You see, they never expected to end up together. No-one else did either, except perhaps Reborn, but Reborn sees lots of things and it is only rarely that he mentions any of the truly important ones.
Their story didn't start off as love. As a matter of fact, they were quite indifferent to each other's existence, and would have been perfectly content to stay that way. They had no significant contact with each other, other than the Famiglia. And Gokudera Hayato was the Boss's right-hand man while Miura Haru was merely a member of the Famiglia, and not a particularly strong one.
Things probably would've stayed that way, too, if Haru hadn't applied to the same university Gokudera did. They did not know of this fact until a few months into the school term, when Gokudera spotted three guys harassing a girl. What he saw when he got a little closer shocked him. Before he could blink, two thugs were on the ground, holding their legs and bleeding and the last one looked frightened. But what shocked him the most, was the girl he now recognized as Miura Haru. She held a gun in her hands, her posture perfect and her face cold.
Now, while Gokudera had never really paid much attention to her, he'd always been aware of the fact that she was a little violent. She'd tried to kill the Jyyudaime once, after all. And now he had no doubts that Miura Haru was capable of murder and more. And while that was a little unsettling, he couldn't help but be a little impressed at the sheer efficiency and effortless competency she portrayed with the gun in her hands and her left shoe spattered with blood.
