He says to Tsuna, "As expected, you… haven't changed compared to when I first came," looking disapproving, if not disappointed too. /End ID]
i was looking for this line again for reasons, and the way i remembered it, reborn was saying it as a compliment. but he's clearly not here, and it's so interesting he isn't?
for context he says this after tsuna says yet again that he won't become vongola decimo, and it's like. well i won't go deep into this, but from reborn's pov, who was sent to him to train him to become vongola decimo, that he can't see any improvement on that matter despite all they went through and everything that happened, is, of course, a failure on both their parts (which is also interesting in and of itself).
but from tsuna's pov, that he hasn't become any closer to look the part of vongola decimo, to look the part of a mafia don, is, of course, something to be celebrated and for him to pride himself on. especially because of all they went through and everything that happened, during which they were plenty of room to change tsuna into vongola decimo.
idk, just. something something, reborn wants the exact opposite thing tsuna wants, was sent to tsuna with the express purpose of making him change his mind because they knew (or like, were smart enough to assume it anyway) it was the last thing tsuna wanted, and yet they've always been a team all the same, haven't they? have always been on the same side, have always been standing right by the other's side.
and yet their bond is still the closest and strongest in the manga all the same, isn't it?
update: okay never mind, it's THIS line i was actually thinking about, so post cancelled lol

Reborn's still speaking to Tsuna, smiling as he says, "Hey, I said that you've barely changed... since I first came, right? (The word "barely" is in bold and italicized.) And that... is an awesome thing, Tsuna." /End ID]

the coffee shop writing magic is real my friends i haven't written on personal stuff in weeks, and i just sat and banged out nearly 2k in an hour and a half at the starbucks in my local Barnes and Noble. Might turn this into a weekly thing, it was nice to just sit here and write and nurse a hot chocolate.
