#Don't mess with Gokudera

[fuk0]

5927. call me. ;)

—Hey, what's your problem? All questions to Tenth are solved by me.

—Ngh... Gokudera-kun, be more polite....

[rayshippouuchiha]

For the tasea AU

There was this one fic I was reading where Lan xichen realizes no, Wei wuxian wasn't stringing his brother along. He doesn't know how lan wangji feels because his brother really never used his words.

Then I thought of Reborn and Hibari who *also* don't use their words. And wondered "who will bell *this* cat?" 😂

Who's going to be the one to point out to Reborn and Hibari that Skull and Tsuna don't know they care about them. Because that requires actual words. Especially when their actions don't speak for them in Civilian TM terms.

Gokudera verbally praises Tsuna daily, Takeshi shows it through his actions and words too, Chrome has plenty of loyalty and even Mukuro has an agreed upon contract with Tsuna that Tsuna can use as a basis of trust in their relationship. Heck, even Xanxus has shown through words and actions that he likes Tsuna (as family, not just the capital Family) and accepts him.

All Tsuna knows is.... that Hibari barely tolerates being around him. As for a rational reason (like Mukuro), Hibari gets to fight strong opponents as long as he's following Tsuna. There's really no grounds for trust or an emotional connection here. It's a wonder they even got flame bonded.

The less said about Skull and Reborn, the better. That's smh even worse than the mess between Tsuna and Hibari.

They really need someone to 'enlighten' them. And enroll them in communication classes.

Honestly a very large part of me wants it to be Verde who finally hits both of them with the clue-by-four.

He's widely considered the most emotionally inept of both groups combined so the idea of him being the one to casually turn to Reborn and Hibari during one of the now mandatory meetings to trade information on Skull and Tsuna's movements all "well it's not as if either of them are aware of your ,,, affections. You cannot expect them to complete the equation to your satisfactions without all of the variables. Also you're both assholes." and then just wander off all 'mic drop' is so fucking hilarious to me.

But I could also see it being one of the kids

[rooigseix]

Think about it there is more:

The Arcobaleno is still in baby form, which means there will be a Battle of Representatives to choose the next pacifier owner.

And there is no way the battle will happen the same as the canon manga because technically 2 Representatives are off the picture and Vongola can't afford for another team-split war between its people at this time.

So the highest possibility is the Arcobaleno fight themselves and well, either Tsuna comes up with the canon solution or at least one will die. That's the story.

Aside from that, I wonder whether the relationship between Tsuna and his guardians has any change because if it were me I definitely can't act like before with someone who trick me that he died while putting a lot of teenagers and childs in battle which basically is another type of suicide like that.

Thinking about how I’ve been calling it the future that never happened but it did. It did happen and it won’t disappear just because the main timeline managed to avoid it. For the ones who lived in that future, it will still continue when their past selves are no longer there.

Uni and Gamma are still dead.

Tsuyoshi is still dead.

Irie is left to pick up the pieces of a relationship that made him the happiest in the world but almost destroyed it. He’s left to grapple with the only reason this crazy, insane, ridiculous plan even worked is because he loves Byakuran enough to kill him and Byakuran loved him too much to hurt him.

Mammon returns to the Varia, not expecting anything. Not really. He was weak and he died.

They make him their new accountant and tell him that as soon as Fran kicks the bucket the position is his again.

Belphegor in particular is insufferable about invading his space and worst of all? Mammon lets him

“So is there an afterlife? You went to hell right”

“You think I remember. Lay off”

Tsuna gives Reborn his hat back.

None of them want to think what it means that Uni is dead and the Sky pacifier left without an owner

[ner0w0w0]

A fic idea, or smt like that.

Hibari can see ghosts, Fon probably can see them as well but he refuses to tell anyone, even the Arcobaleno just to mess with them.

The thing is, Hibari can see ghost and sometimes he can't tell the difference between living people and dead people so he'd stay silent most of the time and wait until others start to interact with them to make sure they're alive.

Long story short, when he first meets the first generation, he has no idea that they're spirits. The others are talking with them! G can even pretend to be Gokudera for a whole day and no one can tell! So when they just... fade away, he doesn't give it a second thought. Illusionists exist and they're all dramatic. This trick isn't that new.

Fast forward to 10 years later, Hibari can still see ghosts lingering around the corner of the streets, under the bridge,... He doesn't acknowledge them, and they don't know that he can see them, which suits him just fine. Until one day, when he's due to meet Tsuna in his office to turn in his report of the recent mission.

"Ah Daemon, is this... Elena?" the Sky's voice comes from behind the door.

"Yes, yes she is." Daemon replies as he opens the door and takes in the occupants in the office. There is a beautiful lady sitting next to Daemon on the sofa, gently leaning on the nobleman's shoulder.

"Ah, Kyouya! I assume you're here to turn in the report?" He wordlessly gives the Vongola's boss his file before turns back to greet Daemon and his lady. Tsuna always yaps about politeness and hospitality so much that he'd just do it so the Sky will stop.

"Good morning" he greets monotonously as he shakes Daemon's hand.

"And you as well" as he bows lightly to kiss Elena's hand.

But when he rises back up, everyone seems shaken up at his action.

Hmm? Are you not allowed to kiss a woman's hand in greetings? Reborn has told him it's the way of things.

"Wha- Who are you talking to, Kyouya?" Tsuna seems particularly scared.

"Hmm? To Elena?" He questions back, clearly not seeing the problem.

"The-there is no one there, Kyouya! What are talking about?" The Vongola boss sounds near hysterical now and even Daemon seems clearly dumbfounded, and... hopeful?

Ah. So Elena is a ghost. Interesting.

But troublesome, because both Daemon and Elena look like they're about to use him as their telephone.

What did Fon say about what to do in this situation anyway?

'If you ever get caught seeing ghosts Kyouya' Hibari's inner Fon's voice rings out 'just run'

Excellent advice.

The Vongola can't find their Cloud Guardian for the next 3 months, not until they contacts Fon, only to find that the skylark has been taking 'spiritual enhancing class' (learning how to beat up ghosts, exorcist way) with the martial artist.

When he comes back and learns that Daemon, as well as other Vongola First Generation they have met is trapped inside of the Vongola rings, their plane of existence is different to normal spirits. That's why Daemon can't see Elena and the illusionist is on his knees begging Hibari to help him speak to his past lover.

To which Hibari only says.

"Skill issue"

And disappears for the next 3 months, this time to exercise his skill in exorcism. (He, inevitably, fails, so he goes back to the business of making people becoming spirits, hitman style)

[khreborns]

A little late since his Birthday already passed—but any relationship headcanons for Tsuna? Maybe some bonus birthday ones? 🧡

╰┈➤Apologies for the lateness. Thank you for sending this in! Happy belated birthday to the wonderful Neo-Vongola primo!!

𖥔 ˖ PAIRING  : y/n x Tsuna 𖥔 ˖ WARNING  : pre-established relationship. Gender-neutral y/n. Hopelessly Tsuna.

.𖥔 ˖  TSUNA . .ᐟ.ᐟ

Hopelessly in love ━━━ Tsuna has been in love with you long before you two even got together. He dreamt of you often, both at night and throughout the day. He'd often get scolded or smacked over the head by Reborn depending on when this happened*. Even after Tsuna and you got together, he was still so hopelessly in love. If anything it got worse...it isn't surprising to see him look as though he were floating while having the goofiest expression on his face, just because he was thinking of you, which was most times.

Hopeless with proposal━━━ it took a long time for Tsuna to get the courage to propose to you. He was so afraid that this would be the moment his amazing relationship with you would shatter. There was no way he could be happy for so long, right? When you accepted his proposal, in spite of the fact it was utterly ruined (Tsuna's entire plan got messed up, his suit was covered in mud and he had LOST the engagement ring and thus improvised using his own sky ring as a place holder for this moment. ) You felt this was the perfect proposal, it captured your beloved so perfectly and so you two shared a tearful kiss under the moonlight.

Hopeless with "family" ━━━ surprisingly the wedding planning was more difficult than expected. Tsuna was more than willing to allow you to choose whatever you liked! The venue, the flowers, the decorations...all of this you had full discretion over. He just wanted to be by your side as you picked and planned the wedding. At one point you had to talk to him about having more input, it was sweet seeing how happy he was just to be with you but wedding planning was stressful. He straightened up as soon as you brought that up. The most difficult hurdle, however, was invitations. Tsuna wanted his mom there but not his father. He was adamant that Iemitsu shouldn't be there. Of course, Reborn wasn't going to allow that: "think of how that'd look, Tsuna. You can't not have your father there. This is a crucial time for Neo Vongola's growth, we don't need the other families looking down on us further." And so Tsuna became adamant that "if he must be there, then he has to sit in the back next to the toilet!" He also wanted Reborn to be seated where the father of the groom ought to be. This once again caused another clash between the two. "You can't do that either, dame-Tsuna..." Reborn said through pursed lips. "You know how bad that'd look, right?" Still he didn't want to budge. Reborn only managed to get part of his way due to you having to step in. Why did you? Because you knew how much it hurt Tsuna but you also didn't want the increase hardship of more families judging the Neo Vongola. You reminded him, "Tsu-kun, this is only for appearance sake. We both know who your real father is." Tsuna eventually relented in allowing Iemitsu that seat but Reborn was at the same table with Reborn's place card stated: "Reborn, father figure."*

Hopeless with chores ━━━ it was a big adjustment when you two finally moved in together. Tsuna was incredibly happy, of course, and scrambled to not be a "complete loser" in front of you. He was torn between walking on cloud nine just being able to see you every day versus not wanting to look bad in your eyes. Imagine his utter shock when he managed to do that without thinking. Tsuna can be rather thoughtless and he never had to clean up after himself living with Nana, and then living with Gokudera in the college dorms...of course, when you two decided to live together, he immediately cleaned the place up until it was shining (he called it the Week of Hell) but what Tsuna forgot about was...homes need upkeep. He was utterly mortified when you finally approached him, looking displeased. "Tsu-kun...I need to talk to you about cleaning up after yourself..." He wanted to die!! You were definitely going to divorce him!! Thankfully you didn't but Tsuna never slipped up on chores again...

Hopeless with conflict━━━ you two really didn't have arguments or even disagreements. However that was more so due to have incredibly conflict avoidant Tsuna is. Trying to have a conversation about your relationship was like pulling teeth. He didn't want to have to do it, he'd rather ignore it and if you did manage to get him to sit down and "talk" he'd rather just do whatever you said. It took a long time to get Tsuna to understand that these conversations didn't mean your relationship would be destroyed. In fact, not being able to talk was what would do that. Once again Tsuna immediately tried to straighten up. This was not as smooth as a transition because he really was so avoidant...but he tried. He'd shake, sweat and clam up but he'd try to communicate better with you. It just took some...no, a long time but he'd eventually spit his words out.

Hopeful with birthdays ━━━ his birthday was the one time in the year Tsuna could always count on when he was a kid. That was a day dedicated just to him! He could get whatever he wanted and was given a lot of affection. Birthdays became even better after he made friends (that one year not included, of course.) He thinks, however, that birthdays spent with you were the most precious of all. They were never actually on his birthday after he became Neo Vongola Primo, *Reborn said he had to throw an extravagant party on the day but you always made sure to celebrate with him a day after. A day just for Tsuna, a day where he got to spend with the love of his life. It led to Oct 15th being a cherished day in his heart.

Asterisk explanations:

*I believe that once Tsuna becomes a boss officially, their relationship dynamic changes due and Reborn won't physically hit Tsuna anymore, nor will he be forthcoming about opinions. This will make Tsuna sad but Reborn is an "underling" and so keeps this line drawn for the most part. That "Dame-Tsuna" was said through gritted teeth for a reason.

*Reborn was happy inside that Tsuna felt so strongly about him but seeing the looks he got and how Iemitsu kept going "hey why are you here, Reborn?" With a laugh (this behaviour worsening the more drunk Iemitsu got) made Reborn consider kicking Tsuna in the shins.

*Tsuna will only relent on the extravagant birthday parties if Reborn is also celebrated on that day. Reborn reluctantly agrees, he is actually both embarrassed yet happy Tsuna does this for him. Not that anyone could tell.

[dreamieparadise]

Also...! Jojo always talks about how I'm the one deciding things for Miruku but let me tell you things she's decided for Momina.

Spoilers, I guess?? Like she and I talk about our stories and chars a lot but maybe someday we will write them down properly? So...yeah!

☆. Colonnello is Momina's teacher. [Lal is also Momina's teacher!]

☆. Momina joins CEDEF. How CEDEF is run and that they're a small close knit group.

☆. Momina ends up with a squad under her while working for CEDEF.

☆. Basil takes over CEDEF after Iemitsu retires and when he brings Momina along for meetings, he let's her sit instead of himself. [Lal hates this because it's not a good look so Momina shakes while staying seated because Basil insists.]

☆. The relationship between Basil and Momina. Along with Momina and the rest of CEDEF.

☆. Moon aesthetic for Momina.

☆. Momina x Mukuro and their relationship dynamic.

☆. Momina x Haru/Momina x Lal/Momina x Colonello. [The latter two are purely for AUs where they're the same age/different dynamic lol]

☆. Lancia joining CEDEF and also doting and being fond of both Momina and Basil due to their age.

☆. Haru loving to dress up and match Momina as she considers them her best friend. As a result, Haru and Gokudera BEEF. They both want to spend time with Momina.

☆. Momina's chest being a timeshare between Haru, Gokudera [and Miruku.]

☆. In hs Momina and Yamamoto dated for one week. It blew up in their faces as Gokudera ran from home upset. Drama ensues.

☆. Gokudera being Momina's neighbour. Gokudera creating a hole in their shared wall and slowly making it bigger as their relationship grows and being really mentally ill about it. ["This hole brought us together and therefore filling it is throwing away our love." 🙄] like he keeps the apartment + eventually buys it outright because he didn't want anyone touching that hole.

☆. Momina and Gokudera having a large family and also renovating their forever home to the point it rivals the castle he was born in.

☆. Came up with the hamster/small animal imagery for Momina and that her sun flame box animal was a hamster.

☆. In one of our aus where Luce is alive she is Momina's mentor [however Colonello and Lal keep kidnapping her because they wanna train her too.]

☆. Colonnello and Lal giving Gokudera a hard time because they don't think he's strong enough for their baby girl. Colonnello messes with Gokudera to "encourage him to toughen up", while Lal is just convinced he's not good enough. To the point she barges in when they're married and Momina is pregnant because she will make sure Momina is treated well!!!!1111 [Hana and Hayato have a support group bc Hana also deals with nonsense like this due to Ryohei also being their Beloved Student.]

☆. Because Colonello is 01 and Ryohei is 02, Jojo loves Momina being 03 and Kyoko being 04. Except Kyoko isn't "really" Colonello's student, he doesn't claim her. She is Mammon's student due to being a mist user! Still Ryohei and Momina consider her "one of them." Colonello disagrees while simultaneously loving her and having her do stuff for him. Momina snitches every time to Lal so he gets beaten up. Punishment!!! For Kyoko!!!! 🗣

☆. DECIDED THAT IN THE FUTURE ARC MOMINA DIES AT THE HANDS OF ZAKURO!!!

I feel like there's a lot more, but I don't remember right now. Basically: Jojo has a lot of sway over Momina, too. Lmao

[gelataisa]

Do you think Hayato would teach Chrome whatever name he calls it purely to mess with Mukuro?

Ok, so this way-too-old ask is related to this post specifically. And I'm sorry for having taken so long, but as the saying goes, it is what it is.

Anyway

The very bad thing I believe about Gokudera is that he actually doesn't teach anyone anything. My view may be skewed cause I have no memory of him in the last two arcs of the manga but I fully believe that the only person he's willing to teach to is Tsuna.

But Tsuna doesn't really ask him any of that.

And about Chrome (same disclaimers apply)... Does she really spend time with the family? The girls of course, but as for the other guardians, I'm not so sure.

The other way round would actually be more plausible to me.

Chrome spends the majority of her time with the gang, and Mukuro is a constant in her head. It would be pretty clear that it is him teaching her Italian. And it would also make sense that the other guardians maybe don't even know she knows how to speak it.

So what I envision is something like:

Kyoko and Haru brought/made croissants and invited Chrome, Tsuna (who is of course followed by Yamamoto and Gokudera) and the kids.

And when the freshly baked croissants arrive on the table Chrome exclaims, in the heaviest Milanese accent possible "Oh, these brioches are so good!"

Gokudera feels like he's having a stroke.

[thehandworld]

“How many shots would it take for you to sleep with Hibari?” (to Gokudera)

That was quite an amusing question as he wondered about it. I mean, depends if I will die or not because of it. After all, Hibari was between the list of don't mess if you want a nice, relaxed day. I would probably do that without being drunk tho. As the storm shrugs. But I would need that Hibari wanted to do that.

[lixenn]

For the KHR Ask Game: 🌵 and 🎃 (thank you for making this ask!)

You're welcome!! It was super fun and honestly I want to make up even more silly scenarios but the nonsense generator is charging again, so who knows if I can do a part three, certainly not me!

As for the questions:

🎃Lucky you! The Vongola have invited you to their annual costume Halloween Ball! What's your outfit?

Now, I'm not really a suuuper stylish person and I've never cosplayed in my life BUT! I've always wanted to wear the Kingsglaive uniform from Final Fantasy 15 and I'll take the invitation as a sign from above to dip my toes into cosplay (even though I know shit all about sewing, wigs and makeup ... I'll convince Luss to help me with my outfit, I'll bet he would have a blast with it).

Here's the uniform worn by Nyx Ulric who I'll obssess over until the day I die:

Source

I just love everything about it! The boots, the coat, the weird purple thing that has no use whatsoever! It's all fantastic, also it comes with knives and a hood with a mask which is even more awesome!

Sorry for fangirling about totally different fangirling in a KHR ask btw, I couldn't help myself (also I'm a mess ^^')

🌵You would trust this character with your life but not your pet/house plant.

I don't have a pet, so houseplant it is!

As for the character in question: It's Gokudera.

Like he can kick ass and take names no problem. Plus he's very loyal once you have his trust, so he'd have my back, but let's be real this boy is three different disasters in a trenchcoat pretending to be a person. Like he could write an entire dissertation in a month but will constantly forget to feed himself in the meantime. Sleep is seen as optional in his book and he scoffs at the thought of taking a break. He doesn't have the ability to look after himself, so I doubt he'll manage to look after my plants (even if their super low maintenance).

Now don't get me wrong if Tsuna was the one asking Gokudera to care for his plants, he would attend to these plants' every need 24/7 (and neglect himself even more in the process). However I don't have the power of the Tenth(tm), so I guess my poor little babies will die a wilty death.

[sovereigntism]

"Do you ever wonder if you're worth it in the end?" (From Gokudera from my inbox call)

King slipped a straw into the canned lemonade from the nearby vending machine. Sipping for a moment as they considered his words. "Do you ever wonder if you're worth it in the end?" Does King wonder if they're worth it? Worth what? The trouble? Sure. They know so much about the worlds, and they have an infallible desire to protect. Which means they'd take care of you no matter what even if they were the problem. Worth worrying over? No. They don't. They aren't worth your worries and concerns. They're reckless, they know it, their life is only worth being treasured in their home world. Out here, in the vast expanse of universes, the world is a mess and they don't need to worry about what's fatal and what's not. Worth loving? Ah. That one was hard. They wanted love, so dearly, desperately, like a dog clawing straight up a 90° angle trying to reach something unattainable. They usually got nowhere with their attempts at love because it was hard to open up about it all. What idiot would love someone like them anyway? Truly love them. Even if it was just as a friend... No, loving them would probably get someone hurt... They had seen it before.

"... Yes and no. Sometimes I wonder why someone would like me, even as a friend. I'm a liar. I'm temperamental. I'm selfish and irresponsible. I can be impatient and I have a huge ego about some things. Some days I'm insecure. I don't feel I'm always worth it."

King tilted their head forward and sighed, shoulders slouching at the admission, of baring their heart to him, continuing.

"But I know I have to be. I wouldn't still be alive if I wasn't. If I'm worth it to no one, I'm at least worth it to me. I'm smart. I'm fast. I'm loyal and reliable, and I'm very confident. I'm trustworthy, and I'm good with handling etiquette based things... I'm confident in my skills. I know where I'm needed and I have a place to belong at. Your question isn't if I'm worth it every second though... Or if I believe I am. You asked if I ever wonder if I'm worth it."

King straightened up, exhaling slowly to relax themself. They turned to look into his eyes, the straw rolling around in the can that was gathering condensation on the outside in the heat. They sounded intense as they spoke three words to him, giving their answer finally to his question.

"All the time."

(Essay)

Part 25 of An Exercise in Patience

It takes longer than Xanxus would like to hunt down Reborn. In a way, it's a good thing. Xanxus had been pissed off enough to be unreasonable after the whole thing was over. Tsunayoshi crying softly against his neck is not Xanxus's idea of fun. Now, at least he's calm enough to be able to string coherent sentences together instead of curse words and growls. It doesn't mean Xanxus is any more welcoming to Reborn creating havoc in his pack. The arcobaleno is stronger, but Xanxus has Mammon on his side and Tsunayoshi looks to him before he looks at Reborn. It's difficult to teach somebody who refuses to listen to you properly. 

Reborn sips his Expresso, smiling at Xanxus with that smug air that's doing nothing for the younger alpha's temper. "And? How did it go?"

Xanxus snorts, taking a seat and ignoring the question. "You crossed a line."

"Did I?" Reborn arches a brow. "I'm doing my job."

"You don't get to mess with my pack's dynamic." The relationships are already shifting as it is, the inclusion of a new member to the pack's core was always going to do that. They don't need the extra drama to top it off.

"Timoteo gave me permission to do as I please." Reborn hums, unbothered.

"Tsunayoshi is Varia, not Main Vongola." And the Independent in the title has weight, as much as Timoteo forgets that. "He doesn't have the authority."

"And what are you going to do about it?" Reborn's smile isn't nice but it's less violent than Xanxus had been expecting.

"You know," Xanxus hums, looking at the somewhat destroyed garden. "I could always tell Tsunayoshi to run all of your lessons through me first. How fast could you teach, I wonder, under those conditions?"

Reborn chuckles, setting his cup down. "Good. Next time don't wait until your omega is paying for your stillness."

Xanxus blinks, staring at Reborn's back as the cursed baby walks away. Well, fuck. He's been played. He clicks his tongue, pours the coffee in a flower pot and walks back inside. The assassin has to talk to his Rain, figure out if Luss is willing to cover dinner tonight and go back to his room before Tsunayoshi decides Xanxus isn't coming. Having read Tsunayoshi’s little report, (and the omega’s English is better than he believes it to be, Xanxus needs to remember to tell him that), Gokudera’s problem is low self-esteem. 

Harsh but not uncommon in particularly explosive Storms. Xanxus doesn’t really care at the moment, not when the brat’s bullshit is smearing all over the omega the Commander is looking after. 

He finds Squalo sharpening his Sword in the kitchen, Lussuria already checking what they have in the fridge. It’s one less thing to worry about, at least. “Shark.”

Squalo huffs but looks up at him. “The brat is off sulking somewhere but I confiscated the explosives, it might take a couple more screaming matches to get the point to sink in, though.”

Fucking Storms. Too stubborn for their own good. “How did he take the punishment?”

“Mammon will see to it that he pays,” Squalo shrugs with an amused smile but sobers up quickly. “I am half-convinced he listened only to what he wanted to hear. He’s saying he’ll do it because Sawada is too good to be forced to.”

“That makes no sense.” Xanxus growls in frustration, ruffling his hair. “I’m not delivering more punishments for this idiot’s refusal to behave.” Not to Tsunayoshi, at least. If Squalo can’t make him listen, of course the omega was going to have a hard time. He’s new to this shit.

“Spanked him?” Lussuria turns to them, wincing a little. If Xanxus knows him, and he does, the Sun is already plotting how to comfort the younger Sky. 

“No.” Xanxus crosses his arms. “Had him write an essay.”

“Huh.”

[queenharumiura]

🎂+ "Did you even notice me or am I just a replacement for Juudaime?" ((you already know who this is from))

Today is the day I celebrate Haru because of her shorthand (86) and I'll answer any questions. [x] ||Time's up! No longer accepting!|| I do know this is to take place in the future, so I'm taking some creative liberties as I don't exactly know how things lead up to them being a thing, so bear with me.

“Huh. Fuck.” What was the saying, tongue in cheek? It would be better for her to keep her silence and storm off in a fit of anger, but she was told to be honest and to not hold back, hm? She looks down at the piece of paper giving her directions for the day. All she knew was that she was going to have a strong word with a certain mun later for this horrendous idea of hers. When can a Haru ever have peace? “So this is how we’re ending things tonight with the questions? Okay.”

She honestly thought that she was safe and free, and yet everything snowballed at night, and look at this now. She’s ending things off with a bang, hm?

“You know, I expected something more out of you than this, Gokudera.” A derisive snort, “You waited until now to ask because I have to be honest and you didn’t trust me otherwise, is that it?” A relationship had to be built on top of trust, and she was being made to feel that he didn’t trust her. That deep down he felt that she still had a flame for Tsuna.

He didn’t believe that she loved him, and for someone who wore her heart on her sleeve, he’d effectively taken her love and slapped her in the face with it, thinking that he was just a replacement. This entire situation left a bad taste in her mouth both figuratively and literally. She could taste the blood from her biting so hard on her lower lip in anger.

Her line of vision kept shifting on different spots on the ceiling as she was trying to calm herself to not just launch into a slew of explicatives. Deep breath in and deep breath out, keep the tears at bay. Staring at the ceiling in an attempt to keep her composure for long enough to not break down into tears as she’s forced to address this.

There were a few things to note about Haru and her speech patterns. When she stopped referring to herself in third person, she was being very serious, and the moment she ever utters a curse word, you know you messed up, royally.

“I sure am curious though. Is this something you came up with yourself, or is it because you hear things other say about me and now you doubt me?” Don’t worry, regardless of the answer she’s still mad at you. You still went and fucked up. Mun-san really had a lot to make up for, that’s for sure.

She takes a deep breath in, holds it for a few seconds before she exhales, trying to release a lot of her frustrations with it. She managed to center herself with that one. “When I gave upon Tsuna-san all that time ago after exhausting everything I could try, that was the end of things. I had a clean break with my feelings. I did all that I could to have him see my way, but it didn’t work. I did try to hide it and I don’t know how well I did at that, but I was a mess sometimes because of it all.” She hated the fact that she was being made to admit to anything and everything.

“Did you think I didn’t know who he was pining for? Sure, I’m a stupid woman as you say, but I won’t have anyone come here and tell me that I was in the wrong for trying. The stupidest thing you can do is NOT try and lament that it never happened. I did my best to appeal to Tsuna-san. I did everything I could to try something… ANYTHING, but nothing came of it. What came out of it? Me understanding that it wasn’t going to work out. After that, all I needed to do was sever my feelings and move on.”

She says it as if it was an easy thing to do, but it wasn’t. She needed time to come to terms with the futile efforts and to understand that this was going to be viewed as a waste of time to everyone else.

“I don’t regret all that I did then, as I learned a lot from him. I developed some skill sets that I’m proud of to this day. Everyone else may think that my time spent pinning for him was a waste of time, but I see it as my journey of going through my first love and seeing it to the end. Some people can get stuck and get hung up on it forever, but I’m not like that. When I stopped loving him, that was the end of it. It was time for the next stage of my life, whatever that was.”

If she had to regret anything, it was the amount of emotional baggage that followed her after the fallout of her feelings for Tsuna. “I know that others pitied me for my futile efforts… and I know I probably looked stupid to a lot of them (if not all of them). I pretended to not see it, even if it was coming from those I cared about.” It was one thing to be pitied by random people, but to be pitied by your friends and family? It was the absolute worst. They were seeing her at her lowest, but she kept a smile on her face, pretending to not see it. Haru thought that it would hurt more if she let them know that she saw the looks.

It would be worse to acknowledge it and have them be more discreet about it.

“Ahh… fuck” she ruffles her fingers through her bangs, “there was a time where I really thought I’d be okay with being a shadow woman if only it meant he’d notice me when he thought to look down.” A scoff. “It’s stupid, how low I was at that time. Just how badly I was willing to degrade myself to relegating myself to being a shadow.” She really hated that part of her. It disgusted her every time she recalls that.

She shouldn’t have ever thought that way or spoken that way, even if at one point it may have been a joke. That’s the thing with jokes, they can feel real once you say them enough. She’s irritated on all accounts now as she’s reeling over the real question at hand and the memories relating to the question. “Do you just want me to stay hung up on the past? You just won’t let me get past it to heal and feel better about myself, will you?” She’s biting back with her own words. “Does it make you feel better to kick me down when I’ve already done that enough? Was my self-confidence and self-love tanking not enough? You have to kick me down too? Is there a point to this? Is it a game to see who can break me worse?”

What was that about holding back tears? Well, she tried.

“You know, I always wanted to have an average life by getting married to someone who loved me and start a family one day—but I can’t have that. By some twist of fate, I am affiliated with the mafia. I can’t just love a civilian and expect them to follow me into the Mafia. That then involves their family too by extension. I don’t have other options available to me. I lied to myself telling myself that it’d be okay if I was alone moving forwards. It’s too late for me to go back to being a regular civilian. I gave up on one of my dreams to stay with you all.”

That is to say that she treasured the bonds she made with everyone more than her dream of having a happily married life with some normal guy. She would’ve been plenty happy with that. Not to be a narcissist, but she would make a great wife! She’s wasting her potential here, you know?

Damn it, she couldn’t stop the tears from flooding down her face NO THANKS TO SOMEONE. She stopped as she was hectically rubbing at her cheeks, trying to wipe away the tears. Well, the show must go on, right? You wanted the full truth, after all. She won’t have anyone accusing her of wasting time by stalling.

“I already had the reputation of being the silly woman who pined after Tsuna-san for so long. That moniker will never leave me for as long as I live, I’m sure. People are going to talk and make whatever they will about my interpersonal relationships with others. They’re going to suspect that I still hold a torch for Tsuna-san, or that I’m secretly hoping for Kyoko-chan to reject him or what have you.” It was so tough on her to think that’s how people may perceive her character.

She spent the majority of her life being a regular civilian girl. She wasn’t some conniving person who lusted after power. She wasn’t someone who was willing to do any underhanded means to get what she wanted either. She was just an innocent girl who wholeheartedly loved the wrong person.

“I didn’t want to fall for anyone else associated with the Vongola. I knew that people would talk, assume that I was using them as a replacement. I didn’t want to be the reason for any of you to be looked down on. I… I’m not worth your reputations being sullied because of me.” Haru walks over to a chair and brings her knees to her chest, hiding her crying face in her knees. “I trusted that you’d believe me.” We see where that got her.

“I was fine with anyone viewing me as the worst if only my lover trusted me. That alone would be worth it. Maybe I could prove myself in the eyes of others if they saw just how much I loved you but I can’t even convince YOU that you’re the only one that I have in my heart?”

What was the point then? What is a relationship without trust at a bare minimum?

This is incredibly heartbreaking.

“You deserve someone who makes you feel confident in the fact you’re the only one for them, and I deserve someone who doesn’t doubt me even when I gave them everything that I had to offer. If with all the love I had to give you, you still had an ounce of doubt in me, I can’t stay here. I don’t deserve this.” She may have trampled her self-worth when she was pining over Tsuna, but she made a promise to herself to not do that again.

“If you truly think that you’re just a replacement for me, consider today the last time you can call me your girlfriend. I’m NOT tolerating this bullshit. Not from you.”

It’s past midnight and that’s the last of the questions she was accepting for the night, so she storms out the questioning room to cry for the rest of the night.

I'm curious if anyone but me remembered this and I have no clue if this trope is still going around but I called it " Tsuna Evil Twin" trope. Now if you don't know what I'm talking about don't worry because I'll strap ya in Tsuna is 9 times out of 10 severely depressed and suicidal and his brother is always like described in one or two ways as an exact carbon copy of Iemitsu or he looks just like the first Vongala boss he's into sports and has friends and is super popular and reborn immediately chooses him as the succesor even though they're twins and you think they're both in for the running and with Tsuna being a few seconds older but no... Iemitsu favors the younger one because he belives he fits in more as the future mafia boss lol.

This is funny but like in a morbid curious way because he's so alone in this twinsverse where the majority usually chooses Tsuna younger bro as the boss and the weirdest thing is Mukuro and Hibari and Kyoko friend group are like off the list for some reason there's like this fandom rule that just gotta have them as Tsuna group of people you know. Also Tsuna very sensitive and shy and he loves to bake he learned if from the best from his mom (sarcastic) and when he get bullied so he uses heavily foundation makeup and gosh darn Gokudera why do you gotta be an asshole in so many Twinsverse fics?

Tsuna brother has go to get himself checked in a hospital because why the animosity in this verse bro? the hatred or indifference either way he's the cause of bullying inside the home or the one who doesn't care what harm comes to Tsuna lol.

His parents are demons. I'm sorry Nana that your such a bitch in this universe but it a fandom thing sorry. What's with it with Reborn and Iemitsu always facing each other off?

Tsuna be making my boi Hibari fav lunch and fighting him secretly and him hiding who he truly is so his brother can take the mantle is something I've comed by often.

Also Tsuna being a hacker and going by Sora I think that was an alias I used to see a lot coming up is so hilarious when we damn know how much of a mess-up he is in canon . He doesn't try until force and prompted if he lives in a Twinverse he'd be out of the finsihing race and he's give that shit up quick.

Now it might come off to you that I'm trashing these authors for coming up with such storylines but I'm really not because this girlie here every night I was there reading till 2AM they kept me busy.

They couldn't be more wrong about Vongola being a mess, it was quite the opposite, Hayato was the Right-Hand man of the Vongola Boss for one reason. Being with Tsuna since he was a teenager and as well raised as the son of a Mafia Don, the Storm had more than enough baggage to take care of everything.

Hibari, I'm going back to the base and start to coordinate from there, you stay here and make sure the rest of that family is dead, as well as the diving team to find the boss. Without another word, the Cloud was back to work, killing every enemy he found and as well coordinating with the people who got there.

Gokudera looked around and then picking up his phone he found a message with a weird number as he frowned a bit at the message. Hibari! Wait! Calling the Cloud back. I will send Mukuro to help you, is that okay?

"I don't need him."

Oh, I know you don't, but can you endure it for me? The storm urges it, as he looks at him. The Cloud sighs and nods, going back to cleaning. Gokudera frowns a bit more and goes back, using his phone and sending a text to Mukuro, traveling to the temporary base they set closer. Where he was going to meet the Mist.

Tsuna eyes flutter open. He felt a sharp pain on the left side of his ankle. He must have sprain his ankle when he fell down into the sea earlier.

Tsuna look around the place, He seem to be on an isolated beach. He didn't recognize this place at all. The enemy's boss who fell down along with him into the sea was no where to be found.

He had to somehow inform Gokudera or Hibari about his whereabout. He notice his phone or belonging was no where on him.

He stood up slowly withstanding the pain on his leg moving slowly when he heard a voice. He kept his presence hidden when he notice that it was the enemy boss, listening to the conversation.

"Get rid of the remaining Vongola member in that area since there still no news of the Vongola Boss. Vongola must be in a mess right now. I am sending you the GPS of my location." He soon hang up the phone after this conversation. It didn't take long for the enemy boss to fell asleep after the conversation.

Tsuna immediately emerge from his hiding spot using his phone to send the GPS location that the other had send to his subordinate. He sent it to Gokudera's phone along with the message. 'Let the enemy think that my presence still can't be found.' before removing all trace of the contact and message

About Sarina

Sarina's gonna need some V.aria to interact with if you don't mind interacting with her as Beelzebub--Cloud officer or simply another Cloud user. Like the other members of the V.aria, she will not be easy to get along with. Like Hibari, she prefers putting as much distance as she can with the other officers of the V.aria. She knows about the previous Cloud officer and what happened to him, she knows her position is transient, temporary. She does not trust the other officers, nor do they trust her.

The tenth generation of V.ongola does not know Sarina's history, save for Reborn, Tsuna's teacher, Bianchi, and Dino, Hibari's teacher. Mukuro and Gokudera might know hints of her as the "Princess of Assassins" and that she knows how to wield another flame.

The V.aria and the Ninth generation know of Sarina's history. She is able to wield the Cloud and Sky flames. She has the inheritance ring of the family she comes from, and refuses to take off. Her true weapon is the Sky Dice, which unlocks an armoire of weapons. And that she must assassinate her original family's Don before he messes things up for the V.ongola.
