3rd Person P.O.V
It was a nice afternoon. The Arcobaleno were lounging in the living room, either talking to each other or doing their own things, which they mostly do with the exception of Skull, Fon, and Yuni.
Although, Skull hasn't been talking around these past few days, and the others were slightly worried as this isn't the Skull they knew. So, with a direct approach, Fon and Reborn decided to ask (in Reborn's words: demand) on what has happened to him in this last few days.
"Skull/Lackey" Reborn and Fon both simultaneously said. They looked at each other, stared for a couple of seconds, then put their full attention on Skull, whose face contorted to curiosity and confusion as they haven't continued on what they were saying.
"Why aren't you like yourself these past few days. We- I've been getting worried about you." Fon decided to talk first. It was clear in his sentence that they have been worrying about him, but decided to change it into him as he didn't know what the others were thinking. Of course, Skull noticed the slip in this sentence, but decided to ignore it as he quite believed that they considered him like a family.
"Oh. That's what you have been worrying? Haha, don't worry too much. It's just that I've been comfortable with living with you guys in these past few years that I didn't feel like the need to make myself more noticeable than others. Granted, there were bad experiences with you guys, but nothing happened worse than that in my life so far." Skull laughed as he said his piece while calmly explained on why he hasn't been talking.
"Oh? So, what had happened in your life that has been worse than your treatment in these past few years?" Reborn questioned, as his eyes narrowed on Skull's body. Shoulders slumped, but ready for action, which was unusual for the lackey as he has always been laid back.
"Damn, shouldn't have said that." Skull murmured to himself, which the martial artist and hitman heard due to their heightened hearing.
"Oh? Why is that?" Fon asked curiously and serenely as he stared at Skull.
"You don't need to know that, haha" Skull said with fake happiness. Reborn was going to demand, when suddenly, the room had been surprisingly suffocating due to the amount killing intent that they didn't know where it come from. Reborn and Fon were slightly affected, but nonetheless stayed calm as they tried to find where the killing intent was coming from. The others were affected greatly, but not so much that they can be paralyzed by the fear.
Looking around the room, trying to pinpoint where the killing intent was coming from, ready to pounce at the person. After searching the room, they turned to Skull, his head was ducked, eyes were covered with his amethyst purple bangs, with his mouth in a straight line. Underneath the bangs were his eyes that like smoldering magma, with amethyst purple seeping in and little flecks of other colors were mixed in.
"Like I said, you don't need to know. That part of my life is dead to me. Understand?" Skull said with killing intent seeping in his voice, which turned deep. He raised his head to look at the men who was in front of him. Reborn and Fon has seen his eyes. A smoldering amethyst purple with a thin ring of topaz orange, and flecks of sapphire blue, azurite indigo, ruby red, emerald green, and citrine yellow. His pupils were a onyx black, which were slits like that of a feline. Although they didn't notice it as the amethyst purple was mesmerizing to notice anything but that color.
Fon was visibly nodding serenely when internally he was slightly surprised as to how Skull had killing intent. Reborn tipped down his his fedora in agreement. Underneath the tipped fedora which was covering his eyes, the shock was prominent within his eyes along with the emotion that someone couldn't quite decipher.
"Good. I'm going to my room okay? I think I need to rest" Skull said enthusiastically as he waved a goodbye to the others. Good thing Yuni isn't in there.
"The fuck was that, kora?!" Colonello was the first one to voice out his thoughts, which were the same exact ones, albeit with slightly less vulgar language. The others nodded and looked at the duo for answers.
"I don't know. That was the first time I have seen Skull like that" Fon serenely and firmly stated, with seriousness seeping in his voice. Reborn wisely decided to not comment on it as he was thinking to himself.
Reborn had just realized that he didn't know the basics of Skull like age, religion, hobbies, likes, dislikes, etc. He realized how much Skull hadn't shared with them even though they have been together throughout the years.
Skull P.O.V
That was a close one. I thought they hadn't notice that slip of mine. I need to be careful these upcoming days to not let my mouth spout my past.
Walking towards my room, I went inside it and locked the door. My room was different shades of purple like iris, amethyst, lilac, periwinkle, and more. Although the amethyst purple was more prominent. On the left side of the room when you walked in, I had a bed with black covers and the wood was dark oak. Beside it was a bedside table. Some little trinkets was placed orderly on it as my obsessed organizing self can't tolerate unorganized things. On the other side was a table with bookshelves that made with dark oak wood.
On the shelves were some books like Harry Potter series, Shadowhunter series, Black Bird of the Gallows, and some more that I couldn't be bothered to name. Though it was mostly filled with files. Files about every mafia famiglia. Although the Vongola was hard to hack, I managed to get the basics of it. I had a secret compartment everywhere in this room. Behind books that were fake, under my pillows, under my table, etc. On my desk was a laptop that Verde had created? Maybe invented was the right word. It was suitable as the firewalls are nearly impossible bypass.
There were some papers that was neatly stacked beside my laptop that needed to be stored. Eh, maybe later after I shower, refreshed and clean. Two more furniture was in my bedroom. Albeit very hidden, the furniture was still there, It was just built within the wall. Grabbing the remote which was in the drawer of my bedside table, I pointed it on the floor and lo and behold, a secret safe that stored important files. Which was information about myself and some very meaningful and important trinkets.
Opening the safe was a very complicated and difficult process. First lock you need to get through was a voice recognition with a very specific message. When that was done, you need to get through a second one which was a face recognition. Next was a very complicated lock with numbers, then a very specific word, then a password which was very long. A combination of big and small letters, numbers, and symbols. And most importantly, you can't hack this safe to open it. Cause I programmed, coded, and created it.
Clicking the button of the remote control, the safe withdrew and was hidden from anything. Putting the remote control back in the drawer, I knocked a complicated code on the floor next to the door, and a hidden closet showed up. It was made from dark oak. The closet usually held my more normal clothing than of the leather suit. Of course, there are some copies of the leather suit expertly stashed beneath the bed as it was disposable.
Going through my closet, I picked a plain raven black sweater with some midnight black ripped jeans to pair with it. I also went to grab some undergarments. Closing the double doors, the dark oak closet silently withdrew down into the ground. I walked to the bathroom door and opened it. I went inside and locked the door. The bathroom was nothing out of the ordinary.
The wall was covered with lavender purple tiles that was decorated with periwinkle purple floral designs. The floor was white marble. The ceiling was a ink black that was decorated with stars, constellations, and planets. When you first walk in, you would see the toilet first and a rack of towels which varied in colors, but mostly they were jet black, with iris purple in the second.
When you look at the right side, you will see a counter which it's top was black marble with gold lines, with a sink and a mirror. The drawers were a onyx black that was outlined with byzantium purple. Inside were some toiletries like extra toothpastes, toothbrushes, tissues, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, and other things.
On the counter was really organized. There was makeup on it. Foundation, concealer, makeup wipes, lip gloss, lip balm, eyeshadow palettes and others were neatly organized in a small rectangle basket which was a chestnut brown. In another basket held toners, face mask packs, creams, and others. Makeup basket was on the left side while the other was on the right side.
Laying down my outfit on the counter, I grabbed some makeup wipes and a remover. I opened the cap of the makeup remover and poured it onto the makeup wipes. After making sure that the makeup wipes wasn't dripping from overabundant makeup remover, I wiped it on my neck to remove the makeup.
After seeing my neck that was cleaned and can see my tattoos, I rolled my leather suit's sleeve and proceeded to wipe it. Once I could see my tattoos, I opened the trash bin which was on the left side of me, and threw the used makeup wipes. I removed my hazelnut brown contact lens, which revealed a steel grey color with flecks of white and black. I placed my contact lens in their respective places and closed it.
I walked to the rack of towels then proceeded to get an iris purple towel. I walked right past the counter and went to the shower. There was actually a bathtub on the left side of the shower, which was in the corner of the right side of the room. Hanging my towel on the rack, I proceeded to strip off my leather suit and my undergarments, which left me nude. I went to the shower and opened the shower head. Turning the temperature just right, I hopped in and was under the running water, which made my tense muscles relax slightly. The temporary amethyst purple hair dye washed away from my hair and down into drain, which revealed my snow white hair.

After showering, I grabbed the towel and wrapped it on my waist securely. There were still droplets of water dripping from my show white hair and body, but I didn't acknowledge it. I went to the towel rack and picked a jet black towel and proceeded to dry my hair. Once my hair was slightly dry, I left the jet black towel on my neck and went to the counter. I put on my undergarments before removing the towel that was wrapped on my waist. I used the iris purple towel to dry off other parts of my body.
After drying, I put on my raven black sweater and midnight black ripped jeans. Holding the iris purple and jet black towel, I went to the towel rack and hung it to let it dry. After checking the bathroom to see if there were anything out of place, I went outside and walked to my bedside table. I opened the drawer and grabbed a case that was for eyeglasses. Opening it, there was a gold rimmed eyeglasses. It was a transition glasses, meaning that under UV rays, the glasses will turn into sunglasses and when it was not under UV rays, it will be clear.
Putting it on, I felt my eyesight was slightly more clear. I walked to my desk and stored the neatly stacked paper in their respective files. Sitting down on a royal purple chair, I opened my laptop after typing in a long password. On my desktop was some folders. In those folders were documentations of mafia famiglias that was experimenting on children, prostituting, or just generally breaking the laws of Omerta. There was new documentations everyday as he had assigned the Carcassa Famiglia to spy on them and give him documentation. Luckily, they knew how to be secretive and discrete, as I had taught them.
"Just thinking about them makes me feel proud, as they have come a long way to be what they are now." I feel my mouth curl at the thought. Opening the file of a famiglia, I proceeded to click on the new documentation that has appeared.
As the video played, I saw that this was a documentation about the experimentation on children. It made my blood ran cold as I watched the children's faces contort in unbearable pain. I closed my eyes and rubbed them under my glasses. Why did I do this again? Oh yeah, so that I can help the people who were once innocent escape from this world. Although I know that this world would haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Pausing the video, I closed my laptop and sat down on my bed. I then laid down on my pillows, and just let my mind wander. Imagining things, creating new possibilities, and such. I hadn't notice that I had already fell asleep.
