Author's note: A short little drabble everyone. This is on Yamamoto's POV. Wish everyone enjoys and maybe cry a little. College seemed less fearful than I thought, but all the talk about the grading system is making me hyperventilate and I really need a type writer to improve my fingers on.


Yamamoto Takeshi's PoV

In your eyes, I could see the pain you were going through. Always running on other people's pace, chasing, trying hard to run towards the person you love. Even though you could see she already loved someone else… You still chase her.

Why, Tsuna?

You've liked her since middle school. I know, I've always been watching. Your bright smiles were always directed her way and you would always try your best to catch her attention.

I've never seen anyone try as hard as you. It was like you were running while stumbling and you just won't stop. You keep chasing and tripping, always hurting yourself and crying when you think no one was watching…

I could see in the way you act, in your eyes, in the way your lips twitched in that funny way… that you were hurting inside. You were always carrying something heavy on your shoulders… Why do you insist on carrying the same heaviness in your heart?

How could you allow your heart to feel so heavy?

You are staring at her again, with those hopeful eyes. You allow yourself to look like an idiot just to pleaser her. And then when she'd smile or laugh your way, there's that relieved expression on your face. All that matters to you is that she smiles.

But even so…

Why? Why do you still cry?

She started going out with one of our classmates. An old childhood friend of hers.

"They look good together." You can't fool me. I can hear the sadness in your tone. But I can't say anything. Not when she smiles at you and you smile back in exasperation before turning to me and giving me a sad look.

You looked like you were about to cry.

"Life's just like that."

Do you believe that?

I can see that you believe it. You think you were unfortunate, that you had wrong timing or something and that maybe in this life, the universe just didn't want you to be together yet.

Have you ever thought maybe, that you two weren't just meant to be together?

Or do you just think that if you'd tried a little harder… or that if you were a little cooler, things would've worked out?

I wish you could see how great a person you are. Maybe if you did, you'd hurt a little less.

I can see it in your eyes you know, the sadness your heart and emotions brings you. You are always looking ahead, despite the fact that she clearly liked someone else, you still chase after her…

But then, who am I to scold you?

It would've been nice you know, if you looked behind once in a while…

Because if you did, you'd see me doing the exact same thing as you, Tsuna.
