Summary: You stole something from me. My heart. -Hayate Matsudaira

Disclaimer applies.


Hotaru held her temples; her head was aching again.

She didn't mean to bump into him today, nor was she planning to go to the Central Town with him. The inventor was originally planning to go to the hardware, buy something for her laboratory, buy some crabs and then go back to the school dormitory... alone. Not with him tailing on her tracks, insisting that he would carry all her things.

She let out a sigh.

"Cool Blue Sky, are you okay?" he asked her, his face nearing hers. The inventor frowned, uncomfortable of their closeness.

"Get away from me, Matsudaira or you won't see the sunrise tomorrow morning."

The wind alice user dramatically put his hand over his chest and said, "Your wish is my command, Cool Blue Sky~ You know I'll do everything for you even if I die!"

Hotaru rolled her eyes and started to walk away. He followed suit after, trying to keep up with her pace. Hayate was really happy that he saw her on his way to the Central Town. He immediately asked (begged) her if he could come with her.

He was humming a song, with a dreamy smile on his lips.

"Will you stop that?"

He looked at her, his eyes full of questions. "Eh? What?"

"Humming. It makes my head hurt," Hotaru said before walking away. Hayate was left there, standing on the middle of the road. The inventor looked back at him.

"Aren't you coming with me?"

A blush could be seen on the boy's face, and a goofy smile was on his lips.

"It's getting quite late. I need those for an invention I was planning to finish by tonight."

Hotaru's eyebrows rose as she looked at him. He just stood there, staring at her like he always did every time he saw her.

"You stole something from me," Hayate suddenly said.

"What?" As far as she knew, Hotaru never stole something from other people... unless necessary.

He grinned as he started to walk near her. He then said, "My heart."

The inventor felt her cheeks burning as they walked to the bus stop. Fortunately, the wind alice user beside her didn't notice the faint blush on both her cheeks.


A/N: HxH. I've been meaning to write one. HAHA. I ship them, too. Although RxH really wins my heart every time. XDD
