[ Ah, there we go. Squalo's cool exterior cracks for a moment, his eyes widening in surprise and darting to her face, searching. ]
How did you --
[ --aaaand it's gone. He scowls a little, cutting himself off. She was some sort of a spy, right? Of course she would know things that nobody was really trying to hide. ]
[ More importantly, this brings up a whole tidal wave of feelings he had thought he'd buried since the man disappeared from Hell. Good and bad. He misses him, he can still feel the unnatural heat coming off his skin, feel his punches, smell the godawful mix of embers and gasoline. And there's also anger, because every time they almost got close to each other, one of them would inevitably fuck it up, and in the end, Squalo was not willing to give up any part of who he was just so he could be content with the situation. ]
[ His expression finally shifts into a sarcastic grin, more like a bare of teeth. ]
Considering he was fucking half of Hell anyway, I don't see how that would be any different.
[ He might be bluffing. When he saw a shapeshifting demon being all over Xanxus in his form though, he'd slayed it without a second thought. But Xanxus had always held a place in his heart different from anybody else. ]
[ And anyway, he'd fuck his own different version if it showed up, because who better? ]
I did dump him for it in the end, so I guess that answers that.
[ Not entirely how that happened, and even then it was not the end of their weird relationship at all, but he doesn't feel like going into detail. ]
