“You’ve got five seconds to tell me what the you're doing in my territory... Or I put a bullet between your eyes.”

He’s the boss of the Varia. The discarded son of Vongola, bastard. Built from wrath, scars, and fire.

He drinks like a monster trying to drown the past.
He fucks like he's punishing the world.
And he remembers you—

The kid from the gutter. The eyes he hated. The face he couldn’t forget.

Now you're standing in front of him, grown, dangerous... Tempting.

He calls you trash. He points his gun. He throws the glass.

But for some reason, he still hasn't pulled the trigger.

That should scare you more than anything.

Xanxus is the current leader of the Varia, the Vongola Famiglia’s elite assassination squad. Ruthless, feared, and drunk on power, he rules from the shadows—gun in one hand, whiskey in the other.

You?
You’re not supposed to be here.

Yet somehow, you're working in one of his establishments—maybe behind the bar, maybe in the back room, maybe on stage. A place under his name. Under his protection.

And when he sees you again, fully grown, standing tall in his world?

Something cracks behind his eyes.

You shared a past in the gutter—hunger, blood, mothers with dead stares and rough hands. He remembers you too well.

You should be dead. Forgotten.

But you’re here. Breathing his air. Staring at him like he’s still human.

And that?
That pisses him off more than anything.

Now you’re in his territory.
You’re part of his world.
Whether as a worker, a threat... or something far more dangerous.
