"Cookies, cookies I've got COOKIEEE~S!"Squalo sang as he walked down the corridor
towards the kitchen with a box of chocolate chip- cookies in his hands.
Humming happily he laid the box on the table and walked over to a cabinet,taking out a glass and the milk carton from the fridge.
Snickering, he stalked towards the table. He pulled out a chair, settling the glass down over dramatically, pouring in the milk.
He pulled the box closer, sparkles in his eyes.
It was, after all, his once-a-week Cookie Day!
Chuckling, he opened the box, wide grin spreading on his face, this was his favorite moment, the moment he always waited, the smell of a just opened cookie he would have his ritual-day in his own room, but everyone else seemed to have some sort of errands to run, so he was all alone, for once being able to enjoy this day where ever he wanted. Taking one cookie out of the box, he lifted it to his eye-level, admiring the shape, the colour,
the rough surface of the cookie, they way the chocolate had slightly melted in process of baking.
Bringing it closer to his ear, he crunched a tiny piece of the cookie in beetween in his fingers,
listening to the crunchy sound, the perfect sound in the world that always sent shivers down his spine.
Finally bringing it back to his face,right under his nose, he took a few shallow breaths, then pulled in a deep breath, savouring the smell. The same process he did on every felt connected to the cookies. They were his stress-relief, his savior, his sanctuary,
these moments alone with the cookies.
/And no one to bother me, the perfectness of the day/ Squalo chuckled.
/We are alone, my dear cookie, all alone and no-on shall bother us/ He stared intently at the cookie.
He brought the cookie to his mouth, biting a piece from it, smirking at the feeling.
He chewed on the cookie, and upon his teeth hitting a piece of chocolate, he hummed in pleasure.
Leaning his head backwards, closing his eyes, content with the feeling the cookies produced.
Feeling the tears of joy that prickled in the corners of his eyes.
"Ushihihihi..."Squalo's eyes snapped open, this couldn't be real, he forgot all about the abused cookie in his mouth, as he streched his head up-wards to get a look of the intruder, shotting a angry glance at Bel,he swore trough the Cookie God, that he'd avenge the meddling of his cookie day.
Bel stood by the door, smirking
" Ah, My sharky buddy, and I was so sure that there would be no-one around to entertain myself with." Bel loved to mess around his team-mates, but mostly Squalo, the shark-man was way too easy to annoy. Bel laughed and walked further into the room, stopping next to Squalo.
Squalo on the other hand, was not happy, at wished for the stupid princess to just disappear and he might be forgiven for disturbing his cookie Squalo thought of the options of whether to try and throw Bel out, or move himself to his own room. While Squalo's mind was filled with thoughts of saving his cookie day, Bel spotted the cookies and stepped closer, stretching his hand towards them.
"Ushihihi.. You know Squalo, you should be careful what you eat, after all, you don't have as elegant body as my roal one." Squalo looked up and saw Bel reaching out for the cookies.
"I haven't had a cookie in a while, wonder what they tasted like.." Bel mused to himself.
Squalo beat him to it though, he snatched the box away just as Bel was going to take one away.
Swallowing the mushed cookie from his mouth, he crouched low over the cookie box.
"Touch these, and you will die! VOOI!! Squalo sceamed as he protected the box under his upper body.
"Come on,just one..shishi" Bel begged and stepped closer.
"Do. ! These are MINE!!! VOOIIII!!!"Squalo yelled and backed away, spilling the milk on the table in process.
"Fine!" Bel humphed.
"I was just caring for your figure, Squalo dear, you seem to have put on a little weight" Bel said and smirked at the sharky.
"What do you mean by that !" Squalo screamed and jumped to his feet.
"Just noticed that you're getting a bit chubby over there, Bi-kun." Bel mused and poked Squalo in the stomach.
"VOOII!!!Take..Take that back..YOU!!!" Squalo protested and blushed a bit."It's the uniform"
"What ever you say, Bi-kun. I jnow what I see ushishishi...." Bel grinned.
"Listen you piece of..." Squalos sentence was left in the middle when Lussuria danced into the kitchen.
"Oohohohohoo!!My,my, what's going on in here?"
While taking in the scene of a smug looking Bel, pissed off Squalo holding a box of some sort and a table covered in milk.
"Squalo's just being mean, he won't share his cookies, not even one, eventhough he has a whole box! Well, guess his inside-pig get's out easier this way" Bel explained and shot a look at Squalo from the corner of his imagined eye.
"SHUT UP; YOU PRINCESS BABYDOLL!" Squalo screamed and stuck his tongue out at the blond-haired male.
"More importantly.." He continued and turned to look at Lussuria "Why are you here?!"
Lussuria smiled and walked over to the others
"My mission is already done, so is Bel's I presume."
"But they..you began them tomorrow morning, I did mine yesterday, You couldn't have had them easier, so what's the meaning of this?!VOOI!"
"Well, you see Sharky.." Bel piped up "We half-assed them together to get a day off."
"BUT!" Squalo stood stunned, all hopes of his cookie day vanishing in thin air. He had worked so hard to get his peaceful day with cookies and then these two go and ruin it.
"Ne, Lussy-chan, doesn't it look like Bi-kun has gained some weight?" Bel turned to look at the green-haired mand while pointing over at Squalo.
Lussuria looked thoughfull while he eyed the boiling swords-man intently, quickly stepping forward he grabbed Squalo on the side and pinched him.
"VOOII!!!BASTARD!!"Squalo hollered and jumped backwards
"What you doing?!"
"You're right, Bell-kun, it seems he has put on a bit weight" Lussuria said to Bel, ingoring Squalo
"I thought so." Bel smirked victiously.
"VOOII!! Don't ignore me, you peace intruders!" Squalo yelled and shaked his fist at them
"Huh, don't shake your fists, you couldn't beat even that Lambo-kid in your condition" Bel smirked,knowing that would piss-off the silver-haired man for good.
"VOOII!!You wanna try and see! I'm in far more better condition than the two of you together!"
"Bring it on! Heavy-weight!" Bel intrigued the man ever further.
"Okay, that's it, you're done for!" Squalo said as he began putting the box down on the table with shaking hands
"You know Bel. Look at Squalo.." Lussuria said thoughtfully "See how wide his pupils are and he can't seem to put the box out of his hands.."
"Could it be, that.." He turned to look at the blond-haired erhm..man. "Squalo has an addiction to cookies?"
"Now that you say, it seems so.." Bel chuckled a bit. "So, Sharky is a.. Cookie Abuser?"
"Take that back, I have no problems with cookies, just with you two! VVOOII!!" Squalo said and stepped forward to them, madness shining in his eyes.
Soon, the whole house echoed with the trios screams.
After a pretty lonig period of their noisy 'conversation' of who was addicted to what, accusements of body weight, hair-colour remarking and all other stuff they could possibly come up with.
They all silenced however, when there was suddenly a very murderous aura behind them, and a deep, icy voice spoke slowly, emphasizing each word
"What's the meaning of this damn ruckus!"
"We were just.. they..I.. they came to interrupt my break! VOOI! Squalo defended.
As he turned around he saw a beyond pissed-off Xanxus standing there, with his cookie box in hands.
"You all just a bunch of no-good trash!" Xanxus yelled "You'd be better off within the group on Vongola, I can't stand you!" Xanxus spat angrily
"Let this be the last time you cause such a ruckus ovre some trivial matters like weight,hair and what ever hell you were screaming about, I'm sure the whole town heard you. If you do though, you'll not live trough it." Xanxus smirked and as to emphazise his point, he dropped the cookies on the ground,setting his foot on them.
"Let this be a warning to all of you!" Xanxus said evily, as he twisted his foot so that the sound of cookies crunhching and crumbling echoed around the silent room.
"Next time, it's you bones keeping that sound!" Xanxus barked and walked towards the door, smug grin on his face.
"Oh and Squalo!" He turned towards the swords-man "This better be all cleared up once I return." With that Xanxus left the room, Lussuria sneaking out after him
"Oh, too bad Sharky, luckily I have something else to do!" Bel said and ran out of the room.
"Damn this all! VOOI!" Squalo muttered and stepped closer to the cookies.
/First they ruined my day, and then Xanxus crushed my cookies/ He kneeled down and tried to save the bigger pieces from the pile
/This is just too sad/ He sniffed sadly.
And a week from there, Squalo went straight behind locked doors on his Cookie Day!.
