"...Alright. I suppose we will take on your offer. There will be no leniency if you screw up. Understood?"

He holds out his hand to shake on it.

"You're like a little lap dog."

"Boredom isn't a good excuse. I do, however, see the potential in having a long-range stand user on our end. Leaving your team for that amount of time wouldn't cause an issue? What if you're needed and you're too busy with a job I put you on?"

//I'm ffhjhdjdh so real so true

"You can if you'd like."

He leans back in his chair, offering his lap to the other.

"I miss you."

@bequeaththecheese.bsky.social "Save me fat boy, save me."

//Thank you, I appreciate it 💜

//A small update:

Not doing very well mental health wise. It's been a little bit of a struggle keeping up with this acc. My responses will be delayed, I hope I don't upset anyone by that. Please be patient with me. Thank you.//

"...what? Guido Mista? I'm a bit surprised. What makes you both think this is a good idea? What purpose does this hold?"

He stares at the two sternly.

"...hm. Alright. If you insist."

He pulls his teammate into a warm hug. He attempts to be as soft with this hug as possible. Not exactly used to giving his team hugs.

"I know you do."

"So far no. You are safe. Ghiaccio seems to be more troublesome."

"From your perspective maybe, but I've been getting some complaints."

"...what exactly do you mean by no?"

"Hello, Illuso. I'm sure everything's going well on your end?"

"Ah, hello, Formaggio...it's nice to see you again. I've missed you."

The leader gives him a small but appreciative smile.

"Even if that's the case ask them to stop instead of dishing out threats. You'll get your way a lot faster."

"And what have they been doing to bother you?"

"Is that any way to speak to us? Especially myself." He speaks, glaring at him.

"He knows better..."

He crosses his arms.

"His...girlfriend? This is a lot of new information..."

The leader grumbled.

"Bring him here..."

"...why would Ghiaccio lash out like that? Do I need to talk with him?"

Those forehead kisses always left him feeling something, but he didn't know what to call it. He only continued to hold her.

"Did the team do something? Are you annoyed by them?" It was like he was amused by the idea.

He let out a sigh, a softness filled his chest.

"I see. I...missed you too."

He paused for a moment. "I'll always come back. I'd be a fool to die on a mission."

"Ah-"

Startled, the assassin slowly wraps his arms around her. He couldn't help but wonder why she was upset.

"Why are you tearing up? Did my absence upset you that much...?"

"I'm hoping things have gone smoothly in my time of absence."

"It's been a minute..."

"Wink wink."

"My DMs are open."
