GOKUDERA HAYATO
3 FACTS FROM MY FANON OF HIM
(1) He isn't actually that great at playing the piano. Sure, he practised a lot when he was a kid, but after his mom died (and particularly after he found out how she died-) he just never really had the interest in it any more. The last time he really practised was, well, years ago, and back then he was too young to be seriously good.
(2) His favourite flavour of cigarettes is mint. His favourite brand would be Sobranie Mints, but those are expensive as fuck and he doesn't really bother with them- at least, not while Tsuna's alive. Better to spend money on the Tenth than on his own addictions, after all.
(3) He's kind of technologically a bit slow. He's not stupid, but if it doesn't really affect him then he's not really all that interested in finding out more. His phone, his computer, they're all like that- slightly overpriced, with more functions than he actually uses. Not that he doesn't understand them, it's more like he's just never bothered to understand them.
1 REASON HE SUCKS
...He smokes. That's a disgusting habit, seriously.
1 REASON HE'S AWESOME
If anyone can wear pants THAT LOW and have a hairstyle THAT GIRLY and still somehow manage to look cool? Yeah, that's pretty awesome, in my book.
5 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM
(1)
'Tenth, let me try-!'
'No- Gokudera-kun, it's alright, I can handle this- please-'
'It'll only be a moment-'
'NO SERIOUSLY- NO-'
'...'
'...'
'Sorry- I'm really sorry-!'
'...Hibari's going to kill us all, isn't he.'
'I'm really sorry! It shouldn't have blown up like that-'
'...Let's just get out of here.'
(2)
'So is that what cigarettes taste like?' Yamamoto asks, when they break off.
'Fuck you,' Gokudera replies, and punches him in the face.
(3)
He was pretty drunk last night, which isn't really an explanation as to why he wakes up feeling bruised and battered and like someone's kicked his ass like it was a football.
The look on Hibari's face when they meet later, though, answers most of the questions he's got and strongly discourages him from asking the remaining ones.
(4)
If you ever had a chance to talk to your younger self, Haru asks him, what would you say?
Gokudera just shakes his head and laughs-
'I'd never listen, anyway.'
(5)
The media reports it as a mob death, splashing bloody pictures on page 1s all over the country even as Sawada Tsunayoshi gathers the remaining members of the Vongola in remembrance for the man who died in his place.
5 PEOPLE HE NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH
(1) Chrome. He'll never be able to fully separate her from Mukuro, and there's always something about her that just unnerves him, just works him the wrong way. He'll always be the one to remind Tsuna (when Reborn's not around to do it any more) not to forget what happened to him, all those years ago.
(2) Mukuro. There's no way he's ever going to trust the bastard, let alone love him. Sure, he'll consider Mukuro part of the Vongola familiaga, but you don't have to trust- or love- all your family. (Besides, that's Tsuna's job, isn't it?)
(3) Irie Shouichi. He's responsible for Sawada Tsunayoshi's death. That says it all, doesn't it?
(4) Longchamp. Because- he's LONGCHAMP okay, you DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH LONGCHAMP. It'd never happen- and honestly, Gokudera does have better taste than that.
(5) Bianchi. In the end, he'll learn to put up with her, maybe even regard her torture with a certain sense of nostalgia (the same way adults regard the nightmares of their childhoods- 'it's over now, but it used to be so much a part of my life') but he'll never really love her. And being in love with his own sister isn't really his sort of thing.
YAMAMOTO TAKESHI
3 FACTS FROM MY FANON OF HIM
(1) He's good at all sports, not just baseball. He's a decent enough athlete that he's occasionally subbed for other people in other clubs if they're sick or out or not able to play for some reason. It's all cool with him, anyway, besides, all of these things, they're just games, right? So that's fine.
(2) The mafia thing? About a week after all of the weird things started going down, he went online and did a bit of research and was pretty amused by all of it. And he knows it's not really a game (come on, those explosions were pretty realistic, and when a piece of shrapnel injured him once-) but he continues to behave as if it were one, mostly for Tsuna's sake.
(3) He doesn't really seem have much vices. Perhaps a predilection towards being occasionally violent at things, but he controls that so well that most people just see it as him being a very good baseball player/athlete/what have you. It's Reborn who first notices this, and labels him as a 'natural born assassin'. And now that he's got that title- might as well live up to it, why not?
1 REASON HE SUCKS
He can really be a bit slow, sometimes. But he does get there in the end, so it works out.
1 REASON HE'S AWESOME
NATURAL BORN ASSASSIN. KILLER SMILE. NEED I SAY MORE.
5 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM
(1)
'Ahaha, oops, that wasn't supposed to happen.'
'...'
'Haha, hey, Tsuna? You're looking kind of red.'
'...why me.'
(2)
'So is that what cigarettes taste like?' Yamamoto asks, when they break off.
'Fuck you,' Gokudera replies, and punches him in the face.
(3)
Reborn handed him a gun once, and he managed to take out quite a few people standing around with it, but he handed it back with a shrug of his shoulders and a smile-
'It's just not my kind of thing.'
(4)
Gokudera is an idiot, Haru proclaims, he's stupid and he doesn't know what he's getting himself into and he should have called, why didn't he just call back-
'Don't worry about it.'
'How can I not worry-'
'He knows exactly what he's doing.'
'And you're so sure about this?'
'Yes.'
-she doesn't bring the topic up again.
(5)
It is, Yamamoto thinks, oddly appropriate that it's storming outside. Inside, he leans against the wall, mourning in his own way the death of a person he once considered a friend.
5 PEOPLE HE NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH
(1) Tsuna. He thinks of Tsuna as more of a friend, and later, a leader, to ever really fall in love with him. It's like, Tsuna's the captain and he's a player, and it would probably upset the dynamics of the team if he went and acted like that. Besides, even he can see how Tsuna's head over heals over Kyoko, and it's kind of amusing to watch.
(2) Xanxus. When he did train with the Varia for a while, the sheer bloody-mindedness of Xanxus unnerved him somewhat, and he couldn't help but wonder if maybe he was a little like that too. He decided in the end he wasn't, and that was the end of it.
(3) I-pin. She's a sweet girl, Yamamoto thinks, but he'll never think of her as a lover. Too young, and besides, she's also an assassin- in this case, they both know better. It doesn't mean he doesn't like her, but it'll never actually cross the line into love.
(4) Byakuran. There's something about the man that sets Yamamoto's teeth on edge- something about how he's like everything Yamamoto respects, except the opposite way around. There's no love lost, there.
(5) Bianchi. Falling for your best friend- okay, maybe- it might have happened and it might not have happened. Falling for your best friend's sister who tortured him as a child and who's more than somewhat homicidal and who's nearly killed you- not so cool.
SPANNER
3 FACTS FROM MY FANON OF HIM
(1) You know that robotics competition, when he first met Shouichi? He won it. It was a team competition, not individual, which pretty much explains it all. He was determined enough to build a winning robot, Shouichi let his team make the decisions and just did whatever he could.
(2) He doesn't underestimate people. He's a bit of a collector of bits and pieces, too- you never know when an outdated, outmodeled part might actually provide inspiration or come in useful in the future, so why not just hang on to it? And people are the same. He collects statistics and data (because, really, that's all people are) and sees through people far better than he seems to. Not that he actually does anything about it- robots are more interesting, anyway.
(3) There isn't really anything there to him. In a way, he's almost robotic himself, programmed (in a different sort of code you call DNA) to like other robots and striving for perfection. Take away those superficial things- a like for robots, a sharp mind- take away those and you don't really have anything left but a shell.
1 REASON HE SUCKS
...OH COME ON, HE DOES THIS QUITE LITERALLY.
1 REASON HE'S AWESOME
He's somehow contrived to maintain an air of complete disinterest in the mafia while working under them. I don't know how that's possible, but if anyone's able to really manipulate things around them to serve their own interests, it's Spanner.
5 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM
(1)
He can hear someone calling him but he doesn't pay attention, because what he's got at hand is more important. There's no way he's going to leave this kind of wielding to someone else, anyway, and whoever's calling him should know that. It seems like they do, and it stops after a while.
Later, he climbs down from the rigging around his latest mosca-
'Oh- you came in person?'
'I was interested. You say you've been working on a new mosca, is this it?'
'Hm? Yeah.'
He turns away and gets back to work, if it's this one guy, he'll understand. 'You monitor everything, don't you?'
'Did you say something?'
'No, Shouichi.'
(2)
It's late at night but that doesn't bother him, he hasn't seen the sun for days, in any case. But that's no matter and besides, moscas don't photosynthesize. So his internal clock's all messed up and he's got a rhythm of mechanical noises in his head and it's that which finally gets him to drop off, right in between one second and the next.
The next morning, when he wakes up with a crick in his neck and a pain in his ass, he makes a note to never fall sleep in that position again.
(3)
When he picks up the cup at the other man's invitation and takes a sip, it's something so entirely strange to him that he almost spits it back out- but ends up drinking it anyway. It's nothing special, he thinks, apart from the fact that it's Japanese, and as far as he's concerned at that moment, they've got better taste in robots than they have in drinks.
Over the years, the taste comes more to him and he ends up developing a sort-of fondness for it, but Shouichi always gives him a doubtful glance every time he mentions green tea.
(4)
'I didn't think you'd get drunk on me,' Shouichi grumbles, shoving Spanner off his shoulder and onto the floor.
'It wasn't so bad,' he replies, a smile on his face.
(5)
'You wanted to be a what-?'
'A giant robot. But, you know- I was different, as a child. And it's been a long time since then.'
'...Ah.'
5 PEOPLE HE NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH
(1) Irie Shouichi. They both understand that neither of them are the sort to fall in love, and aren't foolish enough to assume that people could be more important than either robots, or ambition.
(2) Byakuran. In a way, Spanner's more curious about the kind of person he is than in fascinated by him. He pays Spanner's salary, that's about the limit of all that he cares about- and Spanner's knows well enough that there are some questions you don't ask, and some people you don't get close to.
(3) Uni. She's his boss- was his boss- and while he maintains a modicum of respect for her, it's so far as that her position allowed him access to more research materials. That's not so bad, and that's just how things were.
(4) Iris. Look, BDSM prone busy afro women just- aren't really his type, alright? Just- no.
(5) Sawada Tsunayoshi. There's something about the boy that he regards almost as sacred, and that potential shouldn't be marred by feelings, by emotions, when without them it could be so much more, in his opinion.
GAMMA
3 FACTS FROM MY FANON OF HIM
(1) He sort of not really loves Uni- er, her mom. It's like- maybe that kind of feeling's there, there's certainly a possibility for it and he honestly is/was downright devoted to her. But he'd never have acted on it, certainly. There are some lines you don't cross, after all, and that he could be by her side more or less constantly was enough.
(2) Part of him can't help but respect Byakuran. It's not like, it's certainly got nothing to do with liking him at all, but someone who is that ruthless and that cold blooded does elicit some respect from Gamma, mostly because he knows that he could never be the same.
(3) He started playing pool as a kid, and he's very, very good at it. There was an extremely short period of time in his life when he considered going pro (I mean, it was legit, right?) but he never went through with it. He did use to participate in the occasional underground tournament, though.
1 REASON HE SUCKS
LOLICON
1 REASON HE'S AWESOME
GAMMANAIKA
5 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM
(1)
The first time it happened, he attributed it to an honest but exceedingly unfortunate mistake. It's out of character enough for him that his boss lets it go without actually murdering him outright, even if she markedly avoids him for the rest of the day and his subordinates spend the whole week snickering and nudging each other when he passes by. They stop when he beats up a few underlings from a rival family, using perhaps what is a little more force than needed, and after that it's more or less back to normal.
(2)
The second time he finds himself naked in her room, though, is no accident, and it's with a smile on her lips that she puts a finger to his, and tells him in simple terms that this night never happened, for either of them.
(3)
'I love you as my mother did,' she whispers in his ear.
'I know,' he manages to reply.
(4)
'I once considered programming a mosca based on your data,' Spanner remarks. It's odd enough that the other man is hanging around the rest of the Black Spell that Gamma now has several questions he could ask in reply, namely:
What are you here for, really?
Where did you even obtain my data?
What would be the point in that?
But all he says is 'Is that so,' before turning back to his pool table.
'It wouldn't have worked.'
'Oh?'
'There are too many unknown variables to you.'
(5)
His death is quick, when it finally happens, and the only thing on his mind is that perhaps in a world ten years before, he'll be able to tell her he loves her.
5 PEOPLE HE NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH
(1) Irie Shouichi. He hears about the man long before he meets him- the Gesso's famed second in command, mastermind of Byakuran's acquisition of the Millefiore Rings- but their first meeting left him decidedly underwhelmed, and subsequent interactions convinced him that he wanted nothing more to do with him.
(2) Byakuran. You know, this doesn't really require all that much explanation, but if it does- Uni.
(3) Hibari Kyoya. Sheer bloody mindedness and being kind of close to psychotic gave Gamma the impression that this was one more person he'd rather have nothing to do with. But it's interesting, nonetheless- he doesn't dislike the man.
(4) Gokudera Hayato. They're too similar, and he sees a bit of himself in the idiot teenager who's too loyal to his boss for his own good, and it makes him more nostalgic than anything else.
(5) Iris. Seriously, not his type at all. Really not his type at all.
HIBARI KYOYA
3 FACTS FROM MY FANON OF HIM
(1) He is always well dressed, okay. Call him a delinquent if you will, but his shirt's always tucked in and he's always wearing a jacket or a suit and his clothes are cleaned and ironed and sharp. Except when he's fighting, but he somehow manages to get a new set of clothes when he's done from somewhere.
(2) His main reason for protecting people is to get them out of his way. If whatever's bothering those people who bother him is dead, then they've got no reason to hang around him. Suits him just fine.
(3) He's way, way more comfortable with technology than anyone else in the Vongola, excepting maybe Gokudera. Between the both of them, they're the masters of box customization and use, something which he has acknowledged. It doesn't mean that Gokudera's any stronger, though.
1 REASON HE SUCKS
FUCKING WORST CATCH PHRASE EVER. 'BITE YOU TO DEATH'? WHAT YAOI MANGA DID YOU STEP OUT FROM- OH WAIT, IT'S HITMAN REPORN.
1 REASON HE'S AWESOME
FUCKING WORST CATCH PHRASE EVER. 'BITE YOU TO DEATH' AND ACTUALLY MAKING IT SOUND LIKE A THREAT? HOW DO YOU NOT CREDIT THAT.
5 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM
(1)
'Sawada Tsunayoshi, I'm going to kill you.'
'Huh? Not- bite? HIEEE WAIT I'M SORRY I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING-'
'...Kill you,' he repeats, 'so you'd better not die before that.'
'Hieeeeeeee- what?'
A moment later, Hibari decides to demonstrate what he means by beating Tsuna half to death. That seems to suffice for the time being, anyway.
(2)
'I could show you everything you ever were, everything you are,' Mukuro says. 'I could show you all the paths you've walked to reach who you've become.'
'Then show me what will be.'
'Ah. Could I? There's a question, now.'
'It wasn't a question,' Hibari replies, and by the time Mukuro realises what he means by that, his latest body is bleeding to death somewhere and he can't help but laugh.
I'll show you the only future you have, indeed.
If only death was as simple as that.
(3)
He wasn't drunk at all last night, which is why he remembers in absolute, almost-painful clarity exactly what happened, and knows perfectly well what he's going to have to deal with later that day.
The look on Gokudera's face when they meet, in other words, is everything he expected and nothing he needs at that hour, so he proceeds to strongly discourage the other man from actually saying anything.
It's to Gokudera's credit that he only takes a few minutes to figure it out on his own, anyway.
(4)
There are five gunmen that he sees, among them two snipers, one with a machine gun and two with handguns.
He never notices the sixth until it's too late.
(5)
'Sawada Tsunayoshi, get up.'
'They were here- I'm sorry. I know- you were supposed to kill me, weren't you?'
'Get up.'
'I'm so sorry.'
5 PEOPLE HE NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH
(1) Sawada Tsunayoshi. Whatever it is he feels towards or with regards to him, it's not love. It's more of interest, which is more than can be said for just about everyone else he's interacted with.
(2) Mukuro Rokudo. In this case it's more like using him as a yardstick. It goes without question that Hibari will become stronger than him, so it's simply a matter of when and where, at which point he'll cease to be of any concern to him.
(3) Yamamoto Takeshi. There's a sort of disdain there, because out of everyone around them, Yamaoto manages to conceal the fact that he's an assassin the best, and Hibari has never seen any need for such trivial behaviour.
(4) Ryohei. Who just pisses him off to the extreme, really.
(5) Dino. At the very most, they're two equals in seperate worlds.
BELPHEGOR
3 FACTS FROM MY FANON OF HIM
(1) You know that whole thing about him being royalty? Murdering his twin? It's bullshit. Someone needed an explanation of how a kid that age found himself in an assasination squad that notorious and he made an offhand remark one day that resulted in rumours adding to themselves. It all looked and sounded pretty funny to him, so he encouraged them- why not? No harm, and it just made people look at him like he was crazy, which meant that they almost always underestimated how sane he really is.
(2) He's not all that psychotic about the blood thing. I mean, he knows that when he sees his own blood he gets really worked up and fights a hell of a lot harder, but to him, it's just another tool he uses in battle. If it comes down to a close fight, he's willing to cut himself to even the score, but he won't pull something like that out for no reason.
(3) He knows exactly how he appears. The crown? The clothes? The hair? It's not just because he likes to dress that way ( and make no mistake, he enjoys every second of it ) but because of the effect they have on people who look at him. Crazy prince? Psychotic teenager? Absolutely batshit? Perfect, because that's when they end up least prepared for how logically he acts in a fight.
1 REASON HE SUCKS
HOW DOES HE SEE THROUGH THAT HAIR seriously it's NOT VERY COOL AT ALL. And it gets less cooler as he grows up.
1 REASON HE'S AWESOME
Mid-rage attack of FUCKING KICKASS. It's even more annoying in the NDS game, ffff.
5 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM
(1)
And he hurts all over, he can hardly stand but it doesn't matter, that's never mattered to him. 'I'm a prince,' he says, 'I'm a prince, and you can't do anything to me.'
'Fuck that,' the man in front of him says. 'You want to be a prince? Fine. Listen up- I'm the motherfucking king, trash.'
Is that so, he thinks. Then: I like the sound of that.
(2)
'You're crazy,' Marmon tells him, but this is nothing new to either of them- not the wires stretching across the alley and two dead man torn to shreds, blood on the ground, on Belphegor's knives and wires and turning the brown-gray cobblestones a fetching shade of red. Not that it'll last for long, anyway, blood oxidises and it'll be rust brown before evening.
'Crazy?' he replies, laughing. 'You think I'm crazy, then?'
The Acrobaleno doesn't back off, doesn't back away ( why should he? what has he to fear from a child? ) and shakes his head. He is muttering something about payment when Belphegor pulls at his cloak, dragging them both face to face.
'Marmon, oh, Marmon. If I'm crazy, then what are you?'
They stay like that for seconds, not minutes, but it could have been hours before he laughs and lets go-
'Don't you know, Marmon? I'm a prince- I'll be anything I want to be.'
(3)
It's something he's heard about every now and then and it sounds vaguely interesting, so he decides to try out having sex one day. It's hardly as entertaining as he'd expected and on the whole is pretty boring, so he cuts the prostitute to shreds afterwards and tips the brothel owner enough to cover the cost of the bloody sheets.
(4)
'He's dead,' the man repeats, and it's becoming such a mantra that Belphegor is half convinced that he's well on his way to driving himself crazy, if he isn't already there. 'He's dead, and you bastards didn't do a fucking thing-'
'Listen, bomber brat. We're Varia, we don't protect-'
'Yeah, that should be fucking obvious by now-'
'-we kill. And in the absense of the Vongola Tenth, the right hand man gives the orders. Didn't you know that?'
He waits the few seconds that it takes for his words to register, and is finally rewarded by the dawning of realization in Gokudera Hayato's eyes.
(5)
'You're crazy,' Marmon tells him, as he is dying.
'I know,' he replies. 'There's no better way to live.'
5 PEOPLE HE NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH
(1) Xanxus. There's a lot of respect and maybe even fear, but Xanxus is his boss and the closest Belphegor's ever come to 'love' is really more of loyalty in the extreme.
(2) Marmon. Money minded little bugger, and as far as Belphegor's concerned, capable of taking care of his own business and should stop interfering in his.
(3) Squalo. Loudmouthed shark that's only good for fighting, and really, Bel's pretty sure that he can beat him if it comes down to that, so he's not of any concern.
(4) Gokudera Hayato. He's smart but honestly, that dog-eared loyalty to the Tenth is trying at best and incredibly annoying at worst. Not that he doesn't appreciate the work that he put in on his Box and rings system, that was pretty impressive.
(5) Hibari Kyoya. Belphegor'd thought he'd got psychotic pretty down pat, until he was forced to admit that the President of the Namimori Student Council was in a class of his own.
CHROME DOKURO
3 FACTS FROM MY FANON OF HER
(1) She's not very close to anyone. Her general opinion on people is that people mostly suck, and that they're not really worth her time or effort. With the exception of Mukuro, who's like her, Tsuna, who is important to both of them and Ken and Chikusa, who are more like dogs than friends, Chrome isn't likely to do favours for anyone else.
(2) The illusory organs aren't all that perfect. They work well enough, which is to say that her normal bodily functions are fine, but if she were to go for a medical examination, the results would be pretty interesting, to say the least.
(3) Most of the time, she has a habit of forgetting to eat or skipping meals. It's not really any problem, because she's the sort of person who only eats when she gets hungry, and if no one's there to remind her that perhaps it's about time for lunch or dinner, if she's not hungry, she just won't bother about it.
1 REASON SHE SUCKS
...Still no pantyshot after all this time, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE.
1 REASON SHE'S AWESOME
She's quite possibly capable of beating up anything in her way, if she gets the hang of using her ring properly.
5 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO HER
(1)
It's in a dream that they first meet, and they can tell that it's the same for both of them.
'Let me go with you,' the boy says, 'and I'll let you walk again. Breath again, be alive again.'
She smiles at him; it is like smiling at a mirror.
'It would be hell,' she says, and reaches out to him.
And then she wakes up, and her name is Chrome.
(2)
'Thank you, boss,' Chrome murmurs, and leans over-
-only to have Gokudera Hayato shove an arm right in front of her, the expression on his face stating exactly what he thinks, which is to say: GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THE TENTH.
'He is my boss too,' she points out.
Gokudera doesn't bother to reply, chosing to drag a spluttering Tsuna off with him. But Chrome knows why, Chrome's always known since she met him.
Sawada Tsunayoshi may be her boss, but he is not her friend.
(3)
It was necessity that drove them to masquerade as a couple, because neither of them were foolish enough to travel under their own names in such parts. It was necessity, after all, since there was nothing else they could have passed themselves off as- not relatives, for they were too dissimilar, nor friends, as they had never been.
But for them both to create an illusion of lost love and to potray relationship so strained that it required no words was easy, perhaps too easy, for them. So that was how they traveled, with quiet glances towards and away from each other, with no words, no touches, no one daring to question them.
It had been too easy, Chrome reflects later, looking over the bodies lying behind them before creating the illusion of an empty street, for her to assume that it could have lasted for long as it had.
And she looks over at Hibari, cleaning the last flecks of blood from his tonfas, and for a moment, wishes that it could have lasted longer.
(4)
'I could make you both follow me,' she says once, causing both Ken and Chikusa to look at her, 'I could make you both believe that you were loyal to me, completely so, and that you would die for me, if it was required for you.'
She pauses-
'I could make you believe that it isn't me, but Mukuro-sama speaking, if I wanted. It would not be too hard.'
Ken snarls a reply at her, stomping away from her in disgust, while Chikusa studies her for a second longer.
'You could,' he says finally, before turning aside.
'Yes,' she replies. 'I could.'
(5)
It's in a dream that they first meet, and he makes her slightly nostalgic.
'Let me take over,' he says, and he is so eager, she cannot help but wonder if this was how she appeared, all those years ago. 'Let me be the illusion instead.'
'It would be hell,' she tells him. 'And if you never woke-?'
'There are other lives, after this,' he says, and smiles.
It is like smiling at a mirror.
She reaches out to take his hand, and then he wakes up, and his name is Leonardo Lippi.
5 PEOPLE SHE NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH
(1) Sawada Tsunayoshi. She has a strange sort of respect for him, and like Mukuro, realises that simply leaving him to his own devices would probably be the most effective way of destroying the entire mafia. But it'll never be love- her respect does not stretch that far.
(2) Ken. Loyal to the death to Mukuro, she considers him more of an asset than a friend or even a lover. She's not averse to the thought, certainly, but sees very little point in it, and isn't likely to do anything about him.
(3) Chikusa, for all the same reasons she would never fall in love with Ken. They're very similiar, in her eyes.
(4) Mukuro Rokudo. They're too similar, when it comes down to it, and both of them have the general opinion that humanity (all humanity-) is worthless. For her to fall in love with Mukuro would be akin to falling in love with herself, and she would never be so proud.
(5) Hibari Kyoya. The extent of her concern for him is this: that he is a person whom Mukuro has an interest in. And that's honestly it.
KUSAKUBE TETSUYA
3 FACTS FROM MY FANON OF HIM
(1) He's surprisingly competent in the kitchen, and is actually a bit of a cook. It makes sense for him to be one, anyway, since he ended up looking out for the rest of the prefects (Hibari wouldn't have) and himself. Not that he's anything of a real chef, but he can manage without burning himself or the food.
(2) Apart from just the kitchen thing, he's got a whole host of other skills- a bit of a jack of all trades, actually. He's a decent enough accountant and secretary, he can lead if he knows what he's aiming for, he can handle guns, knives, explosives, that sort of thing. He never meant to actually know all that, it just sort of... happened.
(3) That he joined the disciplinary committee in Namimori was just sort of chance. He's a sort of big, fairly strong guy, and he figured, why not? Better to be directly under someone like Hibari instead of in his way. That he stuck with it was by choice, though.
1 REASON HE SUCKS
aaaaaaaaaaaaugh THE FUCKING RETRO HAIRSTYLE. He'd actually be pretty hot if he styled it NORMALLY but NO THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN damn it I KNOW HE'D BE HOT if only he did.
1 REASON HE'S AWESOME
Incredible levels of patience- that, and he's probably the only person Hibari doesn't really treat as a person (which is to say, he's probably the only person Hibari doesn't feel like murdering on sight), which is pretty not bad. He's smarter than he seems, most likely.
5 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM
(1)
It's a week before the cat decides that Kusakube's not worth noticing, after all. He supposes that this is probably an improvement- before this, it'd just about clawed his face of every time he'd approached it. This time, it simply flicks its tail in his direction, before yawning and ignoring him.
He laughs a little, nudging the bowl of food closer to it, and then leaving. It's healing well, he thinks, so he'll let it go soon.
The next day sees the bowl empty and the curtains of his room ripped to shreds, so he figures it's about time to release it. There's a moment where he attempts to give it a small pet, but luckily for him, he manages to draw his hand back before it sinks its teeth into his flesh.
'You're pretty vicious,' he comments.
There isn't a reply from the animal, which doesn't really bother him. Leaning over, he nudges his window open, letting it out.
The next week or so, he stops by the road he picked it up off, wondering if it'll come back, but it never does.
Animals are like that.

'I'll clean it up,' he says, and Hibari nods, leaving him alone in the alley with blood on his hands and a body at his feet.
The second time it happens, a month later, he finds that it isn't quite so difficult to forget the feeling of dead weight sagging in his arms.
(3)
There is something about her that makes Kusakube wary, but it's hard for him to place-
'You're staring,' Chrome says, quietly.
'Ah. Sorry, I didn't-'
'It's alright,' she says.
-or perhaps, not getting beaten up on sight is still something of a novelty to him.
(4)
There is something about him that makes Kusakube wary, and it's easy for him to place-
'You're staring,' Mukuro comments, a smile on his face.
'I think you had better leave.'
'Don't have me believe you really are as slow as you seem, Kusakube-kun. It'd be such a disappointment.'
-or perhaps, it's not as simple as he thought it was at the beginning.
(5)
He sees the small body at the side of the road, the guts spilling out and flies starting to settle on it. Give it a few days and a bit of rain and it'll be nothing more than a bloody smear.
There are two things he thinks, when he walks past it:
If only people were as simple to clean up after, and-
-now he knows why the cat never came back.
5 PEOPLE HE NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH
(1) Hibari. As much as he follows Hibari's orders, even when they're grown, he'll never actually forget how batshit Hibari can act sometimes. There's a bit of fear mixed in with the respect (and there's nothing wrong with that-), that and he's no fool, you'd have to be one to love a guy that crazy.
(2) Mukuro. After the whole Kokuyou incident, even when Mukuro and Chrome become Tsuna's guardians and that sort of thing, there's no reason for him to ever trust him. Love is out of the question, particularly so since Mukuro's- as far as he sees it- as crazy as Hibari, in his own way.
(3) Sawada Tsunayoshi. He grows up capable, but for Kusakube, the only orders he'll take will be from Hibari Kyoya. That aside, he does allow himself a certain flexibility with them.
(4) Dr. Shamal. Three words for both of them: 'NOT HIS TYPE'.
(5) Gokudera Hayato. They both have other commitments and other people, and while they did know of each other, there wasn't exactly more time in their lives for more of an interaction than just that.
