That Fluttering Feeling

Tsuna entered his bedroom and used the back of his leg to close it before walking up to the huge canopy bed and laying down the orange haired teen carefully. Kyoko looked up at the young Mafioso with a curious look, obviously demanding an explanation from the brunet.

"That damn marshmallow head won't believe that we're a couple unless you stay in this room for the night."

He simply said as he walked up to the bathroom for a shower, leaving the gawking orange haired teen to curse the Millefiore boss for his stupid ideas. Kyoko sat on the edge of the bed and surveyed the room. It was similar to hers with the exception of a dark, leathered couch and some other furniture littering the room like the last time she remembered. She snapped out of her thoughts, reminding herself that she shouldn't stay here even if she had decided to trust him from now on. Not to mention she had started to get an odd, fluttering feeling in the pits of her stomach by just being near the young Mafioso. Kyoko shook her head furiously and pushed his sweet, smiling image to the back of her mind.

I should just leave now before I get that weird feeling again.…

Kyoko was about to stand when her hand accidentally hit the low wooden drawer located beside the bed. A small, orange box toppled down from on top of the furniture with its' content plopping out on the velvet carpet, making the orange haired teen squeaked in panic. She had thought of placing it back before the brunet returned when a string of dark blue caught her eyes. Kyoko reached down and dangled it to eye level in between her fingers as she proceeded to examine it curiously. It had a blue tuna shape seamed carelessly on the front and his name written at the back that seemed like a child's handwriting. The object seemed to be kept with utmost care seeing as it doesn't have any scratch or even a speck of dust on it.

"Is this a…protective charm?"

Something about this 'charm' gave off a very familiar feeling but the orange haired teen just couldn't put a finger on it no matter how hard she recalled.

That's weird…..I'm pretty sure I've never seen it before but—

Kyoko stopped her train of thought when she heard the sound of running water stopping from the shower. She hurriedly placed the charm inside the box and set it to where it was before sitting back on the comfy bed. The bathroom door creaked open and orange haired teen turned to glance at the figure that stepped into the room. Only this time, the fluttering feeling came back tenfold. His unruly, gravity defying hair looked fluffy as he ran a hand through his chestnut hair. Beads of water rolled down to the floor as he had only a towel hanging around his hip held in place by a hand, showing slightly toned skin on his lean and muscular build….

Wait….WHAT!

Kyoko scooted back instinctively and her back met with the walls touching the top-left edge of the silky mattress, her face flushing a deep shade of red. She slowly pointed a quivering finger at the brunet and her words came out as stutters.

"W-W-What are you…."

"Hn?" He raised a brow before looking down at his 'attire' and then up at the gaping orange haired teen before realizing what she meant.

"Oh, I forgot to take my clothes with me to the bath." Tsuna simply said before walking to the wardrobe and opening it to browse through his clothes. He glanced from the corner of his eyes only to find the orange haired teen still staring at him in either shock or caution. The brunet couldn't fought back the urge to smirk.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer."

"….What?" she replied dumbly.

"You were obviously drooling so might as well take a picture if you really want to, I don't mind." He said with a smug grin.

She broke form her trance and hissed, "I-I wasn't drooling, you pervert!"

"Really~" The brunet teased.

She flushed and quickly brought her legs up to bury her face on her lap, hoping to hide the warmth crawling up her cheeks. Seeing the uncommon reaction from the orange haired teen, Tsuna retract his hand from the wardrobe and sighed before ruffling his messy brown locks while his right hand still holding the piece of clothing in place.

"Hey, relax a bit will you? It's not like I'm going to jump on you or something like that."

He frowned, though the other teen didn't see it with her face still refusing to move from its' hiding. Kyoko flinched and a muffled reply came with her face still hiding from him

"I-I know that…."

Silence filled the room for a moment before Kyoko heard light footsteps coming closer and closer to her. The sound stopped and the orange haired teen slowly brought her head up only to find deep chocolate browns gazing intensely at her caramels. Her breath hitched when she noticed how dangerously close they were with his hand propped near to one of her side.

"Unless…" He leaned in closer and whispered beside her ear in a husky tone "You want me to…"

The brunet pulled back and flashed his bright smile with an edge of playfulness. As the words finally sunk in, Kyoko bolted away to the other end of the bed while holding a hand over her ear with rosy scarlet already creeping up to the tips of her ears. She tried to choke out a word several times but failed miserably as her jaw was left hanging. Tsuna stared at her wide eyed for a second before bringing his palm over his mouth, a muffled laugh came and the brunet was soon unable to contain his laughter and ended up chuckling heartily while holding his gut.

"I-I can't believe y-you…..you should've seen the look on your f-face—mpf!"

His face met with a soft pillow which had immediately silence him. It fell with a thud on the floor and the brunet stiffen when he noticed the orange haired teen trembling figure, her bangs covering her eyes making her expression hard to read.

"H-Hey, Kyoko—" Tsuna panicked, he could only hope that the teen wasn't mad or worse, he made her cry.

"You perverted bastard…." The orange haired teen muttered and snapped her head to face the young Mafioso, her mouth twitching with anger.

Well, at least now he knew that it was most definitely the former now.

"W-Wait, I was joking!"

Tsuna tried to defend himself but to no avail as the angry teen gritted her teeth and lunge at the brunet. A loud 'smack!' reverberate throughout the entire Vongola Mansion.

So here he is, the great and fearful Vongola Decimo fully clothed in an orange T-shirt with grey sweatpants. The brunet was sitting on his legs Japanese style with a red hand mark across his left cheek, courtesy from an angry orange haired teen of course. Kyoko crossed her arms over her chest and towered over the guilty teen who was trying very hard to avoid the fierce glare thrown at him, making the situation resembling a child who was awaiting his punishment.

"Uhh.…I'm….sorry for going too far?" He said remorsefully but it ended up sounding more like a question instead.

"And?" Kyoko hissed, making the Decimo scratched his cheeks guiltily as he averted his gaze as far away as possible from her caramels.

"….I swear not to pull any stupid jokes on you ever again."

He held up a palm to prove it and gaze at her with eyes full of sincerity. The orange haired teen felt her expression loosen and anger slowly washed away by those pair of ambers showing signs of guilt and maybe even pleading if you look really closely. The second emotion never slipped passed the orange haired teen though and she finally exhaled in defeat.

"…Fine, it's getting late anyways so let's rest for now."

Tsuna brighten up immediately and stood up, flashing her one of his award winning smile. Kyoko blushed before turning around and heading off to the comfort of the fluffy bed. As she plopped down on the mattress, she noticed the brunet settling himself on the leathered sofa with a hand as his pillow.

"You're sleeping on the couch?" her eyes grew wide.

He looked at her as if she'd grown a second head before answering with a soft smile.

"Yeah, don't worry about it and just get some sleep."

The young Mafioso closed his eyes, leaving the other teen no room for argument knowing that anything she said wouldn't be able to change his decision. Kyoko clenched her grip on the blankets before falling back to the bed as she closed her eyes. Minutes passed and the orange haired teen was unable to drift to sleep. She sat up and gaze at the brunet who was resting peacefully on the sofa, his soft breathing even as his chest rose and fall in rhythm. Kyoko's lips tugged into a frown when she noticed how he occasionally shifted in his sleep, showing discomfort from his sleeping position. She held the blankets in her hand before moving up to the sofa, her eyes lingering on the sleeping brunet before she moved to the other end. Kyoko carefully cover him with the blanket, making sure not to wake him up in the process.

At least he won't feel cold now…

She peeked down and found herself seated down on the rough carpet beside the mafia boss, hugging her legs to her chest as she took in his peaceful features. A slight smile tugged on the corner of her lips.

"You don't need to force yourself to sleep on the couch you know." She giggled softly, making sure not to disturb the sleeping brunet.

"...I don't mind switching with you or even sharing the bed, really."

Kyoko paused as she propped her head to gaze at him, already knowing that she won't get a reply. Her lips parted as she gathered her courage to speak.

"Thank you for saving me today and I'll….try to trust you from now on…."

Her cheeks reddened from her own words as she fiddled with her hands and avoid looking at the young Mafioso. She shot up and decided to walk back to catch some sleep, her mind going through various thoughts as she took a step forward.

What am I even doing? He won't even hear me anyway….

The brunet mumbled in his sleep and forcefully tugged on the blankets to cover more of him. Kyoko squeaked as the fabric under her leg shifted, causing her to lose balance and falling backwards. She snapped her eyes shut and felt her hand grabbed onto another piece of clothing for support but it ended up tumbling down with her. The orange haired teen winched at the impact but it wasn't long until she heard a low groan coming from above her. She froze when her eyes met with hazy light browns and the realization that the thing she grabbed in reflex was actually his shirt. The brunet had both of his arms supporting him by the side of her head and he gaze at her with lazy, half-lidded eyes still half-asleep from his disturbed rest.

Kyoko was about to open her mouth when a warm, loving hand moved to caress her cheek. The simple gesture sent shiver down her spine as her mind started to spin. Heat creeping up her cheeks as their eyes locked but the orange was even more surprised that her caramels refused to move away from his gaze.

"Kyoko….I…."

END

Extra Corner

Back to the rooms of the storm guardian's room where the white head was munching on his packet of marshmallows as a 'midnight snack' while Gokudera was trying….yes, trying very hard to sleep.

"Hmm…I think I heard some screaming from Tsu-chan's room~"

(5 minutes later)

A loud slap sound resounded from the decimo's room.

"Now that was a loud slap. Maybe Tsunayoshi-kun is being too forceful….don't you think so Gokudera-kun?"

Gokudera suddenly have the urge to grab his dynamite and destroy his new roommate to smithereens.

(10 minutes later)

Now it's a loud thud sound.

Byakuran smirked as he munched on a marshmallow as a midnight snack.

"Oh my…now I'm really curious on what those two lovebirds are doing~"

The storm guardian finally snapped.

"ARGGGH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! The damn living room couch is HEAVEN compared with staying with a !#% marshmallow freak like you!"

Byakuran pouted playfully.

"Ehh? That hurt my feeling….and I was having fun too~"

The storm guardian hurried towards the door and slammed the it behind him. Byakuran chuckled haughtily as he held his stomach from the laughter. He took out a piece of his favourite sweet and smiled.

"Well….looks like it's just you and me now….my lovely marshmallow~"
