My name is Nakahara Mao.
Completely at odds with my background in the Port Mafia, I suffered from a severe case of knight syndrome as a girl.
I'd tilt my umbrella to shelter others, always hand someone a dagger with the blade pointed toward myself (sort of), and even volunteer to donate blood (very much so)...
It was all because, from a young age, I had one lofty dream: "I want to become a hero just like my big brother!"
Mr. Mori, thoroughly amused: "Little Mao, do you remember what you and Chuuya are?"
Chuuya, with a truly remarkable expression: "And besides, I'm not..."
No, my big brother, who's saved Yokohama and me countless times, is a hero!
So being in the Mafia and becoming a hero who saves others aren't mutually exclusive.
The only drawback is that I don't have a supernatural ability.
But luckily, Namimori is a peaceful place, and nobody needs supernatural abilities there.
And I fell for someone.
I found the person I wanted to save.
When I saw him, my breathing quickened and my heart pounded
The shy, weak, broken, rabbit-like Sawada Tsunayoshi, who cried in frustration whenever his classmates bullied him.
The moment I laid eyes on him, I knew I liked him so much.
So helping my adorable brown-haired classmate escape school bullying became my daily mission, and "saving" him became my ultimate goal.
To save Tsunayoshi, I'd give him everything and become his most loyal guardian and white knight.
I don't care if he's Good-for-Nothing Tsuna or the Tenth Boss. As long as Tsunayoshi is by my side and still depends on me, I can find happiness and joy in "saving" him.
But why do people keep saying I want to control Tsunayoshi and ruin him?
It makes me very unhappy.
Tsunayoshi needs me, and I need Tsunayoshi.
Male lead pairing: 27/270. Chuuya is a platonic, family-like pairing.
Warnings:
1. "White Knight Syndrome": A tendency to seek out and "save" people perceived as fragile, helpless, or in need of help, in order to gain self-affirmation, a sense of worth, and control over relationships. It may even lead to extreme behavior, and is a distinct mental illness.
2. Tsunayoshi is portrayed as both a rabbit and a lion. Tsuna's dual nature is so cool!
3. If this makes you uncomfortable, please stop reading.
4. Apologies for any out-of-character portrayals.
Theme: Become a confident and strong person
