Hey! I just wanna tell you guys now, when I was thinking about making this story, I wanted Midori to look like… idk Gumi from Vocaloids or kinda but not really like Uni from khr. I'm telling you guys this cuz sometimes when I read fanfictions with OCs, sometimes, even the most detailed details are not enough for me so, if any of u people out there have a hard time visualizing, yea… that's how I intended Midori to look like~
A few days had passed and Midori was growing accustomed to school life. She would always go straight home although getting invites from her classmates to hang out. Midori would kindly reject them and be on her way. Sometimes, her new friend Sasagawa Kyoko would walk with Midori to her destination, knowing that she worked in her favorite cake store in Namimori.
When Midori introduced Kyoko to the owner, he was more than happy to see that Midori had gotten herself a good friend. Sometimes, he would share his ideas of new sweets he wanted to make; this conversation usually went on for a while since both girls liked to hear about the different kinds of confectionaries and how they would be made.
When it was around 7, Kyoko would leave, cheerfully waving goodbye and that she would see Midori tomorrow. After that, it leads to Midori having some dinner with the owner and telling him her day. As time passes, the owner would too leave and Midori would get ready to go to sleep.
At times, the owner would see Midori looking out beyond the cash register and saw all those people hanging out, eating the sweets they make.
He would walk over to Midori and say that it is ok if she wanted to go somewhere with her friends. Midori would always wave her arms in disagreement telling him "I could never do that! What will happen if I'm gone? I already have enough time taken away from the bakery at school; I couldn't possibly avoid it any more!"
It was a Sunday morning when the owner came to the bakery earlier than usual.
"Oh! What are you doing here owner? W-Well not that I don't want you here it's just… ahh~ never mind what I just said." Midori stopped herself from rambling on.
"There was something I really wanted to give you Midori." The owner said as he held out a box.
"Umm, what is it?" Midori looked at the box strangely.
"Here, I'll let you open it." The owner said, handing the box to Midori.
As Midori opened the box, her bright orange eyes grew wide. It was a cell phone, a green cell phone. The design was simple, it was glossy, and was nothing more than a simple flip cell phone but Midori didn't care. She looked up at the owner and gave him an "Are-you-sure-I-can-have-this" look on her face. This made the owner chuckle.
"It is all yours, I've notice for some time now that you didn't have one. For safety reasons I decided to buy this for you. This is also a birthday present for you, since it was yesterday?" the owner asked.
"Heh? How did you know my birthday was yesterday?" Midori asked back.
"That is another story for another time." The owner answered, brushing her question off lightly. "So," he continued "Yesterday you turned 14 is that correct?"
"You are a very mysterious person, owner…" Midori was about to press on but considering the face that he had bought her a cell phone, she decided to bombard him with questions another time. Right now, she had to figure out how the cell phone works!
Thanking the owner, she grabbed her bag and set outside the bakery for her break. On the way to the park, a question came in her mind. What can she do with her cell phone now? There really wasn't anyone to call so… Then a light bulb appeared on top of her head. She opened up her bag and saw that the green bird was still there. Midori held it up to her face and remembered what she did with the other one. She had given the purple one to that boy, whose name she had not been able to obtain yet.
Midori's cheeks reddened a bit when she was at the end of the memory. She had dashed out with a flustered look on her face that day though she couldn't understand why.
Shaking her head to chase those embarrassing memories away, she tied the bird to the top left corner of her cell phone where tiny holes have been made on purpose for that reason exactly. When she finished, she held it out in front of her face and smiled. "It looks so pretty, and cute, and green!~" Midori said out loud.
"Ahh! Midori-chan! What are you doing here?" A familiar voice caught her attention. Midori putted the cell phone in her bag.
It was Tsuna and everyone else; Yamamoto, Gokudera, Kyoko, and another girl trying to cling onto Tsuna's arm.
"Hahi! Who is this Kyoko-chan?" The girl asked. Midori looked at the girl for a bit, she had her hair in a ponytail and her hair color looked like it was between brown and a dark magenta. Her outfit consisted of a light yellow hoodie and some simple white pants.
"Ah! I forgot to tell you Haru-chan! This is Midori-chan and she is new to our school." Kyoko explained.
When Kyoko said this, Midori thought about the time when she had made people laugh with her self introduction and when she made fun of Tsuna unintentionally.
"Hmm~ What did I say he had again? Oh right! Tsuna looks like he has super fluffy hair! Why didn't I remember before! Gah! Now I really want to touch it! WAIT! But I can't! His girlfriend is right there… should I? NO! YES! NO! YES!" Before anyone can say or do anything, Midori went over to Tsuna, grabbed his shoulders putted one of her hands on his head, and just swished it around.
"Wah~ It really is soft!~" Midori thought, sparkles were literally in the background.
And then she snapped out of it, only to get confused looks from everyone, a death glare from the un-introduced girl, and a Tsuna that was slightly blushing in front of her.
"Oops! I'm sorry! I just couldn't stop myself aha ha…" Midori lightly apologized.
The group bursted out laughing … well, really only Yamamoto and Kyoko considering their clueless nature. Gokudera was not happy that someone had touched the tenth but his feelings were overlapped by "Haru-chan's" rage.
"W-wa-wa WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Haru yelled.
"Ahahaha~ I didn't mean to attack your boyfriend! I was just curious." Midori replied.
"B-BOYFRIEND?" Tsuna and Haru repeated Midori's word again.
"AH~ You guys aren't dating?" Midori questioned.
"NO! Of course not!" Tsuna yelled, trying to brush off the subject; he didn't want Midori's words of confusion to encourage Haru anymore than she already is.
"Oh… ok then! Ahh! Look at the time! My break is almost over I should be heading back." Midori said quickly as she wanted to leave the awkward scene as soon as possible. But then she remembered something.
"Hey! I just got my cell phone today! Let me get all of your numbers mmk?~" She said, pulling out her new, unscratched cell phone.
"Wow! It's so pretty!" Kyoko said.
"You really like green don't you? Haha" Yamamoto asked.
"Che, I don't know why you're so happy, it's just an ordinary phone." Gokudera asked, making Midori feel like she was acting slightly younger than she should have, not that she minded.
"What's so good about a phone like that?" Haru asked with anger still in her tone.
"When did you get it?" Tsuna asked.
"Ahh! This morning! Apparently the owner found out my birthday was yesterday and so he got me a cell phone." Midori answered.
"EHH?" Everyone except Gokudera and Haru cried.
"Why didn't you tell us before? We could have thrown you a party!" Kyoko offered.
"Naw it's ok Kyoko, I really don't need things like that anyways. You guys being my friends is enough for me~" And with that Midori smiled sweetly. Half the time, it was hard to tell if she was smiling because she was really happy or if it was because she wanted to kill someone. It would seem that this time, Midori was sincerely happy.
"Did the owner of the bakery also buy that stuffed animal for your phone?" Kyoko asked when she remembered that Midori was also holding it on her first day of school.
"Nope! I got this from a boy when he got it out of a crane machine! He refuses to tell me his name though." Midori said depressingly.
"Maybe we can help you!" Yamamoto offered cheerfully.
"Well does he go to out school?" Tsuna asked.
"Yea! He does! Err I think he's in the Disciplinary Committee or something like that… or at least that's what it said on the door when I went in the room…" Midori explained.
"T-tenth, you don't think it's…" Gokudera started.
"Wow I think it is him Tsuna." Yamamoto enthusiastically replied.
"Who? Who?" Midori was almost yelling now, she wanted to know his name so bad.
"Hibari-san." Tsuna answered.
"Hmm… I'm going to take a guess that that's his last name right?" Midori asked slowly.
"Yeah." Tsuna answer simply.
"Then what's his first name?" She asked back.
"HIIEEE! You don't plan on actually calling Hibari-san by his first name do you?" Now Tsuna was starting to panic a little.
"Oi! Do you have a death wish or something you stupid woman?" Gokudera yelled.
"NO! It's just that, that's what friends do right?" Midori said, adding yet another question.
"Ha! You say that you two are friends but he doesn't tell you his name? That doesn't seem like he wants to be your friend." Haru retorted harshly.
"I know." Midori said back with a gloomy face. But then, her expression changed.
"So that is why I've made it my mission to have him become my friend!" She said while pointing straight in a random direction, full of resolve. Sparkles were starting to come back to her.
"Midori-chan is so determined ne minna?" Kyoko questioned the group while giggling.
"I-I suppose she is" Tsuna slightly stuttered with a deadpan look on his face.
"Well! To be in a room with Hibari-san for 5 minutes and not get beaten up must mean she's something else ne Tsuna?" Yamamoto questioned.
"So so so! What is his first name?" Midori sounded more demanding this time.
"K-Kyoya." Tsuna merely squeaked.
"Hee~ What a name. I like it!" Midori exclaimed.
"Ahh! That's right! Phone numbers!" She reminded herself.
Midori exchanged numbers with Tsuna, Kyoko, and Yamamoto happily; Gokudera only complied because he said it was for the tenth's safety. Haru was a little more unwilling to give her's but Midori was getting through to her.
"Nee~ I haven't introduced myself yet right? My name is Hanabira Midori but you can call me Midori, I have a strange name ne?" Midori joked, trying to get the girl to like her.
"You're not after Haru's future husband are you?" Haru asked skeptically.
"Nope! Someone else is preoccupying me right now so I have no intention of falling in love with Tsuna! I just couldn't control myself when I remembered how much I wanted to touch his super fluffy looking hair!" Midori said rather cheerfully.
This made Tsuna deadpan once again.
"Ok then! My name is Miura Haru, but you can call me Haru! I hope we can be friends!" Haru said back, now happy of the fact that this new girl was not trying to steal her Tsuna from her.
Haru now was fully willing to exchange phone numbers with Midori.
"Oops! I should really be getting back to work now so bai!" Midori said already half running.
"Ahh wait Midori-chan! Let us go with you!" Kyoko yelled, catching up to her. "Kyoko-chan told Haru that Midori-chan works at Haru's favorite bakery is that right?" Haru asked.
"Yuppy! Lets go get some cake then!" Midori replied.
The girls waved back to Tsuna and the others and were on their way.
To Tsuna!~
"Hey," Yamamoto started. "Don't you think it's kind of weird that Midori got a stuffed animal from Hibari-san?"
"Che, I'm surprised she didn't get beaten up." Gokudera said, slightly agreeing with Yamamoto.
"Yeah, that's true…" Tsuna thought out loud. "Hey, do you guys think that Hibari-san might…"
"Might what Tsuna?" Yamamoto questioned curiously.
"I don't know, like Midori-chan?" Tsuna said, seeing that it was almost impossible for Hibari to even tolerate most people, let alone liking them. But, if what Midori said was true, then it was way out of character for Hibari to give her a stuffed animal.
"Who are you to get into my personal affairs herbivore?" A voice was heard by Tsuna and his two friends.
This made Tsuna's blood run cold. Hibari brought out his tonfas.
Hibari was right behind them and they never noticed! This was quite a scary situation.
"Oi! You wanna fight?" Gokudera yelled getting his bombs out.
"Haha! No need to fight guys!" Yamamoto said, trying to calm both sides down.
Hibari rushed towards the group and Tsuna's 'HIEES" were the last thing that was heard from the three of them.
To Midori!~
Heading back to the bakery, Midori worked her remaining shift that really wasn't so long, Kyoko and Haru offered to help but Midori kindly refused to have to her friends who are guests, work.
When Midori's shift ended, she walked over to them with a green tea cake. It was decorated with a green jell swirl over the top and a piece of white chocolate that had been shaped and dusted green to look like a tea leaf. "Wow! That looks so good Midori!" Kyoko said, admiring the cake.
"Ok, I think we should share this one!" Midori decided.
"You really like green Midori-chan?" Haru asked seeing so far almost everything Midori owned was green.
"Yup! I really like green! Why, I don't know, but the color is just so nice!" Midori replied while taking a bite out of the cake.
When the girls were done with the cake, Midori decided to ask them something.
"Hey, should I make a cake for Kyoya?"
Kyoko and Haru looked at her with shock. This caused Midori to flush before saying quickly "It's not what you think guys! It's just, not only did he give me a stuffed animal and introduced Namimori Middle to me. Before that, I didn't actually go to school, I just worked at the bakery all day. So technically, because of him, I was able have lots of nice friends." Midori said sincerely.
"Aww!" Kyoko and Haru cooed at the same time making Midori blush even more than she already did.
"B-but the thing is, I can decorate cakes, I just can't make them." Midori sighed.
"Do you want us to help you Midori-chan?" Kyoko offered.
"Naw, it's ok, you guys should get going soon, it's getting pretty dark." Midori replied, she didn't want her friends to stick around helping her and waste their time with something that she should really do herself.
"Hahi! You're right Midori-chan! It is getting dark!" Haru pointed out again.
"You guys need me to walked you home?" Midori asked, looking at the sun already more than halfway down the horizon.
"It's fine Midori-chan, we can walk home from here." Kyoko assured her. "You know," Kyoko spoke once again. "I don't really know Hibari-san that well, but I'm sure he would be happy to accept anything from you."
"Really?" Midori questioned, knowing Kyoko's answer already.
"Haru thinks so too! Hibari-san is so mean! Haru hopes Midori-chan will make him soft! Haru supports Midori-chan's mission!" Haru yelled, full of passion.
"Thanks guys." Midori said, pulling out another sincere smile.
When Kyoko and Haru left, Midori ran straight into the kitchen. It was pretty late so no one was there but her and the baking ingredients.
"Alright! Lets get started!" Midori hyped herself up and she started to look into the book of cake recipes that the owner had trusted her in keeping.
"I guess I should start with something simple first" She thought to herself.
After most of her hours going into mixing and baking the cake, she was finally done.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it read "3:00 AM" This made Midori flinch. Time had really passed her without her noticing.
She was too tired to taste the cake and she just putted a slice in the box.
After that, she went straight to bed without changing her clothes.
Morning~
Midori woke up later than she had planned so she quickly changed her clothes, brushed her teeth, grabbed the box that contained a slice of cake that she made yesterday, and ran out of the bakery leaving it to the owner who was already there.
She ran as fast as she could and she ran up the stairs and to her homeroom. Before noticing anyone's greetings, she glanced at the clock that showed her there was still 5 minutes left until the bell rung.
She walked over to her seat which was behind Kyoko's.
"Good morning Midori/chan!" Kyoko, Tsuna and Yamamoto greeted.
"Wahh~ Good morning everyone!" Midori greeted back while stretching.
"What's that box you got there Midori?" Yamamoto asked taking notice to the white box with some pink lines on it.
"That better not have anything that will harm the tenth!" Gokudera yelled, jumping in front of Tsuna.
"I-I'm pretty sure its nothing to worry about Gokudera-kun." Tsuna reassured his friend.
"This, is a secret! And only Kyoko-chan and I know what's inside!" Midori said, making Kyoko giggle.
"Good thing I was able to help cheer Midori on in making a cake." Kyoko thought to herself giving a knowingly smile to Midori.
Tsuna and Yamamoto decided to bush it off but Gokudera was still suspicious. Class dragged on and then lunch came.
"Hey Tsuna! Mind if I ask you a question?" Midori said, running up to Tsuna with the box being held behind her back.
"Umm sure, what do you want to know?" Tsuna replied a little worried about what she had in mind to ask. "Hopefully it wouldn't be anything about Hibari-san." Tsuna thought.
"Do you know where Kyoya is?" Midori asked innocently making Tsuna deadpan a third time at her crazy questions.
"You actually want to see Hibari-san? Well, it's not that people shouldn't want to see him, he's just really dangerous." Tsuna explained.
"It's fine! I actually just wanted to give him something. That's all!" Midori said, pressing on to have Tsuna tell her the locations of Kyoya.
"Hibari-san is usually either on the roof, or the Disciplinary Committee room." Yamamoto jumped into the conversation.
"You really want to die don't you?" Gokudera asked rhetorically.
"Thank you Yamamoto!" Midori yelled while running towards the Disciplinary Committee room.
Upon entering, she saw that Kyoya was not there but another person. "Ano~ Is Kyoya here?" Midori asked the person, which caught him by surprise.
"Usually, when someone was asking to see Kyo-san, they would be picking a fight with him, why is this girl asking for him?" the person thought to himself.
"Ahh! I forgot! My name is Hanabira Midori! Please just call me Midori if you like!" She said, getting used to introducing herself to others.
"A-ah, my name is Tetsuya Kusakabe, Kyo-san should be on the roof if I'm not mistaken, but-" He was interrupted when Midori thank him and left the room quickly. "Wait!" He yelled, but the green haired girl was already gone from his sight.
Midori made her way up the stairs and when she reached the top, she took her time to breathe a bit because those were some stairs! Midori opened the door that lead to the roof and she took a look around. What she saw made her orange eyes grow big and flicker with amusement.
"Hehe~ Looks like Kyoya is sleeping." Midori thought while taking in the sight of the sleeping figure. "Wahh! This is no time to stare! It's rude!" She shook her head vigorously and set the box down next to him. She looked at him again and giggled quietly. "For a guy, he has quite a lot of hair." Midori stated to herself when she saw how Hibari's bangs covered his eyes.
Midori unconsciously moved her hand and softly moved his bangs to the side. She then jumped back when she realized what he was doing.
Midori opened up her bag and took out a post-it and a pen. After writing her message, she stuck the post-it on the box then she took another piece of post-it and continued her message since one wasn't enough. And after she was done, she left quietly, trying not to wake him up; although her attempts had failed since Hibari had woken up when he heard the door open.
He kept his eyes closed because he was pretty sure it wasn't anyone dangerous, nevertheless keeping his guard up. When Hibari opened his eyes, there was no one in sight but he saw a box next to him. He read the post-its first.
"Hellow Kyoya! Haha! Are you surprised I know your name? Hehe I have my sources~ Anyways! I wanted to thank you for giving me the chance to experience school life and meet many new friends, as a token of my appreciation, you can have this cake!" Post-it number one said.
Hibari shifted his attention to the next post-it and it said "I hope you like it cuz I spent all night trying to make it!" Hibari opened the box to see a beautifully decorated cake was in it. Beside it, lied a plastic fork. At first he was skeptical but after reading her note, he decided to try the cake.
"Why did I not stop that girl when she touched me?" Hibari thought to himself. It was strange, if anyone had touched him like that, he would have bitten then to death. Why did he not bite her to death? Not to mention, he also did not the first two times he pulled his tonfas in front of her. As he took a bite into the cake, his thoughts stopped completely.
As beautiful as the cake looked, it tasted horrible! When he split the center of the cake open, he saw that it was still raw. "Hibari! Hibari!" Hibird chirped, coming close to land on Hibari's shoulder. "Is this stupid girl is trying to give me food poisoning? That or she just can't bake." Hibari sighed. "Why did I even take a bite in this thing?" While Hibari was questioning himself, Hibird flew over to the cake and ate the frosting.
"This is going to be quite an interesting year." He thought to himself.
