❛   enma  ...  !  you  came  over  !   ❜        his  smile  slight  but   genuine   ,  he  approaches  ,  taking  a  seat  next  to  the  redhead  .        ❛   did  you  wait  too  long  ?  i  ended  up  staying  over  at  their  house  for  dinner  ,  i’m  sorry  .  do  you  -  um  .  do  you  want  something  …  ?  like  a   drink   ,  or  …   ❜

“ ah ! no it’s okay ! ”  enma waves his hands frantically. “ i didn’t wait long at all. thank you for ... for having me. uh , how did it go ? the dinner , that is. ”  enma still struggled on his interpersonal skills when relating to mafia bosses. although he was one himself , the simon famiglia’s power was still rather small compared to the others in their network. he found himself stumbling over his words more often than not. “ i could go for a drink. thank you , tsuna-kun. ”

GAWKING at the rag-tag bunch of felines flooding their feet , it’s clear from their insistent mews that the timid teen is a regular visitor . Dino crouches , attempting to coax an undernourished stray to eat from his hand , fingertips moist with bits of tuna juice . It’s understandably reluctant to approach at first , so he smacks his lips together , and is pleased when the kissing sounds seem to do the trick !

❝ Well , even the mean ones deserve a bit of love sometimes , right ? ❞

❝ Have you named any of them ? ❞

@gravityburnt continued from x

maroon eyes watch with muted interest as the cavallone boss made peace with the stray.  enma’s mouth dropped open slightly.  it took him weeks ( weeks ! ) for him to no longer be scratched up by feline.  he was a little jealous.  his lips pulled into a frown. the cat in his arms mews quietly and he scratches behind its ear. 

“  ah , ”  he twitches , a bit. not expecting the conversation to continue.  he should be better at this. skin warms red , clashing with his hair color. “  yeah i . . . yeah. they’re kinda lame though. but uh . . . if you still wanna hear them. i can share. ”

‘ can i hug you? ’

another  death  .  another  assassination  .  another  untimely  funeral  .        the  voice  behind  his  ear  is   unusually   quiet  ,  dulled  by  the  heaviness  growing  prominent  in  tsuna’s  abdomen  ,  inviting  nausea  .  it’s  just   right   after  ,   and  it  finds  tsuna  held  back  at  the  doors  of  the  church  ,  the  memory  of  the  coffin  being  lowered  ceremoniously  into  the  ground  forever   imprinted   in  his  mind  .   another  death  .   he  shuts  his  eyes  .   another  assassination  .   he  swallows  down  the  thick  lump  trapped  in  his  throat  .   how  many  is  that  now  ?         

the  sound  of  enma’s  voice  snaps  him  back  into  the  present  ,        and  it’s  then  that  he’s  reminded  of  the  fact  that  he’d  come  along  .  he’d  come  with  tsuna  to  pay  his  respects  the  family  of  a  man  he’d  most  likely  never  even   seen   ,  let  alone  met  .        ❛   enma  …  ?  what  do  you  …   ❜        his  voice  is  staggered  by  the   tightness   in  his  chest  ,  grief  dominating  his  heart  despite  the  redhead’s   relieving   presence  .       ❛   i  -  i  …   ❜        say  something  .  say  something  .  say  something  .      ❛   i’m  really  okay  …  honest  .   ❜       it’s  unconvincing  ,  but  he’s  not   going   for  conviction  ,  an  attempt  at  a  smile  flickering  out  after  a  mere  several  seconds  .       ❛   you’d  be  better  off  offering  it  to  his  widow  and  child  .  i’m  not  the  one  whose  husband  and  father  died  …  he  was  scheduled  to   retire soon   ,  you  know  ?   ❜        the  ghost  of  a  smile turns  jaded  ,  twisting  into    malcontent   ,  gaze  focused  on  the  wife’s  tear  -  streaked  face  .        

❛   he  was  one  of  nono’s  .  seventy  years  old  this  year  .        we’d  celebrated  his  birthday  not  even two  months  ago  :  pulled  out  the   good   champagne  and  everything  .  he  was  going  to  stay  for  a  few  more  years  ,  but  i   insisted   on  the  retirement  because  of  his  daughter’s  pregnancy  .  i  wanted  to  let  him  meet  his  grandkid  with  a  light  heart  ,  you  know  ?  i  should’ve   never   let  him  take  on  that  mission  .  i  should’ve   known   better  .  he  was   so  happy   when  he  heard  he  was  becoming  a  grandpa  ,  and  now  …   jesus  christ   .   ❜        he  brings  a  hand  up  to  his  face  ,  thumb  and  index  pressing  against  his  lids  ,  shoulder  knocking  against  enma’s  .   another  untimely  funeral   . 

his  words  thick  with  unshed  tears  ,  he  steps  away  .       ❛   i’m  going  .  i  can’t  keep  standing  here  .  i’ll  …  probably  drive  the  two  of  them  home  after  this  ;  make  sure  they’re  safe  and  everything  .  thank  you  for  coming  .  i  don’t  think  you  even   knew   him  …  meet  me  at  the  manor  later  tonight  ?  we  can  hang  out  .   ❜        @gravityburnt​

@mafianti how pure ... 

[gravityburnt-blog]

📺 for our muses to have a TV/movie night.

he was terribly excited , if such joy showed on his face. his lips tremored. threatening smiles too awkward to display fully. he shuffled into the living room in his pjs , bottoms still too big on him.  even in all these years , as they’ve grown and gotten stronger , such prospects of hanging out with his famiglia in normal situations never failed to make earthquakes go off in his heart. 

enma pads over to the couch when he plops down , hair no longer long enough to cover his eyes.  he wiggles his toes against the carpet and side glances to koyo. “ thank you for the invite.  i’m ... really excited , hehe.  what movie are are we gonna watch ? ” @forestfoc

Send 🐩 to play with my muse’s pet (or have my muse play with yours).

“ uh so ... these are the cats i feed. sometimes. ” a lot. everyday before and after school , actually.  enma holds on in his lap , scratching behind its ear.  she purrs and he feels his heart melt down to the wire. “ they’re really nice ... uh except the white one. he can be kinda mean. but , if you feed them they’ll warm up to you. so ... yeah. ” @broncodino

“aw come on !! there must be something that makes you laugh!!”

he gives this some consideration , blinking. “ memes and cat videos. ”

lmao i’ll talk about how people can FUCK OFF with their misconceptions about enma as well. it won’t be long ( well it might i like to ramble ) but. anyways. while enma is timid and also very socially awkward he is also INCREDIBLY BRUTAL and CHOSEN as leader of the simon famiglia for a reason. 

his famiglia was persecuted and chased and terrorized by other mafiosos for years. he lost his family to ACTS OF VIOLENCE. you really think that shit doesn’t change a person ? enma is very capable of being brutal. he is just as apathetic and uncaring as he is soft , comical , and warm. he doesn’t CHOOSE TO BE BRUTAL ALL THE TIME. 

but when it’s necessary ? when violence and war are the only options ? it’s very , very easy and quick for him to turn on that switch and turn off his emotions to get the job done.  

he can be cruel. but he doesn’t want to be. tye enma just really wants to be left and alone and do his own thing and be with his fam. tyl enma grows a bit differently. he now wants to restore his famigilia into a greater strength , a larger power. to help their allies the vongola but also so they never have to face persecution again ^_^

this is enma’s face when he’s surrounded by cats? ^_^ 

[gravityburnt-blog]

Enma: *is faced with a distressing situation*

brain: *shuts down*

Enma: no maybe we should actually deal with this

brain: ✔️read 7:26pm

[gravityburnt-blog]

he holds up the cat by its belly , covering his face.  the cat , doesn’t know what’s going on.  enma , trying his best , makes the cat wave one of its paws. “ hello. ” nailed it. @sfidar
