Notes

My first post on tumblr! It's the drafted sequel to 'Bargain' for Giotto x Haru that I didn't like how it turned out. I know a few were curious and now I finally have a platform to post my incompleted or 'drafted/discarded' work! :) Hopefully I'll have time to post other incompleted work or any work that I have written, but didn't have any plans on actually posting on my blog.

As for my current WIP, I'm currently working on Ambigram!

March Special - Katekyo Hitman Reborn - D86

Summary: March special for DinoxHaru / D86

My lack of KHR knowledge might make some things untrue or some characters OOC!


I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn!


Please forgive any mistakes, both character-wise and grammatically-wise. I don't have time to re-read or edit things.



March Special

HappyFace1886



“C’mon, just one drink? I promise we’ll have a good time, Haru-chan!” Haru internally groaned at how persistent the guy was. She’d tried her best to be discreet and kind when she told him that she wasn’t interested and only saw him as a sempai from her college club activities, but he just wouldn’t take the hint! Failing on all that, she’d been as blunt as possible, but it’d only made him even more determined to get a date from her.

“S-Sempai, I told you, it’s Miura-san and I’m very flattered, but I’m sorry! I’m just not interested you in that way,” all propriety was lost after he’d followed her from campus all the way to the city! The fact that she was even tolerating this to this level was amazing enough. She squeaked when he grabbed her by the arm, pulling her back before she was able to enter the nearby café. Hahi! So close!

“Now how can you say that when you haven’t even given me a chance? Neh, Haru-chan?” the sempai gave her a cute little pout. She knew part of his persistence despite having been rejected was due to how popular he was. He wasn’t used to being rejected and even during the handful of times that he was, he was always able to charm the pants off the girl into giving him at least one chance. And honestly, Haru did like him (well, at least she did before until today)... but only as a sempai!

Haru twitched when he smiled at her, his light green eyes twinkling in an attractive manner that normally had the other ladies swooning. Maybe in the past she’d been swept away by his prince-charming good looks, but due to the odd variety of friends she had (most of them actually being rather exotically striking and handsome), Haru found that she was pretty immune to the now average looking appearances of her classmates.

...not that she was any better looking than them though.

“I said it’s Miura-san! Please! I don’t like you that way!” she said through gritted teeth, trying to convey her displeasure as much as possible with the scowl on her face. Unfortunately for her, it only looked more endearing in the sempai’s eyes, who smiled cheekily at her.

“But that’s not a good enough answer when you haven’t even given me a chance,” he ignored her outraged sputter and gave her a one-shoulder shrug. “Just one reason. Give me one good reason why I should give up on you. Aren’t you being the one extra cruel to me? I only suggested going out on one date with me.”

The fact that he was trying to shift the blame on her made Haru want to kick him in the shin. How dare he try to make her the bad one in all this! “B-B-Because I already have a boyfriend!”

There was a pause, her sempai’s eyes widening in disbelief while Haru was internally berating herself for saying such an outrageous lie. Okay, so, yes, she didn’t have a boyfriend. It just came out instinctively because of how many times she’d spouted out such a similar thing during her middle school years. Granted, it was more along the lines of a ‘future boyfriend/husband’ due to her hardcore crush with a certain mafia heir, but (oh god!), did such passé habits have to appear at the worst time available?!

“B-B-Boyfriend?” the sempai was the one sputtering instead. “Since when do you have a boyfriend?”

“S-Since college!” she sputtered back. “W-We started going out after I graduated high-school!”

It was a lie. A complete lie! But one that accidentally came out since the reason why she was heading to the café in the first place was to meet up with Tsuna-san who’d arrived from Italy a few days ago! Not to mention, it was after high school when she was finally able to let go of her feeling towards him. It had been the start of a new chapter of her life and combined with the fact that she was meeting him again was why she’d accidentally blurted out that time period for her current imaginary, non-existent boyfriend.

“I-I don’t get to see him a lot since he’s not really from this country.”

Another lie! A bad lie! But, again, one that accidentally came out since if you technically counted Tsuna-san’s heritage, it would go all the way back to Italy... Oh god, why was she even thinking about Tsuna-san? How could she impose upon him of something as ridiculous as this? Why couldn’t she just shut up already?

“S-So I mostly talk to him by phone or letters!”

...not exactly a lie this time, because she did message Tsuna-san and the others by phone and letters. It wasn’t as frequently as she’d like it, but it wasn’t a lie that she didt talk to them... but still technically a lie since she didn’t have a boyfriend!

Her sempai then narrowed his eyes, taking in her flustered appearance. “...I think you’re lying.”

Haru almost whipped her head up at him in shock, but managed to refrain herself from doing so. Behaving like that it would just make it even more obvious that she wasn’t telling the truth! “I-I’m telling the truth. I-In fact, I’m here to see him right now!”

She began to mentally rain a thousand apologies to Tsuna-san’s way right now. Hahi! They hadn’t seen each other for so long and she was already doing something ridiculous to him! Tsuna-san was kind and considerate, so there was no way he wouldn’t help her out, but this might get in the way of his chances with Kyoko-chan!

Hahi! Could she do nothing right?

“Oh really? Why don’t we go inside and take a look at this boyfriend of yours?”

Haru felt her temper flaring at the sempai’s audacity to interrogate her when he was the one harassing her. Before she could snappily say something she’d regret later, the door to the café opened, a small jingle from the bell on top turning both her and the sempai’s attention to the entrance. Haru’s eyes widened when she saw who it was.

Golden blonde hair, styled in a wild yet bedazzling manner, glowed under the light of the dimming sun. Light brown eyes were narrowed disapprovingly, staring almost in an intimidating manner at the hand that was tightly clutching onto Haru’s arm. For once, instead of dressed in his usual casual manner with a dark green parka, he wore a clean cut black suit that only seemed to enhance the regal air that surrounded him.

“D-Dino-nii,” Haru breathed out, stunned by his current sharp appearance as she was too accustomed to seeing him so happy and carefree. Like a big brother always watching over the little ones. W-What was he doing here anyways? She was supposed to be meeting Tsuna-san today!

“Y-You know this guy, Haru-chan?” her sempai squawked at her. Sweet little Miura Haru with this intimidating, tall foreigner?

“I said its Miura-san to you!” Haru instinctively snapped and pulled at the arm still captive under her sempai’s tight grip. She really was at her breaking point, her foot itching to kick him on the shin right about now. “Let go of me!”

“I think you should listen to Haru-chan and let her go,” Dino spoke mildly, almost in an unassuming manner. He hadn’t moved an inch from the door since he’d made his appearance, but the sempai instinctively took a step back. There was something weird about this gaijin, something that made the hair in the back of his neck to stand.

“W-Why? Are you the big, scary boyfriend she was talking about?” the sempai cockily tried to retort.

Haru’s face turned a shade of flaming red. She’d just about had it with this guy! Screw manners! Her leg pulled back and took aim for the sempai’s vulnerable shin when a hand gently grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled back. Off balance due to being on one leg, she willingly stumbled backwards and found herself pressed against a warm solid chest with an arm wrapped protectively around her. She felt the rumble of his voice against her back as Dino-nii spoke carefully from behind her.

“Yes, in fact, I am her big, scary boyfriend.” Dino said with a razor sharp smile, leaning forward slightly so that the sempai could have a better look at the growing displeasure in his brown eyes. “So if you would please let go of her arm.”

Pride prevented the sempai from immediately letting go of Haru’s arm, but instinct and self-preservation won in the end. The sempai internally shuddered, cold sweat trailing down the back of his neck as the brown eyes of the gaijin seemed to trail after him carefully. It was the look of a man who’d set his sights on his target. Not even a potential rival, but weak, meaningless prey that’d simply had the misfortunate of falling under the line of vision of a hunter. He gave the blonde haired man one final scowl before stalking away.

Haru’s heart thundered in her chest as she watched the sempai walking away. It wasn’t until he was well out of her sights when she realized she was still being held within Dino-nii’s arm. The blush on her face deepened and she lacked the courage to look up at him.

How mortifying to be rescued from something like this...

“Are you okay, Haru-chan?” his voice sounded so warm and reassuring.

She didn’t trust herself to speak and gave him a muted nod instead.

“Is that guy someone you know? Is he frequently bothering you like this?” Dino continued carefully, not wanting to scare or embarrass her any further than she was already.

“N-No, he’s just a harmless sempai from school...” Haru murmured bashfully, her eyes glued to the floor. She should... She should tell him that it was okay to let go of her now, but the words were trapped in her throat. The quickness of breath, the inability to think coherently... the symptoms were something all too familiar to her, but this couldn’t be right! This was Dino-nii she was thinking about! “H-He was just a little more persistent today.”

“I see,” as her eyes were still turned away from him, Haru missed the darkening of his usual gentle eyes. She did, however, notice how Dino’s hold around her seemed to tighten around her briefly, inundating her even more with the heady masculine scent of his cologne and something that could only be described as Dino-nii’s scent.

“Um... excuse me...” there was a polite, muffled murmur from behind. The two glanced behind them to see patrons of the café looking puzzled at how the two were standing in front of the door, blocking it from those who wanted to leave.

Haru’s mortification tripled at how she was not only inconveniencing Dino-nii with the stupid situation with her sempai, but complete, random strangers. She quickly turned around and pressed her hands against Dino-nii’s chest, pushing him gently back until he was leaning against the wall so that there was enough space for the other customers to leave. Once they were gone, she sighed in relief and looked up, the redness of her cheeks returning with a vengeance when she saw Dino-nii looking down at her with such sweet, gentle eyes glowing with affectionate amusement. She had basically pinned him against the wall, her body plastered intimately against him. “H-Hahi!”

He chuckled and placed a hand on her head. “Let’s go inside, shall we?”

“O-Okay,” Haru quickly moved away to provide some space between them. T-This was definitely not good for her heart. No, it was not. “I-I’m happy to see you, b-but I thought I was going to see Tsuna-san today?”

“Tsuna got a call for a last minute meeting, so he was hoping he could reschedule with you.” He explained, opening the door to the café for her.

“E-Eh? B-But why didn’t he call or text me instead? D-Dino-nii must be busy as well!” it was hard for her to not stammer, especially when she could feel the warmth of his hand on her lower back.

His light chuckle made her look up at him and the pounding of her heart grew at the sight. This feeling... she hadn’t felt it since all those years ago when a silly boy with crazed eyes had jumped into the river after her, pulling her out from the heavy armor that was dragging her down to the depths of the water.

Dino smiled warmly at her. “I wanted to see you, Haru-chan.”

Words left her as the truth hammered down at her from above.


Oh god, she’d fallen in love with Dino-nii....

AU: 
Whew! Made it just in time. I'm slowly trying to pull myself free from my stupid writer's block/head cold. Sorry for this sounds awkward. I'm finally free of my cold at least! Unfortunately, my work is picking up and I might be busy for a bulk of April. I'm still hoping I can squeeze in another thing before this month ends. Fingers crossed! ...especially since I only have 2 days until this month ends, haha.


For once, it's Haru who falls in love first and not the other way around! xD

  1. Ah, the 'pretend!boyfriend to the rescue' trope! It's one of my favorites to read, and your update really brightened up my day!!

    I did feel a bit sorry for poor Haru though, having to put up with such an annoyingly persistent suitor. She was quite patient with him too, all considering! If it was me, I would have already started whacking him with my purse not even five minutes in, lol. It was really well-deserved karmic luck for the sempai that they ran into Dino and he got put in his place for being so arrogant and presumptuous!

    I thoroughly enjoyed your description of Dino to the rescue also! It was very easy to visualize Dino reacting exactly as he did, with that calm intensity that is very characteristic of him when he's getting serious and protective. No wonder Haru fell for him right away (lol), though it seems to me that our male protagonist was also at least a bit fond of her already! Just imagining them bantering about who fell for the other first (after they got together) amuses me lots.

    Thanks for posting this! It was a great read!

    1. LOL yes, it's also one of my favorites to read as well! <3 I'm glad you liked this little drabble.

      xD our Haru-chan was always the patient type! Though I think she got the better end of the deal in the end because of Dino having come to her rescue! Her heart went aflutter and alas, the coming of a new love! Muhahaha!

      Yes, Dino is definitely fond of her already. I can't imagine, even in the canon universe, him not being fond of her. I will forever bring up Haru recognizing Dino's men during the Rainbow arc, because there is NO WAY the two did not interact off screen. It's also why Dino was in such a bad mood when he saw the sempai harassing Haru! No one is allowed to harass Haru, especially not under his watchful gaze! :<

      Haha, thanks for the review~! It was a treat to read, as always!

  2. I always find easy-going guys like Dino and Takeshi hot when they become possessive hihihi AND IT DOESNT HELP THAT DINO IS SO CHARMING HERE OMYGHAD!! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE HIM HOTTER??? HAHAHAHA Their pair is one of my favorites now, thanks to you hahaha

    Haru-chan is so cute being respectful to her senpai even though she wants to kick him right there and then hahaha i actually wanted Dino to do something terrifying to the guy but his [dino] mere presence is enough to traumatize the guy soooo it's okay AND it's sweet that he voluntary went there to inform haru-chan - that Tsuna can't come - instead of letting his servants to do it! DINO IS THE PERFECT MAN <3

    "I wanted to see you, Haru-chan."

    1. Daww, thank you for this review. Sorry it took so long to post. @__@ I haven't really been able to turn on my laptop for a while.

      Haha, reading your review perked me up! xD Ooh? So you like Yamamoto? Maybe I'll try writing one for him as well. I've been wanting to write a good one for him since the other ones I had written several years ago felt... uh... they didn't feel like the greatest thing I could have produced.

      xD Thank you very much for this review! I'll do my best to post another thing this month~~

      Let's just leave it that I find every HaruxOthers amazing if done right but my main OTP's are really HibarixHaru and TsunaxHaru that's probably why you can see me around their fics more hahaha I'm also fond of Takeshi because he's nice and he's the guardian of RAIN and he's into sports (which I suck at), Dino x Haru, Giotto x Haru and Alaude x Haru are my guilty pleasure hahahha

      Oh, and please do! But don't push yourself! Health comes first!
