A/N: Hello! To those who didn't read my Author's Note, good for you...maybe? It's basically telling you guys that I drew the Fiancata guardians already. It's posted on my Deviantart that can be found on my profile.
For those who read the Author's Note can see that I deleted that already.
Thank you Past Story, I really appreciate that you review to almost all my chpts. And thank you for the compliment, even though I think that the work is quite poorly done...
By the way, if anyone is bothered to go check something like Google translate, you can go check all the names I gave the guardians, they all have a meaning. (Ya, so is the famiglia name! )
Okay now, move on to the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR
Xanxus is sitting in front of his desk in his office. The visit to the Fiancata Famiglia had already ended and the Varia member had brought Meridionale along with them back to the Varia Mansion. Her room is located next to Xanxus, common for wife's room.
The visit went out smoothly, quite boring actually. They only talked about what they commonly did when they're not in battle as Squalo reminded the Varias not to tell the Fiancata Guardians anything about their battle skills as they were enemy famiglias, who knows when they'll start a war again if things don't go ou well? And it sure will be safer if they don't know anything about their battle styles.
Xanxus is doing his paper work when there's a sudden knock on the door. That's something unusual. Normally, no one will be visiting Xanxus's office unless they were ordered to do so. And as far as Xanxus could remember, he didn't order anyone to come here. The only person that can come in without invitation is Squalo, being the second in command of Varia. But he usually won't bother to knock and just kick the door open. So it's not strange when Xanxus had no idea who it is.
"Come in" he answered to the knock as the door opened.
"Ciaossu" same a sweet voice as Meridionale appeared behind the door.
"What are you doing here for?" Xanxus questioned before looking back to his work.
"Fufu, it's normal for wife to visit her husband at work, am I wrong?" Meridionale questioned back with a smile on her face.
"Don't get too over yourself," Xanxus said, looking up. "we're not even married yet."
"Don't be like that, dear." Meridionale replied, the smile still on her face. "It's just a matter of time before we get married. After all, it has been decided by the two famiglias and nothing can change it."
Xanxus doesn't intend to argue with his soon-to-be-wife any longer so he just go back to his work.
"Oh my, look at the time!" Meridionale exclaimed, looking at the clock in Xanxus's office. "It's this late already. Would you like me to bring you some dinner, my dear?"
This whole "dear" thing is already driving Xanxus crazy on the inside. Who does this woman think she is? Just being the soon-to-be-wife of the strongest mafia famiglia, Vongola's strongest independent squad, Varia's boss' doesn't give her authority to call him "dear" all the time!
"There's no need for that." Xanxus said, trying to keep his cool. It's not as if he cannot just shout at this woman here and tell her to get lost and never appear in front of him again. But it's just that he still don't know her strength yet. And being the sister and guardian of the boss of the famiglia who had a war with them that cause several lost to the Vongola, she just can't be some weakling that can easily die in his hand.
"But my dear.."
"Someone else is ordered to do the job." Xanxus interfered before Meridionale could finish her sentence.
"Huh?" Meridionale looked puzzled as she stare at Xanxus, wondering what he mean by that.
Just then, the door opened as Squalo stepped in with Xanxus's dinner in one hand.
"Here's your dinner, Boss." Squalo said as he placed the meat on Xanxus's desk before exiting through the door and closing it behind him.
Meridionale looked stunned for a while before turning back to Xanxus. "Why is your dinner served by your subordinate instead of a normal maid?" she questioned.
"Whoever is to serve my dinner is none of your business." Xanxus replied as he began to eat his dinner.
Because he's the only one who can actually serve my dinner properly. Xanxus thought.
Meridionale just stared at Xanxus eating his dinner before she headed towards the door, finding there's nothing for her to do here...
Xanxus was glad when the woman finally left his office, even though she didn't even stayed for more than 15 minutes.
Having a wife really is not something that he could handle. Sure, he'll be needing a heir some day and let him succeed the Varia boss' seat. But this is just ... Let's just say that he's not prepared for all these. The days that the Ninth had given him to think things through is totally not a help at all. All he thought about is how ridiculous this is. Things like "love" is just not something that mafias should have. Or at least not something that he would like to have. Well, maybe except towards Squalo. Who won't like the strong swordsman that can accomplish all his orders in perfection? True, Squalo does hurt his ears with his loud voice, but all the contributions he did that made up for it.
But now, things are just different. Why would he want to marry a girl from a supposingly enemy famiglia that he only met?
No matter which way he think about it, this whole marriage is a bad idea. And like what Meridionale said, there's nothing that can change this...
The next day in the Varia Mansion is quite normal. Everyone went on their individually assigned missions, while the rest who didn't get an assigned mission stayed in the mansion.
So, it just so happened that Squalo, Bel and Fran were assigned with missions, while Mammon, Lussuria and Levi got to stay in the mansion with their boss and his soon-to-be-wife.
Mammon is sitting on the couch, counting his money as usual, and Lussuria and Levi were watching television.
"So... how does everyone think of Meridionale-chan?" Lussuria asked, trying to bring up a conversation.
"I don't like her." came Levi's answer.
"None of my business." answered Mammon.
"Oh come on, you guys. Don't be like this." Lussuria said in his gayish voice. "Meridionale-chan is going to be staying with us for- probably the rest of our life. How are we going to live together if we don't treat each other better?"
"Well, I'm still living with you guys even though I don't like you." Mammon replied.
"Aww~, Mammon-chan don't be like that. You're so mean~."
"I don't care."
"Aww~ Mammon-chan~"
"Shut up, Lussuria."
...
-Meanwhile-
"Ushishishi. This mission is far to easy for royalty."
"Rest in peace, you guys that were killed by this stupid fake Prince over here."
*Stab Stab*
"Ushishi. The Prince is neither stupid nor fake, Froggy. Don't let the Prince hear it from you again unless you want to "rest in peace" like all these stupid peasants over here."
"Senpai, itai desu. Yamete kudasai~"
"Voi. Hurry up and let's get back to the Varia Mansion already, you two."
"Ushishi, why should we? Let's just take our time and stay here."
"Me have to agree, Taichou. Me don't feel like going back and staying with that soon-to-be-wife of Boss'."
"Ushishi. See, even Froggy agrees."
"VOI! I don't care about you brats, now hurry get your fucking ass up and go!"
"Ushishi. Chill, Captain. We're just doing you a favour here by returning to the mansion later."
"Huh?"
"Well, Taichou. You probably is the person here among us that wants to go back the least. So we're purposely dragging the time so we can return as late as possible."
"Voi! Why in the world won't I want to go back?"
"Ushishi, because you feel like chopping off that woman's head whenever you see her with Boss?"
"VOI! That's not true! Besides, even if it is true, so what?"
"Well, to prevent tragedy like you killing the sister of our supposingly enemy famiglia's boss and that they'll start a war again, we're specially keeping you here for safety reasons."
"VOI! You're not making sence!"
"Ushishishi. Shut up already, Captain. Just stay. It's not as if anything will happen if we return late."
*whisper* "Besides, it's also for Boss to develop "relationship" with that girl. Even though Me hate doing this."
...
-Meanwhile-
"Here's your coffee, Xanxus dear." Meridionale said politely as she placed a cup of coffee on Xanxus's desk.
"You know, it does make me feel a lot more at ease if you stop calling me "dear"." Xanxus said without looking up from his paper work.
"Fufu, but it's for "relationship working", my dear." Meridionale replied with a smile on her face.
"You can call me that all you want after we got married. But for now, no." Xanxus said, restricting from adding "which I wish will never happen."
"Fufu. Well, since I'm going to call you that sooner or later, I might as well just call you that now. You just need some time to get use to it, dear." Meridionale replied, the smile on her face turned into a smirk.
Xanxus ignored her and continued with his work.
Shouldn't those trashes be back by now? Xanxus thought. How long do they need to just take care of some useless scums?
"Fufu, worried about your subordinates?" Meridionale questioned.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Xanxus questioned back.
"Fufu, I'll take that as a "yes" then."
"Don't decide things on your own."
"Fufu. Xanxus dear, now you're making me confirm my guess even more you know?"
"Shut up."
"Fufu, okay then." Meridionale said as she took her leave towards the door, signaling the end of their conversation.
Xanxus stared at Meridionale's figure as she closed the door before resting his head on his hand.
You useless Shark Trash, what in the world is taking you so long to come back? You're making things a lot more complicated than they originally are you know?
"Squ-chan, Bel-chan, Fran-chan! What took you so long to come back? We were so worried!" Lussuria cried as Squalo, Bel and Fran stepped into the Varia Mansion.
"Only you were worried and actually cared about them, Lussuria." Mammon added. "I'm actually quite glad that they took their time at the mission so that I can have some peaceful time without any shouting or stabbing."
"Ushishi. Mammon are you complaining about the Prince?" Bel asked as he took Mammon in his arms and started pinching his face.
"Bel-senpai, it's not strange for people to complain about you, you know?" Fran questioned. "Me hate your stabbing too."
*Stab Stab*
"Ushishishi. Shut up Froggy, and just let the Prince has his target practise."
"Senpai, itai desu. Shouldn't a prince care for his peasants?"
"Ushishi, you're not the Prince's peasant, Froggy. You're the Prince's pet!"
"Then doesn't that give you more reasons to stop stabbing Me?"
"Ushishi. Shut up, Froggy."
*Stab Stab*
"Mou~ Bel-chan, stop bullying Fran-chan." Lussuria said as he stopped Bel's stabbing. "You guys still haven't explained what took you so long to come back."
"These two brats forced me to stay with them there for "safety reasons"." Squalo explained.
"What "safety reasons"?" Mammon asked.
"Like preventing that Idiot Taichou from getting jealous and chopping off Boss' soon-to-be-wife's head." Fran answered as he pulled out the knives Bel threw onto his hat and bending them before throwing them onto the floor.
"Ushishishi. Don't throw away the Prince's knives, you Frog!"
"OHHH! Is that true, Squ-chan?"
"VOI! Don't talk nonsense, Fran! And Lussuria, of course NO!"
"Aww~ Squ-chan, don't be embarrassed. It's okay to tell Luss-nee how you feel."
"VOI! I told you already I'M NOT JEALOUS!"
"Taichou, you're sounding like you really are now."
"VOI! SHUT UP, FRAN!"
And that's how the Varias ended up having chaos the rest of the day with shoutings, cursing, knives, illusions, sword and a lot of stuff flying around the room.
A/N: Phew, *whip sweat* finally finished this chpt. The ending kind of suck but I cannot think of any better ways to take care of it.
I'm having a hard time dragging this whole "relationship working" things before I actually started on the real things that's gonna happen. Ya, so that means there's more to come!
The actual story haven't actually started yet, and probably need a lot of time-dragging before it starts. So... please be patient and enjoy the story as it goes!
Oh, before I forget, let's say this out loud together!
Se no... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BYAKURAN SAMA!
