I'm a lover, not a fighter

[bakudan_bambino]

🧙 WHO: Gokudera Hayato, Naomi Kimishima, Midoriya, Ochako, Emet-Selch, Tsuna, and close CR (basically anyone who spoke to Gokudera about this)
⚔️️ WHAT: Gokudera's collar-removal procedure!
🕒 WHEN: Early November!
🗺️ WHERE: Dr. Kimishima's Clinic
⚠️ WARNINGS: Language, blood, mentions of decapitation (I'll update if there's anything else going on)



The Day Before

Anyone looking to reach out to Gokudera before his procedure can contact him through his IC inbox or in here to wish him luck or... offer any possible last words for him if they suspect he may need them.

Gokudera's pretty certain he isn't going to die, doesn't want to, and will openly say as much with a smile in order to make himself and anyone he talks to feel better. He will spend the day before the procedure keeping to himself, trying not to alert anyone of any possible upset. He'll seem ruminative and fairly aloof and avoidant when it comes to feelings unless anyone calls him on his bullshit.

For those looking to simply talk to him about this, now would be their best chance. Gokudera has only really informed his boss of everything, and even his best friends aren't contacted. Sorry, but he's trying to keep the worrying for everyone to a minimum.

Maybe he needs to be distracted before the big day! Be the one to distract or offer a kind word! Or... not!


The Day of...

The only people allowed to be in the room of the procedure are Emet-Selch, Dr. Kimishima, Midoriya, Ochako, and Gokudera (obviously). There are people Gokudera would like to see directly after, to announce the successful removal of his collar, or if things turn out badly, would like them to know about his death. In an effort to keep the clinic free of a crowd of close friends, that lobby may only be occupied by Tsuna (or Midoriya as well if he can't get his nerves straight). The preparation for this is probably going to take longer than the procedure itself. This is the time for high nerves and lots of anxious sweating about everything.


The Procedure

Here's the plan:

- Ochako uses kinetic magic to keep the collar in place
- Gokudera uses the Mini potion to shrink himself
- Gokudera falls/shrinks out of the collar's range
- Ochako then uses her magic to move the collar into a lock-box (gotta keep other necks, fingers, wrists or whatever safe from the collar)

There's a lot that COULD go wrong but to anyone who knows Gokudera or what he's been through... this is going to go smooth because it's about time something went well for him.


The Freedom! AKA: Gokudera Independence Day (I'll see myself out)

Gokudera is roughly four inches tall and will stay that way for a few hours. He's FREE! Finally! Consider you get a text message saying the procedure was a success! He'll be celebrating later but hasn't actually planned anything out.

If you didn't get a text from him, you could have gotten a text from anyone involved. Maybe you even got sent a picture of a tiny!Gokudera with no collar around his neck. Blow his phone up with congratulation texts! Show up at the clinic (Naomi may not like that), but hey it's good news! React however you want! Just have fun!


Celebration???

Are we throwing a party? Is there something I forgot? Have a blast and I don't care how your character found out. We have fun here.

...I see.

[ That is so highly unbelievable considering how slender both boys are that it stinks to him of a lie. But...why?

Now isn't the best time to pry for details but he cannot help his curiosity. ]

What manner of wrestling? Can you demonstrate?

[theskyaccepts]

Hieee

[There's a sharp intake of breath as Tsuna tries to figure out if he has a way out of this. Probably not. And truthfully, he doesn't know a lot about sumo if he's being honest. Only that he's very much the wrong body type for it.

Dammit Ryohei! Where did he even come up with such a stupid idea anyway?

Tsuna looks around the room.]

Well, uh, there's not really a lot of room in here to really show off...

hello sorry, new ffxiv expansion dropped

[emet_sulk]

No? It must be quite the vigorous sport then. Does it require throwing your opponent?

[ Now he's almost certain that it's some form of lie given the boy's reactions. But playing along is its own amusement. ]

We could always step outside for a moment. It seems we yet have some time before the process begins.

no worries

[theskyaccepts]

Shoving them, actually. There's a ring, and you have to push your opponent out of the circle. Or get them to go down.

[He at least knows the basics, and he's probably seen it on TV despite not being a serious follower. Have to have some ways of backing up the lie.]

But, uh, I don't want to risk anything for Gokudera-kun

[emet_sulk]

A fair point. The poor boy is quite nervous as it is without me stealing off with his leader right before the big moment.

[ He is not so cruel. Though some would argue otherwise. ]

But I do insist you demonstrate for me sometime. It sounds like quite a curious sport.

[theskyaccepts]

[Tsuna nods, smiling weakly, nervously, trying to hide his relief.]

I...I can try, sure. I'm not as good as some of the others but I can at least demonstrate.

[Sort of.]

[emet_sulk]

'Tis promise then.

[ He nods, satisfied. ]

Well, I shall leave you to it. I'm sure he will appreciate your support more than mine for the nonce.

[theskyaccepts]

[Is Tsuna going to be brushing up on his sumo skills? He might. And every day he curses Ryohei.]

I'll do my best. And thank you, for helping him.

It means a lot. Really.
