Italian Affairs

Summary:

Three months have gone by since Harry O’Connel’s troublesome mission in Palermo, now he is heading north to central Italy!

His business partner and boyfriend Michele Vento has a score to settle with the Vargas Clan, taking the Irish with him to help and deepen their bonds – in more than one way.
But while Harry and Michele want to enjoy a romantic weekend in Rome, their bodyguards' hearts are turned upside down on an emotional rollercoaster:
Charlie despairs due to his unrequited crush on Marco – who is starting to wonder if he is really not requiting the other’s feelings.
And as everyone is caught up in their own little love affairs, something else starts stirring up in the eternal city which has more than one ace up its sleeve for the Mafiosi …

Notes:

DISCLAIMER: While I do research for my stories, I want to explicitly state that this story does not represent the actual mafia. Organized crime is an issue that still affects and kills people and I am trying to not romanticise organized crime.
I trust you, my reader, to keep fiction and reality apart.

 

This is the sequel to my Story "Irish Problems"! Have fun reading!

Chapter Text


Arm on the windowsill and head out of the window, his look fell onto the church right to him.

Not that praying would save them now.

“Dio mio, dio mio, dio mio” Michele tried to invoke a higher deity nonetheless while hurrying up and down behind Harry.

“Should I close the window before you jump out of it?” The Irishman joked half-heartedly, the Sicilian now hurrying over to him and for a second, Harry was really afraid he’d just let himself fall over the windowsill.

“Well, if I am honest … The ornament does look pretty stable actually …” he said with a cocked eyebrow, the look of panic in his eyes gone.

Harry couldn’t believe it.

“Yeah, what a great idea!” the Irish said. “We are just gonna climb out of the window of this hotel placed at one of Rome’s main tourist attractions – ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS MICHELE?! WE’D FALL AND BREAK OUR GODDAMN BONES!”

“Oh god Frecky, not so loud” a moan came from the couch. “You’re breaking my head!”

When Michele’s eyes shifted to the couch with the second Irishman, he looked just as desperate as before while Harry gestured towards his friend:

“Yes, great idea! I vote Charlie goes first because that alcohol corpse will just ace that little parkour!”
