Rain and Storm

They noticed. Takeshi had always acted weirdly. Coincidentally, it was mostly because of a certain silver haired, emerald eyed Italian teen.

At first it was Tsuna.

He practically stopped when he noticed that his best friend seemed to be more livelier. Unexpectedly, it was because of Hayato–who only got irritated at him at his laidback personality–and it shocked Tsuna to see fondness in his eyes.

Hayato would stomp off but Takeshi would persistently go after him, continuing to provoke the other playfully.

It was a surprise to realize that Takeshi liked Hayato who always got irritated at him. They are literally water and fire with Takeshi's calm and goofy nature and Hayato's explosive and short-tempered attitude.

But they do say opposites attract. And Tsuna doesn't really mind if ever they started dating, he can see that the bomber seemed to always get flustered with Takeshi's advances.

Tsuna simply smiled at their interaction and occasionally reprimanded his Italian friend to stop with profanities and the raven-haired to stop teasing the other.

Takeshi's smile never looked brighter as he watched Hayato grumble under his breath.

The next was the ever so observant girls.

Haru noticed the way Takeshi acted relaxed while Hayato barked at him irritatedly.

Haru was so dumbfounded by the realization that she practically froze, her hand holding chopsticks, halfway through carrying the salmon sushi to her own mouth. Noticing her sudden actions, Kyoko had turned to look at the same direction, only freeze just like her friend.

Well, why did they freeze up like that? Let me explain what they saw.

Takeshi was leaning on the counter in a laidback manner as he gazed at a grumbling Hayato who was shoving sushi after he swallowed. And if you actually looked closer, you will see how Hayato's ears would look redder as seconds passed, Takeshi's gaze only became intense as the time passed.

"Haru-chan, do you think..." Kyoko trailed off as she watched how Takeshi laughed heartily as Hayato became flustered and started calling him different kind of insulting names.

"Let's just stay quiet, Kyoko-san." Haru said as she turned her attention to her own sushi. Kyoko looked at her worriedly.

Well Haru seems to have developed feelings for Hayato but from what they have seen, it seems like it will end up only one-sided. But Haru was fine, as long as Hayato has those beautiful sparkles in his emerald eyes.

The next to notice was unexpectedly Ryohei.

He and Hayato was bickering about their heads again when he noticed a prickle on the back of his head. That made Ryohei stop the bickering. Tsuna then came to distract Hayato with other things.

Ryohei looked at the people behind him to search for the person who looked at him with such...threat? He didn't understand but the feel of that gaze was definitely angry-kind.

His eyes laid on Hibari first who in turn sharply glared at him. The feel was different so Ryohei just turned to look at the next person which was the timid girl, Chrome who was speaking with the child Lambo who obnoxiously chattered about himself.

Chrome met his eyes and she simply smiled. It definitely wasn't her.

He then turned to the last person, Takeshi.
