Encouragement
"Tsu-kun, look!" Kyoko shoved the magazine in her hands at him, a perfect, pale pink manicured fingertip pointing towards the bottom. Tsuna blinked, looking down at the object that suddenly appeared in front of him. Tilting his head, he tried to make sense of what it was. He cringed a bit. Were all the hearts and flowers in the background really necessary?
"I don't understand." He said, looking back to Kyoko. She rolled her eyes and gave a brief shake of her head– boys.
"Isn't she pretty?" She replied, clarifying her question. "She's popular nowadays. I want to be like her."
"You could do it." Tsuna smiled encouragingly, but his childhood friend deflated at his praise and closed her magazine with a resigned huff. "No I couldn't. She's super pretty. Plus, she started when she was like, five. Not fifteen."
He rolled his eyes. People should learn to take a compliment when it's offered. Especially Kyoko. "Why do you feel the need to compare yourself to her? I think Kyoko-chan is great just the way you are."
A flush tinted her cheeks a brilliant pink. She quickly turned around, not wanting Tsuna to see her face. He was sweet. A little too sweet at times. How did he not blush over his own words?
"Ne, Tsu-kun?" She called out softly, voice hesitant and unsure.
"Hm?"
"Do you… do you think I can actually do it?"
Tsuna smiled, then reached over and put his hand over Kyoko's.
"You would be #1 for sure."
Note: Hm… this turned out different from how I thought it would be. I know, you guys are going "wow, another update so soon?" Well, my exams are done (for like… two weeks) but I'm going on a vacation for ~10 days, so I didn't know when I'd be able to update next. Since I've made you guys wait quite a while already for the last few chapters, I thought I'd see what I could whip up so you weren't left hanging :) I hope you enjoyed!
