A/n: As promised, drabbles. Fair warning, they are short little tid-bits from various characters in the story. :) Now, these are basically taken out of context of the events that happened and can be read as stand alone, but it won't make much sense unless you've read my other story Fateful. Readers, enjoy! (*Rated M for future scenes)

Fateful Outtakes

Drabble 1: Heisuke's Love at First Sight

"Get your ass in gear, runt!"

Swiftly, Shinpachi's foot made contact with Heisuke's lower back as he shoved him along. Heisuke stumbled ungracefully into the door jab and glared over his shoulder. How many times in a day did Shinpachi's foot hit him? A better question would have definitely been how many times does Shinpachi piss him off?

Too many.

Heisuke flipped him off, sneering at his friend. "Asshole, watch it!" he grunted angrily. He straightened and huffed again, "And knock it off with the foot thing, Shinpachi. If I didn't know better, I'd say you had a foot up the ass fetish or some crazy shit..."

Sanosuke, the tallest of the two, tossed his head back and laughed. Shinpachi grunted a few swears and nudged him, but Sanosuke only waved him off. He furrowed his brows with annoyance and shot a heated glare in Heisuke's direction.

"You little fuck," he mumbled and Heisuke shrugged, jumping back quickly when Shinpachi made a move to hit him.

"It was funny, dude!" he shouted, chuckling slightly. "Get over it!"

Shinpachi rolled his eyes, "I'll get ya, runt." He raised a fist melodramatically and raised it in the air. "I swear to you that I'll get ya back."

Heisuke shrugged casually again. It wasn't the first time Shinpachi made such a proclaimation like that, in fact, it was done nearly hundreds of times a day. It was part of their day to day banter, along with punching and other shit such rough housing.

Rolling his shoulders, Heisuke tipped his head back and sighed. His muscles were aching to relief some pent up stress in kendo. He had a test he was sure he did decent on, but throughout he was sweating it pretty bad. He wasn't a very good test taker.

Once inside the house, he kicked off his shoes and leaned upwards in a stretch when his eyes caught movement a few feet away. Instantly he was alert of the stranger standing in their foyer, staring at all the personal pictures lined against the wall.

A rather petite looking female stood slightly bent, a soft smile curving her friendly face and lighting up her brown eyes. She looked rather young from the side, but the way her jeans hugged her hips told him otherwise.

Normally Heisuke wasn't the type to straight out ogle girls like that, at least not sober, but he couldn't help being drawn to the faint smile on her face and the way her dark hair would occasionally slip from her side ponytail. If this was any other place but their house, he wouldn't have hesistated to walk over and introduce himself. If Heisuke wasn't around his friends, he would've definitely have approached her sooner.

But such a bold claim like that was easy for it to turn to embarrassment from the two loud mouths behind him. The thought seemed to jolt Heisuke from his slight off track thinking. What was a girl doing in their home? She seemed fraigle, but it could've been possible that she was there to join the kendo class they offered. They were always recruiting and trying to grow, there always seemed to be new people everyday.

The thought that he could possibly be seeing her more often made him smile and he couldn't help the excitement then. "Ooi, girl!" he called, startling her. She straightened immediately, her brown eyes widening even further and instantly sending his heart into over drive and shocking other parts of him awake.

The girl was definitely as short as he thought she was. A full head or so smaller than his slightly shorter height—compared to the abnormally tall guys he lived with. He considered his height normal, the others didn't quite agree. Her hair swept perfectly to the side, bangs hovering just over her wide eyes.

Although she was small, she had curves that he could easily pick up on even though she didn't wear tight clothes—other than the jeans of course. Her overall look was innocent, a girl who wasn't trying hard to be pretty or sexy. She was a natural looker with the good girl-next-door beauty that was rare in females. Most girls he was use to wore so much make up it was like sleeping with and then waking up to someone completely different. One could never tell now-a-days.

But not her, no, she was very blatantly beautiful. There was no tricks on her face, or goop on her eyes, or shine on her lips. She was real, she was fresh faced and glowing.

And she was just his type.

Heisuke could honestly say that he never felt so strongly towards a stranger before. Never had he gotten an urge to get close to someone and never had his heart started racing like it was. Sure, he had crushes before, maybe once or twice convinced himself he was in "love" but never had he felt it like this. The way his palms were sweating and his voice could barely form correct words or even force them out of his mouth. Every thought that ran through his head seemed stupid or wrong or not enough...

He was sure that was what it felt like to be struck by cupid's fucking arrow. Heisuke was a hundred percent sure that he was in love with the nameless girl in front of him. Wasn't there songs about moments like the one he was in? He remembered a few and they all described what was happening to him so perfectly down to the sweaty palms, words dying on his lips, and his thoughts all muddled. It seemed cliche, but it was right.

Love at first sight.

He could only hope that she wasn't already spoken for. But he knew that even if she was, he'd fight for his chance because that was what he did. Heisuke Toudou never gives up. He could tell that this was the kind of girl that would be worth it, the kind you brought home to meet your mother. Definitely the type to marry and the real type who could complete someone.

Heisuke smiled. Love at first sight? He never believed in it before, but now as he watched this pretty little thing in front of him he was sure that it existed.
