Okay. I have various chapters in states of 'almost done'. It's the almost that's getting me, so in order to try and fix it, I've decided to do a one-shot/drabble collection where instead of words I would use quotes. So hit me with your best quotes. Ones on life, love, hate, the world…ones that make you laugh. Whatever.

Most people run away from monsters. I'm one of the few idiots that would run towards them armed only with a fork. – Anonymous

Tsunayoshi Sawada has no idea how it happened.

In fact, he distinctly remembers thinking it would never happen to him.

He can remember the days before it all, can remember what it was like before him.

He remembers thinking Reborn was absolutely the most insane person he had ever met.

It takes Tsunayoshi years to realize Reborn has corrupted him. It was such a gradual thing, like a slow acting poison, that Tsuna honestly had no idea when insane became normal. When he realized Reborn had given Tsuna some of his habits and thoughts.

It takes years, and the reaction of a café full of civilians, for Tsunayoshi to realize he has become enough like Reborn that he is now considered the 'insane, logic defying, chaos-bringer' when among people that are not part of the Mafia.

It all started with the fork.

He had only stepped into the café for a minute. He only planned on grabbing a slice of cake before leaving. It shouldn't have taken more than five minutes at the most. Tsuna hadn't had his gloves or pills on his person, choosing to leave them inside the car.

He barely made it through half of the cake slice before the café was attacked.

In an ironic twist, they actually hadn't been after him. It was just a run of the mill robbery.

His cake had been ruined though.

All Tsuna could think had been "Oh-ho-ho. You picked the wrong place today."

He hadn't had any weapons on hand. So Tsuna had made due.

He picked up his fork.

"Gentlemen."

The robbers went still at the sound of silken danger (another thing Reborn had taught him indirectly) turning to see Tsuna idly spinning the fork through his fingers, his eyes narrowed and angry. (Really, Tsuna didn't really get a break from the damn paperwork often. How dare they interrupt him now?)

They didn't take Tsuna seriously when he told them to leave. No the three men chose to turn to him and taunt and sneer at him, chose to wave the guns around like they knew how to use them.

Tsuna nodded slowly, as if making sense of something confusing before he stood up. "Very well. You leave me no choice."

Tsuna picked up the fork and knife on his table, and flicked them, spinning to take the fork from the table across from him to flick that before he picked up the three spoons and flicked those. It took half a second. No one saw him move. What they did see, was two forks and a knife knock the guns out of the three men's hands before the spoons sliced into their cheeks. When they turned to look, the three spoons were sunk halfway into the wall behind them.

They went very, very still.

"Get out, and don't come back."

They left.

It was only afterwards, when Tsunayoshi turned to see the others inside of the café, saw how they stared, how mouths dropped and fingers pointed, how some mouthed things along the lines of 'he's insane' or 'how could he…?' that Tsunayoshi suffered a case of déjà vu followed by the realization that 'they're looking at me like I used to look at Reborn.'

It was only then that Tsuna noticed how much of an influence Reborn hand on him.

He was quietly horrified.

Pleased, and horrified.
