that okay, maybe it's not so much a walk as it is stalking around, being shitassbored and raring to kill something.

right at Xanxus' shoulder, ignoring the fact that the stack of papers on his desk isn't about to get any smaller at this rate.

of the belief, though, that the prospect of Xanxus busting Namimori up while he's not looking is a lot scarier than facing an Angry Kaoko.

the feel of Squalo's eyes on his back.

Don't you have anything better to do beyond follow me, Superbia?

Don't *you* have anything better to do other than walk around?

scoffs. "Nope. Wonder who's fault that is."

Orders are orders, and I don't want to deal with another headache.

So screw orders and take in a few more missions.

turns away and keeps walking.

that Xanxus always makes anarchy sound so easy.

learned, though, that it *isn't* easy. He learned that the hard way, while Xanxus stayed asleep, stayed exactly the way he was.

pushes those thoughts away and follows his ex-leader.

not been thinking back to the way things used to be these days -- he makes himself too busy. Sometimes, though, it catches up to him.

in a very matter-of-fact tone, "We haven't fucked lately. Too busy being the Vongola Family's bitch?"

What? You lonely or something?

Look the mirror before you get on my case.

also not been thinking back to the way things used to be, but it's kind of hard not to when you're cooped up in a room for 16 hours of 24.

, though, that it's better to think back to *those* times than it is to think about more recent ones.

...really, really wants something to do. He's going to want to blow his own brains out soon.

that it'll keep all sorts of stupid shit from cropping up.

a feeling that he knows why Xanxus is this restless. He can sympathize with the man on some level.

like he's only really alive when he's breaking bones or bleeding people dry. It's part of the reason why they were tight as kids.

dig up something for Xanxus to do, before they both go crazy (Xanxus from unsated bloodlust & Squalo from staying on damage control 24/7).

eventually finishes his umpteenth round through the samefuckingstreets and decides that it's time to head back to base.

that there's wine to drink there, at least.
