“Here, I gotcha covered. Just don’t miss.”

Luciano grinned impishly at the other, eyeing her lazily as he leaned back in his chair. His fingers laced together as his legs crossed, and he was half-tempted to put the recliner back just to prove a point. He couldn’t, however, keep his face straight and he burst into laughter.“Of course I will.”

Luciano frowned to prove a point, a pout forming at his lips as his arms crossed quietly. He wasn’t sure where this came from, but his good mood turned sour pretty quickly after that. He’ll show her change in attitude.

Luciano leaned against the brick wall, cold against warm skin and god he wished he could be inside right now. Through the curtains he could see her dancing, laughing with his father, his aunt, and he wanted to be there.He wanted to be there so badly - he needed to be there.But he couldn't.Day after day he'd kept an eye on her, of course he had. He'd watched her to make sure she was safe, kept his sights on anyone suspicious, stayed as close as possible while he did his job.He'd nearly been caught looking out for her, and he didn't care. God he just wanted to hold her, and their daughter, dancing in the candlelight with her grandfather, a little ball of energy that he'd give anything for.Still, he couldn't be there. Not yet.And so he turned away, walking off once more with an aching heart and not seeing his wife see him through the window, staring with hurt in her eyes and a lonely murmur of his name.It was five months later he returned, and that night he never left their sides.He had both eyes on them, and kept the curtains closed shut, and merely held them close, relieved to once more be a presence, and no longer just a wraith.

Luci gets wide-eyed and smiles, looking down before shuffling a bit and looking back up at the girl."Same to you, Melly."He hugs her tight then and just stays there for a few minutes until they had to go to work.

"Come ooooooon.""But that's effort.""Fun effort.""Effort isn't fun.""Come ooon.""How about I'll dance around when your son stops being so rough.""...Naaaaaah COME ON."Lissa laughed at the man, totally unfazed by her comments and jumping up and down like he was five, and grinned at him."What's in it for me?""Exercise! Free food! Most likely more sex from my son because really he won't be able to help himself with you all sweaty and out of breath.""...True."Lissa grinned then, standing up with a groan and stretching, and catwalked past Aurelio with a little smirk."C'mon then, Aurelio, let's see who is the better dancer."

"Excuuuuuse you?"The man huffed, back straightening as he stared at her in mock offense."I am a shooting star and you are holding on tight as we race across the sky."He laughs a bit then and kisses her gently, winking as he pulls away."No, falling is more apt, and you caught me so fast I barely knew what happened. Good catch."

Luciano woke up to his brother laughing hysterically next to him and he groaned, kicking the other out of bed and rolling over in the sheets. "Shut up, it's too early for you.""Dude, it's noon.""Too early.""You wake up at 6 AM.""Shut up.""...oooh Luciii-"Vincenzo screeched as his brother picked up a pillow and slammed it down onto his head, springing up on the bed with a devilish glint in his eye and a snarl."Wanna go, Vin? After every night this week?""...Nah."Luciano laid back down, sighing agitatedly, and just closed his eyes, imagining Lissa's body instead, her bare curves, her voice when she moaned his name, the scenes from last night's dream and Vincenzo made a gagging noise and Luciano sighed, standing up to take a shower and get ready for the day instead to his brother's laughter.
