Summary: It seems that Tsunayoshi Sawada will always be known as "No Good Tsuna" be it in one universe or another. Or, perhaps, he just needs to find his opposite? (27 x OC; may be taken as romantic or familial)
Resonate
~ So let's join hands. ~
Tsuna fell to the hard floor with a rough shove and flinched as shadows casted over him.
He trembled and shook from his frozen position on the floor.
Blood seemed to have drained from his face as cold sweat perspired.
To the whispering bystanders, it was no surprise that he was finally cornered by his tormentors.
After all, it was a common occurrence whenever he did attend class, which was few and far in between.
Now, one may ask - just how many times had this happened already?
And so, he would answer - he'd lost count.
"BA~KA!" Came the taunting buzz from the chainsaw while bouncing, "DON'T RUN OFF!"
"It took us forever to catch up, y'know?" The wielder droned, unperturbed by her animated weapon, "You can be so cruel, No Good Tsuna."
Brown eyes dulled in pain at the familiar derogatory term spat at him.
Their weapons raised in the air as their malicious intent became even more suffocating.
Teary light-brown eyes shut tightly as Tsuna tensed and braced himself.
The air flickered with motion.
A sickening crack sounded loudly.
Silence followed tensely.
And yet, he was not in pain.
Hesitantly peeking out, the boy silently gasped as his eyes widened.
Blood trickled down the face of his protector, staining her headband and vest.
The only weapon to have made contact - a wooden sword - faltered and glowed before transforming into a human as all gaped in shock at the scene.
Slowly, the bullies backed away as the girl raised her head, revealing the blood that poured over her closed left eye.
Her right eye blinked slowly before staring blankly.
"SHIT!" One cried in fearful alarm, "IT'S CYANN!"
"That's enough, Mochida-kun!" The weapon-turned-human spoke rapidly, tugging on her wielder's shirt, "We have to go! NOW!"
"Y-Yeah…" The boy stuttered, still in shock at hitting a girl, as he was dragged off.
A unanimous agreement soon went around before everyone high-tailed it.
Silence passed over the remaining duo as the boy tried to take in what had just happened.
'I…' He thought to himself, '… I was saved…?'
Slowly, the girl turned to face him.
Despite her wound, Cyann appeared unaffected.
Suddenly, her headband slipped over her eyes.
She raised a hand to push the article up and paused.
Her fingers felt the sticky substance before -
[… Ow…]
- she pulled out a portable blackboard?
A moment of silence passed as his eyes trailed over the white writing.
'Eh…?' He thought as he stared, eyes flickering from the object to her impassive expression, 'What is this…?'
His aura dampened as his head bowed.
A moment of silence passed before-
"WHAT THE HECK?"
-he shouted in complete and utter bafflement.
Suddenly clutching his head, Tsuna continued to panicked, "WHY ARE YOU HOLDING THAT? WHERE DID IT EVEN COME FROM? YOU'RE NOT HOLDING A BAG AND IT CAN'T POSSIBLY FIT IN YOUR POCKETS! AND-"
The girl tilted her head to the side as the boy continued to shout before tilting downwards to the blackboard in her left hand.
She rubbed the writing away with her right forearm before raising the white chalk.
Her hand blurred as writing appeared before she raised it to show the other.
He paused and blinked before reading aloud, "Hammer… -space…?"
[Hammer-space, also known as magical satchel, is an unknown pocket of space from which one can pull out various objects regardless of size.]
"Ah!" A lightbulb went on as Tsuna bopped a hand onto his palm, "I see now."
Another silence passed between them before -
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"
- the boy panicked once more and ruffled his soft spikes, "SHOULDN'T YOU BE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR WOUND?"
He then paused in realization, "Your wound…?"
The girl rubbed under her drenched headband at her left eye as blood continued to flow down.
"CRAP!" Tsuna snapped out of his daze and fumbled with his pockets, trying to find his handkerchief, while berating himself silently, 'HOW COULD I FORGET SHE'S BLEEDING?'
'W-What should I do?' He continued panicking inwardly before squeaking when his protector slumped to the floor, looking vaguely pale from blood loss.
Finally finding it, he tended to the injured one while stuttering, "A-Are you okay?"
'WHAT THE HELL AM I ASKING?' Came his hidden thoughts as he mentally bashed himself, 'OF COURSE SHE'S NOT!'
Her unbloodied eye blinked when the darkness lifted and upon feeling the fabric dab at her head injury before she nodded silently.
'Liar.' Tsuna thought to himself, suddenly subdued, as he pursed his lips together, 'How can you be okay if you're bleeding?'
But he didn't voice his question aloud.
Instead, he whimpered, "You didn't have to do that."
She blinked again before writing her answer.
[I know.]
"Then, why?" He started, faltering in his care, "I'm no good anyway…"
She watched him carefully for a moment before responding.
[I wouldn't have gone after you if I thought you were "no good".]
His eyes widened and his hand froze.
Wavering eyes met with firm ones.
His breath was taken away by the pure emotions conveyed.
Then, she blinked.
Looking away, the girl rummaged through her vest pockets.
Heart pounding rapidly, Tsuna couldn't help but blush and think, 'That's the first time anyone said that to me…'
His thought was cut short as his eyes landed on a familiar object.
"My wallet!" He cried, dropping the handkerchief on the girl's lap in favor of the bright-colored carrier.
His fingers brushed against the familiar stitchings of the lion cub as relief filled his system. His eyes softened as the image of his smiling mother flashed across his mind's eye. He held the object close to his heart.
"Thank goodness…" He murmured softly.
Meanwhile, the girl had wiped away most of her blood only to sigh inaudibly when more trickled down. She pressed the fabric against her cut and applied pressure before looking up. Her gaze landed on the boy's reminiscing expression.
Her eyes blinked slowly before her cheeks colored lightly.
It quickly passed, however, as she retained her impassioned gaze.
He soon caught onto the blank stare and snapped out of it before bowing and flushing red.
"A-Ano-!" He started as his blush darkened upon briefly wondering why she was staring so intensely, "Thank you for returning this to me."
He clutched his wallet tightly, feeling warmth spread through him, "And for saving me."
She tilted her head slightly before getting up just as the bell sounded.
Her blackboard flashed briefly before disappearing.
[Class is about to start.]
Tsuna fell over at the shift in topic before scrambling to his feet, shouting in disbelief, "Shouldn't you be more worried about your wound?"
She simply shrugged and walked away.
A frown graced his lips before Tsuna ran after her.
His hand reached out.
