Epilogue
Argh this sucks.
This sucks. This really really sucks.
You know, there's a lot of things that sucks in this world. War, famine and drought among one of them. Global warming is among the top ten. Stubbing your toe on the corner of the cabinet sucks. Getting your hair tangled when you're brushing them sucks. Having no milk when you're craving for cereal sucks.
There's a lot of things that sucks in this world. But for me, sitting on the backseat of a car unable to escape as your boss –the kind that you fought to death for– flirts with a 15 year old, that sucks.
"Geeez... you can let go of me now!" Tsuna blushed beet red as Xanxus refused to let the boy off his lap.
"You know, you're technically my hostage." Xanxus fended off all his struggles and instead pulling him closer, nuzzling his face against Tsuna's soft hair. "So I can't let you go that easily."
Yeah right, you just want to spoil him. I rolled my eyes as I force myself to look outside the window, wishing the car would go faster even though it was going fast enough already.
Though I couldn't help but steal a glance when I heard the boss laughed. Like, real laughter. Not a manic or evil laughter when he destroys something. Not of amusement when he kills. A real laughter, like a real person.
Thank you, Sawada Tsunayoshi. I thought as I felt a smile creeping to my lips.
In the Vongola private jet, I sat across the aisle from Xanxus and Tsuna. Tsuna nodded off and leaned on Xanxus' shoulder. Xanxus put a blanket on him and he had a gentle smile that I never knew he had.
I was full of thought as to what I've done, and whether it was the right thing to do. Whether the changes that Tsuna brought to Xanxus were necessary, or will it be a hindrance to Varia. I yawned and stretched my leg, getting ready for a nap. No sense in thinking it now, what's done is done.
"Squalo." I heard the boss' voice.
I glanced cautiously at Xanxus, who looked to Tsuna and then to me. "Thank you. "
"You've done a great job."
I stared a little bit dumbfounded at the man who didn't have the words 'Sorry', 'Thank you' or 'Please' in his vocabulary before. He never had to.
Feeling a little bit embarrassed and somewhat happy, I replied "Yeah. Anytime."
-END-
Hachi: Alright, this time it's REALLY over. Really. No, really.
Who am I kidding, I want to continue this fic. Especially since this is the first fic of mine that received so many reviews. But for X27 the part where Tsuna goes to Italy is a bit overdone... I'll keep that in the back burner for now and work on something else.
Huge thank you to all the readers, reviewers, watchers, and generally all of you who I appreciate very much! I can't reply to each and every one of you, but I do read every review and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. To those of you who kept watching even if I was in a horribly long hiatus. To my surprise and delight, none of you flamed or said any mean things to me, which encourages me to write again and finish this story albeit with a (probably) surprising turnout.
Special thanks to mephistocat who drew a fanfic of Xanxus in a frilly apron (!) I wish I can show it to you, but my laptop died a while back... OTL If you're reading this, I hope you still have the file because I very much want to see it again!
