Blowing things up.

Basically I feel a little safer about you than Reborn so even if you can't stop him you can keep an eye on him for me.

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

What?! You don't trust Reborn-san?!

[doubleppk]

Not particularly.

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

Why?!

[doubleppk]

...

Safer this way.

He's a mafia hit man. Exactly why should I trust him?

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

So? I was a freelance hit man. What makes me so trustworthy over Reborn-san? He's always kept Tsuna safe and has some kind of important lesson to teach even if his methods seem odd.

I've been an assassin myself. That doesn't mean I'm instantly going to accept any and all other assassins or worse; trust them.

It's not his methodology either.

I don't trust anyone. I don't trust Lambo, Ipin, Gon, Killua, Rosette. I don't really trust Jyabura that much either and I trust him more than anyone else.

Re: Private (ooc: Like hell she's going to say this publicly)

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

I'm not asking you to trust me, but why would you choose me over Reborn-san?

Private (ooc: Like hell she's going to say this publicly)

[doubleppk]

I don't distrust you as much as you think.

And tch. You don't scare me as much. I know you better than I know him. And you remind me of people I don't have to fear quite the same anymore. And you've gone smoking with me so you can't be that bad. And you like explosions. And the little tests I've done you pass, Reborn hasn't. Do I really have to explain further? They're not likely to be reasons you'll understand very well.

You've told me about your past, Reborn never has. If you wanted to lull me into a false sense of security, you'd be trying. Instead you're kind of prickly unless you're in a good mood so that makes me less nervous. Reborn hides what he feels behind a facade of pleasantries. Even though you've... barely sort of hit on me, Reborn does it in the same way he does with everyone else. Which makes me distrust him more. You don't plot in hidden ways, if you dislike them you're open about it. With Reborn he could currently hate me and I wouldn't instantly know.

There's more if you really wish to hear the rest but I'd rather not say it.

Re: Private (ooc: Like hell she's going to say this publicly)

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

Jesus Christ! How is is that we'll be talking in sentences and then you suddenly fucking whip out two paragraphs. I should have put on my reading glasses for this shit.

You mean you think you know me better, right? What does my love for blowing shit up have to do with anything?! I love how you asked me if you should continue and then you did, then assumed I'm stupid.

You distrust Reborn because he hits on you treats you like everyone else?

Private

[doubleppk]

I do it to everyone. What makes you so special?

No. I think you're not AS out to stab me in the back as Reborn likely is and/or could be. I love explosions too. It's straightfoward. Setting things on fire and making things explode isn't behind the back as sniping people in the dark. I asked if I should continue, then did to be clear, I asked again because the rest are personal. If I didn't like you I wouldn't have told you ANY of it. And I never assumed you're stupid. :|

I distrust Reborn for a THOUSAND reasons and he hasn't chipped those away, merely increased them. I have reasons not to distrust you as much as the rest of the world, so I don't. Same goes for the others I do distrust less like Smoker and Jyabura.

On a "knowing you" note, are you just freaking out because you think I'm getting too close?

Re: Private

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

Nothing, I thought I just ought to point out that that response was really huge and fucking irritating to squint at.

What about rigging explosions and traps? Why ask when I can't reply until after your giant fucking paragraphs? You don't need to clarify unless it's unclear. If it is, I'll say so.

I feel so special~

... what.

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

What the hell are you so pissed off about? Jeez. You're acting like Jigen which you do a lot but normally you're like a NICE Jigen. Now you're just acting insane. I say I give you a little trust and you fly off the handle. What the hell did I do to you?

Re: Private

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

Tch. Whatever.

I'm not insane! Maybe you're just picking up on my profanities more... I don't even know who you're talking about.

You didn't do anything to me.

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

Jigen is Lupin's best friend. Also a hit man. Best gunsman in the world. Pretty much hates my guts. Tolerates me for Lupin's sake sometimes. I share smokes with him and he hates me a little less when I bring him cigarettes.

Hn. Just. Relax. I'm not going to do anything to you. I like you. And it's not like I'm trying to make you my pet or something. Which I might have a habit of doing but not this time. I mean it's not like I trust you most out of everyone in the world or anything. Just a lot more than Reborn. Okay?

Re: Private

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

Tch. I'm sure you could be annoying, but I don't hate you. You fuck with my boss though and that might change.

I'm not afraid of you! Tch, you couldn't make me your "pet" even if you tried. I'm not assuming you hold me in really high esteem. Hell, if you did... that's your own business. If you don't, it's not like I can't take it.

The way I see it, the Tenth trusts Reborn-san, so he deserves my trust as well. I think it's the mysteries that surround Reborn that make him such an... interesting character.

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

I am annoying and I'll concede that. But I like Tsuna, why would I mess with him? I think he could be a fantastic kind of mob boss -- the kind I don't hate, especially with your support. I wouldn't hurt him, it'd only be a detriment to me.

... I give up.

Look I don't dislike Reborn. He is interesting. I just don't trust him. Okay? I trust... pretty much no one. It's just safer that way until I can be a LOT more sure.

Re: Private

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

My support has nothing to do with how great of a boss he is! I'm sure he'd be fine without me. I just have to repay him for saving my life.

... fine.

What would it take to make you trust someone?

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

Well first off. I figure he has to be okay or you wouldn't bother supporting him. But yes, I know what you mean. How did he save your life?

I guess just... prove themselves. A lot. ... A LOT A LOT. Jeez. It's kind of... hard. People don't... prove that I can trust them. They prove I can't. I mean... Jyabura... I don't trust him as much as I think I should. I know he won't hurt me because he needs me. And I'm way more useful to him alive and by his side and being his girlfriend. And I do believe he loves me so I can accept that. It... surprises me. A lot. But I believe it. So I guess I'd have to really be able to believe the person gets more out of having me alive than dead. And that they know it and won't mess it up. So that... it's not that they'd have to not have reasons to hurt me? They'd specifically have to have reasons not to hurt me.

Re: Private

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

I tried to kill him He defused all of my dynamite when I was in the middle of attacking and risked his own life to save mine!

Kinda tough on him that you don't trust him as much as you think you should. Those are some pretty high expectations... So then someone would have to want you and be worthy in your eyes?

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

Okay that sort of sounds like what Jigen and Goemon say when they say Lupin saved them.

It's not that they have to be worthy or want me I just... Jeez I don't want to trust anyone! Trust is pretty much the most dangerous weapon there is. People will always try to stab you in the back. Trusting them not to is just stupid. Jyabura's an exception because... I KNOW he deserves better. He doesn't deserve my mistrust but that doesn't mean I can just make it instantly go away. No one HAS to pass my tests or whatever but no one has to try to earn my trust either.

Re: Private

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

THE TENTH WOULD NEVER STAB ME IN THE BACK!!
What tests have you put me through?

Re: Private

[doubleppk]

Lupin wouldn't betray Goemon or Jigen either... They can trust him. With good reason... But I can't. Jeez this is hard to explain.

Hm. Sometimes when we have smokes I just... watch how you react. To little things. Or like when you did the zombie Jesus joke with me! And even though people got mad you handled it really well! And even the thing I messed up between you and Ipin you worked it and explained it eventually even though I was just... not helping things. And you worked stuff out with Yamamoto too. And even things with your sister. You don't really run away from her even though I would have and that takes a lot of guts. I don't know. It's hundreds of things that add up and eventually I forget, I just remember that you passed.

Re: Private and Gokudera doesn't have a good side.

[bakudan-shounen.livejournal.com]

Get back to me on it, then.

You are way too observant for your own good. Define "handling it really well" Fujiko-san... You didn't mess up anything between Ipin and I though... You messed up a bunch between Ipin and Lambo, and then screwed yourself over. What does Yamamoto have to do with anything? You're just trying to get on my good side again, aren't you?

Private ooc: S'ok, neither does Jigen or Goemon when it comes to her <3

[doubleppk]

Because they're his best friends. Lupin is something of an idiot sometimes. His best friend have both already tried to kill him. So he knows they basically... can't. Or they would have already. Or maybe that's smart of him. I don't really know. But me... I wouldn't try to kill him, I'd just do it. But he's still useful so I keep him around and in the end we both betray each other sometimes. So I can't trust him. I already know he'd leave me for another woman and he knows I'd steal his wallet and leave him stranded if he pissed me off enough. If I had to fight against a common enemy like nazis or some of the worst scum of the world, Lupin wouldn't be my first choice of ally but he wouldn't be my last. He's just... I could only trust him on somethings. And some of the important things not at all. If I set up a deal sometimes he'd honor our deal or sometimes something else came along. It's complicated.

You wouldn't believe how often I get told that. Um. Hm. Well even though lots of people didn't find it funny, you did, and you stuck with it. Which is sort of a stubborn quality I like and I like it when people see things through to the end because so many give up halfway. And I didn't mess things up with Lambo that badly... did I? I mean... he seemed to ... get over it... and... what do you mean I screwed myself over? He'll come back eventually... right? And the working stuff out with Yamamoto was part of that stubborn seeing things through to the end thing too.

As for good side... the only times I'm on your good side are by accident. So I don't try because I'd probably screw that up. It's actually another thing I like about you. Because I don't have to worry about trying to make you like me or worry that I have to do something TO make you like me because it won't change anything. It's like Killua. It's more comfortable because I can just do whatever and you'll make up your mind on your own no matter what I try so I don't bother trying. It's easier. It's relaxing.
