Hey! This is the first KHR fanfic I'm posting and it's a birthday fic for Yamamoto! Yay! I wrote it all in a much too short time and haven't really had time to work with it as much as I would have wanted to, but I really wanted to actually post it on the right day, so yeah (where I am, it's still the 24th! For another half hour or so...). Please excuse any strange grammar or spelling mistakes and just enjoy the story! (It's pretty short)

Title: The perfect present

Pairing: 8059 (YamamotoxGokudera)

Summary: It's Yamamotos birthday and there will be a party held to celebrate him. But can Gokudera find a suitable present? (Takes place after they've returned from the future)

Warnings: Nothing that I can think of... maybe some ooc, I don't know (rated T, because of some kissing)

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, I'm just playing around with the poor characters a little...

Chapter 1– Present for an idiot

Gokudera was walking home from school feeling very pissed. More than usual that is. Why he was pissed? Yamamoto the baseball-freak of course.

It all started that afternoon when school ended. Yamamoto had baseball practice so it was just Gokudera and Tsuna walking home together. Of course, Gokudera was more than a little happy at this and spent the whole time talking about their future plans for the Vongola, and when they reached Tsunas house, Gokudera was in the middle of explaining why Yamamoto should be fired. At that point however, Tsuna stopped him.

"Um, Gokudera-kun, speaking of Yamamoto..."

"What about him?"

"Um, well, tomorrow is his birthday and we're going to hold a party to celebrate him at my house after school is over"

"Oh"

Gokudera didn't like the sound of this.

"And...um, I know you don't get along with him very well, but... do you think you could come anyway? You don't have to stay very long or buy him an expensive present, but if you could get him something it would be nice..."

For a moment, Gokudera was completely stunned. The tenth wanted him to come to a party for the baseball-freak and to get a present for him? What was he supposed to do?! He hated the baseball-freak and didn't give a damn about his birthday, but at the same time he couldn't turn down a direct request from the tenth. So he just put on a fake smile and swallowed the anger as he answered.

"Sure I'll be there!"

"Really? Great! Well, I'll see you tomorrow then"

Tsuna looked relieved and happy as he waved at Gokudera before entering the house and, of course, the tenth's happiness made Gokudera happy too. But not happy enough, as it turned out, because as soon as Tsunas house was out of sight, anger boiled up inside him again.

Now his whole day was ruined just because he had to find a suitable present for the idiot.

Great.

What do you give to an idiot anyway? Something baseball-related would be obvious and easy, but seeing as Gokudera hated baseball himself and had no intention of encouraging Yamamotos interest in it, that was out of the question.

So then what? Despite knowing the idiot for quite a while now, the only two things Gokudera associated with Yamamoto were baseball and sushi.

So in the end, Gokudera found himself aimlessly wandering around shops, with no clue what to buy, getting more and more pissed by the second over the fact that he had to find a present in the first place

It was then that he passed a jewellery store. He only glanced at the stuff in the window, not really looking, when suddenly something caught his attention. Moving closer, Gokudera found himself looking at the perfect present for Yamamoto. Noting the price tag, Gokudera realised that said present was fairly expensive and that he hadn't planned on spending too much money on this, but it was just so perfect. Also, Gokudera was sick of going through stores and he was starting to feel hungry.

Making up his mind, Gokudera entered the store and came out a few minutes later feeling, not only a little less pissed, but actually rather pleased with himself for finding such a great present. Of course, it was much too expensive to give to an idiot, but Gokudera thought that after everything Yamamoto had done to ensure Tsunas safety, and all the battles he'd fought, that maybe he deserved something extra. And maybe, Gokudera didn't really want him to get fired, but just said so to keep up the image of I-hate-Yamamoto-and-want-him-dead. Because even though Yamamoto still got on his nerves a lot, Gokudera had been forced to acknowledge his strength and realise that he was a valuable asset to the family.

In which case, it was a good present, and Gokudera found himself almost looking forward to the party. But then he scolded himself and went to find a good restaurant, pushing all such thoughts to the back of his mind.

The present was kept safely in his inside pocket.

I bet you're all wondering what the present is... well read the next chapter to find out!
