G watched his friend, and Boss, cautiously as Giotto gently placed a vial of blood, Cozart's blood, into a specially made black box with the family crest on the lid. His brown eyes, which looked red due to the lighting in the room, flicked from the box that Giotto was closing, to the bandage on his wrist, to the identical vial sitting outside the box.
"Why are you doing all this Giotto?" He asked seriously.
For a moment the first Boss didn't respond, but then looked up at his long time friend with a smile. "As a joke?"
G gave his friend a blank stare. He couldn't be serious; this was supposed to be a joke? Though as G stared he watched Giotto's smile fade from his face, and the man ran his hand over the lid of the box. Finally the red head clicked his tongue, and nodded his head towards the remaining vial.
"And what is that for?" He asked bluntly.
Giotto picked up the vial, and swirled it around a little. G was pretty sure he went a little green, but he listened to his friend's answer. "I felt that it might be needed. Not any time soon, but someday. I won't leave it with the family though at this time only our Sin is important."
The two said nothing else for a moment, before Giotto pocketed the vial, and turned away from his desk to put on his jacket, and then his cape. "Come on G, let's go find Talbot, and then spend some time in town. Once more before we leave." He said turning back to his friend, and this time giving a very sure boyish smile.
G sighed, and rubbed the back of his head before he turned to the door, "Alright Giotto, if that's what you want."
Striding up to his right hand Giotto continued to smile at G, "It is." He said as they left.
A week later a solemn faced Giotto held that black box with the family crest on the lid as he stood before Ricardo. The first generation guardians, save for Daemon Spade, stood at Giotto's back looking equally serious as their boss spoke.
"In this box rests only a small reminder of the sins our family has committed in the pursuit of power. You, as Vongola Secondo, are to guard this box with your life, and remember that it is only because of the loss of others that our power is so great now. When the time comes for you to pass your position as boss to the next generation, you too will tell him what I am telling you, and on it will go until the end of our family comes." Giotto's voice rang out through the entire room, calm and clear for everyone to hear. "Ricardo, can you bear the weight of these sins, and those yet to come?" Giotto held the box out towards his successor.
Just barely Ricardo's eyes narrowed, understanding exactly what the Vongola Primo was not saying outright. Still the man took the box into his hands as well, "I will." He said simply.
With those words Giotto released his hold on the box, "Then may god bless you Vongola Secondo." He said gravely before turning with a sweep of his cape and walking through the part his guardians made for him. Once past them the remaining Guardians of the Primo followed the now former Vongola Boss out of the room.
A/N :: So this is just a short little one shot that I've actually wanted to do for awhile. Obviously it's about Sin, Penalty, and the official transition between Primo and Secendo. After all I highly doubt that Giotto would just up, and leave the family. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this.
