Chapter 3
"So… what now?" Yamamoto asked the two thinking on what to do since Tsuna is gone. They were startled on the sudden noise.
"KYOKUGEN!!" It was Ryohei holding a bottle of wine. He challenged many men and they all lost.
Gokudera's eye twitched at the sight.
"Haha, that's our senpai." Yamamoto laughed
"That man never gives up." Gokudera said with an irritated smile on his face.
Ryohei spotted their group and challenged Gokudera and Yamamoto on a drink-off.
"Oi, Yamamoto, tako-head, I challenge you two in a contest. Whoever finishes his bottle of wine will be his servant for the rest of the night." announced Ryohei.
"G-gomen, senpai. I really don't drink and I have baseball practice tomorrow."
"Ok then. How about you, tako-head?"
"Who are you calling tako-head, turf-top?" You can almost see his veins on his forehead.
"Tch. I have nough of this." He turned away and was leaving but…
"Awww… Tako-head must be scare." Gokudera stopped and stood still. His aura darkening everytime Ryohei says something.
'That was strike 1' Yamamoto and Haru thought as if they could read each others minds.
"Tako-head must be scared to lose to a EXTREME guy like me."
Strike 2
"Or is it he's just a chicken."
Strike 3. He's out!
"It's on, lawn-head!!! And if I win, don't ever fucking mock me." Gokudera snapped and got a bottle of wine.
"W-wait, Gokudera-san!" Haru was trying to stop him
"Shut up, stupid woman!"
"Hahi!" Haru's not stupid!" she growled at him furiously.
"Maa… ma, let's just leave him be. We can't stop him at his state."
"B-but…"
"Haha. Let's just cheer for him, ne?" he chuckled and that made her blush and looked away. She just nodded.
Everyone was cheering for the 2 opponents. They were drinking as if they were so thirsty.
'I know this is a bad idea but might as well enjoy the fun.'
Few hours later…
"I knew that this was a bad idea." Haru repeated.
"Tch. Just shut up, stupid woman." he said.
Yamamoto and Haru helped him together in to a room. They laid him down on a soft bed and turned on the lamplights.
"Haha, he got really drunk didn't he and even senpai. But it's too bad it's a draw."
"Yeah. You said it, Yamamoto-san." She stood up and thank him.
"If you need me, just call me, okay?" he gave her a big grin. Again, she blushed and can't look at him straight.
'Why can't I look at Yamamoto-san straight. Yamamoto-san must've hate me by now' she thought.
"Don't worry. I'll be back."
"Hai. Thanks again Yamamoto-san. Haru will take care of the rest."
"Okay. Bye." And he left.
She continued. "Now, who's the stupid one." She sat at the edge of the bed. She took off his shoes and untie his tie so he feels more comfortable to sleep. Her eyes wandered off on his face. She stared at him for a little while.
'I never thought that Gokudera-san has a handsome face when he's not scowling all the time and when he's asleep. His hair is so soft, his cheeks are flushed and his lips are so…'.
"Hahi?!" 'What was Haru thinking. Wahh!! Haru's a perverted girl!' she thought almost getting crazy. She got up.
"Haur better tuck Gokudera-san in."She pullued the blankets and covered only half of his body. When she's almost leaving, someone pulled her from behind and she fell on the bed.
"Eh? Gokudera-san! I thought you were asleep. Hahi? W-what are you doing Gokudera-san? W-wait!!" she was surprised at his sudden actions. He was straddling on her hips, holding her hands with his, he as above her.
"M-matte, Gokudera-san."
She was caught off guard by his emerald eyes. It was so intense. He was looking at her with those serious eyes. It was like he was sending her a message or something like that. Haru didn't spoke a word because her face was telling everything that she felt. She was furiously blushing, her eyes widened, her heart was beating faster and faster by the second. Then, she noticed him leaning forward but slow.
"M-matte, Gokudera-san wake up! Mattte!" she almost screamed her lungs out but no one was around to hear her. She's trying to get loose from his grip but he was too strong. She shut her eyes, hoping for his next move but…
"Hahi?"
She found him burying his face on the bed and it seems he fell asleep again. She sighed in relief and quickly left the room. She closed the door and leaned backwards to it. She was panting and felt her chest beating unusually.
'Is it from the running to leave immediately or is it when he…' "Waah!! Haru doesn't even want to think about it." She said to herself. She was tiered after all that and went to her room to sleep.
----
"Wait, Tsuna-san, matte!!"
"I'm sorry, Haru. It's not you, it's me. I'm the problem. I can't protect you anymore. Goodbye." He said as he turned back.
"Don't leave, Tsuna-san. Please don't leave me." tears flowed to her pale cheeks.
"Tsuna-san!!!"
"Goodbye, goodbye…" his voice echoed as he walked away and there was a sudden sound.
"Good- Haru, Haru, Haru wake up!" She opened her eyes and gasped.
"Haru, are you alright?" the man in front of her asked worriedly.
"Tsuna…-san" her body and voice was shivering from the frightening nightmare.
Haru hugged him tightly, crying, scared that she might loose sight of him.
"It's okay now. The nightmare is over. Don't worry. I'm here." Tsuna was trying to comfort her to stop crying.
"But you were leaving and said that you can't be with me anymore. I was so scared." He broke away and holds her face with both of his hands.
"Silly girl. Didn't I said that I'll be always by your side and promised that I'll be back by morning and here I am. So stop crying already." wiping her tears with his thumb.
"Or else you'll get uglier."
"Hahi? Tsuna-san!" she wined like a little girl.
"I'm just glad that you're safe and sound. So how was the party last night? Was it fun?"
"Y-yes, it was" she shuddered. 'If you think that watching guys get drunk is fun then I would say yes.'
"Really now? It's a shame Hibari-san didn't join in and I Saw Gokudera-kun sound asleep. And I wasn't there to enjoy it either because of some stupid business to take care of." 'I never liked to be a mafia boss but I'm here now so what can I do.' he thought.
Haru remembered everything that happened last night. A weird conversation with Hibari. That stupid contest and when Gokudera…
She shook her head and punched it hoping the thoughts would get lost somehow.
"No. Hibari-san was there and Yamamoto-san, Gokudera-san and I had a really great time and yeah, it's really a shame that you were not there, Tsuna-san." She said as she was blushing.
"Come on. Let's eat breakfast. I'll wake up Gokudera-kun so he can join us.
"Hai!" she cheerfully agreed.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Do you need a ride to school? I can drive for you, you know.
"Arigato, Tsuna –san."
