i have a very strange vision of relationship between squalo and dino, it is based solely on my interpretation of their joint moments and headcanons, here is my rambling and some disconnected thoughts.
for me they are doomed friends, separated by fate and their loyalties (one dedicated his loyalty to his family, the other to one person).
i think that dino partly blames himself for indirectly influencing the fact that squalo and xanxus met. he does not blame himself for what happened next - it was all squalo's desire, he did everything consciously, dino respects this, even if he does not approve and does not understand why such devotion went to xanxus. dino will never understand squalo and his path, but i think he misses his friend sometimes and sometimes he mourns what could have been if their friendship had grown stronger.
on the other hand, i think squalo never thought dino had anything to do with his meeting xanxus - he thinks they were linked by fate. i think that despite this, dino was the first person squalo could call a friend. he doesn't regret a single thing he did after the meeting with xanxus, and after that he didn't have much time to think about his relationship with dino (just like dino didn't have time for that - he was saving his family). i think squalo respects dino for saving his family, but he has a lot of questions about the "alliance" of vongola and cavallone. i think that squalo is not a fan of remembering the past or regretting his actions, but he has nothing against getting close to dino again (because of vongola kids).
but despite everything i think that most often after the battle of the rings they both thought that it would have been better if they had never met (dino because varia made a MESS which meant problems for him and squalo because dino was preventing them from achieving their dream)
it seems to me that no matter what, in each other's eyes they will remain ghosts of those children that they were before, because it hurts less.
and they’ll never choose each other, because there is someone more important for them even if they’d like to be friends.
they are sooo this part of “no children” coded for me (not a full song, just this little part)
and I hope when you think of me years down the line
you can't find one good thing to say
and I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
you'd stay the hell out of my way
