For you
"Tsuna-San? What's wrong? Please tell me. You know that I'm always here for you." Haru was crazy in love for Tsuna. The thing is he was in love with her best friend, Kyoko. She knew that she shouldn't hate her. She just couldn't bring herself round to that.
Tsuna had his head in his hands. He only trusted Haru with his love life. He looked up. His brown eyes bore right into her golden eyes. Haru blushed, but Tsuna didn't seem to notice it.
"She rejected me. She's going out with Yamamoto now. Do you know how it feels to be pining over someone for so long, then find out that they don't love you when you tell them?"
Of course she knew. Tsuna had never acknowledged her more than a friend. He had his eyes on only Kyoko. She gave him a fake bright smile. "Don't worry Tsuna-San! You'll find another girl! All you have to do is open your eyes clearly!"
"Maybe, just maybe you will see that I loved you all along." She really wanted to say this to him, but right now Tsuna needed her.
"You don't understand it do you?" For some reason, Tsuna was getting angry. Haru was starting to get worried. "Kyoko-Chan is my sun! She was what my whole life was for! Knowing you, you could probably get any guy you want!"
Haru was staring right at Tsuna. "Is that really what he thinks? So he didn't take all those times that I said I would be a mafia boss's wife seriously?"
Haru got up from the park bench. Tears had gathered in her tears, but Tsuna couldn't see them because of her bangs. "Hahi. I guess you're not in the mood so I guess I'll leave." As she started to walk away, Tsuna stood up and caught her hand.
She turned back to look at him fully. This time, the tears were streaming down her face silently. "Haru, I'm sorry. I really am. Please don't cry. It's just that you don't understand what it feels like okay?"
"How do you know what I feel and don't feel Tsuna-San? How do you know what I understand and what I don't understand, huh? I can see you're upset, so I'll just leave you alone."
She snatched her hand away from his hand and quickly ran home. All Tsuna could do was watch her go.
"No good Tsuna. You've just lost out an opportunity on having yourself a perfect wife. Remember that you're going to be eighteen soon. You are old enough to start making good decisions without me here. "
Tsuna looked up into the tree. He saw Reborn on the branch. "Well sorry. But I don't like Haru in that way. I'm only for Kyoko-Chan." "You're so delusional Tsuna. Can't you see that she's already going out with someone? She won't turn to you. Now you've made me annoyed. Run round Namimori twice. Any stopping and I'll double it."
Tsuna groaned. "Could my day just get any worse?"
~x~
Haru knew that Tsuna would have training, so she headed to his house. She needed some advice about love from Bianchi.
When she got there, Bianchi saw the tears running down her face and pulled her inside. Both Bianchi and Nana were soothing Haru. Bianchi was rocking her back and forth while stroking her hair.
"Tell sis Bianchi what happened." She did just that. When she finished, she saw that Tsuna's mum had brought her some tea to calm down. "There, there Haru. Don't get upset. You're strong and you never give up. Don't let my son take that away from you."
Haru sniffed and sat up from Bianchi's lap. "That's the problem! Tsuna is the only guy who could ever make me feel any proper emotions. That's why I love him! He makes me feel intrigued, he knows me well and he's so damn kind."
"Well the only advice that I have for you is to keep on trying, or if you're that upset, set the one that you love free."
Haru wiped her tears. She'd done so much for him, especially when they went to the future and her Kyoko had to look after everyone. Now she thinks that it's time to move on. But she still had something that she wanted to do to at least be close to Tsuna.
"Erm… Bianchi can I talk to you please? I need some more private advice." Bianchi noticed how she emphasised the word private. She raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. "Sure." Nana was oblivious to what was going and simply said "I have some cake for later when you want it."
The two girls walked out. Luckily Lambo, I-pin and Fuuta were out to the park with a reluctant Gokudera. When they got to Tsuna's room, Bianchi closed the door and looked at Haru. Haru looked away. She couldn't stand the stare Bianchi was giving her.
"So let me guess. You've already made up your mind about Tsuna." Haru looked at her and nodded slowly. Bianchi sighed. "And I'm guessing that the answer is that you're letting him go right?" Haru nodded yet again, but slower.
"Yes, but I still want to be close to him. I have a way and I want to see if you can help me. If you want…" Bianchi hugged her. "Of course I'll help you! This is for love! As long as you're still willing to try, I can help you!"
Haru hugged her back, and then Bianchi pulled away looking into her eyes with a serious look on her face. Haru gave her a serious look back. "Bianchi. I want to be in the Vongola properly. I want to have a job like the guardians do. I want to be able to fight or something. Maybe a hit man like Reborn said." Haru breathed in Bianchi still hadn't said a word. She was listening to what she had to say.
"Bianchi. I was wondering if you could train me. Please."
Bianchi looked at Haru with a hard stare. Usually this glare would have made someone try and kill themselves. Hell, it might even make Hibari shake with fear. But somehow, Haru managed to not be fazed by such a glare.
"Alright then. You have passed my first test. I usually hate tutoring people no matter how close I am to them, so I give them my death glare. Seeing as you showed no fear, it means you have what it takes to be taught by me."
Haru smiled a little bit. To be honest, that glare had really unnerved her. She thanked Bianchi and was about to leave. Bianchi then stopped her. "Although you are heart broken, it doesn't give you an excuse to not start training now. We are going to start now, by testing how much stamina you have and how fast you are."
Haru had the look of dread in her eyes. Bianchi smirked. She lived for fear and horror. Haru noticed the smirk and recollected herself. There was no way she was going to let someone mock her weakness. "Okay then. But can we please not tell Tsuna? I don't want to him to know."
Bianchi nodded. "Well let's go now. If you do well, you get a whole cake made from mama."
Haru's eyes brightened. "Let's do this then!"
~x~
Tsuna had finished his run. He was a bit distracted because he had seen Kyoko and Yamamoto. At least it had made him run faster and finished with a good time. He only wanted to go home and sleep.
When he reached the park, he saw Bianchi talking to Reborn. Bianchi turned round to give Tsuna her glare. Tsuna stopped dead and started to shiver. "Let me guess, she found out I made Haru cry."
She then gave him bright smile. Tsuna was curious. "Does she have bipolar or something? How come she was glaring at me like she wanted to kill me and now she's smiling like I'm the only one on the earth?"
"Hi Bianchi. What's up?" He had found the courage to keep on walking to them. "Nothing really Tsuna. Just doing some training." There was no one in the park, so Bianchi used the advantage of making poisonous scorpions and making them chase Haru. The only way for them to disappear was that Haru had to keep on running for ten minutes. Once the time was up, the scorpions would dissolve.
"Who are you training?" It looked like he has a new family member.
"No one in particular." Tsuna had just realized something.
"But wait a minute, you said that you hate to train people unless they can get past your glare." "Quite right. This person was ready to overcome my glare. You're not the only one surprised. I'm surprised that person was able to overcome it."
Just then the timer went off. "Looks that ten minutes are up. They should be coming back in a minute depending on if they got caught." This came from Reborn. Bianchi had told Reborn what Haru said. He smiled. He knew that she would come around soon.
Just then Haru ran out of the bushes. Her sleeves were torn and so were parts of her trousers. She ran right up to Bianchi. "How was that?" Bianchi looked down to the girl. She smiled. "That was great. Go home and rest up for tomorrow. I will work you even harder."
Haru rolled her eyes. She got a face full of poison cooking. "Hey!" Bianchi smirked. "The pupil should never be rude to the teacher." "Yes Bianchi-sensei." She managed to mumble even though her face was full of poison cooking.
"Bye Bianchi, bye Reborn." She ran off home. Somehow she didn't see Tsuna.
Tsuna was angry. "What are you doing dragging Haru into this mess? As if it isn't bad that I'm the next Vongola Decimo, now you're dragging Haru into this?" Bianchi stood over Tsuna.
"For your infomation, she got herself dragged into it. She's the one who said that she wanted to be a hit man, not me." Tsuna was suprised. "She really said that?"
"Why would she say that? It's not like its anything good." "I don't really know." She was lying and Tsuna's hyper intuition was telling him that. Still, he didn't press on. "Okay then. So Reborn, what else do you have in mind for me?" Tsuna had learnt not to complain as it got him in some more training that hre really didn't want to do.
"Well you have a test coming up and I'm not going to let you be no go Tsuna at this point of time. You're going home to study." Tsuna smiled. With all the training Reborn got him to do, he sometimes forgot that he was here to also raise his grades.
"Oh yeah!" Tsuna and Reborn looked at Bianchi. "What is it?" "I forgot that I said that once Haru was done with her training, she gets a whole cake. I bet that's why she did her best. So I was wondering, Tsuna do you think you could take it over to her? And don't tell her you know about the hitman thing. I kinda promised her I won't tell you." Tsuna looked at the cake. It was a perfect reason for him to go to her house.
"Uhh, yeah sure." Tsuna grabbed the cake and headed in the direction of Haru's house. Reborn chukled. Bianchi picked him up and headed the other direction. " So Reborn, do you think he likes her?" Reborn chuckled again. "I think so Bianchi."
~x~
Tsuna got to Haru's door. He suddenly got all shy. He didn't know what to say to her when she answers the door. She also didn't want him to know about the training business, so he didn't know how to act. "I guess she's still upset about the other day then."
Just as he was about to knock, the door opened. "Hello Tsuna." He was shocked to see Haru at the door. "How did you know I was at the door?" "I looked out of the window and saw you. You hadn't knocked on the door, so I wondered what was keeping you."
Tsuna looked embarrassed. "Where are my manners? Come in!" She let Tsuna walk past her to the living room. Luckily her parents were out. It was their 20th wedding anniversary.
"So Tsuna, what brings you here?" Haru wasn't quite sure at why Tsuna was here. "Oh well, Bianchi said that she forgot to give you this cake and gave it to me to give to you." Tsuna thought he saw fear run through her face, but it was so quick, he wasn't sure if he had imagined it.
"Does her know? Probably not. Bianchi promised me." "Thanks! I was wondering what to have for dessert. Would you like to join me?" Tsuna was surprised that this was the same girl that used to proclaim that she would be his wife. "I miss that Haru."
"Wait, what? Haru's nice and all, but she's no Kyoko-Chan. Besides, I made her cry." Tsuna kept on thinking, until he was pulled out of his thoughts with Haru nudging him gently. "Oh Haru. Yes I wouldn't mind really."
They both sat down at the table. Tsuna watched as haru began to slice the cake. He watched her delicate hands move over the cake. He looked up into her face. He noticed that she had also had a shower. She had let her brunette hair down loose and it was still damp. He saw that she was wearing a simple white dress that stopped about two inches above her knee. "She looks so beautiful." He inhaled deeply to smell a nice lavender smell off of her.
"There you are Tsuna." She placed the cake in front of him. Her golden eyes looked right into his brown eyes. She blushed when he caught her looking, but didn't look away. Tsuna decided it was best not to lie about him not knowing about her becoming a hit man.
"So Haru. I over heard that you wanted to become a hit man." He watched as a shocked look came on her face. She looked down a mumbled. "I know what you think, but I'm not giving up." Tsuna's hyper intuition also told him that it wasn't also the hit man thing that she was talking about.
He grabbed for Haru's hand. She had an even bigger shocked look on her face. "Don't worry Haru. If that's what you really want, then I'm here for you. It's your decion, I just don't want to see you hurt. That's all."
Haru's face softened. "Uhh, thank you Tsuna-San." Tsuna gave her a smile.
"There's just something I don't get. Why?" Haru opened her mouth, but no words came out. "Crap what do I tell him? I guess I have to tell him the truth." She sighed. "Well, I want to be able to protect the people that I love. I don't want to be a heavy burden. At least that way, if someone tried to abdict me, I can stand my own ground. Also, I want to be there for my boss."
Tsuna smiled when he heard the last words. "Really?" Haru nodded with a slight blush. "Well, I also found this as an oppotunity to come and apologise to you. I'm sorry that I snapped at you this morning. It was wrong of me and you're right. I don't know how you feel. So I wondering if maybe you can tell me how feel. I want to be here for you like you are for me."
Haru stared at Tsuna. "This is the Tsuna that I fell for. So loving and kind. I just have to forgive him. I can't stay mad at him." Haru gave him a heart melting smile. "Sure thing."
They both talked until Tsuna said he had to get back to study with Reborn.
When they got to the door, Tsuna hugged Haru. "Thank you for telling me all that. Now I know how you feel." Haru hugged him back with happy tears. "It's alright Tsuna. I trust you. After all, you are the boss of the Vongola family."
Haru pulled away. Tsuna smiled. "See you tomorrow I guess." "Yeah." She watched as he walked down the road. "I love you more than ever now Tsuna Sawada." She smiled to herself and shut the door.
