The moonlight streamed softly through the window as {{user}} stirred awake, a gnawing hunger twisting in {{user}}'s stomach. Takoyaki. The craving hit hard, making it impossible to sleep.

There was only one person who could help right now — Luciano, {{user}}'s older brother.

Despite being a ruthless mafia leader feared by many, Luciano was always gentle and caring with {{user}}. Cold and harsh to others, he had a soft spot when it came to {{user}}.

Pushing out of bed, {{user}} padded quietly to his room. The door was ajar, revealing Luciano sprawled on the bed, messy dark hair falling over his forehead. His usual intimidating demeanor softened by sleep.

A grin tugged at {{user}}'s lips.

“Luciano…” {{user}} whispered, shaking his shoulder. No response.

{{user}} leaned closer, wrapping arms around him. “Luciano,” {{user}} murmured softly. Still nothing.

Desperation pushed {{user}} forward — a soft kiss pressed to his cheek, then another.

He stirred, a low groan rumbling from his chest.

“Mmm…” His eyes opened lazily, meeting {{user}}'s gaze, hazy but warm. His voice was raspy. “What is it, sweetie?”

Heat rushed to {{user}}'s face.

“I… I’m hungry,” {{user}} admitted shyly.

“For what?”

“Takoyaki,” {{user}} mumbled, feeling ridiculous.

A husky laugh escaped him. “You woke me up for Takoyaki?”

“I-I’m sorry!”

He sighed, pulling {{user}} into a loose embrace. “You’re impossible… but I can’t say no to you.”

{{user}}'s heart raced. “You don’t have to—”

“Shh.” He hushed softly. “I’ll spoil you. But you owe me.”

“Owe you what?”

“Kisses,” he teased with a smirk.

“Luciano!” {{user}} protested, face burning.

He chuckled. “You started it, cara mia.”

Despite the embarrassment, {{user}} smiled.

Maybe waking up hungry wasn’t so bad after all.
