It was in college when they finally resolved their differences. Well, perhaps not actually resolved, got around would be a better phrase. You see, at some point they had gotten around their differences enough that she had her clothes making gear in his apartment, and he had Uri's cat food in her's.
Call it a truce if you will.
A truce that was formed by Gokudera Hayato and Muira Haru.
Somewhere along the way in their mixed up college route, they had actually gotten past their differences enough to focus on their similarities.
It began when they were accepted into the university of Tokyo and only one Guardian other than they had made it in: Hibari Kyoya.
And since he was a senpai, and Gokudera hated the man, and Haru was just intimidated, relationships that way did not progress. That suited Hibari just fine.
At Tsuna's urging, both of them went to Tokyo.
After the first few months both of them realized that it was hard in college without those that they already knew.
Gokudera had plenty of fan girls, but no actual friends, and Haru-well Haru wasn't used to leaving everyone else behind. She was just simply too used to life in high school when they had all been together.
So after a few months of loneliness and a few chance meetings they began to talk again. And to fight again.
After a few months of uneasiness they had settled down to a truce. Every morning Gokudera would head over to Haru's apartment for breakfast and fighting. They would both leave for class and eat lunch somewhere, sometimes separately sometimes together. After lunch would be afternoon classes. They generally ate together in Gokudera's apartment, and study together in the library in the evening. After study sessions they would part ways.
It didn't mean that either of them cared about the other...no...they spent so much time together simply because it was nice to have someone else who understood what they were going through. The mafia affected their lives in more ways than one.
But it did mean that they knew each other more than they had before.
And Gokudera finally realized that Haru wasn't such a stupid woman after all, and that there were brains beneath her air-headedness. Haru realized that Gokudera wasn't just person of extraordinary rudeness, that sometimes he was kind.
So when they came home for New Years after 5 months of being away, the other Guardians noticed that their bickering was just that, bickering. None of the words carried a sting anymore.
This is the story, of Gokudera's and Haru's journey through college and quite possibly beyond. A story of friendship found in the most unexpected of places.
A.N. So this is the beginning of When the Time Comes. A GokuHaru Fic that will take a while to progress to romance.
I believe I will try to keep all of this cannon. Wish me luck?
As always, tell me what you think of this.
(I can't be sure that this will be updated very often. But one of my favorite pairings is GokuHaru so...)
