Case 29: Turnabout Decision

[Filtered to Reborn, Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto]

"...So, uh.  Quitting the Vongola Family.  How do you do that?  Do you guys even let people out?  Or am I kinda stuck in this arrangement now?"

Yeah, he isn't the boss yet. He's supposed to be soon though... [ He laughs sheepishly. ]

So, why're you quitting? [ AS HE HOPES THIS IS NOT A BREAKUP. ]

It's because of Mukuro. The reason I joined up with you guys is because it seemed like you were more interested in protecting people than... y'know. The usual mafia type stuff. But Mukuro pretty much came right out and told the whole town that he kidnaps, tortures, and kills people for fun. So I did some thinking, and I don't think I really want to be involved with an organization that has guys like Mukuro around. I think my father would be really disappointed in me.

[ He's silent for a bit. If he were smarter, he would've said something about the mafia originating out of the business of paid protection! But like hell he knows that. ]

Mukuro's, well...he's different. I mean, he's technically a member of the Family, yeah, but. The things he does aren't the same things we do. He was our enemy once, you know. Now it's just...a weird alliance, I guess.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's the problem... I mean, you know what happened to my dad, and who killed him.

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. But we're not here to kill people. Sure, we've gotten into our fair share of fights, but we do what we have to in order to protect the people we love and care about.

But you don't have to be a part of it if you don't want to be. It's not something we can force you into doing.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...It just doesn't feel right, after knowing that someone like Mukuro is part of it. Y'know? I... sorta feel like my dad and Mr. Edgeworth would be disappointed in me.

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I understand. When I... [ Another pause. And then he laughs quietly, not as sincerely as usual. ] I totally understand. You should be doing something you want, right?

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Long awkward silence.]

"I... don't really know where to go from here. I mean, I was friends with you all before I knew anything about the Vongola..."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Are you just... Is this...

[ Another long, awkward silence. ]

You could still be friends with us.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"No. No way. I'm not breaking up with you. Don't worry about that.

And... I guess I still can. I mean, it's not like I ever really helped you guys out with mafia stuff, right?"

[She sounds like she's trying to justify it to herself.]

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Heavy sigh of relief goes here. ]

We haven't even done much mafia stuff to begin with. You know, besides Mukuro dragging the whole town, and Tsuna's girlfriend, into his problems.

Actually, I don't know what qualifies as actual mafia stuff. We just usually end up having big battles with people trying to take over the Vongola, or the world. [ He actually laughs at this. ]

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
"You've never killed anyone, right?"

[Sighs, and doesn't really leave him time to answer.]

"...I mean, I know I've asked you before, and I believe you and everything, but... I just want to hear you say it again."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I've never killed anyone. I promise.

[ He thought he did once; he thought he let Squalo die and that ate him up inside, but he didn't... ]

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
That's just...not my style. [ He laughs quietly, trying to make light of the situation. ]

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
So, is everything okay now?

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I feel a lot better now.

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Good, I'm glad.

Sorry about Mukuro though.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-08-28 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's okay, I'm just going to avoid him from now on."

[Silence for a few moments.]

"Hey, we should go on another date."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Good plan.

[ But he doesn't miss a beat. ] I'd love to.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I was thinking we could, um... go to Makeout Point this time.

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Good thing you can't see Yamamoto! Because he's totally blushing. ]

...Really?

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
We could do that. Let's do it.
