"Let go of me!" Byakuran struggled under the grip of the Vongola Boss, "This is a violation of the alliance!"
"And why the hell is this threatening our treaty?" Tsuna asked with a raised brow.
"This," Byakuran gestured at the two sets of arms holding him up by the elbows while dragging him backwards, "is considered kidnapping! So unless you want to wage war against the Gesso's, let go of me this instant!" he yelled as he continued to struggle.
Yamamoto shook his head and tightened his grip on the white-haired teen, " But we are doing this for your own good."
"I hate to agree with the idiot here, but he's right. You wouldn't make a move so Juudaime suggested that we help you with your love life," Gokudera added.
"What part of 'I'll make my move when I want to' don't you understand?!" the former Mare ring-holder exclaimed.
"You," Tsuna emphasized, "are waiting too long to make your 'move'. Next thing you know he'll be swept off of his feet by someone else instead of you."
That made Byakuran paused in his wriggling and promptly straightened up, "You are totally right, Tsuna-kun. I should be asking him out on a date right now not that Hojo boy. Kazuo and I look better than he and him," the boss said determinedly.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Tsuna urged, "Let's ask out Kazuo-sempai!"
Byakuran nodded and walked with a determined air surrounding him.
The four walked to the library where they all knew the blue-eyed teen would be there searching for a new series to read to either do something when he's bored if he already finished the games that he recently bought or to get some ideas and inspiration for his writing.
Byakuran let out a deep breath and pushed the doors open and his nose picked up that musky scent that just screams out library which was the smell of dusty books and the heat that's been radiating all summer.
He continued strong on his stride and when he saw the object of his affections, he froze. He looked around frantically and he quickly spun on his heel and made a run for it. When he was almost at the exit, the three Vongola blocked his way; their face set on a stern and disappointed expression.
"What the hell?" Gokudera asked.
Byakuran looked towards Kazuo who was by the mystery/horror section scanning over the spines of the books for the titles whether it interests him or not. "I couldn't do it. Forget my speech, forget that I said I can do it. I can't!" he wailed as he hugged a pillar refusing to let go.
"Don't be a baby, Byakuran. If you can almost take over the world without any help, but your power and the Mare Ring then you can do a simple thing like asking someone out!" Tsuna argued as the three of them tries to pull the immature teen off of the pillar.
"This situation is totally different than before!" the teen retorted back, "And what if he says no?" Byakuran asked softly and worriedly with a hint of sadness in his tone.
The younger teens faces melted into a softer one.
Yamamoto smiled broadly, "Is that what you're worried about all along? Fearing that he won't return your feelings? You don't need to worry, I assure you that he does."
Gokudera nodded in agreement, "He always flirt with you."
"He does that to everybody," the head of the Gesso Famiglia gained a deadpanned expression.
Tsuna frowned thoughtfully and jutted out his lower lip as he thinks about what he could say next, "But every time your feely-touchy with him, he doesn't mind. He actually stops himself not to pull away or run and we all know he's not a big fan of PDAs."
Byakuran slumped in defeat. He could try asking him out, but how? He doesn't like books so that's out and animes? He likes them, but he only has limited knowledge on it...and even if he managed to get the courage to ask him out there's always the possibility that he will say no...
"Ok. I'll ask him out, but if he said no and ruins our friendship, you better know how to sleep with one eye open because the next morning you might find yourselves transformed into a girl," Byakuran hissed in a threatening manner.
For the first time in a long time, the three gulped, afraid at the the threat that they know will come true when his theory would be proven true. The three hoped to God that it will go well and even if Kazuo said no-which they doubt-they hope they'll still be friends.
The three best friends followed the taller and older teen though they hid by the shelves to avoid being seen.
Byakuran almost dashes out yet again, but what the hell. What have he got to lose? Oh yeah, his friendship with Kazuo. He sighed and stared at his sneaker clad feet. He didn't realize that he drew Kazuo's attention to him.
"Byakuran?" Kazuo asked incredulously, "What on earth are you doing here? In the library?" he smother a smile threatening to break out of his face.
Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Tsuna snickered from where they are hiding as Byakuran blushed in embarrassment.
"I knew you were going to be here so I decided to drop by..." he trailed off.
Kazuo's amusement shot up higher, "And how do you know I'll be in the library, Byakuran? Are you stalking me now?" he teased.
Byakuran's blushed returned; ruffling his messy and spiky hair, he shuffled his feet, "Can I ask you a question?"
Kazuo turned back to the shelf, " You just did, but you can ask another one," he gave him a sideways smile.
"Um, uh, Kazuo, would you, I mean," the taller teen stumbled over his words.
Kazuo snapped his head towards him and raised a brow curiously, "Yes?"
Byakuran gulped and let his hand lean on his side, but didn't realize there's nothing beside him so his hand met air.
Kazuo pursed his lips and covered his mouth to muffle his laughter while the three hiding teens were trying so hard not to burst out laughing at Byakuran's expense and if they did it will ruin the aforementioned teen's plan to ask out the raven-haired boy.
Byakuran rightened himself up after the embarrassing display.
"Are you okay?" Kazuo managed to choke out.
Byakuran laughed sheepishly and waved his concerns off, "I'm fine. It's just that I'm such a klutz at times."
Kazuo raised a brow at him before snorting, "At times? Make that majority of the times."
"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Byakuran pouted cutely.
"Yes, you are," Kazuo disagreed and went back to searching for books, "so what were you going to ask me?"
Nervousness settled at the pit of the white-haired teen's stomach, "Kazuo..."
Kazuo groaned, "My God, Byakuran just spit it out!"
"Close your eyes!" Byakuran suddenly blurted out.
The other three face-palmed.
Kazuo blinked in confusion, "What?"
"Just do it and don't open your eyes till I say so."
"Alright," Kazuo shut his eyes, waiting for Byakuran to do whatever he's going to do.
Byakuran released a shaky breath before leaning closer.
Kazuo's eyes snapped open when he felt a soft pressure on his lips only to find out it was Byakuran's lips while the three hiding jaws drop at the unexpected action.
The shorter teen's eyes drifted shut once again and added more pressure to the kiss and wounds his arms around Byakuran's neck to pull him closer as his hands tangle in his fluffy white hair.
Byakuran smiled a little in the kiss before putting his hands on either side of Kazuo's hips and pulled him closer as well.
The couple only pulled away when they need a much needed air.
Panting softly, Byakuran connected their foreheads together, "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."
Kazuo chuckled a bit.
"Now for the question, Kazuo-kun, would you like to go out with me?"
Kazuo leaned up and pecked his lips, "I wouldn't have kissed back if I don't want to."
"So I'm taking that as a yes?"
"Yes. Yes, Byakuran. I would love to go out with you," Kazuo giggled at his question.
Byakuran smiled his foxy smile and leaned down once again and captured Kazuo's soft, but rough lips with his.
The three hiding teens smiled to themselves and high-fived each other for a job well-done.
