Every Squalo ship melts my heart except for XS. That ship heats my entire soul.
Kiss Part 1
Squalo stands before his boss with files of his last missions that he succeeded. "Here's the damn files boss! Anything else you need me to do?"
The man before him is looking through a paper in his hand with a bored expression. He merely grunts, and then tells him, "Nothing trash. Enjoy your day off."
The swordsman stands there for a moment to stare wistfully at the man's lips. He only does it for a second before telling him, "Alright, but if you need me, call!" He turns away to do something for his free time.
The long silver hair male decides to just sleep first before training. He goes to his room, and then lies on his bed. Hours passed, before he wakes up by the swing of his door opening. Foot steps patter on the floor, and then there is a dip on his bed. He feels lips touch his own. He recognizes them. "Voi, what the fuck do you think you're doin' scum?" He opens his eyes to see Belphegor in front of him. Their lips just inches away.
"Ushishishishi~I thought that I'd give you a kiss to wake up for dinner."
Squalo growls in irritation. "Don't make me a substitute for your stupid frog just because he's not here."
The blond frowns at the assumption. He quickly grins to not look defeated. "Shi shi shi, I'm not kissing you because of that. But because you want to kiss boss! I thought that I might as well satisfy you. Isn't that very princely of me? Shi shi shi."
Squalo rolls his eyes by the excuse, and then glares at him. However he realizes that he hasn't kissed someone in a while. His glare softens, and makes himself look more accepting of the situation. Yet, he says as if reluctant, "Go ahead and do what you fuckin' want?"
The prince chuckles, and then leans downward capturing the shark's lips. Bel's kisses were simple to begin with. They are teasing or taunting kisses which the blond knows would annoy the man below him. Squalo falls for it as he tries to put more passion into the kisses. He grabs the younger male's head to keep him still as he kisses him a bit roughly on the lips, and has his tongue seeking entrance. The blond has his tongue enter the other man's mouth first. His tongue is being playful yet also skillful in the other mouth.
Squalo counters with his own tongue which led him to push Bel back on to the bed; the young man's legs sticking out from the bed. The shark's kissing is more urgent and rough to quickly seek dominance over the annoying youngster. The blond doesn't concede to such action despite somewhat enjoying it. He bites down on the man's bottom lip harshly that the older man winces.
He draws back away from the knife wielder. A stern expression plastered on his face as a sign of wanting to discipline this child.
The blond sighs out happily before grinning. His cheeks are flushed red and hair is a mess. "We should be heading to dinner now before they get Mammon here. He'll make us pay a fee to not tell anyone about this." He says sweetly that a heart could be put at the end of those words, "Right Squalo-chan." He gets a punch on the head for that.
Bel and Squalo doesn't have any romantic feelings for each other. They only seek each other for kisses to tame the lust deprived in each other. They wouldn't take another step into having sex since they weren't each others type. Bel likes frogs and Squalo likes ligers.
The swordsman always wonders of what he should do to get Xanxus to take him without restraint unlike those whores he would call for. Many different scenarios went through his mind, yet none seemed realistic enough when a swift dead was the most likely conclusion. When he was lustfully desperate, he came up with stupid and reckless ideas such as just drugging the man so he can take advantage of the situation.
"Why not go through a kissing journey?" A female in a Varia uniform questions.
Squalo is spooked since he was in the middle of walking through a hallway. He didn't realize her existence until she finally spoke to him. "Who the fuck are you, and where the fuck did you come from?"
"I'm one of Levi's troops who carries out spy missions to record conversations. Being completely invisible until speaking is one of my qualities." She responds with a smile. Her appearance is incredibly plain that it isn't worth remembering. "I couldn't help noticing how helplessly in love you are that I decided to give you suggestion."
The silver hair male blushed bright red since he had been called 'helplessly in love'. "VOI! I'm not in love!"
The woman ignored his interjection. "The kissing journey is a process that'll help one find true happiness at the end if done correctly."
"Oi! You-"
"First you must kiss an acquaintance of yours that you are not in love with. The second one is a person from your childhood. The third one is a current friend or close equal. And then you must kiss the second person who you fall in love with whether its on purpose or not. And then in the event, you may end up in the arms of your first love or not. Sex can be included, but is has to be with the person. No other candidates or else you will have to restart. And that's pretty much to it."
Squalo found that process strange, but how the woman made it sound was interesting and possible. "What do you mean may end up?"
"You might end up loving the second person you fell in love with than the first." She replies with a one shoulder shrug. "If you feel bored or desperate, give it a try. I found my true love like that."
"I told you that I'm not in love!" The man still tries to reject the idea even if it is true. He closes his eyes for a second as he shouts, and then finds the stranger gone when he opens them. He wonders if he hallucinated the whole thing.
"I'm right here." She just switched her position to face to his side. The man jumps from the shock. He chases her down the hall with his sword, but then looses her later.
The shark is obviously not going to fall for such a stupid process. It's not like he has any of those. He did have an acquaintance. Bel is considered one so that first one was done. Squalo didn't have anyone from childhood to kiss that he wouldn't mind kissing. However Dino comes to mind. He didn't mind kissing him even if the blond is freakin' bucking horse. But then he didn't have a friend. Yet, he considers Yamamoto to be an equal in swordsmanship. The damn fool is a teen, but Bel was also a teen when they kissed for the first time under a mistletoe for Christmas. He isn't considered a Pedo since the teen is sixteen and sixteen year olds are allowed to kiss older people in Japan as long as they don't have sex right? Did he even care about the law as long as there is consent between them?
Thinking further, he only didn't have a second person who he fell in love with. He has only ever been in love with his boss who is not interested in him at all. Squalo really wants him to though...His heart thumps in excitement when he starts feeling hope that if he does go through this stupid process, without a clue of what will happen throughout, he will have his boss fall in love with him, too.
It was a lot more safer process than drugging his boss after all...
He barges into Xanxus's office. "Boss! I need a favor!" He gets a glass of vodka to the head.
"Favor?" His boss actually sounded interested. "What favor trash?"
Squalo bites back a barrage of complaints to answer, "I need a month or two off to handle some personal business." He figures that it may take a few days to convince one of the candidates to kiss him.
"What business?"
"Just business that I gotta handle okay!? But if you really really" He really stresses the really part, "really need me to handle a mission and not make me come back just for some stupid thing you want me to do, I'll come back immediately! Okay boss?!"
Xanxus didn't appreciate his attitude, but after having some undefinable alcohol in his system, he felt susceptible. "Sure. Now get the fuck out trash and have Lussuria bring more of that liquor he bought me."
Squalo felt like this is a sign that he has to do this journey! He has to go force some men to kiss him so he can have Xanxus in his arms! None of that would make sense to a stranger, but he gave no fucks to give! He goes to Bel who is at him room and throwing his knives at a stuff doll of Fran. "Oi, prince, I need a goodbye kiss."
Bel looks at the man as if he's gone into where insanity only existed without a borderline. Despite that, he grins, "Where are you going?"
"None of your damn business." The shark scowls at him with want in his eyes for that kiss to start his journey.
The prince chuckled, "Then you won't get a kiss from your most prized prince."
The silver eyed man rolls his eyes and replies shortly, "I'm going off on a journey. I'll tell you all about it if it goes the way I want it."
The storm guardian ponders on this, and accepts it. He shrugs before pulling Squalo by the collar to have the man bend downward towards his lips. They have the same kiss as that time on the bed except this one is more earnest as if they will miss each other. They looked like it when they have their arms wrapped around each other.
They pulled away huffing for air. The swordsman gives him his adieu. The knife wielder turns towards the window-doors that led to the balcony. "Sempai, I didn't know you and Squalo-sempai are like that. Two annoying people are really meant for each other." The frog illusionist had his blank expression but their was the smallest hint of jealousy in his tone.
"Ushishishi~" Bel ignores his rudeness to approach Fran having his arms ring around him. "Jealous?"
"Nah, just wondering of why Squalo-sempai didn't turn into a shark since your kisses turns people into animals. I'm an example." Fran kisses him on the lips and then turned himself into a frog.
Bel didn't understand of why he likes this idiot in the first place. He chuckles as he has his knives in between his fingers. "You're absolutely right stupid frog, and I do that so I can kill them and eat them as my prey."
"You're really sick sempai." Fran comments before hopping away from the knives.
Squalo calls Dino's cellphone. The horse gave him it back at the hospital at the guardian battle to keep in touch for just in case. The swordsman kept it as a sign of thanks with his shreds of dignity from being not purposefully saved by his men.
"Hello?"
"Is that you bucking horse?!"
"Ah, Squalo. Can't you be a bit more quiet when using a phone. It's like having you on speaker, not that I mind."
"Shut up! Where are you? I need to ask you something!" Squalo went straight for the point. He's never one to walk on eggshells anywhere.
"I'm on a plane heading to Japan right now to visit my cute little brother (Tsuna). What do you need to ask me about?"
The shark growled, but realized that that was convenient since he the baseball nut is also there. It's an even more convincing sign that he has to do this! "VOI, I'll be there, too, in a couple of hours! I better not find you at that brat's place when I get there!" The swordsman wants to avoid going to the kid's place since he knows its littered with annoying people. He hangs up on the blond before he goes off to purchase his ticket, and flies off.
The silver hair beauty calls him again when he lands. It turns out that the horse is heading to the brat's high school since he is meeting with a former student. He is going to be on the rooftop.
Squalo goes over there to find that the stupid horse where he promised to be. Dino was leaning against the fence with his man, Romario, talking on the cellphone at a corner. The blond smiled happily like a fool at the swordsman. "Yo, Squalo! It's been a long time since we've seen each other. You needed to ask me something that we couldn't talk over the phone about?"
The swordsman approached him. He didn't want to explain the whole situation since it was stupid. He just went for questioning instead. "Hey, stupid horse! Do you have a lover?"
"Eh?"
"Don't 'Eh?' me! I asked you a simple question! Do you have a lover or not?!" It shouldn't have mattered, but Squalo needed this to go smoothly if he wanted to make persuading strategies to get those lips against his.
"Hm?" Dino smirks. "Why? Did you fall in love with me Squalo?"
"No way you idiot! Now just answer or I'm gonna beat the shit out of you!"
"Alright. Alright." He chuckles. He gets off the fence to face the man. "I don't have any lover right now."
"Good! Cuz I need you to kiss me, and that's it! Don't ask why! Just do it!" The swordsman ordered rashly.
"A kiss from Squalo, the swords emperor?" Dino couldn't ask questions though he'd really like to. Yet, today was a good day for him, and he's been wanting to kiss the guy for a while. He always thought that the silverette beauty was rather cute with his loud and rough attitude that it would pierce the horse's heart if he'd get to see the man blushing because of him. Seeing the opportunity now, he goes for it. "It must be my lucky day. Alright, here goes."
The man cups the other lovely man's face to keep him still as he plants a soft kiss on his. He starts out nice and sweet with a few soft kisses which left the emperor impatient. Squalo realizes that he's been letting people take the lead, so he tries to turn the tables to have the blond breathless. Yet, Dino slips one hand down to his neck and the other behind his head to make the kiss deeper and more sensual. The shark is surprised by how hot and and suffocating the man's kiss was.
The Cavallone boss's tongue's movements are deft and welcoming. Squalo couldn't stop his knees from buckling that he had to wrap his arms around the man's neck. Dino slid the hand that was on the neck to his waist, and the other hand on the head eventually followed.
Squalo had to pull back for air, and whispered pathetically, "Wait." Dino smiled warmly before submerging them in another breath taking kiss. He pushes the Varia's second in command against the fence. One of his knees made way in between those legs to bump and grind. That elicited a surprised and appreciative moan.
The swordsman is so ready to grab the man to go to a hotel room since sex was allowed during the journey. But then he finds Dino pulled away, and his face meeting a hard class with the blunt end of a baton. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Squalo looks to the abuser to see that it was no other than, Hibari Kyoya.
"Such shameless acts on school grounds must be disciplined. I'm going to bite you to death." The cloud guardian gets in position to fight.
"VOI! You little brat!" Squalo got his sword ready for the fight, yet Dino jumps in.
"Wait, you guys! We can settle this without fighting!" He knew that that is fruitless to say, yet he doesn't want to cause any trouble if this fight goes beyond the school grounds.
"Get out of my way herbivore." Kyoya demands.
Squalo usually doesn't run away from a fight, but he got what he needs. "Tch, forget it! I already got what I needed!" He walks away.
Dino moves to stop him. "Wait Squalo!" But then the door slams in front of his face. The blond feels that he has lost the chance of a century since he felt that he isn't going to ever have a chance to get to the other step with the shark. Even if it isn't serious or not at first, they could still try.
"Haneuma, don't think that you can walk out of being bitten to death."
Something in Dino snapped at that moment. He usually keeps his cool, but right now he is seriously pissed. He turns around and cries out, "Bitten for what?! This is not even your property to fight! It's that middle school's building! You always selfishly try to keep things your way, but sometimes you need to get out of bothering other people's business! Dammit Kyoya!" The blond runs after Squalo.
The disciplinary leader is surprised by the first time that he sees the horse truly angry at him. It then irritates him that it was over a guy like that. Romano just stands from where he was to begin with to avoid being beaten. He stays as a ghost until the student goes away. But as he stands there, he notices the young man's facial expression.
"Wait Squalo!" Dino finally caught up to him. "I'm sorry about that! That was my former student that I was supposed to meet!"
"I know already! You told me over the phone remember! And why did you even chase after me stupid! I only came here to kiss you!"
"Ah, I just wanted to..." He didn't want to say that he wanted to see if he was okay. That was going to put a dent on the man's pride. The blond isn't sure of what to say.
"Oi, hurry up and tell me! I'm already pissed enough that you lied to me!" Squalo shouts impatiently.
"Huh? Lied?" The Cavallone boss was confused by that.
"Yeah stupid horse! You told me that you didn't have a lover! But that fucking brat was obviously jealous!" The shark ground baring his teeth. He turns to leave a bewildered horse.
Dino sighs as he takes a seat on the school's floor. Romano catches up to him. "Boss, ready to leave?"
"Romano..."
"Hm?"
"Was Kyoya jealous?"
"...I'm not sure. But he did have this peculiar look earlier after you left." Dino looks up at his right hand man who had his fingertips on his chin thoughtfully. "Well, how do I put this. After you left, he looked rather irritated but not in the sense that he wants to bite you because you talked back at him, but because you talked back at him like that."
"I see..." He sighs. "I should apologize. I was the only who called him out to this school because I wanted to see my cute little brother for a bit when he got out of school to know that I was here. But not right now. I should let him cool off. He probably doesn't want to see me unless he gets to bite me to death...Actually I wouldn't mind a beating from him now. I deserved it. Did he leave?"
"Yes. But we should be able to catch up to him."
"Good." The horse gets up. "Don't follow me Romano. It's something I got to handle between me and Kyoya. I'll call you when I need medical attention." He sets off.
The older man thinks to himself that Dino may not be able to use his phone once the kid was done with him.
The blond catches up to the student at the school's entrance. "Kyoya!" He cries out. The brunette stops, and turns around. Dino says apologetically, "I'm sorry for shouting at you like that. I shouldn't have when it was me who put you through the trouble of coming here. I shouldn't have let someone else messed that up when I know you don't like to have your time wasted, or being told of what to do. I'll do anything to make it up to you so please accept my apology!"
Hibari stares at him for a moment, and then replies, "Okay." Dino felt like a miracle happened but then he adds, "But you're to cut off all interactions with that herbivore."
"Herbivore? You mean Squalo?" Dino takes out his whip to block an attack to the face. He is met with a terrifying facial expression from the stronger guardian.
"Don't you dare say his name in my presence either. It's your choice. It's either you cut all interactions from him or me. You have til the end of the day to choose. I'll be at the shrine when you make your choice." Hibari then leaves.
Dino is completely shocked by the ultimatums. The blond knew that cutting interactions from either man would be easy since his work mainly complies to work with just the Vongola boss for the most of the time. Yet he could go to see Squalo more since they both reside in Italy. But they both have busy schedules while Hibari practically makes his own.
But the decision wasn't a matter of who'll he get to see more of, but who he looks forward to seeing the most. That was a no-brainer to him as he smiles.
Squalo is still fuming pissed for being hit by the cloud brat, but then he is also glad that he isn't wasting time with a fight. Xanxus is more important.
The man goes to the sushi shop that he knew that Yamamoto's father ran. "Squalo!" The baseball idiot who's behind the counter helping is glad to see him. That smile both irritated yet also brightened the fellow swordsman's day.
"VOI! I need to talk to you katana brat!"
"Oho!" Yamamoto's father lays out a tray of sushi. "Are you sure that you don't want to try out our new menu. It's on the house." The sushi chef had been told of how the silverette had been of much help to Yamamoto, and hasn't been given thanks yet.
Squalo wants to deny this, since he's here to have Yamamoto! Not sushi! But the shark he is, he couldn't deny the opportunity for free fish. He takes a seat and gives his thanks. He eats while other customers took their seat and was tended to.
The swordsman takes his first bite, and his eyes widens by how his taste buds wakes up to the waves of umami. He stuffs his face with multiple sushi, yet chews it slowly to savor the taste in his mouth. He tries to hold back a tear of how he has entered heaven's sushi bar.
Soon Yamamoto came over to him with the foolish grin of his. "I see that you like the new menu huh?"
The silverette beauty doesn't say anything since he doesn't want to accidentally spit out any of the delicious fish. Instead he glares at him hoping to give off an air of intimidation, but to the oblivious guy, he saw a cute stubborn shark.
Yamamoto's dad pats him on the back. "Of course he does son! You made it after all! Ever since you improved your sword fighting technique, you've been making better sushi that even more customers are coming in! Hahahaha!"
Squalo gulps down. "Voi! If its his sword skills that's making the sushi better, then I bet that I can do better!"
"Oh, you know how to make sushi, Squalo?" Asks the katana brat.
"Damn right I do!" Someone has to make sushi for the boss when he craves for it. The Varia once held a sushi contest to see who could make the best sushi for him.
"Then let's have a competition! My dad can be the judge!" The three all agreed. The rest just stares with wonder and curiosity.
When it came to closing time, the three men went into the kitchen. Each of the swordsman had a blade that is appropriate for the competition. They had several ingredients before them on a table that stood between them. When the sushi master swung his hand down, they started. Within a minute, they each prepared their dish of several different types of sushi. Yamamoto's father only took one from each that looks the finest to his trained eyes. He carefully taste the sushi before gulping it down. He ponders and then announces, "It's a tie!"
"What?!" Squalo is both angry but also happy considering that the katana brat has been making sushi longer and more frequent then he has.
Yamamoto is really impressed. "Wow, Squalo, you really did know how to make sushi!"
"I told you! But I want a rematch!" The proud man isn't going to take ties. It a win or lose situation when it comes to him.
The baseball athlete grabs a plate and places their sushi on it. "Dad, we're going to my room okay?" His father acknowledges it, and goes off to do his own duties.
"Are you ignoring me?! I said that I want a rematch!" Squalo follows to his room anyway.
Yamamoto looks over his shoulder at him. "Sure, but didn't you come here to tell me something? Or are you actually just visiting me? I'm fine either way!" He flashes that foolish grin again.
Squalo winces since it's true. He had let his competitive spirit make him forget his true objective. He absolutely hated how it's the katana brat who brings out that spirit in him when he needs to concentrate on other things like kissing him.
When they reached their room, Squalo puts his blade against a corner of the room before they sat down on the floor. Yamamoto tries out Squalo's sushi. "Wow, yours is really good! How did you learn to make sushi?"
"A cooking book! Voi, I came here on important business!"
"Like what?"
The swordsman blushes. He didn't mean to add the word 'important'. It made the situation more weird. He steels himself to scream, "I need you to kiss me!"
"How come?"
"DON'T ASKS HOW COME?!" Squalo could trust Yamamoto, but it's too embarrassing. "Just kiss me dammit!"
Yamamoto stares at him as he processes the situation for a second. He is curious, but then its an interesting situation to get in. He has no problem with kissing a guy. Especially a talented swordsman like Squalo, the swords emperor. "Okay."
He leans forward and gives a kiss...and that's it. Squalo stares at him, "VOI! Is that it?!"
The baseball nut grins at him goofily. "You did just say to kiss you."
"Tha-that" he growls, and then tackles down the teen. He wants a real kiss dammit! He devours the younger swordsman's mouth below him. Yamamoto feels how those lips kisses him roughly. He feels his mouth pried open to have a tongue whisk skillfully into his warm wet cavern. They both taste the taste of good sushi on their tongue.
Squalo doesn't relent from his voyage with his lips and tongue until he has to gasp for air. Yamamoto is flush red with a face of wonder. "Wow, that was quite a kiss Squalo." He sits up with the other swords man straddling his hips. "But I bet I can do better." There's a competitive glint in those misty brown eyes.
The sword emperor was going to retort, but then he is met with a kiss that teased him. His mouth was opened, so a tongue easily invades his own cavern. While Squalo tries to counter attack, Yamamoto's tongue has shown to be clever in its strokes and caresses. Squalo relents to the tongue as he moans into the kiss. He hates how the katana brat has proven to be a better kisser.
The silverette beauty doesn't mind that he is leaned back onto the uncomfortable floor as long as the kiss goes on. But he did mind that a hand is caressing upward on his skin from under his shirt. He grabs the forearm, yet finds his nipple rubbed in between to finger tips. He couldn't move away from the kiss to object to this. He finds another hand going for his other nipple. Squalo couldn't use his prosthetic hand to stop it.
His own sword was too far for him to reach. Yamamoto caught hold of his other nipple and tweaks it like the other. The swordsman underneath him reluctantly arches his back to the touches. The swordsman above then finally let's Squalo gasp for air.
"VOI! What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" He questions furiously while his face is still reddened.
"Oh, you don't like it?" Yamamoto asks this while still playing with the man's nipples.
"Don't asks that! More like, why the fuck are you doing this you brat!"
The teen grins, "I thought that you wouldn't mind after giving me a kiss like that. Plus I learned that in order to do naughty things with a shark, you have to take completely dominant control over them."
"I'm not a fucking animal!" He says this yet still does nothing about the teen's fingers rubbing his nipples side to side.
"But you don't mind right?" Again, those light brown eyes become misty again which always seem to exude sexiness. Yamamoto licks and sucks at a nipple before he gets an answer. One of his hands caresses the building tent of his pants. Shit, he's really reacting to this guy.
Squalo tries to deny that he is, but then that deft hand knew how to get him rock hard that he's ready to have his zipper unzipped and be stroked. The proud swordsman doesn't care if he's on the bottom. He'll ride the motherfucker to claim a point that he is still in power despite having his ass fucked by his teenage cock.
Yamamoto reaches for his zipper. The door slides open, "Hey baseball freak, I came here to help you with your homework..." Gokudera had his head down before he looks up to see two rain guardians getting naughty. There is a moment of silence for everyone.
Then the easy-going Yamamoto says, "Uhm, can you come later? I'm in the middle of something." Squalo punches him in the face that has the spiky brunette fly back onto his butt. "Ow!"
"Shut up! If you plan on doing something like this then lock the fuckin' door!"
"But this was pretty much improvised." He chuckles which led to Squalo screaming while he's lightly making excuses and suggestions and whatnot which frustrates the other swordsman more.
Gokudera is still standing there staring at the two arguing(?). He doesn't understand why he's feeling strange. He knows that he should be just shock, disgusted, and angry because he came here to waste his time in helping the baseball idiot with his damn homework! But instead he feels...he does feel angry, but not the type of anger that he's entirely familiar with and that frustrates him. He clenches his fists, and turns around. "I'm going then. Sorry for the interruption." He quickly walks away from sight and then dashes out of the place.
Squalo notices his stiff behavior, and scowls. It's happening again except he's not the one walking away. He gets up from the ground as he arranges his clothes neatly on himself.
"Ah, you're leaving?" The teen sounds like he doesn't want him to leave, yet understands. It's awkward after getting caught after all.
"Yeah! And you better go get your boyfriend before he decides to blow shit up." The varia swordsman doesn't care that the bomber idiot did blow shit up, yet he thought it's something to say. He curses himself for not asking if the baseball retard has a lover because if he does have to see the grey-hair dumbass again, there's going to be unneeded annoying tension.
Yamamoto laughs at his assumption. "Gokudera's not my boyfriend!"
"Really?!" says the sword emperor sarcastically. "He sure looked like he's been cheated on. Whatever! I came for what I wanted. I'm leaving!"
"Wa-wait Squalo!"
"What?!"
"What do you mean he looked cheated on?" Yamamoto somewhat understood that phrase.
"Ask him yourself!" The shark finally leaves the confused male who decides to ask Gokudera tomorrow.
It was getting late that Squalo walks to his hotel room. However he is stopped by Dino who meets him at a crosswalk. The swordsman doesn't want to speak with him, but then was going to be treated to a free private meal if he does come.
"So that's what he said." Dino explained the ultimatums that Hibari set up for him. "I know what I want to chose, but in the same time I don't want to chose it. What do you think Squalo?"
"You're a complete retard; that's what I think!" The varia second in command slams his jug of beer. "Why the fuck are you letting some brat choose who the fuck you see or not! Just cuz you're in love with him, doesn't mean that you gotta yield to every fuckin' choice he gives you!"
"Yeah but-"
"No buts! Honestly, I don't give a damn if I don't get to see your stupid face again! But hell if I'm going to be known to have gone to school in the same grade as you who's too pussy to stand up to him!" Squalo chugged on his beer like a true man!
"That's not really where I was getting at Squalo. I just wanted to know about how you really feel about me, and what did you think of that kiss."
The rain guardian choked on his beer. He hacked and coughed with the blond rubbing in between his shoulder blades. "VOOI! Are you asking for a beating?! How do I feel?! Don't be a cocky ass! I only kissed you because I needed to kiss you!"
"To test of whether you love me or not?" Dino winks at him.
The swordsman couldn't hold back a blush. He gets off his chair with his sword ready. "I'm going to kill you!" Romano checks on the time while he hears the sounds of rampage at the private table nearby.
The two twenty-four year olds are at a standoff in the wrecked room. Dino with his whip and Squalo with his sword. The blond keeps teasing the silverette who shouts out deadly nasty threats that are just cute to the Cavallone boss. Eventually the fighting came to a stop when the horse concedes to defeat by giving up. Squalo clicks his teeth at him in annoyance from not having the fight end good for him.
Squalo kicks the table that was toppled over to the ground among the fighting. He then feels curious. "Hey," He calls out to Dino who's putting his whip away. "Shouldn't you be going to that little runt now with your answer?"
The turtle owner chuckles. "Why? Want me out of your life already Squalo, or do you want to know of whether I chose you?"
The swordsman is pissed, but then he looks at Dino. He isn't in love with the horse like how he is madly in love with Xanxus that he is doing a stupid journey like this. The horse also didn't give him that special competitive spirit that the stupid katana brat would give him. He's not even a teammate like Bel. However what the bucking horse does give him is an outlet from his crazy life. He's not a vongola or a varia, and he is a decent fighter. Even having dinner like this makes Squalo feel like he's been somewhere else in the world for once, and that felt...nice. Almost relaxing. As far as relaxed that the silverette could.
Thinking that way, he subconsciously asks, "Voi, what do you even like about me?"
Dino blinks and then smiles, "I don't know. We never really spend that much time together back at high school since you were such a loud brute."
"And you were a hopeless clumsy retard." growls Squalo.
A chuckle and then a reply, "I guess I just like this. Us. When it's just us, I feel excited and happy." Squalo feels his cold heart well up a little since that is true. "Your also cute when your angry." That ruined the mood. You never call a proud man cute! The two engage in a scuffle again.
After that, Dino ends up at the shrine while the sun is setting. Hibari is sitting down on the stoor floor with his back against a column.
The cloud guardian tells him before he takes a step of the stone steps, "If you're here to give me your answer, don't bother. I changed my mind. You don't have to make a choice."
"Huh? Why's that?" The horse arches an eyebrow at the unsuspected turn of events. He feels a little let down because he's thought this through with different scenarios in his head.
"I made a mistake to have given you those ultimatums. I made you think that you were worth my company if you had made one of your choices."
"Really? Ah, but I must say that it's kind of a relief, because I chose the latter. The third choice that is." says Dino. Hibari looks at him with slight interest, confusion and acknowledgement. "That you would accept my apology for doing that to you, and then accepting my promise that I will never let that happen again or let anything stand in the way of our meetings unless something truly-can't be rescheduled-important comes up. So?" The stupid good-hearted horse smiles warmly at the discipline committee leader.
Kyoya looks at him with an indescribable expression that is soon laced with a smirk. The young adult stands up, walks down the steps, and then turns away from the horse to walk off. As he does walk away, he replies, "The next time you do something like that, I will bite you to death."
That's a yes.
Squalo is sleeping on his bed, but then he is disturbed when he felt the edge of his bed sink. He stays still as he feels a warm breath over his face. It's close to his lips.
He hears Dino chuckles. "Just like sleeping beauty or snow white with a twist of the little mermaid."
"Ushishishi," That's Bel's creepy laugh, "The sleeping shark princess. It's obvious that I'm the one who should kiss him awake since I'm the prince."
"Mah, mah, but I want to kiss him, too. Squalo is really sexy isn't he?" Yamamoto questions sexily. Squalo grimaces as he can practically feel lasers shooting from their lustful eyes.
The sword emperor doesn't open his eyes simply because he doesn't feel like it. He does want to scream and shout and hurl his sword at them, but strangely now, he feels that he shouldn't move.
"We can't all kiss him. I'm more of a monogamous guy." Dino tells the other two.
"Ushishishi, I'm the same. I'd kill anyone who dares lay a hand on what's mine, unless it is for my amusement, since I'm a prince."
Yamamoto asks, "So which one of us will it be? Squalo can't wake up unless we kiss him."
Dino replies, "It's a fairy tale dream after all. Only his true love's kiss can wake him up, so I guess we can all take turn and see if he wakes up. Just a quick kiss though. No more than five seconds and no tongue."
"Sounds good to me!" says the baseball idiot.
"Hm, fine. But I will go first since I'm the prince."
Bel kisses him. Nothing happens. Dino kisses him. Nothing happens. Yamamoto kisses him. Nothing happens.
"I guess it's not any of us." Yamamoto sounds slightly disappointed.
"Of course it's not you baseball freak!" Gokudera's voice is heard from afar.
"What are you doing Haneuma? I will bite you to death." That annoying cloud guardian declares.
"Bel-sempai, stop playing with Squalo-taichou!" Fran shouts in his monotonous voice.
"But how are we going to wake up Squalo?" Dino asks with concern.
"Doesn't matter." Kyoya replies and sounds like he came closer. Dragging and complaints are heard, and then gone.
"Gokudera!" Yamamoto's skittering footsteps becomes distant in hearing range.
"Ushishishi, I guess that my princely powers wouldn't work on a peasant after all."
"What are you talking about fake prince-sempai? Of course your kiss won't work since you're not a prince. Ow. That hurt fake prince-sempai."
Then everything goes silent. Squalo is both glad that they're gone, but also lonely. He knew that Xanxus wouldn't come to kiss him awake. The man didn't look at him that way. His boss only looks at him with a glare of acknowledgement that leads to annoyance. No different with the others except for the disgust for Lussuria and Levi when they'd be themselves.
The silverette beauty lies there on his bed unable to awaken forever since he knew he could not have a true love to awaken him from this curse. He doesn't even remember of how he gotten this curse in the first place. A fairy tale dream...If he's dreaming then he should be able to open his eyes. The man forces his eye lids to part for him to see.
His eye lids does feel heavy, but not too much that he can't open them. As he tries, he begins to feel an unfamiliar warmth coming near to his side. He hasn't realized of how cold his body felt until that warmth began to envelope his side. It is slowly rushing like waves throughout his body. A warmth that submerges him in a pleasurable joy that he hasn't felt before. It is both bewildering yet addictive.
His lips feel like soft static electricity is dancing on them as if pulling them to a magnet. He slowly and finally cracks his eyes open to see someone before him who sounds worried. Yet, it didn't matter because his lips needs to be touched.
"Squ-Squalo-san?! Are you okay?! I'm so sor-" Tsuna stops when he feels the swordsman's lips against his. Everyone at the scene stares with their own expression of surprise.
A few minutes earlier...
Squalo doesn't have a second person who he's deeply in love with. No one who could churn his heart by the unrequited feelings that he did feel for his one true boss, Xanxus. He isn't even sure of where he should look or what he should do to find this person. He thought the simplest thing that he could do is take a walk since staying in the hotel making stupid ideas to find true love was making him frustrated and embarrassed. He was practically making romance stories in his head!
As he take a walk, he notices the bomber idiot shouting at the baseball idiot. Squalo notices that he randomly took paths that conveniently led to where the vongola fake lives. He could clearly hear the words, "Idiot!", "I hate you!", and a "Leave me alone!" Squalo sighs through his nose as he rolls his eyes. He could clearly hear the crack in the tone which means a stretch of a lie. Yamamoto looks like he's trying to calm the bomber down, but then dynamites are seen and thrown.
He gets closer without a care that his presence is going to make the bomber angrier. The brat is being too annoying that he wouldn't feel right if he didn't beat some sense into that gray-hair retard. But then the vongola's room suddenly blows up with some sort of glass concoction flying outward.
The swords emperor sees it coming towards him. He has his sword ready, yet the bomber retard throws his dynamite at him once he sees him. Gokudera is angry that Squalo put a stupid idea in Yamamoto that he was jealous and actually liked the baseball idiot. Squalo is given a small time gap between the two objects. He defuses the bombs, yet the glass hits him in the head. The force behind that hit knocks him out.
Tsuna, Reborn and his mother and friends (Gokudera, Yamamoto, Haru, Kyoko, Ryohei, Lambo, I-pin, Fuuta, Bianchi and Giannini) goes outside to see where the glass concoction went. The sky guardian spots Squalo and a broken glass beside him. "Squalo?!" He runs to the swordsman and then kneels beside him. The swordsman head is covered in both red and pink liquids.
The sixteen-year-old shouts out to the man to see if he can wake up after a blow to the head. Squalo does and kisses him now that he's been hit by a love potion created by Giannini.
