Kagome looked on as the group passed another pocky stick within their circle. After the previous fiasco, Lambo and I-pin were told to stay downstairs with Nana. As the pocky stick passed on, it gets shorter and shorter with everyone taking smaller nibbles from the snack. She had managed to pass the pocky to Tsuna without much trouble with the boy closing his eyes in embarrassment. However, Tsuna, bless him, accidentally took a bigger bite than what he should when he was passing to Hana, leaving her with a 3cm chocolate treat to pass to the adult Gokudera.

Hana gave a sigh and turned to face the silver haired adult. Gokudera smirked as he raised his hand to cup Hana's cheek. "This is how y'all should play this game."

Gokudera gently caressed her cheek before leaning in slowly. Hana's eyes widened and her cheeks began to feel hot as she could see her own reflection in Gokudera's eyes. His eyes looked as though they were staring into her soul. Embarrassed, she shut her eyes and tried to control the blood from rushing into her flaming cheeks. It felt as though an eternity has passed before Hana felt the pocky she was biting onto moved slightly as Gokudera bit onto it. She could feel his breath against her lips and it was making her heart thump at an insane speed. Slowly, she peeked under her lashes and got a shock when a pair of silvery orbs was staring back at her.

"Kya!" Hana gave a small scream and broke the pocky.

"Hana gets a penalty~" Yamamoto announced cheerfully as though he had not witnessed what just happened.

"Are you okay?" Kyoko asked her best friend worriedly when Hana hid her face under her hands.

A muffled yeah was heard.

"How could you do that?!" Haru demanded.

Gokudera rolled his eyes, "It's just a game, woman. No need to get your kickers in a twist." He ignored Haru while she ranted about how to treat a girl properly.

"You only have 1 more minute here Gokudera-san," remarked Kagome as she shifted over next to him. "Do you know that you are actually laying hands on a minor? She is 10 years younger than you are." She added.

Gokudera huffed, "That's payback for calling us monkeys for all those years."

"You just made yourself the reason why." Kagome replied.

He cussed while Kagome giggled softly. "Well, seems like I'll be going soon. I'll miss you, Kagome." Gokudera kissed her forehead and ruffled her hair before disappearing in a puff of pink smoke.

A normal teenager Gokudera reappeared after all the pink smoke cleared and his face was pink from blushing. Disoriented, he looked around the room before his eyes landed on Tsuna and Kagome. He jumped backwards and dropped onto the ground in a dogeza with his face dyed crimson and ears hot from the blood rush. "I-I-I'm sorry Tenth!" He yelled while bowing many times towards Tsuna. "I'm sorry for interrupting!"

Poor Tsuna was so flustered he did not know how to stop the other teen from yelling. Kagome moved backwards, letting Tsuna handle his friend while being equally baffled by his reaction. She touched her forehead and pondered, 'Why did he say that?' Kagome shrugged as she continued watching Tsuna trying to control the younger version of Gokudera.

Who knew puberty can do such a good job transforming that awkward teenager to that hunk?

Kagome smiled to herself. He had a nice smell. A strange foreign scent of espresso and tobacco.

TYL! Gokudera X Hana! My take on why Hana calls all the boys monkeys.

Review please? :)
