Family Tutor: The Liar

After the battle, I decided to make 18 suffer. Hibari BG.

Revised version. Originally written under the MJ name “Being a Lowlife Isn't Easy.”

The last time I saw Kyoya Hibari was at exactly eleven o'clock on March 31. He accused me of deceiving him over and over, then broke up with me in his usual cold manner. All I could do was agree. If I cried and got the same result, I'd only lose more face. Once he'd made up his mind, nothing could change it.

The next day was April 1. It wasn't a special day to me. My lies had become so routine that everyone in the Vongola was used to them. My mission was in Namimori, Japan. I thought it was just an amusing coincidence. How could I have known I'd die there? Even gravely wounded, I still remembered to leave Namimori, because I couldn't break the rules on his turf. When I finally walked out of that familiar place, I collapsed, uselessly, at last. As I lay dying, I still wondered whether, if Kyoya Hibari heard I was dead, he'd say, “Noboru, how come you fooled me again?”

The truth is, I agreed to the breakup without a fuss because we'd known each other for five years, yet Kyoya Hibari had always clung to his pride. He'd never once said “I love you,” not even as a lie. And in all those five years, the words I'd said most sincerely to him were “I love you.” The only thing Kyoya Hibari ever remembered about me was that I was a liar.

If one day I stopped lying, perhaps he wouldn't recognize me anymore.

The ridiculous thing is that right up until April Fool's Day, I still thought I'd become the Vongola's Cloud Guardian's wife.

*I locked the story before because I wanted to rewrite it again. There were still a lot of things that didn't hold together, and I couldn't bring myself to write. It also felt so literary... But I really don't have the time or energy. TAT

I'm truly sorry. I hope I can write it someday. QAQ

The basic premise will stay the same.
