Summary:
The fucking scum was officially the head of the Vongola, an annoying fucking
party he wanted to have no part of, and that damn woman's fucking shiny lip
gloss... all this together made Xanxus a very pissed of man... well, maybe not
so much with the last one. X86 / XanxusxHaru

The official ceremony in which the title of Vongola Decimo was handed to the
next head was held early in the morning, the transfer of power occurring almost
poetically with the start of the new day. It also gave people an excuse to
start partying much earlier and longer into the day.
From a few feet away, Xanxus’
lips curled into a sneer at the sight of the passed out grunts strewn all over
the floor. He remained in his seat, after having downed shot after shot of
alcohol, largely ignoring the shouts and cheering whoops from the Varia as they
drunk themselves into a stupor. Some were also discreetly talking of the
future, knowing of Xanxus’ sensitivity about the title of Decimo, of how many
were talking about the bright future ahead of Vongola with their new leader.
The brat had grown even further over the years, further intensifying his
already renowned reputation.
Yes, Sawada Tsunayoshi had
definitely grown to be someone worthy of being the head of the Vongola. At
least in the eyes of others. To Xanxus, the pathetic piece of trash will always
remain the same. Spineless. Cowardly. And weak. Even if the boy, now man, may
have some commendable points, he was not someone worth paying attention to in
Xanxus’ eyes.
Still, duty was duty, leading
to his presence in the ceremony. Squalo had been all over his ass trying to get
him to go and it didn’t help that the rest of the Varia had joined in, giving
Xanxus a migraine he didn’t mind taking out on others. Others had meekly kept
away from him, knowing how Xanxus coveted the position now obtained by someone
he considered unworthy. They knew all too well the searing hot pain of his
bullets or the feel of his boot shooting up heir asses whenever he was
displeased.
Hmph, a bunch of pathetic
pansies.
He leaned back against his
seat, crossing his arms as he assumed his usual pose with his eyes closed. The
food was somewhat decent and the alcohol was of a higher quality, not that he
would accept anything but such a thing. The organization was definitely going
all out to celebrate the new leader and they didn’t even have to spend much
with their private funds since a lot of the other mafia organizations were
sending gifts and tribulations. Some were even governmental officials. The
typical suck-ups. It was why it was possible for there to be so many parties
taking place in many parts of the world.
The celebration with brat of
honor himself was taking place in Japan. After the official ceremonies had
finished, Xanxus had high-tailed it out of there, preferring to stay in his own
abode rather than watch the pathetic lot drink themselves to oblivion.
...not that his place was
fairing any better.
“Voi!” Squalo howled, kicking
some of the unconscious drunks to the side. It was clear by the flush of his
cheeks that had had plenty of alcohol as well. “You pathetic shits! Can’t even
hold your liquor!” He then tossed his head back, laughing hardily as he reached
for another glass.
In another corner, Xanxus could
hear a bunch of idiots yelling ‘chug, chug, chug’ as Belphegor participated in
a drinking contest with a dozen subordinates. Many of the fallen drunks were
casualties of his surprisingly high tolerance. The enigmatic prince merely
cackled with delight when his next victim fell backwards, unable to keep up.
Xanxus twitched when heard sobs
coming from the other side of the room where Lussuria was consoling a sobbing
Leviathan. The broad shouldered man cried, feeling as though he had failed his
boss by allowing someone like Sawada Tsunayoshi to become the Decimo. His
fingers were itching to grab his gun and start shooting at sight. The
temptation was almost too much when he heard the sound of the chair scrapping
the ground beside him. He opened one eye and saw long brown locks tied in a
simple ponytail high up on the side of her head, lips shimmering with gloss
while doe-like brown eyes stared in delight at the food on the table.
Of course, how could he forget?
The latest addition to the Varia, albeit a temporary one.
“The Varia sure is lively,” she
said conversationally, smiling brilliantly at him as she took a bite of a cream
cake. The fork lingered in her mouth as she hummed in delight. Xanxus would
have normally closed his eyes and ignored her presence, but the shimmering of
her lips caught his eyes. The wretched woman only occasionally wore make-up and
apparently, today was one of those worthy occasions in which she would splurge
on her appearance.
The fork slipped out from
between her lips and a dainty tongue slipped out to lick the cream that had
managed to get on the side of her face. His opened eye unwittingly followed the
movement, the feminine grace apparently with the way her slim fingers touched
the corner of her mouth to make sure she had gotten everything. He almost froze
at the disappointment he felt when she felt nothing for knowing the stupid
woman, she would have happily slipped that finger of hers into her mouth and-.
The thought was cut off as he
forced his eye to close, his expression tightening.
Miura Haru. If Sawada
Tsunayoshi was considered to be trash, Miura Haru had to be something even more
pathetic than that. She was weak and helpless, unable to directly defend
herself against even the weakest of grunts. It was why she had been assigned
bodyguards the moment she had been stationed with the Varia, her vulnerability
causing her to also be a liability.
One may think that she was
placed within the Varia only because of her close ties to the Decimo and his
Guardians and while it was true that she had a long history with many of them,
it was wrong to believe that she was useless. That woman had a brain in that
ditzy head of hers, one that even garnered the compliments of the stoic and
nasty Verde. It was why the Vongola supported her studies, sending her to parts
of the world, knowing she would be a valuable assist to them in the future.
It did not matter to Xanxus
though. One wrong move by her and he would not hesitate to put her in her
place, regardless of how angry the Decimo and the Guardians would become.
Fortunately, such a scenario never came to be... yet. For someone so damn
bubbly and always nosing into other people’s business, she had never entangled
herself with his matters unless it concerned official business.
“I think Squalo-san is drinking
even more than usual,” Haru continued to remark, uncaring of his
unresponsiveness. “It’s amazing how he’s able to recover so easily in the
morning though. I wonder if it’ll be that case this time as well. And there’s
Belphegor-san. I don’t think I’ve ever see him-.”
“Shut up.” He bit out, unable
to stand her voice any longer.
There was silence and for a
moment, Xanxus believed that she had heeded his command. Instead, there was a
slight humming coming from her, implying how unaffected she was by his brusque
attitude. Unable to contain his curiosity, his eye opened once more and he
would be lying if he said he wasn’t amazed to see her pouring herself a drink
from one of the many whiskey bottles lying around.
Last he checked, the legal
drinking age of Japan was 20 and the blasted woman was still a year shy of
that. Then again, they weren’t in Japan right now, but Italy. And the rules
here were much more different.
His curiosity led him to
continue his observation, the way she swirled the beverage within the whiskey
glass that was filled near to the brim. It was obvious by the way she was
handling it that she had never drank a drop of alcohol before in the past. As
expected of a goody-two-shoes like her. Still, the fanciful smile was on her
face as she toyed with the glass.
In fact, she was playing for
too long. He had half a mind to knock the glass out of her hand if she was just
going to play with it. And then without warning, she tilted her head back and
downed the entire glass. It was enough for Xanxus to open both eyes, though his
lips remained set in his usual stoic scowl.
After she was done, Haru
immediately started to cough. She hit her chest with her fist, a feeble attempt
to clear her throat of the nasty concoction. The sight was so pathetic and
stupid that it was enough to make Xanxus smirk spitefully. His surprise returned
when Haru reached out for the whiskey bottle again, refilling her glass. This
time Xanxus watched openly as she poured the same amount once more and downed
it all at once again.
His amusement started to fade
when the process was repeated. The guzzling, the choking, the coughing, and the
smacking cycle continuing even as a bright red flush graced her cheeks. It only
seemed to accentuate her shiny lips and he found himself drawn to them once
more, especially when she ran her tongue over them to catch the droplets of
whiskey that had been about to escape. Xanxus forced himself to turn away,
furious with himself for staring.
“You know,” she spoke with
slurred words, “a normal man would try to stop me by now.”
Xanxus didn’t bother to grace
her with a reply, opting to snort instead and close his eyes.
She giggled unabashedly. “I
always knew this day would come. Tsuna-san is going to become the greatest
leader in the world! Did you know that I’ve believed in him since I first met
him? Hehe, okay, so maybe that’s a lie... I thought he was evil at first... but
anyways, Tsuna-san is a really kind and powerful person! He was meant for great
things! Haha, I guess that’s one thing that baka Gokudera-kun and I agreed
on... and that’s what a great person Tsuna-san is...”
A tick was forming on Xanxus’
head. What was this stupid woman blathering about? He opened his eyes and
glowered at her, ready to shut her up before she could continue with her stupid
banter when he saw the tears in the corner of her eyes. What the fuck? There
was still a stupid smile on her face too.
She sniffled and Xanxus felt
nauseated.
The itching need to have his
gun in his hand was reappearing. This woman did not just drink herself into
idiocy and was now about to start crying her little bleeding heart out. No
matter how hard Xanxus had tried to tune it out, he often heard the whispers of
how there was a fucking love-triangle between the scum Sawada and the two
fucking cheerleaders he always had around. Actually, more like a one-sided
romance going on with the stupid woman here being the one trapped in unrequited
love.
Gods, the ballads he had heard
sung by Lussuria, the gossip mongrel.
He was not about to listen to
the source of his occasionally bleeding ears bleat about her undying love for trash.
However, Miura Haru was just
full of surprises today. She slammed the whiskey glass into the table, though
the sound of the collision was practically unheard of due to the loud cacophony
of noises made by the entire Varia. There was an unhappy scowl on her pretty
little face, her normally restrained emotions spilling out due to the influence
of alcohol. “That coward! I understand if he doesn’t feel the same way, but
running away from me? Practically shipping me off to another country just to
avoid me?”
Now this caused Xanxus’ ear to
prick. Gossip he hated, but juicy information he could use to torment Sawada?
Now that he could get on board with.
“Men!” Haru snarled, turning
the bottle upside down in order to pour herself another glass. Unfortunately,
she had finished the bottle that had been mostly full. She looked confused,
staring into the bottle to see what the problem was. While doing so, she pouted
a bit and bit her lower lip. Xanxus cursed in his head. She just had to turn
his attention back to her lips again, didn’t she?
Haru reached out to grab
another one of the random bottles on the table when Xanxus had enough, grabbing
her by the wrist. He wanted her gone. No amount of information he could use to
torment Sawada would be worth dealing with this woman and if she didn’t leave
fast, he was going to do something they were both going to regret.
And hopefully it involved his
guns.
Xanxus looked to where Squalo
was, ready to bark at him to take this idiot away... only to find an equally
stupid moron. Not that Xanxus was unaware of this, he had just believed that
maybe, just maybe, Squalo would have it in himself to not be so fucking stupid
for once when he actually needed him. But no... no, the second-in-command of
the terrifying awe-inspiring Varia was now chugging away with Belphegor, both
intent on defeating the other despite how they were wobbling over due to the
sheer amount of alcohol they had consumed. Leviathan was now full-blown sobbing
as he clung to Lussuria, who only clung back sympathetically.
Now that Xanxus thought about
it, where the fuck was Mammon? Probably realized how annoying things were going
to get and had ditched them the moment the party started.
“Xanxus-sama,” Haru whined,
pouting at the bruising grip he had on her wrist. It didn’t hurt, really, since
she was so inebriated. He flinched at the sight of those glossy limps
shimmering tauntingly at him. “Let go!”
“Shut up, annoying woman.” He
growled, though to his utter frustration, his fingers didn’t unwind themselves
around her slender wrist.
“I am not annoying!” she
yelled, now struggling furiously against him. “I worked too hard for a pompous
jerk like you to call me annoying. Now let go!”
His limited patience snapped at
her insults. Who the hell did she think she was to say such things to him? This
was his domain! She was just a mere guest he tolerated because of the fucking
trash of a Decimo!
With his lips curled into a
frightful snarl, he pulled her forward, consequences be damned. If she was
going to shoot her mouth without a care in the world, why should he restrain himself?
Haru was barely able to gasp at
the sudden rushed movement when a rough pair of lips crushed themselves against
her. Her eyes widened and she froze, unresponsive even as those lips melded
themselves against her own. Xanxus, on the other hand, felt every cell in his
body dance in euphoria for finally having given in. Her lips felt so soft and
sleek. He grabbed the back of her head, tilting her head backward so that he
could press himself closer against her.
His tongue entered into her
open mouth greedily, his movements becoming more aggressive at the taste of her
sweet mouth mixed with his favorite brand of whiskey she had consumed in large
quantities. Sure, being a man in his late twenties and an individual of his
rank, he had kissed many beauties with equally soft lips and pliable bodies.
However, he blamed it on the lip gloss she wore.
She just tasted so damn good.
Haru’s eyes were shut closed as
her trapped hand tightened into a fist, the fingers of her other hand clenched
around the soft material of his shirt. She could feel his tongue inside her
mouth, an unfamiliar sensation that made the alcohol induced warmth in her body
to deepen. It felt so good and she unwittingly parted her lips further, though
her tongue remained hesitant and unsure of how to respond.
Her willingness in this was all
the persuasion he needed for suddenly, Haru was pulled even closer until she
was straddling his lap. Xanxus ravished her mouth heatedly, determined to trace
every crevice of her delectable mouth until she was dizzy with his taste. Her
eyes were glazed as he tugged at her hair, the elastic band slipping off as he
roughly pulled, forcing her to tilt her head back so that he could indulge in
her vulnerable neck.
“Oh my gosh, Haru-chan!” an all
to annoyingly-familiar voice shrieked and the haze Haru had been trapped in
dissipated, leaving her all too aware of the fact that she was currently in a
very provocative position with the leader of Vongola’s elite assassination
squad. She froze, the effects of the alcohol fading enough for her to regain
her senses. Xanxus, on the other hand, was in no mood to stop. Who the fuck
cared about his pathetic men?
Haru frantically tugged at
Xanxus’ sleeve, desperate to get him to pull his mouth away from her neck. It
didn’t help that what he was doing actually felt really good, enough to make
her want to lean in and pull him closer instead. “X-Xanxus-sama!” she hissed.
“Again. Say my name again,” his
growl vibrated across her skin, causing her to shudder. There was no way he
didn’t feel that with how closely pressed she was against him and to her
mortification, she felt his smug smirk.
“Oh no, Haru-chan!” Lussuria
wailed with his hands placed on the sides of his face. “I always knew something
like this would happen. I mean, after all, you’re surrounded by such delicious
men and you’re such a scrumptious little thing yourself, but with the boss?”
“BOSS!” Levi wailed with his
arms thrown into the air.
“Lussuria-chan! Levi-san!” Haru
squeaked, squirming in her place on Xanxus’ lap. “Th-This isn’t what it looks
like!”
“Then what exactly is this?”
this time it was Xanxus who spoke, his words searing marks on her. She glared
down at him, but was taken by the intensity of his eyes. The words she was
about to spit at him were swallowed. Still, she glowered at him. As if she was
going to back down now!
“You tell me.” She snarled, all
too aware of how the hand behind her head had now settled on her waist. At
least give her the decency to get off of him and smooth out her clothes! Did he
understand how hard it had been to get the men here to stop staring at her like
a piece of meat? All her hard-work from the past year had probably been
destroyed now!
“Easy,” Xanxus sneered back.
“You’re my woman now.”
One could hear the drop of a
pin before the loudest indignant female shriek in the history of Varia echoed
through its halls.

AN: Haha, I know I've been saying that I'm only going to
focus on Teach Me Love until it's done... but I just had to write an X86. I
don't know where it came from, there was just this weird craving. Hope you guys
like!
This is awesome sauce! I love X86! If you were real, I would kiss you!(ok, maybe not a kiss, but a hug) BTW, when are you going to update Genesis? It's my fave story. Then again, your stories are excellent
ReplyDeleteLOL erm... I think I'm real. xD And I'm fine with internet hugs if you're okay with that! *hug* I'll be updating my other fanfics once I'm done with Teach Me Love! There's only one more chapter to go!
DeleteAs for the X86 oneshot, I just had to write one. There was just this weird urge so I went with it! xD
But have no fear, Genesis is not abandoned! It will surely be updated later!
This is awesome sauce! X86 is my guilty pleasure.(please don't arrest meh) you create supah stories. btw, when are you going to update Genesis?
ReplyDeleteLOL don't worry, it's fun having guilty pleasures. ;) I have several books that I consider to be my guilty pleasures.
DeleteI'm so happy that you have updated *cry*
ReplyDeleteIt's cute...the Varia is cute too :3
*waiting for Genesis*
*hug* I'm back! And Genesis will be updated in the future for sure! Thanks for your patience!
DeleteGreat one-shot! I loved Xanxus' comments-he's hilarious, really. And so is Drunk!Varia. And the image of Lussuria singing love ballads.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the emphasis on the lip gloss as a nod of sorts to the manga. I also really like how you always have Haru be recognized as someone intelligent, really. Another nice details are the brief mentions of the (ex) Arcobaleno and the ambiguity of the Vongola's(or rather, Tsuna's) reason for sending Haru to another country.
I really like your stories- Haru is one of my favorite KHR characters, so it's always nice to see that good writers such as yourself like her too.
Haha, I always found the Varia to be hilarious. Despite being so deadly, they have such weird quirks.
DeleteOo, for a moment, I was confused about what you meant considering a 'nod of sorts to the manga' and then I remembered the last chapter! 8D Haha, Haru is very intelligent! Just because you're bubbly doesn't mean you're not intelligent. She just has her own unique quirks! :)
Haru is also one of my favorite characters. It sucks that they weren't able to utilize her to the fullest, but I suppose that might be because Kyoko is considered the love-interest. T-T
It's okay if reply to this XD?
DeleteHaha, I agree. That's one of the charms of the KHR characters. Almost everyone has something unique about them.
Yeah, that chapter XD!
I agree with you- she's bubbly, cheerful, eccentric and absent-minded but not dumb. Still, even in-universe, people(Tsuna, Gokudera) don't seem to acknowledge this fact- so I'm happy that you mention others do.
It really sucks- she and other minor characters had lots of potential...but then again, the fun in the KHR characters is that most weren't used to their fullest- actually what we had were very subtle character developments and subtle depths, and that allows the readers to use them in many more ways/explore them more. That's what I think at least...
The thing with Kyoko is confusing...she was the first female character to be introduced and she seemed to be one of the... Well, blandest ones. Which is kinda bad for the love interest. And while the title always seemed to go back to her, there was always some...ship-teasing for Haru too...at least from Reborn's/Bianchi's comments...but that's probably the reason, even if Kyoko was actually less utilized than Haru :P.
Sorry, for the long and boring reply~
The Incredibly Chatty Anonymous.
First blood! :D
ReplyDeleteWoo~ an update! Yay! How come you can make any pairing plausible? You are amazing!
-C
8D I'm glad you think so! Thanks for the compliment and for the review!
DeleteThe story was so good! Love the couple together!!! ^-^ Love it! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been getting rather interested in this couple even more lately! ;)
DeleteAnother perfect story! Love it! It so smexy and hot at the same time! Love the couple! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D they are a very smexy couple indeed!
DeleteExcellent job on this pairing! I don't suppose you'd be willing to consider writing a one-shot sequel, set either the next day or a week later? I'd really be interested to see this continued.
ReplyDeletedaww, I'm sorry for such a late reply... but honestly speaking, I am very tempted in writing something for these two, so we'll see in the future. ;)
Deletekyaaa!~~~ I love this! at first I really don't like girl x all khr guys but when I was reading your stories, I was like oh my goodness!~~~ (squealing while rolling in my bed!)
ReplyDeleteHARU X ALL rocks!~~~
I want to read more of random pairings for haru!~~~
I like this too!~~~
Your stories just makes my day sooo great that while listening to my professors just became dull I can't wait to get home and lie on my bed to read your stories!~~~
Keep up the good work!~~
Can't wait for the updates on teach me love, genesis and ambigram!~~~
Kyaaa!~~~
Yay! A converter! 8D
DeleteI'll try and update more~~!
This was great! I love X86, shame there's not enough fic's on them.
ReplyDeleteGreat job keeping Xanxus in character too, I always have trouble writing him when it involves anything romantic. I would love to see more X86, I love your writing style ^^
Thank you so much! And yes, it's true that there is such a terribly lack of X86 fanfics. Believe me... I've tried looking. Maybe I'll write some more someday. I'm very tempted, honestly speaking. :)
DeleteOmg please do! The pairing is like a rare gem lol. I've tried looking for more too but no luck. Btw great job on all the other fics too, need more Haru appreciation =)
Delete:) thanks! And yes, a very rare gem. -__- I tried finding some online for inspiration, but the amount was very sparse.
Delete
