#mistaaaa

I don’t take requests, but I could sprinkle that in a drabble somewhere 👀

Also, you’re more than welcome to talk about it, Anon! We’ll gladly listen and add our own thoughts.

Maybe he came from a big family, lots of younger siblings and a single mother. Maybe his dad was involved with the mafia in some way, and whether he died or just left, mista swore he'd never put his family through that. Maybe he started working young to help out, or looked after his younger siblings while his mother was at work. Maybe he had already left school before his arrest to better support his family because he loved them and he'd do anything for them. Even take a bullet or ten.

Maybe when he joined passione he sent them a letter, asking them not to try and find him, apologising for the pain he'd caused and promising to become a better man. Telling his siblings to look after their mother for him, to look after each other.

And maybe he still lives with buccaratti, even though he's one of the oldest and could live on his own. Maybe the others assume it's just mista being lazy, after all, if he lived alone he'd have to remember to do laundry and was his dishes. Maybe buccaratti privately assumes its because mista never stopped being a big brother. That it has something to do with how narancia clings to him some nights when his eye is painful and he forgets where he is, that he's not in that cold alley anymore and that no one is ever going to abandon him again. Or maybe it's how fugo will tense into a ball, muscles pulled so tight they cramp, his eyes wide open, unfocused and unblinking, and only mista's dumb jokes and stupid questions can bring him back down, remind him where he is.

But really it's because he sends almost all of his money (whatever he doesn't spend on illegal pants) back to his family, hoping the money can make up for his absence.
