Pairings: Adult Tsuna and Adult Haru

LINE BREAK

Haru wakes up in her room, she slip off her slender legs from her bed and stretches her arms upward. She sighs. It had been 10 years later after her father has been accepted to be a teacher in Harvard University. Ten years since she moved from Japan to America. Her friends were all sad of course and there's a lot of tears and sob after her friends sends her and her family to the airport. Tsuna was not there, Kyoko-chan said he's not feeling well. Haru thought that she's not really important to him.

She opens her laptop seating on top of her well organized study table. A minute after she connects the Internet, a faint 'TING' was heard, signaling that she receives another message from her friends in Japan.

It's always been like this, she connects to her friends in Japan through Internet, she chats with them or video call them once every month. Kyoko-chan is her constant chat mate, they had an afternoon chat schedule everyday for the past ten years, and she would tell her everything about their friends except nine years ago, a year after her family migrated to America.

Kyoko-chan told her that Tsuna-san and the rest of his guardians are fighting a certain Enma-kun and his family and for the first time Kyoko-chan missed our daily chat, she apologized to Haru later on and told her that she's been helping Bianchi-san tend the injuries of Tsuna-san-tachi (Tsuna and everyone) and also the wound of Enma-kun and his family.

Tsuna-san and company won the fight according to Kyoko-chan and Enma-kun and his family were nearly taken by a scary looking people they call 'Vindice'. Haru can tell from Kyoko-chan's voice and face from the screen that those are mean people trying to get Enma-kun to a prison but Tsuna-san interferes, telling those mean-looking Vindice that Enma-kun and his family is also part of the Vongola family and if they insist of taking them away, Tsuna-san will declare a war between the Vongola and the Vindice.

Kyoko-chan told Haru after Tsuna-san said that, those Vindice people just chuckles and throw a notebook to Tsuna-san. Journal that looks like a notebook. They said that journal will tell the truth between Shimon and Vongola family. The truths were revealed and the misunderstanding issues between the two families were finally resolve and the two families were finally reunited again.

Haru sigh and tilted her head beside her. She wished she was there that time. She sighs again and started to read the ten new messages. Kyoko, Kyoko, Kyoko, Yamamoto, Bianchi, Bianchi, Chrome, Hana, Kyoko, Tsunayoshi. Haru pause and stared at the last username on her screen. Tsunayoshi. Tsuna-san... she whispered.

Tsuna rarely send Haru a message, maybe thrice a month or even twice a month only. Tsuna would only call her once a month and for the past ten years, he only visited her once and that was two years ago. She knows that Tsuna and Kyoko were dating since her best friend told her that.

The first and the last time he visited Haru was two years ago, Tsuna was leaning against his Ferrari red car park outside Haru's college university. Haru was shock to see Tsuna waiting outside her school.
She felt her heart leap with happiness after Tsuna flashes a soft smile at her.

"Hi," Tsuna greeted after removing the authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses off him. Haru smile at him.

"Hey," she said. "This is unexpected, Haru is surprise to see you here Tsuna-san, and do you need anything from Haru?"

Tsuna shook his head. "Do I need a reason to visit a friend?" he just said. Haru felt an invisible arrow strike right through her heart. Friend... Haru laugh without a humor. Long silence follows, Haru look down her sandals, avoiding Tsuna's gaze.

"Have a walk with me Haru," Haru jerk her head at Tsuna and frowns at him.

"Eh? B-but what about your car?" silly her, of all the things she can asks, Haru wanted to smack her forehead and blush at Tsuna which the latter answer a soft smile.

Tsuna chuckle at her and grabs her hand. "Don't worry, no one will steal me car," (unknown to Haru, Gokudera is inside the car watching them :P) he said and pulled Haru away from there. Haru let herself be pulled by Tsuna, doesn't matter where as long as she's with him, she's more than satisfied.

Haru lead the smiling Tsuna to her favorite crepe stand.

"This is Haru's favorite crepe store," she said and turns her head at the store lady. "One banana flavor please," she glances at Tsuna. "Tsuna-san, what flavors do you like?"

"Strawberry," he said. Haru nodded at him and order a strawberry flavor. Haru hums while waiting, unaware that Tsuna is staring at her with a soft and a distinct longing look, afterwards Haru handed the crepe to Tsuna.

They both walk while eating their own crepe. Tsuna offered some part to Haru, the young woman blush a little and shook her head as she softly and timidly refuse but the Vongola Boss insists of giving a part of his crepe to Haru. Haru smile shyly and took a small bite from Tsuna's crepe.

"Hmm! Haru didn't know strawberry is delicious too," she said. Haru stretched put her crepe at Tsuna with a deep red tinge across her cheek. "T-Tsuna-san here! You should taste Haru's favorite crepe too,"

Tsuna nodded and grab Haru hand, the one holding the crepe, and push the crepe closer to him, and he took a bite and was unaware of the stain of the creep on the side of his lips.

Haru chuckles at Tsuna, while the latter frown lightly. "What?"

"Tsuna-san, you have a stain on your face," Tsuna's hand automatically touches his lips. "No, no, on the other side," Haru raise her hand and wipes off the stain from Tsuna's lips.

"There, it's gone now," she said then she glances at Tsuna and caught him staring at her. Realizing that Haru caught him staring at her, Tsuna blush in deep red as well as Haru, the latter step backward from
Tsuna and avoided his eyes by taking another bite from her banana flavor crepe.

They both spend the whole day strolling around the shop district of Haru's new home. Tsuna bought some presents to the kids and to their friends. Haru bought a pink hairpin, she whines after Tsuna handed the money to the saleslady but she blushed when Tsuna place a finger on her soft lips and mouthed the word 'shhh' at her. Haru was still stunned at Tsuna's action and her cheek becomes redder after hearing the saleslady whispered 'How sweet'. Tsuna was unaware of that and gently grabs Haru away from the store after receiving his change.

Haru's hand unconsciously fingers the red hairpin on her head and let out a small smile which slowly fades afterwards, she slowly remembers how Kyoko-chan squealed as Tsuna finally ask her on a date after painstakingly waiting for years. Of course, Haru just smile and congratulate her best friend but deep inside she was hurting. Like hell.

Haru thought if she lives in America, she will start forgetting about Tsuna and find a nice guy to love her. Only her. But she failed, fails and continuously failing. She had never gotten her feelings for Tsuna no matter how many dates or boyfriends she had. Haru first click the message from Kyoko and read, only for her to halt hastily.

Dear Haru-chan,

Tsu-kun and I broke up. Well I was the one who broke up with him. I don't know, for the past years of being in a relationship with him, it felt like he was never with me even though he's by my side. I don't want to think this but I guess Tsu-kun is in love with someone else. I'm sorry for suddenly telling you this. I know you're busy with your college school and all. By the way, we missed you Haru-chan. Be safe.

Kyoko.

What? Tsuna-san is in love with someone else? That can't be true. Tsuna-san is really in love with Kyoko-chan but... what the heck? Haru panic and click the next message from Kyoko. It's a letter five hours after Kyoko's first letter to her.

Dear Haru-chan,

Just awhile ago, Tsu-kun asks me to meet him. I thought he's going to asks me stay with him but I was totally disappointed. Tsuna-kun said 'sorry' to me. He said that he really did love me but there is a girl who keeps on bugging his mind. He thought it was nothing so he continue to date with me but ever since he saw the girl after years of not seeing her, he finally concluded that he's in love with her. I don't know what to say to him, I only nodded at him.

Kyoko

Haru felt someone squeezes her heart painfully. Tsuna-san is in love with another girl. Another rival arrives. Haru sniff and wipes off the tears from her cheek using the back of her palm. She continues to click the next message from Kyoko, which she sends eight days after the second letter.

Dear Haru-chan,

I finally realize who's Tsuna-kun in love with. I know the girl and she's really close to me. I can finally said goodbye to Tsuna-kun with a smile too because I know he will be happy with that girl. By the way, don't you think Hibari-san is cute? :) Bye best friend missed you girl so much.

Kyoko

Oh my god, who was it? Who's the lucky girl Tsuna's in love with? Haru's head started to hurt. Someone who's close to Kyoko-chan. Was it Chrome-chan? Nah, Chrome is too... well... Chrome for Tsuna. Was it Hana-chan? Haru make face as she imagines Hana and Tsuna together. Nope not her too, besides Kyoko-chan told me that Hana-chan is dating Ryohei-nii. Haru pause and think of girl who is close to Kyoko. Don't tell me... Bianchi-san? Haru ruffles her already messy auburn hair. No! Bianchi is too old for Tsuna and beside she's really in love Reborn.

Haru sigh exasperatedly and stared with a frown on her screen. She decided to skip the message from Yamamoto, Bianchi, Chrome and Hana. She opens the last message from Kyoko, which she sends just yesterday. Haru misses two weeks of their daily chat.

Haah! Haru sigh after remembering the sufferings she had because of her thesis.

Dear Haru-chan,

How are you? You've been quiet recently and we are starting to get worry about you. I know you had a thesis working on but please don't strain yourself too much okay? Oh yeah, Tsuna-kun, Onii-chan, Hayato-kun and Takeshi-kun, they're all going to America next week. Onii-chan told me that they're in some kind of a mission. And Haru-chan, I'm already dating Kyouya-kun :) that was fast right? Onii-chan was so enrage and tried to have a boxing match with Kyouya-kun but Onii-chan ended but biting to death by Kyouya-kun :) tehee! Be safe and please I needed a reassurance that you're not working yourself to death okay?
Love you!

Kyoko

Wow, she did miss a lot of things, can't imagine Kyoko and Hibari dating each other. Opposite really attracts each other. Haru chuckles and click the REPLY and started to type her message to Kyoko.

Kyoko-chan,

Hi! Sorry about not replying to you, Haru is really preoccupied by her thesis and please don't worry about Haru. She's not killing herself with work, just a little. Just kidding! :P Haru missed you guys so much too and nice one! Dating that ferocious prefect, Kyoko-chan got guts! More power to the two of you. BTW who was it that Tsuna-san—

Haru halted after she heard their doorbell rings. She ignores it thinking that her mother is downstairs and will answer whoever is at the door. But after three rings of doorbell, Haru frowns. She immediately changes her pajamas in a red tank top and denim short and run towards the main door. She halted when a piece of paper drop down from door, Haru picks it up and read a small note from her parents.

Haru dear,

Tou-san and Kaa-san will be out to buy foods. Breakfast is ready on the table.

Mom and Dad

Haru pout at the note. "They didn't even wake Haru up, geez," she literally jumps when she heard the doorbell rings again. "Coming!" she calls out and runs her way towards the main door. She took a deep breath and opens the door only for her eyes to grow wider and gasps.

There stand before her is a man taller just a few inches than her, with spiky brown hair wearing a white long sleeves polo and a well-ironed black pants. The man holds a bouquet of flowers and a soft smile on his lips. Haru gap like a fish out of water at the young man before her.

"Hi," he greeted. Haru blink twice at the man.

"T-Tsuna-san?"

"Yep,"

"What are you doing here?"

Tsuna frowns at her; he's expecting that Haru will know that he's arriving today since he sends her a message via e-mail yesterday. The Sky ring bearer said nothing but instead he extends the flowers on his hands to Haru.

"Here," Haru is reluctant into accepting the flowers but she did took the flowers after Tsuna smiles at her, she felt her face heat up as she slowly accept the flowers from him. Haru's mind going wild. She's too self conscious at the moment. She tried to remember if she combs her hair and pouts secretly as she tried to comb her messy hair with her hand but she knows that it's already too late to look more 'presentable'. Did it even occur to her to comb her hair before answering the damn door? Haru bite her lower lip.

"Eto... (Uhmm…) A-are you with someone else?" Haru just said for the lack of any non-embarrassing question.

A hint of smile appeared on Tsuna's lips. "No one, just me," Tsuna answered and then a pause follow again. Realizing that they are still standing on the door way, Haru immediately widen the door to let Tsuna enter inside the house.

"Sorry... uhh... come in..."

Tsuna nodded and step inside the house, leading the young man to the living room, Haru gesture the couch at Tsuna. She gently places the flower down to the coffee table.

"Haru will go and get you a drink," she said and before Tsuna can refuse she hastily went to the kitchen. Inside the kitchen, Haru leans on the wall the separating the dining room to the kitchen. Tsuna-san gave Haru a flower! She cups her face, she badly wanted to squeal, scream or giggle in a very loud tone but of course she won't, she would only embarrass herself even more that it is. Haru immediately took two glasses from the cupboard and pour the already made juice into the glasses. She adjusted the pin on her hair and swiftly combs her hair using her hands.

She walks back to the living room with a tray on her hands. Noticing that she's already back, Tsuna turn his head at Haru, he immediately stand up and took the tray from Haru.

"Thanks," Haru said after Tsuna place the tray down the coffee table. Haru stared down her lap unable to utter anything, she hears Tsuna sigh several time as though he's the same as her unable to say what he wanted to say.

Haru felt Tsuna move closer to her and her heart start to pounder harder and louder inside her rib cage. She unconsciously took the glass of water and drink the glass straight. She can literally hear Tsuna's soft breathing next to her and that as if it sends sparks of electric current through Haru's spine.

"Haru..." Tsuna whispers her name and Haru automatically turn her head to Tsuna only to freeze all of a sudden. His face is closer than Haru imagine, she can feels Tsuna's breathing softly hitting her face, Haru felt her cheek turn into deep red.

"T-Tsuna-san...?" Tsuna hums at her but he keep on closing the small gap between them, Haru swallowed nervously.

"W-would you like cookies? Haru… uhh… baked it yesterday," she said in panic averting her face from him, she hastily stands up. "Haru will go get the cookies," she quickly took a step passing Tsuna but the latter suddenly grabs her wrist.

"Wait Haru please," he said and he unconsciously pulls Haru back to seat, Haru's left foot tangle on her right foot causing for her to drop her body down, but Tsuna was quick, he quickly grabs Haru for her to fall not to the floor but to his lap and with a faint 'yelp' Haru close her eyes tightly expecting to hit the floor not a soft and warm lap and arms.

"Haru! I'm sorry, did you hurt yourself?" Tsuna said in panic. Haru shook he head, still her eyes tightly close. Tsuna sigh of relief.

Haru slowly open her eyes and met the gentle brown eyes staring at her, Haru's face heat up. She is definitely cannot escape from this! She saw Tsuna's eyes trail down from her eyes to her nose and to her lips that is slightly open from the shock. Her heart leap of happiness with mixtures of fear when Tsuna slowly close the gap between their face.

Haru felt the time freezes as Tsuna gently place his soft lips on hers. Her body actually turns stiff as Tsuna move his lips as if telling Haru to respond. It took another two minutes when Haru finally melted down her defense, her hand unhurriedly went to Tsuna's brown hair, and her lips move to respond to Tsuna's kiss. She heard him moan when she finally return his kisses, her wide eyes slowly close and her one hand started to caress Tsuna's hair while the other is lightly wrap on Tsuna's neck. Tsuna slide his hand slide along Haru's back tracing the slender back of the young woman that sends shock waves through her vein, while the other is on Haru's nape, pulling her face for a deeper kiss.

Haru's turn to moan when little by little Tsuna's warm tongue forced itself to enter her damp cavern. Haru froze when she felt his tongue teases her own tongue, but she is a fast learner, she quickly answer the teasing she got from Tsuna.

Abruptly they both release each other after slowly they're lacking of air. Panting, Tsuna place his forehead on Haru's and planted a soft kiss on Haru's nose. With a red tinge on her lips, Haru close her eyes gently. Tsuna help Haru sit beside him.

"Haru... I wanted to tell you something and I just hope that you'll believe me." he slowly said staring deeply on her eyes, unaware, Haru nodded at Tsuna. The young boss sighs deeply.

"Years after you migrated to America, I thought that that won't affect me I mean I hardly had any feelings for you but I was wrong. Months had passed I admit to myself that I missed you, your company. Years had passed but I still kept thinking about you, you eyes, your smile. I was too stubborn to admit that my life is empty without you."

"I was hurt when Kyoko-chan once told me that you're already dating someone here, I was hurt so I rarely contact you thinking that you already found your happiness here, so I told myself it's time to move on, I started to date Kyoko-chan which everyone is expecting since I had a long time crush on her. We're happy I guess, but why is it that I cannot kiss her without your face popping inside my head?" he pause to wipe off the tears on Haru's cheek using his thumb. "Two years ago I went to see you to end up this madness, for me to totally move on, but I was so wrong. The moment I saw you walking outside your school... I... I finally resign myself that... I really am madly in love with you, I didn't just miss your company but I miss 'you'. Even Kyoko-chan notice the changes inside me and broke up with me, I didn't want to hurt her,"

Haru blink away the tears and clenched her fists on her lap. "I told her everything, I told her that I do love her once but there is this one girl that I love the most. I didn't tell her who was it but she later finds out who it was. I was expecting her to get mad at me but she didn't, she just smile and tell me to take care of 'her'," Tsuna pulls Haru into a hug when he heard her sob.

"I love you Haru... I just hope you feel the same way," he whispered in her ears. Haru slowly wrap her arms around Tsuna's neck while sobbing. How long she had waited for him to fall in love with her. How she waited for him to say those words to her.

I know the girl and she's close to me. She remembers the words from Kyoko-chan's letter. "I love you," Haru whispered, burying her face on Tsuna's neck.

"I know," Tsuna whispered back as he caresses the soft lock of Haru. He pulls Haru away from him and cups her small face, Tsuna kiss Haru's forehead, nose, he cheeks and lastly her lips which he stayed a little longer before placing his forehead on her's. "I'm sorry, it took me years before I admit that I love you,"

Haru shook he head and planted her hands on top of Tsuna's hands. "It's okay," Tsuna closes the gap between them and kiss Haru sweetly.

LINE BREAK

While finishing Haru's college, Tsuna connects to Haru through phone and chat, Haru's daily afternoon chat with Kyoko change into everyday chat with Tsuna. He would shower her with love letters he sends through e-mail, he would deliver flowers to her school and to her house which Haru really appreciated and she constantly let out giggles.

Kyoko and everyone visited her and spend three days in America, strolling around the famous spot of America. They constantly threw a teasing look at Haru and Tsuna while the two couple walks hand in hand especially Sawada Nana, Tsuna's mother. Months prior to Haru's graduation, Tsuna asks her to marry him, of course she gladly, and with tears, accepted it. After her graduation, Haru flew back to Japan and stating she wants to spend the rest of her life there with Tsuna. Her parents agree and say that maybe a year or two, they will follow Haru back to Japan after her father's retirement.

They had a wedding garden, Tsuna's family and close friends, including the retired Vongola Ninth Timoteo and his guardians, Dino and the Cevallone family, Enma and Shimon Family even the Xanxus and the rest of the Varia members were all invited in Tsuna's and Haru's wedding, CEDEF member especially Basil were all invited. Of course all of Tsuna's guardians are all present (even Kyouya), speaking of Kyouya, Kyoko continue to date him much to Ryohei's annoyance and dismay ehem it's a good thing Hana knows how to pacify the EXTREMELY over protective older brother of Kyoko. Iemitsu and Haru's father literally cry out throughout the wedding ceremony. Iemitsu cried that his baby boy is now all grown up; Haru's father mumbles that his baby girl looks pretty on the white halter wedding dress. Their wives, with a sweat drop, patted their husbands' back. Kyoko was the maid-of-honor, while Gokudera was Tsuna's best man.

LINE BREAK

Sawada Tsunayoshi, the Vongola tenth generation boss, smile softly as he watched the two babies sleeping peacefully inside the baby crib. Beside him is his wife Sawada Haru, watching her husband and their twins in awe. The baby girl with same shade of hair color as Tsuna let out a soft smile as Tsuna gently brushes a finger on his daughter's soft cheek. The baby boy with auburn hair like Haru lightly grabs the thumb of his mother, and let out a satisfied coo. Sawada Riku and Sawada Kaito, their six month old twin.

Tsuna chuckles and wrap his arms around his wife's waist and whispered something earning a giggles from Haru.

"Ti amo mia cara moglie," (I love you my dear wife)

"Ti amo troppo il mio caro Tsuna," (I love you too my dear Tsuna)
