Hooray for flamboyant gay men! Gotta love Lussuria!


Friendship

Bizarrely enough, the expected hit never came. (Although you did spend weeks glancing nervously over your shoulder thanks to several comforting comments from your partner.) Instead, in an unexpected twist, you found yourself with a new friend.

A very flamboyant, brightly coloured, gay friend.

You blinked in bemusement as the Varia sun guardian dragged you down the street after him by your wrist as he continued on his grocery shopping trip, babbling over his shoulder inane things about some kid called Ryohei.

Apparently word had gotten back to the Varia base about how you had treated Squalo (much to the amusement of the other members) and a very tickled Lussuria had decided that you were 'just too cute' and decided to adopt you.

You were still debating whether or not this was a good thing. Here's what you had come up with so far:

Cons

1) You seemed to be given little choice about spending time with him. Even when you were supposed to be working. Like now. Not good for winning points in the office...

2)He was mafia. You were a cop. 'Nuff said.

3) Your boss was likely going to kill you if he found out, for both of the afore mentioned reasons...

Pros

1) You're pretty sure he was the only reason you were still alive...

Hmm... considering you were kinda fond of living, you were guessing that overall, pros won out...

"...and I really can't see why Squ-chan(1) is still so wound up about the whole thing."

"Hmm?" you murmured looking up to meet your new friend's gaze, tuning in at the name of your would-be assassin. "What was that?"

Lussuria let a knowing grin flash across his face (much to your confusion...).

"I was just saying that I really don't know why our dear sword master is still so angry. If anything he really ought to be thanking you~ " the green haired man beamed.

"Thanking me?" you asked with a perplexed look.

"Mmm-hmm," the Varia member chuckled, flashing his teeth in a wide grin, "You see, your little stunt amused our boss enough that instead of shooting Squalo for his screw-up, he just threw a couple of glasses at his head instead (After telling us all what happened of course)."

Slowly you blinked as you tried to absorb what had just been told to you.

"Your boss... throws glasses at you?" you asked slowly, sure that you must have misheard.

"Oh no!" gasped the flamboyant man, shaking his head emphatically, "almost never at me," he corrected. "I never do anything to upset him! He just generally throws things at Squalo."

Huh. Well that was a little weird. Sure the guy was loud. And annoying. But throwing glasses at his head seemed a little over the top. Then again, they were the mafia. And if the alternative is a bullet, then maybe a glass isn't so bad after all.

Still mafia or no, you did know what it was like to have a boss that clearly hated you, so (much to your disgust) you couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the silver haired Varia member...

... until you remembered that he wanted to kill you. Then you suddenly wished that Xanxus had thrown something a little more robust than a glass...


(1)Again, use of Japanese term here is deliberate. I just see Lussuria as the kind of guy that would like referring to his colleagues by the term 'chan'...

Fail! Sorry for butchering your character Lussuria... you're too damn hard to write D:

A/N: Yes, that was a hint of Ryohei/Lussuria there (love that pairing! ^^)

Pshhh, silly [Name], everyone knows that throwing things is how Xanxus shows he cares! 8D *Totally isn't a closet Xanxus/Squalo shipper at all... nope! .;... .;

So these last two were pretty short ones, but there are some longer ones coming up a little later on
