Hello,Its me again ;). Since you came back with your khr fic ,i rewatch all the episodes and now i begin to read manga. I cant stop to fall in love (again!!!) with all characters. So I would like a au fkc where Xanxus is Ketsuis sky and she lives with Varia.
Writing a whole little one-shot for this one would spiral completely out of control because it’s a really fun idea and I’ve thought about an AU for it before so I’ll give you the fat headcanons, I HOPE THAT’S OKAY <333
- Ketsui is brought to Italy by her mother after being told by the Cervello what her purpose is—since Xanxus is her sky, Nico decides to train her rigorously and under the Ninth’s discretion as Xanxus’ personal bodyguard (neither the Ninth or Xanxus are aware of Ketsui’s “true purpose”)
- When they first meet, Xanxus doesn’t really care much for her. She’s quiet, hardly even speaks, but she does as she’s told and follows orders. He likes that. He’s too focused on becoming the best, becoming the strongest, he doesn’t need anything stupid like a bodyguard.
- Ketsui follows him around most of the time, and it annoys the hell out of him at first before it becomes useful. He sends her off on errands all the time when they’re young, stupid, ridiculous shit she never complains about, just does without a word. When’s he’s particularly vexed, he lashes out at her and curses and tells her she’s just mute and stupid.
- Ketsui doesn’t say anything.
- She trains very, very hard. Her training regime is strict and rigorous and Xanxus is aware of this. He works very hard to make sure he is always stronger than her and they spar often—organized fights ranging from hand-to-hand or with weapons.
- The first time, she beats him. The second time, he throws a huge fit. The third time he refuses to speak to her. He’s mad. He hates that some stupid, mute idiot would even be able to best him. (How can he become the next head like this, how can he show that he deserves it, how can he—)
- The fourth time is the final time. Xanxus wins. He’s bruised and tired but he wins, he finally fucking wins. Ketsui is quiet and bloody and bruised and she quietly looks up at him and she smiles, a very quiet, “Good job, Xanxus.”
- He doesn’t know why he didn’t kill her then and there. He should’ve. It would’ve saved him grief.
- Xanxus starts to watch her, really watch her. He starts to notice things, weird habits of hers, small mannerisms that show she has a bit of personality. Small. But moldable. He has the power to make her into whatever kind of person he wants her to be. Whatever he needs on his conquest for power.
- He doesn’t. It’s too much work.
- “Shitty piece of trash, why were you given to me?”
- Ketsui looks at him, the way she always does, like nothing else exists beyond him for her and in some weird, warped, twisted way, he likes that. He wants it. It makes him feel—
- “Because I only exist because of you.”
- The answer pisses him off. He tells her that. Ketsui accepts it in silence and then their dynamic changes.
- She doesn’t run stupid errands for him anymore. She isn’t his personal punching bag or whipping horse—Ketsui is always only two steps behind him and he keeps her there, close and in his shadow. Xanxus becomes possessive. Protective. He has her status as just below his own because no one will ever be above him, but she is exactly what he wants by his side. She is now and irreplacable part of his vision.
- Ketsui doesn’t really care either way. She likes that he doesn’t yell at her anymore though. She realizes steak is a good food and it becomes a favorite. She starts to like wine. Xanxus only yells at her when she does things that piss him off, like liking the things he likes. He forces her to eat different things and tells her to like something else.
- When Squalo joins, she decides that she does not like loud people, nor is she fond of how loud he is, but Ketsui appreciates his role and the part he plays in Xanxus’ life. Squalo thinks she’s strange at first but after fighting her and deeming her not-weak, decides she’s interesting enough
- Once the Varia forms, the dynamics are often varied.
- Ketsui respects Squalo the most, she defers to him for all issues and choices and believes in his capabilities. She’s also probably the only one of the Varia who treats him with as much respect as he deserves, which Squalo doesn’t say but shows his appreciation by killing off weaklings for her on missions
“You didn’t have to do that, Vice Leader Squalo.”
“Stop calling me that stupid name, voi!”
- They spend a lot of time together going over Xanxus’ problems and paperwork, Squalo puts her in charge when he’s away and even though Ketsui doesn’t crack down on the members, shit always manages to get done somehow
- Lussuria thinks she’s cute but she can be cuter, he really, really wants her to be cuter. He tries to feed her different foods and get her to take better care of her health but he finds Ketsui is very tough case.
- Ketsui thinks Levi is… strange, but she doesn’t complain. He also always does his work the best and is utterly devoted to Xanxus, she appreciates that she doesn’t have to worry about him stabbing Xanxus in the back
- She thinks Mamon is interesting. Mamon’s obsession with money is of a particular interest to her because Ketsui doesn’t entirely get the whole thing, but she likes watching Mamon count or go about business. She tends to spend time with Mamon and because she’s quiet, Mamon never complains.
- Belphegor is the hardest problem for her, he teases and causes trouble and a mess a lot and Ketsui is often left frowning or giving him strange, blank looks. He likes messing with her to try to get a rise out of her but it’s rather difficult with someone like Ketsui, he sees this as a challenge.
- When he tells her to call him prince she does it, Belphegor likes this a lot
- She sees herself as more of an older sister to him, he likes teasing her second best and spending time with her second just behind Mamon. They’re actually a really good team. He likes to take naps on her or get in her way when she’s working (kicking his feet on her desk, bothering her, breaking something like a cat)
- Ketsui is the best at handling him and getting him to do what he’s told, it’s a mystery to the newer Varia members who are too afraid of getting a knife to the head
- It’s taboo for any Varia member to point out that Ketsui can only really sleep peacefully when she’s either dead on her feet or on the couch in Xanxus’ office, it’s also taboo for any member to ask about the nature of their relationship, the last member that asked was shot.
