Hi everybody! How is everyone doing? I hope you are doing well. It has been been a long time since I last posted here. I have been busy I am currently experiencing a writer's block. To be honest, it has been a long time since I have read the Katekyo Hitman Reborn! that I almost forgot some of the elements in this fanfiction, so I have to read it again and watch 5986 AMVs in Youtube again to get inspiration. I'll try to write as much as I can because I promised that to myself.
I would like to thank those who fave'd my story, and to those who gave it a review, and even followed it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Anyway, here's the chapter two of "May I?" It seems like drama is brewing up again between these two. Hayato got pissed off at Haru and walked out on her due to a misunderstanding.
Please review it, I would appreciate it a lot. Katekyo Hitman Reborn and its characters belong to Akira Amano. Ciao ciao!
Target 2: "It's not what you think!"
"It's because Haru is also Gokudera-san friend!"
Why am I asking you that for, anyway?
"I am Tsuna-san's future wife! I will be the ideal wife for him! I will do anything for Tsuna-san!"
Tenth this, Tenth that. Can't she say anything else?
"Hayato Gokudera, Haru is concerned about you!"
Tch, stupid woman, of course I am also concerned for you!
Miura Haru.
She can be very annoying, her "Ha-hii!" being his pet peeve every time he hears it, or when she wears her hilarious cosplays, or whenever they argue every time they tutor the Tenth with his lessons along with Reborn. Speaking of the Tenth, she can be most annoying whenever she claims to be the Tenth's future wife.
He does not have anything against Tsuna; he highly regards him as the tenth generation boss of the Vongola; he just can't stand it whenever that woman pops out of nowhere to get the Tenth's attention. Isn't it obvious that the Tenth will never see her as beyond friends, that he likes Lawn Head's younger sister Kyoko?
Why can't she find something else better to do, or someone else to dedicate her attention to?
...
Truth be told, Hayato has a trouble expressing his true feelings. He didn't mean to be so harsh to her. He scratched his head irritatingly. Miura Haru. There is something about her that always pisses him of. She can be very annoying, and yet, she can be irresistible.
After so much thought, he gave in to his conscience. He sighed heavily.
"Fine, I have to apologize to her."
He turned to the sliding door from the backyard where the Sawada household laundry is left to dry back to the living room. Thirty minutes has passed since he retired the room earlier. He scanned the surroundings and noticed that it was quiet. There she was sitting still on the couch with her back facing him. He decided that this is the perfect time to apologize to her, because he does not have the courage to confront her face-to-face.
"Oi, Miura Ha-Ha-Haru, you see, about earlier—"
"..."
"I was being an ass, for saying that to you..."
"..."
"Hey! Why wouldn't you even—"
He paused when he noticed that Haru was not even budging, so he walked towards her.
"Mmm... Blueberry cheesecake..."
He paused. What did she just said?
She even fell asleep here in Tenth's house! How rude!
"Ah, I would dress up as a slice of blueberry cheesecake next time...mmm..."
She is even speaks senseless things while sleep talking!
He decided to lay her down the couch, but as he approached her he noticed her face, stared at it, and laughed. "What a stupid face, but at least she isn't drooling." Haru's mouth is slightly opened. Perhaps, she passed out from sleepiness after waking up so early that morning and all that fuss that happened earlier. He kneeled down by her side by her feet. He decided to check her ankle. However, as he tried to touch her feet, Haru squirmed.
"Ha-hii! That tickles!"
"Are you awake already?"
"..."
"It seems you're just sleep talking, eh?"
Haru remained silent for minutes. Hayato maintained the silent while massaging her ankles. Afterwards, his eyes moved from her feet slowly to her face. He paused to examine the fullness of her profile: her round eyes, flushed cheeks, and tinted lips—the closest he can get to see her face. The longer he stared at it, the more he finds himself drawn to it. Absentmindedly, his right hand moved to caress her face; her cheeks soft against its scars he acquired from trainings and his battles. Somehow, his hands are not that painful that day, at that moment.
"Forgive me, Haru," he sighed.
Then, he noticed dried tear streaks on her face.
Haru began to stir from her sleep and her brown eyes squinted from the sudden surge of light. For a moment, brown eyes locked on green eyes, dazed. Hayato felt warm to his face, flustered. All of a sudden, the tears that began to well up on the side of her eyes and slipped down to his hands still cupped to her cheeks.
"...Tsuna-san?"
Hayato gasped. He flinched at the name that the woman she adores muttered. Then it struck him.
Even in her dreams, the moment she wakes up, it is still the Tenth.
"You two seem to get along well," a smiling Kyoko Sasagawa spoke.
"K-K-K-Kyoko-chan?!" Haru exclaimed as she saw her. Her sleepy eyes began to widen to a full consciousness. Her face turned red as she stared back to the green eyes in front of her.
Hayato came back to his senses as he felt a sharp pain from slap on his face.
"Ha-hii! W-w-w-w-what are you doing?!"
"It's not what you think it is!"
"What are you doing? Get off me!"
Hayato scrambled and pulled his hands and himself away from Haru as far as possible.
"I can see Gokudera-kun took care of you well, you seem to be lively already."
"I did not do anything to her!"
"You were too engrossed on Haru, you didn't notice me, so maybe something is going on."
"It's not what you think!" the two cried in unison.
"I saw e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, so you do not have to deny it."
"Oh, good morning, Reborn-kun," Kyoko greeted the Arcobaleno as he jumped to her arms.
"Ciaossu."
"Reborn-san! I thought you were out with the Tenth—"
"That was just a decoy."
"What?"
"For a genius, you are pretty much stupid, Gokudera," Reborn smirked, "You looked stupid with the way you looked at her while she was sleeping."
"Reborn-san, please don't say such embarrassing things! Gokudera-san does not see me that way!"
"Yeah, that's not true! I just d-d-ddid it because t-t-the Tenth asked me to, that's all!"
Haru fell silent. She bit her lip and her body shook. She clenched her fists and tried to support herself to get up the couch. She lost her balance a bit but she held on tight to anything within reach. Hayato dashed to support her but she stared at him with dismissive determination, shook her head, and yanked her elbows away from him. Crippled as she is, she continued walking. "Reborn-san, please tell Tsuna-san that I am thankful of his hospitality by letting me stay here at his house to rest. I have to go. Bye-bye!" Kyoko caught her just in time when she was about to fall off again and assisted her as she left the room, with Reborn following them, leaving Hayato by himself.
End of part two.
