Xanxus + OC. Risk for EXTREM OOCness from Xanxus... because I totaly adore the tought of him having a splitpersonality when falling in-love.
Rated M just to be sure for later Chapters.
Forgot to write this in the first chapter: I do not own KHR, nor do I claim to.
It took me about one week to start getting used to Varia, and start to get extremely annoyed at some points. Even if I didn't care, Squalo's constant screaming did get tiresome after a few days. I spent most of the time training with Xanxus, more than I needed to actually. He was the only one who didn't seem to try to make me do things all the time. After one shopping tour with Lussuria I was sure to never, ever, again go shopping with him. The almost 12 hour long shopping tour nearly killed me. And the prince with his constant snicker was annoying too. At least the boss of Varia was focused on just training, or well… he did at some times have a strange look on his face when I was taking a break to drink or if I was breathing heavily. He never responded when I asked why.

The first snow started falling about two weeks before Christmas, I had almost forgotten that time passed like normal. The mansion looked like a painting with all the white snow covering it. It wasn't to fun thinking about the fact that I escaped outside to avoid having to attend a Christmas party that Lussuria prepared for tonight.
"You should go inside or you might get a cold." Xanxus had walked up to me.
"Why would I?" I asked back, not feeling like going back inside. Sure, the fire from the fireplace and everything was nice. But a Lussuria who followed you around trying to get you to wear something he bought for you on a whim was making everything feel way less appealing.
"I'll tell him to leave you alone."
"Like that will help…"
"Want to go train instead?"
"I'd love to." I smiled at him, he smiled back. Slowly we started heading towards the training facility.

"Put more power into it. You're slacking off."
"I'm not slacking off." I directed another kick against the bunching bag, angry that he thought I was slacking off.
"Better, but I know that you are stronger than this. Don't hold back."
"Can you be quiet?" This time I hit the bag instead of kicking it.
"Not until you get serious."
"Can I hit you?"
"If that makes it easier."
"Great." I directed a hit towards his chest, Xanxus just smiled and caught my fist.
"You need to put more effort into it."
"How?" I directed a kick towards him, he just pushed my leg away.
"Try finding weak spots."
"I'll try." I moved back from him, trying to get a better view. Irritating enough he followed me.
"Trying to run away?"
"No chance I would do that." I moved to the side and tried to tackle him, only to be caught in a hug from him.
"You need to be quicker than that principessa." He let go of me while smiling.
"And you seriously have to stop teasing me."
"It makes you serious, so why would I stop?" I didn't answer his question; I just kept trying to get in at least one hit on him. After a while I started to see that he was open on one of the sides. I tried once more to get a hit, and to my surprise I did.
"Good, you learnt how to read movements." He laughed at my surprised face.
"Then shall we continue?"
"You really want to hit on me that much?"
"Using you as a punching bag is surprisingly fun."
"Then sure, if you can find another opening." He started to walk around, I followed his movements. I thought that I found one and directed a kick towards his leg. He swirled around and caught my leg in a firm grip.
"Not a real opening, you need to stop being impulsive." He didn't let go of my leg. I frowned, trying to pull it out of his grip.
"Xanxus let go." He only smirked at me for saying it, not letting go of my leg.
"Please, will you remove your grip from my leg?" I tried again, asking him more politely. He did let go of my leg, but instead griped my wrist and pulled me towards himself.
"Better this way?" his grip was impossible to get out of for me. I glared at him.
"No, not really. But I get it; I need to think before I act."
"Good girl." He let go of my wrist and gave me a hug before leaving my side to get something out of a bag that I never realized he had brought with him.
"Do you think the party is over yet?"
"No, they will probably keep going the whole night." He threw a bottle of water to me.
"Then can you teach me how to better read if the opening is fake or real?"
"Sure, but take a break first. You need to drink." I sat down on the floor and started drinking the water as I was told, it felt great to get something to drink.
"Why, apart from the fact that he wanted you to have five different dresses, made you want to skip the party?"
"Crowds aren't always that fun for me..."
"Oh right… forgot about that part."
"You actually read the info?"
"Yes, since I thought that it might be better if I did since I'm training you."
"Oh… ok."
"Want me to tell you how to read people's movements better?"
"Yes please." He laughed at my happy face.
"You sure get excited over the strangest things."
"Xanxus, come on…"
"I get it." He sat down next to me on the floor and started explaining what I had missed and how I could do in the future to better understand and see openings.

"Christina, tomorrow is the 14th!" Lussuria was happily decoration the mansion again, it was February and apparently he thought that Valentines was something that an assassination squad should celebrate. I had laughed at the thought at first.
"Luss, you know that you are the only one enjoying this. Right?"
"Now, now, don't be like that, we have to make chocolate for the boys."
"Why do I have to make chocolate?"
"Because you are a girl."
"Not making sense. I never give chocolate, and I do not plan on starting doing so just because you want to make chocolate for everybody." I left to go to my room, but the prince started to follow me.
"Ushishishi, if you don't plan on giving any chocolate to anybody… why don't you give yourself to someone?"
"Pervert, I have no interest in such things."
"The prince just wants to have a princess…"
"Then go find one elsewhere."
I ignored the prince the rest of the day. Since Xanxus had to go away on some mission over the day I spent the time I had reading, mainly about the mafia world. For some reason, this wasn't at all what I expected when I first heard that Varia was part of the mafia. I did not expect magical flames and strange assassination squads who celebrated things like Valentine's Day. But, never judge a book by its cover. I fell asleep some time during the afternoon.
"Chris, why are you sleeping in here?" Xanxus voice woke me from the slumber.
"I was reading, but my mind wandered and I fell asleep."
"Do you have any idea what time it is?"
"Nope, but I'm pretty sure you do."
"It's 2 am."
"Oh… wait, why did you go to the library at 2 am?"
"I have no idea."
"Welcome back." I smiled at his surprised face.
"Oh right…" he seemed to have thought about something completely different before responding.
"Luss will probably not let anybody leave the mansion today."
"Why?"
"You didn't see all the hearts and pink ribbons?"
"I forgot." He frowned.
"He tried to make me make chocolate with him earlier."
"Did you?"
"No, what's with that face?" He had first looked like he was happy, then a bit sad.
"Nothing, happy Valentine's day Christina."
"Happy Valentine's day Xanxus."

I was happy that nobody seemed to remember that my birthday was in April. Luss had made a big thing out of Squalo's birthday, so big that most of Varia had tried to escape the party. For what I knew not too many had managed. But the joy of not having them remember ended on the very day that I turned 18.
"Good morning Christina!" Luss was decorating the main hall.
"What are you doing?"
"Silly, don't you know what day it is today?"
"You remembered?"
"Of course, first time we celebrate a girls birthday." He gave me a hug.
"Why do you make a big thing out of it?"
"Because you're turning 18. Happy birthday." I just walked away from him; this was not a happy day. It was terrible. The loud greeting from Squalo didn't make it any better. Neither did the greeting from Levi who was trying not to blush. Bel just smiled and handed me a gift when he was me.
"What is this?" I stared at the crown, or tiara, that he had given to me.
"Ushishishi, principessa should have a crown too." He said grinning at me. I just went to my room and left it at the sideboard. I would never wear that thing.
"Having a bad day?" Xanxus voice made me turn my head towards the door. He was leaning against the doorpost while watching me.
"Yeah, you could say that."
"Not feeling like celebrating."
"I don't see a reason to."
"So, no mentioning what day it is?"
"Please ignore the fact that it's my birthday."
"Not that easy when he is running around trying to make a party."
"I'm not going to leave my room until this day is over."
"Want company?"
"Sure… was planning to see a movie." I smiled at him as he closed the door before walking over to my bed and sitting down on it, I sat down beside him and turned on the TV and changed the channel to one with only movies. A sci-fi move was on. Finally something that was the way I liked it on my birthday. Xanxus put an arm around me and I leaned my head on him as we watched the movie, ignoring the knocks from Lussuria who begged us to come out and actually celebrate my birthday. I fell asleep halfway through the movie.
/
"Chris, your birthday is over." Xanxus surprisingly soft voice woke me from my sleep.
"Huh, already?"
"You have been asleep for hours."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Watching you sleep was kind of fun."
"Did I talk while sleeping?"
"Yeah, you said my name."
"Very funny."
"No, seriously you did."
"What did I say?"
"Something that sounded like thanks."
"That makes sense. You're the only one that doesn't try to make me act like something I'm not."
"Why would I try to change you?"
"I can't come up with anything at the moment."
"Then stop trying. We need to get something to eat." He pulled me out of the bed, and then led me down to the kitchen.
"Still, best birthday I've had in years."
"So falling asleep in my arms while watching a crappy sci-fi movie is a good birthday?"
"Got a problem with that?"
"Not at all, principessa." He smirked and put down a plate with cake on it.
"Let me guess, birthday cake?"
"The only thing that was left that doesn't take time to prepare."
"How many times did Luss knock before giving up?" I started eating.
"I lost count. He was more persistent that usually." Xanxus sat down next to me and started eating too.
"Better not spend next birthday here then."
"If you don't feel like watching movies all day and falling asleep on-top of me again…"
"You think I'm still going to be here in a year from now?"
"Hopefully."
"Is it a good thing that people want me dead?"
"No, but it's more fun to have you here than the trash." I didn't respond to that I just finished my cake before telling him good night and going back to my room to get some more sleep.
Please leave a review with your opinion(s).
This is basically a chapter with random things that happens, mainly when Luss have decided to celebrate something *shivers* and yeah... next chapter will make more sense. I just wanted to make this one so that the gap of 7 months didn't seem too strange.
The birthday was well... just ignore the fact that Chris is somewhat stupid when it comes to certain things...
