Work Text:
Giorno was sleeping in his bedroom at the hotel. It was approximately 5 in the morning. Suddenly, he woke up feeling stunned because it was the wrong time: too early. Giorno remembered in that precise instant that he was sharing the bedroom with Mista. He was sleeping deeply and was about to snore, but fortunately he didn’t.
Giorno got up and went into the bathroom and studied himself in the mirror with curiosity: he looked flushed, feeling hot and sweating, maybe due to the blankets.
“ Something’s off..” he thought. “ Why don’t I feel calm?” he continued “ Ahh.. Just think to rest! I need a fresh shower… that room is extremely hot”
Despite Giorno being just 15, his way of thinking was very similar to adults and his rationality tried to set aside wacky or unuseful thoughts, but in that moment he just couldn’t. As Giorno came back to the bedroom, he flashed a look at Mista and felt something singular about the roommate. “What’s this, again??” he whispered. That feeling has touched him even before and it kept coming back every time Mista was around, particularly when Giorno could see him up close.
Until that moment, his only purpose and exclusive goal was to figure out who Passione's boss is and defeat him. That’s his dream. He cannot be distracted or put off this just because of a crush. “..Also, Mista would never get committed in a relationship with a 15-years-old boy and I don’t even know his sexual orientation.. These are my premises and do not watch me with that face, Golden Experience. It’s useless.” he claimed, looking nervously towards his Stand, who was simply listening.
This feeling was pervading him to the point that Giorno covered his face with his hands in shame: “What should I do??”
As he lay down the bed, Mista started to move abruptly. Giorno, worried, thanked God that his friend didn’t snap awake and turned over.
“Is everything ok..?”. Mista’s voice.
Giorno flinched, turned over again and their gazes met and they were locked in a stare. The blonde blushed.
“Giorno..? What time is it?” he asked “ It’s about half past 5! Gosh.. you scare me with that glare. Are you ok? Is there anything you need..?
“I wish I could say I like you. Too bad YOU CAN’T HEAR WHAT I’M SAYING IN MY MIND. LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS FUTILE!” Giorno thought, then he rolled his eyes inwardly, half in frustration, half in despair.
Yet, he eloquently improvised: “I’m fine, thanks. I was just checking to see if you were okay. I mean, you were snoring, and I was a bit concerned you might have a stuffy nose. Honestly, I even wondered if I should’ve given you a tissue. Sorry for the disturbance. Good night."
Mista felt dizzy hearing all that long explanation.
“Ok whatever.. Given the time, Mr. Giovanna I would have preferred to say Buon Giorno (;) but I appreciate a good night as well” Mista was intentionally imitating Giorno’s overly polite demeanor.
The blonde smiled.
“ Well.. before going to bed, let me recommend you to stop being so formal, please! I mean we know each other for a while, don’t be too courteous.. also ..” Mista, Mista, Mista say it! No one can interrupt you!
Oh sorry guys. Lemme explain.
It’s truthful saying that Giorno started having a little ( big) crush on Guido Mista, but it’ll be more correct to add a quick detail: Mista would share the same feelings for him. More importantly, it wasn’t a fleeting crush, but a passionate one. He had genuinely liked Giorno since the very start. His attitude, his confidence, his way of never getting pissed or overwhelmed by anyone or anything. He forged another way of living for Mista. That’s why his presence is delightful for him, in fact the idea of sharing the hotel room with the newcomer was his.
“...also..rest well” he concluded, disappointed.
“ Thanks.. you too..”
Giorno lay down to meditate:“ Was he trying to flirt..? I thought he was up to say something important..no…no it’s just Mista. He can always be unpredictable.. somehow..”
Guido Mista is truly a bizarre and frank person. He would really like to say that despite a three-year age gap between them, a relationship is still possible. “I won’t spoil my youth with the fear or regret of never saying to someone “I like you!” No! I love you! I love you more than a friend does!” the brunet said to himself.
About two hours later Giorno felt sleepy and at the same time with lots of motivation, he felt supported by Mista. “Guido was overly caring... I mean I've never seen him behaving in that way.. There was an embarrassing hesitation in that “also”..” He was very perplexed but deep down his heart was filled with hope.
During the mission in Venice, GioGio was really focused, while Mista decided to pay court to Giorno. When Bucciarati split up the group and put these two together, it was the beginning of the next super-duper phase.
“You two will retrieve the boss’s message near the stone statue. Be careful” Bruno ordered.
Mista and Giorno nodded.
“ Alright Giorno, get in the car..” Mista said, cheerfully.
“ Ok, I’ll drive” Giorno said coldly, trying to act normally.
Guido didn't like the idea because he would have preferred to drive to take his mind off his crush. However instead of conplaining he stammered in a chuckle: "So..guidi tu?”
“ What?”
“ Uh? Nothing.. nothing.." But GioGio heard everything and it left him confused.
While Giorno was driving and Mista was studying the area, n.5 shouted: “ MistaAa! Say it to him or do you want us to tell him?”
“SHut up!" the other bullets shouted in unison.
“ Tell me what..?” Giorno was filled with curiosity.
“uH.. nOTHING.. just that.. that.. you’re looking stunning today!” Mista didn’t know what he just said. Everyone was open-mouthed and shocked by that flirting-phrase. Giorno felt teased but before replying n.2 shouted: “Mistaaa! There’s an ice-man that is coming in our direction!! He’s really fast!”
We all know that these two had to face Ghiaccio, but that was the first time they were completely alone.
After the clash Giorno and Mista were really tired, they returned with the disc but after all the events and Bucciarati’s decision to betray Passione, Mista was doubtful which path to take.
“There’s always one resolution made for you!!” the blonde shouted during the battle with Ghiaccio.
“You said there’s always one… but where?” Mista asked himself.
“ Nowhere. You build it yourself” Giorno's voice was ringing in his head.
“My road huh? I think my path is intertwined with yours. So I’ll follow you! You got me Giorno Giovanna!” Mista thought, his heart pounding with a mix of hope and determination.
And two days later, as soon as Giorno woke up, he thought: “These past few days I’ve been really happy.. It’s because of Mista’s presence.. I must tell him.. He must know. Maybe I’m wasting my time on something very unlikely.. but I must try! Try!! We live once and it’s okay if there’s a rejection.. I just hope he won’t blow me off. Before something bad happens to us Mista must be aware of my feelings… at least someone.. I’m going to talk to him tonight” Giorno was so excited and scared that his curls got messy.
Mista thought the same:” Tonight I’m going to talk to him privately.. Wait, have I prepared a speech?!”
“Don’t worry Mista, make it up as you go, he’ll understand!” Sex Pistols recommended.
“No, I can’t because I’ll end up looking dumb… no wait, I’m pretty skilled at improvising so I don't need a proper speech”
“MistaAaAaA.. but what if you get rejected?!” n.5 said, panicked.
“ He won’t fail, you asshole! “n.3 said angrily.
“Guys.. please calm down.. I really want it to go well. I don’t even know if he likes men or women or if he’s romantically available..I mean look at him! He’s like a closed book!”
“Mista stop thinking and have breakfast with the others!”
“ Yeah, we’re hungry!”
“Alright alright..” he huffed.
When evening came, Mista and Giorno started sweating and thousands of doubts surfaced.
When at the door of their room they crossed their gazes and they entered, Mista was the bravest:” Emh.. Giorno sorry… I have something I have to tell ya-you”
Giorno simply thought that Mista was joking. “What a coincidence.. I also would like to tell you something, but maybe before going to bed so.. see you in ten minutes”
Mista thought worried:“ Noo please let me say it now! DO NOT POSTPONE ITTT!”
“Dammit, what have I just said! I was too blunt..” Giorno sobbed in his mind. In reality, he tried to buy some time thinking about what he’s going to say. Meanwhile he brushed his teeth, took a quick shower and sprayed on a bit of perfume because he figured he should look stylish but still approachable. “Oh c’mon it’ll be a quick chat, nothing more, I just have to clarify.. stop overthinking .. it’s going to be pleasurable and chill..” Giorno had his heart in his throat.
In the meantime, Mista decided to wear his favourite pyjamas and put on some deodorant, the one sitting on his nightstand.
When these two came into the bedroom, they blushed and turned around. Giorno thought:”I don’t know if it’s the right moment to start a conversation.. he seems distant. Am I too intimidating..?"
But in any case, the blonde took the first step:” So.. what was the thing you wanted to say.. ?”
Mista was anything but calm ”Woah.. he’s opening up to me! And he didn’t seem to be bothered..” he thought.
“Well.. all I have to say was just.. that.. I found out something.. I-” Sex Pistols surrounded him and held his hands.
“..Giorno..I like you! But before saying anything let me clear that I like you as a crush. I really like the way you’re a moderate and sensitive person..”
“WHATTHEHELL this final comment was misplaced!” Mista nervously thought.
Giorno let his inner shock show and replied: “Mista…I’d like to say this is really a coincidence , or even destiny but I really like you too. I’m glad you confessed first and.. we have known each other for a while and I’d also like to be engaged to you even if I seemed to be too young…”
“Oh?! I didn’t expect you to want to be my boyfriend right away…and..” he stopped and thought for a moment “I also want to stand by you, I mean you saved me.. how can I not trust a person like you?”
They both blushed and their hearts were revolutionized.
“I suppose that’s a yes.. but let’s just keep it our little secret or it’s going to be dangerous” Giorno solemnly concluded.
“ I agree with you and.. soooo would you like to give me a little kiss?” Mista asked timidly.
“Just a kiss? I honestly want to give it a go.. we can sleep in the same bed and cuddle each other.. What do you think?”
Mista smirked.
“Why did you smile in that way?” the blonde asked curiously
“Because couples never just cuddle when they sleep together. That was so cute of you thinking that.. so innocent!” Mista chuckled.
“Well.. let’s try”
After they lay on the bed, Mista calmly started touching Giorno, his face, his torso, his legs but he hesitated touching his nether regions.
“It’s okay.. touch it”
“Are you sure??”
Giorno nodded.
He let out a moan and Mista felt a rush of pleasure just hearing it.
“Hell I’m burning inside.. I mean It’s like a burning sunrise.. I should undress.. Giorno, if that’s fine with you, I want our naked body to feel each other”
“I’m coming..” the blonde accepted.
They were both naked on the rumped bed.
Mista started chuckling:“ You don’t know how good it feels..”
“I bet it’s pleasurable.. Maybe I really needed something that could pull me up..” It was the first time Giorno said out loud one of his intimate thoughts.
“Well.. I got a proposition..” Mista said, glancing at his lover.
“Say it”
“I know it could sound strange or perverted to say but what if we make out ‘till we fall asleep?”
The blonde wasn’t that surprised and meanwhile he slyly thought: “I need certainty.. He seemed to act smoothly but I want to know if he’s capable of taking advantage of me..”
So Giorno decided to completely strip down and tempt him with his nude body, either muscular and youthful. Mista was both shocked and turned on at the sight of the scene.
“Okay, I’m in but I’ll warn you, I’ve never made out before”
“ No problem..I don’t think you’ll need to learn” Mista suggested.
So they started making out and Mista got a bit carried away and his tongue started entering wildly into Giorno’s mouth. GioGio couldn’t do anything but touch his waist.
Mista moved ‘till he was on top of him, then their genitals clashed and Giorno flinched.
“Why are you trying to seduce me?” Mista asked, frowning. Giorno refused to answer. However, Mista kept getting closer and closer. He started licking his toned abdomen and his neck and then started touching Giorno’s pecs and pressing them harder and harder. A sudden shiver passed over the blonde. The temptation to fuck him was really high. However, Mista resisted. He let out a long breath and stared at Giorno, calmly.
“I. have. to. control. myself. I’m older than Giorno and if I love him, I must respect and protect him.. “
While Giorno thought:” One more minute and I’ll say something.. He’s hesitating.."
And then a really long minute at the glowing moonlight.
Giorno finally decided to speak: “You know.. when you’re small, puny, or silent.. people beat you up. Have you ever experienced someone who abused power against you? It’s really easy to pick on the weak. But growing up, you recognize that in this world, there's a place for everyone. Butterflies, lions, zebras, spiders, ladybugs.. and then you understand that even your presence is essential and counts. Those who acknowledge this brightful concept obtained the ability to accept themselves and the will to improve. What do you think about this..Mista?” His emerald green eyes sparkled. Those words came out of him naturally, he had been dreaming to share that thought with someone for a long time.
Mista lay down, clinging to him: “I think that your words are truthful and.. These must be really terrible experiences. You’re wrong on one point: there’s no weakness in you. I mean you're fighting for a new life, for hope, for dreams. You're unstoppable and I’ve been admiring you from the beginning and I must confess that you have awakened us and I’m not saying this because I’m a flatterer but because you deserved these compliments”
Giorno's lips began to tremble, and he suddenly stood up. Silent tears started to fall down his cheeks..
“Giorno..? Hey.. calm down.. I’m here..” Giorno turned to face him, his gaze shattered.
“Hey hey hey! I’ll support you in every fucking moment of your life...I won’t let you suffer in this way.. Think about forgetting the past and continue to live in the present..” They embraced gently.
Mista continued:“It’s okay to cry, you can vent.. I’m here for you..”
“Sorry Mista for worrying you but… my tears were a blend of joy and such painful memories. Tell me honestly.. Do you truly love me?”
“Listen Giorno.. I say it first but I’ll repeat myself. I love you Giorno Giovanna and if you don’t trust me then I’ll prove it to you”
“You’ve already done it." Meanwhile Giorno thought "Now it’s left to fate to choose if you’ll become my faithful partner”. Then Giorno approached his boyfriend and whispered:
” Forgive me, but sleep has just left me.. where were you up a moment ago?”
“Welp.. that was quick” Mista chuckled.
They slowly ended up in their initial positions and started to kindly kiss each other. Good Night ;)
