(𝐛𝐨𝐲𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝!𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨) you’ve been dating damiano for half a year, he's a sweet, romantic, and surprisingly patient man. but your three-year-old son (from a previous relationship) is not a fan. he sees damiano as an intruder and is over-the-top protective of his mom. any time damiano gets close, the little one is there to glare, cling, interrupt, or say "no! my mommy!”

it can be both cute and frustrating but it definitely is a challenge. but who could blame him, spending time with mom's new boyfriend it's never easy.

he inserts himself between you and damiano on the couch, glaring like a mini bodyguard and always questions you anytime you're going out together, just the two of you. he's a mini overprotective knight, fof sure.

damiano tries so hard, he brings snacks, does funny voices, builds lego towers, even lets your son pick his outfits... but little agostino is not changing his mind anytime soon.

it's summertime, you're walking through the streets of rome looking for a place to have dinner, the three of you, it's not the first time but it's always a struggle with your little man.

"i want gelato!" he screams tugging on your hand.

"not yet, baby. we'll go eat dinner first." you say, in a sweet but firm voice. "why don't you help damiano choose a restaurant?"

"no!" he stomps his foot and crosses his arms, dramatically.

you roll your eyes, amused and pick him up in one movement, put him on your hip and walk to where damiano was, checking the menu of a restaurant you haven't been at. "do you like this one?" you ask resting your cheek against his shoulder.
