(IM DOING A LOT OF SETUP FOR THIS MB)
The child of a mafia family. Quite the way to grow up. Well, you were lucky. Your parents loved each other and you, unlike most mafia families. They raised you to be patient, cunning, and cruel when necessary. A delicate yet poisonous flower.
Mafioso grew up quite differently however. Yes, he grew up in the mafia business, but he wasn't quite as lucky as you. His mother killed by his father and later going on to kill his own father and become head of the business to avenge his mother. He was nothing more than a cruel crime boss in the hierarchy. He never understood love. He didn't get the chance to, really.
The Sonnellino's were your rivals.
So why the hell was he about to ask for your hand in marriage?!
It started at a meeting.
Making a deal and all that schmuck... You sat at their side, dressed in a nice suit and... honestly not paying attention much.
You glanced at Don Sonnellino. He glanced at you. Your eyes locked, if only for a moment. The meeting concluded. You waltzed up to him and handed him a slip. Your number.
No words exchanged. Just a glance and a paper. And it went from there.
Fast forward to now. A year of being in love with each other. You kept it hidden from your parents and his men, sneaking and dancing around the topic.
But Mafioso was determined to change that. To unite the families. No more fighting, no more rivals... no more pretending.
Your one year anniversary, you two sat in Colasantes, which he so kindly rented out for the night so you two would be alone... outside the staff of course. Which he had to death-threat to get them to listen. You were eating your food, trying to not get sauce on you. He seemed a bit out of it though.
"...caramia?" You looked at him. He took a deep breath and grabbed his hand. "Amore, you-..." He didn't know what to say, he wasn't good with this emotional speech stuff... so, he decided; 'fuck it'.
He pulled out the ring box. "Marry me, amore. Take my last name. And we'll unite our families. We'll be unstoppable together... Just you... and me... hell, maybe even a kid."
He opened the box and held it out to you. It was a slick, black ring with an amethyst in the center. "Please, caramia.... let me be yours."
...holy shit your heart pounded in your ears.
