Well. Two Italians ARE hotter than one but I guess I’m surviving.

Are you taking care of Yamamoto?

[sharktrash]

Find another hug enthusiast to huddle with. Should keep you warm at least.

[ Squalo has his heated suite and fire-powered friends. It's actually not too bad, as much as he would prefer to be in Xanxus' arms for this. ]

He can take care of himself.

[cavallorampante]

You’ve checked on him at least, haven’t you?

[sharktrash]

No

I see him almost every day as is


[ they train together, remember? ]

[cavallorampante]

Oh.

Never mind. He’s good then.

[sharktrash]

You should have more faith in him. I taught him, you know.

[ It's laughable to think he would need to be "taken care" of. Although Squalo is certain that if Yamamoto did run into something he couldn't handle, he would tell him. ]

[cavallorampante]

I know he can take care of himself. We’re just different in that way—I worry despite skill level.

[sharktrash]

What good does it do?

[cavallorampante]

None, I guess. But I still care enough to do it.

[sharktrash]

As long as you're also proactive.

[cavallorampante]

🙄

[sharktrash]

[ seen XX:XX ]

[cavallorampante]

🥶

[sharktrash]

[ god, why are you punishing him with emoji spam ]

[ what has he ever done to deserve this ]

If you want something, spit it out.

[cavallorampante]

I want us to go back to being friends and not having this weird...distance thing between us.

[sharktrash]

We were never that close

But I can beat you up for old times' sake. You still owe me like three fights

[cavallorampante]

[ and we are back to emojis.]

🖕🏻

[sharktrash]

[ lmao like he's gonna deign that with a reply ]

[ he just fuckin offered to meet you to spar, and if you don't want it, go cry to someone soft and not fighty like you ]

[cavallorampante]

By the way. I left you a gift in your room.

[sharktrash]

[ it's too bad he has no idea about the gift because he opens the message to a wall of juvenile emojis and immediately deletes it ]

[ but he'll probably find it?? ]

[ it'd better not be poop in the middle of his nice carpet ]

[ *also "his room" is like eight rooms just sayin,, ]

[cavallorampante]

[ Well. The gift is alive so there might be poop in one of those 8 rooms. ]

[sharktrash]

[ what the hell ]

[ what kind of beast has been unleashed on his suite?? he's ushering it out as soon as he finds it. ffs people are so irresponsible with their animals, ]

[cavallorampante]

[ it’s just a puppy. Don’t worry. He isn’t sure what breed exactly he just found him and he was cute and you always have CATS. You need a dog. He assumes it’s some sort of German shepherd hell mix but he’s cute. ]

[sharktrash]

[ it... is kind of cute ]

[ he still wants nothing to do with it though. The damn creature looks so excited to see him, and that just makes everything hurt more. He doesnt have the heart to throw it out, but it doesn't feel right to keep it either. He can't be bothered to care for it, and at the same time it's just... too happy. Squalo's not about to be happy ever again. ]

[ so, a few hours/days later, Dino is getting a laconic message; ]

Do you want a dog?

[cavallorampante]

[ Briefly he wonders if that is a genuine question but then he realizes it was the gift He had given. ]

Did you name him?
