[Haru frowns, he stops eating and puts his hands in his lap. Somehow the statement is sobering. The ex-whore hadn't considered how attached he might be to..]
Tsuna is an idiot but Gokudera isn't. I like him a lot. Even though he's hard headed and..Sometimes he thinks he knows everything and he's got a lot of weird ass habits that I don't get..and a Ryuho which is confusing enough. But he reminds me of me, before everything happened and things got too complicated. He's so loyal to that fool that he'd do anything for him. Even if it cost him everything else. He'd die for nothing more than to be his fucking foot cushion, not even for something good.
[The quarter hesitates to finish but he decides to.]
He's been here with me since the beginning. He's seen me through being clean and high. He's been the only person to talk to me on dark days and the good ones. Even when Hong Kong left he was still there to be my friend. [Now he can't continue. He sits there poking his food suddenly worried and afraid he might actually have to choose between the two very soon.]
From your perspective maybe he isn't so bad... but to me, i'm merely just his enemy. We're on different sides. If you still want to be friends with him, that isn't going to change anything between us~
[Contently eats another spoonful of his parfait, smiling in that usual way of his, no real emotions really showing themselves as per the normal. Maybe he is a touch biased due to what's going on back home and how the Vongola have treated him but that's just something he needs to know, really~]
[He remains still. Haru stares at his hands then casually glances over at Byakuran. The quarter can't tell if he's for real or not, this is normally the part where something terrible happens to him. He puts his trust in others then.. ]
You won't change your mind right? [He sounds almost like a kid.] You promise?
Hmm? I'm a man who stays behind his word, Haru-chan~
[A chuckle and he reaches over with one hand and gently ruffles the other's hair in an almost gentle, playful gesture] I can promise you I won't change my mind later along the line~
[The ex whore's smile brightens to something more real but then he makes a face ruining a sweet face.]
Heyyy~ Why is it you always know the right thing to say damn it! It's really not fair~ But I still owe you an answer~ You can ask me anything and I'll tell you the truth.
[It's enough to make him laugh softly but he does nod softly. He is well aware he has a penchant for saying just the right thing in situations but he leaves that unsaid for now]
Then.... would you mind me asking what your life was before arriving here? I admit I am curious~
[He continues to nibble at his food while he talks. Haru speaks of these things casually and rather fondly.]
I live in Shinjuku Tokyo. The area is full of slums and pollution. There's money but it's not in cutesy normal jobs. There's drugs and kids run in street gangs even from an early age. A lot of them don't have parents or people who care about them. You grow up fast.... Especially if you're like me, part animal. Normal humans look down on you because the government made the halves but they can't kill them because they're important to the fertility of the country. All they ever wanted from us is to fuck but forget having a life or being able to survive.
I'm not even a half, I'm a quarter. I have a half mom and a human dad. It's not any better really for a quarter. Sometimes it's worse because the protection from the government is gray with us.
Personally I was kind of a normal kid until I met my first boyfriend Tet-chan. I was just a grade school kid and he was really handsome. He offered me some candy and kinda fell into life with him after that. He's the one who showed me what I really was. All of my piercings were done by him. Sometimes when I was high sometimes not. Some of best moments in life were with him 'Until we saw things differently.'
I met Lloyd by Tetchan and joined their street gang, Platinum. That was really fun too. It was really kind of amazing to belong to something. To someone. and to be with other people like me. I miss it but- My life isn't so bad now!
It's fun and interesting. I hang out with my friends- the girls who work the street. There's always clubs open so I can go party at them and get drunk when I want. I also skate with this group of kids, The Jammie Angels. Ryo the leader made up the name. He's such a stupid cow sometimes~
There's fire candy when I can afford it or the fake kind from a friend of mine. I get to have all the sex I want because I'm a whore and one day I'm going to get Lloyd back for what he did to me. That's all I really need. It's everything I ever needed.
[He had left out the most painful parts and the holes were obvious..]
[As Haru explains all of this, he does nod softly in response to his words while calmly eating his parfait. What an interesting life that the other had, really. He didn't think any less of Haru for it and found it all a bit fascinating on some level]
It seems like your life wasn't so bad, give or take what happened with this Lloyd fellow who you want to get revenge on~
[He laughs a little.] You're the first person to say that. Everyone else thinks I'm bat shit to love it. But it's true what Dorthy said. There's no place like home~
[Nods softly at that and pops a piece of chocolate from his parfait into his mouth carefully]
I do agree~
Everyone has their own perceptions on matters and this is no different. I personally see it as interesting world and if it makes you happy then I see there being no wrong in that~
Nothing really changes~ Lots of people have that one person... or people that they don't like and want dead but I fail to see how there would be anything wrong with wanting to do something like that~
I don't know~ You just seemed like a boss and you talked about the other people like they were under your charge.
So you're a real boss. Not like Tsuna. What exactly is it with these families are you all like this? Crazy powers and crap? The yakuza in my world was pretty bad ass but not with like lasers and shit.
[It's rather refreshing; that Haru kept notice of such things and only after a moment of thinking that he decides to answer, a lazy, calm smile on his lips as he toys with what's left of his parfait]
For the most part, yes~
Every mafia family has their head and the guardians that work under them to protect them. They all use the power of the Dying Will Flames and it gives them an advantage, though not all fights are done in our world like that and some still find it amusing to use guns and knives and all that old-fashioned stuff~
[Shrugs casually, eating a biteful of his parfait happily] I suppose it's just how it's always been and it's doubtful it's going to change anytime soon~

Maybe I'm getting soft...

So are you the boss of something or what?

Hmm~?
Indeed I am~ I'm the head of the Millefiore mafia family back in my world~
