2P!ItalyXReader You in My Eyes

You’re like a flower, a rose to be exact. You’re a beauty and attract people surround you.

Luciano looked at (name) as he swung his knife in in his hand. Just like another day, it was considered peace in the group. It was just a day after a nice fight with another group, a party. Food and drinks were served, though he just drank his wine. He leaned on the wall, holding his wine glass. His eyes never left her figure during the whole party.

She was there, talking with the others. Her aura seemed to always attract people. Every man in this mafia group liked her. Since she first came to the group, Luciano had his eyes on her already. She had beautiful long (h/c) hair like silk, a pair of wonderful (e/c) eyes and all in all, she was attractive.

(name) turned around and her eyes made contact with Luciano’s. Although Luciano remained calm on the outside, his inside were actually … well, was it what you called happy? Or was it desire? Every time they made eyes contact, Luciano always got a very strange feeling. (name) just waved her hand at him and smiled before her other friend approached her.

Luciano finished his wine and went somewhere else, leaving the party. He went outside.

“Where are you going, dear brother~?”

Luciano turned his body, just to see his brother, Flavio.

“Fuck off, bastard. I do what I fucking want.”

Flavio smiled and said, “Don’t you want to adore (name)’s beauty longer?”

Luciano just glared at him but he didn’t reply anything to his brother. Instead he turned around and was about to walk again when Flavio said something, “If you don’t hurry, someone will capture her… such as me…”

As soon as the last words came out from Flavio’s mouth, a knife flew pass his head’s side and stabbed the wall behind Flavio. Silence came between the two. Flavio still had his sweet smile on his face despite what happened.

“Don’t you dare…” Luciano growled in a low and small voice as he glared at his brother.

Flavio shrugged, “I don’t know… She’s too beautiful to be left alone.”

Before Luciano sent another knife, Flavio lifted his hands, “Bu~t, I’ll support you, dear fratello. Just to let you know, she is a tough woman.” And with that he turned around and went back to the party. Luciano, however, thought of what his brother said, which was true. Inside that beauty, was a beast.

Thus you’re dangerous, just like a rose with its thorns.

“Hmm, let’s eat~” (name) said as she set her rifle, aiming her target. The group was having a fight with another mafia group. (name) was a long-distance killer. With her rifle, she aimed and shot her target right on the head or heart. In the group, (name) was also famous with her skill. Even Luciano approved of her.

When she locked her target, she pulled the trigger and shot. “Twelve~” she sang.

Suddenly she heard someone sneaking behind her. She quickly turned around and shot down a man. But there were still five of them. (name) shot three more and she was out of bullets. “Damn!”

(name) didn’t have bullets or pistols anymore. She stood and looked at the two men who were targeting her with their knives. (name) stepped backward slowly until the end of the building. “Hehh, nowhere to run,” one man said.

Hearing that, (name) smirked, “I don’t see it like that.”

“Huh?”

(name) turned around and jumped, landing gracefully and started to run to where her group was fighting. The men chased her and got her edged. She pushed herself to the wall, seeking an opening from the two.

“Now, this is the time…” the man said and they charged at her.

When the men came, they aimed for her neck from both side. (name) crouched, making the two missed. She smiled and took her hidden knives from her boots and stabbed them right on the heart. Both of them vomited blood and shortly after, they fell to the ground, dead.

“Heh, do not underestimate women, you trash,” she spat.

“You succeed again, ragazza.”

(name) lifted her head to see her boss, Luciano, was standing. “It’s thanks to you, boss. If it’s not because of you, I’d be a goner,” she smiled.

Luciano didn’t say anything and walked to the group, followed by (name). This was one of what attracted Luciano. (name) was so skillful. She was calm and collected. She mustered pistols and also knives. She was not like other women. She is special, especially to Luciano’s eyes.

However, I can’t believe that you wither this fast. Too fast…

Luciano brought (name)’s body to his arms, hugging her slightly. She was injured on her back and she lost lots of blood. Her skin was starting to pale and cold.

“Aahh… I can’t believe it…” (name) said, almost whispering, “Maybe, I’m too confident with my skills.”

“Ragazza, no more talk…” Luciano said. He held (name)’s bloody hand and press it to his cheek.

Seeing his action, she just smiled weakly and ignoring his order, “But, it’s worth… that you aren’t killed.”

(name) was injured in this fight, not because of her recklessness. She fought like always. She won her battles and was going back to where her group gathered. She walked with no worries to her group but then she saw a shadow. She looked up and saw a man with a rifle in his hands, aiming someone in the group, which she assumed was Luciano, the boss.

Without any second thought, she ran to Luciano and tackled him to the ground as the bullet pierced her back. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Luciano also fell to the ground, but unwounded. He looked at (name) then to the rifle man. He was boiled with anger, but before he could throw his knife, the man was killed. He looked around and saw his brother did that. Then he quickly went to get (name).

“I’m… so sorry… to leave you right now. I have no regret… in serving you, Luciano,” she uttered. After she said that, she felt something warm fell to her cheeks and she looked to Luciano’s face. It’s something (name) never saw from Luciano, tears. Luciano suddenly hugged her, putting his head on her shoulder. (name) was shocked when he did that.

“(name)… Ti amo… Ti amo,” Luciano uttered.

(name) could feel that his body was shaking as he said that. For goodness’s sake, (name) was so shocked when she heard that. Not only because she had hoped this dream to be true, but also because she shared the same feeling.

(name) wrapped her arms around his neck and replied, “I.. love you too, Luciano. Thank… you…”

With that, (name)’s hug loosened and Luciano couldn’t hear her breath again. Luciano tightened his hug, didn’t say anything. He felt sad, angry, and pathetic. Sad because he lost the person he cared the most, angry because she was killed and pathetic… for he couldn’t protect her and be protected instead. His body trembled that because of him, (name) died… leaving him.

The air became tense. No one dared to speak or even to do something until Flavio approached Luciano and tapped his shoulder.

“Come on, if the boss is shaken then how about our group?” he started.

Luciano didn’t respond.

“Luci, it’s not just you who feel sorrow of losing her. We all do.”

Still he didn’t respond.

“Fratello, (name) will not want you to mourn her death like this. She had high hopes for you, for our group. So, please…”

There was silence for a while before Luciano finally spoke.

“I know. I know it.”

Luciano hugged her for the last time and released her body. “I know what my responsibility is.” Luciano then walked, leaving the area. His bangs covered top-half of his face in shadow. Flavio and the others then followed him.

The rose, living so beautifully on earth, yet was dangerous because of its sharp thorns. No matter how it was, however, it withered and fell to the earth.

“This is what I must bear… as a boss of the Mafia.”

That’s how you were in my eyes.
