The Perfect Dress

When Haru went dress shopping that afternoon she did not expect that she would be eavesdropping on her best friend while he was on his date with his dearly beloved.

"You d-did not!"

"I-I did!" Chrome replied whilst giggling.

"What did Mukuro do when he found out?"

"Well, I don't think he minded that much. I told him t-that pink swimming t-trunks were in!"

The couple then burst into laughter as they continued eating their lunch. Giggling Haru, decided that he would be fine and started to leave her hiding spot; the overgrown pot plant.

'I guess he didn't need the comms unit after all.'

"No, I insist"

"Ah, Gokudera-kun! You can't"

Haru stopped mid-step and went back down to her hiding spot.

'What's he doing now?'

"It's my treat."

"B-but! I can't let you pay!"

"Well, too bad. I am" He replied, shooting her a small smile before putting his hand in his pocket to take out his wallet.

Smiling to herself, Haru started to leave (again) her hiding spot but not before catching the look of worry on Gokudera's face as he began to subtly check all his pockets while distracting Chrome.

'He didn't…'

Excusing himself from the table he walked towards the men's restrooms and paced.

'What the hell am I going to do?! I swear I had it!'

His trains of thoughts were broken by a tap on his shoulder, turning around his eyes widened in shock as he saw Haru smiling brightly.

"Yo! How's the date going?"

"H-HARU?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

"Hmm?"

"Don't hmmm me!"

"Don't need to be so mean! I was just going dress shopping when I happened to see you pacing. And as the awesome friend I am, I came to ask what the problem was"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"So you just happened to pass by?"

"Yup!"

"But wh-"

"Should you really be focusing on me? What's the problem?" Haru interrupted

"T-there's no problem" Gokudera replied defensively.

"Really?" Haru taunted.

"Fine… i-i- forgot my wallet…" Gokudera mumbled who suddenly found the wall to be a more intriguing thing to talk to.

Suppressing the urge to giggle, Haru dug into her pocket and handed her friend a hundred dollar bill.

"W-what?"

"That should cover it right?"

"W-What? Haru! No, I will not take your money!"

"Why?"

"Because I just won't. I refuse!"

"If I was someone else you would"

"Yeah, but you're not someone else."

"So you're just going to go back there and tell Chrome that you have no money? And that she's going to have to pay for the entire meal? Just after you insisted that you would pay?"

"A-ah…"

"Hmm?" Haru smiled mischievously

"Um... isn't this your money for your dress or something?"

"Hmm? No! Pftt, of course not! I've got tons more"

"T-thanks stupid woman…" Gokudera mumbled.

"Hahi? No worries… baka!"

Haru sighed in defeat as she sat down on the mall bench, she had searched for several hours and yet she could not find one single dress that was affordable! Well, then again….where on earth could she find a reasonable dress for forty dollars? After lying to Gokudera and giving her hundred dollars away she was left with forty dollars! Forty freaking dollars!

Perhaps giving Gokudera that money was a bad idea…

'No! No it wasn't! It helped him! I mean, imagine the embarrassment if I hadn't given him the money…'

'Imagine your embarrassment! Showing up to the party with jeans and a top…'

'Arghh! Go away! Stupid inner self!'

Confused, sad and annoyed Haru could not help but burst into tears, hanging her head she continued to cry for five minutes until she saw a pair of feet in front of her. Curious, she wiped away her tears and raised her head, allowing her eyes to widen when she saw who was in front of her.

'W-why on earth is he here?'

She watched as he sat down next to her and allowed him to quietly observe her. Not bothering anymore, she allowed her tears to continue to fall.

Moments passed before he spoke.

"Could you stop crying already?" He muttered irritably.

"H-huh?"

"Seriously, it's annoying"

"W-what?!" Haru asked partly infuriated

"If you didn't realize, people cry when they are upset! So sorry for bothering you with my tears!" Haru continued.

"Did someone die?"

"W-what?" Haru asked taken aback

"Well, considering the amount of tears that you are producing one would only assume that someone had died." He stated simply.

"Eh?! No one is dead! I'm just sad"

"Why?"

Sighing, Haru began to tell the events of the previous hours.

O0oO0O0oO

"That's it?"

"What do you mean that's it?

"That's what made you cry a river?"

"Don't say it like it's not a big deal!"

"So let me get this straight: you gave your money to Gokudera and now you can't afford a dress. That's supposed to be a big deal?"

"W-well, when you put it like that…."

"Exactly"

"But you don't get it! It is on Saturday! And today is Thursday, and I can't get it tomorrow cause i have late classes!"

"So? Just look harder"

"L-look harder! I HAVE LOOKED HARDER! YOU TRY FINDING A REASONABLY NICE DRESS WITH FORTY DOLLARS!"

"Fine."

"W-what?"

"Challenge accepted."

"EH?!"

Hibari then stood up and headed towards the nearest clothing store while Haru just sat there in astonishment. Turning around he looked at her.

"Aren't you coming?"

"Hahi?! O-f course!" Haru said as she ran after him.

O0oO0O0oO

Upon entering the store Haru tugged at Hibari motioning for him to bend down.

"What?"

"This is the wrong store"

"Excuse me?"

"It's really expensive. I'm not going to be able to afford anything!"

"Is this a clothing store?"

"Uh yes?"

"For females?"

"Ano… yes?"

"Then we are in the right store."

And with that, he waltzed off to a nearby rack in the corner that was labeled SALE. Deciding to buy time, Haru walked around and browsed for dresses. A few minutes later Hibari tapped her on the shoulder and handed her two dresses but not before looking at the several dresses Haru was already holding. Heading towards the dressing room Hibari sat down on a chair and waited.

A few seconds later Haru came out in a tight navy blue shiny dress that reached up to her thighs and displayed a bit of cleavage.

'She chose that? No wonder she couldn't find anything'

"No" He said immediately.

"W-what? Why?"

"You look indecent" He answered bluntly.

"O-oh." Was all she said before hurriedly entering the change rooms again with red ears.

Moments passed and she re-appeared but this time in a gold shimmery strapless that hugged her figure.

"W-well?"

"You look…"

Haru looked hopeful and anticipated the answer.

"… like a Christmas tree"

Resisting the urge to punch the male she quietly made her way back to the change room.

A few moments later she appeared again but this time in a loose maroon red round neck dress with a massive pink bow at the front.

Hibari resisted the urge to chuckle as she twirled around in that hideous monstrosity.

"Why… on earth would you even pick that up?"

Laughing Haru curtsied and put on a British accent "Well I thought that it was quite superb. Don't you think?"

Rolling his eyes in response he watched as she entered the change room again and to only appear in another repugnant dress.

'This is going to be a long afternoon'

"No"

"You serious?"

"Ugly"

"Too revealing"

"Ugly colour"

"Nope"

"W-wh.. WHY would you even pick that up?"

"Just no"

"This is the last one" Haru said as she came out of the dressing room.

Hibari was just getting ready to insult the dress when his eyes landed on the woman in front of him. She was wearing a delicate light blue silk halter with a second satin layer on top that reached just above her knees.

"Don't be mean okay! You picked this one. Not me!"

Clearing his throat Hibari stood up and looked away. "A-and you should be pleased"

"See, that's not ni- wait what?"

"I'm not repeating myself."

"Wait! So I look nice?"

"That's one way to put it"

"S-so I should get it?" Haru was getting excited.

"Your choice"

Haru jumped up and down in joy before entering the dressing room to change. Hibari allowed a small smile to form on his face before making his way to the counter. It was only a few moments later when a deflated Haru motioned him over that he realized it was getting really late.

"What now?"

"Um, Haru wants to thank Hibari-san for all his help but I am afraid that our efforts have been wasted because of the outrageous price of this gorgeous dress"

"Give me that" Hibari said, snatching the garment from Haru. His eyebrows rose when he saw the price-tag which read fifty dollars, but nevertheless walked up to the counter and placed it on it.

"Ah, Hibari-san. What are you doing?" Haru whispered.

"Stand over there" Hibari motioned to a near-by chair.

"Hahi? Why?"

Receiving no response Haru sat down dejectedly and watched Hibari talk to the store-clerk.

It was only a few minutes later when Hibari motioned for Haru to come over.

"Yes?"

"I'll be waiting outside" And with that, Hibari left the store.

"Eh?"

"That's some man you've got" The lady said as she scanned the barcode.

"Eh?"

"He kept fighting for a bargain on the dress"

"Eh?! Hibari-san!?"

"Mmhm. Really wanted you to get the dress – and I can see why. Its gorgeous!"

"Ah arigatou…"

"So that comes to thirty five dollars"

"EH!"

"Is there a problem?"

"A-ano, Haru thought it was fifty?"

"Not anymore. He's a keeper that one."

"E-eh?! Nonono H-he's not m-my –"

"Don't keep him waiting ~" The store clerk wiggled her eyes.

Quickly handing the lady the money Haru left the store and searched for Hibari who was waiting by a near-by lamp post.

"I see you got the dress"

"Yeah. Thank you"

"hmm"

"Um ano…."

"what?"

"Since Hibari-san has helped Haru. Haru was wondering if he wanted to have dinner. Since it's already seven-thirty"

"I'm not hungry" He replied curtly.

"O-okay th-" Haru was cut off by a huge stomach grumble emitting from Hibari's stomach. This time allowing herself to raise an eyebrow she saw Hibari roll his eyes in defeat.

"Fine"

"Yay! Where do you want to go?"

"Beats me"

"Kay then, we could go to McRamen or Hot Dogs R' Us or Nello's Nikuman or –" Haru stopped in mid-sentence as she saw his eye twitch at Nello's Nikuman.

"I don't mind"

"Okay then… let's go to Nello's Nikuman?"

"Sure"

'Hibari-san is being so kind today'

Hibari then started to stroll his way to the restaurant, with Haru skipping and humming alongside him. It was only a few seconds later that Hibari started to twitch in annoyance.

"Stop that"

"A-ah hai"

"Then again, he still is scary"
