Black-chan: So...yeah, new story but seriously, I can't help it! Anyway, this is just a series of interconnected (or not) one-shots actually. Mostly, I'm trying to write pairings from cross-over and I figured KHR x KNB is a good start. Why? Ahem, well, it's because of *cough* TunaForDesert *cough*. Anyway, first up, Akashi x Tsuna~! Or Aka27! Also, I may or may not use prompts I read in the internet randomly.


1. Clumsy

Their first meeting was something akin to a shoujo manga where Tsuna got the role of the clumsy 'heroine'. The brunet would always look back in his memories of the two of them and blushed in embarrassment. It seemed like his clumsiness always made him bump into the red-haired boy one way or another.

Not that Akashi was complaining. In fact, he always chuckled at their memories.

2. First

Tsuna had never thought of himself as someone capable of making anyone fall for him. That was the role of his guardians, not him. That was why it surprised him when the red-haired fell for him after he had finally stopped having a crush to Kyoko. Akashi's confession was probably one of his many firsts in the world.

...and the basketball player stole many of his firsts.

3. Glance

The first thing that drew him in was the innocent honey-brown hues that stared at his narrowed crimson ones. There was something lurking in those eyes that he didn't realize that he had been staring for more than necessary. It made him slightly interested at the smaller boy in front of him but it was a small interest that faded after a few days.

Seeing those usually innocent glance turned into narrowed ones, though, made his interest backed up and increased drastically.

4. Boundary

Akashi hated how there were times when Tsuna would seem to distance himself from him. He knew that they hadn't known each other that much but he still felt upset seeing how close the brunet was to the silver-haired delinquent and black-haired baseball player and deemed them as his best friends. Even the black-haired prefect, dark-haired pervert and white-haired boxer seemed to be closer to him than Akashi.

He hated it. It always made him feel like the other was living in another world much different from his.

5. Green-eyed

Seeing Akashi and Kuroko together always made Tsuna feel weird inside. He saw the fondness and affection in their eyes that it left him feeling hurt and betrayed. He didn't know why though. They were all friends so he had no reason to feel this way.

And there was no way that Reborn was correct in saying that he was jealous because in the end, who was he jealous of?

6. Gunshot

It happened to fast for anyone to comprehend. One minute, they were talking with each other and the other minute, Akashi was pushing Tsuna away. His shoulder got from a stray gunshot and the two students fell on the ground with the red-haired boy breathing heavily from his injury.

It was no wonder that Tsuna didn't show any mercy to the people involved with the attack.

7. Falling

Maybe, it was his kindness or his strength. It might even be his strong glance that showed nothing but determination or that innocent look that anyone would find adorable. In the end, what really mattered was that he's falling. And falling quickly and hard by the looks of it. Question was, though, did he want to stop.

Somehow, it wasn't a hard decision to make at all.

8. Trust

The two of them never asked anything about each other's past. They could tell how uncomfortable both of them were about it that they never asked. They continued to grow closer despite their secrets and that was fine for them. Even without knowing, they trusted each other.

9. Friends

It was weird how their friends seemed to be getting along well. Akashi found it amusing how his previous teammates acted with Tsuna's friends. They were so obvious to their crushes that it was almost to watch. Everyone, except people receiving the affection, could see it.

Midorima couldn't keep a straight face every time he was talking to the cheerful Yamamoto and had never failed to give the other's daily Oha Asa horoscopes. Kise acted like an idiotic puppy at the bad-tempered Gokudera. Murasakibara tried to be more passionate about something other than sweets to impress the energetic Ryohei. Aomine acted like a tsundere to the pervert Mukuro. And Kuroko spent more time with the violent Hibari, expressing more emotions than usual.

Akashi chuckled in amusement every time but then again, his face turned blank at the thought of something the phantom player said.

"Akashi-kun, you can't really find amusement in this when your case is no different from us."

His crimson eyes looked at the oblivious brunet longingly. Kuroko could really be too blunt about the truth.

10. Space

"I'm sorry," the scene was awfully like a breakup one but the only difference was that he and the brunet were not going out. Still, it didn't make the emotions any better. "I can't be friends with you anymore, Akashi-kun."

11. Mine

Akashi had never wanted to show the other about his other personality that still buried inside of him, the one who's more possessive and willing to do anything to possess the other. Still, Tsuna ignoring him and breaking all their connections were pushing it.

He stared down at the wary brunet trapped between him and the wall and he stated in conviction, "If we're not friends anymore, then it's fine to claim you mine."

Akashi pressed his lip on the frozen teen.

12. Unfair

He knew that there was nothing stopping his feelings anymore now that he realized them. He wished that he never found out because he knew that this love wouldn't be fulfilled no matter how he wished for it. There were just too many things to consider. He didn't even need to make excuses and quitting the mafia wasn't an option anymore.

But all those thoughts and worries disappeared at the mere touch of their lips. It was unfair, wasn't it?

13. Advice

"You should just continue with your actions," Akashi forced himself to relax at the strange-looking baby, who spoke up suddenly after the brunet left crying. He didn't know why he was tense in the first place but this was only a baby. "Dame-Tsuna is an idiot. He's probably thinking that you two wouldn't work together because of many things so you should show him how serious you are until he finally believes you."

14. Simple

Tsuna promised himself that he would protect everyone important to him but it's difficult to protect someone, who wanted to protect him than be protected by him. It was even harder when the person was the one he loved.

"Then, why don't you just let it go, Dame-Tsuna?" Reborn asked it like it was something easy when it wasn't at all.

"I can't do that! I can't drag Akashi-kun into the mafia! And I can't be with Akashi-kun! For one thing, he's a civilian and as the Decimo, I need to have heirs, right?" he cried in defeat. "It's impossible!"

He got hit by the Leon-hammer.

"That isn't your choice to make and don't make those excuses. Just answer the simply question, Dame-Tsuna... Do you want to be with him? Do you love him?"

It was that easy, wasn't it?

15. Kiss

"Yes, I love you, Akashi-kun."

It wasn't their first kiss but it was the kiss that promised them their future together...a kiss that was filled with passion and love. This love was something they couldn't give up no matter what obstacles they encountered.


Black-chan: Did you guys saw those hinted pairings? Ugh, don't ask much. I just thought that they might work, okay? (Though, I don't know about the Aomine x Mukuro or Ryohei x Murasakibara pairing, actually...) Anyway, so yeah Aka27 might be a thing for me because of the one-shot I've read about them... Hope you guys enjoy this!
