The wind brushed against the window of the Sawada residence one early morning.

Usually, something small like that wouldn't wake up the boy, but his eyes slowly opened. Even at this hour, Reborn was still asleep, and without hearing any noise in the kitchen, to his guess, his mother as well.

Tusna stretched his arms up with a yawn, careful not to wake up the sleeping baby that slept soundly in his room. He moved the covers off of him and walked downstairs in his pajama pants. Silently he closed the door and descended down the stairs into the kitchen.

The refrigerator light that clicked on when he opened it was the first light that he had seen since he woke up. He had glanced out the window before he had gotten out of bed, and it was either storming very badly, or before dawn, because the sun wasn't showing at all. His semi-asleep hand reached into the refrigerator and rummaged a bit before picking up the container of orange juice on the shelf. Once he finished pouring the orange juice and putting it back, he leaned against his counter and proceeded to finish the drink.

A glance at the calendar on the refrigerator, had reminded him that today was the day that he had promised Haru and Lambo that he would take them to the amusement park. He wondered how it would turn out, but considering how harsh he was to them, this seemed like a pretty easy payment.

His heart stung at the memory of the girl crying all alone because of him. More than guilt that swallowed his heart, it was more that he was mad at himself for making her cry like that. He wanted to see her.

Haru was definitely a strange girl, but she was a good girl. She had been with him for a very long time, and he had come to accept her, and rely upon her for certain cases. It didn't bother him that much to talk about his mafia life in front of her compared to Kyoko, because she didn't ask that many questions. But, was he just taking advantage of her like she had said to him?

Tsuna shook his head. He turned on the water and rinsed the glass he used, grabbed a small towel, and started the process of drying the glass.

"Thinking of Haru?"

The sudden voice made Tsuna jump and almost loose grip of the glass in his hand. "Reborn!" he yelled quietly, conscious that his mother was still asleep. "Don't scare me like that, Reborn!"

Reborn jumped on the counter next to Tsuna. "Hey, Tsuna, what do you think of Haru?"

Tsuna could feel the blood rush to his face at the question. It was obvious he liked Kyoko, but as of lately he couldn't get the girl out of his mind. "...A friend?"

"Wrong answer." Reborn jumped. He extended out his leg and landed it hard on Tsuna's face, sending him flying to the floor.

.

It was noon, the designated time the Tsuna and Haru decided they would meet. Of course, Tsuna already had Lambo with him. Getting him to come alone without I-pin was very hard. He felt guilty after seeing the saddened face of the small, big-headed girl.

"Tsuna-san! Good Afternoon. Lambo-kun, too." Haru was wearing a white sundress with a flower pattern, which made her look much more dressed up than Tsuna, who just put on a light blue sweater and jeans, ignoring Rebron's comments about how he looked.

Tsuna could feel his cheeks reddening again, much to his annoyance. He glanced up from the ground and smiled at the girl in the sundress. "You look good, Haru."

He could see her face turn red at his comment. He knew that she had "special" feelings for him, but he really wasn't sure what he thought of her as a person. But, right then, as a girl, he thought that she looked very cute, not even Kyoko could compare to her right now.

And to him, it felt like time had stopped as he looked at her, with her red cheeks and small smile. The sandglass that constantly flows, broke for the first time that day.

"Umm, Tsuna-san," Haru spoke, interrupting the boy's thoughts. "About today, is... is it a d-date?" Her fingers were held up to her chest, as she fiddled with them.

It was clear now that Tsuna was blushing. His eyes darted down at the ground as soon as they made eye contact with Haru's eyes. "Umm... well, you see, L-Lambo is still here..."

"Tsuna," came Haru's depressed voice.

Tsuna flinched. "Umm! Well, it's more like an outing that's like a d-date..." There was just something about saying that he was on a date with Haru that made him shiver. It was something he didn't want to admit.

"Then, will Tsuna-kun take Haru on a date after this?" she asked in a loud voice. A girl in love would never give up, and Miura Haru was not one that would give up that easily.

"Okay..." The word slipped out of his mouth, and it greatly surprised even himself. Had he been so desperate not to make Haru cry that the he subconsciously agreed to it without thinking?

Well, either way it was too late, he thought as he looked at Haru's face light up and a wide smile came across it with a "thank you, Tsuna." It was the second time the sandglass had broken and time stood still for the boy.

.

By five in the afternoon, after being run around by Lambo all day, the small boy had fallen asleep. Tsuna picked him up off of the park bench and placed him on his back to piggyback him around the park.

Haru laughed. "Remember when Tsuna let me ride on his back? You didn't seem like you could lift Haru up, but you surprisingly did. It made Haru very happy." She smiled again. "Hey, Tsuna-san, doesn't this feel like a date to you?"

The boy's eyes lowered themselves on the girl. She was shining so brightly, it was like she was something that didn't belong with him. "Yeah," was all he could think to say, as he stared, mesmerized, at the girl standing just a bit in front of him. "Since the park is about to close do you want to go somewhere, since it's the two of us (awake) now?"

Haru smiled and pointed right in front of them. "The Ferris Wheel."

Tsuna gulped. "Sure."

The girl walked over to Tsuna and wrapped her arms around his arm that was being used to carry the small child. "Thank you, Tsuna-san."

They were just reaching the top of the Ferris Wheel, when Haru scrunched up against the window. "Look, Tsuna-san. It's so pretty."

Tsuna placed on hand on the glass, and one hand on the rail to look out the window, since they were sitting on the same seat (Lambo sleeping on the seat opposite them). "It's pretty," he agreed, looking out at the park at dusk.

But for Haru, she wasn't looking at the park, but Tusna's chest, which was right by her face. Her cheeks were bright red and her body was stiff. She was so close to him, too close. "T-Tsuna-san! Umm..."

He looked down at the girl and, realizing just how close they were to each other, sat back down at his side of the seat. His face had gotten hot again today, which he lost count of how many times this was already since they entered the place. "W-what were you about to say, Haru?" he asked, looking out his side of his window, without making any eye contact with the girl.

She blinked. For the fist time, she had noticed Tsuna's unease, and she had noticed the boy's blush. Her eyes were wide with wonder at why Tsuna would be blushing. She laughed, which caught Tsuna's attention. "Thank you, Tsuna-kun!" she exclaimed, with possibly the biggest, brightest, and most beautiful smile Tsuna had ever seen in his life.

The sandglass broke for the third time that day, and with it, had broken the invisible wall that separated the two.

His body seemed to move automatically, to which he couldn't understand, but one thing he knew was that Haru was drawing him to her. His hand brushed her cheek and intertwined itself in her hair. His eyes never left her face, not once, and his lips moved closer to her own—the pink, soft, and juicy temptation that drove him crazy to look at.

"Haru, I-"

The Ferris Wheel stopped, and Tsuna drew back from Haru. He rested his arm on the rail and his head on his hand. Haru placed her hand on her mouth, wonder just what Tsuna was about to do.

It moved again and the door opened. A man, who was standing outside, helped Tsuna down, but Tsuna helped Haru get down with a sleeping Lambo.

Not once on the way back did they talk to each other. Tsuna carried Lambo and Haru walked beside him. They never looked at each other.

Tsuna was the one that finally broke the silence when they started to walk out the exit. "Do you want me to walk you home?" he asked. Sure Haru's house was opposite of where he wanted to go, but he didn't feel right leaving a girl walking home late at night.
"Umm.. Haru's house is only a few blocks away from here. It'll be less than five minutes away, besides, Tsuna's house is opposite this, right?"

"But—" he tried to protest, but was cut off by Haru.

"It's fine, Tusna-san!"

Tsuna wasn't quite convinced, but decided not to go any further. Besides he was exhausted from being run around by Lambo all day. "Right then, bye, Haru."

"Bye, Tsuna-san! And thank you for taking Haru here. Haru had lots of fun today." Haru took a few steps and turned around. She bent down and bowed before running down the dim street.
