A request from my Tumblr
🐞🐞🐞
"Do I really have to come" you asked your Capo thought the phone as you looked towards your boyfriend.
"Yes you do, Don's orders" he sternly spoke. You let out a sigh, today was supposed to be free from worry.
"Ok… I'll be there at 6pm" you said before hanging up. You saw your boyfriend pout as he heard your words.
"(Y/n), why did you say that, you've been working nights for weeks" he huffed. You felt your heart wanting to burst. For all he knew you were a nurse. He had no idea what your real job was, you wanted to tell him but you knew that it was safer to keep him blind to the Mafia.
"They offered me triple for overtime, you know we need the money" you responded with a sigh. He clung onto your shoulder and looked at you with worrying eyes.
"You shouldn't push yourself so far, I don't want you to become ill because of all that pent up stress" he said as he nuzzled into you chest.
"I promise I'll make it up to you" you whispered into his ear.
"You always say that…" those words pierced you. You hated when he reminded you of those broken promises.
"I really do mean it this time" you said as you kissed his forehead.
🐞🐞🐞
You sat in the limousine, pouring a small glass of cognac as you waited for your Capo. You slumped back before taking a sip.
"Seems you arrived early" a familiar voice said. You looked towards the door to see him walking through the door.
"So why did the Don need me" you asked. It had only been three months since the previous Don had been killed.
"Well it only seems fair, you did replace Squadra Esecuziono single handedly" he responded.
"That is a huge over statement" you retorted as you took another sip.
"I'm sure the previous Don had his personal guards do most of the work, so don't try boosting my ego. I'm simply just piece in the game" you continued.
"I know you don't like to seem arrogant but trust me, you have what it takes to be a Capo yourself. You have a calm composure and a good sense of judgement" he said as he poured himself a glass.
"INXS is a great stand for one such as yourself" he then commented as the limousine started.
🐞🐞🐞
Your eyes wandered as you walked through the halls, looking at the opulent interior. From detailing painted in gold, pillars carved into perfect form and pieces of art that screamed suficicaion. You felt so small in this large hallway.
"So… what's the new Don like? If you've seen him that is" you asked the Capo.
"How would you respond if he was one year younger than you" he asked.
"Your kidding me!" You exclaimed.
"See for yourself" he responded as you both reached the doors, beyond these doors was the man who you would serve with your life to.
You took a deep breath and closed your eyes before pushing the french doors open and saw the Don himself sitting like a king on his throne. His hair like small threads of gold, his eyes as blue as the sky, his body was smaller than most men but still had tone to it and his skin a slight pale tone. He looked like a living porcelain doll. You were stuck in awe.
"I am glad to finally be able to meet you in person (Y/n)" he spoke in a soft tone and his lips titled into a small smile.
"Likewise Don..." you said as you bowed down before him.
"Giovanna, Giorno Giovanna" he said as he walked towards you.
You stood back up and looked at your Capo.
"Your probably wondering why I summoned you here" Giorno said.
"Yes, I am" you responded.
"I'm sure you've heard about what happened to most of the former Don's guards" he began to explain. You gave him a nod.
"I knew that when I became Don I would need some form of protection, so I looked though the profiles of various members in our organisation" he continued.
"I thought you would fit the role perfectly" he concluded. You were shocked, the new Don wanted you to be his bodyguard. It was flattering sure but you knew it would be a time consuming job, not to mention the excuses you would have to come up with for your boyfriend.
"I'm flattered by your offer but I don't know if I could accept-"
"Take your time, I'm sure your overwhelmed by my proposal. I'll give you all the time you need to decide" he said as he placed a hand on your shoulder, which caused you to flinch. He had a bright warm smile on his face that made you wonder how someone who seemed so gentle could have killed the former Don.
🐞🐞🐞
From the balcony Giorno watched as you left in the limousine. A dreamy expression plastered on his face, his heart fluttered.
'He's even more handsome in person' the blonde thought, causing a pinkish hue to cover his face before he covered his face.
'what am I thinking?' he thought as he let out a sigh.
Giorno was confused, he was well aware of sexuality but he just couldn't comprehend how he could fall so desperately in love with someone he had only interacted with once, maybe his thoughts would clear if got to know you more.
🐞🐞🐞
You sighed as you opened the door, you felt so relieved to be back home. The TV's light illuminating the lounge room and your boyfriend asleep on the lounge. had been waiting for you to get home. You smiled before shuffling right beside him, you didn't care how uncomfortable the lounge was. As long as you were with him.
🐞🐞🐞
A month had passed since Don Giovanna had offered you the position, you still hadn't given him a response. Your Capo was constantly asking why you hadn't taken it up already but you never responded to him.
You had done a few tasks for the Don. Mainly escorting him to Mob affiliated events, however despite that he had always kept you close by. He'd ask you questions about yourself, from your favourite books and bands to more personal questions like your upbringing and daily life. He just seemed so interested in you, maybe it was just him wanting to know about the person he would put his trust in or maybe he was just curious.
It was a pleasant day and with a day off you decided to keep your promise that you made. You and your boyfriend sat down at the rock at the marina watching the sunset, not the most extravagant date sure but the greatest pleasures came from the smallest of acts.
"(Y/n) it's beautiful" he mumbled as he rested his head on your shoulder.
"I knew you would love it" you whispered as you pecked his cheek.
Time seemed to stop and it was perfect, you wanted this moment to last forever but a voice tore you out.
"(Y/n) what a coincidence" a familiar voice said. You quickly turned your head. To your shock it was Giorno, standing on the nearby dock.
"(Y/n) who's this?" Your boyfriend said as he shuffled away. You a mental breakdown. God what were you going to say.
"He he was one of my patients, how's you arm going Giorno?" you lied.
you saw the amusement in his expression but he simply played along.
"Good as new" he responded.
"Oh (Y/n)" your boyfriend said with slight distress in his voice as he looked at his phone.
"Yes"
"My grandma's had a stroke I need to go to the hospital"
"I'll take you"
"No I'll just take a cab, I don't want to trouble you"
"No you take the car, I'll take the cab" you offered to end the back and forward between you two.
"Are you sure?" He asked as you gave him the keys.
"Yes" you said. He gave you a quick hug before climbing up the rocks
"Thank you" he said before disappearing into the distance.
"So your boyfriend doesn't know?" Giorno asked.
"And why do you assume he's my boyfriend?" You retorted as you climbed the rocks.
"I was around longer than you knew" he chuckled, Causing you face to go red. You stood up and looked at him, looking as perfect as usual but his eyes. They weren't as clear as usual, the seemed clouded.
"I'm not bothered in the slightest about your sexuality" he assured you.
An awkward silence between you grew as you had no idea what to say.
"I'd like you to show me your stand, I've heard so much about it" he said
"Heh ok but don't anticipate something powerful" you commented as you summoned INXS, a small mirror in your hand. Giorno gave a confused look before asking.
"So how exactly does it work?"
"Well to put it in simple terms, it reflects the desires of anyone caught in it's reflection. I can use it to disguise myself as someone the desire or have it creates an object of their desire" you explained.
"So what do you do from there?" He asked.
"Well I can get close to my target without worry of them being sceptical or I can make a trap out of their desired object" you continued.
"Interesting, most stand users in Passioné have more offensive stand but you use yours to simply trick your target" he said.
"It's not about the ability, it's about how it's used" you replied to the blonde.
"Show me how it works" he ordered.
"Well sure but I'll let you know that I see myself as normal while it's active, so you don't have to worry about me prying into your secrets" you said as you held out the mirror so his reflection was shown.
"See what I mean"
"No you look the same to me" Giorno said with a confused look.
"That's funny I'm sure I got your reflection" you said as you tried again.
"Has it worked now?" You asked.
"No" he replied. It baffled you, why wasn't your stand working? Did it possibly have something to do with his stand?
You looked around and saw someone on the boardwalk just to the side and you pointed INXS at them.
"You look very pretty but I think I prefer you in your normal form" the blonde snickered. Your face turned bright red as you heard him say that but you tried to think of what he said as a joke.
"What do I look like…"
"You have long, wavy blonde hair. Slightly tanned skin, light grey eyes and a very slender figure for a lady" he explained. You instantly retracted your stand, causing you to return to your normal form.
"I'm glad I got to see you today (Y/n)" Giorno said with a small smile on his face.
"And why would that be" you asked.
"Because your a pleasant person to be around and honestly it's easier to talk to you, I feel like I can act like myself " he said.
"I'm flattered but-" you began to speak before Giorno cut you off.
"I want you to come with me" he ordered.
"Giorno this is unexpected, I really should get going, I don't know how my boyfriend is going to feel when he gets home" you explained as you tried to back away from him.
"I can take you to your house after" he stated through grit teeth as he grabbed you by the wrist, his gentle persona slowly deteriorating more with every mention of you significant other.
He dragged you into the limousine.
"What is going on?" You asked him as he slammed the door shut.
"You trust me right?" He asked. You obviously had your doubts about what he was doing at this point but you wouldn't dare tell him.
"Of course I do boss" you said as you tried to remain calm.
"Who do you trust more me or him?" He asked, his eyes becoming more clouded.
"What do you mean by 'him'"
"Your boyfriend" he hissed.
"What does my boyfriend have to do with this?" You yelled at him.
"I want what he has, I want your loyalty and your undying affections… I want you to be right beside me" he stated as he wrapped his arms around you.
"But Boss-"
"Don't call me boss or Don anymore, I want you to call me by name from now on" he whispered in your ear.
"Giorno please understand, I don't see you that way"
"I understand that your confused but you'll realise your feelings for me sooner or later" he mumbled as his hands played with your hair.
"Giono your not thinking straight" you said as you tried to shake him off of you.
He stopped smothering you and gave you a stern look.
"My thoughts are as clear as day, do you think I became Don by just going with a spur of the moment" he hissed.
"And I don't want you to talk about that man ever again, it's not like you'll ever see him again" he continued.
"What did you do to him!?" You screamed.
"I haven't done anything, but I'm sure by now one of my assassins has done away with him" he explained. Everything crumbled around you. Your brain overflowing with thoughts. You had lost the love of your life and something inside of you snapped.
You grabbed Giorno by the shoulders and pushed him into one of the seats.
"You… you…" you mumbled, unable to form a proper sentence as tears formed in your eyes. The blonde male brought a hand to wipe away your tears.
"(Y/n) I can give you whatever you want if you choose me" he lulled to you.
"But if you don't... I just want to remind you that I know everything about you and That I can easily make your life a living hell" he continued, still with a sickeningly sweet tone.
"All you have to do is be right beside me" he cooed before pulling you in for a kiss.
