Sometimes Xanxus had to wonder why he married an idiot like you.

It was a quiet, peaceful day in the Varia headquarters. Well, as quiet and peaceful as it could get with them. Xanxus sighed and brought a glass of whisky to his lips. Finally, a day without those pieces of trash messing anything up-

Crash!

Boom!

Fsshhh!!!

"VOOOIIII!!!"

"Shishishishi~"

"Oh my, Boss isn't going to be very happy when he sees this~"

"Hey, look! It's smoking! Is that supposed to happen?"

The Varia leader growled and stood up. He kicked his chair back and strode out of his office and towards the place of chaos, commotion, and destruction: the kitchen.

Squalo, who had what looked like tomato sauce dripping in his hair, was yelling at a laughing Belphegor, who was watching Lussuria try to put out a fire on the stove in vain. He only succeeded in making the fire grow larger.

You were examining a pan of burned something-or-the-other, carefully poking it with a fork, oblivious to the riot around you. After eyeing it suspiciously, you scraped the "food" (for lack of a better word) in the garbage with a sigh. God knows what would have happened if you had decided to keep it to feed to someone.

You turned around to see a very irate Xanxus by the doorway, and waved your arms.

"Hi, Xanxus!" you cheered, skipping over to him to grab his hand. He growled.

"What. Is going. On. In here."

"Well, you see, Belphegor was hungry, so he made Lussuria make some pasta for him, but then Squalo came in and started complaining that he was hungry too, and they got into a fight, but then I came in and wanted to make something for you too, but I got distracted by Bel and Squalo fighting and Lussuria's comments, and the food started to burn, and here we are!" You finished off with a flourish. Xanxus mentally rolled his eyes, keeping his stoic and irritated expression.

You continued," But the bad thing is, I ruined your food, so obviously you can't eat it..." You gazed sadly at the garbage can. In the background, Squalo was attempting to kill Belphegor, his hair reeking of tomatoes. Belphegor was throwing his knives around, laughing and grinning like the crazy sadistic prince he was, while Lussuria fussed over the charred stove.

Sometimes, Xanxus really had to wonder why he married an idiot like you. But when he saw how your eyes shone when they spotted him, how happy you looked when he entered the kitchen, and how his heart jumped when your small, warm fingers squeezed his, he had his answer.

He was in love with you.

L-chan: Well, there's my first update in...what, a month? 2 months? ^^''
I sincerely apologize for calling the reader an idiot.
I'm also sorry that I haven't updated lately. School's a killer. And exams are coming up again in March....TT_TT

I'll take requests again, but you might have to wait for my homework to magically vanish and inspiration to strike. Please remind me if you've already requested something.

RQ time!!! Haven't done this is awhile, which is why I want to ask a random question now.
RQ of drabble 44: Do you believe that Hibari and Fon are actually long-lost brothers, or it's just some freakishly huge coincidence that they look so alike?
