Reborn
The tenth boss of the Vongola sits in her chair of her office one day and reflects on her relationship with the Mafia's best hitman.
Slave driver and Slave
When they first meet it is clear that they will not have an easy relationship. He demands things from her and gives her no choice with regard to her destiny. She is routinely humiliated and punished when she fails or does wrong.
Reborn is always the one in control, she never had any choice and knows if she wants to survives she must carry out his orders. Despite all her moaning and complaining she always obeys. He doesn't see her as a person only a task to be completed. She only sees him as the one who has destroyed her normal life. There are almost times when she comes close to hating him for putting her in so much danger.
Teacher and Student
It evolves after the battle with Mukuro Rokudo and his gang. She begins to listen to his advice because she can see the improvement in herself and the changes are good. She now has friends, who she would do anything to protect and rather grumpily admits to herself that she has them thanks to the psycho baby. But she still complains and is reluctant to work.
In his eyes she has stepped up. Shown that there is hope for her to become a good Mafia boss. He starts to see her more as a person than as thing. He had seen the determination and grit in her eyes when she faced down the illusionist and her possessed friends and he could grant her a little respect for it. Not that he would ever show her of course. In his world the weak die quickly.
There is more of an understanding between them, but they still have a long way to go.
Master and Disciple
Their relationship changes quickly after the ring battles with the Varia. She now takes in everything he says and doesn't complain as half as much. She doesn't realise it but she is beginning to accept her fate as Vongola boss. She trusts him. She trusts him to make her stronger and to give her good advise which she can follow. His presence helps calm her in battles and she pushes herself harder and harder. She respects him more than she likes to think about and can't help but admire some of his skills. He still insults her but she bears it knowing he is only trying to motivate her more. He has become one of the rocks in her life. She can count on him for training, advice and at times pain.
She impressed him. When she told Xanxus that she would not allow him to be the next Vongola tenth he could see the woman she will become; a boss worthy of the title and Vongola. Pride wells up as he sees her battle with a man who should have destroyed her easily but can't. He notices her change in attitude towards training, it is not eager more resigned and he knows she is accepting her new life. He knows he has her trust and he can't help but feel like she has given him a great gift. Not many people trust him he is a killer, the best at what he does. Yet she smiles and does what he tells her without question (some groaning maybe) because she believes in him.
It is unnerving to him that he wants to see that smile.
Comrades in arms
The trip to the future nearly breaks her. She can't believe what has happened to the world and for the first time in her life she learns what it means to truly hate someone. Byakuran. So she fights; with her guardians allies and with Reborn. He helps her plan and for the first time they are working together as equals almost. Yes he teaches her still but he also will take her ideas into account in order to save their family. When she learns that he is dead in the future the pain in her chest shocks her and for the first time sees how big a part of her life he has become. For the first time she hears about his past, clearly this Luche woman was important to him and so was Aria. In her eyes he is human a very skilled human certainly but human nonetheless.
She is beginning to see him and it is slightly frightening. No-one is supposed to see him. They are supposed to see the disguises, the façade and the best hitman in the world not him. As he watches her fight against the strongest enemy the family has ever faced it kills him that he cannot help her, that he cannot take leon and kill their opponents. When she defeats Byakuran the pride is there but with something else admiration. As she stands victorious on the battlefield he knows he could follow her when she is the boss.
Friends?
She wants to know more about him. Learn about his past but she is so scared about asking him. What if he shuts her out and goes back to being her tutor. She really shouldn't ask but she wants to learn about him; get to know the man behind the gun.
He is unexpectedly nervous when she finally cracks and asks him. Her opinion matters to him. As he looks into her brown eyes he sees only genuine curiosity. He never speaks of his past, hates to think about his life as a man before he was cursed in the ridiculous child's body. But he does. Only small things, unimportant yet it feels good to share and the large smile she gives him in return seems to wash away any uneasiness in his mind.
He can't think about becoming free not when he knows just how important she is becoming for him.
All Grown Up
The ninth sent him on a mission to Russia for 2 months. She turns 18 when he is away and graduates school. He finds himself anxious to return. When he enters the house she comes down the stairs and he is shocked by the woman he sees before him. After being with her constantly he had not noticed before but now, now he could see the difference very clearly. She had gotten taller, her hair was shiny and a gorgeous brown, her body had matured into a well developed shape but it was her eyes. That got him. Big brown orbs that looked happy to see him and reflected a wisdom. She bends down to his height and says.
"I'm really glad you're back Reborn."
He knows he's in a lot of trouble.
Curse Broken
She is 19 when the curse is broken. She spends her time between Italy and Japan learning about the family she will lead one day soon. Verde finally came up with a cure. It is a ring worn on their fingers that acts as an on and off switch. As the arcobaleno have been infants for so long it was how they were used to fighting. So for battle they return to their infant forms but they could now also become adults.
When she sees him in his adult form the first thing she is struck with is shock unwilling to believe the man in front of her was her tutor. She was a little cautious around him. Then he whacked her over the head and called her Dame-Tsuna. With a laugh she threw her arms around him before she knew what she was doing. They both froze. Then she felt it; attraction. She looked up at his face and saw that he actually was very handsome. There was a whirlwind of emotions in her stomach so she lets go quickly and apologizes. He just watches her with those piercing black eyes.
Man and Woman
That respect and admiration for him changes to something else. She catches herself blushing around him and stumbling over her words. She feels warm and flustered when he turns to stare at her and she can't figure out why. She's never felt like this for anyone (well maybe a strong admiration for Kyoko-chan when she was younger but it was never like this) and it scares her. She tries to push him away so she can sort everything out.
He won't let her though. Now that he has been restored to his adult form he can examine those desires and wants he had pushed down ruthlessly when he had first been changed. He sees her now as a human yes but also as a very beautiful, strong and kind woman. He does know what he is feeling but doesn't know what to do only that he can't let her escape.
Lovers
They are at a formal party held by the ninth to honour her succession as Vongola tenth. She is dressed in a floor length dark blue evening gown and shines. She feels victorious, she has done what everyone including herself had thought impossible. She was the head of the Vongola family. Her guardians mixed with the guests, her father was crying and she got near constant congratulations. Even the Varia where there. But she wants some peace and quiet so she retires to the gardens. Standing under the stars she takes a breath when she hears someone approach. Turning round she relaxes as she sees him.
"I thought I taught you better than to be alone at night with no protection." The deep voice sends a shiver down her spine, but it is not one of fear.
"I needed some air." There is a pause. "I have to hand it to you Reborn. You did it. You turned me into a mafia boss."
He smirks. "Of course I did I'm the best."
She smiles. "Yes so you told me many times." Suddenly he is up close and her breath leaves her in a gasp. Slowly he lifts a hand up to her face. She meets his gaze and is shocked by the depth of emotion swirling in them. To think she once thought him a monster.
She is so beautiful to him. So strong yet so innocent too. He knows she has never had a first kiss and he is pleased that she is still completely pure.
She knows she could stop him with one word. For once she is in control. But she remains silent and he gets closer and closer. The love for him bursts in her chest and she closes her eyes as his lips meet hers. At first is gentle and soft but then a fire burns through her and she moves restlessly against him. His hands, hands which she would trust her life with, grab her arms and hold her to him. She breaks the kiss and simply leans against him as she tries to catch her breath.
"W-We shouldn't do this Reborn. You're my t-teacher." She knows he is smirking when he replies.
"Not so Tsuna, I stopped being your teacher 5 hours ago when you became the family boss." She looks up at him and opens her mouth to argue back but he is already kissing her again.
Husband and Wife
The ceremony is small, only her guardians and family attend. The arcobaleno come and out of the corner of her eye she sees Colonnello give money to Viper grumbling under his breath. Her dress is stunning and everything is perfect for her. But all she cares about is at the end of the ceremony when she finally can kiss her husband.
Of course nobody can know that she is married. Other families are constantly looking for alliances as they believe she is single she uses that to from more permanent alliances. It is for both of their safety. Still when one of her suitors is a little too eager she swears she can hear the click of a gun and the flash of black eyes that sends them scurrying away.
Reborn doesn't share.
