A/N: Hope you like this one…..I should be studying right now..But hey what the heck?..:3
Shoichi typed the letters on the keyboard quickly while he slugged down the coffee next to him on the table.
This was too stressful even for him.
He hadn't had a proper rest for the past week, just to make time to think about what happened, through all the work he already had to do.
His gaze wandered towards the electric clock that read 3:00 precisely. It wasn't that late for him but since you were up at this time as well. This time had to be late, you should've been sleeping now but you refused to.
He sighed heavily under his breath while he glanced back from his chair meeting with bright light that was emitting from the corridors. He needed to get it finished by the end of the day at least.
He shrugged his thoughts off while he heavily continued to key in the necessary codes that were needed for it to function properly. A task like this demanded and required utmost attention, but now his attention was wavering.
It was on you.
He knew why you were awake. Why you couldn't sleep properly for the past week. You had been so kind to make him some coffee as well when you made some for yourself.
You cared for him but even he knew that wasn't enough for him.
He wasn't stupid. He knew why you were so sad even though others hadn't noticed it yet. Tsuna had noticed it but graciously kept quiet for your sake.
Every time he would ask you what was wrong, you would just shrug it off with a smile saying that you were perfectly okay; but you weren't.
Every time he would ask you why you were crying, you would refuse to answer instead you would just run away like you always did.
Why couldn't you notice that he cared for you?
Why on earth would he think endlessly about just to figure out what was bothering you, if you didn't want to tell him.
He had to find out some way or another. You were so…puzzling.
In frustration he moved his hand quickly, knocking away the stray photo frame that was placed prominently on his work table.
He sighed in frustration as he attempted to straighten it but he didn't. He turned away in irritation as he slammed it even further down away from his sight.
Why would he want to see you at this time?
He angrily typed the letters harshly on the keyboard but at the same time getting the codes correct. He couldn't let his work fail just because of you.
He couldn't let Tsuna down just because he was thinking about you.
His head jerked towards the door hearing you sob lightly. He bit his lower lip while he rested his head against the table.
He hated it when you cried; Most of all because he knew why you were crying.
He hated it because he knew.
He knew why you couldn't sleep at night than normal.
He knew why you were not your usual self.
He knew because he was to blame.
He drew his fingers through his hair in frustration while he dejectedly straightened the photo frame.
There you were, angrily looking away while his hand was firmly around you smiling his toothy grin, while Shoichi did what he always did.
He would watch from the sidelines.
He could never talk back to Byakuran; he could never tell him to send you home even though he himself helped to kidnap you from the Vongola headquarters.
And somehow you fell in love with him..Instead of the person who actually cared for you.
Him.
You fell in love with him.
He noticed it the day you ran to him when he was dying on the battle field and then he knew how much love could hurt a person.
He never told you how he felt.
He never told that he was to blame, he helped to kill Byakuran.
You cared for him now but if you knew, you would never forgive him.
