The street was quiet for that filled with thriving businesses, which you could only guess was due to the gang members hanging around. To be honest you would be scared too, even petrified to the point you'd close down and run away, yet those feelings were locked down deep and the feelings of love towards one of the members replaced it. It was true, you had fallen head over heels for the active commander of Valhalla, Hanma Shuji. Thinking about him made your knees weak and your heart ache.

You skipped down the rest road towards the base of operations, the old arcade. You stepped carefully over the small rope before you pushed open the door entering the secret base like usual. The boys were like big puppy dogs, ones that look really rough on the outside but have big hearts on the inside. You gave them a small smile but most of the lackeys didn't notice you. They were either playing cards or too busy with something else, you got to the small stage area, Hanma sitting on the makeshift throne. It made your heart flutter and almost beat out of your chest as you watched him smile as he stood up to stand in front of you. He bent down, you wrapped your arms around his neck while his hands slid around just under your rib cage. Hanma pulled you up, to the point he was fully standing up and you were just dangling in mid air. Hanma gently placed you on the ground, your arms left his body before his left yours a moment later.

'Y/n.' He whispered,

Hanma sat down on his makeshift throne, he opened his arms for you in which you moved towards him. You sat across his lap, your legs stretched out across the seat as you snuggled into his body. He wrapped his arms around you which made your cheeks turn a shade of deep cherry red. You wondered as you sat in his lap if he even liked you or if he would do this to any other women that came his way. You got so side tracked in your thoughts you hadn't noticed the lackeys carrying in two middle aged boys who were obviously frightened for their life as they sat in front of Hanma.

'Found them!' Kazutora giggled,

You knew what was about to come, it made you feel uneasy to the point hanma had picked up on it. He gently brought his hand under your chin, staring at you with those golden orbs that eased upon your own.

'Focus on me, I'll cover your ears.' he whispered,

You just nodded, he covered your ears with both his hands, though the sound was still muffled you just continued to stare at his eyes before your eyes dropped down to his lips, noticing how kissable they were. You saw his grin, did he notice? He uncovered your ears and his hands snaked back to your waist.

'Y/n!' Kazutora whined like a child, 'You didn't even see the best part because you were eyeballing Hanma.'

You were confused. He knew you didn't particularly enjoy watching people get hurt unlike Hanma so why was he upset with you.

'What?' Hanma questioned,

You turned your head to see Kazutora grin at you, he knew about your crush, sitting there you realised what was about to happen.

'Hanma isn't it obvious? Y/n has a thing for you!' he laughed,

You stood up, all the lackeys were focused on the scene as hot tears began to form at the rim of your eyes making you vision slightly blurred. You knew what was coming next, Hanma saying he didn't like you and you couldn't have that. You jumped off the small stage walking towards Kazutora as the tears began to flood down your cheeks. You pulled your arm back before you slapped him with all your might seeing a red imprint of a hand begin to form before you sprinted out of the arcade.

You sprinted down the quiet streetway, hearing the arcade doors slam open. You knew you were too far away for them to catch up or know exactly which way you went or what direction you were heading too. You just ran to your small apartment knowing that none of the Valhalla members knew exactly where your house was. As you cried into your pillow you had a sudden thought about if you had stayed what would Hanma say, would he say he didn't feel the same or would he emit the same feelings you harboured for the boy that made your knees weak and your heart ache. Yet you could only wonder, you didn't want to ever show your face outside your apartment ever again.
