AN: So, this is my first time writing in this Fandom. I'm not sure how this will turn out but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping well. On another note completely this is one of ten parts that will be posted, each part will have twenty-seven prompts.
Word Count: 4,576
Summary: They are parts of a broken puzzle, from the same whole but still not together. They will fight, they will flee, and they will feel. All in the name of the demented emotion called love.
Clash and Meld
(Part One)
Romantic- 1x01
Sometimes, sometimes Tsuna thinks that being with Xanxus was the worst mistake he's ever made. But then Xanxus just has to go and prove him wrong.
Transfer- 1x02
When Xanxus heard that the Decimo and his Guardians were being moved to Italy he broke several doors, created numerous holes in the floors and walls of the mansion, and shattered at least a hundred wine glasses. When Lussuria found out about Xanxus' rampage and the impending arrival of the Decimo he swooned and went on about young love.
Plug- 1x03
"…. What happened?"
"…."
"Xanxus, I was gone for two days. How the hell did you manage to blow out the entire mansions piping system in that time?"
"… The damn sink was clogged…."
Rewrite- 1x04
If he could go back in time and change one thing it wouldn't be being frozen by the Ninth nor would it be losing to the Vongola Runt in the battle for the rings. No, if he could go back in time then he'd stop that same Vongola Runt from going to that fateful meeting with the Millefiore trash.
Total- 1x05
A vicious smirk overcame innocent features, "So, what your saying is that you only have a hundred dollars left? Because if that's the case then I might be willing to loan you some money….. For the right price of course."
"…. I'm not playing this stupid game with you anymore, you cheat."
"But Xanxus, you're the one that said that as Mafia men there is no such thing as cheating….. Now, do you want the money or not?"
"...I want the damn money."
"You know the deal, strip." With a calm smile plastered on his face Tsuna watched as the Varia leader slowly removed his clothing. Oh, how he dearly loved game night with Xanxus; especially when the game they played was Monopoly.
Contempt- 1x06
He hates that fucking Runt for many reasons. He hates him because he beat him, he hates him because he disappeared, he hates him because when he sees him his insides squirm, he hates him because he invades his thoughts, he hates him because he lets those trash called his Guardians hang all over him, and he hates him because he loves him.
Limiting- 1x07
Several crashes could be heard in the Vongola mansion, several crashes that all those present accepted as the fact that Xanxus had been told about the new rule; the rule that stated that he wasn't allowed more then three bottles of alcohol a day. Tsuna's express orders.
Rip- 1x08
He thanks the gods for Xanxus on these kinds of days. The days that paperwork swamps him, that he exhausts himself to the point of breaking, and that his hand is practically stuck to his pen. Because Xanxus has no real sense of responsibility and time management, he doesn't understand that the paperwork needs to be done. He doesn't get that he can't just abandon all his work and do whatever he wants; and because Xanxus doesn't and refuses to understand this the Varia leader merely sweeps the papers off his desk and all but kidnaps him for the rest of the day.
Lunatic- 1x09
In a dark room, a dungeon, a prison, a single person sits. He sits and waits, he waits and sits. He's chained there, he's being held in this room. He's a prisoner. But he's not, for he lost the battle. He lost the right to be himself by Mafia law. He serves now; he doesn't and can't do anything for himself anymore. He lives for him, the man that beat him, the man that destroyed his life, the man that killed his friends. The man that he used to hate. But, he can't hate him anymore, because the man is the only one that he sees. He is his whole world, his only light in the darkness that he was forced into. And he can't hate the light, no, to hate the light is to hate life. But wait, life can be hated, can't it? He ponders this; can he hate life, the light, the man? Can he really hate any of these? And he finally decides that no, he can't hate life, he can't hate the light, and he can't hate the man. Because he loves the man, he lives for the light, and his life is for the man. So decrees Mafia law.
Lady- 1x10
There are times that Tsuna would very willingly kill his Guardians. And right now was one of those times, because they had done something unforgivable; something so terrible that he couldn't even begin to fathom offering them his forgiveness, because the traitors had given those pictures to him. The pictures that he had thought had all been destroyed all those months ago. And now, now he was looking at the pictures. Tsuna sighed to himself unhappily, he was going to murder his Guardians, simple. They were traitors anyway, for they had given him, Xanxus, the pictures from last Halloween where Reborn had forced him to wear a dress, with frills, and lace, and, and makeup. "… Xanxus? Can I have those? I'm on a busy schedule, I have to destroy those and then go and murder my Guardians."
"Trash. Come with me."
"Wuh! Xanxus! Let me g- nngh!"
We feel it important to say that Tsuna did not murder his Guardians nor was he or Xanxus seen for the next three days. Although there was a suspicious package that was delivered to the Vongola Mansion that Chrome and Bianchi both swore had the logo to one of their favorite dress shops on it.
Fossil- 1x11
One of Gokudera's biggest arguments –right up there next to 'he tried to kill you'- was their age difference. Tsuna's rebuttal to this argument was to point out the fact that Xanxus had been frozen for eight years, really only making him two years older. Xanxus's was to simply finish his glass of wine, take out one of his guns, and attempt to shoot the bomber into oblivion.
Antidote- 1x12
His rage, his hate, his sorrow was like a poison. It slowly consumed him, swallowing him whole. Devouring him until he was drowned in his own pain. He was slowly losing to this special brand of poison, he was becoming insane; consumed in his own rage, looking at locked doors with utter suspicion, and no longer trusting even Squalo to watch his back for him. He was being swallowed whole by the muck that was his hate, but, a helpful hand reached out to pull him to his feat. A tender smile lit the way out of the darkness that had found itself into his heart. A cure to the poison was found, Tsunayoshi. Love. Caring. Trust. They all healed, patched up the scars, and drove out the sickness.
Function- 1x13
Xanxus hated these damn parties that were held for and by the allies. They were stuffy, crowded, and to many damn people stared at his Tsunayoshi.
Titles- 1x14
Xanxus. The leader of the Varia. A top assassin. Rumored to have his trademarked Flame of Rage where his heart is. The adopted son of the Ninth. A sought after man. Soon to be son in law of Sawada Nana and Iemitsu. A merciless killer. A fool in love. He is all of these things and more, but the one name that matters, the one label that he bears with outstanding pride is 'The Holder of Sawada Tsunayoshi's Heart'.
Desirable- 1x15
Tsunayoshi, an innocent and lets not forget naïve mafia boss. Yes, he has done unmentionable things; he's killed, he's torn families apart, and he's been bathed in the blood of his enemies. But, he is oblivious to the heated looks and perverted grins that follow him at a daily basis. He shrugs all of the attention off as his friends being that, friendly. Some more friendly them others, of course, like Mukuro when he tackle hugged him the other day and they landed in a position that had his Mist Guardian grabbing his ass; a completely platonic accidental action.
In fact, the ignorance of the Vongola Decimo has become legend. Betting pools with over a billion dollars riding on the day that he finally loses his virginity are still going, numerous men and women are vying for his attention, and at least three proposals for marriage are made a week.
But, it's all for naught. Because the Decimo is not nearly as naïve as he has others believe, he's not nearly as innocent as his Guardians thinks he is, and he's not nearly as oblivious as the rumors say. That bet about his virginity? That bet, well, Reborn won it six years ago when Xanxus cornered him in his office. Why do you think that he was limping the next day? Or the day after that? Actually, someone should really inform all those people; Reborn will be wanting his money and everyone else might want to back off before Xanxus finally stops being entertained by the situation and finally starts shooting anyone stupid enough to come on to his Tsunayoshi.
Chemical- 1x16
Blinding pain, to bright of a light, and where the hell did my clothes go. All three of these things are what greet Sawada Tsunayoshi as he wakes from a night spent drinking himself stupid at the eleventh anniversary of his inheritance of the Vongola. A groan slips past chapped lips and a grumpy moan manages to escape as he slowly opens his eyes. Only to hastily close them once more when the suns dazzling rays all but blind him. A wiggle of discomfort that is frozen in it's tracks because what the hell is that thing on my side the thing turns out to be an arm when he gets a closer look. A tan arm, a tan arm with faded scars. An arm connected to a torso, a torso that was equally tan and equally scarred. A torso that led to a face, a face that was just the same amount of tan with just the same amount of scars. A face that had crimson eyes that drowsily glared down at him. "Stop moving trash. It's too early." At the gruff command Tsuna stopped all movement to properly compute the words that were said, the voice that was used, and the face and eyes that starred at him now.
It was hard, he finally figured out the reason why his head hurt so much was because he had a hangover, which explained why it was so challenging to place the words, the voice, and the eyes. But he did eventually, "Xa-Xanxus?"
Assign- 1x17
"Just shut up, Trash. I was told to teach you how things work in my- our- world, and I'm only going to be saying this shit once. So you better be listening."
"Bu-But I- Reborn- Tutor- What?"
"What did I just finish saying Runt? Shut up and damn well listen. I'm going to be your fucking tutor from now on."
"Bu- Reborn!"
Xanxus sneered down at the confused brat in front of him, "The damn Baby is that, a baby. So he can't teach you the things that I'm going to be drilling into you."
"Wai- Drill? Wha- Hieeeee!"
Urgency- 1x18
As soon as the flashes and snippets of memories slow and finally dwindle into nothing Xanxus stands. He barks orders at his underlings; to book him a flight to Japan ASAP, to fucking stop being such wimps, and to go find and destroy the trash known as Byakuran, currently a college student.
When he finally boards the Vongola jet he feels something that he hasn't felt in years; he feels anxious and worried of all things. He feels that for every minute, every second he waste something is slipping away. Something important is being lost. And he fucking hates it, he's Xanxus goddamn it! The only things he feels are rage and hate, hate and rage. But now, now he feels worried, he feels lonely, and he feels afraid. Three feelings that he thought had been caged in a prison of frozen malice.
But it's the feelings of utter pain and suffering and something that he can't identify that spurs him on to Japan and that causes him to hurry to Namimori. The pain is blinding, and it's drenched in crimson and echoed by a guns retort.
And it doesn't fucking leave until he burst into the Sawada brats house, it doesn't diminish until he breaks into the runts room, and it doesn't disappear until he has the Vongola heir in his arms. He holds him and doesn't let go and slowly the pain leaves; the suffering, the worry, the loneliness dissipates; leaving only the unnamed feeling from before, the feeling that he for some reason knows goes with the memory of him and the Sawada Brat sitting on a leather couch cuddled up and sleeping together.
Slave- 1x19
Tsuna has always been emotional, she was prone to laugh one minute and cry the next. Her heart, and therefore, her emotions are what ruled. When her brain was in turmoil it was her heart that found the answer to the question, the solution to the problem, or the response to the action.
"I'm going to fucking kill you! You're never touching me again, you hear me Xanxus? Never!" The scream of the Vongola Decimo bounced off the sterile walls of the hospital room, a delivery room to be precise. A sneer crossed tense features in retort, like hell he was going to believe his fucking wife when she was giving goddamned birth. He'd heard, and witnessed, Squalo's little 'magical' moment and the idiotic trash had shouted those very same things to the fucking Bucking Horse. That was a year ago and his right hand man was pregnant with her second child now, her threat was a load of BS, and Xanxus was sure that his wife's was as well.
"Now, now Tsuna-hime. There's no reason to yell at Xanxus-sama like that." The smiling nurse gently patted the Decimo's head.
"Bitch, back the fuck up and stop touching me; I'll yell whatever I feel like at the bastard!" Tsuna snarled at the nurse who was still patting her head, if the skank didn't stop touching her she was going to get up and rip off her fucking arm, to hell with the fact that she was giving birth right then.
"Girls. Please settle down, and Tsuna-hime, you're doing wonderful." The damn doctor was smiling as well; him and the nurse were both smiling their little gleeful smiles. Fuckers. Being so damn happy when she was in so much goddamned pain.
"Don't you tell me to 'settle down'! And Xanxus, I swear to god when I get up I'm going to castrate you. Then I'm going to rip your fucking eyes out using a spork."
"Che, I'd like to see you try." Xanxus stared down at his wife, as much as he loved it when she got like this –this being aggressive as hell and willing to dish out double any violence shot at her- it really wasn't the time. He would have loved this kind of aggression when she wasn't giving birth and he was able to kidnap her and keep her in their room for a couple days. But she was and he couldn't, damn.
An hour later Tsunayoshi could be found smiling down gently at her son, blinking back tears of joy with sparkling eyes. "Look sweetie, this is your father, his name is Xanxus. And mommy loves him very much." Xanxus silently looked at his newborn child and exhausted wife, a brief glint of gentleness flitting in crimson orbs.
Yes, Tsuna was ruled by her emotions, and, just maybe, Xanxus was as well. Maybe.
Mandate- 1x20
"All of you, shut up! You should all be honored that Juudaime chose you idiots to do this for him! So don't go acting like this is some kind of field trip or something that can be blown off."
"Maa, maa Gokudera. Calm down, we know that this is important, we're just excited to visit them is all."
"Yeah Octopus-Head. This is so EXTREME!"
"Kufufu. I'm not sure I want to help; after all, I want Tsunayoshi's body for myself. Why should I do something that will help a rival?"
"Herbivore. Cease your yelling, it's disturbing the peace and I will bite you to death."
"Lambo-san is against this! Why should we be doing something that will pull Tsuna further away from us?"
"Arggghhh! I don't care what you all want! I don't like this either, but it's for the Tenth, and we will do it. For it is our duty as his Guardians and his Famiglia."
Silence met the heated statement from the Storm Guardian as his peers all looked at him in varying degrees pf respect, disgust, and confusion. They all knew how hard it was for the bomber to do this, hell, it was hard for all of them. They had been given the task to go around and personally invite all the Families in the Alliance to Tsuna's wedding. And all of them were against their Boss getting married to the gun toting brute.
"…. I still don't like it. Why do we have to do this? Shouldn't the idiot or Tsuna inform everyone?" Lambo pouted to himself, it was stupid; Tsuna shouldn't be marrying anyone, he was theirs.
"Stupid Cow! The Tenth can't, damn Xanxus locked them both in their room and Reborn said that he wasn't planning to let Juudaime out until the wedding." Half of those present flinched at the reminder of just who Tsuna was marrying and just how pushy he was.
"Shouldn't Xanxus-san be avoiding Tsuna? I mean, isn't it bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding?"
"Idiot! That's on the wedding day itself!"
Temperature- 1x21
For as long as he can remember he has never been cold, he hasn't even ever gotten chilly. His flame had kept him from ever knowing this discomfort. Even when he had been trapped in ice he had never gotten cold. So, why was it that he was ice cold now? Why was it that the news that Sawada Tsunayoshi was dead had frozen his blood and stopped his heart for a moment? And what was this feeling? It was similar to the feeling that he had felt right before the rage when he had first found out that the Ninth wasn't really his father, it was like someone had torn out his heart and crushed it.
Inventory- 1x22
Tsuna couldn't help but wonder how he had gotten into this situation. All he had been doing was minding his own business, walking down the street, talking with his friends, that sort of thing; when all of a sudden a guy, a big guy, a big guy with a glare that could stripe flesh from bone grabbed him and ran off –with him in tow-. Now, now here he was in a closet; at least what he thinks is a closet. With the same guy that had by all rights just kidnapped him. With what suspiciously sounded like guns going off outside of their hiding spot. "Wha-"
"Shut the hell up." Dangerous crimson eyes glared down at him, he glared back. He wasn't the same Dame-Tsuna of High School, he'd grown up and with growing up he'd grown a backbone. Seeing his glare the other man's own only intensified, and then glaring contest began. He blinked, and damn it all, lost their contest of wills.
"What's goin-"
"I said shut the hell up." The glare was back, with its friend the derisive sneer. Tsuna gawked at the man. What right did this, this, brute have to tell him to shut up? He was the one that had bloody well kidnapped him! He had lost all rights to make demands. Tsuna continued to gawk in silence, which the man apparently took as submission because he –the stupid brute- looked away from him –the one who was kidnapped- and started to mumble to himself. "…..Damn liar…. Reborn… Said… Weak….. Wouldn't put up a fight.."
At those words Tsuna froze.. Reborn… Reborn? As in his past tutor? The Spartan Baby that all but made his life a living hell from Middle to High School? "How do you know Reb- mmrf!"
"I told you to shut up." Tsuna openly stared at the foreigner in front of him that had just, just, kissed him.
"Wuh-" Silence. The Brute had kissed him again! "Wai-" Cut off once more. "Huh-" And again. "Damn it all! Stop that! Now, how do you know Reborn?"
"Che, I don't answer to Trash." Tsuna stared at the Brute once more. Then he blinked. Then he closed his eyes, open, nope the Brute was still there, it wasn't a dream. Breathe in, breathe out. Panic.
"You're the one who goddamned kidnapped me and I want some bloody answers!"
The other man stared at him in surprise, for once in their short time together, without his glare. Then he blinked and the glare was back, but, with a bit of a different glint in crimson eyes. Was that respect? "Humph. I'm Xanxus. Your fiancé. Now shut up."
Recreational- 1x23
~The damn brat is just a hobby, I don't need him. Now get out of my fucking face trash.~
~What? Hi-Hieeee! What do you mean by that?~
~I don't fucking care if I spend more than half the day and my nights with him, he's still a hobby. Now get the hell out of my face before I sic Bester on you.~
~O-oh… Yeah, um, I love him.~
~Do you have a problem with your damn hearing bitch? No? Then get the fuck away! And no I don't lov- Wait! What the hell?~
~Wait! You can't tell him though! Or Reborn! Or my Guardians!~
~Do I love the brat? What business of it is yours? Is that a no?... Why the hell do you care? No that was not a yes! Just get the hell away from me!~
Reborn smirked as he read, typical Dame-Tsuna. The smirk only grew larger as he thought; Baka-Tsuna needs to learn how to talk to the press, so does Xanxus for that matter.
Gradual- 1x24
It is a slow process, almost achingly slow; because if they move forward to fast, if they take to big of a step then they end up back where they started. Neither of them knows what to do and that just slows them down even more, their inexperience frustrates and annoys. Because Tsuna is wary, he is afraid, and he doesn't know if they can work. And Xanxus is angry, he is scared, because he has always rushed forward and taken what he wants despite what others say. But this, this is something that he has to take slow, he has to wait and he has to defer to someone else for once. And it pains them both. They dance around each other; never coming to close, afraid to be burned, but, never going far in fear of losing something precious.
But, this is love and eventually they will come to understand this. That love cannot be rushed and that it goes at it's own pace.
Infiltrator- 1x25
"Shhh! Do you want to get caught? No? Then be quiet!"
"G-Gomen! Bu-but is this really alright? I mean, we are spying on Tsuna-sama."
"Fuck! Why the hell did I get stuck with you? Out of everyone in the damned Mafia I had to be paired up with the one idiot who has morals."
"T-that's not true! Tsuna-sama has morals as well! He's a good person!"
"Che. Moron, you really think the Tenth has morals? He's the damn Vongola Decimo. He has more blood on his hands then all of his Guardians combined! And you have heard the stories about them, right?"
"I-I've heard the rumors…. But I refuse to believe that Lambo-san and the others have done such things!"
"What? You refuse to believe that the Guardians wiped out a whole Family just because the Tenth told them to? Or that Smokin' Bomb blew up an entire city, citizens included, to protect the Vongola name? Or, or that the Lightening Brat caused thousands of boats to malfunction from an overdose of electricity leaving millions of people stranded in the ocean? What's so damn hard to believe? Or that the Mist Guardian all but rap- The hell! Where'd the Tenth go?"
"T-Tsuna-sama? On no, we lost Tsuna-sama!"
"Losing the Tenth? Is that all you can say? What about the fact that we didn't complete the mission and that Xanxus is going to kill us? We were supposed to find out what the Decimo wanted for his birthday! When we get back to Base you are the one who is going to explain to Xanxus why we can't tell him what his lover wants for his damned birthday!"
"F-fine! I already thought that Xanxus-sama should pick out Tsuna-sama's present himself!"
"What was that Trash?"
"X-Xanxus-sama!"
"Voiii! Boss! Let's go, we're going to be late for the Baby's party! You can ask the damn Brat what he wants while we're there!"
Clarity- 1x26
Because even with their Vongola Intuition they have trouble seeing themselves correctly; weak, useless, hopeless and trash, scum, unneeded. So, they have each other. To force the other to behold and embrace the truth; strong, steadfast, committed and wanted, treasured, important. They were flawed, they could not see. Even with perfect sight the truth escaped. But, that's why they had each other. Desired, adored, loved.
Newlywed- 1x27
"Shhh! The Prince can't hear!"
"Voiiii! You're the only talking dammit!"
"Idiots. Shut up, I can't hear the Juudaime."
"Maa, maa Gokudera calm down. I'm sure you'll be able to hear Tsuna soon enough."
"Why are you Herbivores crowding here?"
"Ahh! Hibari-san! Do you want to join as well? That's EXTREME!"
"Shut up Octopus-Head I can't hea-"
"Ah. Xa-Xanxus."
"Shut up Trash, take it like a man."
Silence.
"Kufufu. It seems that the Brute likes it rough, that doesn't surprise me. It'll just make it easier for me to steal away Tsunayoshi when the time comes."
"Wuh? Mukuro! When did you get here! And what do you mean by stealing Juudaime away?"
"Well, you see. Tsunayoshi is a very delicate creature and so must be held and taken gent-"
*Crash* "What the hell are you doing here Scum? Scram you idiots." Guardians and Varia alike stared at the half naked Xanxus in terror, "Didn't you hear me? I said beat it!" Guardians and Varia both blinked rapidly having been broken out of the trance they were in only to all disappear to the best of their abilities. After all, none of them were bold enough to keep spying on the Decimo and Varia leader's honeymoon night after being caught.

AN: So, there's the first part, tell me what you think, please. Because all reviews are appreciated and considered helpful. Also, feel free to suggest Prompts.
