    Summary

    You would love nothing more to rip out your husband's teeth for all he's done to you – but it seems you're sorely lacking the means.

    How fortunate that Boothill has such a strong grip.

    ~

    A moment passes before you smile, wide and broad and earnest; it feels unfamiliar on your face. Then, you hold out your hand for him to shake, grinning ear-to-ear. “It's wonderful to finally meet you, Boothill.”

    He blinks at you for a moment, then laughs, bright and loud. “Oh, you're a funny one, huh?” Without fuss, he clasps your hand in his, giving it a firm shake; the cool metal of his palm is strangely pleasant against your skin. “The pleasure’s all mine, miss. Heard you've got a pest problem?”

    “Oh, more than just a problem,” you say, your smile sharpening into something dangerous. “It's a damn infestation.”

    A lethal glint shines in his eyes. “Well, consider me your exterminator.”

    Summary

    Long ago, the Emperor of Rome crucified an oracle out of fear of her prophecies. From her mouth, it was decreed that his eldest, Giorno, was fated to be celebrated by history and loved by all but the one he loved most. Then Donatello, who would inherit his bloodlust and sadism but none of his cunning. After him, Ungalo, so hideous that his wet nurses recoiled from him. And Rikiel, doomed to a mind so fragile that his eyes would droop and he would forget to breathe. A prophecy only spoken in hushed whispers behind closed doors, one that never would have reached you in the cramped insula nestled at the foot of the Aventine Hill where you grew up.

    And then Giorno had seen you in the stands from the Imperial Box of the Colosseum, and you found yourself trapped within it.

    You could learn to love him, you decided once he had made you his wife. You could learn, if the cocky gladiator with the pretty green eyes would stop occupying your every waking thought. You could learn, if the woman he had broken his engagement to would stop staring daggers at you.

    You could learn, if you could manage to survive.

    (Or, “plebeian marries the future Emperor of Rome and instead falls in love with his gladiator bodyguard.”)

    Summary

    I sighed. Annoyed because no, that wasn’t right either. It was difficult to describe what this feeling was. To explain something so complex that writing flowery explanations was all human beings and writers seemed interested in doing-
    “Love.” He said softly. He placed a hand on my chestand pressed lightly on this one specific spot with his fingers. “Hurt here. Hurt here good. Love?”
    I bit back tears and nodded. “Yes. The hurt here. That’s love.”

     

    Once you've climbed your way out of the underworld, monster with a kind heart in tow, what do you do? Well you make a life. You cook food for your new best friend, you hide him from the human's who could threaten to take him away and you watch TV. In my experience just like any relationship.
    But what happens when that friendship begins to grow? When that monster begins to see things on TV that confuse him, things he wants to try with you?
    What happens when you both finally begin to grasp for the first time, what I love you truly means?
