Standing back to back, standing toe to toe, and standing face to face. That's the type of relationship they had, or at least Reborn was convinced of it. When they had to work together, they did so back to back. It was easier that way. It was easier for Reborn not to be so agitated by how Verde did things, and it kept Verde from showing his smug face to the hitman. Sometimes that was the only way they could work together. Luce had given up long ago trying to make they look at each other.
It was comfortable. It was easy. They didn't have time to be polite anyway. There was too much at stake if they were to sit down and compromise. Someone would take a loss of pride, and both men were to proud to do it.
"They'll never get along, it's just the way things are." Lal casually remarked to Fon as they watched outside the cabin as the men sat side by side, smoking cigarettes and challenging the other. Who would get up and walk away first this time? That day however, it seemed that Verde would lose. He couldn't chain smoke, and had much more to get back to than Reborn did.
"That power is wasted on you."
The power was something that Verde could never understand and never carry himself. Of that Reborn was certain. The burden sometimes was almost to heavy for him. But, neither man wanted to hear excuses. It was easier to go on silently, and let the other think what he wanted to. It wouldn't make him lose sleep at night after all.
Standing toe to toe was easier for the arcobaleno. Black versus green. Morality versus science and pushing the understanding and human limits. This is how they preferred it. While nothing was ever black and white, it was these times that Reborn could go after Verde, and Verde would use the salt to get a rise from the hitman.
"This is always how it's been, and always how it will be." Mammon spoke to himself as he casually counted the money Verde had given him to help with his experiment. It was more money then he had ever seen from Reborn in the long time that they had known each other. Leaving the two, panting, angry, and pushing against each other for dominance was nothing new. But, he wouldn't have cried had one killed the other.
"You could use that brain for better things than this."
Panting, the hitman leaned against the wall next to the other. Verde didn't say anything, because again, they didn't want to hear excuses. Sometimes you have to lose your morality to gain something greater in return. Neither one was an angel, but science was an insatiable master that consumed the soul. That was something that Reborn, even for how smart he claimed to be, would never understand.
It had been years since they had last stood face to face. In fact, after their first meeting with the other Arcobaleno, everything had gone down hill from the introductions. So, after everything was said and done and the curse was broken, Reborn turned and faced him. Verde looked down, and nodded. Instead of fighting, or turning things into a show of dominance, there was a nod of recognition. Nothing more, nothing less. Uni just smiled as she watched those around her stare in disbelief. Things were over, there was no reason to stay around each other now.
"See you later mister hitman."
"Hopefully not for a long time."
As the years passed by, and the tenth took over the Vongola, Reborn would take a vacation and go back to the cabin where he had stayed with everyone. It wasn't because he was sentimental or because he missed 'the good old days'. Stepping through the door to go over to the balcony where he had sat with Luce, he noticed another figure. The same head of dark green hair, and tall figure greeted him yet again. Even with all their misunderstandings even they could appreciate the company of the other in silence.
It was easier now to stand side by side.
