Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Ai no Tane
Chapter 13

The song Kono Yubi Tomare that being played on a speaker fills her quiet room.

Lying at the bed is Mashiro with close eyes. Soon those eyes reveals themselves as the lids open. Still unmoving Mashiro is choosing what kind of dance she should do at her incoming competition.

She wanted a performance that she could pour her emotions on it, but those feelings is her problem right now.

Mashiro doesn't doubt her love for the brunet, but all the claims of his friends and her own are the ones that putting her in tight spot.

She loves him very much.

How will she believes that he really love her?

As long as those words won't come out from him, she'll just keep thinking that she's just one of his close friends.

A song that would definitely describe those feelings.

Kind of sad but she might be able to pull it off, instead of a performance that she might get easily distracted and maybe disturb.

She browse to her playlist, and consider some, like: Satsuriku no Tenshin's Pray but it's so heavy, so she put it aside.

Going through half of her playlist Mashiro got tired that she stops and once again closes her eyes and thinks.

She then start to consider using the usual musics that often being used in skating competitions like: Dance of Sugar Plum.

That's a good one too.

Her surrounding went quiet for a moment as her speaker changing to the next song.

Mashiro stays still and have no plans on fixing her silent speaker.

She rolls on her bed, now laying down on her stomach, at the same time her speaker started to plays a beautiful rhythm.

"Tiny Light... huh." She listening to the song thoughtlessly.

During the time she's in slump, the time she didn't know what she should do next, the time her world is in darkness, Tsuna came, like a small speck of light that started illuminating her world, that slowly changing her surrounding to the point when she noticed it's already bright and sparkling.

Tsuna is her tiny light.

That must be one of her reason for loving him, and now she constantly seeing his kind of everyday life and able to learn more something about him, Mashiro is dangerously falls to him more.

"... this might work."

[Tsuna loves you]

'That would be lovely if it's true. But...'

[I want to continue our friendship.]

'That's a total rejection Fumiya, Takeshi-kun.' She moan as she gripping on her sheets.

Suddenly her phone buzzes, without any intention of going out from her bed, her hands travel blindly searching for her phone.

After a while of being lazy, Mashiro's hand found it and press the receive button. Without looking at the caller id she puts her phone on her ear, and tiredly answer.

Her eyes widen in shock and she quickly sits straight.

Why? Why is he calling?

"Tsuna!"

[Hello Mashiro! Etto... are you busy this incoming Tuesday?]

"No... why you ask?"

[Well there will be festival at Namimori Shrine. Etto... would you come with me?]

Mashiro blinks, then reddened.

Tsuna is asking her for a date--

"Festival? I would love to!"

[Everyone will be there!]

'Right it isn't a date, everyone will be there for sure.'

She agreed with melancholic smile.

As if Tsuna hears the sadness on her tone, he ask if she's okay that she instantly answer with a lie.

[Then let's meet at--]

After receiving the details for the upcoming day, Mashiro ends the call.

She's now a blushing mess.

Yeah, everyone will be there so she don't know why is her heart pounding rapidly.

Tsuna brought down his phone.

Alone on his room, no one able to see his face being all red right now.
