May I ask for some cute fluffy headcanons and relationship ones for Vanno? I really loved your Frate ones. I love him and Vanno so much QwQ/. I also wish you good luck on your blog and to keep up the good work. :>
tysm for ur kind words‼︎(╹◡╹)♡ and im glad u enjoyed my frate headcanon soup lol (the frate bias really jumped out with it)
and fUCK YEAH i love me some vanno too, so without further ado, vanno headcanons babey!!!!
( vanno clemente - fluff headcanons. )
vanno was pretty good with children; he loved children and children loved him back! i mean, he knew how to cook, he knew how to juggle, and he was big and strong and (most likely) very comfortable to hug. in fact, he actually did want a child of his own someday, but he didn’t like talking about this certain dream; after all, being a high-ranking subordinate in the vanetti family meant he had to keep up that intimidating image he had.
surprisingly, he knew how to weave flower crowns and arrange bouquets. this was because when he was younger, he would make flower crowns and/or bouquets for fio as little gifts. he started out rather clumsily and his flower crowns came out lopsided and uneven, but he eventually got the hang of it. he made a lot of flower crowns for fio. she still kept some of them, even when the flowers were already wilting.
he, too, wrote love letters to fio, but unlike the flower crowns and bouquets, he never gave them to her and instead kept them away in a box for safekeeping. they spanned from childhood to adulthood, resulting in a lot of letters. only nero knew about this.
he used to be close to frate. when they were children, frate thought of him as another big brother of his and would tag along with him and nero; when frate was getting bullied by neighborhood boys, vanno and nero were always there to rough them up; whenever frate cried, vanno would juggle just to make him laugh again. when they grew older, they all naturally drifted apart (except for vanno and nero) but vanno never understood why.
he had been appointed as the family’s “taste-tester” at a young age, and he actually ended up developing a critic’s tongue. as a result, he was harshly criticizing when it came to other people’s dishes and was fussy over following his family’s recipes to a t; nero just gave up and ended up designating him as their unofficial “cook”.
where the other men turned to smoking or drinking to de-stress, vanno turned to cooking; when he abstained from drinking, he decided that cooking was a safer way to relieve stress. the scent of the herbs and spices would calm him down and bring back memories of him as a young boy, waiting to sample his nonna’s next dish.
one of his most prized possessions was his nonna’s old and battered cookbook, and he proudly displayed it on a high place where everyone saw it, alongside a framed picture of his nonna.
tbh, it’d take some time for vanno to process his feelings. like most of his life, his first love has been fio, and he’d only been truly in love with her so far; so when he catches actual feelings (that aren’t fleeting attractions) for someone else, he’d be thrown in for a loop.
once he does process it though, you can bet that he’ll do an old-fashioned way of courting you. think flowers, compliments, a few suave words here or there. nero and his friends would most likely act as his wingman at some point. once you’re dating, he’ll still carry on with that good ol’ traditional romance.
expect some surprises; it’s been said that vanno enjoys watching other people’s reactions, so he would most likely try to surprise you here or there just to see your reaction to it. usually through unexpected gifts or gestures. sometimes pranks.
speaking of gestures, he loves affection, especially hugs! he just enjoys how his arms can just envelop you. if you’re shorter, he’d most likely place his chin on your head; if you’re taller, he’d rest it on your shoulder. either way, hugging you is pretty much his other favorite way to relieve stress now.
vanno would spoil you so much; not in a way where he’d buy you anything you want (i mean, maybe he would, if persuaded enough), but more in a way where he’d take good care of you—if you haven’t eaten, he’d cook for you and make sure you eat more. if you’re tired, he’d carry you.
he’s a pretty affectionate person, but he’s lowkey embarrassed by pda; of course he doesn’t mind holding hands, or sharing a few kisses in public—in fact, those serve to show that you’re, yes, his (s/o) and that whoever has the idea to lay on the moves on you should back off, but if you sat on his lap or kissed him longer than a few seconds where everyone can see, he would blush and implore you to save it for later in private. especially since his friends would tease him for it.
he’s pretty protective. his job and his ties has earned him quite a few enemies so he’d want to be around you most of the time, or at least have someone to keep an eye on you whenever he’s not around. he secretly worries that someone with a vendetta would use you as a tool against him, or worse, hurt you.
he gets jealous easily. his jealousy is akin to that of a child’s—he gets huffy, sometimes pouty. a telltale sign of his jealousy is him eating a lot (think the wedding episode, where he was just plain out shoving cake slices in his mouth). give him a few kisses and affection and he’ll ease up a step, though he’ll still be lowkey annoyed at the person he’s jealous of.
the type to buy you a promise ring. someday, he’d like to get married, but wouldn’t force you into the idea of course. so instead, he’ll get you a promise ring. whether you two get married or not, the ring serves as a promise to stay together for many, many years.
sorry for the delay, thank you for requesting!
