Chapter 12
They were about to kiss when they suddenly heard the MC.
"Now, how about a performance from our very own, Frau Andre Zehel?"
Frau's smiling face suddenly appeared in Haru's mind.
Haru snapped out of it and pushed Tsuna.
"This is wrong. I don't love you anymore. Don't mess with my head, Sawada."
"I just recently finished this song with the help of my awesome girlfriend, Haru. I hope all of you like it."
A familiar music suddenly started.
"Wait. I told him that there's still something lacking from it. Frau!"
Haru looked at Tsuna and thought, 'Did he see Sawada follow me here? Damn. He might have thought that I'm leaving him. This can't be. I have to do something.'
(Sad Song-We the Kings ft. Elena Coats)
You and I,
We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky.
With you, I'm alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide.
So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
'That's it! That's what's lacking. It's not a solo. It's a duet. I have to get there! I'll just think of the lyrics on the spot. Frau, I'm coming. Wait for me.'
Haru took Tsuna's coat and shoved it at his chest. When she was sure that Tsuna was holding the coat, she turned to leave but Tsuna held her wrist.
"Let go of me, Sawada."
"Haru, I'm not giving up on you."
"Let go of me, Sawada! Frau needs me right now!" Haru forcible took her wrist and ran towards the ballroom."
Tsuna was left there standing. 'I guess you still choose Frau but at least I know you still love me. I'm not giving up, Haru.'
Tsuna walked back to the ballroom too.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
*Haru arrived at the ballroom and quickly went to the backstage*
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
*She saw a man there and demanded a mic from him that he gave without any protests*
I'm just a sad song.
*Haru went to the stage and started to sing that surprised Frau and all of the guests*
With you I fall.
*Frau mouthed to her, "What are you doing?" and Haru just smiled at him and winked*
It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes up on the wall.
With you I'm a beautiful mess.
It's like we're standing hand in hand with all our fears up on the edge.
*Haru walked towards a still surprised Frau and held his hand while Frau smiled at her lovingly*
So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
*Frau and Haru looked at each other like there was no one around them*
You're the perfect melody,
The only harmony
I wanna hear.
You're my favorite part of me,
With you standing next to me,
I've got nothing to fear.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song.
Tsuna just walked in and saw Haru and Frau who were about to kiss.
"Hey! Frau! A little respect here! The older brother is watching. I don't want to see you kissing my sister."
Haru pouted at her brother while Frau just laughed it off.
'Good timing, Calvin-san. I wouldn't want to see them like that.'
Tsuna smiled gratefully at Calvin but was surprised when he looked at him and smiled.
'Did he do it for me?'
The question on his head was left unanswered because the crowd in front of the stage started yelling.
"Kyoko-chan, why are they all screaming?"
"Oh. Tsuna, you're here. It seems Frau will sing another song."
"Juudaime, what happened?"
"We talked but it's only for a while. She went here for Frau."
Everyone looked down feeling sorry for Tsuna.
"But at least now I know that she still loves me. I'm not giving up anytime soon. I'm counting on all of you for help."
Tsuna smiled at his friends and they all looked up delighted to hear what Tsuna just said.
"Now, what happened a while ago wasn't expected. That song was supposed to be a solo but my cute little Haru decided to make it a duet. Why don't you stay down there and watch me perform?"
Frau carried a giggling Haru and put her down in front of the stage.
Frau removed his coat and handed it to Haru. He loosened his necktie and opened the first three buttons of his polo.
"Let's get this started, shall we?"
Frau smiled sexily at the crowd and the crowd including Haru screamed in delight.
(Lucky Strike-Maroon 5)
You're such a motivator, gotta get your way
So sick of saying yes sir, yes sir
You're such an instigator, you wanna play the game
Take it or leave it, that's her, that's her
*Frau pointed at Haru and smirked*
And I can't wait another minute
I can't take the look she's giving
Your body rocking, keep me up all night
One in a million
My lucky strike
Got me so high, and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep me up all night, this is what it sounds like
Oh oh oh my lucky strike
Oh oh oh my lucky strike
Your body rocking, keep me up all night
One in a million, my lucky strike
*Frau looked at Haru and winked at her*
Stuck in her elevator, she take me to the sky
And I don't wanna go down, go down
She said I'll feel you later, go ahead and fantasize
She make me want her right now right now
And I can't wait another minute
I can't take the look she's giving
Your body rocking, keep me up all night
One in a million
My lucky strike
Got me so high, and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep me up all night, this is what it sounds like
Oh oh oh my lucky strike
Oh oh oh my lucky strike
Your body rocking, keep me up all night
One in a million, my lucky strike
Hey, you're taking all my pain away
You're shaking like an earthquake
Hey, you're taking all my pain away
You're shaking like an earthquake
Got me so high, and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep me up all night, this is what it sounds like
Oh oh oh my lucky strike
Oh oh oh my lucky strike
Your body rocking, keep me up all night
One in a million, my lucky strike
My lucky strike, my lucky strike
Your body rocking, keep me up all night
One in a million
The crowd started yelling. "Encore. Encore. Encore."
"Okay okay. But this will be the last one. I'll need the help of my precious Haru for this song though."
Frau winked at her but Haru smirked at him.
"Hmm. I'll think about it. If you can make me think that it'll be fun to help you then I'll help."
"You're on, Haru."
Frau smiled and removed his necktie and polo and gave it to Haru.
The crowd started to be wilder and screamed louder at the sight of Frau's upper body and his delicious looking abs.
Haru just laughed at her boyfriend's antics.
(Moves Like Jagger-Maroon 5)
Oh, yeah
Oh!
Just shoot for the stars
*He formed his fingers like a gun and pointed at the crowd*
If it feels right
*His fingers are now pointing to his heart*
And aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away and make it OK
I swear I'll behave
*Frau kneeled in front Haru as if begging her to sing with him*
You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
*Frau made the I'm-watching-you gesture*
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
Maybe it's hard
When you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I'll make you believe
That I've got the key
Oh
So get in the car
We can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here (Oh! Yeah yeah!)
And it goes like this (Uh)
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you (Uh)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you (Oh, yeah)
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
*Frau went near Haru and offered her a hand*
With them moves like Jagger
*Haru smiled, gave Frau's clothes to Athena, took his hand, went up the stage, took the mic and sang with him*
I've got the moves like Jagger (Yeah yeah)
I've got the moves like Jagger
You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, oooh baby rub me right
But if I share my secret
*Haru put her finger over her lips as if gesturing Frau to keep quiet*
You're gonna have to keep it
*She went behind Frau and covered his eyes with her free hand but removed it quickly before Frau could hold it*
Nobody else can see this (Ay! Ay! Ay! Aaay!)
And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue (Take me by the tongue)
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you (Yeah yeah yeah!)
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
(Oh, yeah)
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
*Frau spun Haru and pulled her to him as he kept his hand on Haru's waist*
When the song finished, Haru pulled Frau's head down and kissed him.
Frau was shocked at first but then responded to her kiss.
"Hey! That's not fair Zephyrine! Oh well, I can't do anything about that anymore." Calvin sighed in defeat.
'Ouch. Seeing that hurts like hell.'
"Boss, are you okay?"
"No, Chrome. It hurts so much but I can endure it. I have to if I want to get her back. I'm not running away anymore."
Tsuna smiled at Chrome and Chrome felt relieved that their boss is still not giving up.
Frau and Haru went down the stage and Athena gave Frau's clothes to Haru as she and the other guardians went back to their seats.
The other guests decided to settle down and go back to their seats as the MC walked back to the stage.
Tsuna and his friends sat back down to their seats but Tsuna's eyes followed Haru.
He saw them walk back to their seats. When they were settled down, Haru took a small towel from her bag and handed it to Frau which he used to wipe the sweat on his face.
Haru got another towel and wiped the sweat on his back while Frau wiped the sweat on his front.
"Kufufufu. Sawada, are you a masochist?"
Tsuna's attention suddenly shifted from Haru and Frau to Mukuro.
"What?" Tsuna was confused.
"Kufufufu. You were staring. Why do you still look at them when it hurts you? Just look away you masochist."
Tsuna's face then turned crimson in embarrassment as he realized what Mukuro was talking about.
"I'm not a masochist, Mukuro."
He looked at his friends and saw worry in their eyes.
"I was just thinking if I didn't do what I did before, I would be the one in his place. And I'm going to make sure that I'll be experiencing what he is experiencing now."
Tsuna smiled at his friends and the worry in their eyes disappeared.
Tsuna turned back to look at Frau and Haru. Frau was now putting on his polo as Haru helped him button it up.
Tsuna's attention was again suddenly shifted but it's to the stage.
"That was an awesome performance by Mr. Frau Zehel and Ms. Haru Miura. Aren't they just the cutest couple?"
The crowd's attention was turned to Haru and Frau who were hit by the spotlight.
Haru was currently arranging Frau's necktie and they were surprised when the spotlight was on them.
The crowd said in unison, "Awwwwwww."
"Awww. They look like husband and wife." The MC stared dreamily at the couple.
Haru and Frau suddenly became uncomfortable with the directed attention on them and just nervously laughed and waved at the crowd.
'They just had to rub it in my face, huh? Stupid MC.' Thought Tsuna as he glared at the MC.
"Well, enough of that. Let's give the couple some space."
After the MC said that the spotlight was instantly turned off.
The couple sighed in relief as their family and friends laughed at them.
"Now, before we end the Annual Faux Zodiac Ball, can we please invite Ms. Veronique Leontine Miura to the stage for the closing remarks?"
Mr. Miura stood up and offered his arm to his wife and they went to the stage.
"Good evening everyone. This was a fun night and I hope that everyone enjoyed it. I met new and old friends and they all looked so stunning. This ball is a tradition in the Faux Company to thank everyone who worked so hard to keep this company rising from its current status. If it weren't for everyone here, this company wouldn't be standing at the top of the industry right now. So in behalf of my family, I thank you all. Everyone had worked hard for the past years and I hope that we would all work harder in the future to be even better than we are now. Some had a great year and some had a bad year but either way, we shouldn't give up because if we do then it'll be all over. No matter what happens we must stand back up and work hard for what we want to achieve. This ball marks another year for us and we must make the most of it. For the old employees, we have to aim higher than before and keep on improving while helping your kohai through their starting journey in the industry. And for the new ones, they have to work hard to catch up to their senpai. You have a rough road ahead of you but don't give up and keep on trying. I wish everyone the best of luck and a year full of success and happiness. Again, thank you for all your hard work. Have a good night everyone."
Mrs. Miura smiled at the crowd as the crowd erupted in cheers and applause.
Mr. Miura went to Mrs. Miura's side and led her back to their seats as the MC took over the stage for the last time tonight.
"That was a very touching speech from Mrs. Miura. Thank you. With that we officially end the Annual Faux Zodiac Ball. We hope you all had an awesome night. Good night and have a safe trip home everyone."
With that the lights at the stage turned off and the MC went back stage.
The guest started to leave and so did the Vongola.
Before Tsuna left the ballroom he took one last look back at the Miura Family's table and saw Haru looking at him too.
They locked eyes for a while but that ended when Haru looked away from him.
'Now that I know what you really feel Haru, I'm even more determined to get you back.'
With that thought, Tsuna went out the ballroom and caught up to his friends who were waiting for him in the Vongola limousine.
Tsuna went in and the limousine drove off to send each one of them to their homes.
Meanwhile in the Virgo Ballroom, Haru, her family and guardians were the only ones left there.
"Celestine, your dad and I will be going ahead. We still need to get back to France early tomorrow."
"Mommy! Why are you leaving so soon?" Haru pouted at her parents.
"Sorry, Haru-chan. We still have some business to do there. We'll visit as soon as we can, alright?"
"Alright, daddy. I'm going to miss the two of you. Have a safe trip."
Haru smiled sadly at her parents as she hugged and kissed them both.
"Now, Celestine, take care of yourself and your guardians. Don't forget to check and monitor you subordinates at Japan HQ too. I'm proud of you sweetie. Be careful. We love you."
Haru smiled at her parents and said, "I love you too, mommy and daddy."
"Frau, I'm leaving my daughter in your hands. Take care of her, alright? I'm counting on all of you to protect my daughter and of course you should take care of yourselves too. Goodbye, everyone."
Frau and the other guardians nodded at Mr. Miura and bid them farewell.
"Haruo, we'll be seeing you soon. Finish what you have to do here quickly. The main HQ needs you there."
"I got it, Mom. Have a safe trip." Calvin smiled at his parents as the disappeared from their sights.
"Zephyrine, I'll be going ahead to the Miura Mansion. I'll see you in the morning or at the Japan HQ in the afternoon. Goodnight sis."
Calvin kissed his sister's forehead and left Haru and her guardians.
"Goodnight, Leonard-nii-sama. Drive safely, okay?"
Calvin just laughed and waved back to his sister.
"Now, why don't we all go back to the mansion too?"
Haru faced her guardians with a smile and all nodded at her smiling.
Haru grabbed Frau's hand and led him and the others to the doors.
In the Miura Mansion
As they arrived all of them went to their separate rooms and prepared to go to sleep.
In Frau's Room
'She chose me this time. I hope that she'll keep on choosing me. It seems like Tsuna is a tough opponent. With just two songs, he got her so affected. I won't lose to you. I'll do everything to make her stay so do your best too, Tsuna, if you really want her back.'
Frau then slept right after that.
In Haru's Room
'What the hell happened to me a while ago? I almost allowed him to kiss me. This is not good. I love Frau and not him. This can't be happening. Haru, you need to keep yourself together. Don't break down now. You can do this. Just always remember, you love Frau and he loves you. No one could ever tear you apart. I have to be strong.'
With that thought, Haru fell into a deep slumber.
A/N: So how was it? Like it or hate it? Review! :)
P.S. I did mention one of the subjects I'm taking this semester in my college. Can you guess what course/degree I'm taking? Those who can guess correctly before I post my next chapter will be featured in my future chapters. Wanna be part of the story? This is your chance. Goodluck everyone! :)
