Confessions
chapter 1
XanxusxSqualo
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters...obviously.
And yes, Xanxus will get a bit OOC here, but you know, it happens! xD In reality, this is based off a crack rp between my friend and I. We weren't planning the rp, we just -did it- and no, not that -did it- xD. Anyway, she was Xanxus and I was Squalo. We were being rather illiterate in Gmail chat so of course, I just used our chat as a guideline and made it super literate.
Enjoy
"VUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI! WHAT THE HELL DID I DO NOW?!" the voiced echoed in the large room as its owner's bruised forehead started bleeding, trickling down his face. He had been hit by a flying glass thrown by his own boss who obviously cared more about shattering the glass on the white haired man's head than the wine that was in it (that is not until after the wine became soaked up in the other's hair but even then, the boss just grabbed himself another glass to pour his wine in).
"You pissed me off again, stupid shark," growled the angered man as he took a sip of his newly poured glass of expensive alcohol.
"Well I'm just so sorry!!" Squalo replied sarcastically wiping the blood off his forehead and getting a small towel from the boss' bathroom to dry his hair (though he would obviously have to take a shower).
Xanxus didn't say anything more and merely sipped from his glass. There was a very tense silence, but that wasn't new. And if Squalo didn't say anything it would continue to hover over them.
"I'm leaving," Squalo groaned tossing the towel on the floor without care ('let the stupid boss pick it up' was his intent) as he began to make his way to the door.
"No you're not."
"What?" Squalo stopped walking and looked over his shoulder to look at Xanxus.
"I never said you could go," Xanxus growled not looking at the other.
"I don't need your permission to leave this room," Squalo scowled walking again.
"DON'T YOU DARE TAKE ANOTHER STEP OR I'LL KILL YOU!!"
Squalo stopped dead in his tracks. The shark would never admit it, not in a million years (just not ever), that if he and Xanxus ever battled in a real fight, it would be Squalo who would wind up brutally beaten up to a bloody pulp if not dead.
There was a brief silence before Squalo turned on heel to face Xanxus. "What's the big deal!?"
"You can only leave when I tell you to," Xanxus calmly said, taking a sip from his glass.
"And why is that?" Squalo barked annoyed.
"You belong to me, that's why."
"I never agreed to that!!" Squalo yelled.
Xanxus chuckled deeply. "Fine print."
"THERE WAS NO FREAKING CONTRACT YOU ASSHOLE!! I JUST FOLLOWED!!" Squalo roared losing it, his fist clenching at his sides.
"You vowed yourself to me. You even grew your hair out to express this," Xanxus replied nonchalantly.
Squalo arched an eyebrow in annoyance. "That doesn't mean you own me, bastard."
"You chose to follow me and because I'm your boss, I do own you," Xanxus returned with the same calm voice. "Thus your hair, your body, every inch of you belongs to me."
That last comment from his boss really pissed off the shark. "I DON'T BELONG TO YOU!!"
"Yes you do."
"MY HAIR DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU!!" Squalo continued ignoring Xanxus.
"Yes it does." Still so nonchalant.
"THIS BODY," Squalo went on, tugging at his own jacket collar to signify that he was talking about his own body. "NOT YOURS, DAMNIT!!"
Xanxus finally let his eyes lay on his subordinate. His eyes narrowed and a perverted smirk formed on his lips. "That's not what you said last night."
In a split second after he heard the other's remark, Squalo's expression changed from that of anger to confusion and worry. "L-LAST NIGHT!? W-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?" Squalo, overwhelmed by bewilderment, actually forgot what did occur last night even though it had nothing to do with Xanxus let alone about Squalo's body.
Xanxus chuckled and soon burst out into a malicious laughter. "HAHAHA, STUPID TRASH!!" A pause. "Nothing happened last night. I just said that because it makes you make that stupid face!!"
Squalo glared. "WHAT FACE!?"
"The 'oh shit! what's he talking about!?' face," Xanxus chuckled evilly.
"I-I DON'T MAKE A FACE LIKE THAT!!" Squalo yelled his face distorted with anger although very faintly, the shark's cheeks were lightly flushed with pink from embarrassment.
"Yeah, you do."
"NO I DON'T!!"
"You do."
"GAH!! YOU'RE SUCH A MORON!!" Squalo flailed his arms in the air and rolled his eyes.
"You're one to talk," Xanxus glared lightly.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" the shark growled, his anger not fading one bit. Rather it increased if it was even possible.
"You're a moron, but don't worry, I like you anyway," the boss replied casually with a shrug.
"GOD, THERE'S NO LIVING WITH YOU!!" Squalo's hands balled up into fists as his whole body tensed up in anger. "HOW DO I PUT UP WITH ALL YOUR SHIT!?"
Xanxus merely shrugged again and then silence hung over them. Xanxus chuckled briefly once more (probably remembering something about the shark that made him laugh) as he leaned back in his chair. He had the last laugh and Squalo just scoffed, though knowing his defeat. The silence stayed for a while until something popped into the shark's head.
"You know what?" Squalo started off harshly with a glare directed at his boss.
"Hmmm?" the man in the chair merely muttered in response.
"Ever since I started following you, I haven't been able to hook up with a girl!"
"Good, because you're mine," Xanxus stated firmly.
"NO I'M NOT, ASSHOLE!!"
Xanxus merely chuckled without another word escaping his lips.
Í hope you fall off a cliff or get hit by a bus or SOMETHING LIKE THAT!! I DON'T CARE SO LONG AS YOU DIE!!" Squalo snapped.
"You wouldn't want that," Xanxus replied calmly with a smirk, resting his head back against his chair and closing his eyes.
"Oh really? And why not?" the shark growled placing his hands on his hips.
"Isn't that obvious? You're totally gay for me," the smirk grew wider although the eyes never opened.
"HA! You wish! Who would be gay for a shithead like you!?" Squalo sneered.
"You for starters."
"Psh! Yeah right!! I'm so for the boobs and the miniskirts!!"
"Sure, if you're straight, then so is Lussuria," Xanxus opened his eyes just to roll them to add to his sarcastic remark.
"Come on, is that the best you can do!? Everyone knows Lussuria is gay! He's all over men! You don't see me drooling over men do you!?" Squalo laughed thinking he got the best of his boss.
"I don't see you drooling over girls either." Or not; Xanxus had the last laugh again.
Squalo didn't say anything for a moment. This was getting ridiculous and the shark was very annoyed. He hated losing to Xanxus in almost every single argument they had (ok, all of their arguments really). "That's it! I'm going to find a girl!" he finally said making his way to the door. Squalo did get any farther than one step when Xanxus replied.
"I'll kill her," he simply declared glaring at the shark.
Squalo stopped, his anger fuming, turned around and stomped back to Xanxus to face him. "What is up with you!? Why are you so obsessive over me!?"
"Because it's fun to see you all flustered," Xanxus chuckled and smirked at the shark in front of him. "And you're mine, of course. No one else can have you."
"For the last time, I'M NOT YOURS!!"
Xanxus was silent mainly because he didn't feel like saying anything more or else this argument would turn into a childish fight of 'yes you are' and 'no I'm not'.
"Why not leave me alone for once!? Why do you have to be so possessive of me!?" Squalo kept on, but there was a faint strain in his voice that showed he a bit upset. He just didn't understand Xanxus and something about his boss being so controlling over him made his heart sting and his stomach twist up into a knot. Unwillingly, but it seemed to help just a tad, the shark let his hand rise to his chest to grip the fabric of his jacket where his heart thumped heavily beneath his skin and muscles.
"Because you're loyal to me," Xanxus replied, but this time with no chuckles and no smirks. On his face held a serious expression.
Squalo never saw his boss this serious before, especially towards him. It was either laughing at him and calling him trash or yelling at him and calling him trash. "So?" the shark tried to keep his voice steady. "What about Bel? He's loyal."
"Not as loyal as you," still that serious, beautiful face stared at him.
"Sure he is! What about Lussuria!? He's way more loyal than me!"
"Not really," Xanxus sighed.
"Yeah he is!!" Squalo's anger took over and the pain in his heart was completely forgotten about. He dropped his hand down to his side where it balled up into a fist. "Why not direct your goddamn controlling energy towards him!?"
"Not my type," Xanxus replied closing his eyes and shrugging.
"Oi! Really now!?" Squalo questioned crossing his arms.
"Yup."
"Then what is your type?"
"Sharks."
Squalo arched an eyebrow in puzzlement. 'What the hell kind of answer is that?' echoed in his head. "Sharks?" he repeated mockingly.
"One in particular," the boss replied without opening his eyes.
The shark looked at his boss in surprise. Silence hung again, but this time because Xanxus had nothing more to say and Squalo was too dumfounded to speak. "You…are….unbelievable," he spoke after some time. "…messed up….screwed up in the head. I think that brat Tsuna knocked you around too hard."
Xanxus' eyes show opened and he leaned forward in his chair, directing his glare at Squalo. "What?" he growled deeply; he was really pissed off by that comment.
"Well the kid did beat the crap out of you," Squalo replied with a shrug.
"Shut up."
"What? I'm just stating the facts. That kid whooped your ass good."
Xanxus' anger grew as he gripped the arms of his chair, a deep growl still resounded in his throat. "Shut. Up."
"I mean seriously," Squalo continued ignoring his boss' orders.
Xanxus had enough; he didn't need the shark to finish that sentence. He quickly stood up and stormed his way over to Squalo.
"….you had your ass handed right back to you," Squalo had nearly finished just as Xanxus reached him and violently grabbed him by the collar.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!! Xanxus roared, his anger really showing.
"Whoah," Squalo lifted his hands in a surrendering fashion. "No need to be angry. I was angry, and surprised too, when you lost to that kid." A smirked formed across the shark's lips.
Not the wisest choice to continue insulting the boss seeing how it cost Squalo to be thrown harshly against the wall. All the while, Xanxus didn't release his tight grip on Squalo's collar.
"GAH!! THAT HURTS!!" Squalo yelled in pain as he was kept pinned up against the wall.
"You deserved it trash," Xanxus replied, viciously releasing his grip on Squalo and walking away.
"Psh, asshole," Squalo muttered loud enough for the other to hear as he made himself comfortable against the wall, crossing his arms as he did so.
"Worthless trash," Xanxus snarled, his back to the shark.
"Jackass."
Xanxus turned to look at Squalo, the anger never in his eyes never fading. "Why would anyone ever want you? Much less let you follow them like a stupid dog?"
"You," Squalo answered sarcastically.
"I didn't ask who, idiot. I asked why. I should have never listened to you."
"Well, I don't know what goes on through your stupid head," Squalo shrugged. "Not my fault."
Xanxus looked away. "You never had to follow me."
"I liked your anger remember?" Squalo replied. "But it was stupid of me to stick around seeing how hateful you are to your followers."
"So?" Xanxus shrugged. "They don't matter to me. They just need to do their job."
Squalo watched Xanxus in silence. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he let out a sigh. "You know, I think I'm starting to like the fact that the brat is the tenth boss. At least his doesn't treat his family like trash." Squalo opened his eyes just in time to see the boss' next move.
Xanxus literally spun around to charge back towards Squalo, throwing a punch against the wall just a few centimeters to the side of the shark's face. "THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO TO HIM, DAMNIT!? VOW YOUR LOYALTY TO HIM!? GROW YOUR HAIR OUT FOR HIM SINCE HE'S SO GODDAMN WONDERFUL!?" The boss was angry, no, extremely angry. He was seething, his eyes glared fiercer the ever and his forehead had more wrinkles than the shark ever imagined. A deep, inhuman growl reverberated within his throat. This was the most angry Squalo had seen his boss (more angry than the Sky Ring battle if that was even possible), but at the same time, the most hurt.
"Why so angry boss?" Squalo question with a hint of sarcasm.
"Because you want to leave me," Xanxus hissed; oh yes, he was hurt.
"Never said that," Squalo returned calmly, looking into the other's red eyes.
"YES YOU DID!!"
"No I didn't. I said I was leaving the room, not you."
"Might as well be the same damn thing, you stupid shark, if you're throwing your loyalty in with that brat!" Xanxus continued to growl in Squalo's face, finally backing off the other by pushing away from the wall, traces of plaster crumbling from the hole and the angry man's fist.
"Now you're overreacting. I never said anything about throwing my loyalty away. I just said one simple comment and-" the rest of the shark's sentence was cut off by Xanxus' next words.
"You still said!" Xanxus yelled glaring at Squalo. "I have no need for you if your devotion has faltered."
"It hasn't faltered," Squalo replied, being the most calm between the both of them for once.
Xanxus walked back to the other and placed an arm against the wall, leaning close enough to Squalo's face to where the shark could feel his burning breath (and the faint scent of alcohol from the expensive wine he drank). "Prove it," he spoke under his breath just audible enough for Squalo to hear.
"Prove it?" Squalo recurred, his eyebrow arching again.
Xanxus leaned back a little, though keeping his arm rested against the wall, just enough to look at the shark' face in its entirety. It was evident that the boss had calmed himself down by a huge amount although it was clear that he was still immensely angry. His face showed he was calm, but his voice gave away his rage. "Prove it," he said again harshly.
Squalo let out a sigh, briefly closing his eyes as he did so, before reopening and replying. "I haven't cut my hair have I?"
"So?" Xanxus mocked not satisfied with this answer.
"So, the fact that I grew my hair out for you as an expression of my loyalty and having never cut it for the past eight years, should be proof enough."
"That's not enough," Xanxus said, obviously still not satisfied with Squalo's in-depth answer.
"This," Squalo started, grabbing a lock of his long white hair and irately shaking it in front of Xanxus' face. "Should be proof enough! What more do you want from trash like me?"
"To know you'll never leave me," Xanxus' expression seemed to change. It looked as if, the anger was washed away and replaced with sincerity and…longing for reassurance.
"Why is it so important that I don't leave?" The pang in Squalo's heart came back in full force and the shark began to feel sorry for the other after seeing this new expression on his face, but he soon became sarcastic. "You can always find someone else to be your punching bag," the shark glared lightly, crossing his arms again.
"I like it when it's you," Xanxus answered with a smirk.
Squalo's glare intensified. "My point exactly," he spoke, a bit hurt, pushing himself off the wall and past Xanxus. He began walking towards the door to leave. "I'm tired. I'm going to bed," he added making up an excuse even though he was far from tired.
Xanxus knew he said something wrong and cursed himself in his head as he would never admit it out loud. He chased after Squalo who was a mere few steps away from the door. Xanxus caught up in no time and grabbed the white haired man's arm.
If Squalo was annoyed before, then boy was he really annoyed now. "What now?" he groaned, growing weary of this never ending argument as he was forced to turn at look at Xanxus. "Has it ever occurred to you that-"
"I like it when you're around," Xanxus replied, oddly, most of his anger gone. He glanced away to avoid meeting eyes with the other. "Happy?"
Take the 'being annoyed' level up one more notch. That's where Squalo was now. "Oh yeah, so you can give me more bruises?" Squalo jerked his arm out of Xanxus' grip. "Well isn't that nice? Thanks!!"
"No. I just….want you around." How bluntly put.
"Oh, so to throw shit at me, then? Or to call me names and such? Because I find it really hard to believe that you 'just want me around'!!"
"It's not my fault you happen to be there when I need to kick the shit out of someone!!" Xanxus yelled, losing control of his anger again.
"Oh thanks!! BLAME IT ON ME!!" Squalo turned around and began walking.
"You never complained!"
The shark kept on walking.
"I thought you liked it!!"
Squalo stopped abruptly, and right when he got to the door too. He turned sharply to look at Xanxus. "Liked it? YOU THOUGHT I LIKED IT!? WHO IN THE HELL WOULD LIKE GETTING THE SHIT KNOCKED OUT OF THEM, JACKASS!?"
"YOU TELL ME! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KEEPS COMING BACK FOR MORE!!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"
"IF YOU HATED IT SO GODDAMN MUCH, WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE A LONG TIME AGO!?"
The shark was silent after that question. It had caught him completely off guard and left Squalo speechless for a short while. "………………." The shark stayed quiet for a while as if thinking. "Good question," he finally said. "Why didn't I leave?" he repeated the question to himself glancing at the ceiling. "I dunno," he answered after a while looking back at Xanxus. "I guess I thought you would change or something."
"I see…" Xanxus was silent soon after uttering those two words.
"'You….see' what? Squalo was confused. What was going on through the boss' head? When Xanxus didn't answer him, the shark just sighed and turned to leave.
"Do you….do you even like me?"
Squalo stopped (how many times so far now has he started walking and stopped, starting walking and stopped?). That was another question that really caught the shark off guard. He took a deep breath and sighed. "I wonder," he spoke sarcastically. He turned slightly and looked over at Xanxus. "I'm still here aren't I?"
Xanxus didn't say anything, he just looked at Squalo with a never before seen face. His face shown injure, as if he hurt inside, he looked like how Squalo felt not that long ago: a pang in the heart and a knot in the stomach. Squalo waited, but he didn't know for what, he simply felt like he had to, but when the silence between them seemed to drag on for too long, the shark made the motion of beginning to leave.
"Squalo…" his name was muttered in almost a whisper, but the shark heard it. After all he wasn't that far from his boss.
Squalo turned around all the way to face Xanxus completely, crossing his arms. "What?"
He didn't know, however, that the moment he did so, Xanxus was much closer than he was before. The black haired man gently gripped the shark's arm and used his free hand to grab the back of his head to prevent his face from retreating. The next move anyone would see coming, but Squalo was just a few seconds late in realizing it. He didn't know what his boss was doing until after Xanxus crashed his lips against the shark's with a brutal force.
At first, Squalo didn't resist as he was too stunned to fully register what was going on. But when he did, the shock he gained from realizing that his boss was kissing him made him push the other away with all his might. The kiss was broken instantly and Xanxus had to let go of Squalo's head to keep from pulling it along with him. That hand now rested on the other's shoulder. The shark panted maintaining an arm distance between them as he wiped his lips with the back of his hand (but keeping it over his mouth for extra protection in case the other decided to steal another kiss).
"W-What…..WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" yelled the now flushed shark.
"Some call it a kiss," Xanxus answered smoothly.
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT, ASSHOLE!!"
"Then what do you mean?"
"W-WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!? I-IT JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE!!" Squalo continued to shout.
"No it didn't," Xanxus returned arching his eyebrow now.
"Yeah, it did!! One moment we were arguing and the next your lips are on mine!!"
"Well, it didn't come out of nowhere."
"It was still random!!" Squalo stepped back quickly to get out of Xanxus' light grasp stopping just a few steps away from his boss.
"You asked me what my type was, and I answered. I told you I liked having you around," Xanxus tried to close the gap between them by taking a few steps, but when he saw that it only made Squalo take equal steps backwards away from him, he abandoned the idea and simply stood there.
"I-I thought you were kidding!!" Squalo returned trying to calm down, but failing in attempt and it was clear in his strained voice that he was flustered and very confused.
"I've been dropping hints left and right you dense shark!" Xanxus picked up his voice level a tad.
"I thought you were being sarcastic!"
"No," the boss simply replied.
Squalo didn't say anything back and since he didn't, Xanxus had nothing to answer. Squalo turned around quickly. "Whatever! I'm going to bed!"
"Hey!"
The shark stopped again for what seemed like the twentieth time, but he didn't turn around or look behind his shoulder this time. "What?"
"Did you like it?"
"Like what?" Squalo questioned knowing very well what the other was talking about though.
"Me kissing you."
"Oh." Good thing the shark didn't turn to face Xanxus because just having heard the word 'kiss' (or any form of it), a blush painted his cheeks. "…that." Squalo was about to hesitate but if he did, his next words wouldn't be convincing. "No, of course not," he managed to say without any stuttering.
Since Squalo never looked back at Xanxus, he never saw another face that was never made by the other (at least, no one ever saw it): rejection. After hearing the shark's last words, Xanxus was speechless because now he was feeling that nasty stab in his heart. His forehead wrinkled and he frowned as he looked at the ground, but not because he was angry. Then he remembered he was boss and he still didn't want the stupid shark to leave the room.
While Xanxus was going through his feeling of rejection, Squalo was taking deep breaths to calm his nerves before speaking. "Night….I guess." Squalo just opened the door in front of him when he felt the back of his jacket collar being grabbed and tugged. Xanxus pulled back to get the other close enough to him to hug from behind. The boss wrapped his arms around the shark's waist and buried his face in the other man's long hair, closing his eyes.
"Don't go," Xanxus whispered, his voice a bit muffled as there was a wall of hair in front of his lips, but Squalo still heard it.
Blushing, Squalo lifted his hands and placed them over his boss' arms. "W-what now?" he muttered under his breath.
"Just…don't go," Xanxus repeated taking in the other's scent.
They stood like that for a while by the doorway, the blush on Squalo's face never fading. Finally he started to struggle and attempted to pull Xanxus' arms apart. "Come on, let go. I'm tired."
"Stay here with me."
"What's the big deal? You practically see me every day!" the shark continued to get out of the other's grasp but it only made the other hold on tighter.
"And I want to see you right now, is that so goddamn wrong?" Xanxus hissed.
"…I-I told you…I didn't like it!!" Squalo tried harder to break free.
"Are you sure?" Xanxus opened his eyes and rested his chin on the shark's shoulder. He was able to see the other's face quite well now.
"O-Of course I am!!" Squalo shut his eyes tight hoping his boss didn't see him blushing.
"You don't sound sure," Xanxus smirked.
"What!? I am!? It was gross!!"
"You blushed." Crap, he did see.
"N-No I didn't!!" Squalo was really embarrassed now; he felt like his pride was being stripped away and that made him struggle more.
"Yes you did. Both times I asked," the smirk grew wider.
"Well, I'd like to see you not blush if you were in my position! Having another guy plant his lips on you and all that shit!!" As much as he tried, Squalo just couldn't escape the other's hold.
"If someone other than you did it, I'd be too furious to blush," Xanxus declared glaring lightly at the thought of it someone other than the shark kissing him.
Squalo had stopped struggling and was almost rendered speechless again but managed to find some words to verbalize. "Why…only me? What's so great about me? I'm just a stupid shark," Squalo tried to be sarcastic in the end but he ended up revealing that what his boss was saying to him and doing to him, was really making his heart ache uncontrollably.
Now Xanxus was feeling uncomfortable and he even showed it. He closed his eyes, burying his face into the side of Squalo's neck which sent shivers down the white haired man's spine. "You're the only one who understands me," Xanxus breathed heavily onto the shark's neck, making him shiver again as he gripped his boss' arms.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're," Xanxus started off in a normal voice, but it fell to almost a whisper. "…my best friend."
Squalo arched an eyebrow and tried to glance at Xanxus but was only able to see the top of the boss' black hair. "Best friends don't kiss other friends," he stated.
Xanxus hid his face more in the shark's neck, if that was possible. "Then you're more than that alright!?"
Squalo didn't say anything and Xanxus took that time to quickly add another sentence. "Don't go blabbing it to everyone, shark!" he hissed in the other's neck making Squalo shiver for the third time.
"Okay, I won't! Now let me go!!" Squalo started struggling again; he wanted to escape from this feeling of immense pain in his heart and nausea in his stomach.
But the shark didn't struggle for long. He stopped abruptly and on his face was shock as he stared blankly out into the hallway in front of him. His face was flushed again, because the boss had whispered something in his ear.
"I love you."
"W-what!?" Squalo turned his head to look at Xanxus as much as he could, surprise smothering his face. He…didn't hear that wrong, did he? His boss did say...those…three…words…right?
"Don't make me say it again," Xanxus murmured viciously (so he did say it).
"Okay then! I won't!! Let go now!!" But the shark wasn't struggling despite his demands.
"No," Xanxus refused hugging the other tighter. "I want some sort of answer."
"Answer? Answer to what!?"
"Do you like me?"
"Not like that!!" How easily that lie came out. Squalo, him having said it, was a bit taken aback hearing that line slip out so easily without hesitation. Of course the answer to that was 'yes'. He loved his boss, but for some reason he was too afraid to admit it. It felt like one of those 'too goddamn good to be true' moments.
The arms around the shark's waist disappeared slowly. "Leave." Squalo could hear it, sense it, Xanxus was hurt. He looked behind his shoulder and actually saw the boss' rejected expression. The other was looking at the ground solemnly, his brow lined with distraught.
The question 'you okay?' was a long shot from appropriate as it was clear the other was far from 'okay'. So, Squalo asked something else. "You…really like me that much?"
Xanxus didn't reply and he didn't move; he simply kept his eyes to the ground. And at that moment, Squalo had this sudden urge to just laugh. Maybe it was because he was so full of mixed emotions that all he could do now was laugh. And he did; he immediately let it out. Although he was laughing, Squalo wasn't happy; rather, now he felt like crying, but like hell he would do that (especially in front of Xanxus). Xanxus became furious with the shark's laughter. "Get out!!" he yelled out.
"Hahahaaa, sorry, sorry!! I-I can't .help it!! I've never seen you like this!!" Squalo laughed out, making up an excuse for his laughing (though it was true that the shark never saw his boss this troubled). He tried to stop laughing by covering his mouth with his hand, though failing miserably. Squalo knew his laughing was really pissing off the boss, but he truly couldn't help it.
"GET OUT!!"
"Ok ok! Sorry," the laughing started to die down as Squalo turned to leave the room, but he was still full of chuckles. The slowness of his exiting and the never-ending laughing cost the shark a punch to the side of his head.
"OW!!" that stopped the laughing instantly.
"JUST GO ALREADY!!" Not caring about the injury he gave Squalo (when did he ever?).
"I'M GOING, I'M GOING!!" Squalo hollered back rubbing his head where the boss had struck him and storming out of the room.
"AND DON'T YOU DARE COME BACK HERE YOU GODDAMN TRASH!!"
"FINE!" Squalo was able to scream back before the door was violently slammed shut.
What a way to end a(n almost) special moment!! ;A; Curse me and my love for making things complicated! O
Don't worry, there's more….you'll just have to wait for me to type it all up xD
But this is (probably) the longest chapter. I only broke it down because I felt it would be too long and ppl would be a bit discouraged to read such a long….one chapter…..one-shot….sort of story…
Yah….okay.
See you in the next chapter --figuratively……obviously...rolls eyes
