Squalo laughs, loud and nearly overly gleeful at the prospect that Xanxus knew what would make him smile when he really put his ass to it. And spoiling him with insane missions that no one with even half an ounce of sense would take. But again, Squalo's never been particularly sane, the man in front of him paying him affection was more than proof of it. And just to drive that thought home, he smiles wide and sharp pressing his lips close to Xanxus's ear as he dug his hands into the man's shoulder to at least attempt to brace himself for any retaliation.
“Careful Boss, someone might hear you complimenting me too much and think you're going soft,” he taunts, grabbing an earlobe with his teeth and tugging lightly. “Hell, if you're not careful, might think I need to be more mouthy just to get reminded that you're not gonna start crooning love songs at me from a window and hold a fucking boom box or whatever over your head.” Yeah, he's an asshole and sure, maybe he'd have not taken the time to remind Xanxus that people could possibly catch him with his affection back then. But he's not that person, not really, not anymore. Too much was different and he liked it now. Liked the way he still gets let into the wrathful man's little bubble and give as good as he got – or just about as good.
“See that you don't, the day you do I'm assuming you're an impostor and cutting your head off. After all, my loyalties to you, not some shitty dick who can't remember even the most basic things in life.” Of course, no one would ever really call his loyalty basic, not really, but to Xanxus, he at least thought it was a basic and irrefutable fact.
