I gave myself some feelings about the Varia pre-Cradle Affair today, so have a bullet-point style-ish fic-like thing
Picturing a Varia slumber party the night before the Cradle Affair
Just Xanxus, Levi, and Lussuria fighting over the clippers because they want new edgy haircuts for the battle. There's a shopping bag with bleach and hair dye off to the side because Luss also wants to dye his hair and "Wouldn't it look so colorful and stunning? ^-^"
Bel passed out somewhere. On a couch, in someone's lap, curled up in the corner on a blanket pile. Come morning he'll 100% deny ever falling asleep, but Mammon has pictures of him yawning and jerking himself awake until sleep finally won
There's music playing just a bit too loud, and every fight (between Squalo and Xanxus in particular) that breaks out over it results in it being turned up even higher
Magazines and catalogs of all kinds spread all over the floor. The latest in weapons, sports, fashion, cars, and hot models are all represented. Some pages have been torn, paper airplanes thrown, and at least one magazine is stuck up on the ceiling somehow. The model's face smiling down upon them
The room smells of polish and hair spray and takeout, and they talk and laugh and fight until just before dawn
And then when the battle's over, they come back to find it all still out. A time capsule of the Before. It's days, maybe weeks, maybe even never before they can bring themselves to clean it all up
And sometimes when they're alone, though they would never admit it, Mammon pulls out the pictures from that night and runs their hands over the feral grins caught in fading color
