Wow, this was amazing. There was hardly any dialogue and I could see all the body language in my head. It was like reading a movie play out, but better. And that last line, it's so somber. Breaks my heart that Tsuna resigned himself to it, even if it's necessary.

The best thing about this story? It's 1827 of the canon kind.
Kudos for your lovely writing style.]

very canon, very real, on their thinking parts.

you explained Hibari perfectly. not really 1827, but i can imagine this being as the real anime.

Poor Tsuna. This is really dark but has a lot of hidden meaning under it.[

you have such a way of writing! It's very awesome, very interesting if I may say so. And, the best part, there was no OOC! It's so true, we all know that Hibari would never want love, no matter how much we want to imagine him with Tsuna! :D

GREAT JOB!

This is exactly how I could see them being in the future. Perfectly in character, I admire you for making 'love' a lesser role here, it just doesn't ever go well with Hibari.

Well done.)

-aaw- It wasn't really hibatsuna but I still found it sweet. I can actually see this as how their relationship would be in the manga. (if Hibari's character song is any indication, he does consider emotions as a weakness) And having Hibari's respect is already a feat by itself. -grins-

ouch...

but true. love it!

(;.

interesting. that was enjoyable

You know what? I think I love you. The way Tsuna loves Hibari.
This story was beautifully, beautifully written. I especially liked how you set the story during a tea ceremony and how it seemed to fit so well with the manga and what is revealed about Hibari's character. And, this scene seems very... I don't want to say that it is exactly what happened, since she might go and detail what she thinks of it to us, but the way you write it seems very logical and probable.

Thank you for writing this!

Compliments on how in character they are D

Great job

"a mafia boss needs respect far more than love" So sad T_T And he is dead without knowing he was loved or not. *cry, shout, scream
I really like your work. Well written and IC. Thank you! T_T

Wow... Tsuna has grown quite mature (heart) I totally love these two!

I ship 1827, so I'm hoping that the attraction lies there later for Hibari with little Tsuna...and vice versa which will cause young Tsuna to out his crush on young Hibari...

complicated huh? lol.
