Summary: Squalo gives Dino a lesson in good music
Warnings: I sort of call a lot bands gay, try not to take offense, Because I like most of the bands that Squalo insults. And I wrote it.
Disclaimer: Don't own Reborn. And the lyrics are all Fall Out Boy's.
Squalo was already in a bad mood. Just because he cut off a teacher’s arm because he was too weak doesn't mean he should have to be roommates with him. HIM. Of all people. Those fucking teachers sure know how to give out a good punishment. And now the loud music coming from his blonde roommates iPod speakers was just the cherry on the pudding. That blonde faggot had the music up so loud that he could hear the faggy lyrics from his bed.
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how
Misery loved me
Fall Out Boy? How could someone have such bad music tastes? Squalo thought.
And then, just to make Squalo's mood even better, Dino joined in the singing.
"You always fold just before you're found out Drink up its last call, last resort, but only the first mistake and I..." Dino did a perfect rendition of Patrick Stump's vocals.
At least the fag can sing, Squalo though viciously.
"I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I'll write them So you need them just to get by"
"HEY! Look, faggot." Squalo said, but it seemed to be met with death ears. "HEY! FAGGOT!" He tried again with a much louder voice.
Dino removed the white headphone from his ear, "Huh? Did you say something Squalo?"
"HEY! Look, turn your music off! I'm trying to think about ways to get that fucking teacher back!"
"Awww but Squalo... This is what I normally do... And you are in my room..."
"Well if you're going to listen to some music you might as well listen to some good music! What do you have on that thing?"
Squalo said motioning to the mp3 player with a nod of his head.
"Hmmmm I've got the wicked soundtrack?"
"Fag"
"Fall Out boy?"
"Fag"
"My Chemical Romance?"
"Oh them. They like the penis."
"30 Seconds to Mars?"
"You just get gayer by the second."
"The Offspring?"
"What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"Well what would you consider to be "GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC" Dino said impersonating Squalo.
"Surely you must have some Metalica?"
"Who?"
"Nirvana?"
"Uh..."
"Ozzy?"
"Mozzy?"
"No. Black Sabbath?"
"Uhhhhhhh...."
"Now you must have Dragonforce... You have to have Dragonforce..."
"Umm... No."
"Surely at least you have heard of them!"
"Uhh.... What songs did they do?"
"... Through The Fire and Flames, Cry For Eternity, Where Dragons rule?"
"In that case... No." The young boy said nervously, a little afraid of how his silver haired roommate might react.
"What the fuck?!" Squalo screamed, "You need some musical education!" Squalo kicked the bag at his feet until it's contents sprawled onto the ground around him, he reached down and picked up his mp3 player off the ground, "It's about time you heard some real music,"
"Umm... sure..." Dino said a little scared of Squalo's aggressive attitude, "Do you have any speakers?"
"HEY! Who do you think I am? Bill Fucking Gates? We're just going to have to share the headphones," Squalo said, "Well what the fuck are you waiting for? The headphones aren't twenty meters long! You're going to have to sit next to me!" Squalo said motioning to a spot on the bed next to him.
Dino cautiously sat down next him on the soft bed, " So... um... what are we going to be listening to first?"
"Hey! We'll be listening to my favourite band! Dragonforce!" Squalo shouted, he slammed the other headphone into Dino's ear, and pressed play. All of a sudden loud drums, loud guitars and more loud guitars were blaring in Dino's left ear. Then there was the hair. Squalo was moshing away to his favourite band.
Squalo's constant movement made it very hard for him to keep his headphone in his ear, Dino had to put it back in four times before the first verse had even started. Once the first verse had stopped Dino was confused, "Is that it?" He had to scream because the music was so loud.
"No way! This is just the short guitar solo!" Screamed his music instructor.
-20 minutes later-
"HEY! Now we're just about to get to the long guitar solo!"
-50 minutes later-
"HEY! Now we're getting to the finale of the song!"
-30 minutes later-
"Haha! Now that’s just the first song on the album!" Squalo panted, exhausted from the head banging and screaming, he looked down to see Dino asleep on his bed. "HEY! What are you doing asleep! We've only listened to one song! HEY! WAKE UP!" Squalo screamed slapping him on the face.
Dino became quickly alert after he felt the red hot mark on his face, "Keep it down!" he whispered close to Squalo's face, "You've been making a lot of noise, and its already 1 in the morning! The teachers are probably already walking in here right now to tell us off!" As if on cue, there was a loud scurry of footsteps outside, 'Quickly! Turn the light off! And get underneath the sheets with me!"
Squalo flicked the switch by his head and jumped underneath the covers curled up next to Dino, just in time too, as he ducked his head under the covers the door creaked open, Squalo gripped onto Dino's t-shirt tightly. Squalo was wondering why Dino was just so god damn comfortable and had such nice smelling hair. I wonder which conditioner he uses? Squalo pondered, his thoughts drifting. The moshing he had been doing earlier had taken it out of him, he was slowly falling asleep next to his music student.
"Sweet Dreams..."
That whisper from his blonde haired roommate was the last thing Squalo remembered hearing before he feel asleep in his arms.
