Bodyguard Crimson and his Boss, Alessio, are in the backseat of their limo after a long day of meetings and mafia shenanigans. Crim states with a smile, ‘Long day, eh, boss?’, to which Alessio responds with a muttered ‘Mm-hmm’ and then dozes off.
Crimson watches his boss fall asleep with a soft look as hearts appear next to him, signifying his feelings towards the other man.
Crim notices the hearts, and in a panic, grabs them out of the air and shoves them into his mouth (a metaphor for repressing his feelings).
The movement wakes Alessio, who groggily asks ‘Whaz… (what’s-)?” Crimson’s cover story is that he ate a bug, but in saying so, his true feelings slip out.
Crim: ‘N-nothing, sir. Just a…a bug.’
In a pink cloud with hearts: ‘I adore you <3’
Crimson freezes, covering his mouth with his hands. A little skull and crossbones pops up above his head, as he thinks he’s made a major faux pas. But in response, Alessio just responds with a nonchalant, ‘Oh, yeah?’, a small smile creeping onto his face as he does so.
Crimson panics, reaching for the door handle, trying to extricate himself from the situation. Alessio reaches over and grabs him by the back of the shirt.
Alessio: Do not throw yourself out a moving vehicle, scemacchiotto.
Note: I do not speak Italian. I think I cobbled together a word that means ‘little idiot (affectionate)’
