Dino just could not help it.
He found the scars very sexy. And quite the turn on.
Sure, Xanxus was a total ass to pretty much everyone, even his father, and Dino really shouldn't be attracted to him. But he couldn't help it—Xanxus was one sexy beast. His eyes were a beautiful crimson and his skin was a nice, natural tan. He was tall and fit, having abs that were slightly visible when he wore his Varia uniform. His shiny black hair was spiked up just right and the two short fringes that weren't up framed his face just right, the buzz cut on either side of his head adding a nice touch. The multicolored feathers in his hair that hung on his left shoulder were a nice accessory.
Xanxus's appearance wasn't the only thing attractive about him.
As time went on, Dino was able to learn a lot more about him. After being defeated by Tsuna Xanxus when through a change. Sure, most didn't really notice it, but those close to him were able to tell. He didn't throw his wine bottles as hard, he didn't drink as much, his voice lost a small bit of its hateful edge. He would even slip a small compliment here and there (those were very rare—it took doing something really impressive or beneficial in order to receive one.) If one was lucky they might even catch a slight glimpse of a smile. Not a smirk, but a real smile.
These were his thoughts before they got even closer ten years later.
Now, as he walked out the master bathroom with a small towel around his neck, his hair still wet from a quick shower, he couldn't help but smile as he saw Xanxus in the bed. After the two became lovers two years ago Dino was able to learn much more about Xanxus than anyone else, and he liked it that way. He knew his cute habits and his fears and his favorite foods and he loved it when Xanxus would hug him in private. It was something that embarrassed Xanxus to the point where a light blush adorned his cheeks, but he would still do it for Dino's sake. It was also very adorable when Xanxus would pout when the two got into an argument over the silliest of things. Most expected him to pull out his guns and blast him, and on a few occasions Dino expected that as well, but Xanxus had many secrets that only Dino knew.
Like the fact that he was a hugger in his sleep.
Dino sat on the edge of the king sized bed and ran the towel through his hair, watching as Xanxus turned over to face him, a pillow in his grasp. He mumbled a few words in his sleep—something Dino thought was adorable—before he snuggled closer to the pillow in his hold. With a warm smile on his face Dino lightly stroked the scar on Xanxus's cheek lovingly.
Yes, he thought, Xanxus is adorable.
