Do you think you could do the same fluffy headcanons but for formaggio and Melone 👉👈
I'd be more than glad, anon!! ♡ La Squadra deserves so much love and appreciation! They're a 'one of a kind' group! When you first see them, you feel like there is something more. They’re not just a team. They’re a family, full of trust, with a past that we may never know. That’s what makes them shine! Especially Melone and Formaggio! Both very interesting and lovely choices! As always, hope you like these headcanons!
◇ Melone is a very private and guarded person. Would casually overshare details that better be left unsaid, but he’d never speak openly about anything serious. He treasures memories he has made with his loved ones, and wouldn’t really want other people talking about them.
◇ Programming takes up a lot of precious free time of his day. It saddens him that he might not have enough time to spend with you. So, while working, he'd be so focused at what he is doing, so it wouldn't bother him if you messed with him a bit. Braiding or brushing his hair, painting his nails or drawing on his arm are some of the things he'd let you do on him, to cure your boredom. Though, if you start annoying him by poking him on his face, he'll stop concentrating on the screen, giggle at your silly antics and start poking you too.
◇ Has a distinctive aroma of cheap perfume, paired with the faint smell that computers emanate, like when the chemicals start to burn when the hardware gets warm. Though, his hair has a sweet and clean aroma, probably from the melon-scented shampoo he uses.
◇ No matter what time you wake up, you'll find a warm cup of coffee left for you. You have noticed it's never scorching hot or very cold, no difference if you wake up too early or a bit late. Melone saves each time how many hours you sleep in Babyface's database, and it always predicts what time you'll wake up next day, with incredible accuracy. When it's almost 10 minutes before you rise and shine, he takes a break for once and prepares your coffee. Leaves it neatly with a cute printed card from Babyface, with hand-written words of affirmation for you!
◇ His sleep schedule is messed up. Like, really messed up. One day he might wake up when dinner is ready, and the other he might not even sleep at all. When waking up early, you have seen him numerous times in the living room area, working endless and inhumane hours. His expression is weary and tired, but when he notices you walking in, he sits straight up. His eyes light up and his smile warms your heart, as he waves at you and gently calls your name. You mention to him that you're genuinely worried about his health, but he keeps insisting that it's not a big deal. Generally, it's random for him at what hour he wakes up. He never can follow a schedule. Might not show it, but the pressure and uncertainty of his job fill him with anxiety. It's hard to maintain a normal sleep schedule when you are so unsure of the future.
◇ Affection is a confusing thing for him. The first time you'll meet him, he'll seem like the most affectionate and touchy-feely person. Will keep asking the weirdest and most intimate stuff just to mess with you. Though, when being by his side for a long time, you realize he's actually a bit awkward. When he falls for someone, he’s afraid that he might weird them out. And he doesn’t want to lose them so easily. He will respect your personal space a lot. Verbally, he'll drown you with the strangest and sweetest compliments. But whenever he wants your attention and affection, he'd rest his head on your shoulder or hold your hand. Doesn't seem like the most easily flustered person, but he turns really bashful with just an affectionate touch. Once he becomes comfortable enough in your presence, get ready for surprise hugs! ♡
◇ Doesn't really cook, but would definitely do the chores before you even mention them. In La Squadra, they split the chores evenly, and each member does their share. He would always finish them first and early in the morning, so that he would have time to work on his computer. Bless his little workaholic heart.
◇ Following the above, he would be so concentrated on finishing his job, that he wouldn't even take breaks. Melone doesn't have the best connection with his surroundings, or his needs. He would appreciate so much having someone remind him to take a break for once from work.
◇ Whenever he’s tired, he leaves Babyface in your care. It’s very close to a computer, but the trick is that it charges from being used. As Babyface fills with energy, Melone does too. So he lets you watch series, search whatever you want, or play any old school games he has downloaded (Like Pinball Space Cadet and Minesweeper. He’d probably have the Oregon Trail too.)
◇ He has Clippy on his computer. That’s all.
◇ Extremely honest and blunt. Melone might be adorably weird and constantly giving effusive praise to his close ones, but he never sugarcoats any serious issue. He doesn’t mix his work with his personal matters. At whatever he is doing, he is always extremely professional and does his best in the time he’s given.
◇ During winter, he randomly makes pillow forts from the couch pillows. When returning from work, you might find him lounging under a pile of carefully placed pillows, huddled in blankets and such. The more stern La Squadra members might discourage this behavior, but truth be told, you rarely see the pillow fort without Risotto or Prosciutto chilling in it. They insist that they’re not enjoying something so childish, but it’s difficult to move them away from it. Especially when Formaggio brings over his kittens and lets them loose in the pillow fort. They’ll make up any excuse not to leave.
◇ With this man around, a diagnosis from a doctor would be useless. Whenever you are feeling a random pain or cannot understand if your symptoms link to something, you'll just have to tell him. He’ll usually answer to you in an enigmatic way, with a question, hinting on what you will need to check.
◇ Babyface completes this ability of his. One of the things his computer can do is sensing the symptoms of every person that is close to Melone, and interpret their meaning. Whenever Melone tells you subtly that you have to give a little bit more care to a part of your body, it is because Babyface is predicting some possible but harmless illness, like a cold. This is how he shows his love for you. He hates this ability much more than he would like to admit. It pains him that he has sensed so many serious and incurable illnesses, on people that were full of life and joy.
◇ His typing speed is 600+ characters per minute. Agile, and precise typing. Rarely misspells anything. His fingers look like they’re almost floating while he’s typing. He doesn’t even have to think where to press next. It's almost automatic for him. You find it extremely impressing, but he insists it isn’t that difficult to achieve.
◇ Has collections of old computers and phones, some of which are just spare parts of them. Refuses to throw the parts out, since he insists he might need them for the devices he makes.
◇ His ideal date would be staying at home, playing video games or just cuddling. Melone enjoys quality time the most. Though, he wouldn't mind going to a technology museum or to a planetarium with you. He finds it very sweet that you acknowledge his interests. (Also would love a karaoke night.)
◇ He isn’t fond of using pen and paper. For him, typing in his computer is the easiest way of writing. But whenever he has to finish paperwork, his handwriting is so distinctive and easy to recognize. Clean, sharp and evenly spaced. Just like it was written on a typewriter. Not slanted, with relatively large and slim letters. The exact opposite of graceful cursive letters. His signature is fairly simple, and easy to the eye. Whenever he doodles, Microsoft Paint is his go-to software. Likes making random lines with the pen, and then filling the spaces with the paint bucket. Usually also doodles criss-cross lines and spirals.
◇ In his work, he’s always expected to be very distant and leave his emotions aside. Laconic, aloof and giving off a “crazy scientist” vibe. Though, he’s not stern and ruthless like Risotto, neither as assertive as Prosciutto and is by far different from Ghiaccio's lunatic attitude. He doesn’t believe he has a role that shines in the team, but he couldn’t care less. He goes at his own pace. That makes people put the “careless and cold” tag on him. But Melone is more than just that. He feels a lot, but internalizes his emotions, since it’s unexpected of his character to show what he feels. Every sensation is so repressed, it will take patience and time to reveal them. Very similar to the closed nature of Babyface, a device full of data that he can only decipher. A stand is the manifestation of someone's soul. Babyface's haunting existence lurks behind unspoken, soul-wrenching events. Unknowingly, he represses all these painful memories. Diving deeper in his past could bring you pain but also understanding for his behavior.
◇ About privacy, Formaggio wouldn’t be very similar to Melone. He wants to flaunt what he has (this also includes the relationship you two have!), but will immediately stop if it puts you in danger. Though, he loves you so much and he likes to show this all the time! Sounds cliche, but he would be the guy to put his arm around your shoulder while walking outside.
◇ Usually, he's the last to rise and shine, so he appreciates waking up to a cup of coffee prepared for him. The fact that he goes to bed way too late might be at fault. Others believe that, during the night, he's probably in missions or out doing dubious stuff. In reality, he just binge-watches movies, plays video games or searches cat videos till early in the morning. Typical guy stuff.
◇ Ideal date? Genuinely anything. Formaggio loves hanging out with you, and is a big fan of the outdoors. From going for a drink, bowling or even to an amusement park, it's no different for him. He just likes going wherever would make you happier the most. But would definitely enjoy a night watching sports or staying home and playing with the kittens he owns.
◇ Very physically expressive and observant! He is in tune with his and other people’s emotions. It’s very easy for him to recognize whenever something is bothering you. He won’t ask directly what’s wrong, but he’ll lead the conversation to that subject. He’ll give you space to express how you feel, and try his best to support you and immediately find a practical solution to the problem!
◇ Just because he is the most cheerful and energetic in the team, that doesn't mean he can't be in low spirits sometimes. When full with negative emotions, he never makes them clear. He maintains his carefree persona, since he doesn't want to make you worry about him. Won't express his feelings, unless he is cornered with questions. And when you call him out on these white lies, he just hugs you. No words spoken. Silence full of love and care. Formaggio's way of showing love is physical, and he heals this way. Whatever bothered him is gone from his thoughts after a long and supportive hug from you.
◇ Incredibly good at betting games. Wins almost every time because he is good at reading the body language of his opponent. When the situation is dire, he’d use Little Feet to his advantage, and with simple and unnoticeable movements he’ll ensure that the game ends well for him. At the worst situation, he might do that, but he’s skilled enough to not go through with cheating. He brings you with him whenever he can, and finds it cute how you are so impressed by his every move.
◇ If this wasn't clear enough, this man loves pranking others. Especially harmless call pranks. Even to the rest of the La Squadra members. Would be the person to call any number that is written on random places, like on bathroom stalls or any wall. The pranks would be more successful if he wasn’t dying of laughter each time. His main victim is Ghiaccio, since he takes every joke and prank personally and starts continually ranting about them!
◇ Has a strong smell of alcohol, paired with the scent of leather and body spray.
◇ Doesn't have the money to buy you a real mansion, but he would use Little Feet on you and make you small enough to pass time in the giant dollhouse he has. It is a very frilly and girly dollhouse! The detail he has put, in decorating it, is admirable! Would definitely use the doll brushes to style and brush your hair. Can you just imagine the amount of doll clothes and accessories he has for you? My heart!
◇ Cat father. Takes so much care of all the cats in the neighborhood, that they gather around him and overwhelm him with meows while he is just chilling outside. Plus, it would be impossible for him to not have a few kittens of his own. He showers them with affection and care, and he’s never bored to play with them! Especially elderly cats. He wants them to have the happiest memories in their remaining years. Frequent visitor in animal shelters, and has always some cash aside to donate, to ensure that the animals are well-fed and properly cared for. You’re the only one that knows about this soft side of his. Has never revealed this to the rest of his teammates, since he wants to maintain the bad boy™️ image.
◇ Bold, spidery and often illegible handwriting, that is all over the place. Very fast and precise at note taking. Prefers pen over pencil, as he never uses an eraser, and always crosses out any mistake. I’m not really sure if he is the one that finishes paperwork in La Squadra. Though, he draws the silliest sketches on whatever paper he gets his hands on, or even on his desk! The paperwork he “borrowed” (from Pesci, probably) is also filled with unfinished hangman and tic tac toe games he played with you, during serious La Squadra meetings.
◇ Formaggio's stand continually shrinks things, with intensity that becomes clear only in the end. Minimizing their value. This could be the idea he had of himself in the past. But now, Formaggio lives in the moment. He wants control over things that he couldn’t control in his past. He showers you in compliments and affection, since he never wants you to feel the loneliness and worthlessness he lived through. Maintains a very excited attitude and is very cheerful all around, because he never wants to waste a moment in his life. He wants to shape a new, better life by your side.
