Will be in 20 chapters, labeled in days.
Day 1.
Yamamoto had come out first, he took hold of the tenths hand and said in a clear voice. 'Im bi, Tsuna, Gokudera... I hope we can all still be friends.' The tenth smiled at him and nodded in agreement, and though I did so with a grimace, I too, was okay with it. More then okay really, I had had a thing for him for years now, ever since we got back from the future. But whether it was the battles with the Simon famillia or the constant fan girl mobs that followed us around, I was never able to find the right moment to confess, until he did it for me.
We had gone to a club and had one to many drinks, the next thing I knew was his tongue was down my throat and I forgot to breath.
We started dating after that, and where together for our first times, and threw many battles, but it ended. Haru had won his heart, while I, still in love with him and dense enough to not see the warning signs, was left alone. Having to hear him say he loved her instead of me now, having to see him walk away..
I didn't come out of my room unless under orders from the tenth for nearly a week. Yamamoto had come by once, saying sorry, that he just lost his feelings over time. That it was not me, but him. The typical things you say when you don't want to tell someone the truth. That they just didn't cut it for you anymore.
My door bell rang three times, and with a sigh I moved from my seat on the sofa to get it. It was the tenth, and with him was Kyoko-san. They had been together for four years now. When Yamamoto and I had told the tenth about our relationship they had been more then happy to go on double dates with us. … I opened the door slowly, letting them in and then closing it sharply, avoiding the sun. The tenth took a seat while Kyoko-san came over to me, her eyes kind. "I am so sorry about Haru, hayato-san. I told her to leave him alone! If there is ever anything you need from me, anything at all, let me know okay? I care about you, and I can not stand knowing it was Haru who hurt you like this, I may be her friend, but this was just... its to much." She lowered her eyes, her fists balled up. It was one of the first times I ever saw her mad about something. The only other time had been when she found out Turf top had hit the tenth back in the future. And I must admit, she was pretty damn scary back then.
"No. its not your fault. Really. She's a stupid woman, and he- well, we all know he's a baseball idiot so.." I trailed off, not making her or myself feel any better. The tenth came over and put his arm around Kyoko, she looked up and he nodded at her. She looked back a me and took something out of her purse, handing it to me wordlessly.
I took it, nodding at her in thanks. It was simple, black with a red string holding it closed. There was a small lock at the side of the book, and I fumbled with it for a moment, until the tenth told me that the string was to be made into a shape, and that shape would force the lock open. I nodded, internally groaning at the shape he made, it was a perfect heart..
"Thanks, Tenth, Kyoko-san. I- I'll look at it later tonight, if that is okay?" I asked, closing it without looking into the book at all, I didn't need anything making me remember that idiot more then I was already.
They nodded in agreement, the tenth leading Kyoko-san to the couch. "Would you like some company for your movie, Hayato?" I looked over at them, and smiled. Even though it was hard to be around a couple right now, they really are my closest friends and family in the world. I sat down next to the tenth, handed over the popcorn, and clicked play.

"Well then, will we see you at the collage tommarow?" Kyoko-san asked, looking up at me from the door way. I shook my head sheeplisly, not quite ready to brave seeing him again.
It hurt to much.
"Ah, um... then we will stop by and bring you your assignments later this week. " she said, smiling at me in a understanding way, the tenth nodding along with her statement.
I smiled at them and muttered thank you's for a few moments before they departed, reminding me to look at the book they had given me, and that they would see me soon; before taking off down the street. I sighed for a moment, remembering too many times walking like that with Yamamoto. Damn it, why was that stupid bastard making me feel this way!
Snap out of it, the tenth is worried! I thought, smacking my face with my hands before I closed the door and locked the bolts. Turning back to the TV and the little black book.
I sighed again, moving over and turning off the crappy HBO movie, grabbing the book, and heading into my bed room.
I turned on a light and propped up my pillows until I was comfortable.
Then I took out my reading glasses and began forming the stupid red string into a heart.
One I finished it I pressed it into the small slot on the side of the book, and pulled the latch open slowly, relieving a neat and tidy script, written in black ink on the simple white paper.
It was titled.
" The 20 ways to fall out of love."
By, Anonymous.
Introduction,
Hayato, I hope that you have taken the time to read this, and that it finds you in a good frame of mind. The tips and tricks in this book work, guaranteed.
All the best luck, Anonymous.
Then the tips were listed below.
The first thing you should do is get rid of everything that reminds you of the other person, weather it is a photo or a bed, or even a house. Remove them from your mind by removing the things that bring them to your mind.
I nodded along to the text. It was pretty true, really. I needed to do that.
It had been so hard to even more this last week. But, this book was right, I needed to change my surroundings a bit, and getting rid of reminders was a good way to do just that...

Next. Day.
I woke up staring at the stupid bastards alarm clock. He had given it to me years ago because I always slept in after a night of hot sex. I glared at it, my blood boiling. Who the hell was he to do this to me! I sat up, pressing my hand into the black book next to me.
That's right, It said to get rid of all the crap I was given.
Che. How annoying. Talk about a day of work.
It took my ten minutes to convince myself that I needed to through the stupid clock I hated out the window. And another few minutes to really do it. I was sure I would cry, go running down into the street and start picking up the broken pieces, but I did it anyway. And it felt amazing. Like a huge weight was taken from my shoulders.
I spent the rest of the day throwing things into the street.

Will update sooon!
Its alright, hayato. We're together now, and I will never abandon you. Never.
I looked into his eyes, understanding the words he couldnt say aloud. That he had never looked away from anything he cared for. That he never thought of anything but those few things he held dear, and that I too, was one of those things.
