Work Text:
At the young age of 15, Giorno has decided to start a new life as a gangster and leave his old life, they won’t miss him. That much he’s sure of. Despite his young age he is rather intelligent and quite the pickpocket, he couldn’t rely on his parents to give him money, working and school would be quite difficult so he opt towards stealing cash and is quite good at it. It’s rare if he’s caught at all.
Giorno has heard of the great achievements that the new Don of Passione has succeeded. Something he would have long sought for, however even if that is the case now, there are still many cartels and drug lords that oppose the new Don. He wished to stop them so he wouldn’t see young kids resort to drugs and suffer. His heart was pure as gold, he was more than happy to work under the new Don and even more hopeful to be granted an audience with him.
The young teen has passed the test quite easily due to his intelligence. Today is the day he will move in and start his life as a gangster. He had his pink signature outfit that exposed a lot of his chest and had the lady bug embroidered into his outfit, he had a small bag pack with only the essentials, he looked back for only a few seconds as he heard the train coming. He’ll be leaving his old life and start a new one.
What was he suppose to feel right now?
Sadness? Relief?
He didn’t know, he couldn’t shed tears anymore. His face remained the same, the same old poker face it always has been. The trained roared another sound signaling that it was time to go. He turned his head away and threw the bag over his shoulder while he kept a tight grip on the strap. He steps inside the train and sits at a empty feet with the bag on his lap. The train didn’t have many passengers. The ride was long but it was comfortable.
It took a couple of hours for the train to reach the destination, Giorno had a small map in his hand and as soon as the train had stopped he got up from his seat and picked up his bag. He walks out of the train and steps onto the platform, This train station had a different style than the previous one, it was quite beautiful though Italy has always been known for their beauty on that.
Giorno looked at his map, the place wasn’t very far, he has estimated that it will take him at least 10 minutes to get there by foot. No need to take a car, not that it bothered him , it wouldn’t be the first time he drove without a license, he’s too young to even own one after all.
The destination was a rather big building, Whoever owned this was rather wealthy , there was a lot of detail. The windows were very clean, you couldn’t see much of a smudge, the building itself was a maroon color, the entrance had a little walkway with a rather large driveway as well. It even had a garden, someone nurtured it quite well despite being a gangster.
Giorno walked on the sidewalk and notice two teens that appear to be around his age arguing and an adult with headphones that was tuning them out. The two teens one of them was really short and had a bandana around his messy black hair, he has purple eyes and long bangs. He was wearing a vest and had wrist bands and looks to be have a skirt around his waist and dark pants as well, the other teen was a little taller than him , he had white hair and brown eyes, his bangs were quite long as well but had a rather bizarre attire, he was wearing a suit however it had holes all over, his stomach and a bit of his chest were exposed but they were both squabbling.
The tall one that was ignoring the two loud teens had lavender hair , his hair was just as long as Giorno’s, his lips were black and had long eyes lashes, he had yellow eyes with a hint of purple in them. He was wearing a lapel less overcoat with laces overlapping his chest and a large belt that had an A . Definitely someone who looked intimidating.
Giorno looks at them for a little while before he decides to approach them while holding his bag. Before he could open his mouth the smaller teen pulled out his knife and pointed at him.
”Hey! Who the hell are you?” He threatens , The tall goth merely glances but does nothing and the older teen furrowed his brow.
This did not phase him. Giorno had kept his composure, he looks at the small pocket knife and then back at the angry teen.
“I apologize for startling you, it was not my intention. My name is Giorno Giovanna.” He speaks in a soft tone as he introduces himself.
Before any more could be said the taller teen cuts in. “Narancia, this is the new guy. Remember? “
Narancia squints his eyes a little before his eyes widened and nodded and pulled his knife away and puts it back in his pocket. “Oh right! I forgot.” He grins.
”Typical..” Fugo lightly sighs and looks over at Giorno. “I’m Fugo, this is Narancia .” He gestures towards Narancia.
Giorno hums in response and looks over at the tall man. “Is he our capo?”
Narancia laughs in response. “Him? Our Capo? Oh gods no!” He laughed even louder till he got smacked by Fugo and received quite the glare from him.
Abbachio lowers his headphones and it was hugging his neck, he placed his hands in his pocket and walks in a few short strides, he easily towers over Giorno.
“They let a brat like you in?” He mocks, Giorno could feel his breath on him , he didn’t say anything in response. Before anymore could be said a woman’s voice.
”Abbachio. Stop, it’s his first day.” An older woman steps from out of the doors and Fugo’s and Narancia whole demeanor changed as she walked towards the group.
She appeared to be in her late twenties at least, she was wearing a black vest with her shoulders and arms exposed, She was also wearing white shorts and high knee combat boots. She had a jacket wrapped her her waist. She had some jewelry on, a necklace and earrings , they both matched.
”Are you insane? You’re gonna let some weird kid in?” Abbachio questions, looking quite pissed off. The older woman seemed quite unfazed as if she has gone through this before.
”He was the most qualified, there’s no age limit last time I checked. “ She stated.
”Oh give me a break! “ He rolled his eyes. “I’m sure as hell not going to be working with some kid that probably cheated his way in.”
She merely raises an eyebrow. “ That’s fine, if that’s how you truly feel. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind I reported you to the Don for this type of behavior.”
”You wouldn’t..” Abbachio growled.
A tug could be felt on Abbachio’s shirt , he looked over to see Fugo, they locked eyes for a moment and Fugo tugged a little harder on his sleeve to relax the stiffness, Fugo merely shook his head, telling him this wasn’t worth it. Quit while you’re ahead , you know she’s serious .
”Tch! “ Abbachio gritted his teeth and put his headphones back in and walked past not only Giorno without looking at him but he passed by her as well without sparing as so much as a glance and headed inside the building.
The older woman nodded and Fugo and Narancia quickly went inside as well , leaving Giorno and her alone. “I do apologize for the rude welcoming, I certainly hope they weren’t too harsh with you.” She lightly smiled. “That one in particular is a little rough, please don’t mind him as much.”
”Ma’am, It’s quite alright. “ Giorno looks at her, “Are you the Capo?” Giorno questions.
”Hah! So Polite, I rarely see that in young teens.”She chuckles lightly. “Well you’re half right. I am a temporary Capo you could say. But ah..I should introduce myself. I’m Y/N, welcome to my team.”
”Temporary?” He slowly blinks.
”Mm..well I can’t tell you the details. But we do have one more member in the team, he should be back soon. He’s on a mission at the moment.” Y/N explained.
Giorno slowly nodded his head.
Y/N glances at the bag in his hand and walks towards him. “I’ll take that bag for you, you must be exhausted from that long trip, aren’t you?” She holds her hand out , gesturing that he hands her the bag.
“Signornia Y/N. I’m sure, I can assure you.” He quickly protests, he see no need to hand her his bag.
”Signornia? Oh, Giorno you flatter me, You can call me Signora.” She lightly laughs. “Now, now you are my guest so please I’ll carry your bag.” She makes a beckoning gesture to hand his bag.
”I..” Giorno pauses but then finally surrenders his bag, he has nothing to hide. She must want to inspect his belongings, surely that is the reason. “If you’re sure.” He holds out his bag and she takes it in her hand.
”Good, now then. Let’s go inside shall we?” She turns around and carries the bag around the shoulder and starts walking back towards the front door and slowly but surely Giorno follows her inside.
As soon as she lets him in the house, she stops and turns around. “Giorno please be a dear and remove your shoes.” Y/N had already taken off her shoes and had slippers. “Here, I prepared a pair for you.” She holds one pair of light blue slippers.
Giorno sees the cute slippers that he’s offered and takes his shoes off and places it right at the entrance. He could see the other pairs of shoes at the entrance , he easily recognizes the three pairs of shoes from the other three he met. He takes the slippers and puts them on without protesting.
Y/N does the same as well. She put her slender fingers around the zipper and pulled them down, she was wearing black socks and places both of her boots at the entrance and puts on some slippers that were a pastel pink with bunny ears. Despite her clothing aesthetic, she has animal type slippers.
Giorno’s slippers were bear shaped while Y/N has bunny shaped ones. Y/N turned around and closed the door that was behind Giorno and locks it. “ I know you must be tired, but would you like to have a brief tour of the house?” Y/N asks.
“I’m fine, thank you.” Giorno replies.
“Alright, but don’t hesitate to let me know, okay?” Y/N reassures him.
”I do not wish to trouble you Signora Y/N.” Giorno quickly replies.
”Oh! It’s no trouble at all! You don’t need to worry about troubling me at all. Please I rather you trouble me if something is bothering you.” Y/N speaks in a soft yet cheerful tone.
Giorno pauses, as he contemplates. “..If you’re sure.”
” I am.”
”…If It’s okay, may I have some water, please.” Giorno finally relents and finally asks after the constant reassurance, though asking even for something as small as this has always made him uncomfortable. He doesn’t like to trouble people.
”Oh! Of course! Wait right there, Ill be gone for just a moment.” Y/N quickly rushes down the long corridor and disappears from his sight. Giorno exhales, letting out a small breath, licked his lips nervously.
As soon as he noticed her come back, he quickly stiffens and kept the same old poker face. “Thank you.” He gently taken the glass of water from her small hands and she just nodded.
”Of course.” Y/N watches him drink the glass of water till he finished. “You must have been really thirsty. You hand it back.”
”Oh. I can wash it, its fine. I already asked enough.” He glances at the hallway to figure out where the kitchen would be.
”Nonsense. I’ll take care of that.” She walks towards him, Giorno grips the glass and at first she did wait for him to give her the glass but when he doesn’t she gently pulls the glass from his hand as he slowly loses his grip around it and finally lets her take it. “There we go.”
“…” Giorno slowly nodded, he was half expecting her to hit him for not obeying her, he looked down waiting for it to happen but it never did. He lightly raised his head and stared at her for a brief moment.
Y/N smile disappears and Is now replaced with a concerned look on her face. “Giorno, are you alright?” She places her hand against his forehead and felt him flinch. “Hm..you don’t have a fever.”
Giorno lets out a shaky breath, he didn’t say anything, he merely nodded his head in response.
” That trip must have made you more tired than I thought. Come now, I think you should rest. We can hold off on the tour for now.” Y/N states.
”I’m fine, really.” Giorno quickly replies. He already knows he messed up. She must be disappointed, surely she was. “ I do not wish to hold you up on my account.”
”Goodness.” She lightly sigh. “ Now you’re just being silly. It is no trouble at all. “ Y/N places the glass on a table that was against the wall. “Come now, I think you need to rest for a little while.”
”I’m fi-
“You are not.” Y/N takes his hand which causes him to hitch a breath and inhaled taking a small breath but she started walking and opens a room and turns on a light.
He was still waiting for that punch.
However, it never happened. He quickly scans the room, it was a room, it was a light blue, there was a bookshelf and a desk right next to it as well as a nice comfy bed. Y/N puts his bag on the study desk, but hasn’t let go of his hand yet, she walks him over to the bed.
”This is where you’ll be staying. I hope you like the room that I have prepared for you, Giorno. Now then, I want you to take a small nap and we’ll have some dinner later, alright?”
Giorno slowly blinks in response. Dinner? He hasn’t had meal with others in a very long time. He doesn’t even remember a time sitting down with his own parents, but that was besides the point.
Giorno slowly blinks and thought how to change her mind. He felt like he really disappointed her enough as it is. “What about the tour?”
“We can do that once you are well rested, alright? You need some rest first, before anything. Okay?” Y/N had a priority in mind and it was to see that this young adolescent was to be well rested before moving on to anything.
Giorno looks down for a moment. “Yes, Ma’am.”
Y/N smiles. “Good! I’ll be back to check on you later.” She finally lets go of his hand and was about to leave but stops. “Oh, that reminds me, do you have any clothes to sleep in.”
Giorno eyes widened slightly and slowly nodded. “Oh good, I’ll be back in a few hours to come and check on you, Giorno. Rest well.” Y/N saw him nod his head once more before she leaves the young teen to rest.
