Ello everyone! Cafe here with a new chapter of Seven deadly sins. This time its Xanxus X Squalo yayz!

Disclaimer: Sorry I don't own anything

oooOOO0000OOOoooo

Xanxus sat in his 'throne' as he usually was. Whiskey bottle in hand, he sighed waiting for the departed rain guardian to return. Squalo had been previously sent to go buy Xanxus some more alcohol since his usual supply had run low.

Where is that stupid piece of trash? Xanxus thought.

He wasn't worried of him of course. Xanxus wouldn't allow himself to have any feelings for that piece of trash. He didn't really care for anyone in the Varia. Well, that was what he always told himself. Everyone, even Mammon knew that was a complete lie. He had a different opinion of everyone in the Varia and cared at least a bit for each of them, even Levi.

He thought Bel was a sadistic serial killer but wouldn't admit he thought of him a bit like a son.

Mammon was an annoying greedy Arcobeleno but he was valuable since he did all of the annoying financial paperwork. It was a headache Xanxus didn't have to deal with.

Levi a than was a creepy stalker-ish person but Xanxus could deal with that. Levi never hesitated to do something for Xanxus.

Lussuria, even though he was a Gaylord Xanxus valued him for keeping the Varia together as a family. Lussuria kept them together as one dysfunctional family and that's how it always would be.

And then there was Squalo. Squalo had always been Xanxus' right hand man from the time they were young and he swore allegiance to him. Xanxus would always deny Squalo as a lover but couldn't deny the pleasure he felt those late nights he and Squalo spent together. Those nights where all could be heard were racing breaths heartbeats, moan, and the occasional call of Xanxus' name.

Xanxus was completely lost in thought when Bel knocked on the door. The knock was a single hit against the door but that one little sound changed the entire world to Xanxus but he didn't know it yet.

"Come in" Xanxus grumbled, hoping it was Squalo.

Much to his dismay Bel peeked in through the door.

"What do you want trash? And where's that shark scum?" Xanxus said angrily.

"Boss um, you should come here quick it's about Squalo…"

Xanxus raised an eyebrow. The annoying Prince didn't sound a thing like himself. His grin was gone and was replaced with almost an upset expression. Xanxus didn't like anyone disturbing his laziness. He didn't like anything that required getting off his throne but the look on Belphegor's face made him get up.

"What is it, trash?" he said as he walked to the door where Bel stood.

Bel was lost for words. He couldn't bear to tell his boss what had happened. He merely turned around and walked down the hall hoping Xanxus would follow him.

"Oi trash, where are we going?" Xanxus said as they walked down the hallway. Bel couldn't say anything. The usually annoying sadistic prince was being extremely quiet and not like himself. Xanxus didn't like this.

What could have happened to make the kid like this?

Belphegor silently opened the door that lead to the living room. He had already seen the scene but he didn't want to see it again. He merely stood to the side with his head hanging down and his face in a blank expression. Xanxus couldn't stand it anymore. It was driving him crazy how the kid was acting. Only when he saw the scene before him did he realize why Prince the Ripper was falling to pieces.

Levi a than was standing behind the couch with a smug look on his face as if, he had won something. It was as if he had won the best prize in the world but was trying his best not to show it.

Lussuria was leaning over the couch saying unintelligible words over whatever was on the couch.

Mammon was hovering above the head of the couch and underneath him was…silver hair?

There was silver hair all over the head of the couch and it was stained with blood. Xanxus walked over to the couch and Lussuria backed away. Xanxus could finally see the situation.

He saw the rain guardian lying vulnerably and bloody on the couch. His long silver hair was all over the place, covered in blood like the rest of the rain guardian.

"Wha…" was all Xanxus could manage.

Mammon explained what happened to the boss the best he could. Squalo was out buying Xanxus his alcohol and was completely concentrated on getting the order right so as not to anger the boss. He didn't notice that a bomb was about to explode in the shop. No one had noticed since it was a traceless bomb. The bomb exploded which spilled the alcohol everywhere and lit the entire place on fire. Squalo was caught for the first time in his life off guard. He had been flung straight into a wall and was burned horridly. To make matters worse, some enemies captured Squalo and incapacitated him and nearly killed him. Squalo, being Varia quality for a reason, escaped barely with his life and got his way back to Varia base. Now he was barely alive lying on the couch.

"Oi….trash get up…" Xanxus said, not wanting to believe what he saw in front of him. Squalo couldn't be lying here.

This had to be a sick joke. It had to be.

If it was real then time should have stopped.

There could be nothing without Squalo.

That was what went through Xanxus' mind.

Xanxus knelt next to him. He didn't think about what he was doing. He didn't think about how weak he seemed to his subordinates. He didn't care. All he saw was the man in front of him. The man he had held all those late nights. The man who had vowed to always be loyal to him.

"Xan…xus" croaked the rain guardian. He barely had enough strength to open his eyes but tried to anyway. He couldn't speak very well but he had to say something. He knew his time was quickly running out. He didn't want to leave without giving his last message to his boss.

Xanxus leaned closer to the shark that was barely conscious. Squalo lifted his arm and tried to reach out towards Xanxus.

"Xanxus…I…lo…"

The arm fell limp and the rain guardian closed his eyes permanently, never to set on the scared, raven haired man's face ever again.

Xanxus couldn't move. At that exact moment his entire world had crumbled before him. Time seemed to have stopped.

"Trash, get up…get up this instant! Open your mother f*****g eyes already!"

Lussuria tried to restrain his boss but failed. Nothing could stop Xanxus now. He lost it. Everything meant nothing to him now.

Everyone decided to leave the room to give the boss alone time. Bel was starting to act like an insane prince again. The sight of the rain guardian was too much for him to handle and even Prince the Ripper broke. The loud "Ushishishi" was heard from the corridor. Levi a than didn't leave the boss though.

"Boss now I"

"Shut up trash! Get out!"

"But boss"

"GET OUT!"

Levi grumbled out of the room. He must've not really loved his boss if he couldn't realize what state he was in. He didn't understand his sin of jealousy made the boss hate him so much.

Xanxus could do nothing but kneel there, next to the body of the deceased rain guardian. Xanxus should have been used to death. He saw it ever time he went on a mission. He saw all the time. The sight should have been nothing to him but this. This was something totally different. Never in his mind did he ever see any of his guardians' deaths. That was something that just didn't exist to him. He could never imagine little Bel dying nor could he see Lussuria dying. They were just too…much themselves to die. The thought of that never existed in his mind.

Xanxus could now feel warm tears running down his scarred face. He was then grateful for everyone leaving him alone. He was glad none of them would see him weak like this. This wasn't like him. Xanxus was the leader of the Varia. One of the most feared men in the mafia. Yet one death could make everything disappear.

Xanxus didn't know how long he stayed that way but when he opened his eyes again, he was standing in the large room of the Vongola household. He was wearing a dark suit and in the middle of a room, was a casket.

The trash's funeral he thought.

He felt more normal now (yes there was a normal for Xanxus) like he cried all he could. He was now an empty void of nothingness. He stared at the closed casket with a large bunch of white flowers on top of it.

Why was the casket closed? He thought.

Then he remembered that the body had been blown up and burned. The thought brought bile up his throat. He didn't notice everyone bustling around. It was a sort of loud quietness that made you want to scream or go insane.

"I-I'm sorry for your loss…Xanxus-sama"

Xanxus looked down to the person who had spoken to him. It was the leader of the Vongola, Vongola Decimo, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Normally Xanxus would show his hate for the kid but he had no emotions left. He merely nodded and the Vongola Decimo walked away.

It shouldn't be like this Xanxus thought.

Squalo shouldn't be dead. It was impossible.

He should have never died like that.

He should've never been in that liquor store.

And then Xanxus thought more.

I should have never sent him to the liquor store.

That should have been Levi.

Levi wouldn't have died.

Xanxus was now completely zoning out not noticing anything around him.

It was my fault for sending him.

If I didn't send him he'd be alive.

It was my fault

My fault…

"Boss…."

My fault…

"Voii Boss…"

He shouldn't have died.

"Voii Boss wake up"

He shouldn't have ended this way.

"Voii boss you're gonna get a cold!"

Xanxus opened his eyes and finally realized reality.

There was no casket beside him. There was no crowd of people in black clothing. There was no dead body. There was only Xanxus himself sitting on his 'throne' in his office and Squalo standing above him. His eyes felt a bit tired and fuzzy from sleep. Squalo filled his vision. His long silver hair, his silver eyes, his pail skin, his Varia uniform shined into his eyes. Xanxus couldn't react. He could hardly believe what was before him. His Squalo didn't die. His Squalo was right in front of him.

"Voii, what boss? You're looking at me weird"

"I'll look at you however I want to, trash…"

Xanxus had gotten out of his shock. Everything he had seen was only a dream. It wasn't real.

"Voii I'm leaving now."

Squalo turned and headed for the door.

"I never gave you permission to leave, trash."
"Voii I don't need your permission"

"Come here trash…"

Squalo turned back around and walked towards his boss. There was something off about Xanxus. He didn't seem mad. He didn't seem like his usual self. He seemed…softer.

Xanxus didn't bother getting up from his chair. He grabbed Squalo down towards him and made their lips meet.

The kiss was something Squalo had never expected. Xanxus had pulled Squalo all the way onto his lap and kissed him gently. Xanxus never did anything gently but now with the rain guardian in his arms, he wanted to make sure Squalo wouldn't disappear if he kissed too roughly or held him too tightly. The kiss slowly deepened. Finally Xanxus reluctantly pulled away.

Squalo looked at his boss in confusion. It was nothing like the other kisses he had receiven from Xanxus. They were all rough and unexpected. This kiss was gentle and sweet. Xanxus still had his arms around him so he couldn't move.

"Xanxus…"

"Shut up Squalo…just shut up and stay here with me…"

Squalo's eyes widened. Xanxus had actually used his name. He stayed sitting on Xanxus' lap for a long while. After a while the intimacy between them couldn't be ignored much longer and they both made their way to Xanxus' bedroom which wasn't too far away.

None of the Varia members said anything when Squalo appeared to be walking with a slight limp the next day.
