Lovely Sayings
Summary: There will forever be new ways to say you love me. Just listen closely.
NoPov"Ren, do you think you ate enough?"
"Victoria you have to watch your steps Bambina!"
"Did you have a good day Luci? We're so glad you're home!"
"Rue, did you sleep well? You look a little tired. Would you like me to sing to you, so you can take a nap?"
"Vampy. Bambino, I know you're excited, but you really need to put a seat belt on."
There are so many ways a person can say I love you. Though one person is the most loving person around doesn't mean they let those three words slip out every time they open their mouth. They try their best to express everything through what they do and say.
"Watch your sibling for me please Floren."
Was gently asked as a kiss was planted on a tan forehand by pale soft lips.
"You're going to get hurt if you don't let someone in Ruemen, please stop pushing everyone away."
A stressed request made as several kisses we're showered on bruised and bloody knuckles. Plum eyes looking away annoyed and embarrassed from the overly worried Lavender ones kneeling before him.
"Well don't you look, adorable princess!"
Was explained sweetly as freckled cheeks were repeatedly kissed over and over, filling the room with excited giggles.
"Vamps there is no need to worry I'll be back before you know it. Just you watch!"
A cheerful explanation was given before eyelids were gently kissed hiding teary garnet eyes.
"Please stay safe Luci…"
A soft demand made before two sets of lips met in a goodbye.
A tight hug as one leaves for work.
A bear hug to bring a young one back to reality.
A quick hug for one that would rather be anywhere but there.
A tight hug from behind while someone gets help reading.
A long hug with a head tucked under a chin to show someone they still matter.
So many simple ways for one man to say I love you. So many different people for one man to love. Thankfully he was gifted with such a large heart or he'd explode from it all. Just so much.
"Mother, I have a question…"
'Mhmm? Sí what is it, Rue?" Plum eyes look up at the light-haired man with a mix of annoyed and concern.
"How… How do you know if someone loves you?" The light-haired male smiled softly at his son and patted the spot on the couch next to him.
"It's simple bambino, " The man started as his son sat down. "You have to listen and pay attention."
"What the hell does that even mean? What fucking fortune cookie bullshit are you about to make me fucking listen to!" A soft chuckle filled the air.
"It's not fortune cookie nonsense, Ruemen trust me… Would you like an example of what I mean?"
"That's why I fucking asked!"
"Well, you know how your Sorella loves to have fashion shows in everything I make her?" Ruemen nodded his head confused. "That's her way of physically showing me she loves me. The same goes for when Vamps bakes you gingerbread cookies when I'm away in hopes it'll aid you in sleep."
"Is that why he does that? It never works so it confused the hell out of me but hey it was a free dozen of my favorite cookies." Ruemen explained slightly understanding. "Can… Can you do a few more mom?"
"Hmm okay. You know every time Ren yells about Vittoria needing to be more careful on stairs… Well, that's him telling her he loves her just in a different way. You can tell by his tone of voice." Ruemen watched his mother figure intrigued which was a rare thing. "Okay hmm, another example in that style would be when your father is constantly getting on Vamps for not letting his emotions out when he should. That's him caring since he doesn't like to see what bottling everything up eventually leads to. It hurts his heart no matter what he says."
"Well, I guess this makes sense…"
"You do it too Rue." The lemon head claimed softly.
"NO I DON'T! YOU MUST BE WATCHING THE WRONG KID I DON'T LOVE ANYONE!" A joyful laugh flooded through the room at such a dramatic lie.
"Rue dear. I can give you a few examples. For one whenever you see Leon you keep looking at him even if he's looked away." A soft blush rushed to the short boys' face. "How about when you always sit and play with your Sorella even if you would rather be doing something else."
"I… okay fine. You win mom just stop!" Ruemen covered his face in embarrassment. His mother figure smiled softly at him.
"Is that all you wanted to ask bambino?" The lemon head asked softly stroking the short boys onyx hair gently.
"Yuh… Do… Do you love us mother… I mean you never say it much unless something bad transpired with someone which rarely happens." Ruemen mumbled uncomfortably.
"Rue did you not listen to anything I just said. People do more than just say those three silly words bambino. You need to pay attention." Ruemen grumbled annoyed.
"YEAH WELL, SOME PEOPLE NEED TO ACTUALLY FUCKING HEAR THEM AND NOT JUST ASSUME SHIT!" Ruemen yelled glaring deeply into lavender eyes.
"Ruemen… Maybe you should ask yourself why you think I wouldn't love any of you. This household is my everything." Ruemen looked at the elder man wide-eyed.
"Why… I… For me, it's easy to think that no one fucking loves me. You're my damn mother you know how I am!" The blond pulled the younger close.
"Better than you'd like to admit bambino. That's the very reason I'll never feel ill towards you." Ruemen leaned his head on the elder shoulder.
"Please you may like settling for assuming how everyone feels, but I'm not like that." A heavy sigh left the elder's lips.
"Fine. I love everyone in this house Ruemen. More than any of you can know. Some like showing instead of saying."
"Oh, Love you too momo… I'm home by the way." Floren explained as he walked into the house. He looked confused but happy as he looked up at his mother figure from his phone. The blond sent his eldest son a soft smile.
"I LOVE YOU TOO MOMMY! I'll BRING YOU SOME OF THE COOKIES I'M MAKING!" Vamps yelled from the kitchen thrilled. The blond chuckled softly.
"Mammina! Loves us! Mammina only loves us yay!" Vittoria cheered rushing down the stairs jumping into the male's laps on the couch. She smiled brightly up at the blond as her soft onyx hair bounced on her cheeks. Which the blond gently brushed away for her.
"Love you more than fucking anything and you know that Fal," Luciano explained kissing Flavio's temple as he walked by on the way to his office.
"Don't let your work stress you out, Luci!" Flavio yelled as the door shut. The crimson eyed adult rolled his eyes at the request but didn't complain knowing fully well it was how his husband showed he cared. Unlike their son apparently.
"CAN YOU ALL FUCK OFF THIS WAS MY TALK WITH MOM! CAN'T DO ANYTHING IN THIS HOUSE!" Flavio smiled softly at his second eldest. He grumbled and patted Flavio's leg while he ruffled Vittoria's hair. Flavio knew like himself Ruemen was more of a shower than to express stuff verbally. He just didn't know it himself or how to see it in others. Hopefully, he'll figure it out someday. Flavio kissed Ruemen's temple.
"Did you understand that?"
"Yeah, mom… yeah, I did."
"Good, let's go enjoy whatever your Fratello made!"
