Haru's POV

I sat there staring at the screen, gobsmacked the newly acquired information not really sinking in, he liked me. A thought suddenly came to mind, wait just because he said he likes me it doesn't mean like that, the way I want it to be.

Bleep.

Yuki Says: Haru I've got to go, I hope you read what I've said and answer me soon, you really are amazing Haru, so don't listen to what they say. I'll speak to you soon. X x

The message spurred me into action, I needed to reply and fast, my fingers rapidly typed on the keyboard, I was frantic desperate to reply before he disappeared offline to whatever he had to do.

Bleep.

Yuki has signed out.

My fingers stopped and I slumped back in my chair utterly defeated, my message only half written glaring back at me from the screen.

HaruNo1Cosplayer says: Yuki I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you, you've always been so kind and understanding towards me and I'm so grateful….

I lazily pressed down on the backspace key and watched as my words erased from the conversation box.

Bleep.

RebornLover says: Hey Haru its Bianchi, you know those pictures we took the other day, do you want them, well I'm sending them to you now! By the way I've joined your community, although I won't post them up there too public, even I'm not that cruel to Hayato. X x

Bleep.

Files uploaded.

I didn't reply but I did click on the files, as each one opened a photograph filled my screen, these were much more professional than the one's I'd originally taken several days or it could be weeks ago now, the photo's that caused an uproar at Namimori school. No these were taken by an 'elite mafia spy' as Bianchi called herself and I was her apprentice spy, I couldn't remember when we'd got this close probably around the time we'd discovered our mutual interest in yaoi fan fiction, it had given us something to build on. Despite being Gokudera's older sister, Bianchi was far more agreeable than her younger brother and she had a passion for baking and cakes which I also shared.

I spent the next hour editing the photos, changing the lighting, the positioning etc... I resisted my fangirl urge to add little pink hearts all over the photos, but only just.

Bleep.

RebornLover says: you're going to like this =P

I clicked on the link and I couldn't help but let out a snort. Bianchi had edited one of the pictures so her brother was in wedding dress complete with veil and Yamamoto was in a suit that looked something like a tuxedo. I saved it to my album; it'd be a good tool to use when trying to cheer myself up in the future.

I decided I wanted to one up her and began editing my own photographs into something funny. After about half an hour of myself and Bianchi passing over our edited versions through links to one another, we'd established a competition of sorts, whoever could create the most amusing version.

I'd been in stitches on several occasions; my mum had even called up at one point to ask if everything was ok because I was laughing so hard she could hear it downstairs. Eventually we settled on a truce as we just couldn't decide they were all so hilarious.

Bleep.

Yuki has signed in.

My eyes flicked over to the open conversation box and my mind buzzed trying to think of what I should say, I eventually settled for… hey. I suddenly felt rather retarded.

HaruNo1Cosplayer says: Hey

The silver haired male shoved the larger body off of himself before sitting up and glaring daggers at the person the body belonged to.

"You baseball-idiot you woke up the tenth" Gokudera yelled at the dark haired teen sprawled out on the floor looking up at him.

"Aha Gokudera-kun its ok" Tsuna said timidly whilst a blush adorned his features from his neck upwards.

Gokudera looked over at the tenth preparing his I'm not worthy crusade when he noticed the rather pronounced redness to the others face. Realisation dawned at what his and Yamamoto's position would have looked like to an outsider especially one like Tsuna who knew they were together.

"No you've got the wrong idea tenth, it wasn't like that, I'd never do such degrading things in front of the tenth even if you were asleep" Gokudera stammered out quickly trying to explain his actions.

Tsuna still didn't turn to face him and his blush didn't retreat from his face either if anything it just increased.

"Hayato why don't you go outside and have a cigarette I'm sure it'll calm you down, don't you think so" Yamamoto's voice penetrated the tense and embarrassing atmosphere.

Gokudera was unable to protest the instruction for once, far too embarrassed and feeling as if he had let down his boss somehow, he just left the room heading down the stairs to have a cigarette just as Yamamoto had suggested. Of course that didn't stop him muttering about baseball idiots trying to control him and tell him what to do.

"Yo Tsuna, so you and Hibari are like me and Gokudera"

The brunette boy snapped his head round and stared at him with his mouth open.

"How did you know tha…?"

"I know I may look stupid but even I notice the obvious things hahaha"

Tsuna just looked away clearly embarrassed knowing that his two best friends knew about him and Hibari, well he said that like they were a couple but he didn't really know what they were.

"Well I wouldn't say that exactly" Tsuna attempted to explain whilst Yamamoto just nodded in supposed understanding.

"Caoisso"

"EHHHHH" Tsuna yelped at the sudden intrusion of a familiar baby Mafioso.

Meanwhile downstairs Gokudera sucked on the end of his cigarette clutching it almost too tightly as if it were a lifeline, when he heard a loud crash and a scream from upstairs. Panic gripped him as he thought something may have happened to the tenth and if it had he was going to kill that baseball idiot. The silver haired teen rushed upstairs but as he reached the doorway he let out a sigh of relief as he saw the small sun arcoboleno perched on Tsuna's now bent back, with the brunette rubbing his head stuttering OWww's every now and again.

"Gokudera" Reborn addressed the storm guardian.

The bomber turned to face the small Mafioso, wondering what this was all about, by the confused looks on his companions faces they hadn't a clue either.

"I have a mission for you" Reborn clarified, the information sent Gokudera's pride metre rocketing, but he kept the utter joy from his face, wanting to seem professional in front of the hitman.

It seemed his joy was short lived however as the next few words that came from Reborn's mouth drained all the enthusiasm he had just felt only a second ago.

"With the cloud guardian"

The sentence bought out different reactions from each of the boys in the room. Anger. Confusion. Concern. Anger mainly on Gokudera's part and Confusion and concern on both Yamamoto's and Tsuna's part. Despite this Gokudera managed to quell the raging emotions in his mind and politely bow to the hitman and accept the mission much to the shock of Tsuna and Yamamoto. The details of the mission were not discussed as Tsuna and Yamamoto were not allowed to know; therefore Gokudera was given an envelope containing the requirements.

Shortly afterwards Gokudera excused himself even though Yamamoto and Tsuna tried to persuade him to stay.

Haru's POV

I waited anxiously for a reply and a few seconds later I got one.

Yuki says: hey :)

I sensed this conversation was going no where unless someone namely me broke the ice about what Yuki had told me earlier whilst I was apparently not here but actually I was.

Yuki says: about what I said earlier…

Before he could say anymore I decided to interrupt, I didn't want him to take back any of the things he said.

HaruNo1Cosplayer says: Can we meet up to talk?

Around half an hour later….

I stood outside my school gates, that's where I'd agreed to meet him. It was the only place he really knew in the area as he lived quite a distance from the school, I'd agreed to show him around so as I stood there waiting I began to plan on where to take him. Only a few minutes later a black car drove up and the door clicked open. It felt as though my heart had stopped just at that moment almost as if waiting in anticipation of whether it was him or not. It was. I watched almost in a trance as he stepped out of the vehicle, his sandy bangs hanging in front of his gorgeous eyes. These were a few of the very many reasons all the girls at my school loved him so much, his hair colour much lighter than Tsuna's but darker than Dino's was unusual in a Japanese boy and his eyes were the perfect combination of greens and blues changing colour every time light hit them.

This was also the reason I was thinking this can't be real.
