Hello there!My first HayaRyu fanfic (because I totally love Akame,so I'd thought I'd give it a try) and I'm a bit unsure...

Well,English is not my native language,so I may have some mistakes (although I should thank KanashimiAngel for betaing it a bit)And the chapters might be a bit short,but I can't help it...

Anyway,hope you like it!

He tried to accept it. He tried to act normal. He tried to look happy for his sake. After all, he was the strong leader of 3-D. How could he show a sad and worried face?

Hayato couldn't believe his ears when Ryu announced that he was going to Canada after graduation. His face was emotionless as always when the words escaped his lips and Hayato couldn't figure out if he was sad, angry, worried or happy about it. Take, Tsucchi and Hyuuga weren't less shocked as well.

''Oi Ryu-chan! What's with the serious face? It's way too cold, even for your standards!'' Hyuuga said when they saw Ryu coming to them.

''Heh, don't tell me you're so sad about our graduation! It's a week ahead!'' Tsucchi teased.

''Actually, I'm not. I just have something to tell you all'' Ryu replied.

''Really? What is it then?'' Hayato asked.

''After graduation…I'm going to Canada.'' Ryu said. There was silence for six seconds, before Take jumped and looked at Ryu shocked.

''EEEHHH? NANDE RYU?'' Tsucchi shouted, forcing everyone to cover their ears.

''I wanna know too!'' Hyuuga got up, pointing at Ryu.

''Ryu-chan why? Don't tell me your father forced you again?'' Take asked, throwing his arms around Ryu's neck.

''No, he didn't. He just…suggested and I thought it…would be good'' Ryu answered, gently freeing himself from Take.

''You mean you're bored? Tired of us?'' Take said, his eyes getting wet.

''Don't be stupid, of course not! It's just that we have to think of our future and I thought I'd give a try'' Ryu answered, looking at them. He really didn't like the situation.

''But we don't want you to leave!'' Hyuuga complained.

''We'll really miss you!'' Tsucchi added. ''We don't want to lose you, right Hayato?'' he turned at him. ''Um…Hayato?''

The other three turned to look at him as well. Hayato was looking at Ryu, his fists tightened.

''You're leaving'' he said coldly. Ryu stared back at him.

''Well, yeah. I know it comes as a surprise, but-''

''And you tell us your father just suggested it, that everything's your idea'' Hayato continued, his face now having an angry expression.

''Excuse me?'' Ryu asked. Take, Tsucchi and Hyuuga stepped back, knowing a little too well they shouldn't interfere when Hayato was like this.

He really looked ready to explode.

''Who're you trying to fool Ryu? Since when are you thinking about the future? Since when does your father only suggest things? And even if what you said is true, how can you act so normal?'' he let out, grabbing Ryu's shirt.

''Hayato calm down. Everything I said is true. I know it's sudden but I don't think anything would change if I started crying or whatever'' Ryu answered coldly, putting (with great effort) Hayato's hands down. Hayato stared at him for a few seconds until he returned to his seat.

''Have fun then…we'll always be here, waiting for you'' he sighed, then faked a smile. ''It'll take some to get it used to it though''.

Ryo looked at him. His face was a bit calmer now, however he was not convinced he had accepted his words so easily. He was right.

''I have to go. Taku will be worried. That little brat…'' Hayato and stood up smiling. ''See ya…and Ryu…good luck. Not that I won't see you tomorrow, just felt like wishing. Ja ne'' he added and got out of the café, his tone normal as always.

''He…will be ok, right?'' Take asked, worried.

''Heh, of course he'll be. It was a shock, indeed, to all of us. Plus, you know Hayato, he tends to overreact'' Tsucchi said. Hyuuga smiled sadly. ''Demo Ryu, we'll miss you, really. We'll text each other, ok?'' he asked.

''Sure thing'' Ryu answered, still looking at the exit. He felt like a traitor again. And why the heck could Hayato see through him so well?

Hayato was walking, having no specific place to go. He didn't want to go home, he didn't want to keep wandering either. It didn't really matter though, because wherever he was, his mind was filled with Ryu's words. Damn, why did he felt like Ryu was betraying him? Since when was he so close to Ryu? Why did he care so much? They could talk on the phone, couldn't they? Why did he feel like a part of himself was being taken away from him? He felt really angry, sad, helpless…and hurt.

He would try to accept it. He would try to act normal. He would try to act happy for Ryu's sake. After all he was the strong leader of 3-D. How could he show a sad and worried face?

Hayato sighed and continued his way to the place they had arranged to meet. The Graduation ceremony was over, and this was the last day they would all be together. The sun had already set, so he hurried to get to his destination, the karaoke place they always went. Take had arranged a group date to make it less difficult for them, to relax and forget. Even Ryu had agreed to that.

When he finally got there, he was greeted by young girls squealing ''Haya-chan! You finally came!'' and dragging him along. Luckily, he spotted Tsucchi, Hyuuga and Take and ran to them.

''You're late man! We were worried you would miss the fun!'' Tsucchi scolded him.

''Sorry guys…where's Ryu by the way?'' Hayato asked, sitting down next to Hyuuga.

''He went to the restroom. He said it was too noisy, even without you being here.'' Take explained, hugging a girl.

''He did? I'll get him for that later…'' Hayato murmured.

''Come on Hayato, relax! Look at all these beautiful Momo girls! We thought we should make our…farewell party look like the usual ones.'' Hyuuga said, offering Hayato a drink. He took it and drank it all at once. He didn't feel like having fun at all and he couldn't lie to himself. Laughing, chatting and playing with some Momo girls wouldn't change the fact that Ryu, his best friend, was gonna leave.

However he knew he had to look happy until Ryu was gone. He had to act happy in front of him, in order to not make him sad or worried. So he managed a big smile and turned to one of the girls around him.

Review please! I'll try to post next chapter as soon as possible!
