Hey. Doesn’t seem like a bad match up at all. Where’d you wanna go for our first date anyway? I was thinking maybe somewhere a bit quiet… I don’t really like having a lot of people around. You ok with that?
> Oh! That would be lovely :) I’d be down to do that with you. Do we want to make it a picnic or something?
>I think making a picnic would be nice. Hm. Maybe some sandwiches would be good… oh maybe some sparkling water too and fruit… Maybe some cheese and crackers..

oh of course i get someone i think is terribly out of my league. well, he spoke first, so i shouldn’t just chicken out now.
> quiet’s nice! i would suggest going to the woods or something, but that’s a bit too quiet and sheltered for a first date. park at sunset/night, maybe?
La Squadra hcs for their S.O taking them camping?? This is entirely self indulgent as a guy who fucking loves camping
Woodland Adventures
La Squadra x Reader (GN), Romantic, SFW
Formaggio- He's always been okay with you leading the way in regards to your activities together, so he's happy to try any sort of getaway you are. He has no gripes with being dirty or out in the middle of nowhere, so you won't have to worry about any complaining from him. A word of advise though to warn him very clearly about touching random plants he finds in the woods. Otherwise, he will eat the mushrooms. If you want your boyfriend to come back alive, keep a close eye on him.
Illuso- Not particularly thrilled, as he'd much rather find a hotel somewhere, but he isn't going to refuse so long as you consent to his absolutely massive list of things he wants to take. He's low-key an introvert so you'd be surprised how well he takes to the quiet. No matter how safe the area you're going, Illuso will fantasise about defending you from a wild animal or some other threat. He'll teasingly remind you of this each night as you fall asleep in his arms, even as the slightest movement outside makes him flinch.
Prosciutto- The concept of camping is a foreign one for him, having grown up in a wealthy family where it simply wasn't considered. He is nonetheless surprisingly open to your offer of going together, since he enjoys new experiences and new places. This said, he would prefer to spend most of the trip in the immediate vicinity of the campsite, content to just sit around and rest rather than go exploring. You better pray to god it doesn't rain or Prosciutto will bitch about his clothes being ruined.
Pesci- Absolutely thrilled to be going on a trip like this. He hasn't had a proper getaway since joining the squad, and he could really use one. He is a huge fan of nature, and will immediately point out any interesting flora or fauna you encounter. Expect to come back to the campsite at one point to find he's made you a flower crown, and quite possibly a necklace and several bracelet to go with it. Overall, he'll be in a very good mood the whole time and a joy to be around.
Melone- You didn't expect it, but Melone is quite receptive to the idea of camping with you. He believes such an experience would be beneficial as it is good for couples to have time alone together every so often. However, he isn't particularly a fan of the lack of wifi, and would prefer to spend the bulk of the trip at the campsite just chatting with you. His favorite time is the night, in which he eagerly shows you the lesser known constellations, only visible here in the country where the city lights can't reach.
Ghiaccio- Unfortunately you're most likely going to have to drag him yourself, since Ghiaccio hates the idea of getting dirty (he's a mild germophobe) and being out in the middle of nowhere where anyone could attack. For the first few hours of the trip he pouts angrily in the car as you set up base, coming out only when he absolutely has to stretch his legs. By the next morning however, he will have silently come around. All in all, getting away from the team for a bit has done miracles for his stress.
Risotto- Very receptive to the idea. Whenever he was feeling down as a child, his grandmother would drive off into the wilderness with him and let him choose where they stopped for the night. When camping, you will find him a lot more open and whimsical than he typically seems at home. He will bring only the bare minimums, content to enjoy nothing more than his own thoughts and your company.
Sorbet and Gelato- Although they are both very eager to have this trip with you, don't be surprised if they treat it as a morbid survival exercise over anything else. In the days preceding they keep going on about all the wonderful ways you can die in the wilderness, at one point even jokingly (you hope) suggesting you try and murder the first person you find for fun. You have to make clear to them that for crying out loud this is not that kind of trip, and the best way to do this is mention how eager you are to sleep between their arms, nobody to bear witness except the stars.

[ID: a collection of excerpts of text.
..saying goodbye. yes, there is a place where someone loves you both before and after they learn what you are.”
“finally, in a low whisper, he said, “i think i might be a terrible person.” for a split second i believed him - i thought he was about to confess a crime, maybe a murder. then i realized that we all think we might be terrible people. but we only reveal this before asking someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.”
screaming take me as I am or kill me / screaming peel my skin off like a blindfold / screaming love me despite the horror / screaming please, God, love me because of it.
“show me your thorns and i’ll show you hands ready to bleed.”
“i don’t want your love unless you know i’m repulsive and love me as you know it”
People always think we look for love at our lowest to distract us. I am convinced we do it because we want someone to look us in the eye, to look our ugly in the eye and still choose us. I didn’t want a distraction, (highlighted) I wanted you to see a mess and still find me worthy of love, to tell me that you could still love me anyway. (end highlight)
“i kneel into a dream where i / am good & loved. i am good. / i am loved. my hands have made / some good mistakes. they can always / make better ones.
capitalized letters that look like they’ve been cut and pasted on top of overhead pictures of fields. it reads: “tell me every terrible thing you ever did / and let me love you anyway.”
love me. i am pitch black, / sinful, blind, confused. / but if not you, then who else / is going to love me?
“if you are intolerable, let me be the one to tolerate you,” i said, and then i kissed her and tasted the lemon juice on her lips.
“you have seen the rotten streak in me and you have come back, no matter how bad it was. you have always come back. can’t you see? you have taken me always as I am, no matter what.”
“i wish you wouldn’t look at me like that.” “like what?” “i don’t know,” she hesitated. “like you could love me.”
“i love you, and i am conscious of you all the time.”
in this space right here that we have made for each other, you can say anything and i will not abandon you. unwrap the worst things you have done. watch me hold them up to the light and not even flinch.
okay hot take i think the best date with ri.sotto would be camping because i feel like he doesn’t exactly like to be seen in public and we can just. hang out quietly in the woods for a weekend.... as much as i like down and dirty camping i feel like getting an actual cabin would be better for a date
Could you perhaps do hcs for La Squadra protecting their s/o from a stalker/abusive ex?? Or if you aren't comfortable with that, perhaps La Squadra hcs for comforting their s/o after such a relationship? Whatever's comfortable for you to do!!
Never Again
La Squadra x Reader (GN), Romantic, SFW, CW: past abuse
Formaggio- His first reaction to the news is profound sympathy. You’re his sunshine and he hates the thought of anything getting you down, let along threatening to harm a hair on your beautiful head. His main strategy will be to act as your moral support, making sure the awful bastard can’t put nearly as big a dent in your life as he wants to. Now, if shit gets serious, Formaggio isn’t afraid to step in. He wants the abuser to be hurt, but he also wants them humiliated. To get the best of both, he shrinks them down to the size of a beetle and forces them into a bottle, which he proudly displays on his kitchen counter. For an entire week, he is forced to watch as you and Formaggio live your best lives in the apartment around him. After that, he gets to go, provided he swears to never so much as look at you again. Even still, he’ll probably get a beatdown before he leaves. A parting gift to send him on his way.
Illuso- The revelation that your abusive ex is stalking you brings up a lot of soul searching within Illuso. He loves you, very much, and the feeling of rage that flares within him to know someone ever dared to mistreat you is by no means ambiguous to him. And yet, he can’t help but see every incident in which he belittles, teases, and genuinely holds his ego over you in a different light now. You were always so passive in how you responded. Could it be, you were afraid because of your past? For the first time in his life, Illuso reflects on his actions and feels disgust. No, he’s going to do better- he’s going to rid you of this vermin and make sure nobody ever makes you feel the way he made you. First of all, he makes it clear to the abuser at every opportunity that you’re in his care now, and there’s no chance of that ever changing. He pulls no stops in protecting you. Even when he has to leave for a mission, he shelters you in the mirror world of your bedroom, stocked with enough snacks and entertainment to comfort you until his return. If the abuser tries to break in while you’re there, well, it’s not like he could hurt you anyway, but that doesn’t mean Illuso won’t leave some booby traps for him to find instead.
Prosciutto- This man builds his life on concepts of allegiance, trust and chivalry. News of anyone being abused in an intimate relationship boils his blood, but when it happens to you… oh… your ex better say their prayers quickly. Prosciutto sees it as his mission, no, his duty, to eliminate the threat this stain on humanity poses to the world. With your permission, he’s more than happy to do that fatally. It wouldn’t be hard, you know. Passione might not treat the assassins well but they’re at least reliable enough to protect him from the legal consequences of murder at the drop of the hat. There’s no risk to either of you, and you’ll never have to see your ex’s face again. If you aren’t comfortable with taking things so far, Prosciutto insists you at least let him take some of the boys and give the bastard the beatdown of his lifetime. Make sure he knows whose protection you’re under.
Pesci- Acts without hesitation. Pesci has always been terrified by the thought of you getting hurt. Now, all he can think about at night is the possibility of getting a call in the morning from your sorrowful relatives, informing him that something terrible has happened. To prevent this, Pesci pleads with you to move in with him until this mess is over. He’ll even go as far as asking Risotto and Prosciutto to give him missions closer to home for the time being, so he can be there every night to protect you. Should the two of you ever encounter your abuser in public, Pesci will scowl at them immediately, and make crystal clear there’s no chance of him ever getting to hurt you while he’s around. We all know how dangerous Pesci can be when his heart is in it.
Melone- Well, if his love is being stalked, what better is there to do than stalk the stalker? Melone makes a hobby of following your ex around, holding no punches with the invasive, personal and downright creepy insults he languidly throws his way. His logic is simple- this man has caused you misery, therefore, Melone will make the act of causing you misery equally miserable for him. The abuser would have to have a very thick skin to keep the game up for more than a few weeks. Unfortunately however, Melone is hardly the physically strongest in the team and quickly earns himself a broken nose for his efforts. However, this turns out to be the worst mistake your ex could have made as Melone then calls in his teammates to take over some of the stalking shifts, and believe me, they don’t play as nice. You may be wondering where you are in all of this. Simply put, you’re at home, under the watchful protection of a powerful junior specially trained not to harm you. Melone wouldn’t be reckless after all.
Ghiaccio- You might think he’d fly off the handle immediately, and believe me, he wants to. But Ghiaccio knows that if he lets his temper control him then the collateral damage could put you in more danger than its worth. Instead, he gathers up all his savings and gets away with you for a few weeks, in the hope the stalker’s obsession will be gone by then. Even if it’s rushed, Ghiaccio will do what he can to make the excursion a time of healing for you, giving you all the love and reassurance he can. If, as is unfortunately quite likely with these sorts of people, the stalker is still after you when you return, Ghiaccio is going to throw all his inhibitions to the side. Whatever consequences may come, Ghiaccio will deal with them. All he knows is that he won’t let that bastard ever touch you again.
Risotto- The first time you ever see Risotto look truly distressed is the day you tell him your ex was abusive and is now after you. His eyes are averted, lip bitten. His body starts to shake. Composing himself, Risotto stoops down to your height and, brushing your tears away, swears by his honour as a man that you are going to be okay. He will not allow anything bad to happen to you. Risotto’s suggestion is that you deal with this problem immediately so that you do not have to live in fear. Provided you feel confident enough to go through with it, he proposes that you confront the abuser with him at your side, invisible through Metallica. If things become violent, he will intervene. Even if not, do not think risotto is leaving you to deal with this yourself. As soon as the moment presents itself Risotto will lunge at your ex and bind his limbs with Metallica, leaving him utterly at your mercies. After that, you decide where the abuser ends up. It could be a stitching clinic, it could be the bottom of a river.
Sorbet and Gelato- It’s my personal headcanon that Sorbet himself has been on the receiving end of an abusive relationship, and hence has a very intimate understanding of what you’re going through. Gelato, while never having been abused in a romantic context, is also familiar with the general concept of being treated by shit. Point is, they’re going to do everything in their power to give you a better support network than anyone ever gave them. Like Pesci, they’ll be adamant you move in with them if you haven’t already. While there, they’ll lavish you with affection to help with your emotional situation, as they know how bad abuse can be on your mental state even once you’re safe and free. As for your abuser, his fate will be slow, but certain. They will gradually move up from humiliation tactics to increasingly intense acts of violence and destruction. No matter what he does, he isn’t making it stop. Sorbet and Gelato have gotten away with far worse than this after all.
