☆ Alessio's House ☆
Nico's breath trembled softly against Alessio's lips as they kissed on. Alessio's hands instinctively found his waist, thumbs brushing delicate circles on his soft, white skin.
" Sei Bellissimo (You're Beautiful )" Alessio whispered, voice rougher than he intended.
Nico blinked shyly, fingers curling on Alessio's shoulders.
" Don't..say that. It makes me shy" Nico whispered.
Alessio smirked and leaned forward to press another slow kiss to his mouth. Nico inhaled sharply,his chest rising and falling as the kiss deepened.
The storm outside rumbled thunder but inside, the room felt warm, warmer than expected. It was the heaters.
Nico pulled back slightly, lips pink as swollen.
" A..lan"
Alessio exhaled with restraint, pressing their foreheads together.
" You're driving me crazy Bello" Alessio breathed.
Nico's cheeks flushed again, and he shifted innocently on Alessio's laps making Alessio exhale sharply.
" Amore, non provocarmi ( Love, don't tease me)
" H..ow are my teasing you?" He muttered.
Alessio chuckled softly. Why does he have to be so innocent on this?
He slid a hand up, gently brushing Nico's hair behind his ear.
" You're making me h0rny" He whispered against Nico's ear.
Nico's eyes widened.
" Hope you know what that means?" He added in a whisper and when he stared at Nico, he was red all over.
Nico gasped as Alessio kissed him again, slow , deep, calming and careful.
Nico's arms tightened around his neck, pulling more closer as their breaths tangled.
Outside, the rain poured harder.
Inside, the heat between them rose, soft and unhurried.
Nico whimpered quietly against Alessio's lips when the kiss deepened further, Alessio held him tighter, protective even in desire.
" Dimmi se devo fermarmi ( Tell me if I should stop)" He whispered and Nico shook his head, whispering against Alessio's mouth.
" Don't stop ... please"
Alessio's heart dropped and soared at the same moment.
He kissed Nico again, this time slower, gentler, almost reverent.
The kiss broke when Alessio felt his £rection building.
Nico noticed and didn't take his hands off Alessio's neck.
He has watched P**n only once when it appeared on his chrome feed and he actually saw how everything unfolded although he didn't watch to the end.
Alessio released his waist.
" Amore.., I'll go take my bath now" He said. If he stays here any longer, with Nico sitting on his growing er****on and being bare underneath, he might control it anymore.
Nico's hands only tightened.
" D.. don't go Alan" Nico whispered.
Alessio did blinked for the first time.
Did he hear wrong?
" Amore...
" I..can feel it... your..." He shyly slammed his face against Alessio's shoulder. " I can feel it and I want it!" He said out immediately.
Alessio froze for a sec.
Does he know what he's asking?
" Amore, don't say that" He said touching Nico's cheek.
" But...I know.. what I want. I want to..try it" Nico mumbled shyly.
Alessio cupped his cheeks.
" I know. But not now, I want to give you time to think about it and get prepared, okay"
Nico nodded.
" Va bene ( Alright)" Nico muttered and Alessio smiled kissing his cheek.
Nico gently lifted his butt before getting off Alessio's laps.
Alessio got up leisurely, stretching a little before pointing towards the large walk in closet.
" Get a pair of underwear from there"
" Over there?
Alessio confirmed with a smile.
Nico peeked a little with a blushy smile.
" You need it or else I wouldn't be able to control myself anymore" Alessio added and Nico reddened up.
He hid his face into his palms.
Alessio chuckled and walked closer, brushing a gentle kiss on Nico's forehead before stepping back.
" Choose whatever underwear that fits you" Alessio teased and Nico turned around, almost passing out from reddening.
His hands moved to the hem of the black shirt drawing it down and that only made Alessio gulped.
How would it feel to suck and kiss those white thighs.
He quickly looked away with a gulp and left to the bathroom.
The bathroom door closed afterward and Nico finally heaved a breath, burning red from head to toe.
He whispered to himself.
" Why am I so embarrassed"
He walked towards the walk in closet, opening the door slowly.
Inside were neatly arranged drawers, shirts, and a full section packed with different kinds of underwear ~ luxury fabrics, silk, cotton, black, white, grey brands.
Nico's eyes widened.
" Mio dio (My God)"
He reached for for the drawer written * Intimo (Underwear * and pulled it open.
He picked a simple black boxer , soft and stretchy.
But he paused holding it up with a blush.
His face heating up.
He faced the large mirror putting it on. It fits perfectly, and that made him blush redder.
~
Nico slipped under the warm blanket first, small and careful, while Alessio turned off the last lamp and joined him.
The bed dipped under Alessio's weight, and Nico automatically shifted closer like his body trusted Alessio more than his mind could admit.
Alessio turned on his side to face him.
" Are you comfortable?" He asked.
Nico nodded, fingers playing with the corner of the blanket.
" Yes, it's just...your bed is so big. I feel like I'll drown"
Alessio chuckled softly and pulled him closer, placing Nico's head on his chest.
" You won't drown. I won't let you."
Nico melted, breathing in Alessio's soft cologne.
There was silence for a moment before Nico spoke up.
" Alan"
" Hmm?"
" Can I ask something?"
" Anything" Alessio answered immediately, brushing Nico's hair from his forehead.
" Why were you scared? Earlier, when you told me about being mafia?"
Alessio exhaled slowly, his fingers pausing.
" Because you matter to me" He said. " And when something matters, you fear losing it. I didn't want you to look at me like I was a monster"
Nico raised his head slightly just to look at him.
" I didn't see you as one" He whispered. " I was surprised..but you protected me. That's not a Monster"
Alessio's lips widened.
Nico continued softly.
" Do you always fight like that?"He asked
" Only when I have to. And today, he touched you instead of coming to me. I don't tolerate that. Ever"
Nico's cheeks warmed.
" You're...very scary when you're angry"
" I know"
" But you're also..." Nico hesitated, curling more closer." Warm. And gentle. And I like that more"
Alessio smiled.
" And you" Alessio whispered." Adorable but Trouble"
Huh! Trouble? Nico blinked.
" Tr..ouble? But I've never troubled you" He mumbled Innocently and Alessio chuckled.
" You're trouble because you sit on my laps wearing only a shirt. Because you smile And I forget the world. Because talking to you makes me want to talk without stopping"
Nico hid his face against Alessio's chest.
" You're saying too many things.."
" I'm saying the truth"
The rain outside got heavier, tapping against the windows.
Nico's voice came softly again.
" Alan...are you happy?"
Alessio smiled and pressed a kiss to Nico's hair.
" I'm happier with you here with me"
Nico's fingers curled into his shirt.
" I'm happy too"
Alessio shifted the blanket higher over him, protective.
" Sleep, amore" He muttered. " I'm right here. All night."
Nico closed his eyes with a small smile.
" Goodnight Alan"
" Sweet dreams Baby"
A forehead kiss pressed.
Alessio didn't sleep immediately. He stayed awake a little longer, listening to Nico's soft breaths.
~
Next Morning :
The rain had stopped at 3 AM in the morning and now, it was almost 8.
Nico woke first, blinking slowly, realizing he was still wrapped in Alessio's arms.
Alessio was asleep, peacefully breathing against Nico's hair.
Nico smiled shyly, carefully slipping out of bed.
Alessio seemed so relaxed that he didn't bother to open his eyes when Nico left his side.
Nico slipped into the bathroom and minutes later, he was out and searching for clothes at the wardrobe.
He finally picked a plain white T-shirt and black pants that obviously wasn't his size.
The shirt hung loosely on his small frame, falling just above his thighs, while the black pants bunched adorably at his ankles
Alessio finally opened his eyes, and he smiled. He have been secretly peeking all this while while smiling at how Nico did everything quietly as not to wake him up.
" That looks cute on you" He said sitting up.
Nico blushed and turned.
" Good morning Alan. They look big on me, couldn't find my size. I'm pretty small I understand"
Alessio did laughed. He normally wakes up with a mean and blank expression but today he was smiley and surprisingly laughing too.
Alessio walked over to him and pulled him closer by the waist.
" It looks cute. I love it this way. Everyone should know you're Mine." He said and Nico flushed more.
He gently slipped off Alessio soft hold.
" I'll go make a quick breakfast. Tea and Omelette, take your bath"
" Sure, My Wife"
" Alan!!" Nico whispered in shyness and Alessio laughed again.
" That's what a wife does. Fine, I'll stop teasing you" He said and headed to the bathroom.
~
After breakfast and outside, Alessio opened the car door for Nico.
" Gracie" He appreciated and climbed in.
Alessio went around to the driver's seat, entered and helped Nico with his seatbelt, adding a lip kiss.
" Ready to go" He asked , brushing Nico's hair once more.
" Si (Yes)" Nico replied cutely and Alessio smiled as he started the car.

☆ Dante & Carlos Apartment ☆
Carlos happily checked his outfit out on the mirror before grabbing his side bag.
He stepped out of his room and staggered a bit, surprised to see Dante standing there like a ghost.
" Oh, you scared me"
" I'm sorry" Dante replied.
" I must have wasted your time, let's go, I'm done" Carlos said.
"I need to tell you something Carl" Dante muttered.
" Sure"
There was silence.
Carlos waited.
Dante swallowed.
" I can't hide it anymore"
Carlos brows furrowed in confusion.
" What are you hiding from me?"
" That I've been in love with you"
Carlos looked like he was paused with a remote control.
Dante continued before he lost his courage.
" I like you more than a friend, I've always loved you more than a friend. I tried to hint you everyday" He paused. " I really tried to stop it. I tried so hard. You're straight, I know that and I respect that. But the feeling never went away"
Carlos opened his mouth, stunned.
" ... Dante... I..."
" I don't expect anything" Dante uttered, knowing that there's no way Carlos will feel same way, he has always been straight. " I'm telling you because it's been eating me up and I don't want to pretend anymore. I don't want to hide it anymore or ruin our friendship by acting strange"
He then swallowed.
" If you want some space, distance. I won't fight it. I just needed to be honest"
He then took a step back with a smile.
" You can take the car, I will take a taxi, see you in school" Dante added and turned around leaving.
Carlos breathed out the moment the door shut.
He slumped against the wall.
So.
He wasn't just overthinking things!
He wasn't imagining!
It's real.
Dante isn't straight.
He's g@y and worse more,
In love with him.

☆ Ryan's Apartment ☆
Ryan stood in front of his mirror, adjusting his pink singlet crop top and slipping into his blue jeans. His lips glossed with lip gloss, his curls bounced, his painted nails caught the morning sun that slipped in. He smiled at his reflection.
A car horned outside.
He smiled.
It must be that crazy boy. Adriano.
He was here to pick him up again.
He grabbed his bag and rushed off but paused at the door, getting rid of the smile before he opened the door.
He stepped out and locked the door before turning.
He froze.
There were six men standing right in front of him.
He looked up at the cat to see the window rolling down.
A man smiled at him.
He's the boss who owns the bar where Ryan works as a waiter.
Ryan quitted last night by sending a message and they were here.
" What.. are you doing here? Didn't you received my message?" He asked.
The man smirked.
" Quitting through a message? Are you crazy kid!? You can't quit. Our customers likes me and we make great sales thanks to us. If you quit, I'll f**king loss customers"
" Well, I'm not interested anymore. The demand of them having sxx with me is getting too much, they might force themselves on me if I don't quit. I already got a new job so please and don't bother to pay me the salary" Ryan replied.
" Get in the car" The man said coldly.
" I'm going nowhere. Leave before I draw attention!" Ryan uttered, bracing himself to run.
" Get him!!" The man ordered.
The moment two men stepped forward trying to grab Ryan's arms.
A black sports car came speeding into the compound, tires screeching, almost knocking the two men off their feet.
They quickly stepped back.
" Hey!!" They had screamed at him.
The door slammed open.
Adriano stepped out.
" Adrian " Ryan called, happiness surging through him.
Adriano smiled and faced him.
" Did you just call me sweetly? Awwn! I'm flushed" He said and Ryan did smiled.
Can't he see they're in trouble?
" Hey! Who the hell are you!!" The Boss screamed.
Adriano turned to him with a smile, bowing to him.
" La tua morte ( Your Death )" He replied.
The man gritted angrily at the smiley rude reply.
He waved his hand.
" Get him!!"
Knives came out.
Ryan panicked.
" Adriano..no! Just let them take me, please" Ryan said.
Adriano didn't look at him.
" Over my dead body, Sweetheart" He replied.
The first guy lunged.
Adriano dodged and slammed a punch into his jaw, one man down.
Another swung a knife.
Adriano caught his wrist, twisted ~ crack, knife dropped.
Three came at him at once.
Adriano fought with a sharp speed ~ punches, kicks, dodged.
Two fell.
The other stumbled back.
One of men quickly grabbed Ryan and held a knife to his throat.
" Back off!" He shouted when Adriano did pulled their Boss out of the car trying to punch him.
Ryan gasped.
" A.. Adriano!"
Adriano stared in annoyance.
And at that moment, another sneakily slashed Adriano's arm from behind, giving him a cut.
Blood spilled.
" Adriano!!" Ryan screamed.
The pain only enraged him.
He kicked the attacker against the car window, glass shattering.
He grabbed the mam holding Ryan by the hair, slamming him down and pulling Ryan to his arms.
The defeated men panicked.
" Let's leave!" The boss yelled.
They scrambled into their Van and sped off.
Ryan immediately grabbed Adriano bleeding cut.
" Y..Your arm,oh my god! We have to go to the hospital!"
Adriano hissed softly but still smiled .
" You're cute when you're worried"
" This isn't funny!!!"
" I know " Adriano grinned, leaning closer." But it feels good that you care"
Ryan's cheeks flushed in fear and worry.
" Shut up and get in the car!" He scolded.
" Can you drive?"
" My ex taught me" Ryan replied and Adriano twisted his lips in jealousy.

☆ Riva's New Apartment ☆
Riva never planned on attending today's lecture.
He just couldn't.
For days, he hasn't been eating properly, barely sleeping at all.
Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Alessio ~ sweet to Nico but cold to him, uninterested and distant.
* Why did he fall for someone who would never love him no matter how hard he has tried? *
His chest felt tight.
He dragged himself out of bed, weak, dizzy and still wearing yesterday's outfit, he had gotten so drunk and luckily found his way back home.
He needed a cigarette but the packs were empty.
He stepped outside the apartment, the morning sun shining against his tired eyes. His legs wobbled as he walked towards the roadside kiosk across the street to buy some cigarette.
Halfway across the road
His vision blurred.
The world tilted
A loud horn blasted.
" Hey! Watch out!" People from the roadside yelled at him.
Riva blinked but everything felt distant, heavy and his knees buckled.
And he collapsed in front of the approaching car.
The brakes screeched.
The driver dressed properly quickly stepped out but the boss was quick to step out first.
A tall man ~ confident, calm and dressed in expensive black suit.
He reached Riva in seconds.
Without hesitation the men bent down and lifted Riva effortlessly, one arm under his knees, and one behind his back, carrying him like he weighed nothing.
Riva felt warmth against his cheek,a steady heartbeat.
His eyes fluttered.
All he saw was the man's sharp jawline, the eyes looking at him with unexpected concern.
Then, everything went black.
