[neverbeenworse]

[It was a sleepless night for Enma - letting one's mind relax while you know that back home, the people most important to you have been shut up in prison is a difficult feat, to be sure. But more difficult to handle is the anger, the slow burn that he feels in his chest that slowly turns into a blaze of emotion that swallows him whole. He can't

ALPINE DISTRICT [Stop the Ginger]

[neverbeenworse]

1/4

[reluctant10th]

[Tsuna had heard sounds of the destruction making its way up to the Alpine District and he bolted out of the cabins, hoping to intercept Enma before he made it to the housing area]

--Enma!!!

2/4

[reluctant10th]

[return his-- He clenched his fists]

3/5

[reluctant10th]

[He lifted his head and breathed out slowly]

I didn't take your family, Enma.

4/5

[reluctant10th]

When we get back home, I'll help get them all out of the Vindice, Enma. They wont stay there--!

5/5

[reluctant10th]

[He positions himself to protect Gokudera, pushing away the anger burning at the back of his heart Enma was his friend but so was Gokudera-kun and he would not stand for other people hurting them]

...I don't want to fight you, Enma.

[But he would protect his friends]

Re: 5/5

[neverbeenworse]

[Tsuna's statement confuses him, frustrates him. He doesn't want to fight? Then what do you want, Tsuna? To hide? To run from the reality of the situation, to pretend like nothing has happened?]

It's too late for that!

[He thought you were better, once]

I gave you a chance, Tsunayoshi, and you made your choices.

Re: 5/5

[reluctant10th]

. . .a chance?

[Tsuna echoes, looking confused and upset. Frustrated too. A chance? When? In that week? In that short time they were, Tsuna had felt, good friends? What had he done in that time? Was it because of the inheritance ceremony?]

You never gave me a chance, Enma. The inheritance ceremony--I made my choice to protect my friends. Fighting you, your family -- I never wanted any of that!

[Tsuna had trusted you so much and then you went and stabbed him--all of them in the back. He can understand Enma's hatred against him but his friends--Yamamoto, Chrome, Ryohei--they never deserved that. They never should have been hurt like that in the first place]

[neverbeenworse]

Don't lie, Tsunayoshi.

[It's almost funny, how hard they try to keep up this sort of charade]

Adelheid saw you the day I asked for your help. It was like nothing wrong! It was like you never missed me -- it's nice to be able to ignore "friends" when it's convenient, isn't it?

1/3

[reluctant10th]

--what?

...what are you...talking about?

2/3

[reluctant10th]

You're wrong. I would never leave a friend that needed my help! I couldn't do that--!

3/3

[reluctant10th]

But you didn't ask me. I didn't even know you needed my help until now. If I had known you needed my help, I would have helped you straight away! I didn't know...

[His eyes sting a little and his voice cracks a little. When had Enma asked for help? To think he had left a friend behind because he was careless or something similar--]

I'm so sorry Enma...I'm sorry...I wasn't there--

THREADJACKS TO THE EXTREME...

[grylls_bears]

[and in the background, keeping a weather eye on this extremely unpleasant development, stands one of the few Vongola who actually does live up here. Ryohei's perfectly happy to let Sawada do all the talking, but if Kozato makes one move towards his friend or his house the boxer won't hesitate to the extreme about stepping in.

for now he waits cautiously, because it's not his round just yet, but that bell could ring at any time and he'll be ready for it.]

FOLLOWS THREADJACKING... (but in the background/not here)

[caligisti]

[ -- whereas Mukuro does not live in the vicinity, but given his crazy stalker tendencies, he was probably watching half of these proceedings as an owl or a dog or some other various and sundry weird shit.

And what a sight it is. A petulant child disturbing the Vongola ghosts (priceless), stirring Yamamoto and Gokudera up, and causing them to run about looking even more idiotic and dramatic than usual. For the amusement of seeing those stupid looks on their faces alone, Mukuro thinks it was worth it to eavesdrop on this little affair.

But what is one to make of this curious matter of calling Tsunayoshi's name and proceeding to engage in some confused, hormonal, adolescent drama reminiscent of a teenage soap opera? Mukuro can scarcely differentiate them from a pair of yapping chihuahuas (albeit one brightly coloured).

Naturally, he could not give less of a shit about their hysterics on any level of emotional or intellectual investment, but there is more here than meets the eye as concerns the larger picture of the Famiglia (not to

HI GAIZ!

[neverbeenworse]

[It's a low chuckle - one that starts in the back of his throat and makes his shoulders shake. The sound of his laughter is soft, quiet, like a tea kettle right before it begins to boil, and Enma is less amused and more venting a million emotions that are bubbling up inside of him as he listens to Tsuna. Pathetic, pathetic, all of your excuses are pathetic]

Sorry?!

You're not sorry! I've told you before, Tsunayoshi, you're a liar! A fraud! I left you a letter! If you had cared at all, you would have been there! I gave you all the chances in the world!

[reluctant10th]

I'm not lying Enma!

[He didn't understand any of this at all. What letter?

He senses Mukuro and Ryohei nearby and hopes the latter is checking on Gokudera while Tsuna attempts to talk Enma down. He doesn't want to fight but he's starting to wonder if Enma was listening to him at all]

I never received a letter! And I do care, I would have been there if I had known!
