spider: *comes into my room* me: I understand. You found paradise in America. You had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Don Corleone, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me "Godfather." You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do murder - for money.
aries: have you ever gotten in a fist fight? If so when was the last time? taurus: what's your favorite type of food? (Like Italian, Indian, w/e) gemini: whos last person you got a text from? cancer: favorite movie? leo: whos the last person you said I love you to? virgo: favorite actor? libra: favorite animal? scorpio: who is your favorite band/singer atm? sagittarius: whos the last person you texted? capricorn: first favorite band/singer you can remember? aquarius: favorite comedian? pisces: favorite videogame?
Okay, so many are talking about the relationship between Guren and Yuuichirou (which is quite enjoyable, indeed!), but let’s not forget about Guren and Shinya.
Guren sees Shinya as a Hiiragi, but this is a thought the latter keeps trying to dismiss. He came for Guren in the
Nagoya Arc
of his own accord, as a friend, and always backs him up during meetings.
Despite Guren’s cold attitude, Shinya doesn’t blame him; he understands. As someone who was adopted into the Hiiragi family, he probably knows how harsh they treat those of lower status.
Guren cares about his friends – he truly does – however, he also has a habit of keeping secrets and distancing himself from everyone. Shinya uses Guren’s own values to remind him of this.
Not only does Shinya seem to know Guren well – he cares too.
Shinya tends to show compassion in a joking manner,
but in the end, he just wants Guren to know that he’ll be there for him.
I’m not making this post as a shipper. What I’m trying to say is that I really appreciate the friendship between these two. The way Shinya always tries to support and reach out to Guren (not as a Hiiragi or someone of higher rank, but as a friend) is wonderful.
Someone who teases him
but at times, also plays along
Someone who can laugh at his jokes while they’re facing death
After everything Guren has gone through and is currently going through, he truly needs someone like that.
