day 7 | historical au | khr rare-pair week 2020 | dino & squalo
there was a time - before the arrival of Prince Xanxus, before Dino had to be crowned King - that Dino and Squalo were two boys going to conquer the world together, the Prince and his Champion.
Rising actors Dino Cavallone and Bianchi Gokudera co-star in a korean historical romance drama. But it seems like the romance aspect is becoming less like an act and more genuine by the day.

“Why are you forcing me to do this today Reborn?” Dino panted as he trudged up the hill of the Callavone estate. Reborn was perched smugly on top of his head, adding only to the extra weights that had been attached to his limbs.
“Endurance training Pipsqueak-Dino,” Reborn said smugly as he sipped a small cup of coffee, sighing out contently at the flavour.
“This will do nothing but drive me into an early grave,” Dino whined as the main house came into view and Dino almost sobbed at the sight.
“Quit whining Pipsqueak-Dino, besides we’re finished for the day. After all, you have a guest.” Reborn sounded smug as a black town car pulled to a stop mere feet away from the exhausted teenager.
“A guest?” Dino was wary; he was not told about any visitors today and Reborn sounding smug was never a good thing from his experience.
“About time you showed up Dame-Tsuna.” Reborn snarked as a tall brunet with fluffy hair and a sharp black suit stepped out of the back of the town car.
“You called me an hour ago Reborn!” The brunet sighed in a way Dino had heard from himself many times since becoming Reborn’s student.
“You’re slacking,” Reborn said instead as he leapt from Dino’s head to land easily on the newcomer’s shoulder as if he had done that movement many times before.
“Oh, you must be Dino-San, Reborn’s new student!” The brunet’s smile was gentle yet bright as he caught sight of Dino gawking at him. Dino snapped his mouth shut and fought down a blush, finally getting a good look at the older man he realized how handsome the man was.
“Ah! Yes, Hello I am Dino of the Callavone Famiglia.” Dino fell back on his lessons to introduce himself to the newcomer.
“I am Tsunayoshi Sawada, Vongola Decimo. Call me Tsuna, after all, we both are students of Reborn!” The Vongola Decimo shook the hand Dino had offered. Dino thought he was going to faint, this was THE Vongola Decimo after all.
“H-Hi,” Dino squeaked before gasping at the same Tsuna did when their orange Sky flames flare up from where their hands were connected. Dino felt uneven on his feet and swayed in confusion while Tsuna hummed thoughtfully.
“What did you do Dame-Tsuna?” Reborn questioned, staring at the flickering and dancing Sky flames that covered his student’s hands.
“Sky bonding is rare, but it does happen Reborn. Our flames are compatible.” Tsuna answered and Dino’s head spun at the words, before gasping for air when their hands separated and a wave of coldness drenched Dino.
“Focus on your flames Dino, just relax and embrace them. The cold will disappear faster if you do that.” Tsuna advised as he rubbed Dino’s arms in the way one would do to warm up a shivering person. Dino nodded numbly and sank into his core and soon like Tsuna said the coldness went away and he felt warm once more.
“I can’t take you anywhere Dame-Tsuna,” Reborn heaved a sigh while pinching his nose looking exhausted. Dino gapped at the sight, he had never seen Reborn act like this before. Tsuna merely laughed while rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish smile on his lips.
“This wasn’t my fault this time Reborn! Our flames just like each other!” Tsuna whined as he tugged Dino against his side, slinging an arm around the teen’s shoulders.
Dino couldn’t help but blush and press himself tighter against the Don’s side, eyes fluttering as pure Sky flames caressed him and his flames spiked up to meet them.
“You are a walking trouble magnet.” Reborn accused and Tsuna just laughed again before Reborn dropped from the brunet’s shoulder and walked away while muttering.
“Ignore him, he gets in a huff whenever my flames do something unexpected… Which is a lot of the time, so he should be used to it.” Tsuna laughed as he tugged Dino towards the main house. Dino knew he should be leading him, but he couldn’t help but stay plastered to the older man’s side to absorb the warm flames that made him feel so calm and accepted.
“I hope you like me, Dino, it seems we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other!” Tsuna said cheerfully and Dino could do nothing but nod his agreement to both things Tsuna had said. If being Reborn’s student meant being around Tsuna and his pure Sky flames then Dino would happily endure Reborn’s torture.

~~/~~
Xanxus hated these damn meetings, he hated that he was still at the beck and call of Nono and the CEDEF. He knew Squalo hated it just as much as him, but from the way, his side of their bond felt that his savage Rain was used to these tedious meetings.
Xanxus did have to wonder where the baby boss was, the whole Decimo generation were in Italy for the summer and Xanxus assumed that baby boss was supposed to be at this meeting as well.
Xanxus decided he didn’t like not knowing and opened his mouth to ask where the baby boss was. Instead, his flames flared up as the doors to the meeting room were almost blown off their hinges with the force they were opened. Xanxus had his hands on his guns before he realized who it was and then he was stunned into stillness.
Dina was wearing a tailored white pantsuit, but the cuffs around her ankles and wrists were stained with blood. Her long blond hair was whipping around her furious, blood-splattered face like it was caught in a hurricane. A mixture of not only pure orange Sky flames but also red flames that Xanxus knew on a very personal level were circling her arms. Her eyes were a dull orange and that same mixed flame was dancing on her forehead, showing she was in Dying Will Mode, something most thought only Vongola Sky’s were capable of.
“You’re all sitting there having a meeting?” Dina’s voice was sharp like jagged glass and it cut through the room like a knife. Xanxus attention was fully on the Callavone Donna and he could feel interest and arousal flooding from his Rain’s end of their bond. Xanxus almost felt high as her mixture of Sky and Wrath flames danced across the room as her anger rose.
“You all were sitting here while I was slaughtering my way through an enemy Famiglia I was told to be dealt with to save my imouto. To save your heir.” Dina stalked forward, flames wafting over her body as she moved and Xanxus now understood why Squalo had almost sworn himself to her all those years ago. She was beautiful, deadly and intoxicating all wrapped into one package, he had never seen her like this before and he couldn’t stop staring.
“Her Mist’s came to my dreams to beg for help to save their Sky. Yet you all are sitting here holding a meeting as if she and her Rain and Storm had not been taken at all.” Dina was enraged and her Wrath flames slowly began to overtake her Sky flames as her anger increased. Xanxus felt Squalo’s rage at the mention of baby boss’s Rain being taken as well. Xanxus knew how fond Squalo was of the kid in his own way.
“The fuck didn’t you call in the Varia? That is what we were created for old man,” Xanxus managed to pull his attention away from the furious Donna and over to Nonno who looked slightly ashamed while Iemitsu was staring at Dina with a mixture of shock and disgust on his face at seeing her Wrath flames.
“So the Varia didn’t know, I had wondered.” Dina murmured her eyes flicking over to Squalo who was still staring at her with hunger and something like longing on his face.
“She and her Guardians are safe, they are currently at the Callavone Estate being healed and helped by people who care for them. They will remain there until my imouto decides otherwise and do not even think of approaching without permission. My Famiglia does not take kindly to uninvited guests and less so those who are visiting.” Dina warned, her eyes flashing brightly as her flames flared up showcasing her power to back up her words of warning.
“Xanxus, Squalo, you and your own are welcome but don’t come expecting a fight with Tsu-Chan or Takeshi-Kun as they will not be up for it for a while,” Dina said to the Varia members in the room.
“Voi! Fuck that! I want to fight with you!” Squalo exclaimed.
“Get in line shark-trash, she’s fighting me first. I want to test her Wrath.” Xanxus cut in and Dina simply let out a laugh before turning on her heels.
“Be warned, I was Reborn’s first student and he taught me more than just how to be a Donna.” Dina tossed over her shoulder as she waltzed out of the room, leaving a trail of stunned men in her wake.
“No wonder you almost made her your Sky shark-trash,” Xanxus commented.
“Voi! She’s grown a lot since then, you may be in trouble, shitty boss!” Squalo laughed before grinning at the thought of not only fighting Dina himself but also watching Xanxus face off against her.
“Now, let’s deal with the fact you kept baby boss’ kidnapping a secret from your own damn Famiglia.” Xanxus cocked his guns, feeding his surging Wrath flames into them as he turned on the pale men at the other end of the table.
Title: Not a Date
Author: Seito
Rating: T
Pairing: Dino/Xanxus
Prompt: Cloud Day [Kidnapping] for @khrrarepairweek
Tags/Warnings: Kidnapping, Tsundere!Xanxus,
Summary: “Is this a date?” Dino asked. Had he been kidnapped for a date?!
Across from him, Xanxus scowled. “It’s not a date.”
It was clearly a date.
Dino looked around. White tablecloths, polished silverware, and faint sound of violins over the speaker. A single red rose on the table and what looked like a very expensive bottle of red wine, readied to be open. All that was missing was a candle. “Is this a date?” Had he been kidnapped for a date?!
Across from him, Xanxus scowled. “It’s not a date.”
It was clearly a date. Maybe Reborn wouldn’t kill him for screwing up so badly that he had gotten kidnapped, if Dino told him that Xanxus was the one to do it, because of a date. This was a date. There was no other explanation.
Xanxus scowled harder. “It’s not a date,” he repeated.
“Chocolate for the ugly horse, from the stupid boss sitting across from you,” Bel said, appearing out of nowhere. He dropped an entire box of chocolate, wrapped in gold paper onto Dino’s lap. “And-”
Xanxus grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and threw him across the room.
Almost on cue, the door had swung open, causing Bel to fly out of the room. Lussuria popped his head in. He rolled in a salad cart with a skip in his step and a smile so wide. “Look at you two!” he cooed.
Dino raised as eyebrow as Xanxus wretched the cart out of Lussuria’s hands and kicked him out of the room.
“Have fun!!” Lussuria called out as Xanxus slammed the door shut.
Xanxus wheeled the cart back, dumping in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic and black pepper into the bowl and mixing. Olive oil, lemon juice and parmesan cheese followed next before he added in the leafy greens.
Dino tilted his head. Since when did Xanxus learn to make Caesar Salad tableside?
“Nosy trash,” Xanxus grumbled, slamming the bowl of salad in front of Dino with little fitness. “They’ll leave us alone.”
Doors slammed open again.
“VOI! I heard two lovebirds wanted the biggest best cut of steak we had!” Squalo said, dropping two plates with juicy steak on the table.
Dino raised an eyebrow as Xanxus whipped out his gun to shoot Squalo who calmly defected it with his sword, shit-eating grin never wavering for a second. “Enjoy your date!” he said, waving goodbye.
“This is not a date,” Xanxus said through clenched teeth.
“Uh huh,” Dino said. He had been kidnapped for worst reasons. In fact, for a “not-date” this is was actually really nice. Squalo even remembered that he liked his steak on the well done side.
(Plus the ever pragmatic side that Reborn had helped cultivate could easily see the benefits of this: further tie alliances between Cavallone Famiglia and Vongola Famiglia, the Varia were always people to keep on their good side, and fostering ‘friendships’ and connections. It also helped that Xanxus was good looking and Dino knew under that rough exterior, a good man and leader.)
“Dessert!!” Levi said, rolling in a cart with a towering chocolate cake shaped in Xanxus’ image.
Dino choked back his laughter. He knew Levi worshiped Xanxus, but an entire cake Xanxus seemed a little excessive.
And then Mammon wheeled in a matching cake shaped as Dino himself.
Dino stared at it; a squawk dying in his throat.
He barely registered Xanxus moved. Dino blinked and both Levi, Mammon and the cakes were out of the window. “Fucking idiots!” Xanxus yelled, slamming the door shut.
The shouts of the rest of the Varia could be heard through the doors.
Dino felt amusement bubble in his chest. Honestly, it really shouldn’t have been that surprising. It was very… Varia Quality all things considered.
“This was a fun not-date,” Dino said. He tilted his head, smile growing. “I also like movies.”
“Movies,” Xanxus mumbled to himself.
Dino’s smile blossomed into a full grin. “Thank you for the not-date. Feel free to kidnap me again.”
