo is saved from Byakuran's murderous devotion, because even super scary yanderes don't hurt annoying cow brats. They still have hearts, after all. Really big, really misplaced hearts in their chests... and a few stashed away in their basements. /shotshotshot

(This is the second dark piece I've done in one week. For no apparent reason. Someone please shoot me. Or make me watch My Little Pony or something, because this is getting ridiculous. D:)

"I love you, Tsunayoshi~"

.

.

Byakuran loved his Tsunayoshi, ever since they first met.

Excuse me, but you look kind of cold standing out here without an umbrella…

And Tsunayoshi loved him too. He just wouldn't admit it.

Ah, thank you. I was waiting for a friend to come, but I guess he's running late…

Because of his Guardians. Because of the lowly trash that didn't deserve him.

Would you like to have a cup of coffee sometime? I know a place downtown that serves great espresso.

Because they kept getting in the way and causing trouble. And Byakuran did not tolerate trouble.

I'd like that. Just let me clear it up with my Gua- er, friends. They gets kind of overprotective.

But it was okay. Because Tsunayoshi loved him, and they were easily taken care of.

So tell me more about these friends of yours.

His Tsunayoshi was really far too trusting, but then, that was why Byakuran loved him so much.

Oh, they're frightening at first, but they're really good people. You just have to get to know them...

Because he was innocent. And innocence tasted sweet, just like marshmallows.

And are you… involved with any of them?

It was really their fault all along for getting too close to what was his. Byakuran didn't share.

O-Of course not! They're my best friends, but I don't really like them like that.

But of course, Tsunayoshi was still innocent, and with innocence comes naiveté.

Same time next week, then?

But it was simply a matter of pruning thorns off a rose, in Byakuran's eyes.

Mmn. It's really fun taking with you, Byakuran!

And as weeks went by, Byakuran decided that he's rather talented at gardening.

Oh, you say your baseball friend is missing? That's rather unfortunate…

And if Tsunayoshi started to be foolish, miss them, well, Byakuran would always be there.

I-I just wish I knew what happened to him…

Because he loved Tsuna, and they were all each other needed.

It'll be okay. I'm sure they'll find him... eventually.

His poor, innocent Tsunayoshi just didn't know what was good for him, really. But Byakuran could protect him just fine.

Th-They found Yamamoto-kun. He was d-dead, in a phone booth outside of Kyoto. I'm really scared.

Those thorns could be pesky, but Byakuran didn't mind as much as he would have.

It's alright, Tsu-chan… I'll protect you.

After all, they say that every rose has its thorns, and Tsunayoshi was worth any spilt blood.

Gokudera! Why would you even say that? Byakuran isn't- he isn't like that. He wouldn't.

Besides, it was all too easy for Byakuran to enjoy his new hobby.

I'm sorry, did you say something Hayato? Perhaps you should have kept away from my Tsunayoshi, hm?

Snip, snip, snip. Byakuran smilled as one by one, his beautiful rose lost all of its pesky thorns.

R-Ryohei, wake up! Who did you say it was that did this? Wake up! Wake up, damn it! Just... wake up...

He leaned over and buried his nose into Tsuna's locks, sniffing the deep smell with a Cheshire grin as the boy let out an silent sob.

Rokudo Mukuro and his lot are gone now too? I wonder what could have happened... Don't cry, Tsunayoshi. Don't cry.

And perhaps Tsunayoshi misbehaved every once in a while, but Byakuran could forgive him. He loved him, after all.

B-Byakuran, I think I'm just going to g-go to the store, okay? We're out of milk...

Silly, silly Tsunayoshi. He was really just too pure for his own good.

Hm, Tsunayoshi? I didn't think you'd be back so soon... Kyouya stopped by for a visit, by the way.

But Byakuran loved him.

Oh, don't worry. It's easy to get blood stains out of the carpet. What brand of milk did you buy?

He always would. And he would always protect him, too.

Don't make that face at me. It'll freeze like that, you know.

Always and forever.

Oh Tsuna. I thought you'd know better than to try to run from me, but I suppose I haven't taught you enough yet. You see...

Because...

I don't share.

He knows that Tsunayoshi has loved him since they first met, too. He just needed time to remember.

"I lo-love you too, Byakuran."

Oh, joys abound. Sorry in advance for the nightmare fuel. ):

Review for Yandere!Byakuran? Because he loves you, you know. And he's really sorry if this scared you shitless. You love him too, right? Here, have a marshmallow... :)
