Hi…! This is my first time posting my story here in fanfiction. So, uh… Bear with me for awhile. I hope ya guys like it. I tried my best in writing thisJ
There's a character that I just made up.
Enjoy!
\(_)/
Gokudera remembered the first time someone confessed to him. It was Haru. The silly and klutz girl way back in middle school. He doesn't like her, of course. She's well… She's not really her type. So, of course without a second thought he rejected her. It wasn't a big deal anyway.
When he went to high school the number of girls who confesses to him grew larger. Well, who wouldn't like him anyway? He's tall, with creamy white skin and beautiful green eyes. He's also smart. He has always been in the honor roll since grade school.
But there's always been one person who stayed beside him.
It was Yamamoto Takeshi.
Yamamoto has always been with him. Always. The time when he rejected Haru, he was there. The time when he got in to the honor roll, he was there. The time when his parents divorced, he was there.
And the time when the bullies bullied him during middle school
Yamamoto was there…
To protect him.
He has always been bullied during grade school until middle school. But Yamamoto, his very best friend, always protects him. Yamamoto would always fight against bullies so that he wouldn't get hurt. While Yamamoto fights with the bullies he just sits in the corner and cries. He has no choice but to watch Yamamoto get hurt but at the end of the day Yamamoto would sent the bullies away. He would always help Gokudera up with a smile on his bruise face.
And they would always go home together.
But now that they were in high school things get a little bit messier already. Yamamoto has joined the baseball team. And Gokudera has no choice but to be alone a little bit sometimes.
. . . . .
"Hey-uh… Yamamoto-san," Gokudera began. "Hm?" Yamamoto asks looking up from his lunch. "Do you wanna hang-out this Friday?" Gokudera says as he puts down his chopsticks. Yamamoto thought for awhile. "S-Sorry, Gokudera. But I had baseball practice this coming Friday. I hope you understand…" he says with a gloomy look. Gokudera's shoulder slumps in disappointment. This past few weeks Yamamoto has always been busy with baseball. Baseball, baseball, baseball. Every time Gokudera asks him to hang-out he always declines. "Yeah, yeah, don't worry I understand," he says trying to sound cheery.
After lunch, Gokudera opened his locker. He wasn't surprise to see a letter fell down when he opened the door. Yamamoto pressed his back against a locker. He raised an eyebrow and smiled as he eyed the letter. "Another confession, eh?" He chuckled. Gokudera rolled his eyes and picked up the letter. "This is thrice in five days. When will they ever stop?" He scoffed and flip the letter open. He rolled his eyes again and stuffs the letter to his locker. "So?" Yamamoto asks as he looks at Gokudera in amusement. "It was a damn confession from a girl in the first year," Gokudera says as he took out his books and slam his locker shut. "They're so annoying…" he breathes. "And weird." He added.
"You're the one who's weird," Yamamoto says. "Why me?" Gokudera asks as he faces Yamamoto. "Come on… Let's face it, Dera. A lot of girls are already going crazy at you. Yet, you didn't choose even just one of them? What's wrong with you?" Yamamoto asks as they began walking down the hallway. Gokudera sighs. "That's not of your business, Yamamoto," he says. "Or… are you waiting for a guy to confess to you?" Yamamoto says mischievously. Gokudera's eyes widened and he blush a little bit. "Oh, shut up!" He hissed and nudges his elbow at Yamamoto's ribs playfully. "Wait! Am I right?" Yamamoto asks as he scooted closer to Gokudera. Gokudera rolled his eyes. "Not even a bit, Yamamoto. It's just that…" he says his voice trailed off. He looks at Yamamoto. He saw that Yamamoto is waiting for his answer. "It's just that… well, I think I'm not ready to have a… you know, to have a girlfriend," Gokudera replies. Yamamoto sighs and smiled at him. "That's up to you. Come on, let's get to class." He says and puts his arm around Gokudera's shoulders.
Gokudera gulps as he looks at Yamamoto's arm.
. . . . . .
Gokudera sighs and closes the book he was reading. He puts down his glasses and sighs again.
Or… are you waiting for a guy to confess to you?
Yamamoto's voice echoes inside his head. He doesn't really know what he's going to do. It all started during middle school that Gokudera doesn't really have a thing for girls. Well, he likes girls but in a different way. He just sees them as friends or companions. That's the reason why he doesn't want a girlfriend.
While, on the other hand, Gokudera sees Yamamoto in a different pace. He sees Yamamoto more than a friend. Every time Yamamoto puts his arms around his shoulders his heart beats faster. Every time their skin touches each other he felt like he was being electrified. Or when he hears Yamamoto laughs it's like the most beautiful melody he has ever heard.
He concludes that maybe, just maybe… he's in love with Yamamoto.
He always felt jealous when he sees Yamamoto talking to a girl even though he knows it was just a friendly talk. It angers him when he saw some of Yamamoto's teammates touch him although he knows that it was only a playful touch. He knows he doesn't have the rights to be jealous of Yamamoto because he doesn't own him.
Gokudera looks out his window and hugs his knees tightly. He doesn't even know if he's gay or not. All he wants is to be with Yamamoto. Yamamoto would probably laugh at him when he knows that he likes him. Or worst…
Yamamoto would hate him. And their friendship will be broken only because of his selfishness.
What will I do? Gokudera asks himself.
. . . . .
It was Monday morning and Gokudera was on his way to school. "Gokudera!" He hears a familiar voice. "Wait up!" He turns his back and saw Yamamoto jogging towards him. He looks down as he waits for Yamamoto catch up to him. "Morning!" Yamamoto says cheerily. "G-Good morning, too," Gokudera mumbles. Gokudera was silent as they walk towards Namimori High. "Hey, Gokudera-san, you okay? You seem down…" Yamamoto says worriedly. Gokudera looks up. He's worried? He thought. He shakes his head quickly. "I-I'm fine! No need to worry!" He says with a fake laugh. "You sure?" Yamamoto asks. Gokudera nodded. "I just got a little bit of hangover… for studying last night," he lied. He didn't study at all. He's mind was only focused on Yamamoto and Yamamoto alone. "Oh, is that so? Don't you think you're pushing yourself too far?" Yamamoto says. "Not at all. I-I just like to study, that's all…" Gokudera says with a weak smile. Yamamoto smiled at him. "Don't worry you'll be on the honor roll again, Einstein!" Yamamoto says and ruffles Gokudera's hair. "Argh! You ruined my hair!" Gokudera complained. Yamamoto just laughs at him. Deep inside Gokudera was smiling to himself.
After biology class Gokudera and Yamamoto was walking together when they were greeted by a tall, slim, beautiful girl. "Ummm… A-Are you Yamamoto-san?" She asks in her cute tiny voice. Gokudera and Yamamoto look at each other and blink a few times. "Yes, that's me," Yamamoto says. The girl looked up and faces Yamamoto. Damn, she's pretty… Gokudera thought. She has a shoulder length blond hair, a beautiful turquoise eyes and a perfect nose. The girl smiled revealing her perfect white teeth. "That's good. Ummm… Here it's for you. P-Please accept it," she says as she handed Yamamoto a medium size box. Yamamoto looks at the box and accepted it. "Oh, uh-thanks," he says with a smile. Gokudera saw the girl blush and he narrowed his eyes at her. Yamamoto opens the box. "Cream puffs? Wow, did you make them?" Yamamoto asks. The girl's smile widened and she nodded. "M-My name is Sakamoto Haruko from class 3-2," she says as she stretches out her hand. Yamamoto closes the box and shook her hand. "You're in the swimming club, right?" He asks. This idiot knows her? Gokudera thought as he eyed Yamamoto and Haruko's hands. Haruko gasps. "You know me?" She asks. "Of course, you're really popular around here," Yamamoto says with a smile. "Especially… with the guys," Yamamoto added in a low voice and he snickered. Haruko giggled as she looks down the floor. Gokudera can't take it anymore. The way Haruko looks at Yamamoto makes him want to punch her. And the way she blushes makes him want to put all the cream puffs in her mouth. "Really? I'm flattered," she says with a smile. "Y-Yamamoto-san! We still have a class do we? Come on, or else will be late," Gokudera says loudly looking at Haruko. "Oh, yeah, right!" Yamamoto chuckled. "You're Gokudera Hayato, right?" Haruko says snapping her fingers.
What the hell. Gokudera thought.
"Y-Yeah," he answers. "You look good in personal! Some of my friends have a crush on you," Haruko says in a cute tone. "Wow. Thanks. Can we go now?" Gokudera says through his teeth. "Bye, Haruko-san! Nice to meet ya and oh, for the cream puffs, too!" Yamamoto says cheerily and after that Gokudera dragged him going to their next class.
They entered chemistry class. Class wasn't even starting yet and their teacher is not there also. "Neh, class isn't even starting yet. We could've chat with Haruko-san for a little while," Yamamoto says a bit disappointed. He opened the box of cream puffs and put one on his mouth. "Mmmm…" he says as the cream puff melt on his tongue. Gokudera eyed him and rolled his eyes. "Want some, Gokudera-san? They're good," Yamamoto says as he put another cream puff on his mouth. "Hn," Gokudera grunted and he faces the board. "Come on, I know you want one," Yamamoto says playfully. He picks a cream puff and let it touch Gokudera's lips. "No, I don't want to," Gokudera says. "Come on! Just one little cream puff!" Yamamoto says with a low laugh. He pushes the cream puff further. Gokudera was already pissed. "I said I don't want to!" He scowled. Yamamoto blinks a few times. He put the cream puff back on the box and closed its lid. "Gokudera-san, I-I'm sorry. If only I wasn't pestering like a kid," Yamamoto apologizes. Gokudera just rolled his green eyes and sighs ignoring Yamamoto.
. . . . .
When it was lunch time, "Gokudera-san, I'm sorry, again," Yamamoto says as he trotted behind Gokudera. Gokudera can't take it anymore. Yamamoto has been apologizing to him the whole morning. He stopped and faces Yamamoto. Yamamoto also stopped as he looks at Gokudera. Gokudera blushes, he shifted his gaze to the side and avoid Yamamoto's eyes. "I'm s-sorry, too. For getting pissed off easily," Gokudera says. Yamamoto smiles, "Everything's fine now, right? Let's go get some lunch, then." He says. The truth is Gokudera wasn't angry at Yamamoto for giving him a cream puff. What pissed him off was that Yamamoto was enjoying the cream puffs that the stupid Haruko gave him.
Earlier he was really pissed off at Haruko at the same time jealous of her. He was mad at her because she always flutters her long lashes and blushes every time Yamamoto says something to her. If he couldn't control his temper he would've dragged Haruko away using her hair. He was also jealous of her because she could show Yamamoto what she feels freely. She didn't have to think about the consequences or the factors of confessing to him since she's a girl. Unlike him, if he confesses to Yamamoto he would surely be laugh at.
It was their last period when Yamamoto approached him. He was cleaning his desk and he looked up when he saw Yamamoto standing beside his desk. "Ummm… I'm really sorry I can't walk home with you today, Gokudera. We still have practice you know," he says. Gokudera wrinkled his nose. Expected that. He thought as he close his bag.
"Don't worry I'm also going to the library today to do some research," he says with a fake smile. "Want me to go with you?" Yamamoto asks. Gokudera almost said yes. His heart skips a beat when he heard that. But he shook his head slowly. "No need to," he declines. "Just go to your practice and good luck," he smiles. Yamamoto nodded in approval. "Okay, bye. See ya tomorrow." Yamamoto says as he grabbed his gym bag. Then, he jogs going to the exit. Gokudera sighs as he rested his cheeks on his palm.
There were still a few students left on their classroom especially the ones in charge of the cleaning duty that day. This is getting worst. He really wants to tell Yamamoto how he feels. Sometimes, he has the courage but when he thinks of the other possibilities that will go on his courage sinks back in. He wants to hug Yamamoto so much. He wants to kiss Yamamoto's lips. He wants to hold Yamamoto's hands.
But he can't.
He put on his sling bag and exited the room silently.
Gokudera was walking deep in thought when he heard a familiar laugh as he pass by the field. He looked to his side and saw Haruko and Yamamoto talking to each other near the water fountain. He saw Haruko wearing the varsity cheerleading uniform of Namimori High. Her long legs were exposed to the public with white sneakers that matches her red and white cheerleading uniform. Gokudera's eyes narrowed when he saw how Haruko looked at Yamamoto. That bitch… He clenched his teeth as he stared at the tall blond. He held the strap of his sling bag tightly. "So, what happens next?" He hears Yamamoto says happily. His eyes fixated on the black haired teen. Haruko signaled Yamamoto and Yamamoto leans closer. No! Yamamoto, no! He bit his lower lip. Haruko whispered something to Yamamoto and they burst out laughing. His eyes suddenly became sad as he looks at Yamamoto laugh. He likes Yamamoto's laugh so much. It was like a sun whenever he's on a bad mood. He can't help but smile when he hears Yamamoto laugh. But this time he didn't smile. He scowled as he looks at the two teens chattering together. They look so… compatible. He thought sadly. He felt his heart twinge. Haruko is a beautiful girl while Yamamoto is a great guy. They're… perfect. He thought as he walk away going towards the library. He bumps on someone, "S-Sorry!" He apologizes as he looks down the floor. "Watch it!" The guy he bumped with shouted at him. Gokudera sighs and continues walking.
While he was at the library he got the materials he needed and settle on a corner. He flips the pages of the book he's reading yet nothing goes inside his head. She's not only on the swimming but she's a cheerleader, too? What else? Don't tell me she's also on the dance club or the glee club? He thought as he flips the pages of the book. After while, he gave up and close the book. He wasn't learning anything at all. He sighs and let his head rest on the table. He saw a couple giggling on the corner of another table. They look perfect… Just like Yamamoto and Haruko, so… compatible. He thought as he eyed the couple. A girl and a boy couple look cute and normal. While, a boy and a boy couple? He thought. But he began to snicker at his own thoughts. What the hell? It looks uncharacteristic and weird.
He looks away from the couple and shifted his gaze on the shelf of books.
What am I going to do? He thought.
Gokudera decides to ignore Haruko for awhile. Since it's not like she's a competition or anything. Well, okay she is a little. He makes up his mind not tell Yamamoto or anybody about what he feels. Maybe it's best to keep it inside rather than to break his own heart.
It's hard to take risk after all.
He just needs to be ignorant about what's happening although it'll be painful. Even though he can't confess to Yamamoto as long as they're friends then everything will be alright, right?
. . . . .
As the weeks passed by Gokudera is getting really pissed at Haruko. Sometimes, Yamamoto invites her to join lunch with them. Yamamoto always asks him if it's okay with him. And a grumbled yes would always come out of his lips. He learned that Haruko is not only the school's swimmer and a co-captain of Namimori's cheering squad but she works as a part-time model.
And Gokudera notices that Haruko and Yamamoto talks a lot. They have a lot in common. Gokudera also learns that Haruko is a big fan of baseball which made Yamamoto more attached to her. They always talk when Yamamoto practices baseball in the afternoon since the cheering squad also practices in the field. There was even a time when Gokudera saw Haruko gave a bottle of water to Yamamoto. But what really pissed Gokudera most is that Yamamoto always laughs when he's with Haruko.
Gokudera was cleaning his locker when, "hey," someone says. He looks to his left and saw Yamamoto smiling widely at him. His heart began to beat faster as he smiled back at him. "Wanna hang-out? Baseball practice is kind of canceled today," Yamamoto says. Gokudera felt like his heart is going to burst. Yamamoto chose to hang-out with him instead of that stupid Haruko? He still thinks of me. Gokudera smiled to himself. Yamamoto saw that Gokudera is spacing out. "Oi, I'm asking you," he says as he punch Gokudera's arm lightly. "S-Sure!" Gokudera answers as he quickly put his books inside his locker and slammed the door shut. Before they could even walk a step someone called Yamamoto's name. "Yamamoto-san!"
Gokudera turned his back and narrowed his eyes as he saw Haruko running towards them. "Hey!" Haruko says breathlessly as she approaches them. Look what the cat dragged in? Gokudera thought as he clenches his teeth. "Oh, Haruko-san, hi!" Yamamoto says cheerily. "Hi," Gokudera greeted lowly. "Neh, Yamamoto-san, I heard that baseball practice was canceled today and so was cheerleading, too. Do you have something to do this afternoon?" Haruko says. Gokudera felt like there was smoke coming out of his nose. "I'm sorry, Haruko-san. But, I'll hang-out with Gokudera today. You know, boy hang-outs," Yamamoto explains. Gokudera smiled. Serves you right, idiot. He thought. Haruko frowned slightly but she manages to smile. "It's fine, have fun the both of you," she says a bit disappointed. "Thanks," Yamamoto says. Haruko glances at Gokudera emotionless and shifted her gaze at Yamamoto. She smiled at him for the last time and walks away from them.
"Wanna hang-out in that arcade center?" Yamamoto offers as he puts his hand around Gokudera's shoulders. Gokudera nodded. "And let's grab some snacks too," Gokudera says. "Sure," Yamamoto says with a smile as he looks at Gokudera. Gokudera looked at the floor as they continue to walk as he felt himself blush.
At last, I can be with him. He thought happily. He smiled to himself as they continue walking.
After while, they arrive at the arcade center. They play and play all afternoon. Gokudera was really having fun being with Yamamoto. He felt treasured and special when Yamamoto chose him over Haruko. "Gokudera," Yamamoto says. "Yeah?" Gokudera says carelessly as he shoots the ball in the hoop. He growled when the ball didn't go in. "I'm sorry, ya know?" Yamamoto says as he shoots the ball in the hoop. Before Gokudera could shoot another ball in the hoop he was stun on what he had heard. "W-Why?" He asks confuse. He looks at Yamamoto worriedly. Then, a buzzer rang signaling both boys that they're time's up. Yamamoto shoots the ball and smile when the ball goes inside the hoop swiftly. Gokudera put the ball back not caring about the time he wasted. "For not hanging out like we used to," Yamamoto says as he puts on his backpack. Gokudera rolled his eyes. "Shut up! It's not like we'll be separated or anything!" He laughs. Yamamoto nods in agreement. "I know," he says and smiles at Gokudera. "You don't need to be sorry. I know how much you love baseball. It's nothing," Gokudera says with a reassuring smile.
. . . . .
It was that one afternoon that Gokudera didn't expect to happen to him. He was walking home alone because Yamamoto still has baseball practice. He was walking slowly when he passed by the field, he saw Yamamoto and Haruko talking in to a corner. He hid in some bushes to get a better view of the two teens. He saw that Haruko is explaining something to Yamamoto and Yamamoto was listening intently. Then, to his surprise he saw Yamamoto ruffles Haruko's hair and hug her. Haruko also return the hug by wrapping her slender arms around Yamamoto's broad shoulders and buried her face at Yamamoto's shirt. She seems to be crying. Yamamoto raises his left hand and touch Haruko's blond locks.
Gokudera's eyes widened at the sight he was watching. He can't believe it. A lot of questions filled his mind. Are they going out? Are they dating? Are they in a relationship? He thought as he was trying to absorb what was happening. He felt a pang in his heart as he watches the two teens. He continues to watch until the two stopped hugging. He watch as Yamamoto said something to Haruko and she nodded and smiled a little. Haruko wiped his eyes using the back of her hand. Gokudera clench his fist and gulps as he saw Yamamoto grabbed Haruko's right hand and they walk together going to the other side of the field where they practice.
There! That's the first chapter! I know it's not really the best. I'm planning of only making it about 2 or 3 chapters. Also, I already revised it. If there are still a few grammars that are wrong then, I'm so sorry. I'm not perfect X3.
So… shall I still continue?
Please review it'll give me more strength in writing the next chapter.
P.S. I know I sound like an idiot asking this but… What does OOC and AU mean?
;3THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!3
