Prompt: Day 4 - Lightning Day: Childhood Friends AU @khrrarepairweek
Summary: They meet in a ruined church on days when lightning splits the sky—Xanxus and the boy with one visible eye, as elusive as mist.
*** Excerpt ***
Lightning strikes, flashing in shards across the stained glass, casting streaks of red and blue over thin arms marked by uneven brands, crooked stitches, and punctures that make the boy look like a ragdoll.
“What the hell—”
“Science,” Mukuro cuts in, replying to what was more expletive than question, grinning. “The future of the Mafia.”
Xanxus looks away. The Mafia...? Like, those big-shot families his mother screams about when she’s all fevered and wild-eyed? He wants to tell the boy it’s not funny, there’s nothing worth grinning about. He doesn’t. He shifts where he stands, jaw clenched, as the motion tugs at the bandages wrapped tight around the tender skin under his own shirt.
That single visible blue eye flicks toward Xanxus’s torso. “Your turn.”
“No.”
