Hello to everyone! This is my first fanfic for KHR! I'm not a total fan to know every little detail about the anime, so there might be some canon mistakes. I also write their names in the "last name, first name" order.

I'm glad I finished this chapter in time for Yamamoto's birthday. Happy birthday Yamamoto a.k.a. ideal boyfriend material!~

I do not own KHR or its characters. I only own my OCs.

Warning: Story contains light yaoi = boys' love. Don't like it? Leave quietly.

Chapter 1

A bright, sunny day engulfed the whole of Namimori. The sakura trees are in full bloom this season as its petals fluttered and scattered themselves on the streets. A warm breeze swept through the cheeks of the baseball idol of Namimori Middle School. Yamamoto Takeshi was only a few blocks away until he reached the school gates. Still, with his laid-back attitude, he decided to take it slow and grasp the environment. He still had plenty of time anyway.

"Man, I can feel that this is going to be a fun new school year!" He cheered with his energetic voice, stretching his hands up in the air.

He was really excited. He, Tsuna and Gokudera are now in the 3rd year level. Ryohei and Hibari are in the 4th year. It's like a big step towards his future career. Most of all, he will get to see his friends in baseball again. The baseball idol grinned to himself as he reminisced the sound of bats hitting the ball, whistles being blown, the tension of being in the field.

His imagination was stopped when he saw the gates of Namimori with two familiar figures walking toward it. His eyes widened in glee as he smiled from ear to ear. The rain guardian ran up to his two friends.

"Good morning Tsuna, Gokudera!" he chirped with his usual, goofy grin. He was greeted back by the mafia boss and only earned a "Tch!" from the bomber. The baseball idol laughed and scratched the back of his head at the latter's reaction.

They all proceeded to walk to the gate, conversing on the way. In the middle of their conversation about Tsuna's future performance this year, Yamamoto's eyes noticed a shade of blue walk past the gate. Curiosity besting him, he ran over to the front of the gate to see what that plump of blue was about. He scanned the students walking towards the school and failed to find the same shade of blue his vision showed him.

"Hey, Yamamoto! Why'd you run so suddenly like that?" Tsuna roughly stated as he held his knees, panting on their sudden sprint.

"Oi, you baseball idiot, you're making Juudaime tired!" Gokudera growled. Said teen wasn't paying attention as he was still in the middle of his search. Finally done, he turned around and scratched his head while laughing.

"Sorry about that Tsuna! Something just caught my eye and I suddenly became curious, that's all. Come on, let's head inside now!"

Tsuna responded with a nod while Gokudera continued to reprimand the raven-haired teen. Yamamoto would flash a grin at the bomber once he was done, which angered the silver-haired male even more. The Vongola boss, on the other hand, tried his best to calm the two.

'Strange, though.' Yamamoto thought. 'Why was I remotely curious about that thing?'

"Hey, hey, did you hear?"

His thoughts were interrupted by a group of four girls gossiping about something. He intently listened on their conversation, making sure to mute out Gokudera's lectures.

"Yeah, there's a hot transfer student in the juniors today!" A brown-haired girl with a single braid chirped.

"Man, I haven't seen him in person. What's he like?" A black-haired girl with laid back hair asked.

"Well, he's good at everything! Studies, sports, dancing, singing, you name it! I bet he's got a ton of fangirls following him though. He's a total package!" A blonde with a ponytail on her back stated.

"He's also cute too! Man, he's a dream prince in his white horse!" The violet-haired female with curls on the end of her hair squealed. This made the other three giggle at the thought as they entered the school.

This left the baseball fan wondering. 'A new student, huh? I hope we can be friends!' He mentally chirped.

The welcome ceremony wasn't anything special. It's the same old principal-gives-a-boring-speech-in-which-we-are-forced-to-clap routine. It just wasted 1 hour of precious school time. After the ceremony, all students went to their respective rooms. The three were classmates again, but this time in 3-C. Their seats were far apart from each other though. Their new homeroom teacher was just taking the attendance when suddenly, the door slid open to reveal two figures.

"Ah, Yamada-sensei, I hope I'm not interrupting your homeroom." The first figure spoke with his slightly raspy voice.

"Oh no, Principal, not at all! Do you have any business, sir?" Mr. Yamada greeted the figure revealed to be the Principal of Namimori.

"Ah, I have here with me the transfer student. Just add him to the roster. I expect that you'll take care of him."

"Don't worry, sir. I'll do my best!" With that, the principal left with the smile, letting the second figure enter the room. He immediately wrote his name on the board and put down the chalk when he finished, not wasting time. As he faced the anticipating crowd a.k.a. his classmates, girls squealed in delight. Yamamoto's eyes widened at the sight.

"My name is Itsuki Johan. It's nice to meet all of you." He bowed out of courtesy which earned another fangirl scream.

Yamamoto processed this student. He had limp blue hair, bangs framed his face fittingly, ocean blue eyes, fair skin and the Namimori school uniform with a blue necktie and a white inner polo shirt. He had average build and height. He also wore an expressionless look on his face. 'Actually, I think it's more on disinterest rather than expressionless.' The raven-haired boy thought. His voice isn't that deep, yet it's not shrill like Tsuna's. 'It's just the normal male's voice, but his was different. It was so alluring that I can play it over and over again and I wouldn't get tired.'

"Alright, you can sit… over there!"

Yamamoto's happy thoughts were once again disrupted when the teacher pointed at an empty seat in front of him. Johan nodded and silently made his way to it, ignoring the girls' attempt to get his attention. As he went to sit down, his ocean blue eyes met with the baseball teen's hazel orbs. Yamamoto was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered as he plastered his signature smile. Johan, who still wore his 'disinterested' look, ignored him and sat down. This made the raven-haired boy frown a bit.

'Hmm… He didn't even respond. He's one interesting kid.'

It was already lunch time. Yamamoto stretched his arms as he stood up. He made his way towards Tsuna who was already accompanied by Gokudera in his seat. Before he got to them though, he looked back to see if Johan would still be in his seat, but, to his dismay, the bluenette was already gone.

"Hey, Yamamoto, what are you looking at?" Tsuna, with his curious look, asked the baseball idol who was still fixated on the empty seat.

"Ah, I was checking to see if Itsuki was still there and I was hoping to invite him to eat with us." Snapping out of his momentary daze, he laughed and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"But seriously though, he's incredibly smart. I think he's even smarter than Gokudera." This earned a growl from the bomber.

Flashback

Yamamoto was trying his best to keep himself awake as he was just scolded in his previous class. Since he already slept, he should be able to keep himself awake, but that was not the case. It was Mathematics class currently, resulting in a number of students groaning about not understanding anything. Right now, the teacher was discussing something that's too complicated for the baseball teen's capability to understand. When the teacher was finished writing, the equation was shown as follows:

x^2 – 6x + 9 = 43
x - 3

The raven-haired boy yawned, not taking interest at the lesson. If there was one thing he could hate, it's Math. I mean, who doesn't hate Math? Nobody would ever say "Can I buy x + 3 = 2x - 5 pieces of candy?" in any ordinary situation. How would anybody apply this in the future? It's miscellaneous junk they want to stuff everybody's heads with.

A hand being immediately raised caught his attention, snapping him from his daydream. It was from the person sitting in front of him, Itsuki Johan. The raven-haired teen blinked a few times, trying to process the current situation. 'The teacher just finished writing the problem and he's already solved it?' He thought in amusement. All eyes were on him, faces expressing awe and disbelief.

"Yes, Itsuki. Do you know the answer?"

"Yes. It's x = 46." His tone was monotonous yet respectful. He still wore that 'disinterested' look. The people around him, with the exception of the rain guardian, had that 'he'll-never-get-that-right' look on their faces.

"That's correct!"

Uproar suddenly emerged after that statement. Yamamoto's shocked himself. 'He seriously solved that problem just by looking at it? He's really smart!' He thought, his mouth somehow gaping as the bluenette took his seat, not minding the praises that can be heard left and right. There were some "That's impressive, Itsuki!" and "You've got to tutor me, Itsuki!" from his classmates. There were also some who grunted and had that 'that's-just-beginner's-luck' aura all over them, especially a certain silver-haired teen. Johan continued to ignore them, not even uttering a word or a simple sigh.

End of Flashback

"Tch, that kid ain't special. I could've done the same thing you know!" Gokudera assured himself, arrogance apparent in his expression.

"Haha, I'm sure you can. Come on, let's eat at the rooftop!" Yamamoto suggested, earning a nod from the Vongola Decimo.

The trio made their way towards the rooftop. As they were passing through the hallway, the rain guardian saw a familiar bluenette, resting his head on a sakura tree and eating a sandwich all alone. The sakura petals fluttering in the wind completely complimented the setting; however. the bluenette still wore his signature 'disinterested' look. Yamamoto's normal smiling face toned down at the sight. 'Wait a minute. Why am so I fixated on itsuki? It's not like I've known him or anything. In fact, he's the exact opposite of me.' He thought as they continued making their way to the rooftop.

After class, Yamamoto was free from baseball practice for the day, so he could get home early. Tsuna and Gokudera had already gone ahead, with the latter saying something about beating Itsuki. This leaves the baseball teen to walk home alone today.

"Man, what an interesting first day!"

The feeling earlier morning returned as he walked back home, only this time orange and red hues filled the sky instead of blue pastels like earlier. The streets were silent as he walked past them. It's the comforting silence everybody needed after a tiring day at school. That school day wasn't eventful, but it wasn't uninteresting either. 'Speaking of uninteresting, that Johan kid though, I wonder what he's thinking.' His thoughts suddenly took an interest on the transfer student. These past few hours, Johan seems to be dominant in his mind as the rain guardian can't stop thinking of the bluenette.

'Wait a minute; I've never been like this before. That guy is really interesting, but that's not enough reason for him to be stuck on my mind like this.'

Speak of the devil, he just saw the subject of his monologue a few blocks away. Yamamoto snapped out of his thoughts, but continued walking at the same pace, closely eyeing the other male. After a few minutes of walking, the two had already arrived in Yamamoto's neighbourhood, a safe distance still between them. Johan entered an apartment, which the baseball idol thought to be the bluenette's home. Realizing that his house was only a few corners away and the ignorant male had already disappeared, the raven-haired teen sighed and made his way back to his house.

"Like I said, this is going to be a fun school year!"

That wraps up the chapter! I really don't think there's any development in this chapter. Tell me what you guys think in your reviews!~

Johan: I hate you.

CG: Eh!? Why?

Johan: Every fiber of your being.

CG: Aww, come on. Don't say that! *pinches cheek*

Johan: I'm seriously holding back my urge to incapacitate you.

CG: You really don't have to sugarcoat words, you know!

Johan: *utters un-sugarcoated words*

CG: I stand corrected.

See you next update!
