1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them~.
Pairing: Xanxus/Squalo
Rating: PG13 for swearing and sexual refrence
Warnings:Swearing, CRACK! LOTS OF CRACK
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
When Xanxus was around, Squalo felt like he could accomplish anything, if only for the sole purpose of impressing that man. He took some strange glee in harder assignments, slashing through his targets, cleaning the blood off his sword with a maniacal grin. “Look at me,” was what that grin said, “Look at me and what I can do. I can do this all fucking day and that’s why I’m on your side.” He was never met with anything more than a “Hmph”, perhaps a boot to the head, but that only encouraged him on.
The Beatles - Another Girl
Xanxus was a grade-a asshole, no one would ever deny that fact. Squalo often wondered what would happen if his boss was a different person. If he smiled or some shit. Gave praise without violence. Stood up for him and the rest of the Varia instead of scoffing and calling them worthless. Things would be different. Squalo smirked as he thought of how boring it would be as well.
Incubus - Megalomaniac
Xanxus’ determination was plain as the light of day. So was his arrogance. Perhaps that’s why Squalo dared fight with him. So he didn’t want anyone being more arrogant than him. It was a weird sort of quirk. Xanxus also refused to take such behavior from anyone else. A lesser member of Varia so much as thought of speaking up against him, they were gone. Squalo made an almost daily occurrence of it. Squalo appreciated that he got to live to see another day, but it wasn’t going to stop him from bitching about it. Not at all.
Raconteurs - Steady as she goes
Xanxus liked having Squalo around, although he would never admit it. The man was a constant and of the entirety of the freak show that he called the Vongola Varia, the only one he would ever be hesitant on replacing. He expressed this in the form of beatings, threats, verbal abuse, and laughing as he supposedly got eaten by a shark of all things (that was really fucking funny for some reason) The only time he was ever sorry for the abuse was when he thought he’d never see that bastard again. No one else could take his shit as well as Squalo.
Some remix of a Sonic the Hedgehog song
Squalo learned in his youth to not play video games with Xanxus. The man didn’t lose well, and Squalo really didn’t like shelling out for new controllers every time he wanted to play. So when Squalo saw that the Wii controller had a wrist strap and jacket for the prevention of thrown controllers, he was pleased. He saved some of his paycheck to pick up the system so that the Varia would have something to play. He became unpleased as Xanxus quickly learned to swing the controller around his wrist and beat people over the head with it.
Billy Joel - Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)
Xanxus didn’t sleep very well. He claimed that being frozen for 8 years would do the same to anyone. Around nighttime, he’d often interrupt a trying to fall asleep Squalo, much to the swordsman’s annoyance, but he‘d always entertain him. It was an intimate moment between the two. They’d stay up talking about whatever, like they were in school again. More than once Xanxus actually achieved sleep, his head resting on Squalo’s lap. Squalo simply would smile and fall asleep, running his good hand through Xanxus’ hair, knowing he’d always be there when his boss woke up.
South Park - Kyle’s Mom’s a Bitch
Squalo never had the pleasure of meeting Xanxus’ mother. Reading what he could on her and from whatever observations he could do, he gathered that she was the craziest woman to ever live. He wouldn’t ever tell Xanxus that she was referred to as “Crazy Mommy Lady” in his mental notes.
Patti LaBelle - Lady Marmalade
In all his research over the 8 years that Xanxus was frozen, there was one thing that never turned up. A love life. So with nothing to do but wallow in their failure, Squalo finally questioned his boss on the matter.
“Heeey, so you ever have a girlfriend or anything?” he drawled.
“Do you really think I’d ever have time for that shit?” was the response, followed by a muttered insult.
“Any one night stands?”
“NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS, TRASH!”
“Ever want to?”
Xanxus took this as an invitation to pin Squalo down and fuck him like he’d never been fucked.
Franz Ferdinand - Evil and a Heathen
Squalo never liked when the Varia was referred to as evil. Ruthless, violent, maybe, but not really evil. They were assassins. It was their fucking job. Xanxus, on the other hand, really didn’t seem to mind the label. He knew he was right, after all and he’d run things the way he wanted.
Fall Out Boy - This Ain’t a Scene it’s a Goddamn Arms Race
Squalo was able to translate very easily from Xanxus to English.
“SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, TRASH” meant “This is a sensitive subject.”
“I DON’T CARE WHAT THE FUCK YOU DO” meant “I am concerned for you.”
“Good job, Levi” was “Leave me the fuck alone, Levi, I don’t really care.”
“You fucked up. Go kill yourself” translated to “Great job, keep up the good work.”
“I hate you, you fucking piece of trash,” was quite simply “You’re my best friend, Squalo”
A whiskey glass to the head was a sincere and heart felt “Don’t get hurt.”
