In Your Eyes

Hayato Gokudera

For GDlove

Shirae was frozen in shock from what she was hearing.

There was another giggle from in the room before a familiar voice was heard.

"Gokyun! You're so sweet!" said the melodic but slightly raspy voice.

Shirae recognized it as the 19 year old hitwoman/ doctor-in-training named Emily Toca.

"Would you be quiet!" growled the rough voice of the 14 year old mafioso known as Gokudera Hayato.

Shirae tried her best not to burst into the room and demand what was going on. She also mentally cursed herself for putting herself in this situation. If she hadn't tried to practice her spying skills she could have avoided this all together.

"But your too damn cute Gokyun." The girls began. "I can't help but love you."

Love him?

Gokudera didn't answer, at first.

Then there was the sound of him sighing.

"Just tell me if you like it..." the chain smoker mumbled.

Shirae could just imagine the look on his face.

Flustered and red with a childish pout that he would never admit to doing. It was a face she love to make him do when she teased him.

And with that face in mind she could now imagine her face.

Her maroon eyes staring down at the younger boy while happy smile graced her face.

"I love it." she said. "It's beautiful."

The spy suddenly felt the feeling of being sick, and knew that she might just be if she didn't leave soon.

"Dammit!"

Her hands quickly covered her mouth and she mentally cursed herself out.

"Huh?" Emily let out. "Did you hear something?"

Gokudera let out a scoff.

"I didn't hear anything." he growled.

Shirae thanked her lucky stars and left just as quickly and quietly as she came.

XxXxX

Shirae wondered what it was about the sound of a baseball meeting a bat that seemed to calm her down.

Maybe it was because it's what she really wanted to do.

Take a baseball bat and hit something that is.

"Hey there Shi-chan" said the cheery voice of a certain baseball fanatic.

Yamamoto had immediately noticed when the girl had entered the batting cages. It wasn't hard to considering the depressing vibes the golden browned haired was letting out.

The girl vision turned to look at the taller boy.

One hand holding a half empty bottle of water while the other held his bat.

"Showing off?" she asked gesturing to the bent up stick of metal, her face wearing a false smile.

"Ah!" he let out with surprise. "I didn't even notice." he grinned earning a blank look from the girl.

"Takashi, you honestly worry me." the spy let out making said boy laugh before taking a long sip of water.

"So what's wrong Shi-chan?" the baseball loving boy asked catching her completely off guard.

Which that, in itself, was a hard thing to do.

"What do you- Oh forget it." she huffed before surging forward and tackling the boy.

Yamamoto didn't budge an inch at the impact.

"He's in love with Emily!" Shirae cried out almost painfully.

He knew immediately what she meant, or really, WHO she meant.

"Gokudera and E-chan?" he repeated. "Are you sure?"

He heard her muffle something into his shirt and assumed it was a yes.

"E-chan is 19, almost 20..." the boy stated looking up in thought. "Thats...6 years apart..."

"HE LIKES OLDER WOMEN!" Shirae screamed at the top of her lungs caused the few people in the batting cages to turn immediately in her direction.

Yamamoto was sure that wherever Emily was, she was bursting into tears.

"N-Now, now." he began. "E-chan isn't that old." the boy defended only to earn a glare from the girls dark pupil-less eyes.

"What?" she spat. "You like her too?"

The rain guardian was suddenly very intimidated by the smaller girl.

"N-not like that." Yamamoto stuttered out. "But E-chan knows you like Gokudera, she wou-"

"THAT BACKSTABBING WHORE!"

There were a few gasped from mothers with their children and some who were listening intently to the discussion like it was a soap opera.

"S-Shi-chan, calm down." the boy tried to reason.

"NO!" she yelled."What does miss Emily Jane Toca have that I don't!" she stated with a mocking tone added to the for mentioned girl's name.

The golden brown haired girl pulled away and began to pace.

"Besides the fancy ass name, job, and car!" she growled.

"Shirae."

"Emily is a complete dunce! She's studying to be, what was it?, A DOCTOR!" the spy scoffed and flipped her hair.

"Pfft, like that's so cool, anyone can be a doctor!" the 14 year old continued. "I'm a SPY, now that takes talent!"

"Shirae people are staring..."

"And, what, Emily can speak Spanish? I speak ITALIAN!" she turned to face the slightly embarrassed boy. "Emily is fat!"

Yamamoto sighed.

"Have you seen that belly pooch she has!"

"Don't all Hispanics have that?"

"It's gross and not attractive! And she gives the excuse that it won't go away no matter how much she works out!" Yamamoto watched as the dark haired girl punched a garbage can.

"SHE'S LAZY TOO!"

"Alright Shi-chan, lets get you home." the rain guardian decided, hoisting the still ranting girl over his shoulder.

"AND HER EYES ARE FREAKISHLY BIG!"

XxXxX

"I'm sorry about yesterday Takashi..." Shirae apologized to the taller boy.

Yamamoto laughed cheerfully.

"I's ok, you were upset." he said watching the spy bow.

"Y-yeah..." she let out making light brown eyes stare at her form.

Normally no one would have noticed such subtle changes in the girls demeanor. Her shoulders slightly more slumped then usual. The certain glow she always had in her eyes that was now missing. Even her hair was missing it's particular shine.

She was really heartbroken...

"Say Shi-chan." the boy said getting the girls attention.

Pupil-less dark brown stared up at light brown.

"Why don't you come with me to the batting cages?" the boy suggested confusing the smaller girl.

"But I can't swing like that." she answered making the boy smile and take her small hand into his much larger one.

"I'll teach you." he said pulling her along.

Before Shirae knew what happened she was locked in a cage with a baseball bat and helmet that was a little to big for her.

"You can do it!" Yamamoto shouted, his voice full of encouragement.

"T-Takeshi, I'm going to die." the golden brown haired girl whimpered.

He smiled and laughed cheerily.

"No you won't " the boy said. "Just picture the baseball as your problems and just go WAM! SHWOOM! KAPOW!" he continued making a swinging motion with his hands.

She stared at him with a blank face only to be as the hum of a motor started. Shirae realized that there was no going back now.

Her hands tightened and gripped the bat tightly while letting out a fierce growl.

The machine shot out a ball and as per Yamamoto's advice she pictured her troubles and swung the bat hitting the ball on point.

XxXxX

It has been almost a month since what was now just named the incident. And to be honest, Shirae hadn't been thinking about it as much as she thought she would.

Not that she didn't care, just that Yamamoto seemed to be doing a very good job of distracting her.

"Takashi, are we still on for the batting cages?" the girl asked cheerily as class ended for the day. Her pupil-less dark brown eyes watched as the baseball boys teammates nudged and teased at him.

Though said boy remained blissfully unaware of his friends antics.

"Sure thing Shi-chan!" he answered with his usual amount of energy making the spy grin happily.

"I can't wait!" she cheered gathering her things.

She was interrupted by a scoff and felt the olive green glare of Gokudera Hayato. The golden brown haired girl had noticed him glaring at her a lot lately.

She wondered if he had heard about her little fit at the batting cages the month before...

"Ohayo Shi-chan." came the delicate voice of Kyoko.

Shirae turned and smiled at the golden haired girl.

"Hello Kyoko, what's up?" she asked.

The golden haired girl smiled and giggled softly.

"I just wanted to know if you were going to the school dance?" she let out softly.

Shirae stared at the girl blankly.

"I didn't even know there was a dance." she said.

"It's for plot convenience." Kyoko stated making the other girl nod slowly. "It's on Friday and everyone is allowed to bring a date."

"I see, well I generically say no." Shirae answered.

She didn't want an excuse to see Emily and Gokudera flaunting their relationship.

Kyoko frowned genuinely disappointed.

"Ok then..." she let out. "But promise to think it over at least once..."

Shirae sighed, but none the less agreed so as to make her way over to the batting cages.

Once there the girl quickly rented her equipment and got enough tokens for her and Yamamoto to share.

The golden brown haired spy was half way through her third round when wonder boy showed up.

"Did you know about the dance on Friday?"

The girl whacked a ball extra hard.

"Yeah, the plot convenience one." she said trying to focus on the machine in front of her.

Yamamoto's face held the same cheerful smile as always.

"We should go" he said earning a grunt from the girl. "Together"

"Wha- HOLY SHIT!" The girl shouted ducking quickly to avoid getting hit by a ball making the boy chuckle.

"So?" he asked as the machine came to a stop.

Shirae got up hesitantly, just in case the machine hadn't actually stopped.

"Are you serious?"

He nodded and they stared for a bit before the girl smiled.

"Alright."

XxXxX

It's Friday.

And Shirae stood next to Yamamoto.

"You look nice." the boy complimented making her smile.

"So do you."

He stuck out his arm and she took it, then the walked into the lively gym.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time, Shirae even spotted a nervous Tsuna dancing with Kyoko.

How he managed to get her as a date she would probably never know.

Dark pupil-less eyes moved around the room until they found a familiar hair of silver. And as she thought, the dirty brown haired girl was with him.

A smile was gracing her slightly tanned face as she chatted with Ryohei, Colonnello (who Ryohei most likely brought), and Reborn (who most likely snuck in).

Suddenly wide maroon eyes met pupil-less dark brown making the girl realize that she was staring.

Shirae panicked and turned away just as a dumb grin graced the older girls face as she turned to the silver haired boy.

"Shirae?"

Said girl turned towards the voice thankful for the distraction.

"Let's go get some punch." the spy said pulling her date to the opposite side of the room.

Yamamoto nodded and followed. He quickly poured her a glass before some teammates of his pulled him away to talk leaving her alone.

"Oi" a familiar voice growled making the girl visibly cringe.

"Gokudera." she said instead of her usual 'Hayakyun~'.

This made the boy glare slightly.

"Why are you avoiding me." the storm guardian stated bluntly making the girl roll her eyes and take a drink of punch.

"I'm not." she answered curtly.

The olive eyed boy growled.

"Yes you are!" he shouted. "You've been ignoring me and hanging out with that baseball idiot!"

Shirae crushed the plastic cup in her hand out of anger.

"Takashi is not an idiot!" she yelled back at the chain smoker. "Just mind your own business." she hissed narrowing her dark orbs before letting out a huff and turning to join for mentioned boy.

But in an instance the golden brown haired girl found herself spinning in the opposite direction and into the chest of the silver haired boy.

"G-Gokudera!" Shirae stuttered out, a crimson blush painting her face. "L-let me go!" she cried trying to push away only find herself trapped by his arms.

"Dammit let me go before Emily sees!" she growled. "Think about how she must feel seeing this!"

Gokudera raised a brow and his head tilted slightly.

"What?" he let out. "Who cares about what that woman thinks."

Shirae gasped and her hand shot out connecting with his pale cheek. Gokudera's hands immediately went to his face giving the upset girl a perfect chance to escape outside.

"Shirae!" he heard him call, but she didn't stop. "Dammit woman stop!" she heard again only making her quicken her pace.

She made it outside and didn't even stop as her body shook a bit from the cold air.

"Dammit Shirae!" Gokudera reached her and grabbed her arm pulling her back. "What the hell is your problem!"

She turned to hit him again, but he was ready and caught her fist.

"What's my problem!" Shirae yelled. "My problem is that you're a double timing asshole!" she screamed making the boy take a slight step back.

"Wha-"

"Woah, woah, woah." came the slightly raspy but melodic voice of Emily. The teens turned to see that said girl had followed them out bringing the blond Arcobaleno with her. "What the hell is going on here?" asked the Hispanic girl.

Shirae growled and ripped her arm out of Gokudera's grip.

"What's going on is that your boyfriend is cheating on you!" she shouted.

Emily tensed, her maroon eyes going wide with fear.

"W-what?" she let out before unexpectedly turning to the blue eyed baby. "Y-your cheating on me Nello?"

Colonnello's eyes were wide as he stared up at Emily.

"No way!" he shouted. "I would never cheat on you, kora!"

Shirae was staring blankly at the two.

"W-wait...I..." she stared in between the couple in question. "Isn't Gokudera your boyfriends?"

Emily and Gokudera both went into shock.

"What! Hell no!" they two chimmed.

Shirae was officially confused.

"But...I...I heard you two." the girl felt her head starting to hurt. "You said you loved him a-and...Gokudera was giving you a gift..."

The storm guardian scoffed.

"Where the hell did you hear th-" Emily gasped interrupting the gruff boy.

"She must have over heard us." the 19 year old let out making Colonnello growl.

"What the hell do you mean, kora!"

Emily turned to him.

"The day Gokudera showed me the bracelet."

The 4 mafia members seemed to quiet down after that. The only thing heard was the wind and the music from inside the gym.

"So...Gokudera and you...aren't a couple?" Shirae repeated slowly.

"No." Emily answered. "No we aren't." then she smiled. "In fact, I think you and Gokyun need to talk." she said picking up the rain Arcobaleno.

"Let's go Nello, I wanna get one of those cookies with the M&M's in them."

"That's gonna be your third one, kora. Your gonna get fat if you keep eating those."

"Oh shut your mouth."

And then there were two.

And a shit load of awkward silence...

"...I...I'm sorry about hitting you..." the girl began.

The bomber shrugged as he dug into his pocket and took out a cigarette.

"It's fine." he said lighting the cancer stick and taking a long drag. "I guess I might as well come out with it." he continued while going into his pockets once again bringing out a long black box.

"That's for you." he said tossing it over to the girl.

She caught it with less grace then usual, took a look at him, and then opened it up.

Shirae gasped.

It was a bracelet, as she thought it would be. But it was so beautiful and yet simple.

It was made of black leather but woven with a small silver chain. On it hung a single ruby red gem.

"Goku-"

"Don't." he said, his olive orbs burning. "That's not my name."

Shirae was frozen over and could only watch as he walked over to her and placed one hand behind her neck and the other on her cheek.

"H-Hayakyun?"

"Your so dense sometime."

And then his lips met hers in a passionate kiss.

Emily: Sorry Sorry Sorry about the hold up guys. I haven't forgotten I've just been busy.

Rin: Yeah, she got an internship at a Marine Biology lab at Florida International University (FIU) so her schedule has een full.

Emily: I haven't even been hanging with my friends so cut me some slack ok.

Rin: Never.

Emily: :I Whatever, anyways this one was for a girl on quizilla so the writing sucks. But meh, OH about my OC being in it (and being paired with Colonello) it was a request from Love. She asked for my character to be involved in hers, and to be paired with Nello *shrug* don't know why it was him she chose but whatever.

Rin: Ah well, see ya later.
