Giorno and Mista’s bedroom, April 4, 2021 – Dead Sea
“Good morning, mio caro, Happy Easter. Come on, we have to get ready for the online…Mista?” Giorno Giovanna said as he turned around to find that his husband was not in their bed that Easter morning. “Not again…” He muttered to himself as he began looking for his husband, eventually finding him hiding in the closet with the Sex Pistols around him.
“Sorry tesoro, but I’m gonna stay in here until the day’s over. Cinque, go with Giorno in my place.” Mista said as Giorno opened the closet door and Mista handed him Cinque.
“Alright, let’s go, Cinque.” Giorno replied with a sigh as the little Stand flew over to him and as he left the bedroom, he saw Mista closing the closet door, leaving an opening for light and air. As they headed to the office, they saw that Fugo and Sheila E were already there with Polnareff.
Giorno’s office – Little Lion Man
“Okay, so we’re all here with the exception of Mista who is hiding in our closet this morning. Now then, let’s get started.” The thirty-five-year-old Don said as he pulled up the website for the cathedral and the service began. Afterwards, he shut off his computer and headed to the kitchen while Fugo and Sheila E took Polnareff out into the garden to enjoy the sunlight. “You know, Cinque, why don’t we make some lunch and we’ll take it to the bedroom and share with Mista and the others.” He said to Cinque as they reached the kitchen.
The kitchen – Snake Eyes
“Good idea, but what are you going to make for him?” Cinque asked as Giorno began getting down pots and pans and also searched the cupboards for what he needed.
“Simple, spaghetti alla puttanesca, it was the first thing that he taught me to cook twenty years ago. It was also the first meal that I had with everyone after I joined the gang. In fact, that was the first time that I actually felt like I had a family. After that we were constantly on the move to protect Trish from La Squadra Esecuzioni, but now that things are calmer, I think it’s time to bring back some old memories.” Giorno explained as he made the food for him and Mista and placed it on a tray along with some food for the other Pistols and took it into the bedroom to feed them.
The bedroom – O City Lights
“Mio caro, I’m back and I brought us lunch too.” Giorno said as he had Gold Experience Requiem open the door using vines and walked into the bedroom with the tray laden with food. As he set it down on the table, he heard the closet door open and as Mista came out with the other Pistols, he sat down and rested his head on his hands.
“Why did Easter have to be today?” He asked as the Pistols began to eat with Giorno making sure that Tre didn’t bully Cinque. “Wait, is this…?” He then started to ask as he saw what Giorno had made for them.
“Yeah, spaghetti alla puttanesca, just like what we had twenty years ago at the villa. I figured that since it was the first meal that I shared with everyone, I’d remake it.” Giorno replied as he smiled at the memory of his first meal with the gang.
“Right, you had just joined us and right after that, we had to head out to Capri to get Polpo’s fortune and return it to the organization. By the way, how did he kill himself?” Mista replied, curious as to how the morbidly obese capo was able to commit suicide.
“Simple, I turned one of his guns into a banana with Gold Experience, you see, Black Sabbath had killed a janitor at my school during the test and since he was an innocent bystander, I felt that he had to be avenged.” Giorno explained, hoping that his husband wouldn’t hate him for what he did.
“You know, I had a feeling that was what happened, especially since you were so calm when Bucciarati gave us the news. Besides, I’m glad you killed him, with him gone, Bucciarati became a capo and things changed after that. By the way, should we go to the cemetery sometime soon? I think we need to pay our respects to our deceased comrades.” Mista replied as they ate.
“Good idea, we’ll do that as soon as the lockdown is lifted again.” Giorno replied as they finished and he took the dishes back into the kitchen to wash with Mista following him.
The Kitchen – Ho Hey
“So any news on the rest of your family?” Mista asked as he sat down at the kitchen counter while Giorno washed the dishes.
“Well, Josuke and Rohan moved to the United States and they’re living at what used to be Mr. Joestar’s penthouse, plus, the girls are ten months old and crawling, which means that they have their hands full with keeping them out of trouble.” Giorno replied as he began to relay the news from his Zoom call with his family that morning. After he finished the dishes, he got down some bowls and began to make a strawberry cake similar to what they would get at Libeccio. Once the cake was finished, he let it cool before adding the strawberries and cream and as they had their dessert, they continued to talk and laugh and later that night, they settled into bed and relaxed, happy that they had survived another April fourth together.
End.
