Confessions
chapter 2
XanxusxSqualo
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story...obviously.
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 (as well as Mammon and Lussuria in this chapter xD). We were being rather illiterate in Gmail chat so of course, I just used our chat as a guideline and made it super literate.
Hence why the characters may be (and probably are) go ooc.
xD
Enjoy
Squalo walked down the hallway towards his room angrily mumbling to himself all the way. He had just reached his door when he noticed Mammon hovering by. "Hey stupid shark," was all he said (and too casually) as he continued on his way in the direction the shark came from. Squalo snarled at the tiny arcobaleno for that rude greeting (and because Squalo never really like that 'kid'). The shark didn't give his death glare to Mammon for long; really the minute he passed, Squalo opened his door and walked in.
With a sigh of exhaustion, Squalo closed the door behind him and leaned up against it, resting his head back. He closed his eyes and breathed out through his mouth as he unbuttoned his leather jacket. "Geez, that idiot makes me so goddamn tired," Squalo murmured pushing himself off the door and shedding his jacket as he walked over to his bed. He tossed his jacket onto a chair not far from his bed and then unbuttoned the first two buttons of his white collared shirt. Too tired to do anything else, Squalo flopped onto the bed, face burying into the blanket and hoping that sleep would take his mind off what transpired not long ago.

While the shark wandered off to his room and do his own thing, Xanxus paced restlessly back and forth in his own room. He stopped after a short while and glanced at his bottle of wine; it was inviting, but not as inviting as the whiskey he kept in his small pantry (yes, he had a pantry just for his expensive alcohol). The boss walked over to cupboard and opened it up, taking out his favorite, popping off the cork and taking the first sip straight up from the bottle.
The alcohol burned his throat and attempted to settle down the irritated man's nerves (though it would take more than one sip to calm down this guy's nervous system when immensely wound up). Xanxus just sat down in his chair when a knock came to his door. "WHAT!?" he growled sharply.
Mammon opened the door and peeked inside to see boss ready to start fuming again. "Whoah boss, so angry," the little arcobaleno spoke hovering in. "What's wrong?"
"Stupid shark pissed me off!!" Xanxus gripped the neck of the bottle tightly.
"Oh, that's not new. He pisses everyone off," Mammon paused. "Well, except Lussuria. You can't really piss him off."
"He pissed me off more than usual."
Mammon shrugged. "Must've been one hell of an argument or whatever because he seemed pretty angry himself," he commented slowly flying towards the boss. "But he also seemed flustered.
Xanxus didn't say anything for a while. "I….think….I said some things I shouldn't have." He muttered to himself but Mammon was able to hear it.
"What are you talking about? Any shit you say to him, he deserves," Mammon replied.
Xanxus didn't ay anything more. He calmed down enough to pour himself a glass of whiskey instead of chugging it from the bottle. When Mammon didn't receive any kind of reply or comment, he went into the reason of why he was there. "Here you go boss," Mammon handed Xanxus a folder. "Our finance records for the week."
The boss took the folder and tossed it nonchalantly onto the table next to him. "Thanks, I'll look it over later."
Mammon nodded and turned to hover out of the room, closing the door behind him. Xanxus let out a harsh sigh and took a sip out of his glass.

Although feeling immensely tired, sleep was impossible for Squalo. He tossed and turned, trying to get comfortable only to sit up with a groan. "This isn't working," he grunted glaring lightly at nothing. The shark leaned forward a bit, rubbing his temples with his fingers. He felt a headache coming on; how wonderful (note the shark's sarcasm).

The boss tried to get some shut eye as well, but couldn't as he was too restless. A long, low growl emitted from his throat, his eyebrows arched in anger. Just then, the door burst open.
"Oooooh Bossuuuu! Have you seen Bel?" exclaimed a familiar, gay voice.
Xanxus' eyebrow twitched knowing full well who it was that barged into his room. "No I haven't, Lussuria!!" he snapped without opening his eyes.
Lussuria gasped at the sudden rudeness he received from his boss. He was shocked to see how furious the other man looked. "Why bossu!" Lussuria rushed to Xanxus' side. "Such an angry face! Whatever is the matter!?"
Xanxus opened his eyes and glared at Lussuria. "Ask Squalo. It's his goddamn fault."
"Oh dear, did he say some nasty things?" Lussuria pouted in his usual gay-ish way. "You know he doesn't mean anything he says."
"Yeah, sure," Xanxus rolled his eyes in utmost disbelief.
"No, really! He's just not soooo…"Lussuria paused thinking for the right words to say. "…so good with expressing his emotions. Actually, very much like you." Lussuria chuckled, but it sounded more like a giggle.
Xanxus didn't look at Lussuria. "Hmph…"
No reply from the boss after that and silence would have hung over them if Lussuria didn't speak up. "You know…" Lussuria smiled warmly. "He really likes you?"
"Ha! No he doesn't!" Xanxus scoffed. "He hates me!"
"Oh nonsense!" Lussuria waved his hand gaily. "I would know if he hated you. He does, after all, come to me to talk to about these sorts of things." Lussuria grinned, thinking back to the many times he pestered Squalo into revealing almost everything to him.
That sentence reeled in the boss' attention. "What?" he questioned quickly looking at the other.
"He told me once, that out of all of us in the Varia, he likes you most. He won't stop talking about you."
That really captured Xanxus' full attention. "What…what does he say?" he asked trying hard not to look surprised or anxious to know, although it was clear to Lussuria that he was.
"Oh you know, just how much he likes you despite the fact that you do abuse him a lot. And how he would truly do anything for you, even give up his life for you." Lussuria giggled again. "But oh! He told me not to tell anyone, especially you. Haha, oops!" the man acted as if he had forgotten and ran his mouth off too much by accident, but in reality, he did it on purpose.
"Then…." Xanxus looked baffled. "Then why did he reject me?"
"Reject you?" Now Lussuria looked confused but then his face suddenly lit up with delight (and it was really weird). He pressed his hands against his cheeks in a girlish manner. "Oooooooh! My little sharkie must be finally going through puberty!"
Xanxus arched an eyebrow. "He's not your little sharkie."
"Oh those lovely boyish hormones," Lussuria continued, waving his hand again, not even hearing what the other had said. "You know how those are."
"How I wish I didn't," Xanxus groaned remembering those teenaged years.
"Boys just cover up their feelings out of embarrassment," Lussuria ignored the boss. "Especially Squalo. Why not have a good heart to heart conversation with him, bossu?"
The boss glared lightly. "I already did and it was pretty 'heart to heart' if you ask me. We showed mutual feelings with our yelling," he replied growling with sarcasm.
"Well, then try again! But in a different manner!"
"…..how?" Xanxus questioned, arching his eyebrow in puzzlement.
"Well, try not to make him mad for starters because then he'll get very stubborn and won't listen to a word you say. Squalo is very sensitive…"
"But…."
"Especially around you."
"….why around me?" Xanxus arched an eyebrow.
Lussuria did his little giggle chuckle at the boss' stupid question. "Because he likes you silly. So just be a bit gentle."
"I'm not gentle, Lussuria," Xanxus glared.
Lussuria shrugged. "Well, just be a little bit gentler than you usually are." The feminine man grinned and gently poked his boss in the chest. "Besides, I'm sure there's a cute little kitten somewhere inside of you!"
Xanxus growled lightly. "Don't touch me again."
Lussuria simply chuckled not even feeling one bit threatened by Xanxus' words. "Well, I have to find Bel" he said getting up and waving goodbye as he pretty much skipped away. "Good luck with sharkie!" was his last words as he left the room.
Xanxus sat there for a while in silence, staring at his closed door. His expression showed slight bafflement as his eyebrow remained arched. "Weirdo," was all he had to say about the other before pouring himself another glass of his expensive whiskey.
