Under the Olive Tree
A small KHR drabble :) Hope you like it.
No one knew how it happened. Honestly, you would've thought that by being in the mafia, you would've seen everything. Apparently, Gokudera could still be surprised.
It was mid-June when he saw the two walking together hand in hand towards the Vongola HQ's huge garden. He was leading her. That scene made Gokudera feel a bit shocked. 'Wait a sec... Was that..?'
So he continued to follow them into the bright gardens of the mansion. From the corner behind the large pillars, he saw them holding hands and seemingly happy just looking at each other under the olive trees. 'Hibari? Happy? With the stupid woman?' Well, she's not exactly stupid. A girl who got in to one of the most prestigious school back in Japan would certainly not be dumb at all. Still, the sight of seeing the two together made Gokudera's heart beat a little faster.
Miura Haru had grown into a beautiful young woman with short hair that curled on the ends. Her smile was able to brighten up any room she was in and her deep sense of understanding made everyone love her dearly. She was annoying before but she had that intense loyalty that he always admired about her. Gokudera had to admit that she had become very close to everyone's hearts as well as essential to Juudaime's famiglia.
Now, Hibari was smirking while whispering something, maybe sweet, in her ears. A soft bell-like laugh came from her small pink lips. He pulled away from her and looked in her eyes as they leaned in to the large olive tree. The soft shadows of the tree concealed them from view. Yet, Gokudera knew what happened next.
He turned away from them and ran as far as he could from the scene. His heart pounding louder each step he took. When he safely got into his room, he leaned heavily on the oak doors and slunk down on the floor.
Hibari is in love with Haru. And Haru loves Hibari back.
How could he not have noticed he was in love with her as well?
