Leave me alone [KHR Fanfic]

Chapter 5

"I like you, Hayano Gokudera." He said coolly but inside, his heart was pounding so fast he thought he could die. He felt as if he could no longer face her as he turned he tomato red face away from her. His fingers were trembling, fearing her answer.

Hayano stared at him. All her brain functions used to think stopped. She could not believe her ears. Did she just hear something that would never come out of his mouth? No way, but she could feel blood rushing to her cheeks. She looked left and right nervously, hoping no one saw this nor heard this. This is too embarrassing!

Getting no answers from her, G sighed in disappointment and his tremors stopped. He faced the clouds and took a deep breath in. "You don't have to return my feelings. I guess it would never happen between us." He finished and began to walk when he was stopped by a tight grip on his clothes. Startled, he turned around and faced the blushing silver head.

"H-hey... Do you still need anything?" A trickle of sweat rolling down the side of his face. He is extremely nervous and was sure she felt it as well.

Her head hung low, as if the floor became a very interesting object to see. Her voice trembled slightly. "Just, what is love? What is the feeling of liking somebody?" She started, beginning her endless rant of different theories around the same thing. "I don't know why but I've felt this before. For someone I held dear that was killed right in front of my eyes. Was it for him, or was it for my family? Was it puppy love, something temporary or familial love, a feeling for my family." G could not believe a thing he was hearing. This girl is just too theory based!

"I can feel my chest tightening, my heart pounding fiercely against my chest whenever I hear your name. I don't feel like grabbing your hand because it is so sweaty, it may just lose its grip. I think I'm getting a fever because my forehead is really hot, my face is very red. Is this a simple crush or a heavy one that will make me kill anyone in my way? What exactly is love? This giddy feeling that is pounding in my head? I feel light, very light, like I'm floating when I heard those words. G, what am I feeling-" her words were cut off when G lifted her chin up and kissed her. Startled, her shoulders jerked up but she did not push him away, accepting the it rather awkwardly.

"Stop squabbling and look at me." The man said, cupping her cheeks, directing her eyes at him. That stormy pair of red eyes that sparked attraction. Her breath hitched as she looked at him. "I don't care about your past. Neither should you."

Hayano felt anger that moment. Is he asking her to forget everything that happened before? She tightens her grip on his shirt. "But it is what that shapes us!"

"I know! But you should also step forward and look towards the future. The past is already over. Look ahead!" He grips her shoulders and shook her lightly, hoping to knock some sense into her. He knows the feeling of losing a family , he did lose his after all. But because he looked forward, tried to survive independently, he met Giotto and the others and now, he had a new mix-up family to care about.

Putting their forehead together, he stared intently at her eyes, as if her eyes reflect everything. "Look here, Hayano. You have your princess here, going through the same thing as you. She lost everything, just like you. Heck, she almost lost her life if she wasn't saved by Vindice-"

"How?! How did you know about her getting saved by the Vindice?!" Hayano created a sudden outburst. She did not tell anybody about the fact that Vindice saved them. She did not even utter a word about them! G scratched his chin and chuckled apologetically. "Sorry, Giotto's intuition cleaned up everything." He was a bit shocked when the other cussed in French as soon as she heard it. "Anyway, now that you have each other, shouldn't you start moving on? Tsunahime seemed to be doing it fine."
