~One week later~

"Another day of school." He groaned. One week had passed. He rolled over on his bed. The glaring sun ruined his slumber. He grunted, but got up. "I get it, I get it." He sighed, his conversation with the joyful sun brought thoughts of how this all started.

He got ready for school. It was like any other day. More interaction. Less avoiding. The difference in everything.

He closed the gate to his house leaving for school. "Have a good day." Nana waved from the front porch. She expected his usual reply of nothing.

But he turned to her and smiled. "I-I'll try mom, you to ok?" He waved and walked for school.

"Tsu-kun?"

Kyoko Sasagawa was waiting a few houses in front of his. Smiling. She rose her arm, waving at her true-... Nevermind.

"Tsuna-kun!"

'Sasagawa Kyoko, the only person I can't break away from. We grew up together and have shared alot... I guess it's expected, right? But why?'

"Hello Kyoko-chan." He slung his school bag over his shoulder like always. 'We haven't shared any other nights, and I don't know if she only did that to keep me on her hook, or if she honestly is trying with this friendship. But for some reason I want to believe it's earnest between us.'

They began to walk side by side. She leaned forward a little and turned her head to him. She observed his face intently.

"Can you stop."

She didn't. She was blinking with the bliss of curiosity. "I don't know which one I like more?"

He decided to acknowledge her and glare with his narrow eyes. "Nani?"

"This side of you, or the other one."

He sighed with a facepalm. "Kyoko-chan what are talking about?" He was sure she had never seen him in hyper dying will mode. 'Most who see it, think I have a personalty disorder.' He inwardly cringed.

"Well, right now you're acting like the sarcastic Dame-Tsuna." Her eyes shadowed when she said his name. She didn't like calling him that. "...but sometimes you're honest with yourself and those around you. You're more sensitive, but at the same time really strong too." She shook her head, with a sigh and a smile. "So I can't decide, because one always makes me laugh and the other makes me feel safe. But I guess it doesn't matter much, because it's still you."

"Kyoko-chan..."

Both stopped walking at the same time sharing a moment with meaningful eyecontact.

It was interrupted with hurried steps behind them.

"Hahi! Kyoko-chan and Tsuna-san? Haru must be running late!"

"Good morning to you too."

"Good morning Haru-chan."

Kyoko's words stayed in the back of his mind. Haru noticed his thoughtful eyes and the way Kyoko kept sneaking peaks at Tsuna then look away with a bashful smile.

Haru forced herself not to bite her bottom lip. It would of tasted like a bitter memory if she did.

"Tsuna-san!" Confessing to him would be her biggest hurdle! She almost yelled his name, from forced confidence. He was opening the door from his classroom.

"Hiee! H-Haru?" He almost had a heart attack. He was leaning on the door taking deep anxiety breaths.

She giggled. She loved his no good nature. Wait. His eyes were puffy. '... And Kyoko just left the class too.' She sagged her shoulders and dropped her head. Now didn't feel like a good time to tell him how she really felt. Tsuna-san was obviously rejected, and she felt guilty for being happy about it.

And she never quite found the opportunity to confess.

"Um, what is it Haru?"

She perked her head up. She waved her hands and lied. "Nothing Tsuna-san, just, eh, looking for any juicy storys!"

Haru glanced at Tsuna then away. 'Why is it always like this.'
