Like a Boss
Prompt: Hope
Character: Sawada Tsunayoshi, Xanxus
Sawada shifted nervously under Xanxus's cold glare.
"Um…" he began, searching for the words best to use in this situation with this person. "Grand-I mean No-I mean uh…"
"I get the picture," Xanxus interrupted, his gaze intensifying as he sipped the wine. "What is it he wants me to do so badly he's using you as a medium?"
"What? No!" Tsuna exclaimed and people turned their heads towards the loud voice. He blushed, "T-This is actually a me thing. Nono said that um…I'll be Decimo officially soon you see and well…"
"Will you cut to the point trash?"
"Oh! Y-Yes! Well, he said I needed to pick a Vongola Council…"
"And this has what to do with me? You'll pick the CEDEF like he did as your internal."
"Well no actually," Tsuna's face turned a bright red. "I don't have a close relationship with my father. Kyoya will be the next head and since he's already a guardian we can't have him on the console as well. So I was wondering if you would be my internal advisor? Because well the Varia is a branch of the Vongola…"
Xanxus leaned back in his chair. His lips pressed into a firm line, containing the shock he felt, before saying, "Who are the allies you chose?"
"W-Well The Cavallone and the Shimon…"
Silence settled between them as the nervous waitress, obviously intimidated by serving customers in such expensive clothing, set their food down in front of them.
And even though he hadn't gotten an answer, Xanxus showing a bit of interest in who he would be working with made Tsuna think he just might do it.
