the balance of devotion - part 1

Primo fic!

This is Giotto/G. I figure Giotto and G for being very like Tsuna and Gokudera if they’d grown up together and always had the security of knowing the other one was around. Which would probably make for more stable personalities, higher self-esteem…a disturbingly codependent relationship…

My futile attempts to impose logic on this series

BEST WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR.

When you grow up with a guy, you end up knowing everything about him. Everything. The good and the bad. The time he hid in a cellar and refused to come out until he’d peed his pants, but also the time I fell into a lake and almost drowned and he saved my life. Things neither of us have ever told anyone.

Oh gosh. I love how you basically summed up everything there is to know about their relationship in a few sentences and a pair of anecdotes. I know any fic I read by you is gonna be good, but when I got this paragraph, it confirmed that yes, I was going to love this fic.

Giotto turns away from his contemplation of the hills, and for the first time this conversation, he gives me his full attention. Which always feels like being bathed in sunshine. Someone needs to get this guy under control before he accidentally takes over the world.Loved this part right here. Sums up his appeal right well, and it's equal parts fascinating and just-this-side-of-creepy

:D I'm so glad you liked it!

The more I wrote Giotto, the more just-this-side-of-creepy he seemed. Really, the only thing that saves Tsuna from being creepy is that he's dead sure he's a loser. If he didn't have that... o_O

And I'm glad you liked the disturbing Spade and Ugetsu moment! I think that was my favorite Ugetsu scene, partly because he was closest to Yamamoto there.

That guy. I don’t even know what to think about that guy. He’s such a dick, I kind of love him.
G SUMS UP MY FEELINGS ABOUT MANY KHR CHARACTERS.
I KNOW, RIGHT?

Giotto and G's relationship was so fun to write. Just that comfortable, nagging-means-love, known-you-forever thing. ♥

*goes to read part 2 comment!* :D

Thank you so much! G was a nice change for me, too--there are so few characters in KHR with that "BURN IT ALL" attitude, G was refreshing. :D And I'm glad you liked my take on the Primos! It's true we don't know much about them, but that gives us a lot of freedom to mess around with them. Which is fun. :)

(Fixed the Ryouhei thing, thank you. I was so worried about messing up Lampo and Lambo that I let the Ryouhei SLIP RIGHT BY. *headdesk* XD)
