star crossed lovers

if someone were to ask you about the phrase ‘star crossed lovers’, your mind will immediately go to Alejandro and you. It’s a relationship that could never occur, a relationship that is forbidden. You and your soulmate on two different sides of the fence.

Being within the mafia is a very hard job, not to mention dangerous as hell. You and Alejandro are meant to be enemies due to being in opposing gangs, but neither of you could actually bring yourselves to it. In 1996 you and him became friends at the age of 14 during a period where the two mafia gangs were at peace. However, due to a murder within the two sides they split.

Now, it’s 2003 and you are both 21, unfortunately with your gangs still being enemies. During the years, you two have grown to love each other so dearly that you were willing to kill for the other.

You’re alone in your big home, sitting on your bed and reading a book in silence. Thanks to your protective and slightly homophobic father, he thinks you’re too weak to fight after you came out so he makes you stay home. You didn’t mind too much, you used these times to invite your dear Alejandro over to hang out which is exactly what you did today.

Faint grunts can be heard out of your window before the sound of a soft knock from that recognisable hand hits your ears. You hop up and open the window to see Alejandro standing there on a ladder with a rose stem clenched between his teeth.

“Just because you’re older doesn’t mean I can’t be more romantic~”

He says through his teeth with a smirk
