Summary: There was a reason why Reborn got Haru involved with the Mafia. Even if she was useless to them in fights and even if she couldn't provide as much emotional strength as Kyoko, she was vital and without her, there would just be no Vongola. G86/GiottoHaru

Genesis: Chapter 25
HappyFace1886
There
had been no reply from Attilio after Haru’s bold declaration and judging by how
he hadn’t barked at her to get up so that they could head to the village
together, perhaps today would be a day of absence for her there. Maybe it would
draw suspicion from the elders of the village that she wasn’t present, but Haru
was too tired to care. Giotto’s hold was warm and inviting that she allowed
herself to be cuddled, to forget the problems that currently plagued her.
“You’re
awake, aren’t you, Giotto-sama?” she whispered tiredly.
A hand began
to run through her hair gently. “For a while. How did you know?”
“I may
not have known for you long, but I know you never sleep deeply.” Haru
whispered. In the mornings she'd wake up to see him sleeping like the dead as he clung to her like a life-line, but in the middle of the night, he'd never be at peace. And then there were those naps they took in the forest. Each time he’d immediately wake up from the slightest sounds. Now she couldn’t help but wonder if it was because
he had to be cautious of the dangerous animals while he lived in the words.
...or maybe the villages tried to do something while he had his guard down at night.
The
thought made her sick and she wrapped her arms around him tighter.
“I’m
sorry.”
“Hahi,
why are you sorry?”
She felt
him press his face against her hair. “For causing you so much trouble.”
“Giotto-sama
is never any trouble,” Haru said in protest, pulling away so that she could see
his face. Further words from her were silenced when he raised his hand and
cupped her cheek, his thumb brushing against the tear stains on her face. He
gave her a sad smile.
“I made
you cry.”
His words
were enough to actually make her start crying again. She clutched the hand on
her face and shook her head wildly. “No, it’s not you. I-It’s-.” her breath
hitched up and she knew she was going to cry again. No, she had to be stronger
than this! She had to stop being so emotional!
And yet
it was impossible, especially when he was so gentle with her like this, him
pulling her down until he had her firmly on top of his chest, the way he would
soothingly run his fingers up and down her back, his strong warm arms
protecting her from the evils that made her cry. It frustrated her how pathetic
she was, having to be comforted by the person who actually endured the hardship
that was making her tear up in the first place.
“Thank
you for crying for me,” he spoke sincerely. “But there’s no need for you to cry
now. It is in the past.”
“And it’s
still in the present,” she spoke without thinking and with such ferocity that
it stunned herself. Apparently she was angrier about this situation than she
thought. Haru felt Giotto tense up beneath her and she clutched onto his shirt
tightly, swallowing hard as she tried to convey the words she knew was buried
inside her mind. “As long as you remain here, it will never end.”
“Haru-.”
He felt a brief moment of panic. What was she saying?
“I’m
serious Giotto-sama,” she would have pulled away again if it wasn’t for how
tightly, how desperately, he was clutching onto her. “The people at the village
will continue trying to hurt you! You have to get away from here. There’s so
much out there in the world, so many things to see, so many experiences to
make. I don’t want you here surrounded by people who hate and mistreat you like
this!”
“So you
want me to leave?” he spoke hollowly and Haru, too caught up in her emotions,
didn’t notice and nodded vigorously.
“Yes, to
somewhere far away from here, away from these people, away-.”
“-from
you?”
Haru
froze, her mouth agape. What did he just say? Unfortunately, her silence did
nothing to appease the growing apprehension in Giotto’s mind.
She
wanted him to leave, to be far away from this village. To be away from her. Sure,
it was because she wanted him to be away from the villagers, but she was also
implying that she would no longer be with him from then on. He understood it
was for his own benefit, but did Haru not understand just what it would do to
him to be away from her? Did she not realize just how much more pain he would
be if he was away from her?
“Giotto-sama-.”
“I won’t
leave.” He spoke firmly, his arms tightening around her.
“Gio-.”
“I don’t
mind the villagers,” he added quickly. “They don’t bother me as long as I don’t
approach them. I-.”
“They’re
planning to use me to get to you!” Haru yelled when she realized he wasn’t
going to listen to her calmly. “And I refuse to let that happen! I don’t know
what their plan is, but I don’t want to be part of anything that will hurt you.”
“And I
don’t care what they do to me as long as you’re with me!” he yelled back,
raising his voice for the first time since she had met him.
The
shock was apparent due to the long pause in silence, leaving him to wonder what
was going through Haru’s mind when she spoke tentatively. “...Giotto-sama?”
It was
too late to take back his words, but it didn’t matter much. That had always
been the truth for him and he had never hidden his affection towards her. He
had never been one to beg, but he didn’t mind pleading with her to stay, to
always give those sweet gentle smiles he had not seen in years. She was the
first to have showered him with uninhibited trust even though they had only
just first met, the first to speak her own mind so boldly around him, and...
the first to defend him to earnestly even though they were not of kin. Even now
she still worried about him when it was her who could possibly be in danger due
to the elder’s plans.
Their
time together may not have lasted for years, but she had gifted him with so
much already and he didn’t want to let it all go, even if it meant getting out
of this restricted world of his.
“Please
Haru...”
“I’m not
going anywhere,” she spoke quietly, but it was enough to pierce through him. “I
promised to stay with you, Giotto-sama. As long as you want me here, I’ll do my
best to stay. And this means out of this village as well.”
The hope
that gathered in his chest was suspended as he tried not to raise his
expectations too much. “You’ll leave... the village... with me?”
“Of
course!”
Was this
a dream?
Was that
passing whimsical thought he had only hours before actually coming true?
Could he
truly leave this dreaded place and with Haru as well?
“It will
be hard out there.”
“I’ve
always been a hard worker.”
“There’s
a chance we may meet dangerous people.”
“The
people here are equally dangerous,” Haru scoffed.
“We may
not-.”
“I’m
coming with you Giotto-sama,” she said firmly. “And nothing you say will
convince me otherwise.”
“...but
why? What reason would you have in wanting to come with me?” there was nothing
she could possibly gain by being with him. While it did overjoy him that she
wanted to go with him, but he feared for her reasons... what if he was actually
taking advantage of her kind nature? What if he was actually subconsciously manipulating
her into coming with him with how desperate he was sounding?
That
would be worse than separating from her.
“Because
I’m...” could she say friend? She did regard him as a close friend by now,
but... but... after that kiss... what could she say? What were they now? Just
how much of the past had she distorted? And what did she feel for him anyways? Oh
gods, it was a good thing Giotto couldn’t see her face right now. “...I care
for you Giotto-sama... and you are much more important to me than this village.”
“...you
care for me...”
Haru
nodded against his chest. “Yes, I do.”
“And you
want to come with me because you want to.” he spoke slowly, trying to digest
the words into his mind. It was like an unending mantra, his doubt and
hesitation slowly clearing away as he clung desperately to hope.
“Yes...”
The
relief came tumbling out and he wasn’t able to control himself, his embrace
tightening even further as his heart sped up in his excitement. Haru was coming
with him, out of this village, because she wanted to! She really didn’t want to
part with him. She really wanted to stay!
He
smiled and clung onto her, speaking the words he believed he would never be
able to say. “When are we leaving?”

AU: Again, tried for a long chapter and failed. I'm also not satisfied with how this turned out... >__> hope you guys like it though.
I didn't like it.....I LOVE this! Their relationship is getting so cute and furthering down to them becoming a couple! I literally was squealing when I was reading this! Awe Giotto truly cares for Haru and Haru cares for him!! I love it,great work! \(^_^)/-M
ReplyDelete...no joke, I think my heart almost stopped when I read your first line. xD glad that's not the case. Yes, those two are so mushy and cute! Makes me just want to hug the life out of both of them!
DeleteLol,sorry if I almost made your heart stop! XD Omg,I want to do that too! Gah,this was seriously cute!! ^_^ I truly am enjoying this story.-M
Deletehehe, it's cool. :) and I'm glad you're enjoying the fanfic. I'm sure if it wasn't for you reviewers, I probably wouldn't update. Might've started the fanfic, but it would've died somewhere along the way since I'd have no real motivation to write other than my own self-satisfcation.
DeleteThen,I'm glad that you keep on writing! I will review each of your chapters,stories and etc. to show you how much I love them! ^_^ -M
Delete:) Aww, thx! I feel a little pumped up now! Time to hunt down some plot-bunnies!

ReplyDelete-Brittney
Haha, the mental imagery was so cartoony in my head. I can see you spinning around happily! And when you said fluffy, it reminded me of the Despicable Me scene where the little girl goes "It's so Fluffy I'm gonna to Die!" Thank you for the review! *hugs back!*

THE FEEELS! THEY'RE TAKING OVER!!! xD Those two are so sweet it's rotting my teeth! Thanks for the lovely review!
DeleteTo be honest, I was a little skeptical about this pairing, mainly because of the whole centuries apart thing. But, you make it work, and now I'm addicted to G86 <3 Their relationship is so innocent and sweet, I just wanna hug them both and squeeze them tightly because they are that cute together. I really can't wait for the update, I'll probably be squealing and giggling my way through the chapter like I did with this one xD
ReplyDeleteI wanna read more of this pairing, but it's hard to find a G86 fic D:

Giotto must feel really relieved that Haru is with him now, so he's not alone anymore :') I can't wait for the update, because I'll probably be squealing and giggling my way through it, just like I did with this chapter.
ReplyDeleteI wanna read more of this couple, but finding a G86 fic is so difficult D':
uhh, I'm assuming you're skylark93. xD And I'm glad you're enjoying this fanfic. Those two really are cute together and even with the angst, they somehow bring in the fluff.
DeleteTrue, finding G86 is hard. Though I haven't been looking lately. Glad I'm able to satisfy that craving somewhat. One of the reasons why I began to write Genesis was because I couldn't find any G86. OTL
Gah, it sent twice? Sorry ^^' my computer was buggy and it shut down, didn't think it sent twice ^^'
Deletelol it's cool. Totally understand.
