i hate to say this but sadly i stopped following hraap a while back after petering out of khr…. i just checked the blog to see what this was about and wow. what happened there. seems like she changed her handle and then some bot?? snatched up the old one?? my best guess.

tsuna, with his uncanny vongola intuition upon being able to read ‘you came to save me, didn’t you’ on his arm: this is Definitely someone trying to trick me. i’m a loser i don’t save anyone. my soulmate is an awful person.

tsuna as he goes through daily life arc actually doing productive things: hm… maybe i Can save someone. yeah! i’ll save someone. i’ll save kyouko. my soulmate is kyouko because i’m going to save her. (conveniently ignoring he’s already had his first words with kyouko)

When Tsuna was five, his words manifested, sprawling across his right upper arm to his middle finger. His mother had cooed at him, called it romantic, that he was going to be a big and strong manly man just like his father.

–

When Tsuna grew old enough to understand the meaning behind soulmate words, he was seven and he knew that his soulmate was just a liar who lies. After all, he was Dame-Tsuna. How could he ever save anyone?

–

When Tsuna was fourteen and mildly suffering under the tender loving care of Reborn, he started to think back on his soulmark. Perhaps, just maybe, his soulmate could be someone nice. Someone he genuinely came to save, because he was different now, wasn’t he? He has the capability to save someone! Maybe he could even save Kyouko and she’ll say that exact same phrase!

–

“You came to save me, didn’t you?”

‘Or maybe,’ Tsuna thought dully to himself as a boy with indigo hair walked towards him in an *abandoned amusement park*. 'Maybe, my soulmate is a fucking liar who lies.’

The boy opened his mouth, about to say something else, but Tsuna’s own mouth was already working without his knowledge, robotically opening to ask the boy,

“Are you a hostage too?”

An excruciating silence descended upon the pair as they stared at each other. Tsuna could see the boy’s hand make an aborted movement to the area of his left shoulder where Tsuna *knew* held the very words that Tsuna has said to him.

And the look in the boy’s eyes changed and Tsuna didn’t know what was coming next but it definitely couldn’t be good. Not with a soulmate who was a lying liar who lies.

So Tsuna rushed forth and decked him right in the face.

/“Are you a hostage too?”/

When Mukuro was five, his words manifested on his left collarbone. They were a string of Japanese words that Mukuro didn’t quite understand at that time. And didn’t think he needed to.

–

When Mukuro was old enough, and knew Japanese enough, to understand the words, he couldn’t help but think that his soulmate was a gullible fool. He wasn’t bothered by that, though, as it had made it much easier for Mukuro to kill him.

–

“You came to save me, didn’t you?” Mukuro asked the Vongola Decimo. The boy was a fool, a completely gullible fool who would never see past his disguise.

Or so he thought.

The Vongola Decimo paused, staring at Mukuro with wide eyes that were filled with suspicion. Perhaps the boy had caught onto his plan? If that was the case, Mukuro couldn’t help but commend him. The Vongola Decimo wasn’t as useless as he thought.

But Mukuro still had to allay that suspicion. He couldn’t have the Vongola Decimo figure out his plan just yet.

And then the Vongola Decimo said, “Are you a hostage too?”

Mukuro soulmark burnt, and he couldnt help but laugh inwardly. He was right, after all. His soulmate and the Vongola Decimo, both one and the same, were thrice-damed gullible fools.

Oh well, at least when he took over the Vongola Decimo, he would be killing his soulmate as well. Two birds with one stone.

So Mukuro was about to smile, to act as the relieved boy who was about to be rescued by his soulmate, when the Vongola Decimo rushed forward and–

tsuna, with his uncanny vongola intuition upon being able to read ‘you came to save me, didn’t you’ on his arm: this is Definitely someone trying to trick me. i’m a loser i don’t save anyone. my soulmate is an awful person.

tsuna as he goes through daily life arc actually doing productive things: hm… maybe i Can save someone. yeah! i’ll save someone. i’ll save kyouko. my soulmate is kyouko because i’m going to save her. (conveniently ignoring he’s already had his first words with kyouko)
