Ten years in the making. Three seconds fragile.

That was the line that cemented it for me. Gokudera needs Tsuna. It's just that simple.

There's only so much words can say and even more that are left unsaid between them. Perhaps that's what makes their relationship (platonic or not) so heart-achingly beautiful.

Thanks for writing this ;D It makes me ridiculously happy. Cheers ;D

Thanks! I've never written this pairing before, so I was incredibly nervous. Looking back on it, there's so much I'd like to change. =/

I really like the idea of, as they grow, Gokudera and Tsuna really coming into sync with what the other is thinking--the whole Right-Hand Man thing and not needing words.

So glad you liked it! ♥

[dame_batsie]

Oh.
My.
God.

My heart. I hope it's still intact.

It's beautiful beyond words. Thank you for reminding me that Tsuna prefers Gokudera as a friend. I had almost forgotten that.

[pollinia]

Eeee, thank you! I was very nervous writing this pairing. I like them as friends--the chapter where they're going to send Gokudera back to Italy breaks my heart. ;_;

[dame_batsie]

I don't remember much about that chapter except the end where Yamamoto goes to Italy with Dino and I became intrigued with D80. XD

[pollinia]

...and now I'm intrigued by D80. *_*

*laments another rare pairing*

[na_no_nai]

u.u You've killed me.

What would it change to do it differently now?
Oh, those what-ifs. Part of me was wondering if he would. I'm glad he didn't, though. All those things left unsaid. *eats it up* ♥

[pollinia]

*flails* Thank you! Oh man, I reworked this one so many times. It gave me fits. =/

I'd like to say I'll work on it more at some point, but I'll probably be too lazy for that to happen. ;)

I'm not sure there's any angst in the series that tops Tsuna's death ;__; (well... unless it happened AGAIN and they weren't able to change it... then that would suck x100000 >_>;; )

[pollinia]

Hush, woman! Don't even suggest such a thing! D:

I can't even imagine how Gokudera handled the death. Not well, I'm sure.

[theburningempty]

ouch. OUCH.

their interactions are just heart breaking. Ah the things that hang about them, unsaid, so tender, so potent ;A; <3

[pollinia]

I'm sorry I made you read 5927! You're such a trooper, bb. ;)

I can't imagine this pairing being anything but heartbreaking.
