Gokudera prefers it when Yamamoto isn't serious.

Everyone seems to think he's lost his mind, but Yamamoto has never felt so sane.

Tsuna and Xanxus get married. Tsuna and Xanxus get even.

So they've got a little time on their hands to dispose of.

Sometimes it takes a little bit of doing to get Gokudera's attention.

In which Yamamoto and Gokudera attempt to communicate with each other and mostly make a mess of it, but get there eventually.

Give Yamamoto an inch, and he'll try to take a mile. Hibari's not entirely sure he approves of that.

After things get back to normal, Hibari has some explaining to do.

Sometimes Hibari's pride takes precedence over his taste for what is traditional.

A predator belongs only to himself.

There comes a point when a person has to say, "Enough." And Tsuna just reached his.

Gokudera can't bring himself to compromise on some issues, even when he'd really like to. Having a sense of responsibility can be a real nightmare that way.

Some things, no matter how effective, are not to be used as negotiating tactics.

The one in which Tsuna and his friends consciously disperse to the four winds when they reach high school, and somehow, all of Tsuna's classmates manage to fall desperately for him before the end of their first year together. And have to find some way to deal with it, since life doesn't stop just because the most unremarkable guy in their year seemed to become irresistible overnight. The most popular defense in their arsenal? Is the phrase, "Sawada Tsunayoshi? Makes. No. Sense." (Or: All Tachibana Ren had wanted was to make a place for himself, away from Iwatobi and the protective hovering of his family. Nothing could have prepared him or the rest of his class for what getting through high school alongside one Sawada Tsunayoshi would mean for them in the long run.)

In which Yamamoto has cause to go undercover with Bianchi and discovers something about himself.

It took Xanxus two years to bring himself to Japan to visit Hibari instead of waiting for Hibari to come and visit him in Italy. Two years and the realization that he wanted more from their relationship than spontaneous visits that began with destructive fights and ended with them bloodied in bed. Once there, things that have been developing over time finally, finally, come to fruition.

A threat to the Vongola forces the Family to scatter, and pushes Hibari and Gokudera together as they hunt for an enemy that's far more widespread and cunning than anyone gave them credit for.

Tsuna’s first thought when he woke up to a white hospital room and the beeping of machines was “at least I’m not in a coffin this time.” “… What?” Oh. He’d said that out loud. Reborn would’ve shot him if he’d been there.
