Right guys I was a bit sceptical whether I should post this or not, so I thought I would and see what the reception was like. If you guys like it or don't like it let me know so I can fix it. Just a word of warning this is a little TYL drabble I decided to do so there will be some small ten year spoilers but nothing about how they got to that point so you don't have to read it if you really don't want to. Thank you for taking interest in my story!
It was 11 o'clock in Italy, around the time when Amaya would lay on the couch across from the fire with a glass of scotch in her hand and wait for the boys to get in so she could no doubt chew them out for being so reckless. She didn't need this, ten years in the Vongola and she was still looking after them like she was a damned babysitter. She tipped the glass up to meet her mouth, downing the hard liquor in one with a face of disgust that slowly changed into happiness. Perks of being in the mafia, good liquor was never far away. Her phone began to buzz while she poured another drink, one look at the caller ID put a pleasant smirk on her face.
"What shit have you got yourself into now?" She sounded down the phone in an unamused tone, her other hand came to run through her short blonde hair and trace the scar that ran under her left eyes. From the sounds she could hear from down the phone, they were definitely in a car and were screeching down a road rapidly.
"This isn't the fucking time for funny talk woman!" Squalo's yell caused her to take the phone away from her ear with a hiss, it was like the shark could never be quite despite the situation. When she bought the phone back to her ear she was braced with a witty retort but that thought left her when she heard a child half laughing and half screaming in the background.
"You kidnapped a baby? I didn't know Gokudera could tolerate children" She chuckled down the phone, she started to make her way towards the door which was just a few steps out of the living room and a right turn. She knew that some of the most dangerous men in the world wouldn't be able to cope with a screaming child and would no doubt pass it on to her.
"It's a long story," Squalo was quitter than last time which Amaya was thankful for. "I'll tell you when we arrive." With that the Shark hung up on Amaya, she smiled slightly when she knew he was gone and replaced the phone into the breast pocket of her blouse. She had told the boys not to go out tonight, the Vongola where visiting the Varia and Belphegor ha the bright idea to take them on a 'fun little mission'. There were a few people who didn't get involved, Xanxus was stuck in his office drinking as usual while Chrome was fast asleep along with Tsuna and Hibari. Lussuria had gone out clubbing with a few other Queens and Levi was god knows where. Amaya refused to go no matter how much they tried to sweeten the deal for her, she managed to get them down to allowing her to be the driver and primary lackey killer but even so she refused to go so they all just left her there sitting at the kitchen table with a scowl on her face.
As she opened the door to wait for the boys to return there was a sudden flash of headlights followed by the black car rounding the corner at top speed. It was going so fast that it went past the mansion making Amaya run down the stairs worried that they might hit the trees that lined the driveway, the car quickly swerved though into the centre where the only damage was to the curb. She ran to the car, heels clicking as she went only to stop when she saw them all get out unharmed.
"Who in the hell was driving?!" She screamed at them all. Yamamoto walked past her, smiling down at her and ruffling her hair as he went. The next to come towards her was Ryohei who seemed pretty pleased with himself and that's when she noted the blood splattered on his collar, he must have broken someone's nose, he patted her shoulder when he went past her. Fran approached her next, coming to a stop just in front of her to pull out a knife from his frog head.
"Ama, my driving has improved" He spoke in his monotone making her eyes widen at what he told her, she told the boys never to let him drive again after he rode her favourite bike into the pool and blew it up, he wasn't safe near vehicles. When he walked past her she turned around to argue with the other people who were still present only to be hoisted into the air by the stupid prince.
"Hey Sis," He greeted her with the nickname he so generously bestowed upon her about nine years ago, just after the Vongola battles. "How long will it take you to get blood out of that shirt?" His question was innocent enough, until Amaya looked down to her shirt and saw his bloodied hands marking it vividly red. He placed her on the ground and gave her a small head hug, effectively squashing her before running off back to the mansion.
"Bel, you bastard get back here so I can rip your face off!" She yelled back at him but was only met with laughter from the man who was now already through the door. When he had finally disappeared she turned back to see Squalo nod to Gokudera before the latter began to walk over to her. He placed a small kiss on her head, the kind reserved for family members and in greeting before pulling away from her.
"Good luck" Were the only words the man said before walking towards the mansion with his hands in his pockets and a cigarette in his mouth. She told him since the first day she knew him that smoking would kill him one day, he just simply told her that the only way he was going to go was in battle before he placed one in his mouth and lit it. She pulled back from her thought when the door was opened again and a small boy ran out and proceeded to run circles around the small lady. The child appeared to have a full head of black busy hair which was home to two horns placed either side of his head, on his body was the cow costume that Amaya thought she would never see again.
"No way…" She muttered while looking to the child, he was definitely a ghost from the past. Her head looked to Squalo to see if this boy was in fact the real deal and the younger version of her friend and not some sick joke. When he nodded back with solemn eyes, Amaya leaned down and picked the child up ignoring the way that he was kicking in an attempt to try and get away from her.
"Lambo-san can't be captured! Lambo-san is invincible!" He cried in her arms making her laugh at him, he was the same as she remembered him. Hyperactive and annoying. She threw the boy into the air before hugging him to her with a soft smile.
"Lambo, I've missed you so much!" She couldn't help but yell, the small child outed and looked up the woman only now getting a proper look at her. When recognition washed over his face he began to hug the woman back, making her spin around with the boy. If her math was right, then now was when his fight with Levi was which meant that the poor boy was about to go through a hell that he didn't even know of, a hell that Amaya felt partly responsible for. She put the boy down then and smiled back at him. "How about you go and find Tsuna? The idiot needs waking up for this" Lambo didn't waste any time in running away into the mansion where the other had disappeared to.
Amaya turned around then to see Squalo leaning against the car that would obviously need some body and paint work the next day, Levi would be glad to have something to take his mind off of looking for the boss' praise. She crossed her arms before beginning to walk towards him, careful not to let her heels sink into the ground as she treaded across the grass. She came to a stop a few feet away from him and fixed him with a 'Told you so' look.
"Aye, don't look at me like that! The stupid hit was completed," He began, pointing his sword in her direction. Amaya raised one of her fingers and placed it on the still blood covered blade and with a minimal pressure pushed it away from her vicinity. "We were just finished when the fucking cow baby appeared." He explained to her with an annoyed look, running his hand down his face.
"I can't believe how far we have come in ten years." A smile rose to her face as she spoke and her arms unlatched from her crossed position, instead playing with the Vongola ring on her hand that didn't make her a Vongola guardian but a guardian of the Vongola. Squalo regarded her, his piercing eyes being drawn to the scar that was on her face that he was pleased to say wasn't his handy work.
"I still want to kill you at times" Squalo growled at her playfully, Amaya laughed at his statement and took another step closer to him, Squalo noted this and smirked at her.
"You can try, we both know you had a chance and you failed," She informed him, she eyed him up with her violet eyes inspecting for any sign of blood that wasn't his or an injury that would need healing. "Well you have had multiple chances to kill me but never took them. I guess you just can't bring yourself to kill me." Her own smirk rose to her face as she placed both of her hands behind her back, cupping them there before turning her back to him.
She placed one foot out to walk away but a strong arm snaked around her waist and threw her against the car, the wind was taken out of her from the impact but was able to be replaced quickly when she saw what position she was in. Squalo had pinned her to the car, his sword hand trapping her hands behind her back by pressing her body into the vehicle while his other hand was resting at the side of her head. She slowly raised her eyes from the floor for the sole purpose to stare in to his eyes, a playful look in her eyes to meet his own leer.
"You're too fun to kill" He spoke quietly into her ear, his breath sent a chill down her spine and made her head fall back onto the blacked out window. She grinned to herself before lowering her head back down towards him, he was barely centimetres away from her and she could just feel his nose touching hers.
"Good to know." As soon as she finished speaking she crashed her lips into his, happy that she could finally taste him again after days of being monitored by the Vongola who had taken up the mantle of Big Brothers (despite their age) in the last few years. He deepened the kiss, releasing her hands so he could manoeuvre his sword arm around her waist, making sure not to cut her with the blade, his other hand grabbed onto her hair so he could angle her head in order to explore all of her mouth. She responded, one hand resting in his own hair while the other held a secure grip on his shoulder.
Amaya smiled into the kiss, knowing she wasn't the only one who missed the contact between the two of them. It wasn't like they were really big on public displays of affection but at certain times, when coming home from a mission for example when hormones where at their highest, they didn't really care what anyone saw. They would quickly disappear before any real show could be made of it anyway, much to the relief of the Varia guards who they spent most of their time around.
Even though they were both part of the Vongola they often didn't spend that much time together outside of their assignments. He was the Captain of the Varia and she was the Guardian of the Tenth Generation Vongola so both had to mostly stay with their respective groups but every two weeks or so necessary reports had to be transferred and damn where they willing to be the ones to transfer them. It made her laugh in all honesty, their relationship wasn't the average one. When they first met, even for the first few months afterwards they wanted nothing more than to kill the other which slowly turned into being together for a longer time than they anticipated. There wasn't a clear line when their relationship changed from enemies, to friends to eventual lovers but that was what happened between the two.
"Hey, Amaya the cow is becoming annoyi-." Ryohei began to shout out of the door before he opened it to see Amaya and Squalo entangled in each other. He couldn't help the yell that come out of him. "Gokudera get the bombs!" He screeched back into the house which made Squalo reluctantly pull away from Amaya, an angered expression on his face as he began to catch his breath. Gokudera appeared around the door quickly followed by Belphegor who had a grin on his face that rivalled the Cheshire cats. Amaya caught her breath before turning to look at the guys, straightening her clothes as she fixed them with an almighty glare.
"Will you calm down?!" She yelled at them, stomping over the grass and feeling her heels sinking into the ground with every step. Gokudera immediately sensed that she was pissed and started to calm both him and Ryohei down.
"Okay, right. It's no big deal, all couples do it." Gokudera spoke to himself, feeling his boiling blood turn to a gentle simmer. He heard Ryohei taking deep breaths and imagined that the Boxer was starting to calm down as well.
"Shame you didn't screw her right then and there on the bonnet Squalo," Belphegor wanted to cause some mischief and making the Vongola explode was at the top of his list. "Then you could have shown these men how a real man takes a real women." The blonde grinned cheekily before running into the house, quickly followed by Gokudera, Ryohei and Amaya who had removed her shoes and grabbed the hammer she kept near the door.
"Belphegor you bastard, get here so I can demonstrate how a real women disposes of a pest!" Was her battle cry that echoed into the night.
