    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

    You and Kakyoin take a moment to yourselves one evening, while getting closer to Cairo - the grave destination ahead of you. How easy it is, to take things for granted until suddenly the reality sets in, and you find them at risk.

    At least there's some comfort to be found in mutual company.
