A/N: I don't really have any experience writing drabbles, I've just been having a lot of ideas lately, that might make good short stories. Anyways, there will certainly be more to come, but here is the first one, written with the prompt 'languages'. If you have any suggestions for future drabble topics, just put them in a review! ^_^
Read and enjoy! (also, review please, but whatever. =)
I really like it when you speak Italian, you know.
When you snap back to it, just for a second. You usually do it when you're mad, but sometimes, I think you do it just for fun. Like if you don't want me to know what you're saying. Because you know I'm not very good with other languages, and you know I never quite understood when Reborn tried to teach us all Italian. He said knowing it would be crucial to our future status in the mafia. Naturally, we all tried our hardest, but you were the only one who got it, but you knew it before. It all must've been very boring for you, actually.
One of the things you don't know is how sexy your voice is when you're speaking Italian. I swear, it gets even more alluring.
Haha, I suppose you'd think it was weird that I said you had an alluring voice, huh. But you do! Especially when you're speaking that language. It's just the way your tounge wraps around all the syllables and sounds we don't use in Japanese. It's like you're used to it.
Actually, I suppose you are used to it, since it was the first language you learned and all...
Anyways, it's irresistable, the way you talk. I'm not the only one who noticed either. I notice how Haru looks at you when you're speaking. It makes me really jealous, and I always hope you don't notice her, but I'm making my point. Everyone notices your voice when you speak Italian.
I think you should speak it more, and maybe you should be the one teaching us instead of Reborn. I'd probably follow a bit better. You basically only do it when you're really angry.
Another thing you don't know is that a couple of times, I remembered what you said, and I went home to look it up online. Like yesterday, when we had a big argument. I was in the hospital again, because one of my fights didn't go well. I had three broken ribs, and a really minor concussion. Everyone came to visit me, which was really nice. I wasn't suprised when you came in last, a couple of hours after everyone else. That's just how you are. What I didn't expect was how you reacted. You came right in and told me how stupid I was. How utterly, completely stupid I must be to allow the tenth to worry about me like that. Even Kyoko and the others were worried, you said.
It was weird. I'd seen you angry at me before, you were everyday. But this time, it was different. It seemed like I had...hurt you individually somehow. Just from your voice tone, and the way you avoided looking at me, I could tell.
Gokudera, you can call me an idiot all you want, but I can read you pretty well.
You were still yelling at me, and at this point, I'm not really sure what I did. I got hurt, and I got put in the hospital. It happens to one of us at least twice a month. I wasn't even close to the worst injury we've had this month either. That was Chrome, and I didn't see you freaking out at her.
So I did something that, looking back, was a bad thing to ask.
"Why do you care anyways, Gokudera?"
Then you looked up at me. The look on your face reminded me of a little kid, who just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It would've made me laugh, if I wasn't already so confused.
Naturally, your response to that question was in Italian.
"Sono venuto que perche ti voglio bene, idiota!"
I may not speak Italian, but I know the word Idiot was snuck in there. So I just looked up at you, as confused as I could possibly be. You of course, noticed that look and abruptly turned around to leave. I didn't even have a chance to apologize.
"Forse si capirto un giorno."
I went to the library in the base this morning, and went straight to one of the dictionaries on the language shelf. So I looked up what you said.
"I came here because I love you idiot."
"Maybe you'll figure that out someday."
Gokudera, I love you too. And next time I see you, I'll make sure to tell you that.
