I've been here for over a year

[He probably didn't mean to send this. That's why it's so short. Just one of those musing thoughts that might have been more but wasn't at the time. And you think you pressed delete but you hit send instead.

And maybe the realization has made him just a bit homesick.]

The whole time thing and timeline kind of goes over my head.

[It's not quite the time travel he's used to, and even then, the time travel he's used to can still be confusing.]

But you still know them and everything? That's a little weird. But not really a bad thing I think?

[laserguy]

you get used to it after a while.

nah, it's not bad. i think a part of me was disappointed at first, but i'm just glad they're around now. like kurt's still my friend despite different circumstances and everything.

[theskyaccepts]

I hope so

[But not really.]

Some things don't really change no matter what the timeline, huh?

[laserguy]

yeah... pretty much.

like i don't think there is a timeline where i don't have lasers coming out of my eyes. it's probably the same thing for you.

and your friends are probably still your friends.

[theskyaccepts]

I hope so. It's nice thinking that there's some way that we're always brought together, one way or another.

[That that wouldn't happen is just bleak, if he's being honest. But there's probably few timelines where he manages to not become the Vongola boss.]

Are you...okay with always having lasers?

[laserguy]

[Based on all the other Scotts that he glitched into, he doesn't think there is a version of him that doesn't have his powers. Maybe in one timeline, but...]

yeah, sure. it's pretty much a part of me, you know?

[Even if some days really suck, just being reminded that he can't see things in color anymore. Always needing to wear glasses, but does he want to be fully 'normal' again? Probably not.]

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, I get it.

It's not quite the same, but it would be weird not being aware of my flames anymore.

[laserguy]

speaking of which.

sorry if i asked this before, tsuna, but how did you get your flames again?

[theskyaccepts]

[Oh no how does he explain this one?]

My tutor.

It took a little while at first. I...I'd kinda have to die first? It's kind of hard to explain, but they're initially fuelled by regrets.

So my tutor would shoot me with a magic bullet and I'd be able to come back and act on my dying will.

And from there I learned to control them.

He's kind of hardcore.

[laserguy]

[.......bruh.

why does it always come to dying with his friends???]

he killed you multiple times so that you can use your powers?

dude that's fucked up.

[theskyaccepts]

Tell me about it.

But it's not like I die all the way...just, to the brink of death. And then the regrets bring you back.

But that doesn't have to happen anymore. I can access them on my own.

Still crazy though. Reborn's....a lot.

[laserguy]

['Just to the brink of death.'

Yeah these are his friends alright.]

you mean he's a crazy asshole.

but guess it's good you have control of your powers and everything. that's not something to take for granted.

[theskyaccepts]

[A crazy asshole who believed in Tsuna from the start, but also, allegations that Tsuna will not deny. Strange is the bond between mentor and student.]

Yeah.

I'm grateful for a lot of the things he's helped me with, powers included. But there's a lot of ways I wish it had all been done differently.

But he'll always do things his own way.

[laserguy]

maybe it's something to try and fix in the future? so that others don't have to go through the same thing.

he'll just have to deal, especially if you're the boss.

[theskyaccepts]

I mean, I can definitely try. But my big brother Dino went through the same thing with Reborn so I don't know if I can get him to change his ways. Being the Boss seems to stop with him.

Oh, Dino's not actually my brother, but he was Reborn's student before me so it's kinda like that.

[laserguy]

just be stern man. if you're the leader, you get to put your foot down on crap you don't like.

[theskyaccepts]

[Can Tsuna even do stern?]

I'll try next time. Promise.

[Reborn probably owes him one anyway.]
