Dating - Katekyo Hitman Reborn - Teach Me Love Oneshot 03

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.

Haru looked at closed door in front of her in set determination. Fear and doubt continued to haunt her, but she refused to let it control her. She had, after all, promised Kyoya that she would teach him about the joys of love! Er... powers, she meant the all-mighty power of love!

And so now, here she was, standing in front of Hibari’s office, in order to ask him out on a d.... d.... d.... date!

Haru blushed and she stumbled backwards, before facing the wall behind her in embarrassment. Oh gods, this was an impossible task. The last date had ended horribly and since then, they hadn’t gone on one since! How was she supposed to approach him on this topic anyways? He always made things so frustrated for her.

The scarf and picnic incident came to mind and Haru felt her gloom growing. Angrily she shook her head. This was not the time to be agonizing over the past. This was a new, fresh start and this time, they were going to succeed!

She stared at the door forlornly.

...but did she really have to be the one asking?

Sure, Kyoya had the social skills of a rock –hence the reason why he was taking lessons from her about love!- but really... did she really have to be the one to ask? Couldn’t he, for once, be the one by inquiring about why they weren’t going on a date again? He was smart, after all, so he must’ve noticed how despite how they started this whole lesson thing off with a date, they hadn’t gone to one since then!

Haru glowered at the door, cursing Kyoya for landing her in such an awkward situation, but squeaked when she heard the sound of voices down the hallway. Oh gods, that voice sounded like Tsuna-san! She couldn’t face him right now! Not like this! Especially not in front of Kyoya’s office!

With a frustrated and confused battle-cry, Haru roughly jerked the door open before slamming it behind her. She pressed her back against it and waited with abated breath, listening with her heart thudding in her throat as she heard Gokudera yelling at Yamamoto while Tsuna tried to stop the brewing one-sided fight.

When she heard their voices fading away, Haru exhaled heavily and slid down onto the floor in exhaustion.

Hearing their voices brought such sad nostalgia. She missed hanging out and laughing with them. Heck, she even missed arguing with Gokudera and hearing him calling her such rude names. But she couldn’t face them... not when she still wasn’t settled with just how much Tsuna loved Kyoko.

Until she was sure she could face them all without revealing to them her true feelings, she would have to wait.

“Did I not already inform you about how you are breaking school regulations with your mere presence being here?” a chilling voice inquired from above.

Haru looked up and screamed at the sight of Hibari looking down at her with tonfas at hand, a frightening purple aura surrounding him while he glared at her in obvious displeasure. Knowing Tsuna and the others were nearby, she slammed her hands over her mouth to muffle her scream and waited until her heart wasn’t about to jump out of her chest before starting to yell at him.

“Don’t scare Haru like that!”

“Did you hear what I said?” Hibari asked in the same foreboding tone. “What are you doing here?”

“Haru is here to see you,” she said through gritted teeth. “A boyfriend is supposed to be happy when their girlfriend took the trouble of trying to see their boyfriend, not threatening them with weaponry!”

“Do you understand just how many rules you are breaking right now? Why would that bring happiness to anyone?” Hibari countered with frank irritation, though –to Haru’s relief- he placed the tonfas away. “Hurry with whatever you’re planning and leave.”

Haru blinked. “You’re not going to hit Haru?”

Hibari sighed. “Whether I hit you or not, you’ll continue to do whatever you wish.” He couldn’t even begin counting how many times he had threatened her and she had still popped up in Namimori Junior High without his consent. “So hurry and leave.”

“How rude,” Haru said in a huff, but giggled when she saw Hibari twitch. She was then about to tell Hibari her plan for their next lesson, but froze when she realized what she was going to have to do... again! Oh why, why, why, why! Why did she have to go through this torment again? Wasn’t it enough that she done this already at least once?

“Out with it,” Hibari said with an impatient growl.

“Do... do... do... do...” Haru chanted, a heavy blush staining her cheeks while she looked off into a far away corner.

Hibari watched her fumble and scowled. Walking over to her, he grabbed her by the head, causing her to squeak. Leaning closer, he said slowly so that her small brain could comprehend his words. “What. Do. You. Want?”

“Do you want to go out on a date?” Haru blurted out. Oh gods, he was too close to her. His presence was suffocating her. He needed to get away from her!

He paused and for a moment, Haru thought she was finally going to get a normal reaction from him. Was he stunned that she asked him out? Would he... would he blush like a normal boy who was caught off guard after being asked out by a pretty girl like Haru?

“No.”

Haru almost fell backwards when he released her, having lost her balance due to his blunt and cold reply. Regaining her footing, she looked at him incensed. “What? Why not?”

“Because going out on a date is pointless and a waste of time.” Hibari said, making his way towards his desk. Silly girl, bothering him with such trivial things. He had paper work to take care of and later on, he had to make patrols around the town.

“How dare you say that?” Haru stormed in front of him, slamming her hand on top of his desk. In a way, she was starting to get a sense of déjà-vu by this conversation. This was so much like when she had first gotten entangled with Hibari, when he had spurned the power of love. Was she even getting through to him? Was what they all did pointless? “It’s so couples can enjoy each other’s company! They’re going out with each other because they love each other and want to be with each other!”

“Dates are pointless. And I can’t fathom how just by spending time with people, strength can be found.” Hibari noted. “That is not training. It’s just time wasted by people doing frivolous activities.”

“That’s not true. By spending time with another, you grow to know more about them. Maybe you come to even love them. And by falling in love with them, just by getting to know them better, you grow to care for them and because you want to protect them, you grow stronger.” Haru argued.

“If that is so, I have yet to see it.”

“I will show it to you!” Haru said with thorough conviction. No one can survive without knowing about the wonders and powers of love. “I promise you, I’ll prove to you the power of love!”

Hibari stared at Haru with his trademark stoicism before he returned his attention towards the pile of paper on his desk. “You may try to do so, but I still consider dates to be pointless.”

“What? Why?” Haru demanded. Gah, was there no way of getting through to this thick rounded-headed jerk?

He stopped what he was doing once again and looked her square in the eye, obviously displeased. “Because we are already always spending time with each other, but they are not deemed dates. Why must we go on even more outings that you believe are deserving of being titled ‘dates’ when we’re already being tormented by each other’s company?”

“Hahi! What do you mean tormented?”

Oh goodness, has she really taught him nothing?

He should have stopped talking before he got to the insulting part!
