Gokudera shifted in his seat for the umpteenth time since the class break started. He tucked some loose strands of hair from his ponytail (only to have them fall back in his face later), pushed up his reading glasses, and scowled at the pages in his book.
'Note to self: Never read anything Haru gives you. She does not know ANYTHING (extra emphasis on ANYTHING) about you.'
Gokudera shook his head slightly. Seriously, what had he been thinking to even accept the book from her? …Oh yeah.
It was in Italian. And it had aliens on the cover.
But Gokudera learned the hard way that books really should not be judged by their covers because the damned book was a children's book. It had a lot of pages of painfully colorful pictures of aliens (and NOT the aliens he envisioned them to be which added to his disappointment), a lot of pages telling a plotless story, and whole lot less of actual words.
'Serves me right for actually looking forward to something that stupid woman gives me.' Gokudera thought stormily. 'Maybe I should go look for-'
"Smile, Gokudera-kun."
Gokudera glanced up from his book, curiosity showing on his features. His curiosity soon became surprised recognition the moment he saw the familiar unruly locks of brown hair.
"Ten-"
Click.
Gokudera bit back the rest of his response and stared at his boss as he lowered a camera from his face.
"T-Tenth?"
Tsuna gave a sheepish smile at Gokudera. "S-sorry about that, Gokudera-kun. Th-this is-"
"I gave Tsuna the task of taking pictures of his Family."
Reborn made his presence known by jumping onto Tsuna's head roughly, earning a dissatisfied grunt from him.
Gokudera blinked once and then his whole face brightened.
"Is that so? Then I shall accompany the Tenth!"
Tsuna blinked at the silver haired bomber. "Are you sure? You looked pretty into that book you were reading."
Gokudera grinned. "Ah that! That was," his grin became a disgusted frown, "just a stupid book that stupid woman gave me but," Gokudera gave a slightly forced grin, "it's not that important. I'll accompany you, Tenth!" His face brightened with expectant smile.
Tsuna's eyes traveled down to the book in Gokudera's hand. "Haru gave that to you?"
Gokudera glanced at the book and held it up. "Yeah. It's a bad book but I'm reading it so that she won't bother me about it later."
Tsuna suddenly squinted at the book and Reborn's smirk widened. Gokudera blinked and tilted his head slightly.
"Tenth?"
"Isn't that…Lambo's book?"
"…Huh?"
Suddenly Tsuna's face lit up. "Oh, so that's what he was talking about!"
Gokudera stared at Tsuna, confusion evident. "What…?"
Reborn spoke up, "That stupid cow went on a rant last night on how he gave a 'really stupid rectangle thing' to Haru to give to 'Stupidera'."
"…Huh."
Tsuna twitched lightly as Gokudera's face darkened and lowered his head. "G-Gokudera-kun…"
"Tenth, I don't think I'll accompany you for now."
Tsuna took a step forward, his hands already up to calm his Storm Guardian down. "Go-Gokudera-kun…!"
Gokudera looked back up at Tsuna, his face solemn and serious. He slipped a cigarette in his mouth and quickly lit. Shortly after, unlit dynamite was place expertly in between his fingers.
"That stupid cow is going down." Gokudera walked out of the classroom.
"HIIIIII! Go-Gokudera-kun, NO! You can't blow up Lambo!" Tsuna ran after Gokudera with Reborn smirking at the usual antics between the two on top of his student's hair.
That ends that! One family member down, several others to go! Next target is Namimori's baseball star, Yamamoto Takeshi! And on an offhand note: I wish Sasagawa Ryohei a very EXTREME birthday today!
Again, I apologize for mistakes and please review for me!
