Shot Through The Heart
Broccoli And Eggs
1. Nice. With time, Lambo's temper softened and he became a charming young man. He's nice to everyone and, dare she say, especially nice to her.
2. Tap. Eyes wide with disbelief, Lambo watched as I-Pin's feet rapidly knocked the floor, swift and quick yet still utterly graceful.
The girl could tap-dance. Exquisitely.
3. Roses. He gave her white roses… soaked red with his blood. She looked at him, horrified and waiting for an explanation. "I'm taking from Gokudera-shi's book."
And then he passed out.
4. Gagged. The guard who had him trapped sneered at him while I-Pin was busy kicking butts. "Don't you feel ashamed, oh feared Vongola's Lightning, that a girl came to your rescue?" Lambo only grinned in response despite the gag.
No, especially when it's I-Pin.
5. Noisy. He always had been so damn noisy, even as a teenager. But then came Millefiore and ruined their lives and needless to say, seeing her best friend cold and lonely at his twenties, I-Pin missed his noisiness.
6. Cat. I-Pin liked to cuddle, Lambo discovered. She liked to curl up to him after a long stretch, and she notably purred when he stroked her hair as she drifted to sleep.
7. Blunder. He taunts, he's shown his error and then he cries on her shoulder. Lambo was a mess and she wouldn't have him any other way.
8. Cough. "Take this candy and get better okay?" Sniffing and teary-eyed, six-year-old Lambo offered his last piece of candy when he saw her sick. I-Pin smiled at the gesture, eating the candy and feeling herself getting better already.
9. Tender. She's a bit sharp around the edges and slightly energetic, but then when they are alone at night, he tortures her with lazy gentleness that makes her think that maybe she should learn to take things slow and savor them.
10. Kickass. Other families often underestimated them, they were only mere teenagers after all. As a team though, they proved everyone wrong, and they could've caused some property damage along the way.
11. Forgotten. He fears that one day, I-Pin will get sick of him. So he tries his hardest to catch up. He doesn't want to be forgotten by anyone let alone her.
12. Unforgivable. If there was one thing that made Lambo absolutely furious, it was seeing I-Pin getting hurt because of him, because of his weakness. It didn't matter if he was weaker than her in that moment, he just wanted her to stop hurting. And he will never forgive the person responsible for it.
13. Sinking. It hurts seeing your loved ones getting taken from you one by one. It hurts even more if you had only one of them left and seeing how he drowns in his sorrow as days passed by. So I-Pin sticks with him, fights along with him just like a captain loyal to his sinking ship.
14. Deal. "I won't do your homework for you, Lambo. Even if you gave me every single piece of candy in the world."
"How about a kiss then?"
"… On the forehead?"
"No, silly! On the cheek! Just like the movies!"
"What problems you wanted me to solve again?"
15. Friendship. For years and years, they were the best friends to each other. Even though they were a couple now, they never stopped being friends.
16. Smooth. He gently takes her hand, plants a kiss on it and smiles charmingly. "Would you honor me with the chance to go out with you?"
I-Pin simply blushes and nods with a yes.
She never realized how suave her friend was, that is, until he turned "the smooth" button on her.
17. Epiphany. He admired her for so long that he never questioned his feelings for her. Imagine his surprise when she smiled warmly at him one day and then realized that he really loved her all along.
Next up: Longchamp/Enma or Champ00.
