(An excerpt from "You're my future!")
TTT
Back in their middle school days Haru could remember clearly how she and a certain bomber fought over Tsuna. There wasn't a day they wouldn't stop to fight and call each other stupid. That makes their day. She thought college was a chance to finally be with Tsuna but then she passed Tokyo U. She wanted to go wherever Tsuna was going to but her father insisted that she go to Tokyo U., for the sake of her future. Knowing that the campus was far away from Tsuna's, she accepted that she can't see him as usual. She thought that she could focus solely on her studies when a familiar person came.
"Hahi!"
Haru unconsciously bumped to a person and fell flat on the floor. She was about to apologize when she heard who it was.
"Stupid woman?"
Who's the only person who calls her that?
"Hahi! Gokudera-kun! What are you doing here?"
"Why? Is it wrong to be here?"
"I didn't meant that! I mean, why aren't you with Tsuna-kun and the others?" she swore that Gokudera will follow Tsuna up to the depths of the earth.
Gokudera fidgeted a bit and fixed his eyeglasses (she never thought eyeglasses really suits him, until today) before lending a hand to help her. Haru took his hand and stood up. She was waiting for him to answer when he suddenly walk past by her.
"BAKADERA!"
"WHAT STUPID WOMAN?!" he turned around annoyed. She missed the name calling for an unusual reason.
"Wanna eat cake? My treat!" she beamed at him. He replied with a tch. Haru pouted. Gokudera turned around and was about to leave again when Haru suddenly grabbed onto his waist him from behind.
"O-oy stupid woman! Let GO!" Gokudera pulled her arms with all his might but she was tight as glue.
"Not until you accept my offer. Pleeeaaasee. Hayato-kuun~"
"You're embarrassing woman! People are looking!" she turned to see students giggling and chuckling at them. She internally Hahi-ed and buried her face on the back of his sweatshirt.
"Then just say yes!" she said still buried from embarrassment.
"Just fucking let go woman!"
"No!"
It was already 2 months since Haru started in the university and there wasn't a single familiar face since. Only then Gokudera came that she knew her college life would become a bit more fun.
"Okay fine! I'll go eat whatever fucking cake there is, just let go!" she immediately let go of him and smiled.
"Then do you have classes later?" she asked. The silverette looked very annoyed with the said woman and wanted nothing but to leave immediately. But then he knows she'll never get him to leave. Sighing, he said
"After 3 none."
"3:30 it is then. Let's meet at the café by the medical building 'kay?" she turned around and left without knowing his reply.
Haru wasn't sure that Gokudera was going to come. She knows that he's the kind that depends on mood than promises. She just really wanted to talk to someone (and to ask how Tsuna-kun is doing).
Her last class ended by 3:15, enough time to go to the café. She was on her way when she saw Gokudera on his way too.
"Hayato-kun!" she shouted to get his attention.
Gokudera was drinking soda when he instantly spitted it out. She immediately went to his side and pulled out a handkerchief.
"Ne, what are you. A little kid? Why did you spill your soda? You and Lambo-kun sure are alike" she wiped the soda off his face remembering how sometimes Lambo gurgles his juice for fun.
She was about done when Gokudera turned around and started walking.
"Ne, Hayato~kun!"
No matter how many times she tried calling him, he just ignored her. Haru was calling to him again when he abruptly stopped on his tracks making her bump into him.
"Hahi! Why did you suddenly stop Haya—"
"You kept on calling me Hayato-kun" he said without looking at her. She was rubbing her nose when he turned around to face her.
"Nani? Don't you want me to call you that? Or Bakadera is fine?" she mused. He stared at her eyes for quite a while. She started to feel a little conscious .
He turned around again to point towards the café. She didn't realize that they were already there.
"I'm going to treat you to one of the best cakes there is Goku—"
"Just Hayato"
He was staring at her face, weirdly, she doesn't understand.
"Huh?"
"Hayato's fine, stupid woman." he said before entering first in the café.
"Hahi! Then call me Haru too!"
TTT
The tingling of bells could be heard as a brunette and silverette came in the shop. With hazel brown eyes, it gazed around the menu with delight. As for the emerald sight it went around finding seats to slouch on. Luckily, a table for two was vacant by the window. The bomber went towards it.
"Ne Hayato-ku... Hayato, what do you want?" the brunette asked not leaving her eyes at the menu.
"Whatever's good" he said with a deadpanned toned. He slumped in his seat and laid both his feet on the table. People around them notice the manner of the young man but he didn't bother to care.
The brunette was humming merrily as she walked towards their seat when she noticed the bombers position. He sat up straight as he pulled out a small string from his pocket and tied around his silver locks. He wiped off some sweat from his forehead and opened two buttons of his denim polo as he scowled through the windows. His looks were once seen as a delinquent but now it was as though he came out from a book.
"Hayato, your face..."
"What about my face, woman?" he placed a hand under his chin and gave out a bored look while impatiently waiting for their orders.
"You look gorgeous."
The storm guardian's hand slipped as he fall from his seat while the hazel eyes was curiously looking at his foolishness.
He sat back straight and glared at the hahi woman.
"I have had this face since I was born stupid woman."
"Call me Haru desu!"
"And was that an off hand compliment or you're just bugging the shit out of me? Tch."
He looked outside trying to avoid the face of the brunette. The silverette had gotten used to with how girls swarm him even when he looks like a delinquent.
"It wasn't a compliment desu! But earlier you were looking at the window and it was like you were posing for a magazine."
"Bucking horse Dino has that trait with his face but me? I'm the right hand man of the tenth. I have no time for those kind of stupidity."
Right in the nick of time was their orders.
"Arigatou desu!"
The silverette placed a bored look on the delicacies while the brunette was giving of a heavenly sight to each plate. Haru took a small piece from the angel cake and melted as the taste touch her tongue. Gokudera was just chewing and eating each bite as though to finish it already. He looked up to see the brunette sigh with delight while a hand on her cheek. Her eyes were closed as she took another bite. The silverette didn't think that there was anything extravagant in the pastry. It was good but nothing phenomenal. He didn't have those flowery scenery each bite or sparks when the cake melted in his tongue, but he did feel something. As Haru smiled sheepishly at the cake a part of him flutters. What was it?
"Oi, are you fine stupid woman?" she didn't look but took another bite of her cake.
"Oi"
Ignored.
"Stupid woman!"
She let out a sigh and sipped on her cup.
"Tch... dammit, Haru okay?!"
She beamed at him immediately upon hearing the name. "Yes desu?" she asks with a tilt.
Gokudera let out a silent and tch and took a bite from his cake. "What's so good about cake? It tastes normal but you look as if your soul had been fed by the heavens."
She wiped off the remains of the foam from her lips and placed the napkin back in place.
"Haru loves cake, I guess that's why. Though I tasted different kinds with Kyoko-chan but whenever Haru eats cake there's this feeling that satisfies the heart. A happy memory from each bite"
Haru was startled by the vibration of her phone. She made a sorry gesture with her hand but Gokudera let her take the call. She answered immediately and looked the other way.
"Hai, Haru here!... Oh I left it back in my room... Sure sure... No no It's fine hmm... Okay... I'm having cake with a friend desu!... Bye bye then." she ended the call and placed it back on her pocket. Gokudera raised a brow.
"Haru's new friend, Raku. He called if I still had the cd I borrowed the other day."
Her hazel eyes were met with dark emerald ones. She suddenly flinched when their eyes met but maintained her posture.
"Hahi. What's wrong Hayato?"
The silverette slumped to his seat and placed his hands in his pockets. He turned to look outside.
"Nothing." he took a look from the clock tower. "It's just 4:15, wanna go somewhere?" he asked bluntly.
The brunette was delighted with the offer.
ooo
Haru had dragged him all over the campus ever since he told her that he didn't took part in the tour on the first day. They went on a mini sight-seeing series with the brunette as the tour guide. The scowl on the silverette's face didn't left throughout their tour but he was quite satisfied with the escapade.
Quarter to seven Haru and Gokudera were in a small art shop by the end of the campus.
"Kawaii~" she remarked while holding a small namahage keychain.
"Hn, suits a person like you" Gokudera teased. She let her tongue out while the bomber chuckled at the reaction.
They both found the shop to their likings, a surprise to the storm guardian. The store had bits and bolts that he could use to create various weapons. Since he had the vongola gear, he was still itching to create new ones.
Haru was busy checking some fabric for her future costumes when the bells of the store door rang. They turned around to see a young man of their age with messy jet black hair and blue eyes while wearing a pair of squared eye glasses and a surprised expression on his face.
"Oh Haru, I didn't know that you come here."
"Raku-san what are you doing here?"
He walked over to the brunette and checked out the fabric.
"Hmm? Just trying to look for some oil color. Gonna need it for my next project." he said when a silverette came from behind the shelves.
"Ah Raku-san! The one I was talking about earlier, Gokudera Hayato desu!" she introduced.
The bomber was an inch taller than the newcomer and he checked him bottom to top. He looked like a decent citizen, he thought.
"Murami Raku"
He laid his hand out for a shake but was given a tch instead. The chromatic had this initial impression of the silverette as ill-mannered and short tempered.
Raku returned his hand in his pocket and gave a brief look at the individual. The brunette had this sudden eerie feeling around her that she wrapped herself with her arms.
"Hahi. I think there's an unkown spirit in here desu"
"Baka, ghosts doesn't exist."
"Then why was there a sudden chill?"
"Because women have less muscle mass and more body fat than men. And since a stupid woman like you is small a larger ratio of surface area to mass tends to lose heat faster, thus being easily penetrated by wind chills"
"Haru is not fat! And it wasn't wind chills!"
The two had started with their usual bickering leaving the new one standing in his place. The silverette and brunette had both set their voices in the highest not letting the other get swayed. He wanted to add to the argument but he had a feeling that their fights were something only they can manage.
"Tch."
"Hmph!"
They crossed their arms the same time and turned to look away from each other. Their pride was something they can't easily let go off.
Haru turned to check her watch when her eyes got wider. "Hahi! The dorm lady locks the doors by 7:30!" the two males automatically turned to their watches. It was 7:15.
"Haru needs to go! Gomen Hayato, let's continue the tour next time. See you at class Raku-san"
The brunette dashed off by the second leaving the two by themselves.
Gokudera easily passed the brunette's aquaintance without a sight. The jet haired might be right with his guts, that person wasn't in any way kind like Haru.
