A/N: Because I was bored at 5:00 in the morning I wrote this. And because I love Goku/Haru and KHR.
"Because I love you"
"K-Kyoko-chan. I... like you." Tsuna blushed fiercely as the words came out. He had finally worked up the courage to confessed his love to his childhood crush Kyoko Sasagawa. He wanted to do this for the longest time, his heart rate sped up ten times faster and the palms of his hands were sweating. He wanted to tell her how he enjoyed seeing her everyday, her smile, the way she encouraged him, just her presence being around him made him happy. He wanted her for himself and to no-one else.
"...Tsuna-kun."
Kyoko was a bit shocked from the boys' sudden declaration of love for her. She had always cared for and admire Tsuna for the boy he was. He was caring,sweet,loving and she knew he'd become someone great in the near future. But she knew in her heart that Tsuna wasn't the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She had always though of him as a friend and her second brother. They could never be together, she knew that.
"Sorry." She said sadly to the boy in front of her. "...I like you...I really do. But-"
"It's ok, Kyoko-chan." He had to stop her from saying anything more. Because Kyoko is an innocent angel from the heavens that could do no wrong. He knew she didn't want to reject him, he knew that she was trying to find deep down inside her the love he felt her her, but nothing. She just didn't like him like that. His heart was broken, but showing that to her would only break her heart as well. So he gave her a reassuring smile instead.
"I am just glad that I was able to confess." He said happily.
They had become close friends after that. They would talk with one another just like best friends would. He didn't stutter around her anymore and she didn't feel sad around him. He was happy, because he had found a new love. She was always with him through everything, trying to win his heart ever since they were in middle school. It was weird because he found her annoying at times, hyperactive, but also sweet and caring. He always cared for her, the girl that went by the name of Miura Haru. He was sure she was the one and this time he would not fail.
This girl had declared her love for him so many times that now it was his time to declare his love for her.
They were walking home with each other that day, Kyoko, on his left, Haru on his right. They talked and laughed aimlessly with each other and he was more then happy just being right here with her. He smiled every time he saw her smile, giggle, laugh, his heart skipped beats just being around her. He was sure she was the one. He was never so sure in his entire life, that she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Because Sawada Tsunayoshi was in love with Miura Haru.
It was time he told her just how much he cared for her.
"Hahi." She suddenly said in surprise. "Gokudera-Kun!" She smiled brightly at the half Italian bomber.
"Women." He grunted back at her.
"It's Haru..HARU." She retorted back with a gently smile.
Gokudera rolled his eyes, but returned her smile with his own. "Haru."
She couldn't wait forever.
"Tenth." Gokudera called out to him, holding Haru's hand in his as they walked over to Kyoko and Tsuna.
Tsuna eyed the couple holding hands and a pang surged through his heart. But because he loved her, he smiled and waved happily back at Gokudera.
"Gokudera, Haru, come on." He called to them.
Because he loved seeing her smile, because he loved seeing her happy, because he loved seeing them happy. He let go.
He smiled, just for them.
