TWENTY-ONE Leone is shirtless, leans back on his elbows. Armando is laying with the hem of his pants, smirking. Armando: Buon compleanno, Bello! Questo è gratis.
Leone started to see someone in the red light district.
If you think Armando looks awfully lot like Bruno: you are correct. :D

#ButlerAU #LeoneAbbacchio
NEXT MORNING Bruno fell asleep on the chair, and leans on Leone!s bed. Leone just woke up and freaking out by the proximity with his crush. He thinks: We're sharing a pillow... Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!
[2/2]
Bonus. Because I have to torment Leone some more. :3
And yes, realising his crush on his boss was part of his problem why he chose his new "hobby".
#bruabba #butlerAU
Tomoko is wiping her bloody hands. Bruno faces him and says: Thank you for saving his life. Tomoko: I have not. Not yet. Yes, the bruised ribs and the broken arm will heal, and I think his eye is not permanently damaged either. Bruno looks shocked. Tomoko continues: But he lost a significant amount of blood. The concussion could also cause long term problems. And the side effects from the hit on his sternum could still stop his heart! Cut to Tomoko. She seems like she's seething but holds back: While it vexes me as his doctor, I will refrain from expressing my opinion: people are free to do as they wish. But he'll have to make a choice between following down this path or remain your vassal. And I do hope, if nothing else, he has at least a shred of respect for you and your efforts to keep him well!
Bruno sits Leone's bedside. Leone looks quite battered. Arm and left eye bandaged, bruises are all over him. Bruno has blood all over his coat. He looks tense. Bruno: Why...? If you had a problem.. You could have talked to me! Leone: Nothing...like that. Just...for sports. Bruno (looks furious and disbelieving): For 'SPORTS'?! Squalo's Dire Clash boxing tournament??! Bruno (looks away): If this is a joke, it's your worst one yet.
Leone: Pft, sorry. It must be the concussion. (smirks) Bruno (looks murderous): NOT. Funny! Leone: Haha, no, it's...not. I know...I'm ridiculous... I apologise. Bruno (seems to reach some decision): So... If you want your arse kicked...for 'sport'... You needn't look elsewhere. I can do that for you at home! (He stares coldly.) Leone (closes his eye): Heh...Alright...deal.

Leone had some turmoil to sort through so he decided the best way to go about it was to go underground boxing. It went well(ish) until he was pinned against Risotto.

NINETEEN Ennio and Leone sit at a barpult in Carabinieri uniform, with a jug of beer. Ennio says: "Buon compleanno, amico." Leone blushes.
He's at Sardinia now. And had his 2nd crush.
(And the bi experience of his two crushes dating. :D)
#ButlerAU #LeoneAbbacchio
A maid pulls Leone down for a kiss and says "Buin compleanno, maggiordomo."
Newly appointed butler of the Melone household. :)
He also had his 1st crush, Sofi~
#ButlerAU #LeoneAbbacchio
Leone is seven, he stands proud and happy in his new breeches as his big sister kneels in front of him saying " Buon compleanno, Cucciolo..." She looks sad, knowing this is his last with the family.
Belated bday pict for #LeoneAbbacchio :3
It is a series for #ButlerAU I will post the rest in the thread. : )
This is right before Leone is sold off into servitude for the Melones :,D
Snippet of a comic page. Leone leans over Bruno, who lays on the ground. They are both panting - supposedly after sparring. Leone (smirking): You cheated. Bruno (satisfies): I didn't bite. Leone: This wasn't Savate. Bruno (smug): I improved it.

Intimate scene in a bed, they are in underwear. Bruno: I'd like to try something. Close your eyes. Leone smiles and obeys. Bruno leaves the bed. Leone (lounging on the bed): A new toy perhaps? Bruno is back, we only see their silhouettes now. Leone: So? Can I open them now? Bruno: Mhm~ Leone slowly opens his eyes, we see his face shocked and horrified.

Bruno in a nightgown, looks tired and bruised. At his bedside Leone is dressed casually. Bruno: Once I recover, I want to travel. First, up North, then we'll see... Leone: Understood. I'll make arrangements. Bruno: Leone... I don't need a butler... Or a valet or a footman. Leone looks thunderstruck. Bruno (avoiding Leone's eyes): No, let me rephrase it. I don't WANT a valet. I don't want a paid servant to follow me around. I'll manage.
Leone looks distraught, looking in front of himself. Bruno still looks at anything but him. He continues: But... If you find it in you to come... as an equal, my partner... Leone is thunderstruck again, by this offer. Bruno, oblivious to his emotional roller coaster: I can not promise you comfort or predictable schedules. So... If you'd rather stay, I can arrange that-- Leone (equally flustered and furious, makes a grab at his hand and holds onto his shoulder): FUCKING HELL, BRUNO! I thought you were going to...
Leone (now holds both of Bruno's hands): Listen. There hasn't been a place I could call home since I was seven. Until I met you! Bruno is taken aback. Leone lean closer, until their forehead touches and he caresses Bruno's face. He continues: Of course I'd go with you! To the end f the world, and beyond! Bruno leans into Leone's touch, their interlaced fingers. Last panel chibi style. Leone (grinning): Besides, you can't fire me, I QUIT! You heard me, I just had about enough, you're a terrible employer! But both of them has a little heart above their head

Leone was jump scared by Macaron, Bruno's dapple grey Andalusian horse, because she knows all apples belongs to her. So she moved to take the one in Leone's hand. Narancia chuckles, Fugo smiles amused and Mista seems seconds away from bursting out in laughter. Bruno looks baffled by Leone's "overreacting".
⚜MARCH⚜️
"Happy Birthday"
Yes, Narancia totally did that on purpose. :)
Macaron knows ALL the apples are hers. It's Leone who's in the wrong. 😔

It's heavy rain. Bruno (runs up to Leone and throws a fur blanket on him): You'll catch your death! Leone (sullen): At least I'll be out of your hair for good. Bruno is shocked by this outburst.
Bruno reaches out to touch Leone's arm, but he jerks it away. Bruno hangs his head. They both stand in the rain, silent, unable to communicate their hurt. Bruno finally speaks: Go inside, Leone. Please...

Bruno (rushes in the kitchen in slippers, a banyan and his undershirt): "IS SOMETHING ON FIRE?" Smoke is curling out from the oven. Leone (mournfully holding a tray of black charcoal): "The biscotti...are burned to a crisp. I take full responsibility." Bruno (leans against the door, relieved): "Oh, just the biscotti... Thank goodness..." He perks up again when it dawns on himm: "WAIT! My biscotti??" Dramatically screaming at the sky (chibi style): "NOOOOOOO"

Top panel. Bruno (completely oblivious of the effect of his words on Leone, who's having a heart attack.) blah blah blah it's a LENGTHY PROCESS, as though I've ever complained about LENGTH. Leone: ngh (mortified) Bruno: blah blah blah and SLOW AND STEADY works just as well, don't you think? Leone: Ugh...(flustered) Bruno: The basis of any good partnership is MUTUAL SATISFACTION. Leone (leans on the wall, beetroot red): Please stop talking! Bruno looks puzzled. Bottom panel. Leone is sweeping the garden from cherry petals, completely oblivious of the effect of his words on Bruno, who looks completely love struck. Leone: blah blah, don't forget, WE'RE TOGETHER in this. Bruno (thinks): ..."we're together"... Leone: I'M YOUR PARTNER for the occasion after all. Bruno (thinks): ..."I'm your partner"...

Bruno and Leone are kneeling on the deck of a ship. Two pirates are looming over them menacingly, only their silhouette is showing which looks suspiciously similar to our heroes.
On the top panel the Buccellati gang stands there, obviously confused. On the bottom panel two sets of bruabba staring down each other: one of Chelsea's pirates AU, and the other is my butler AU. Pirate Bruno holds a knife to his counterpart's throat.
They must have made peace because now captain Bruno happily announces: "By my authority as captain of this vessel, I hereby pronounce you wedded, laws of the land be damned! Now KISS, already!" He fires his pistols. In the front butlerverse Bruno and Leon lock hands.

Leone and Bruno look all dolled up. Leone looks flustered and annoyed, glancing over Bruno on his arm - who's dressed as a woman. TEXT L: Why am I the groom again? B: Did you want to be the bride? L: No Fucking Way! B: Then you should be grateful I took the role. Believe me, you don't want to be stuck with "Lady Narancia". L: ...thch, suppose I put on a brave face then. For the mission.

Leone is very dedicated to his role as Bruno's bodyguard. That means sometimes he needs to go undercover to follow him.
Lucky for him, he hasn't realised about his crush yet. :D
#bruabba #februabba2026 #februabba
Leone is dressed up in the most awful of mix if various cultures: Moroccan wedding gown. Indian, a maiko's kanzashi, a samurai's kataginu top and lots of jewellery. He's obviously embarrassed but does his best to look prideful and royal. Bruno says with a deep bow in a honey voice: "His Majesty, Rahi Avdol, the First Prince of Africa. He was exiled by his uncle after his father died. He will compensate you handsomely, should you choose to provide him with lodging for the night."

A sticker sheet with a dapple grey Andalusian mare in various playful poses. The text says: Year of the HONSE. Deliberately misspelled.
Children Bruno look distraught and leans close to Macaron, who's still a foal.
Macaron, a bit older licks 13 year old Bruno's face. Bruno squints but smiles. He holds Macaron close.
Adult Bruno hugs adult Macaron. A serene moment.

The drawing room gives home to the library, reading tables and a piano. Leone sits at one of the tables all flustered while Nara wants to touch his gift, a silk scarf. Mista is feeding his Pistols ( in this AU), Fugo is immersed in playing the piano with a serene expression and Bruno is munching on his cannoli in the background. He just looks like a hamster. The scene is drawn in a pinkish yellow colour scheme.

Bruno and Leone are in Bruno's baldachin bed. Leone is on his back in his underpants, looking smugly with a little flush on his face. His hands sneak under Bruno's shirt, rests on his thighs.

Leone has a deadline and his accidental self insert fanfic is not going great.
And yes, he's unaware that SF is Bruno. He's sort of irked by that masked vigilante treated as a hero. He doesn't believe in heroes (except Bruno :D)
