Picnic - Katekyo Hitman Reborn - Teach Me Love Oneshot 01

Summary: Series of oneshot that show what should have been shown during the little moments, the dates, and the lessons between Hibari and Haru in the fanfic, Teach Me Love.

My lack of KHR knowledge might make some things untrue or some characters OOC and I guess I'll explain some stuff at the end of the chapter, just so I won't spoil things! XD

I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn because if I did, there would be a lot more Haru loving!

Please forgive any mistakes, both character-wise and grammatically wise. lol, i still don't understand the beta system thing and I don't really have time to re-read and edit things.

Picnic

“Waah, isn’t today a wonderful day?” Haru cheered, raising her arms in an attempt to embrace the warm breeze that came their way. Standing behind her was Hibari who had his arms crossed, looking completely unimpressed by her. She felt her mood slightly falter when he quirked an eyebrow at her, as if waiting for her to elaborate. “Hahi, don’t be such a party-pooper Kyoya!”

“This is nonsense.” He said in deadpan.

“No, this is a picnic!” Haru cheered, pulling out the checkered picnic spread and opening it on top of lush green grass. They were currently on a very high hill with a tall tree providing them shade. Hibari was leaning against said tree and was still looking –at least in Haru’s eyes- a bit sulky.

Haru winced and tried to give him her best, cheerful smile. “Don’t just stand there Kyoya! A b-boyfriend is supposed to h-help their g-girlfriend!”

Hibari remained where he stood. “Judging by how we’ve interacted so far, the purpose of having a boyfriend seems to be so that a weak, helpless female will have a male catering to their every whims.”

Haru’s face flushed, but it had nothing to do with embarrassment. Anger was boiling in her veins and she stood up indignantly, pointing a finger at him. “That’s not true! It’s only good manners to help others!”

“Why should I help when I’m an unwilling participant?” Hibari countered smoothly, staring at the offending finger and wondering if he should just hurry and put her in her place. He had, after all, endured her annoying personality for so long and had still yet to see even an inkling of having the same power Sawada had shown.

“Just help Haru!” she yelled and Hibari gave an unnoticeable sigh.

Perhaps one more chance.

“See, didn’t Haru pack a lot of delicious food?” Haru asked, her eyes sparkling in delight at all the perfectly packaged foods. She had even gone as far as buying a cake from the pastry store. Haru Appreciation Day wasn’t until a week later, but since this was for the sake of helping her... ‘friend’... Haru decided that it would be worth buying.

“Hn.” He grunted, sitting stiffly on the picnic blanket.

“Don’t be shy, dig in!” she cheered, snapping her chopsticks apart. Still, Hibari refused to move, staring at the food apathetically. Haru almost huffed at how frustrating he was being and began to ponder on what to do next.

After all, this was supposed to be another date... right?

After the whole shopping fiasco, she had decided that they needed to relax, something soothe the nerves that had risen after the dangerous incident.

Of course, Hibari had declined, saying he was not stressed what-so-ever and that the excursion against the thugs had actually relieved the stress that had piled up when he had been forced to go shopping with her.

At this, Haru’s mood darkened ever so slightly. How dare he say she was causing him stress when she, who was doing him such a great favor, was always getting headaches because of how frustrating he was and because of how she was always avoiding Tsuna-kun and everyone else so that they wouldn’t catch her d-d-dating him.

Haru mentally shook her head. This was not what she should be focusing on right now! In order to get Hibari to participate she had to make this into a lesson and... well... er... this was a lesson, in the end. Though Haru had decided on a picnic so that they could relax, it was also because it was couples did together.

And when couples went on picnics together, they...

Haru’s face flushed as she stared at her chopsticks. Suddenly they had become the enemy. Oh why, oh why did she snap them before she had managed to coax Hibari to take his own pair?

Her stare turned into a glare and she almost growled. That’s right! How dare her chopsticks turn against her in such a manner when she had done nothing whatsoever to it?

Meanwhile, Hibari watched the fleeting emotions in Haru’s face. The girl was so expressive it bordered being ridiculous. The only thing Hibari didn’t understand was the cause of such emotions. Why was she embarrassed one moment and then angry in another when nothing had happened so far that could have caused it?

He was broken out of his revere when he saw her reach for one of the tamagoyaki when, to his surprise, she lifted it up towards him. Her face was still brightly flushed and she was looking everywhere but at him.

“H-Here,” she mumbled, trembling with discomfort.

He looked at her before looking at the shaking tamagoyaki.  Was she serious? “I decl-.”

“Just eat it!” she almost yelled. Couldn’t he see how uncomfortable this was for her? Why couldn’t he just take the egg? First the chopsticks and now him! Why was the world so against her? At this, Haru’s face flushed even darker. Noooo, why was she getting angry at him for? He didn’t do anything wrong! She struggled to give him a smile. “I-I mean... t-this is what g-girlfriend’s do for their b-boyfriends...”

He continued to stare at the egg. “...in repayment for helping them with menial, ridiculous tasks?”

Her eyes goggled and she almost threw the egg at this face. “No! T-This is because g-girlfriend’s w-want to f-feed their boyfriends!”

“For what reason? To bribe them, to-.”

Haru couldn’t take it anymore. She shoved the tamagoyaki into his mouth. It had taken her some time, but after spending some time with him, she had discovered that unless she did something really ridiculous and offensive, he wasn’t going to touch her.

.....hopefully shoving food into his mouth didn’t count as being ridiculous or offensive in his book.

Haru clenched her eyes shut and prepared herself for a possible blow to the head. But after a few long breaths of waiting, she realized that nothing was happening. Blinking, Haru slowly opened her eyes and saw Hibari looking at her impassively.

“It’s passable.”

Haru returned his stare before looking away, cheeks puffing indignantly. “Haru’s cooking is better than just passable!”

Haru slept soundly on top of the picnic blanket, overcome by exhaustion because of how ridiculously frustrating Hibari could be and because of the beautiful weather that demanded that one enjoy with a nap.

She was curled up against Hibari’s side, who was lying beside her... which he did only because he too enjoyed the weather and would normally be found slumbering on the rooftop of Namimori Junior High around this time if it wasn’t for this silly girl.

Still, he found himself closing his eyes, surprised that he didn’t even mind that the girl was burying her face into his side.

After all, it was a beautiful day.

Teaching this foolish girl that he hated crowding could wait until another time.
