Work Text:

"Fuck, he’s all I think about.”

“For the love of God, just tell him!”

Leone pouted and crossed his arms. “I can’t.”

“Pray fuckin’ tell.” Risotto flung his arms in the air. “Why can’t you tell him?”

“Cuz’ what if he’s straight? I’ve heard countless stories of people abandoning their friends just because they have a crush on them. I’ve got a snowball’s chance in hell of ever being his boyfriend.” Leone frowned as Risotto started laughing. “What?”

Risotto wheezed. “You.. You honestly think Bruno Buccellati is straight?”

“Yeah? What makes you so sure that he isn’t?”

“With how comfortable he is around you, I’d say there’s a pretty good chance he likes you back.” Leone thought for a moment. Yeah, Bruno has been kind of touchy-feely lately. He picked at the dirt under his black-painted nails. I was planning to visit him next Saturday…

“What if you asked him on a date or something?” Risotto scratched his head. “Oh, what if you asked him to prom?”

“You dumbass!” Leone threw a pillow at him. “I’m afraid to confess to him, how the hell is asking him to prom any fuckin’ better?”

“I’m just trying to give you ideas!”

“Your ‘ideas’ sound like they came from a shitty Netflix movie. And don’t think that just because it worked for you and Melone, it’s gonna work for me.”

“Him offering to eat my ass at homecoming was the most romantic thing that ever happened to me.”

“Shut the fuck up! That was so fucking stupid.”

“But it worked!” Leone rolled his eyes and checked his phone.

Bruno

yo what if dogs could shit in bathrooms like people

Leone chuckled.

"Talking to your boyfriend?” Risotto teased.

Leone punched Risotto’s arm. “Shut the hell up!

“Dude, trust me! Shoot your shot! You have a good chance, I swear!”

Leone’s expression softened. “You.. really think so?”

“I know so.” Leone smiled. Saturday I’ll tell him.

I hope he feels the same way.
