Prince Charming (Part 2)

HappyFace1886

---

“X-Xanxus-sama,” Haru greeted, her voice cracking under the strain, “what a pleasant surprise.”

“Oi, commoner, what the hell are you wearing?” Belphegor inquired as he sauntered over to her, circling around her with a sneer on his face. The people that stood nearby Haru immediately backed up, some of them falling onto the ground after tripping over their own two feet. “You look like you got a bedsheet and tried to pass it off as a dress.”

“Unfortunately, I have to agree with Bel-chan on this one,” Lussuria’s voice was dripping with amusement. “You know you could have gotten some fabulous gowns for this event. You’re representing the Varia, after all!”

Haru twitched.

“Shishishi, look at their stupid faces!” Belphegor laughed at how some of the guests yelped and stepped even further away from him. “Makes me want to-argh!”

Haru’s foot discreetly stamped itself on top of Belphegor’s foot before she grabbed him by the back of his jacket. She ignored his squawks of indignation about attacking his royal person and dragged him back to the rest of the Varia. Damage control! She needed to do damage control! She shoved Belphegor into Levi before she smiled demurely at Xanxus, who arched an eyebrow at her. Mentally, she was already reaching out to Mammon, knowing he would hear her.

‘Mammon-san, keep Belphegor-san entertained or else I’m going to use every and all of my connections to make sure that your bank accounts remain frozen until the end of time! And I mean all of them!’

Mammon stiffened. ‘You wouldn’t dare-!’

‘Oh believe me, you have no idea what type of people I met while stuck on some stupid Varia missions... that you all would abandon me in, might I add! I can deal with a few measly accounts, including the ones that are currently being laundered through the shell company in the UK!’

Mammon hissed in displeasure at the fact that Haru knew about those secret accounts. He’d been so careful about hiding those ones too!

Haru knew she was pissing off some dangerous men right now (who’d gladly try to kill her in her sleep, by the way, Vongola Familigia or not), but she couldn’t summon the will to care. Right now she needed to do her job (god, this wasn’t even her real job in the Vongola!) and that was to make sure the people around her didn’t think these five were complete and utter nut jobs! Granted, that was the truth, but they didn’t need to know that! And if it meant she had to use all of her trump cards right now, so be it!

Her head snapped towards Lussuria, but the green haired man was already giving her the okay signal with his hands. Mammon was carting the hissing Belphegor, who was already ranting about the ‘bitch’ who needed to be ‘put in her place already’ or some other diatribe of torture, off to one end of the ballroom while Lussuria began dragging a protesting Levi to where the buffet table was. Haru then turned to the most difficult one of them all.

Xanxus.

Maintaining her sweet smile, she held out a hand towards him.

“Shall we?”

---

Haru sighed as the other guests gave them a wide berth from where they sat in one of the alcoves of the ballroom. She was sitting closer to the entrance, watching the people whisper and glance at them, while Xanxus sat deeper inside with an intense brooding aura that caused some of the men and women to scurry away from them. This was definitely not helping their cause.

What were they even doing here anyways?!

Fortunately, Lussuria was distracting Levi by carting him to and fro to get more food and drinks for the boss so, there also wasn’t a need for them to get out of the alcove either. Haru had no idea what Mammon was doing right now with Belphegor, but she knew he wouldn’t dare go against her right now, especially when she’d mentally shown him a glimpse of how true of a threat she was when it came to his bank accounts.

“Haru,” she looked up and her eyes widened at the sight.

“F-Francesco?” her voice came out as a squeak.

The blonde haired man then turned his gaze towards the terrifying man oozing with a frightening presence. Cold sweat was starting to form on the back of Francesco’s neck, but he refused to falter. Besides he was a detective, for goodness sake! He was supposed to have dealt with bastards like this on a daily basis! “I-I’m back because we weren’t done with our conversation.”

Haru wanted to hit him. Hard. This was not the time or place! “Unfortunately for you, I’m done with it, so if you could-.”

“No! This is the perfect opportunity. While he’s here, we’re going to have a nice, honest chat about you leaving the Vongola!”

Haru’s eyes immediately shot towards where Xanxus was and thanked the heavens that the man wasn’t moving. If anything, the brooding aura intensified, but there was no bloodlust in the air. Oh, thank god. She returned her attention to Francesco, the bane of her existence right now. Also, who the hell did he think he was, trying to dictate her life like this?!

“Francesco, if you don’t get away from here right now, I swear-.”

“No! I-I never got to tell you this because you were always busy with school and then I later found out that you were working for the mafia, but I-.” Haru almost screamed. No, not right now! “-really, really care about you, maybe even l-love you, and I can’t stand by and watch you wasting your life away like this!”

From the corner of Haru’s eyes, she saw a twitched and felt her stomach drop. Could this night get any worse? Why did anyone believe moments like these were so romantic and replayed them constantly in day time dramas? There was nothing romantic or dreamy about this! This was terrifying!

“Fucking scum.” Came the guttural hiss.

Haru’s eyes widened and she barely managed to release a yelp when she was forcibly dragged from the chair and onto Xanxus’ lap. Shit! A hand was splayed possessively over her waist and Xanxus was sporting one of the most terrifying glowers she’d ever seen, which was saying something since this was Xanxus she was talking about.

“H-Haru?” Francesco stammered, his eyes goggling at the display before him.

“...Francesco... just go away,” she groaned, knowing there was no recovering from this.

The blonde haired man continued to stare before weakly staggering away. One could almost see his spirit floating off his body due to his disbelief over what he’d just seen. That had to be a dream, right? Cute and innocent Haru couldn’t be involved with a maniac like that, right?

“Was that really necessary?” Haru inquired in a small voice, though her scowl remained.

“Perhaps I should blow his head off instead,” before Xanxus could whip out his guns, Haru’s hands were already on top of his, a look of panic and fury crossing her face.

“Don’t you dare,” she angrily hissed. “Let go of them right now.”

The two glared at each other for what felt like an eternity for the nervous party guests, who could sense their angry bloodlusts from afar, when Xanxus finally released his grip on the guns. Haru then slowly began to pull her hands away before her shoulders sagged, a sigh escaping her lips while she crossed her arms.

“What are you doing here, anyways? You don’t like things like this.”

“Hmph,” was the only reply she got and she tilted her head to see Xanxus leaning back on his seat, apparently getting comfortable to take an evening nap. She rolled her eyes and was about to crawl off of him to get back to work, but found a strong hand holding an iron grip around her waist and keeping her in place.

“Xanxus!” she hissed.

He, of course, ignored her. It took all of her self control not to smack him up the head. Xanxus may let her get away with a lot, but she knew hitting him was going to go past whatever demented and twisted line he'd drawn up in his head. Besides, she knew he’d love to punish her in his own equally warped way.

A chill went down her spine as she felt the stares and whispers they were attracting. In fact, she could practically feel the gossipers salivating at this new development. The dangerous mafioso leader with an endless thirst for blood with the sassy petite researcher with the wicked tongue?

All the damage control attempts in the world wouldn't be able to smother that little flame of interest.

And so she leaned back, resting her head on top of Xanxus' chest while her fingers knitted themselves together with his hand, still possessively holding onto her waist. Might as well get comfortable since she was stuck with this right now. Besides, it felt nice to have him around her like this, even if he did irritate the hell out of her.

"Hahi," she sighed to herself, though her exasperation was laced with fondness. "What am I going to do with you?"

“Kyah!” the sound of plates shattering disrupted the stiff ambiance of the ballroom.

Haru immediately sat back up when she heard the scream. She squirmed against Xanxus’ hold, straining her neck in order to see what was going on. Oh please, no. She did not have the heart for this!

“How dare you!” she heard Levi’s voice booming and winced. Shit, someone probably said something stupid about Xanxus or the Varia or some form of that combination. What was Lussuria doing?!

“Xanxus,” she hissed, but the stubborn man continued to ignore her. Her temper flared and through sheer willpower, she smothered the flames that threatened to explode. Now wasn’t the time for that. Instead, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She had to deal with one thing at a time. Her priority right now was getting free from Xanxus’ stupid octopus grip so that she could give Levi and Lussuria the tongue-lashing of the century... but how to get him to let go?

She stared at the face of the man behind her. His eyes were closed, though the permanent scowl still remained on his features. He’d blow a lid if she did anything stupid and arguing would get nowhere. He’d either ignore her or, if he was in a better mood, engage in a banter before... kissing her stupid and doing stuff she knew she’d never allow in public.

Okay, arguing is definitely off the table.

Then what if...

Haru hesitated only briefly before she slowly turned around. Her hand trailed up his chest and she could feel his firm muscles briefly jump in surprise at the sudden touch. Her fingers then wrapped themselves around Xanxus’ loosened tie. The older man’s eyes flung open when she suddenly jerked at it hard, forcing his face to suddenly pull forward towards her, as though he was some sort of leashed animal under her control. At first, he stared at her incredulously until he noticed the icy cool fire glowing from her normally soft brown eyes.

She whispered quietly only for his ears to hear, her breath brushing so closely against his lips while she stared fearlessly into his eyes. “Let. Go.”

In any other circumstance (and usually depending on his mood), if a woman did this to him, he’d probably smack them for their insolence. With Haru, he just stared, admittedly too stunned by the fact that she’d try something like this on him. It was one thing when they were engaged in a battle of the wills, but another when she was trying to order him around like this.

He was preoccupied with his thoughts for too long as Haru wiggled out of his loosened grip and quickly walked out of the alcove, her voice trailing behind her. “Don’t move from there or do anything stupid, Xanxus, or I swear-!”

The rest of her words were lost as she stared, horrified, at the scene before her. There was a man cowering before Levi while sparks were literally flying around the towering man. Levi snarled as he glowered at the man. “Say that again. I dare you!”

Haru was going to blame Xanxus on this later. She was picking up too many of his bad habits. Her fingers grabbed a nearby glass and ended up pitching it forward with the form and speed that even Yamamoto would be proud of. There was a loud shatter as the glass hit Levi smack on the back of his head. The hulk of a man bellowed in rage, sending many guests scurrying away in terror, as he whirled around, ready to unleash his wrath on the idiot who dare harm him.... only to flinch when he realized just who it was he was dealing with.

“H-Haru!”

“Levi-san,” she spoke serenely with an equally serene smile, though internally she was seething with a fiery rage that would put the flame of wrath to shame. “What are you doing?”

“T-They were insulting the-!”

“I asked,” Haru took a step forward and Levi actually took a step back, “what the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Levi flinched, his arms snapping in attention by his side. The woman before him may be petite and tiny, but he knew just how formidable she could be. When Haru had first arrived at the Varia base, so many people had looked down at her, but many eventually fell victim to her terrifying acts of vengeance... and Levi wasn’t exempted from it as well.

The woman was fair and actually took in a lot of flak, but push her too far...

He still had the scars from when his weapons had exploded on him while he’d been in the middle of a mission. Apparently they’d undergone improper maintenance, which, coincidentally happened right after he’d threatened the little lady about behaving in a manner that would suit the boss... meaning unseen and unheard. When he’d confronted her about it, she’d merely smiled kindly at him, saying she’d take another look at it... only if he said please and apologized for being so rude. His first reaction was to then yell at her, threaten her, and even try to physically scare her... which led to more bad incidents in everyday things people generally took for granted.

The showers refused to give him and only him hot water. He’d gotten food poisoning almost every time after he recovered from the last one. Not to mention the piles and piles of dirty laundry that never got tended to! The woman was a she-devil when she wanted to be!

“Levi-san?” Haru inquired with a tilt of her head, giving him a gentle smile that sent a chill down his spine.

“I’ll behave myself! I promise!” he yelled, looking at everywhere but her with his arms by his side.

Haru stared at him for a moment longer before nodding, satisfied for now. “Good. Levi-san?”

“Yes ma’am!”

“Xanxus-sama might be a bit thirsty. Please get him something to drink. Oh, and some more food while you’re at it.” Ugh, hopefully that’ll be enough to preoccupy that man for a few minutes. “And where’s Lussuria-san?”

“Haru-chaaaaan!” the loud squeal immediately told Haru where the green haired man was. She groaned and dismissed Levi away with a wave of her hand, the older man being more than happy to escape from her frightening presence.

Haru turned around and felt her blood freeze at the sight. Apparently Lussuria had made a friend while she hadn’t been looking.

Shit!

“Haru, darling, it’s been so long!” a large, voluptuous chest was the first thing that came into Haru’s line of vision. Following that was a pair of beautiful emerald eyes behind a pair of tinted glasses that glowed mischievously with the sparkle of a poisonous viper. This was not good.

“Isabella,” Haru almost croaked.

The buxom lady immediately pulled Haru in for a tight hug, nearly smothering her to death with her overly large badonkadonks. “My dear girl, I’ve missed you! I always said we should keep in touch, but we haven’t seen each other since that time you were kidnapped!”

Haru was gasping and coughing for air after somehow managing to free herself from Isabelle’s impossible hold. The older woman was a journalist for a prominent news company and there was a reason why she was able to survive so long on the field and it wasn’t just because of her drop dead gorgeous looks. And as mentioned, the two had met under rather... unfortunate circumstances.

“What are you doing here?”

Isabella fluttered her long lashes at her. “Why, I’m doing an article on the charity event, of course. Imagine my surprise when my sources told me you’d be here... and possibly escorted by one of the executives of the great Varia.”

Haru felt her back stiffened. She knew Isabella smelled blood and was going in for the kill.

“But imagine just how more surprised I was when it wasn’t just one, not even two, but five of them? Not to mention the elusive leader making an appearance. Oh Haru, you lucky girl. You must be so well-.”

Haru pulled Isabella back in for a hug and hissed sharply into the older woman’s ear while still sporting her amiable smile. “You better not be writing some ridiculous article about me having some nightly orgy fest with all of the Varia!”

“Oh, darling, you know I’d never do that to you.” Isabella purred before pulling away, speaking loudly now. “I’ll just write about the mad animalistic, table-breaking make-up sex that you have with the Varia’s yummy leader on a daily basis. Xanxus, was it?”

Haru’s eyes widened almost comically before she shot Lussuria a look of horror. The green haired man gave her a carefree shrug and Haru whipped her eyes back towards Isabella, who had the look of a cat that had just successfully pounced on its prey.

“Gotcha.” She purred, tossing her thick curled brown hair behind her.

“Isabella,” Haru hissed.

“Ah, little Haru, you know how much I adore you.” Isabella giggled. “Not to mention, dear Lussuria here has been just fascinating me with the most amazing stories.”

“...Lussuria!”

“Oh Haru, you should learn to live a little.” Lussuria giggled, giving Isabella a conspiring look. “Dear Isabella here was just telling me how much she agreed with me on the idea that you and the boss should-!”

“Is that all you people ever think about?” it took all of her might not to shriek at them.

“-go on an official date together.” Lussuria’s smile widened at how red Haru’s face was turning and began twittering behind his hand. “My, my, where is that mind of yours going to? It’s the boss’s fault. He just can’t keep his hands off of you! Not that I can blame him.”

“Indeed,” Isabella said while hugging Haru, nuzzling into her hair. “She’s so tiny and cute! And when she gets angry, you just want to tease her some more.”

"She is a cute little thing, isn't she?" Lussuria agreed.

Traitor!!! Haru's mind screamed at him.

“So tell me, since you really don’t want me to have the wrong impression,” Isabella continued while cuddling the unwilling Haru against her ridiculously voluptuous body. “What exactly is your relationship with that fine specimen of a man? If it wasn’t for that murderous aura he carries, I’m sure women would be flocking to him in droves.”

“None of your business.” Haru hissed.

“Dear little Haru-chan is just so shy when it comes to her relationship with the boss,” Lussuria supplied, shaking his head with a slight click of his tongue. “Which is such a shame since they’re so adorable together. Oh if only you could have seen how they first got together!”

Isabella’s eyes glittered with interest while Haru stared at Lussuria in horror. “Oh? Do tell!”

Haru slapped her hands over Isabella’s ears, looking ridiculous since the brunette was taller than her and Haru had to stand on the tip of her toes to be able to cover them. “Do you really want to ruin the Varia’s reputation? Have you forgotten why I’m here in the first place? Why are any of you guys here anyways? You people hate, and I mean absolutely hate, stuff like this!”

“Well, the boss woke up from his nap and suddenly barked that he was going to go out somewhere.” Lussuria hummed in amusement. “So naturally, we followed to see what he was up to. Imagine our surprise when he ended up coming to this charity ball. And lo and behold, it’s the same charity ball that you were talking about earlier.”

“...X-Xanxus did that?” she didn’t think her face could get any more exaggerated and distorted as it did since the moment the Varia had arrived in this nightmare of a party, but she ended up goggling her eyes comically at him.

“You of all people should know that the boss takes care of what’s his,” Lussuria chuckled, loving how Haru seemed to flush at this revelation. Of course she knew about Xanxus’ rough nature, but to actually come to a stupid snooty party like this?

“And not just that,” Isabella suddenly interjected while giving Haru a look as though to say ‘did you really think covering my ears would hide your conversation from me? Silly girl!’, “maybe he also came because he was concerned about the rumors.”

“Rumors?” Haru echoed. “What rumors?”

This time, Lussuria laughed nervously. “Now, there’s no need to talk about frivolous little rumors like that.”

Haru zeroed in on the green haired muy-thai expert. “Lussuria-nee. Explain. Now.”

Before the sweating man could say a peep, an explosion occurred from behind them. Haru whirled around with Isabella still glommed behind her and was ready to lay out the verbal beating to whichever stupid Varia member had caused it this time, when she realized it hadn’t been any of them. Well... it wasn’t all them, at least.

“Isn’t that a member of the... Pisano Famiglia?” Haru inquired in confusion. She’d remember reading about the family in one of the files. It was a small time mafia group who dominated over the city of Pisa in Tuscany. “What are they doing here? And is that Belphegor-san and Mammon-san?!"

"It's about time something happened," Belphegor laughed as he landed a distance away, blades already floating around him. “What took you idiots so long? If you planned on ambushing this place, you should’ve done it sooner. I was getting bored to death by how stupid this party was.”

Haru’s eyes widened at the insults the cocky prince was hurling. Argh, did any of these idiots really not understand why she was here in the first place? The PR team must’ve been out of their minds wanting to take one of these peons with her to the charity event! Sure, it would have definitely been a good move if it meant showing the public a different side of the Varia, that they weren’t all psychotic idiots who probably would have been put down in another lifetime, but it could also make things exponentially worse because of their ruthless and unmanageable personalities!

“That one has a mouth on him,” Isabelle remarked with a slight giggle.

Haru groaned. “They all do.”

“Hmph,” she heard Mammoth say distastefully as he eyed the hostile mafia men, “at least you’ll be more worthwhile than having us waste our time and money by donating to a stupid organization like this.”

‘Mammon!’ Haru snarled in her head and felt somewhat satisfied when the half-grown ex-Arcobaleno flinched hard. ‘I don’t know what the hell is going on, but deal with it quickly and quietly. And get Belphegor to shut up already!’

With that said, she turned to Lussuria. “Lussuria-nee, could you grab Levi-san and make sure that the rest of the guests don’t get hurt from all this?”

“Sure, sure, you’re the boss’s woman,” Lussuria said teasingly and Haru’s face flushed.

“You know that’s not why I’m!-oh never mind,” she sighed when she saw that Lussuria wasn’t even listening as he pranced away. Haru peeked upward at the woman behind her. “...could you please let go now? If you haven’t noticed, there’s going to be a blood bath in front of us.”

“I noticed alright,” Isabella hummed cheerfully, never taking her eyes off of the fighting pair in front of them. Some of the partygoers were crying and running away, trying to avoid the stray bullets and flying knives that were going all over the place. It made Haru want to sigh.

So much for ‘quickly and quietly’.

“SHUT UP!”

Haru and Isabella both jumped at the booming voice and Haru almost cried when she saw the laser-like flames shooting through the air. Of course. What was she expecting? When was this nightmare going to end already?

The flames ended up blasting right in the middle of where Mammon and Belphegor were fighting against (more like toying with) the Pisano Famiglia. The two Varia members yelped and high-tailed it out of the area, barely avoiding the blast that would have torn them to pieces. The shot ended up hitting the ground, causing it to explode and sending both the Piano Famiglia members and the guests flying.

Haru really didn’t want to turn around and face the horror behind her, but with Isabella still holding onto her and apparently more curious about what was transpiring, Haru had no choice but to turn with her and look at Xanxus walking out of the alcove. One of his guns was steaming and based on the stormy look on his face, they’d just rudely awoken him from his nap. From a ways away, Haru saw Levi’s prone body on the table... probably after Xanxus smashed his head on there...

“Uh-oh, boss is up,” Belphegor with a strained grin.

“I can’t watch,” Haru whimpered, covering her eyes with her hands.

“Argh, no one said that the Varia was actually going to show up!” one of the uninjured men from the Pisano Famigilia hissed to each other and Haru resisted the urge to give a snarky reply that even the Varia hadn’t known that they were going to show up. “This was supposed to be an easy job!”

“I don’t care anymore. You rich filthy fucks, give us all your valuables right now. I’m taking what I can while I still have the chance,” the apparently now insane Pisano Famiglia member shouted, aiming his gun at the nearest guests, which, coincidentally, ended up being Haru and Isabella. He yelled out in pain when a more concentrated shot of flame hit him right through the shoulder. Eyes immediately whipped towards the terrifying Varia leader who had his other, now steaming, gun raised.

“Didn’t I tell you pieces of shit to shut the fuck up?”

Unfortunately, Xanxus’ words were nearly drowned out by the howls of pain by the fallen Pisano Famiglia member who was rolling around on the ground, clutching his shoulder. Haru saw the all too familiar twitch on Xanxus’ forehead and quickly wiggled out of Isabelle’s hold, rushing towards him in order to grab the top of his guns and forcing them down so that they aimed at the floor.

“Xanxus,” she hissed.

He eyed her briefly when, much to her immense surprise, he actually relented. Xanxus holstered his guns and without warning, grabbed her and roughly threw her over his shoulder. Haru yelped in surprise, instinctively clutching onto the back of his cloak in order to not fall off. Thank god he was holding onto her thighs, smoothing down her dress so that she wasn’t flashing everyone. It would have been another beautiful thing to add to her long and growing list of horrible events, which was now primarily composed of all the trauma she’d witness and experienced tonight.

He then whirled around, turning to leave, but not before imparting a message to his men. “Get rid of the trash, scums.”

Haru paled as Belphegor started to laugh his maniacal laugh while Lussuria joined in from whatever corner he was currently standing in. Even Mammon looked excited, probably ready to vent out all the pent up frustration from having to deal with both Haru’s threats and Belphegor’s churlish attitude. Levi, the ever loyal soldier, immediately stood up with his eyes practically glowing.

“Yes boss!”

Haru slumped on top of Xanxus’ shoulder.

She gave up.

At least this night was finally over...

-

...or so she thought.

Haru squeaked when she was practically thrown inside of the car. She stared at Xanxus with widened eyes of terror and knew there was no point in yelling at the driver to speed off before Xanxus got in the car. The divider between the backseat and the driver was up and she knew the back was now basically soundproof. Haru quickly crawled backwards until she was pressing on the other side of the car seat. She didn’t dare open the other door and make a run for it. It’ll just make the situation worse.

Xanxus slowly got into the seat and faced forward, crossing his arms and legs as he closed the car door. The car engine rumbled and Haru felt it start to move, taking them away from the fiasco. God, she could practically feel the rumble of the explosions at the building they were leaving.

She stared at Xanxus warily, especially since he wasn’t saying a peep. He better not be blaming her for what happened tonight.

“T-Thank you for coming,” she began, trying to at least be polite about it all. And really, she was grateful if his heart really was in the right place when coming here... though she highly doubted it was due to sentimental reasons why he came in the first place. Lussuria said Xanxus took care of what was his and everyone knew what he actually meant by as ‘his’ and it sure wasn’t the mushy kind.

Haru flinched when Xanxus’ scowl deepened.

“I’m sorry things ended the way it did though! I know you were probably having a lovely nap in there,” she added quickly, trying to rack her brains for whatever answer it was that Xanxus was looking for.

He opened his eyes and tilted his head towards her. “Do that again.”

“...excuse me?”

“That time with my tie,” he continued. “Do that again.”

Haru gawked at him as she repeated herself. “E-Excuse me?”

Xanxus glowered at her and she knew he wasn’t going to explain any further and that she better do as she was told before he lost his temper and started shooting the car. She quickly tried to rummage through her memories. So many stupid things happened earlier that it was difficult to recall everything that happened.

Tie? What had she done with his tie?

---

Haru hesitated only briefly before she slowly turned around. Her hand trailed up his chest and she could feel his firm muscles briefly jump in surprise at the sudden touch. Her fingers then wrapped themselves around Xanxus’ loosened tie. The older man’s eyes flung open when she suddenly jerked at it hard, forcing his face to suddenly pull forward towards her, as though he was some sort of leashed animal until her control. At first, he stared at her incredulously until he noticed the icy cool fire glowing from her normally soft brown eyes.

She whispered quietly only for his ears to hear, her breath brushing so closely against his lips while she stared fearlessly into his eyes. “Let. Go.”

---

Her eyes widened and she swallowed her ‘eep’ at the memory. He wasn’t angry about that, was he? No wait, he said to do it again. That didn’t make any sense! He hated when people ordered him around. Beside, she’d only done that because she was desperate and couldn’t think of another way to make him let go of her!

She peeked at him and saw that he wasn’t looking at her anymore, his eyes closed once more as he remained slumped on his seat.

...this insufferable man. The things she did for him.

Haru slowly reached out and wrapped her fingers around his tie, readying her nerves before roughly jerking him towards her, nearly lying down on the car seat so that he was forced to hover over her. Her face was bright red from mortification, but she still forced herself to speak coolly and sharply like before. “I told you not to do anything stupid, didn’t I?”

Xanxus smirked.

---

:::The next day::

“Voi!” Squalo roared as he entered into the lobby of the hotel located near the Varia’s castle. He found the rest of the members lounging on the couch. Well, more like Levi crying in a corner while Lussuria was reading the newspaper while giggling in amusement. Belphegor looked nauseated while Mammon was missing, probably checking on the accounts Haru had threatened him with. “What the hell was with that message to come here instead of headquarters?”

“Ohohoho, you should be grateful we warned you at all, Squalo-chan,” Lussuria laughed.

“The fuck is that supposed to mean?”

“...they broke the bed and I think they’re aiming to break the wall now,” Belphegor managed to grunt out, looking ready to hurl. His ears were still bleeding from what he and the other Varia members had walked into. Lots and lots of loud screaming and moaning, especially from that stupid harpy screeching their boss’s name. Now that was a sound he definitely didn’t need to hear in this lifetime or the next.

Squalo himself turned green, no longer needing additional info as to what the hell was going on back at the castle. “What the fuck brought that on?”

“Oh you know the boss, one smothering look and then those two-Bel-chan, I told you not to aim for my face!” Lussuria chided, avoiding the knife that’d been about to hit him square on the forehead.

“Then shut the fuck up with the gory details!”

“Anywho, you should read the news, Squalo-chan. It might help fill you in with some of the missing details.” Lussuria twittered happily while handing over the newspaper that was conspicuously opened to a rather large article written by an Isabella Cabello.

Squalo warily took the paper and nearly choked on his own spit at the headline. “What the fuck? The Queen of the Varia? Heroes of the charity event of the season?”

“Ohohohoho!”

“We’ve shamed the boss!” Levi cried out, tears now pouring even harder. Oh the horrible details he’d read about how the mighty Varia was under the thumb of a petite Japanese lady who could silence them with just a single look! There were even pictures taken by that cameras installed in that sneaky vixen’s glasses! The world now had photographic evidence of him having a glass thrown to his head and even a picture of the boss carrying that stupid woman over his shoulder!

Squalo then proceeded to upturn all the furniture around them. “What the fuck happened while I was gone, you pieces of shit?!”

:::Meanwhile back at Varia’s castle:::

“Xanxus!” Haru hoarsely cried out, her back arching as she took him in as deep as possible, feeling herself falling over the edge once more. Her entire body felt sore and she didn’t think she could unlock her ankles from around his waist anymore, but she couldn’t protest the explosions of pleasure that’d rack her body with each round. She didn’t understand where this was all coming from! Sure, this guy had the stamina and endurance of a friggin monster, but even he eventually settled down for the night... not go at it literally all night long!

He growled into the column of her neck, holding onto her hips harshly as he buried himself inside of her, releasing his seeds into her womb with almost a burning vengeance while groaning at how tightly her nether lips would clutch onto him. Gods, the memory of her trying to order him around during and after that stupid charity event. She was so tiny and breakable, but seeing her trying to dominate him, aggressively pulling him around by his tie, when there was no chance of her succeeding without his saying so, was definitely a definition of sexy. It made him want to fuck her senseless until she was crying helplessly for more underneath him.

Her eyes widened and her fingers dug into his shoulders, adding to the numerous deep scratch marks she’d already inflicted on his scarred skin. She could feel him literally swelling up inside of her. “A-Again?"

Xanxus gave her a merciless smirk. “Again.”
