Comic page snippet. Aya sitting Tomoko down and apprising her. She likes what she sees. Tomoko demands her to make her be able to impress EVERYONE.
Pushing my Tomoko x Aya agenda here. The sketch is ready to read for the Appetiser Tier. :3
Tomoko is opening her shop and wants to make an impression. But maybe her idea and Aya's, about what beauty means differ. :D

We see a similar position than at the duel. Leone leans over Bruno, who laces his arms over Leone's neck this time. Leone is flustered beyond belief, almost looks scared. Bruno: Like what you see? This panel is from Leone's point of view, Bruno's hair is fanned out on the ground, his forehead is showing, making him look younger. Bruno (smiles, eyes half closed eyes, murmurs): Don’t you want to kiss me?
Leone is leaning close in flustered reverence. Bruno's smug, seductive expression remains the same. Then a sudden THUD, and Leone finds himself on the ground, fell out of his bed. Of course this was a dream. He's panting, worked up and frustrated.
BONUS [4/4]
⚜️ #ButlerAU ⚜️
Now Abbacchio have to deal with his overactive imagination and vivid dreams. He's NOT amused!

They both froze in mid motion, wide eyed. Suddenly very aware of their incriminating position, Leone leaning over Bruno, Bruno's legs framing his hips. Bruno: I– Suddenly Leone gets yanked back by his ponytail – Macaron, Bruno's beloved Andalusian mare is behind his back, casually chomped down on it. Narancia (riding Macaron): Yo. Macaron and the ladies need the paddock.
Leone is flushed, possibly both from the scare and his previous incriminating situation with Bruno. Leone (shouting): Narancia! Don't sneak up on people! Narancia gets off Macaron's back. He's completely unfazed. Nara: Are you deaf, or what? I brought the whole herd. We see four other horses in the background. At this moment Macaron decided to return for another bite on Leone's pony tale. Bruno is fighting a chuckle. Leone gets up, flustered and angry, he dusts his trousers. Leone: If you'll excuse me. Bruno (turns towards Macaron who licks his face): Good morning, Princess. Slept well? Bruno cuddles close to Macaron's muzzle, hugging her. Flush paints his cheeks as he risks a glance to the departing Leone.
Duel [3/4]
⚜️ #ButlerAU ⚜️
Ooops, Bruno made it gay after all. :D
Macaron for the rescue~
She heard "hair", made a chomp on it. If Bruno likes it must be good, right?
(I took hours of research on horses for the herd in BG XD)
#bruabba #Februabba #Februabba2026 #fancomic #ForbiddenForeheadFriday
Bruno brings Leone down with him, throwing his legs around Leone's head in the process.
Bruno got Leone in a headlock between his thighs. Bruno (grinning): Got you! Leone: nggg He taps out on Bruno's butt. Once he's free, he stays, looming over Bruno. They are both panting. Leone (grinning): You cheated. Bruno (grins back): I didn't bite. Leone: This wasn't Savate. Bruno: I improved it.
Leone: In other words, you cheated. Bruno: I won fair and square. Leone: Hah, I bet you've never fought fair in your life! Bruno (pretends offense): Always with the baseless accusation~ Leone: (amused, his hair in the ponytail sways at the side of his face): Tch, your theatrics are getting worse. Bruno (mesmerised by Leone's hair, reaches up): And your hair is getting long.
Duel [2/4]
⚜️ #ButlerAU ⚜️
I used visual references of wrestling for the head lock. It's not gay. Not even tapping out on one's butt. This is just being professional and effective. :3
#bruabba #Februabba #Februabba2026 #fancomic #ForbiddenForeheadFriday
Person B: AGAIN! Person A: *ngh* Where does this stamina comes from? We cut to the paddock next to the stable. B: Are you tired? A: Have I not earned the right? We've been at it for at least half an hour. Person B: I want to get you, at least once! Close up: Buccellati's and Abbacchio's coats are draped over the fence. A: ...... Fine! Last round. But no biting. B: Spoilsport. A: BRUNO! B: Alright, alright. No biting. A: Thank you!
Bruno and Leone face each other in a showdown. Abba is in his coat but Bruno has only a shirt on (which counts as an underwear in this era. :D) Bruno kicks high in Leone's face, but Leone blocks smugly and makes a grab for his ankle.
While Leone drops Bruno swiftly on the ground, he compliments him, smirking: Your form is getting better. But your moves are too rigid. Bruno (wipes his face, angry): Again!! Leone: We agreed this was the last round. Bruno: I haven't tapped out, yet. Leone: Ugh, fine! But I won't go easy on you. Bruno: Didn't ask you to.
Speed lines make the scene more dramatic. Bruno looks especially determined. He tries the same kick as before. Leone (smirk): You're getting sloppier. But then Bruno grabs the arm that's meant to send him on the ground. Leone's face on the last panel says "oh shit!"

The palette is light green and purple. Leone scorns behind his shoulder, squinting at Bruno who lays on a couch, deep in some mental task, papers scattered around him on the floor. He only wears a shirt, stockings and a banyan (robe). His thighs peek out from under it.

Leone thinks Bruno should show some decency. Bruno thinks Leone should have not invaded the privacy of his room where he will do whatever he pleases. Get used to it or get out~

Leone lays his head in Bruno's lap. He's bare chested, some bruises and bandages show that he had a rough day. Bruno holds one of his hand, caresses his father with the other. Some black clothes are scattered around.

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

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!!!

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".

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.

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.

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".

"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...

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 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 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

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."
