Target Fifteen

The moment Takeshi hits the bed, his phone rang like it's a routine. He checked the time and noticed it was 10:30 pm. He shrugged and answered without looking.

"Moshi moshi?" He said, laying on his back.

"Takeshi."

It was Hanami who sounded exhausted but also lacing some threatening tone on her voice. Takeshi quickly thought of anything that made her mad.

"Hanami? What's up?" He asked.

"I want to ask you a question."

"Uh--okay? What is it?"

There was a pregnant paused before Hanami said, "how did you know that you like Gokudera-san?"

Wow, that came out of nowhere, Takeshi thought, blushing slightly. How did he know? "Well, didn't you said I knew it through jealousy? Then I thought it was because I was jealous as a friend but as I spend more time with Gokudera... I started noticing new things. The butterflies in my stomach, the adrenaline rush when he's close to you, or just the thought of him makes you go smile." He explained, smiling right now as he thought of Hayato.

He thought it'll be awkward with him, knowing that he likes the other. But the more time he's away from Hayato, the more yearning and clingy-ness he felt. He felt like he's loving Hayato more whenever they are apart.

Hanami sighed on the other line making Takeshi snap from his trail of thoughts.

"Anyways, why asked me that?" He asked then gasped, sitting upright. "Don't tell me you like Gokudera!? Because I may be a man and you're my friend but I won't give him to you!" He exclaimed, panicking.

"No, you idiot! I don't like him!" Hanami exclaimed.

Takeshi blinked. He found no lies in her words. "Then what is it?"

There was a long pause from the other line. Like Hanami was thinking about if she should tell Takeshi. She doesn't want to make things awkward but Chrome made her a mess. Her head is a mess. Her heart is a mess. What is real and what is the truth?

Then a shuddering sigh from her. "Do not ever tell anyone else about this conversation, understand?" Her voice threatening and dark.

Takeshi gulped and nodded to the nothingness. "Yeah, sure. I swear."

"Chrome has her suspicion that I like... Tsuna-san?"

Well this is certainly a surprise, Takeshi frowned and completely noticed the worry on Hanami's tone.

"Okay... Is that why you asked me?"

"Yes... I'm not sure about anything yet! Like this is all so new to me. I never liked someone else, Takeshi. I thought I couldn't love anymore when my parents died yet here I am was told by Chrome that I like Tsuna-san! It's just---I'm so confused. I don't know how to feel about it..."

Takeshi can hear the desperation in her voice. As if Hanami doesn't like not understanding, not knowing about things. Well, she is someone that could be like that.

He hummed. "I can't give you anything, after all, this is about your feelings. I can't dictate what you should or should not feel, Hanami."

Hanami groaned. "I knew you were going to say that... I just wish that someone would tell me what to do! This is all so confusing..." She muttered.
