Notes: ♪ Spoilers for the whole anime? Yes.
♪ #18 and 29 totally related to Dino's song. :p
#01 - Comfort
There was one thing you couldn’t ask Squalo to do, but when he put his hand on his shoulder, Dino felt better.
#02 - Kiss
A wave of rage rushed in Squalo’s veins after he bumped into Dino kissing his soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend; he was mad not because this damn horse should learn how to behave, but because he had wanted for a second being at the girl’s place.
#03 - Soft
Squalo decided to follow Xanxus because he liked his rudeness; in the privacy of his room though, he was nearly preferring Dino’s softness.
#04 - Pain
The teeth of the shark tearing his skin was a pain he could never forget, but Dino’s fingers on the scars made it more bearable.
#05 - Potatoes
“Leave me alone!” said a very depressed and upset Dino, mouth full with potato chips, and Squalo sighed that the Cavallone boss really had female hormones sometimes.
#06 - Rain
“After the rain comes the sun” they use to say; that was also true for Squalo and Dino.
#07 - Chocolate
“Considering that I’m the manlier between us, you’ll get me chocolates for Valentine’s Day” said Dino before Squalo smashed his grinning face.
#08 - Happiness
Happiness was just a shirt away, Squalo realized when Dino took off his clothes.
#09 - Telephone
“What are you wearing now?” “YOU PERVERTED HORSE, DON’T USE THE PHONE FOR THAT!!!”
#10 - Ears
Dino knew that if he stayed in touch with Squalo, he would probably end up deaf sooner than usual.
#11 - Name
In Squalo’s opinion, how could the Cavallone’s name stand against the shiny and powerful Varia’s?
#12 - Sensual
He would never admit it, but Dino’s tattoos were a big plus in the horse’s sex-appeal, Squalo felt.
#13 - Death
Squalo had been sure that he’d be the first to pass away; destiny had finally made him wrong by taking Dino’s life before his.
#14 - Sex
Squalo woke up first after a very drunk night; more than his sore hips, that was the sight of a naked Dino asleep by his side that made him scream.
#15 - Touch
A shark’s heart is very hard to find, even more when this particular shark was named Squalo; only Dino knew where to press.
#16 - Weakness
Dino’s weakness was also his strength: the dedication to someone, and Squalo knew it more than anyone else.
#17 - Tears
“Screw it, it’s raining in May” said Squalo, and Dino would never tell him that the sun was shining.
#18 - Speed
Dino’s singing was starting to get on Squalo’s nerves, and when he hummed “be more slowly” one more time, he ran away.
#19 - Wind
Dino liked Japan a lot during the warm season; but the freezing wind that was blowing every single winter was enough to make him nostalgic about his Italy.
#20 - Freedom
The only thing that Squalo could ever find only with Xanxus was the possibility to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
#21 - Life
Being a part of the Mafia was a promise of short life, Dino knew it and enjoyed every part of it; but he largely enjoyed a lot more being close to death when Squalo was near.
#22 - Jealousy
Dino envied so much Squalo’s beautiful and long hair that he decided to stop cutting his own.
#23 - Hands
Squalo spent too much time staring at Dino’s long and strong fingers; so much time that the Cavallone noticed and offered immediately to show him what he could do with them.
#24 - Taste
Dino’s skin tasted like sugar and musk, and Squalo sadly had a spot for them.
#25 - Devotion
Squalo’s devotion to the Vongola had never been obvious until the day he agreed to stay behind to let the kids escape.
#26 - Forever
Dino felt a little stupid when he made the ring he was going to offer Squalo engraved with “Forever”; that was maybe too blatant?
#27 - Blood
It was maybe the temperature or more likely the view of Dino, but Squalo wished his blood wouldn’t run to that particular spot of his own body.
#28 - Sickness
When Dino found himself sick, he just smiled; he would not die by Squalo’s hands after all.
#29 - Melody
“Be more hard” was a line Squalo wanted his friend to sing less often; he didn’t need to be told.
#30 - Star
“If you hide the stars with a rainy cloud, how am I supposed to find my way?” asked Dino, to what his fellow answered with a laugh.
#31 - Home
The Varia’s headquarters looked nothing like a real mansion; that was Squalo’s only house after he ran away from Dino.
#32 - Confusion
The Cavallone boss had for duty to marry and give an heir to the family; Dino wondered where he would find a woman able to stand living near the oh-so-loud Squalo.
#33 - Fear
Squalo defeated, Dino feared for his life for the first time when Daisy countered his most efficient attack.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
That was like thunder in his mind: the great Emperor of Swords, his friend, had been taken down by the enemy.
#35 - Bonds
Romario understood more than what he showed: the bonds between his boss and the Varia’s shark were obviously deeper than what other people thought.
#36 - Market
Tsuna was close to become the best part of the Mafia wedding market; but as long as Dino would remain single, he would just be second.
#37 - Technology
Dino had never been good with technology, so when he managed to open his box at the first try, Squalo was truly impressed.
#38 - Gift
“Squaloooo, I think the bucking horse sent something with ribbons for youuuuuu~” purred Lussuria.
#39 - Smile
Dino’s bright and warm smile was the best remedy to distress, and to many other things for Squalo.
#40 - Innocence
“And you said I should put this… where?” asked Dino on the phone while examining a very weird object sent over by his friend.
#41 - Completion
Squalo closed the door behind him, a satisfied smile on his lips; he bet the horse couldn’t walk for a few days after that.
#42 - Clouds
There was someone who would ruin all the shark’s plans and he wished he was not an ally to crush him; the Cloud Guardian was not an easy opponent.
#43 - Sky
Xanxus and Dino had the same element, but there was more of the Storm in the Varia’s boss, and Squalo liked it.
#44 - Heaven
There was no Heaven for hitmen and Squalo didn’t care; at least he would be spared of Dino’s presence.
#45 - Hell
Dino was very right to hide after the very crowded birthday party he had set up for Squalo.
#46 - Sun
The Sun was very bright, warm and golden, and so was Dino.
#47 - Moon
The Moon was fade, cold and silvery, and so was Squalo… but you better never tell him.
#48 - Waves
The rain element was useful to calm down other persons… a capacity not really fitting Squalo’s personality.
#49 - Hair
When asked why he wanted to be closed to Squalo, Dino always answered “I want to know his secret to have such long hair”.
#50 - Supernova
Whenever they fought, people around ran away of fear: yells, explosions, hits… that was their way of showing their love.
