All that ruthlessness? Suddenly gone.

He's literally so different when his pretty wife is near. You could even confuse him with another person!

Don't be fooled though. Only because he's gentle with you doesn't mean other people get the same luck. Though he would never hurt you, oh no, never, the same cannot be said about a random man who owes him that had the misfortune to encounter him in a moment of rage.

And it's the same with the people who mess with you. You didn't like how someone acted to you? Dead. Someone spoke badly of you? Their funeral's coming. Even the smallest things like looking at you wrong is enough for his goons to go pay them a visit.

Talking about the goons, not only did you manage to make their boss fall for you, you somehow made them fall for you too! (Literally for Contractre. He fell down the stairs seeing you for the first time.)

Mafioso.. actually doesn't really mind sharing you with them. I mean, they're his favorite goons, have been working with him for years, and at the end of the day? If you get Mafioso you get his goons as a plus 4 in the relationship. Period.

When Mafioso can't be with you for the night, for whatever may be the reason, the goons are more than happy to take his spot. You want the four at the same time? There's not a single part of your body going unhuged. You want only one? They're playing rock paper scissors to decide who's having the privilege of sleeping with you.

Whenever you wake up earlier than them, trust me they will NOT let you get off bed. They have a iron grip, and refuse to let your warm go.

They're also great cuddlers! (Soldier's the best btw.) Whenever you're feeling down for a movie night they're right next to you, Caporegime letting you sit on his lap, arms hugging your waist and head resting on top of yours, Consigliere resting on your right side while holding hands, Contractee laying his head in your shoulder while being on your left side, and Soldier laying with his head on your lap and letting you play with his hair.

I feel like Mafioso doesn't really like movies, but he likes your cuddles. So once in a while (very very very rarely) he'll be joining you guys.

You can expect for at least one of them to follow you when you go shopping. And whoever is with you carries your bags. No arguing.

Going back to our dear Mafioso, this man is SPOILING you with dinners in expensive restaurants, fancy date nights, and rare vintage jewelry. Not to mention that he definitely leaves his credit card with you whenever he's out.

Does not let you pay for shit. Not because the thinks you can't pay for it or anything, he just likes paying for your stuff! And definitely likes when you ask him to buy you things. Correction he loves it.

Not to mention your wedding.. holy shit. Not that there were many people or anything, just the ones you two wanted to invite. But lord it was expensive. And absolutely gorgeous. You looked like a fucking goddess in your dress, and Mafioso? He almost forgot how to even breath just looking at you.

And your honeymoon, you may ask? Dude reserved an entire fancy 5 star resort just for you two to enjoy without distractions. I want a man like that.

Also, not really a relationship headcannon, but you CANNOT convince me that Mafioso isn't a girl dad.

Please bare with me, him, the man who makes people lose their breath just by looking at them, who people fear like he's the plage—wearing a suit covered in pink glitter and star stickers to a meeting with a mini copy of himself sat on his lap. You see my vision?

OR having the goons take care of the kid while he's at a meeting so Mafioso keeps his reputation, which is the most probable scenario, and they end up playing barbies with her, like these big buffy men who break skulls almost daily making feminine voices and Caporegime wearing a plastic tiara because she felt like he'd look cute in a tiara. They're not understanding why she wants to make the Barbies fight and then kiss but whatever the little boss says.

Type of dad to say "I know how to make people disappear" when she introduces him her partner.

- If he wasn’t in the mafia business, he’d be dropping your name / title every other sentence.

- Disposes of anyone who makes you uncomfortable. That guy who was semi-flirting with you made you feel weird? No worries - he’s gone.

- Don and all of his goons are “scary dog” material. You’ll never have to worry about taking a long walk at night - you’ve got “spooky dog” privileges.

- If one of his enemies had enough nerve to even simply imply they’d do something to you, they won’t be heard from again.

- Not the jealous type; he’s secure in himself and his relationship with you. He believes that if you wanted something different, you’d tell him and/or leave. However, this doesn’t mean he won’t be by your side whenever he gets to see you - he’s protective, maybe to a fault.

- Not entirely keen on PDA; an arm around your shoulder? Sure. A hand on your back? Absolutely. Holding hands? Ehh… maybe. The only reason he’s hesitant about PDA is because he doesn’t want anyone getting ideas. If any rivals know you’re dating THE Mafioso, that’s an immediate target on your back. Don isn’t risking that - you’re much too important to him.

- Affection in private, however? Oh, boy, don’t get him started. He’s like a damn rabbit: nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck, arms wrapped around your waist, the fattest grin displayed on his lips - expect a few smooches on your cheeks and neck. He’s infatuated, I fear.

- When holding you, he’ll often rock the both of you if he can’t thump his foot.

- Loves playing cheesy, older, romantic jazz songs while slow dancing with you: hand in hand, gaze held within the tender moment. He’s all yours, forever and always.

- He enjoys it when you’re seen in his clothing - his big, fuzzy coat over your shoulders makes him feel an odd sense of pride.

- Loves marathoning movies with you and is a total snugglebunny about it.

- If you’re a talker, he’ll always listen to whatever you have to say, especially if you’re talking about any hyperfixations or special interests; he’ll buy you everything you want relating to those.

- He wears a ring on his left ring finger, so it usually draws a couple of questions. Despite not being your husband (yet, if that’s what you desire), he always replies in the same way: he’s married. He discloses no more information after that.

- If you stole his hat, he’d silently walk up to you, snatch it back, and say, “Don’t–– don’t do that again.” It’s clear he’s flustered; he appreciates his hat very much.

- Speaking of his hat, if Don asked you out first, he’d hold his hat solemnly in his hand, allowing you a good look into his eyes, before asking for your time on a first date. If you asked Don out, he’d do the same motion with a redder face. Hat in hand, he’d courteously accept. Damn this fluttery feeling - is this what infatuation really feels like?

- Of course, he puts his hat back once you both reintegrate into society. You’re one of the only ones who gets the privilege to see his unobscured face.

- Assuming Don’s the one who ripped the bandaid off first, (since, if you did, i’m not sure where you’d take him for a first date) I don’t think he’d tell you where you’d both be heading - maybe for a sweet surprise, maybe not.

- He’d end up taking you to a luxurious restaurant: leather booths, elegant light fixtures, a decked-out bar, and maybe even a damn band, too! It’s crystal clear that this fine dining establishment costs much more than the average eatery. And you… well, given the off chance that you actually wore something fancy, there’d be no problem! Given the likely chance you haven’t, Don’d fix that. Of course, he wouldn’t mind. He’d just make a mental note to take you clothes shopping later.

- Don’t worry about the price. Seriously. If you even mention your wallet, Don’s already pulling his out, chatting with the waiter / cashier. This man is a menace when it comes to money (if his profession didn’t make it obvious enough) - he won’t let you pay for anything.

- Tacking on, he’ll always carry your bags. Always; loves doing favors for you.

- Whenever you step into the Sonnellino Casino, the family’d make damn good sure you’d always be the winner. Playing poker? Four of a kind, another full house, and a royal flush? How unbelievably lucky! Of course, they’d make it believable; subtlety is the Sonnellinos’ specialty. No one would want to play with a dirty, triple 7 hittin’, prize-stealing cheater, after all.

- There’s occasional teasing from the boys. (mostly Soldier. Sometimes Consigliere and Contractee have a little fun, too, but it’s mostly Soldier) Of course, just one glare from Don silences them for a day. maybe.

- As much as he loves you, sometimes he can’t indulge you with every thing you want to do. That’s why his goons help him out! You need to head to the store? Alright, Caporegime can come with - if you’re comfortable.

- Mafioso trusts Caporegime and Contractee the most when it comes to helping you out - don’t get me wrong, he trusts all his goons, but he trusts those two the most with those situations.

Soldier would probably do something stupid to impress you and then get both of you into trouble. That, or he’d buy you as many things as you’d want. Not that it’s an issue to Don, but nobody needs to eat three bags full of sweets (though if you do, I’m certainly not one to judge… LMAO)

Consigliere, although (usually) much more behaved than Soldier, would likely find loopholes in Don’s orders in order to spoil you, too. He’s much more sly with it, however: “Well, ya never said we couldn’t do dat, Boss.”

- Honestly, the goons might just have a thing for you. Seems you’ve got the whole gang wrapped around your finger, now.

- You two have a special sort of connection; whenever you enter a room Don’s in, or vice versa, your eyes lock onto one another, and you can immediately tell what the other is feeling.

- Tacking onto this, whenever you two are together, Don’s smile is always genuine. He can’t help it, he loves seeing you.

- You can totally boss Don around; he doesn’t mind it all that much. Honestly, he wouldn’t mind it at all if you pulled him in by his tie and smooched his face off. (He wants it.)

- His pet names for you include: Doll, Handsome and/or Beautiful, Darling, Toots, Prince/ss (or Royalty), Coniglio, Cuore mio, Caro, and Tesoro (Bunny, my Sweetheart, Dear, and Treasure, respectively)

- ONLY calls you “embarrassing” pet names in Italian. (ex: bunny) Will not be caught dead calling his partner “bunny” in English.

- He loves to lightheartedly tease; it’s cute, little things - the type of guy to say, “My lips are cold,” to get a (not so sly) kiss.

- If you’re both up early, he’d take you for a late-night / early-morning drive around town. Whether you both sit in silence, enjoying the sound of each other’s breath, or if you two are chatting about whatever’s on the sky’s mind, Don wouldn’t trade it for the world.
