Ben!

Yamamoto is on his way to wish you a Happy Halloween!

Of course you can! I hope you enjoy - I absolutely love doing platonic matches so this was a real treat!

In my humble opinion, your female best friend in KHR would be DANIELA!

Daniela intimidates a lot of people and few want to get close to her. When they do, it’s normally only to use her power. Her true friends are few and far between and she’s fairly choosy about who she lets into her life. However, she’s never once felt threatened or used in your friendship with her, never once felt like you were simply after her protection or power. Daniela is a good judge of character and has a knack for correctly reading people and she really does see you quite well and knows that you are as loyal a friend to her as she is to you.

Daniela isn’t able to drop her guard very often, to lower the public persona of Vongola Boss that she shows most of the world at large. There’s only a handful of people she’ll really feel comfortable just being herself with, people she’ll feel comfortable talking to honestly and confiding in. Outside of her Guardians (and even then, she doesn’t fully trust all of them), there’s maybe two or three people and of them, you’re her chosen ear to whisper in, her chosen companion for adventures and games. Your calm demeanor makes it easy to talk to you and with as honest as you are, she knows you’ll keep her secrets. You’re so observant, especially when it comes to people you spend a fair bit of time around, and you’ll usually even be able to tell when she’s keeping something inside that she needs to talk about and you always seem to pick the right moment to be there for her. 

The two of you will have become friends in early childhood. Though she was always being groomed to be the boss, before Daniela was actually Vongola Ottavo, she had a bit more leeway in how she behaved. A tomboy and a bit of a hellion, the brash, confident Daniela was at complete odds with the quiet, almost fade in the background you. The two of you were never people that others would consider becoming such good friends. You didn’t even think you’d become friends with her. But she saved you from bullies one day when you were children and boldly stated that you were going to come and play with her and be her friend. If you were her friend, after all, the bullies wouldn’t bother you and besides, she was bored and nobody wanted to play with her (she tended to scare most of the other children away). Her loud and confident personality may have overshadowed yours at points, as much as she tried to avoid that, but it also forced you to come out of your reserved shell quickly and before long the two of you were close friends. 

You often played together as kids, spent nights together and had all kinds of fun adventures. Your family was large and you were often left to take care of yourself and Daniela was often left to her own devices, as her father was busy with the Vongola. The both of you had to learn to take care of yourselves from an early age and it really helped bond the two of you. I see the two of you learning to cook together (she was the better cook, you the better baker - she loves your cookies, even as an adult, and will ask you to make her some almost every time she sees you). As kids, the two of you played sports and games with the other neigbourhood children and she always picked you first for her team. The two of you had radio serials that you both loved, comic books that you both huddled over together and she was always amazed and delighted whenever your quick hands drew out a picture from the latest episode of the serial or drew up one of your favourite comic characters for her. Though she’ll have lost some of them, she still has a few of them put aside, even as an adult, just for nostalgia’s sake. 

She always thought you were amazingly talented and encouraged you in everything you did. Daniela was always a woman who strongly believes in supporting other women (I personally headcanon that, given that she led the Vongola during World War II, when a lot of the men would’ve been off and fighting, that Daniela used women to fill a lot of the spots in the Vongola and that she probably even had a female Guardian or two). No more so was this evident than in her relationship with you. She was always there to quietly (or not so quietly, when the two of you were kids) support you and to give you the push you needed to do something, especially when you weren’t feeling confident enough to do it yourself. She knows how you fear making the wrong choices in life, how you fear having your life mean nothing and she’ll always make sure you know just how baseless those fears are. After all, even if your life isn’t spectacular, you make the lives of those around you better - your friendship with her matters more than any fancy accolades or awards. She won’t come out and say these things but she’ll let you know, in her own ways, just how much your friendship means. And besides, your life with her around is never boring enough for those fears to have any truth to them. While she won’t let you officially join the Vongola, I could see her using you to help out the organization, hiding members of the resistance groups with you during Germany’s occupation of Italy or even having you watch over her young son as she fought as Vongola boss. That last one was an honor above all - Daniela trusted precious few people with her beloved son. 

While Daniela became busier and busier as the two of you grew and you spent less and less time with her, your friendship never faltered. Though the two of you may not see each other every day, you both know your friendship is still there and when you do see each other, it feels natural to just continue on conversations the two of you had been having the last time you saw each other. The two of you will always be friends, will always gossip and have an interest in each others lives, will always trust and support each other. Your kids will grow up together and the two of you will grow old together, even if there are months and months that go by without the two of you seeing each other - it’s simply that kind of friendship.

“I just finished reading it and I can't really explain how I feel. I do feel happy and I feel warmth, like when a friend puts a hand on you shoulder while giving you an advice. I think all made sense and it made me remember things I knew but were not that present in my mind. I feel happy and glad. Thank you! I now feel more comfortable to work with myself to get my own happiness. Again, I do feel a gentle aura from those words, and I can't thank you enough for this. I'll have it in a spot I can reach easily for when I'm feeling doubt.”
