Socks: 2nd Chapter! Thanks applestoapples for reviewing~

Gokudera: Tch. Bluesocks doesn't own KHR, Lambo, I-pin or any other characters. She'll never be smart enough to.

Socks: Hey! D:

Situation: Gloomy

"W-what?" I-pin asked in disbelief.

"You heard me. I said marry me," Lambo said, holding her hands a little tighter.

I-pin snatched her hand away. "I'm not forcing you to marry me, La-" Lambo stood up and put a finger on I-pin's lips, smirking.

"Whoa there. Who's talking about forcing? I don't know anybody who wouldn't want to marry such a beautiful girl."

"Lambo… I-"

"The child needs a father… We could get married and see how everything goes… How does that sound?"

Lambo mentally laughed at himself. This was ridiculous. He was just getting his hopes high. It's not as if this was some cliché drama where two people who don't even love each other marry each other and start to fall for each other. It's not as if I-pin would suddenly realize that he was the right one for her, having always been there by her side all those years.

Lambo jumped slightly, his train of thoughts interrupted when a small warm hand gently caressed his cheek. Looking up, he was immediately mesmerized by those deep black eyes that he grew to love a lot over the past decade.

"I trust you, Lambo. I'll marry you."

Just then, rain started pouring.

Talk about cliché drama

Gokudera sighed. "You really screwed up this time."

"I don't need you to tell me that. I'm not stupid," Lambo retorted, gulping down the rest of the beer.

In normal situations, Gokudera would have pounced onto Lambo and give him a good bashing up. But hey, the guy just realized that he'd knocked up the girl of his dreams and proposed to her. And the girl had probably only agreed for the heck of it. It won't hurt to cut the young man some slack.

"When's the wedding?"

"After we get used to things and stuff."

"Used to things and stuff? Stupid cow. This is not some migration. You're not moving to a new country. You're freaking becoming a father and marrying that girl. You're not going to wait till you're on your death bed before you realize that 'oh. Hey. I guess it hasn't been that awkward the past few days. I should quickly get married before I die'."

"I know what I'm doing. I don't need you to teach me how to live."

Gokudera looked at Lambo. Damn he sure was screwed up. Never in the 20 years he had known the guy had he seen him that depressed. Gokudera knew everything. About I-pin's crush on Hibari and Lambo's unrequited love for I-pin. He understood that it was tough for Lambo. Especially now. He knew the pain wasn't going to end. The journey was going to be a long one. And they all knew that.

"I-pin…" Kyoko started.

"I messed up didn't I? I… I should have thought about the consequences first." I-pin said.

She didn't even bother to cry. She knew that it was useless. And she was way tougher than that. Kyoko sighed, patting I-pin on the back.

"Do you love him?" I-pin's eyes widened when she heard this question.

"I-I don't! I mean… I…" I-pin sighed, burying her face in her hands, "I know how Lambo feels… I don't want to hurt him or anything. The child needs a father. I can't let he or she suffer just because of a mistake that I made… I may not love Lambo but it will change, right?"

Kyoko bit her lip. How could she respond to that question? There was no guarantee I-pin would fall in love with Lambo… Heck, it was extremely unlikely. I-pin loved Hibari. Everybody knew that.

"I-I'm sure it will change, I-pin!" Kyoko said.

There was an awkward silence after that. Kyoko was horrible at lying. Horrible. With skills like that, it was a miracle that she was still alive. Especially since she was involved with the mafia. I-pin stared at her own feet, expressionless.

"It hurts, Kyoko. I don't want to lose my friendship with Lambo because of this…" Kyoko smiled sadly.

"That's life, I-pin."

A/N: So that's the end of Chapter 2. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks applestoapples for reviewing and the advice. Chapter 3 should be coming up sometime next week or maybe tomorrow. Reviews would be greatly appreciated (:
