kawaii-firestar- Hi! I was really bored one day and while reading Furuba this just popped into my head. Seriously, why does Haru only smile at Yuki? It brings up questions that's for sure. If you hate it just leave, I couldn't really care less but if you like it thanks! Okay! Onto the super short drabble!

Haru's smile. If I ever said that, everyone would laugh and say, "That's a good one Yuki-kun. As if Hatsuharu-san has an expression other than indifference."

I'd forgive them for insulting him. After all, none of them know about it. Although I'll never admit it, it does make me feel special. I'm the only one in the whole world that knows about his wonderful smile.

Not even Rin, the one who he supposedly loves more than anything else, knows about it. He hasn't graced her with his smile and I know why. I know why because I know better. He told me about what they did. The reason why Akito pushed her out of the window. At first, it was sickening to hear. I wanted to yell but I couldn't. l wanted to hit him but I couldn't. I was taught better. So, I settled with clenching my fists on my crossed arms. I couldn't stop the glaring either. Then, when I thought I was about to explode, I calmed.

Haru wasn't smiling.

He wasn't happy about what he did. I realized he was telling me because he wanted forgiveness, not support or anything else a friend would be expected to give. So I gave it to him. Not because I really did forgive him but only so I could see him smile at me.

Only me.

When he did - the lips curving ever so slightly, his teeth just barely visible - I truly forgave him. I couldn't resist his smile then and I can't resist it now.

I remember the time just after Honda-san saw the cat's true form. I had kept a lid on my feelings that day but somehow Haru still noticed I was troubled. I hadn't even talked to him at all that day but somehow he still knew. He always had a way of knowing and he always had a way of cheering me up.

Always.

That day he talked to me about Honda-san. I never wanted her to worry but at the same time I did. My selfishness wanted her to worry about me because my mother never did. That's all I ever wanted from her; a mother.

Haru hadn't noticed that yet.

That's why he tried to lure me out of depression using her. It didn't work. It would never work. When he said he was worried... well that worked but only a little. Then, Haru smiled. It worked a little too well that day and without thinking, I invited him over for dinner.

He kept smiling as he answered but I don't remember any noise. I only noticed his smile. His beautiful sincere smile.

Heh, I sound more like Princess Yuki now but if that lets me see Haru smile again, I'd gladly be a princess.

Anything to see Haru smile.


kawaii-firestar- Whoah. I knew it was short but I didn't realize it was that short. Oh well. I like it anyway. Review please!
