Author's Notes: It's been a long time since I've written something, and it's sad enough that I'm currently lacking inspiration. Good thing there are lots of prompts in LJ to help me through my slump. This fanfiction would be some sort of a collection of oneshots/ficlets/drabbles based from the prompts at 64damn_prompts at LJ. You will know the theme at the end of the story so make sure you read all the way. Please read and review! Thanks!

He never thought that the stupid woman could be this desperate.

Sure, she had been wooing the Tenth with her desperate attempts at being cute and helpful since they were in middle school, but it never crossed his mind that her imagination could handle this kind of desperation.

"I-I lo-love you..."

She stood in front of him -- her face flushed, her long brown hair flowing rather elegantly on her back, and her smaller frame fidgeting.

"Che! That was beyond crappy, stupid woman!"

Amusement was tingling in his veins, nevertheless, he maintained his cold facade. His heavy scowl was equaled with her frustrated ones.

"Hahi! That's not what Tsuna-san would answer!"

"Then, what do you want me to say, Miura? That I love you too?!"

She smiled. "Probably. I can definitely see Tsuna-san accepting my confession of love!"

Earlier that day, Gokudera was cornered by Haru, asking for help. She even used the Tenth's name to make him agree -- only to find out that she was just pulling on his weakness and that she was just plain desperate.

Apparently, Haru plans to confess to Tsuna when they get back to Namimori for the Christmas break. And she didn't want to screw up so she asked his help to be her temporary Tsuna.

"Yeah, right." He said with a hint of sarcasm. Seriously, the stupid woman cannot comprehend that the Tenth is head-over-heels in love with Sasagawa Kyoko. She even has the guts to confess! What the hell!

"Let's try it again." Haru cleared her throat. "Tsuna-san... I..."

"I love you!"

There was a long pause. And a stinging slap landing on Gokudera's arm.

"Ouch--"

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY YOU LOVE ME TOO!"

Damn it... better get this over with. "I love you too, Haru!"

Gokudera thought that he said that too loudly -- almost cheery -- that he saw Haru dangerously leaning forward to him with a happy smile on her face.

"What do you think you're doing, stupid woman?!"

But even that came out weakly than how it was supposed to.

Haru Miura's eyes were half-closed and her glistening pink lips were half-parted -- anticipating, inviting.

Well, shit! She's leaning in for a fucking kiss! Damn! He gulped. He is not inexperienced in this department, however, giving in with this sudden invitation, especially coming from Haru, made him cringe in outright declination.

He gripped each of Haru's arms and pushed her a good arm's length away from him.

"Ha-hahi?" Haru's dumbfounded gaze confirmed Gokudera's assumptions: she is delusional and she even thought that he was the Tenth.

Gokudera grimaced. It's not like he didn't like women -- it's just that it's Haru Miura. And that didn't go well with him -- at least, that's what he keeps telling himself.

"What the hell, woman!" He pushed her harshly away from him, and walked away grumpily.

"B-but Gokudera-san!"

He heard her call after him and this made him falter in his heavy steps. However, when his face started heating up again for reasons he didn't know, he quickened his steps and muttered a few curses.

What the hell are you doing to me, stupid woman?
