Chapter 31: The Bomber's Back Story
It had been nearly eleven years since Hayato Gokudera met the man he now calls 'Boss.' In that time, a show had been made about his amazing boss, a show that was almost frighteningly close to the truth and who's actors could have been their own younger counterparts. But that was not the worst. Though, even what he found that day couldn't exactly be called the worst. He had seen awful things that far outstripped this in terms of what 'the worst' was, but it was pretty... well, to be perfectly honest, he didn't know what it was. Even if it told him what it was, he wasn't sure what it was. "And all the bosses say I'm pretty fly for a bomber guy!" the video sang. Gokudera was frozen, whether in shock, revulsion, surprise, or fascination he could not say. The video ended and the Storm Guardian did what any semi-sane person would do when they find a video that gives them a 'what the heck?' feeling. He sent it to all his friends.
Tsuna stared at the screen. Hayato sent him a link? And not just him either. All the rest of the Guardians as well as the mechanics. Curious, Tsuna skimmed the message. "I was surfing youtube, looking to get out of a bad mood, and I stumbled across this. I'm... not sure what to make of it, so tell me what you think. I'm reserving judgment." it read. Tsuna shrugged and clicked the link, pausing the video before it started. 'DWB Gokudera's back story?No wonder Hayato sent it to me. Well, better see what it is,' Tsuna thought. Two minutes later, he burst out laughing. Once he had himself mostly under control, he started on his email, still chuckling every now and then.
"If you heard that, I'm sorry. But this seems as eerily fitting as Takeshi's. Whoever did this is a genius. Funny, well timed, and expertly matched. It. Is. Hilarious! Though it is a little disconcerting how the uploader knew all that, as well as how he had footage of you, Hayato. Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned. Just smirk, chuckle faintly(or grin and cackle madly before rushing off to show it to everyone you know. Whichever works for you), and move on with your day," the Don wrote back, still chuckling.
Takeshi blinked at Hayato's message, then shrugged and watched the video. He started chuckling almost immediately. He fell to the floor laughing at the same time Tsuna burst out laughing, though he took longer to quell his mirth. Even so, he was chuckling as he typed his reply to Hayato's email. "THAT. WAS. AWESOME! How did you find this? It fits you so well! And that actor looked just like you. The voice wasn't right, but it was still almost exactly what you went through! Wait... now that I think about it... DUDE THAT'S CREEPY! How did he know all that about you? Is it possible we have a youtuber in the Familia? Aside from that... Just laugh and say it was funny. Eerily correct, but funny." Satisfied with the response, Takeshi sent his email... then played the video again. And again... and again... for roughly an hour and a half before Kyoko came and swatted his head. Apparently she could hear his laughter from the kitchen and was making it hard for her to focus on Tsuna's snack. Takeshi shut up and did his work after that. Tsuna without his snack wasn't exactly someone he wanted to see, much less tell that the reports he wanted weren't done on time. Having thought that, Takeshi's face paled a little and he sped up his work.
Shoichi watched the link, chuckled a little, and frowned a lot. That was Gokudera's back story? Well, in the face of that... it made his loyalty to Tsuna that much more reasonable. With a nod, Shoichi sent his reply. "It's sad when you think that's what you went through, that one of my friends had to go through that, but when you just listen to it, it's really funny. I'll see about finding whoever uploaded this if you want." Nodding, the programming genius minimized the window and started working on one of his multitude of projects. The red head always had something he was working on. Made an excellent escape plan... most of the time. Shoichi had his suspicions that half of the time that exit strategy works is because Tsuna takes pity on him and lets him flee.
As for Mukuro, he found it far too amusing and Hayato questioned the wisdom of sending his the link when the illusionist started humming it whenever he passed the Storm Guardian in the hallway. Chrome laughed softly and told Hayato that it was funny, especially the voice. Hibari was indifferent and Ryohei... was Ryohei. Honestly, how would you expect the over zealous boxer to react? By laughing way too loud, running full speed to Hayato's room, and shouting at him that it was an 'EXTREME VIDEO!' of course. Spanner sent him a bag of popcorn via Mini-Moska and didn't bring it up in casual conversation, or any kind of conversation besides when the whole group started teasing each other. Lambo didn't have an email, but Takeshi showed it to the little cow-child. Hayato wouldn't stop glaring at the swordsman until he had apologized somewhere around a thousand times. Lambo was like a dog with a bone and hounded Hayato about it whenever he was bored.
Tsuna shook his head once all the reports were in. 'Well, at least I don't have to rebuild the mansion. Again,' he thought, signing yet another piece of paper. He sighed and looked out the window, a puzzled expression on his face. Why were there so many videos of him and his friends on youtube? Shouldn't there be more for his enemies... than he had found so far? He found a devious smirk playing across his face as a rather devious idea flitted around his head. Why not search youtube for embarrassing videos about his enemies? If nothing else it would be an amusing distraction from his work. Plan firmly in mind, Tsuna set to reading, considering, signing, and vetoing his mounds of paper with a smirk worthy of Reborn on his face. Oh yes, he was going to have some great passive-aggressive fun that night.
A/N: before you ask... why would Hayato want Reborn to see this? And besides... could anyone really do Reborn's response right? Yeah, not me. Hope you enjoyed this(sorta) long chapter. I can't promise how long the next one will be, but... eh, just trust me.
