Learning the FundamentalsSummary: On second thought, he reconsiders.
-
That stupid Doctor! Suddenly barging me with questions! What the fuck is with him? Is he crazy or what?!
Usually, Gokudera would gladly run to the school gate where everyone is waiting with a tint of excitement on his face (well, of course he does, since the Tenth is there), but after getting flooded and challenged by the skirt-chaser, Dr. Shamal, the expression on his face was stained with some sort of irritation.
”Are you gay or what?”
What the fuck! Of course I'm not! Pitying me just because I'm not dating anyone?! Kh, as if that's as important as serving Tenth! A-and, what now if everyone gets a pair? What's important is the Family! The family, it is!
“Ah, Gokudera-kun!”
“J-Juudaime!” Gokudera called back as he ran faster towards the group. As soon as he arrived in front of Tsuna, he dropped his bag just a few inches beside his foot, knelt down and began banging his head on the concrete. “I'm sorry, Tenth! Some intrusion happened while I'm on my way, and I had to fix the mess before I left! I'm really sorry, Tenth! I'm deeply sorry! I'm deeply sorry!”
Tsuna frantically waved his hands in front of Gokudera, getting startled from the Storm Guardian's sudden action. “N-No, it's fine, really!” He quickly assured him.
Gokudera, then, stood up and picked up his bag. “I'm really sorry, Tenth!”
“Haah,” Tsuna had his hands on his sides, thinking that Gokudera's apologizing too much when they've only waited for only about 10 minutes. “A-anyway, what do you mean by 'some intrusion'?”
Just recalling whatever happened a while ago was enough to make Gokudera's blood boil mad, but since he's with Tenth and everyone, he knew he needed to contain his anger. He restrained himself from gritting his teeth and balling his fists, just as much as he wanted to punch the doctor at his face.
But Tenth asked, and he didn't know how to answer him. It's about his gender issue , where he believed that he's really a straight man.
Man, how is he going to tell it to him.
“A-ah,” he cleared his throat, rethinking and rephrasing each line in his head. “That stupid and bastard doctor asked a lot of idiotic questions, but.... IT'S NOTHING IMPORTANT, REALLY!” and he ended his line with a triumphant grin, wishing that he made a good aversion from the topic.
“I-is that so?” he asked while scratching his head. Well, if it's about Doctor Shamal then maybe it's just a something between the two of them, he thought.
“Hai, Juudaime! There's nothing to worry about!” he flashed an 'assuring' grin at him with a thumbs-up.
“Eek!” Haru butted into the conversation with a huge grin. “Tsuna-san, don't you think there's something weird with Gokudera-kun?” She asked while scrutinizing Gokudera from head to toe.
“Eh? What do you mean, Haru?”
Gokudera glared at her. “Oi, you bitch, what are you up to?”
“M-Maybe Gokudera-san was late because she had to go and pass by her girlfriend?” Haru said with an incredulous look on her face. “B-but--” she covered her mouth with a hand, restraining the set of laughter that is about to unleash. “T-that's impossible! Impossible desu!”
“Stupid woman! When did the crazy doctor become a woman, ha?!” Gokudera barked at her with his fists balled. “You crazy bitch! Shut up!”
“Hahi!” Haru's forehead creased after hearing the bomber's foul words. “That's why Gokudera-san still doesn't have a girlfriend! It's because of his foul mouth! His foul mouth, that is!”
“That's none of your business, you nosy woman! The reason why no guy dares to hang out with you is because you're crazy and stupid like that!” He crossed his arms against his chest and turned his back to her with a very proud grin and an eyebrow raised. “Even if you're the only woman left in this world, I'll never even hang out with you! Kh! I'd better stay as a bachelor than to have you in my future house, baka onna!”
“Aaaah!” Haru whined at him. “As if I'll hang out with a foul-mouthed violent outlaw who doesn't know anything else than smoke cancer sticks like you, Bakadera!” she shouted out, and also crossed her arms against her chest. “Y-you meanie! Tsuna-san is even faaaaaaaar waaaaaaay betteeeer than you! You're no match for him! Haru will never fall for you, bakadera!”
Everyone watched the two of them with such amused expressions, just like they always did. The crowd seemed to be a lot more livelier, except for Tsuna who almost felt his soul drift away from his body from the shouting exchange, especially when Haru already included his name in the no-one-will-fall argument. “G-Gokudera-kun, Haru, stop that...”
“Maa, maa,” Yamamoto butted in the conversation with his ever triumphant grin. “Let's get going now?”
“YEEEAH! LET'S WALK OUR WAY HOME TO THE EXTREEEEEEEEEEME!”
“A-Ah, onii-san, don't push yourself too much.”
And they started walking home.
Everyone had their own conversations-well, of course, Ryohei started bragging about what he did in the boxing club, with Yamamoto nodding his head while telling him what happened in the baseball club. Tsuna and Gokudera walked beside them, wondering on how the sports maniacs were able to talk like they're playing the same sport at all. On the other hand, Haru went over Kyoko, whining and moaning about the recent 'conversation' she had with Gokudera, complaining on how rude and mean he is to women and saying that he'll never get a woman for all of his life. Kyoko listened to her protest while saying that maybe Gokudera said that because he was just in a bad mood.
Gokudera's mind was suddenly filled with whatever Shamal told him just a while ago after his argument with the stupid woman.
“It's because you, Gokudera Hayato, doesn't know the fundamentals of love. Go find a woman to teach you, you outlaw. Experience it yourself! Experience is the best teacher! Learn the fundamentals, Hayato! At least learn!”
He gritted his teeth. Khh, that bastard! Telling me what to do! What the hell is with those fundamentals anyway?! Like it'll help me! It will just be a bother! A complete bother, it is! He thought, then looked ahead of him. There, he saw the stupid woman with the turf-top's sister.
“As if I'll hang out with a foul-mouthed violent outlaw who doesn't know anything else than smoke cancer sticks like you, Bakadera! Haru will never fall for you!”
“Hn,” he smirked with his forehead creased as the new train of thought entered his mind. As if I'll fall for a crazy, annoying, noisy woman like you. Even if I try to search those stupid fundamentals by having you to teach me, I'll never ever fall for you! Kh, as if that will happen. The world will crumble first before I do-
He suddenly stopped from his tracks when a new idea came to his mind, having himself left by the chitty-chatty group.
“Then get a woman to teach you, you outlaw.”
W-wait. He stared at her while gripping the strap of his bag tighter. Since I'm sure-No, absolutely sure that I'll never fall for that stupid woman, maybe I can learn even the tiniest bit from her and show that stupid doctor that I can learn those stupid fundamentals without even getting troubled too much and without, of course, falling from her.
“A-re? Gokudera-kun?” Tsuna called him after noticing that Gokudera was left behind.
He slapped his forehead in attempt to shake off the newest idea. W-what the hell! What am I thinking, anyway! There's no need for that! Why should I even bother?! Lost in his own ideas, his eyebrows almost met. But it won't matter as long as I know my 'real' purpose, right?
“G-Gokudera-kun?” With that, Yamamoto and the others stopped on their own tracks, too, and looked at the stationary white-head.
“Oi, oi, is he trying to apologize for before?” Ryohei suddenly told the group, which made Haru jump a little.
Hearing this made Gokudera's ears twitch. Heck, he wasn't even thinking of apologizing! “B-baka! That's not it--”
“Hahi?” She, then, looked at Gokudera with her head tilted. An impish grin stretched her lips as she walked towards Gokudera. “Heeeh, Bakadera's going to apologize?”
“Stupid woman! As if I'm going to do that!” He barked at her once more. “And stop grinning like that! You sound like that stupid and annoying cow!”
“Hahi?! You meanie! Calling Lambo-chan like that!”
“Haah,” Tsuna sighed. “They're on it again.”
“Shut up!” Gokudera snapped at her while walking ahead. “You're so annoying!”
“You're also annoying! Aaagh! You're so mean to Haru and Lambo-chan! You violent outlaw!”
Yeah. I'll never like this kind of woman. He thought, then took a glance at her again. She was saying something at the moment, but he just didn't want to hear her irritating voice. Instead, he scrutinized her from head to toe, thinking of something really relevant to him.
“H-hahi?! W-what are you looking at?!”
He smirked. I'll never fall for a woman this flat-chested and immature and irritating like this, anyway. So I think leeching a few information from her won't be that bad. Then he nodded his head several times as if he was able to verify something.
“B-Bakadera! T-that's scary! S-Stop doing that to Haru!” Haru yelled at him after realizing the weight of Gokudera's stare on her. “P-perveeeert!” Then she turned her back to him with her fists balled.
“A-AAACK! STUPID WOMAN!” he immediately reacted after hearing the word 'pervert'. “WHO ELSE IN THEIR RIGHT STATE OF MIND WOULD EVEN DARE TO STARE AT THAT FLAT CHEST, HUH--”
And he got silenced by a not-so-hard punch on his face.
But he was taken off guard, so it hurt him anyway.
“W-what the hell was that for?!”
“Bakadera is a pervert!”
“I'm not, you idiot woman! Baka onna!” he even emphasized it more.
I knew it! She doesn't even qualify being a cool mafioso's wife! I'll never fall for this woman, never!
On second thought, he still reconsidered.
Well, for the 'studying' part, he meant.

Primo: First
Persuadere: Persuasion
Presunzione: Presumption
Relation of Prompt to the story: This might be random but when I knew that it also means “After me, the deluge”, I thought of either Haru or Gokudera's consideration as the deluge for Gokudera. So, yeah. XD
