Prosciutto x Reader : Reciprocity ?
Hey, it's been a loooooooong time ! I was not motivated AT ALL to write, and i'm stil not very much (sorry), but I'm currently back to daydreaming about some of my faves from LS and Bucci Gang, so have this CHEESY Prosciutto x Reader snippet. Hope everyone is well !
"Come on, look at me." Prosciutto said with an unusual softness in his voice. The finger hooked under your chin made you lift your head ever so slightly, and it was with a great effort that you finally brang yourself to meet the eyes of your teammate. You two weren't exactly a thing, as being in the mafia wasn't exactly the easiest job in the world. These times, your free time was sparse. You had barely flirted with the man, each and every one of your interactions never really permitting you to put words on things between you both. You had kissed him, already ; he had kissed you. There was an intimacy waiting to grow between you both, but with the missions, the papers, and everything else...you just didn't have the time. And you wondered if Prosciutto ever felt for you what you felt for him. He was so extremely laid back about all of this : about all the flirt, the occasional closeness, the kisses...But not once had he had the time, nor, maybe, the will, to take things to a next level ; that is, to have a talk with you. Maybe it wasn't that deep to him.
But as you looked into his sapphire blue eyes and saw the concern in it, you internally cowered. Today had been awful, and the last mission finally broke the camel's back : you were too tired to even hide anything, and felt that a wave of numbness and sadness was approaching you : in fact, you felt like you were a bit somewhere else. You knew that the nightmares would come, tonight. You knew Prosciutto wouldn't be there to comfort you, nor even to see you in such a state, because, sometimes, life is like that. You woud've wanted to feel his arms around you, like a protective embrace. The warmth of his body and the fresh lavender scent of his newly-washed hair.
"Please, talk to me...". You felt the couch sink beside you. His hand stroked your knee, and you practically melted, called back to reality.
You cleared your throat, still a bit lost. "I...These past few days...". You couldn't finish your sentence.
"I know." Prosciutto answered.
He always got things. He always knew. That made you heart feel warmer, in some sort of way. He understood.
The next few words that slipped out your mouth were impossible to control, much less to stop.
The confession hit the both of you hard. Very hard. There was a moment of silence, nothingness. Then :
"Has it been a longtime ?" Incapable of going back in time, you chose to nod. Very slowly nod. You started regretting everything. Of course he wasn't interested like that. Of course he had other things to do !
But his hand came back against your knee, this time slightly squeezing it. You didn't dare to look at him again.
You felt your body relax almost instantly, and next thing you know, you were in his arms. He wouldn't let you down this time.
