[Gokudera is well-versed in trying to appear strong when he absolutely isn’t. So preoccupied with what other people might think of him, find him worthy that he absolutely wants Chrome to know she has the support of family. She can stand on her own. He wants her to. Wants so much for her to embrace her own strengths and weaknesses, and rely on the other Vongola should she ever need to.
It took him a good long time to feel like he could be a part of the family and not just to be the Tenth’s Right-hand. It still means a great deal to him, but… being Tsuna’s friend is more important than growing a family that does not serve the boss’s will, which he believes is to keep them safe, support those he cares about, and grow strong enough to welcome anyone who needs their help until they can help those around them.]
You’re welcome.
[He doesn’t expect her to reach out for help any time soon. Hell, he’d show up just to hype her up! She’s never done anything wrong, according to him. Not her fault Mukuro took advantage of her, if you ask him.]
Hm? Oh he’s fine. Ate all my cigarettes as soon as he found out I wasn’t going to smoke anymore.
[And Gokudera gave his last pack to Hijikata before attending the party.]
