Ryohei Sasagawa - Tough Love

Summary: After blowing up at him, she thought she could never face him, but fate is a twisted, strange thing that seemed to entwine her to him.  She could deny everything but in the end that was all it was, simple, sweet denial. After all whoever said love wasn't tough?

"That was SO EXTREME!"
... 

"I'm gonna do that to the EXTREME!"
...

"If it isn't extreme let's make it EXTREEMMEEE!" 

Every time she heard his voice her eye twitched in annoyance at the loud mouthed boxer, her patience was wearing dangerously thin. 

"Do you feel EXTRE.."

"OH MY FUCKING KAMI CAN YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY SASAGAWA!" She yelled making most of her friends jump with fright and shock at her sudden out burst. 

She had rudely cut the boxer off, as he simply stood staring at her, his mouth gaping in shock. Slowly she stood up and decided it best if she left the gym. Been a young woman, born into a rather well known family and blowing up at him the way she did wasn't exactly the most appropriate thing she could have done, specially when every single person knew exactly who she was. 

Once home she locked herself in her home and sighed in relief. She felt slightly embarrassed for what had happened, she didn't know how she would ever be able to go to the gym again without feeling like a complete and utter boob. Mentally she sat cursing the snowy haired boxer at how he made her snap, when most men who actually made an effort to try never succeeded. Yet there he was. Yelling loudly as usual and she just lost it. Nobody ever got under her skin, no one ever made her angry or embarrassed. 

"Damn it..." She muttered to herself. 

She was the "aloof" girl who couldn't care less if the world came to an end, the rich, quiet, girl that was referred to as the ice queen. Over all those years she hadn't changed one single bit.

She sighed, biting her lip as she looked around her home trying to decide what she wanted to do. Yet she was still cursing Ryohei and it was starting to irritate her. 

"Just freaking great, now your stuck in my head you stupid boxer." She grumbled as she slunk towards her lounge. 

She lazily pulled out her phone, looking through all the messages she had received and groaned when she saw one specific number show up: Sasagawa...

' Hey uh, what was that about back at the gym are you okay?' She frowned. 

"Why would he want to know if I'm okay?" She mumbled to herself placing her phone down on her glass table and resting on her leather sofa.

"I'm just freaking perfect." She growled to herself.

She rolled over and decided to go out, hoping that a few drinks would maybe clear her mind. Slipping into a white dress and red high heels she pulled on her short leather jacket flicking out her hair and drove to the nearest bar she could find.

Arriving, she parked and left her jacket in the car, checking her make up one last time she made her way inside. She walked and sat in the farthest corner she could find, that was secluded and instantly buried herself in a glass of vodka on the rocks. 

Only when she felt relaxed did she allow her eyes to wonder for someone to maybe converse with. She scanned the crowd until she spotted a man who stood out... A lot... He was tall, well built and his suit seemed to fit him perfectly. His hair was spiked up and complimented his tanned skin well. She smirked, standing and walking closer to her target, noticing all the eyes that were on him, when she seated herself quietly beside him.

Feeling a presence at his side Ryohei stopped chatting and turned to find a pretty female in a white dress beside him. Something about her seemed rather familiar...

He continued eyeing her until honey eyes met his and grew in shock. "Yuki?" He questioned in slight disbelief...

"Oh Kami and to think I was actually going to hit on you." She blurted out, cupping her mouth as soon as the words spilt from her lips. 

Ryohei watched her, stunned by her words, watching as a deep blush crept into her usually fair cheeks. 

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" She muttered turning away from him and nervously looking around the room at any person or any item, as long as it wasn't him. She was beyond mortified by the situation and her state of soberness wasn't helping her much either as she quickly ordered another drink and downed it under the watchful gaze of the boxer beside her.

She couldn't help but freeze when she felt warm breath on the back of her neck. 

"You know you're quite the extreme drinker, but alcohol will affect you quicker than a man, so you should slow down or you not going to be able to drive home." His lips brushed against her ear causing her to shudder as she simply forced a staggered nod at his words. 

"So tell me are you here with anyone Yuki?" He asked her in a voice she wasn't used to hearing. 

It was husky and deep, something she found she enjoyed much more than his usual loud voice.

"N-no, I'm a-alone." 'What the hell! Why am I stuttering!' She mentally yelled at herself looking up at the man with wide eyes.

He chuckled. "Well then that's extreme, come drink with us, no ones seen you since high school, I'm sure they'd all like to see you again." 

He smiled taking her hand and dragging her to where Tsuna, Hibari, Gokudera and Takeshi sat chatting and drinking. She watched as all eyes landed on her and the boxer, she cursed herself knowing how they must have looked, with her looking all flustered and coy behind his slim, chiseled form. She shook her head feeling her cheeks heat up more at the mere thought.

"So whose the pretty lady?" Takeshi teased, chuckling as he noticed her face flush more. 'Curse you, you baseball nut.' She mentally growled as Ryohei stood grinning, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand.

"Well guys I'm shocked you don't actually recognise her, its Yuki, she was in all our classes with us at Nanimori once upon a time." Shocked gazes met hers as she was soon pulled into bear hugs.

"I-its really good to see all of you are doing very well." She said quietly keeping the topic of conversation off of her as best as she could.

"Your looking really good Yuki, did you come here with someone?" Tsuna asked casually.

'Damn you Sagawa. How could you ask me that!' "Well no, I didn't. I just needed to get out for a bit, its been a long last few days." She sighed.

"You? Coming here alone? That's hard to believe, looked to us like you were waiting for Ryohei." Hibari pointed out blankly as he took a sip of his drink.

'Oh Kami WHY ME!?' Think, think, THINK dammit! I can't get out of this one!' Her mind was running insane as Ryohei cleared his throat beside her dragging her back to the present situation. Her eyes widened when she noticed she'd comfortably placed herself on his lap at the table and pretty much answered Hibari's question for him. Going blood red she staggered up from his lap and walked as quickly as she could into the parking lot.

"Hey! Yuki wait up! Are you okay?" She stopped dead in her tracks when his voice wrapped around her, she slowly turned to face the boxer, irritated with herself for denying what was bugging her deep inside. 

That small voice she forced herself to ignore and the very reason he had managed to get under her skin. When she looked up Ryohei was staring down at her, concern etched into his features. Even after all the tough years that passed he still adored her fiercly.

Unable to control her emotions any longer she punched him in the arm as hard as she could. He tilted his head to the side eyeing her curiously until she grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him down to her level crashing her lips to his.

Who ever said love wasn't tough in its own way
