"You failed to check-in, Angela. We came to get you. Put the kidnapper's kid down and I'll-"
"Uncie Wuciano?!" I slowly turned around to be met with those bold crimson eyes that have haunted me since I first saw them. Crimson slowly took his mask off looking at Florence shocked.
"Rence? What…? Uh, Angela what did you say this place was again?"
"HEY FRATELLO DID YOU SAVE THE WISH LADY YET!?" I looked over as Ink Sac yelled at his brother while he jumped the fence.
"UNCIE WEI GET ME GIFT!" Ink's face fell.
"Rence?... Oh no she's going to kill us!" Ink smacked Crimson in the back of the head. "Today was Lovino's family gathering you idiot. No wonder she wasn't responding. You know how Sorella is when she host shit."
"LUCIANO VENICE TALIA, AND REMUNO SEBORGA TALIA! YOU BOTH BETTER HAVE A GOOD REASON FOR CRASHING MY HUSBANDS EVENT!"
"Oh no, we're so dead… quick Via protect me from my Sorella's wrath." I squeaked as Ink pushed me in front of them both. I nearly fell before Crimson caught me.
"Watch it! Hurt her, and I make you lose another finger." Crimson hissed out to his brother. When Falicia reached us she pulled me behind her to glare her brothers down apparently. Wait Falicia is Crimson's twin then… I see it slightly. If she'd been darker at least. Florence was starting to get restless in my arms, but I wasn't sure if it was safe to set him down yet.
"Both of you have the nerve to crash this event. Get to explaining before I make you regret being related to me."
"Already do…" Crimson mumbled putting his hands in his pockets. Falicia pulled him down to here height glaring deeply into his eyes. "Our colleague wasn't answering her damn phone so we feared the worst. You do that in this stupid line of work."
"You work with Via?" Falicia looked back at me annoyed. "Why didn't you tell me that you work with my Fratello's now!"
"I… I uh didn't know you were related Icia I swear… I met them through my best friend… I had some kids wish to meet them." She nodded her head slowly.
"Fine… Didn't she tell you giants, where she was going!"
"Ask Lulu she told him most the info!" Crimson sent Ink a death glare.
"Mato I pway with my uncies, and aunt Via now!" Falicia shooed me and her son away so I went to play with him till they were done arguing I guess. It felt like it took forever, but I felt a presence behind me after a while.
"So would you prefer I keep calling you Crimson or is Luciano fine now that you have been exposed?" There was some grumbling until he sat next to me.
"Actual names fine now I guess… I didn't know you two were so close. He never talks about his aunt when I'm around. Remuno gets an earful though I'm pretty sure." He mumbled out referencing Florence who's drawing a picture of me and him.
"I used to babysit him actually till I was finally given a chance with filling kids' wishes. Lovi was always out of town for work, and apparently, Icia was too busy being a hero to raise her son… I missed him, but he finally had his father around so I went to help kids who didn't even have that."
"You sure a hell did great with all of that Angela don't worry."
"He mentioned his uncles some, but never by name and Icia never said a single thing about you."
"Yeah, no surprise she can be a damn bitch at times. She gave me an earful for more reasons than just crashing this damn Heta get together."
"Yeah, that was really dramatic." He groaned slightly.
"We thought you got taken or something cut us some damn slack Angela!"
"WAIT! SHE THE GIRL YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT!" We both looked over as we heard Lovino and Falicia yell from across the pool. I looked over at Luciano confused as he just slowly puts his head in his hands.
"Oh fuck me."
"Aunt Via uncie Wuciano's ange?" Florence waddled up to me with the picture he made. "Make uncie happy yay! Give me more cousins?"
I blushed deeply as I took the picture from my nephew horrified by his request, and new information the others gave me. So he wasn't messing up my name he's just been calling me an angel in a different language. I should have known after all Luciano kept every little detail about me as he could without Switch's help. How does one keep pushing their feeling down when more reasons to go with them arise. I hate how my mind and heart can't make up their options over what to do with Luciano. We now know he likes me, but for some reason, we can't decide if we feel the same. I hate it!
"That's it before you make this shit worst I'm taking her home. Come on Via." He claimed grabbing my wrist and making me follow him somewhere. Well, that just sent my stomachs in knots. He hasn't called me by my name since he walked me home the first time. I hate yet love how it sounded nice when he said it. I just let him lead me wherever he wanted while I spaced out in thought. Till it hit me how far I actually am from home. Lovino had to come pick me up since it's like two-hour walks.
"Wait are we going to walk?" He just chuckled shaking his head.
"No, I figured we could ride, be a whole lot fucking faster!" He stopped in front of a black motorcycle with a red burst of colors in some areas. Like when food coloring hit water. It was really pretty honestly. He picked up a red glittered motorcycle helmet, and put it on my head. He made sure to put the visor down than just stared at me with a mixture of emotions in his eyes longer than he probably meant. He gave his head a little shake before he said something else. "Figured we'd need a faster escape then walking… Just didn't know it would be from my damn Sorella and her annoying assumptions."
"Oh, uh, okay." He got on the bike with ease and gestured for me to the same with his head. I nervously did as he asked. Besides when I hugged him at the hospital him this is the closest I've actually been to him. I slowly wrapped my arms around his waist. This is so weird I could smell him and it was a weird mixture of vanilla, and uh, blood, iron? I couldn't tell the second one. He started the bike, and sound scared me into holding onto him as tight as I could. I wasn't sure, but I think I could hear him chuckling over the sound of the engine.
The ride wasn't as scary as I assumed it was going to be. I never loosened my grip on Luciano though. As I've mentioned before this he just had a safe feeling to him when he shouldn't. What murder can make someone feel safe? Well apparently him and Lutz. He was also oddly comfy so I won't punish myself too hard for nuzzling into him most of the ride. I'll never be positive, but I'm pretty sure he took the longest route ever made to get me home. At least the city was pretty to look at during sunset so if anyone asked in the future I'm going to pretend this is my first date because it's just been beautiful and so comfy.
