Sky's Embrace

Ch. 5 - Meeting and Cake

It was a Monday morning as Tsuna slowly walked on the usual path to school. He was walking unusually slowly, in fact, he was almost dragging his feet. Today, Tsuna was finally going to talk to Michiru, and he wasn't too happy with the idea. He knew if he didn't, though, that she wouldn't stop bugging him.

"Let's just get this over with..." He sighed. He could see the school building in the distance along with students walking to their classes. As he neared the school entrance, Tsuna could spot Gokudera and Yamamoto waited for him.

"Good morning, Juudaime!" Gokudera greeted.

"Yo, Tsuna." Yamamoto added.

"Hey, guys." Tsuna replied and gave a small smile. Gokudera and Yamamoto smiled back and the three headed inside the school building.

"So, you're going to talk to her?" Yamamoto asked.

"Mhmm." Tsuna answered.

"We're right here." Gokudera stated.

The grouped neared their classroom until the three of them stood in front of the classroom door.

"Here goes nothing." Tsuna muttered as he opened the door to the classroom. The class was just like how it normally was on a Monday morning. Some kids were sitting, others were standing, and few were in groups chatting with each other. Towards the front of the class was Michiru, who was sitting at her desk shuffling through some papers. Tsuna sighed and proceeded to his desk while his two companions went to their desks. They set their school bags down and Gokudera and Yamamoto walked over to Tsuna's desk.

The three of them glanced at Michiru while she stood up and looked around the room and spotted the three teens. She smiled and quickly walked over to Tsuna's desk where the three were at.

"Hey, Tsuna!" She said cheerfully.

"Hi." Tsuna replied plainly.

"Yay! You replied this time!" Michiru cheered.

"Sure." Tsuna sighed.

"What's with you? Lately you've been all gloomy and you won't talk to me." Michiru pouted.

"Whose fault do you think that is?" Gokudera scoffed. Michiru glanced at him and frowned a little, and then turned back to Tsuna.

"Hey, I had to leave for family matters, but when my parents told me I would be coming back, I thought about how I would see you again!" Michiru explained.

Yamamoto listened to the group and stayed silent, making sure to watch Michiru carefully in case she was planning something.

"What do you want, Michiru?" Tsuna asked the girl with an unemotional face.

"I just thought we could hang out... you know, spend some time together, visit some shops, play some games." Michiru listed.

"Can't you just hang out with someone else?" Tsuna asked.

"Huh? Well, no, it wouldn't be the same, you're a fun person." Michiru stated. "Besides, I like you, Tsuna." She had a sparkly smile on her face.

Tsuna's eyes widened at the statement and he could only stare back at Michiru in confusion and shock.

"She... likes me?" Tsuna thought. "But... she... said... that..."

Tsuna's mind was a mess as he tried to sort through all the events that had happened with Michiru and then fit in what she said today.

"She said she didn't like me, but now... she does?" Tsuna thought.

Gokudera and Yamamoto were quick to know what was happening. Gokudera stood in front of Tsuna's desk, standing between Tsuna and Michiru. Yamamoto acted as though he was checking the time and told Michiru,
