I was getting a little annoyed.

Wherever I went, Gokudera followed me. And when somebody said something disrespectful to me, he scared them off by shouting at them.

I wanted to live a normal life. Not as a loner with a way-too-loyal "pet".

My first class was Arithmetic. I walked to my classroom, thinking of how to tell Gokudera that he should be a little less stressed about my safety and giving me proper respect.

When I walked into the classroom, Gokudera was already there. All the seats around him were empty and the rest of the class kept on casting glances at him. I sat down at the seat next to him. Although the looks unnerved me, I tried my best to ignore them.

I had something to do, and no matter what, I was going to do it.

Gokudera looked up and greeted me with a salute "Good morning, tenth! Today I'm going to work extra hard to protect you!"

I forced a smile and stood up as our Arithmetic teacher walked in.

"Good morning," the whole class chanted and sat down with the sound of chair legs scraping on the tiled floor.

"Good morning class. Please turn your books to page twenty-two."

The class took longer than I expected. By the time we had finished, it seemed like we had taken a few hours.

I took my bun out of my pocket and bit into it. I was sitting on the roof. The clouds that were in the sky looked as free as a bird, able to take any form that they wished.

Gokudera joined me with a smile. "The scenery is beautiful boss. Trust you to only observe the best scenery. The boss is definitely the best!" he said.

I blushed. I wasn't used to getting complimented on anything by my classmates. But I guessed Gokudera was an exception.

We sat there, lost in our own thoughts.

"Gokudera-kun, do you ever miss your family?"

"Well, my mother is dead and I never liked my father," he replied with a shrug.

"I'm so sorry."

"No worries, it's not your fault that she died anyways. Her car crashed into the sea when I was very young so I don't remember much about her. I overheard the staff in my house saying that she committed suicide but I don't think she did, did she?" He looked up into the sky with a sad smile.

"I remember that she had a love of music. So I learnt to play the piano and played for her every day. After that, my father had me perform in front of many noble and rich people. He called me a child prodigy. He refused to let me play in front of Mother so I quit playing the piano.

"I was beaten up by him after that for disobeying him. I hate him for doing that to me."

Gokudera-kun knew how to play the piano so well that his father called him a child prodigy. I would like to hear him play sometime. However, why would his father go so far as to beat Gokudera up when he disobeyed him? I guessed I really didn't understand the lives of noblemen.

"I sort of understand how you feel. I mean, my father left when I was young too. My mum said that he went to dig for oil. But what job would take him away from his family for so long? The last time I saw him was when I was four. He came and then left the next day."

I started tearing up. My hatred for my father was so overwhelming that I felt like crying there in front of Gokudera. But I held it back. If I cried in front of him, he might do something irritating like cry with me. And that was going to be embarrassing.

I wiped my tears and tried to regain my composure.

I looked up at Gokudera. He was smiling an understanding smile.

"I guess that makes us alike, then!" I laughed at how Gokudera categorized us together just because we both had lost a parent.

I was starting to think that Gokudera was not too bad. He might have just been a confused child that took his confusion out on other people. Or not.

Gokudera walked beside me. He had refused to let me go home by myself.

Whenever Gokudera was with me, I felt calm yet annoyed. They were two feelings that didn't really mix well. But I just felt calm when somebody so like with me was by my side.

It was hard to come across somebody that resembled me so much.

The next time Gokudera did something annoying, I would just have to hold my annoyed expression in. I wanted Gokudera to have someone. Someone whose presence would let him forget about all his worries and just act normal.

I wanted to be that somebody.

I hope you liked this chappie! I think this may be fluff. But since I've never done fluff before, I'm not too sure.

Now to vote (dun dun dun…..) do you, the awesome readers of my fanfic, want the next chapter to be fluff or etc. etc.?

There will be no special place where you can vote. You must vote through your reviews. If nobody votes, don't blame me for writing a horrible next chappie full of mixed stuff!

SO, PLEASE VOTE! ^_^
