Skull doesn't interfere directly in the events that shape Vongola. He watches it all from the background though. He follows behind the Tenth Generation of his friend's family, and he grins to himself as he watches the little ball of fluff that is Tsunayoshi Sawada grow fangs and claws.

He would have done well in Atlantis.

Skull sort of wishes he could show his home to this family.

They would have thrived there, Skull knows. They would have appreciated all that it was. They would have looked and seen something glorious.

He mourns that this family would never see Atlantis at its peak. He mourns that Skull alone will be the only person to ever know what that was like.

(In the back if his mind, Skull thinks Tsuna would have made a good King.)

Does anyone feel like drawling me a cover image for this of Skull in Atlantian Armor because I will love you forever?

(And will totally offer a oneshot as bribes to whoever ends up getting chosen as the cover image)
