bad day

[infezione]

[Fuck's sake.

Pannacotta had already been in a bit of a sour mood upon waking up and that did not get better. Everything that could go wrong did, Mista and Narancia had chosen today to be particularly irritating, and to top it all off, there was an... unfortunate run-in with people Pannacotta would have rather not seen again.

So it's no surprise that after all of that, Pannacotta has simply retreated. There's only one person he'd be okay with seeing right now and said person is working at the moment. So. Alone it is.

(Pannacotta doesn't know that Bucciarati had immediately sought Giorno out in order to take over Giorno's duties for the evening.)]

[esperienzadoro]

[The second Bucciarati comes in and takes over his duties, Giorno knows what's happened and where he's needed.

So knock knock, Panni.]

[infezione]

[There's a bit of a delay before he opens the door, but once he does it doesn't take long for his sour look to turn into one of surprise, and then a smile (if a somewhat weak one).]

Cuore mio, you're done for today?

[esperienzadoro]

Bucciarati said he'd handle everything today.

[A kiss.]

Was today that bad?

[infezione]

[He returns the kiss, then nods in response to the question, letting his head drop onto Giorno's shoulder.]

Yeah, definitely that bad.

[esperienzadoro]

Then why don't I run you a bath? We can figure out if we're eating with the others later.

[infezione]

[Pannacotta already has one thought on that matter, but... yeah, bath first. He lifts his head and nods.]

Yeah, sounds good.

[esperienzadoro]

[So does Giorno but one step at a time.]

Come on, let's run that bath. Do you want to talk about it?

[infezione]

[He'll just go ahead and take Giorno's hand as he heads for the bathroom.]

Maybe in a bit. Not right now though.

[esperienzadoro]

Alright.

[Thankfully they have an en suite, so soon enough Giorno is getting the water hot and finding Panni's soaps and shampoos and stripping his boyfriend. He'll do everything, if Panni doesn't stop him.]

[infezione]

[And despite some half-hearted protests, Pannacotta doesn't actually stop him. Pannacotta does give Giorno a kiss, though.]

[esperienzadoro]

This isn't too much, is it?

[infezione]

No, it's not. I appreciate it.

[Another kiss.]

... Join me?

[esperienzadoro]

Join you, or sit outside of the tub so I can wash your hair?

[infezione]

[A beat, as he considers this.]

... There's nothing stopping you from washing my hair if you joined me?

[esperienzadoro]

...true. Alright, you in first. I need to undo my braid.

[infezione]

Alright.

[He'll carefully lower himself in, then, shifting so he can watch Giorno.]

[esperienzadoro]

[Giorno's hair is always a bit of a problem, with the curls and everything. He undoes his braid only to redo it and pin it up out of the way of the water, since he has special shampoo he uses and doesn't have it in the tub. Once that's done, though, he strips and joins Panni, promptly pulling him into a hug.]

There we go.

[infezione]

[He sighs happily as he wraps his arms around Giorno and leans against him.]

Perfect.

[esperienzadoro]

Good.

[Giorno holds Panni for a little before reaching for the soap.]

What do we want to do for dinner tonight? Takeout?

[infezione]

[Pannacotta closes his eyes, humming thoughtfully.]

... Yeah, takeout sounds good. That place we ordered from last time, maybe?

[esperienzadoro]

That sounds good. The same as last time, for you? Or something new?

[infezione]

Same as last time, I think. Let's try one of their desserts this time, too.

[esperienzadoro]

Chocolate? Oh, or they had a chocolate strawberry cake I think...

[infezione]

Ah, that's right, they did... let's get the chocolate strawberry cake.
