Xanxus -x- Haru

"Hahi! You were almost the tenth generation mafia boss?" Xanxus cringed a little at Haru's 'almost.'

"Yes, idiot woman, what of it?" Xanxus growled back at her.

"Haru meant nothing by it! Haru just thinks that we have something in common," the girl trailed off.

Xanxus quirked one eyebrow and asked sarcastically, "You were almost the tenth generation mafia boss too, trash?" He barked a short laugh.

Haru put both hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks, "Haru is not trash, she is treasure! And I just meant…that we both came in second. That's all…."

Haru's eyes were suddenly watery and she looked down in embarrassment.

Xanxus suddenly felt awkward, usually tears did nothing to him, he fidgeted and forced out an answer. "Why would treasure come in second? Tch…"

He found himself blushing slightly and immediately forced the feeling down.

Haru looked up in surprise, "Haru wanted to be the Tenth Generation mafia boss' wife, but she came in second." She squeezed her eyes shut and two tears fell down her cheeks.

Haru's eyes flew open as she felt two fingers on each cheek, brushing the tears away.

She stared up at Xanxus, who looked just as surprised as she did, maybe even more so. "Sorry, my hands moved on their own." Xanxus mumbled and immediately shoved his hands in his trenchcoat pockets.

Haru giggled at the awkward move.

She smiled and reached up to pet his raccoon tail hanging by his neck, he stiffened but didn't move to push her away.

She smiled gently and said, "I get my fur for my cosplays from the same craft store, I bet."

Xanxus suddenly laughed heartily, "Childish girl, I killed that raccoon myself. Have you never killed anything before?"

Haru looked thoughtful, "No, only bugs." Haru's eyes got distant as she started to speak her fantasy aloud…"Haru and Xanxus both wearing safari hats with leaves pinned on them. Haru will look through the binoculars while Xanxus takes aim at an animal and shoots. The loud bang will scare Haru and she will jump! Xanxus will smile and put his arm around Haru to…"

"Stop there, idiotic woman." Xanxus growled. "Hunting is nothing like that."

"Hahi! Haru was not even close?" The girl looked devastated.

Xanxus let rip a feral grin, "Of course not, it's much better than that. Come on, I'll show you."

They both blushed as Xanxus grabbed her hand and pulled her off toward his big gun safe.
