no requests yet… (dramatic sigh)… im starving here… the light keeps flickering... but i refuse to die down here so early on !!1!! /j
Teammates: Bought Risotto an expensive watch ONCE. When he first dropped into the team, because he was grateful. The most anyone else is getting ever is takeout and he's going to eat most of it himself because he ordered it, duh.
Crush: He's a complicated guy with unresolved issues. He gets his crushes imitation jewellery (idk why this sounds so negative in English, but I just mean cheaper metals or fake stones). The thing is, he also has gifted these to certain prostitutes, to cute girls at cafes he saw repeatedly… But he swears you are special! Those are just his plans B, C, D, E... If you never notice this fun fact, he's actually not half-bad at picking these and you can tell he put some thought into it. He tries to match your colors or style.
Partner: Corny gifts you'd see in a movie like a bouquet of roses, a giant plushie and such. Feel free to shove in here whatever you want. He's a simple man, you can even get him to buy you something specific if you show him the right movie.
Teammates: I don't see him going past buying them drinks. The type of guy who puffs out his chest with a smirk and covers the next round of drinks. In terms of gifts, it's not even a gift. But his teammates can appreciate the gesture. Formaggio and Sorbet especially.
Crush: He's not the type to invest in someone that's not secured yet. His ego is fragile and, if he got rejected in the end, he wouldn't want to have ""wasted"" money on top of it. Right before asking you out he gets you flowers or perfume, probably.
Partner: On special occasions. Mostly jewelry, usually related to him in some way (the colors he wears often or highly reflective crystals/stones). He feels immense pride when you wear them, and the cocky smirk won't leave his face. He can also steal pretty easily using his Stand. He'll pretend he buys everything, though.
Teammates: No. They are annoying and they already have to split money on top of it* (he appreciates his team and his pride extends to them as a whole, he just doesn't think that his personal money is worth sharing; that's not the dynamic that they have). They're getting at most a bottle of wine if they do very veeeery good on a particular month/hit because he gets all hyped up.
Crush: More of a gesture type of guy. If it comes down to gifts he buys you pastries or tickets to things (ex. movies) you can do together. I think if you reject whatever initial gift he makes you he gives up immediately, but if you appreciate it he will get you stuff once a week and hand it to you in a very nonchalant way (this also means he won't take long before asking you out very directly).
Partner: Maybe asks others for advice (and by others this means exclusively Melone and Prosciutto because the others "can't gift for shit"). Otherwise, whatever you ask for. Like, when you pass by a shop and exclaim that you like some shoes in particular, maybe you get those shoes a few weeks later. He'll just keep quiet and come back to get them later.
Teammates: Another no. Tech is expensive, he's spending his money on himself. Melone likes his teammates, but he keeps this sort of inside wall that prevents him from bonding as much as he can (I still have to think about his feelings, because his reaction to the Prosciutto and Pesci fiasco was little to none). Not even to Risotto. It doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy their company though, it's nothing personal.
Crush: Secret admirer type gifts. He knows more about you than you know about yourself. They're (usually) not expensive, but they are always pretty or useful. Also buys you replacements: a perfume you ran out off or clothes that you ruined on a mission. If he can't find the exact thing without asking you, he'll get as close as possible. If you accept them positively face-to-face, he'll even consult you from them onwards. If you get upset, he will still buy these things, leaving them in your room or bag before you can snap at him. Worst case scenario, if you throw them away and he notices, he's just going to think you're stupid for choosing to waste your own money over accepting a gift, and keep going as usual.
Partner: What you just read but branching out into more expensive gifts. You also unlock self-care items and personal picks, such as things that he enjoys on you. His colors, his recommendations, and so on.
Teammates: Don't accept their gifts. All we know about them is that they keep to themselves and that Sorbet is serious about money. If they ever made a genuine gift it was probably towards Risotto and to make up for something. If they make a gift out of nowhere, they know not to take it. That's a future debt they're going to nag them about until they repay them.
Crush: They know what to gift each other. I fell for pixiv propaganda so you can imagine the gifts (ex. weapons, unsavory items, pet accesories). As for someone else? Thoughtful gifts! Genuine gifts that have been researched, like a bracelet that matches your eyes or whatever. This is a lose/lose situation because, if you accept them, read above. They'll also point out when you wear the gifts, out loud, to the whole team, to add more pressure when the time to ask for favors comes. If you don't accept them, they'll fake being offended and use this as an excuse to terrorize you for a while. Eventually they'll get bored. Until the next gift.
Partner: Actual, non-superficial gifts. Handcarvings, art pieces, various gestures. Depends on who is the giver. They have a mind of their own and they don't always communicate, so sometimes they don't coordinate the gift-giving very well (count on Gelato to get each and every important date wrong). But they are good, unique gifts.
Teammates: He makes actual gifts and "rage gifts". He's the closest to a traditional mafia-man, so he will either gift things to teammates he is (on rare occasion) very proud of or a really good month earnings-wise. As for the rage-gifts, they mostly go this way: he gets frustrated at everyone else being sloppy slobs and ends up fixing what he dislikes out of his own money. They're mafiosi, for fucks sake, they should try to look respectable! Now he's mad and broke which makes him even more irritated.
Crush: Traditional gifts like flowers, chocolates, all that. It's kind of a mix of Formaggio and Illuso's approach. He doesn't want to waste his money, so the gifts don't start until he's sure you at least might like him. As for the gifts, they're not super corny because he's more mature, but he's not above buying you plushies if that's what you seem to be into.
Partner: Luxury items, popular brands. Things he feels proud of when you wear them next to him. He's broke though, so it takes him a while to gather the funds in between gifts, but he knows what he's doing.
Teammates: Not the time to dissect it but I think he often ends up being a doormat for the team, so I don't see him buying them gifts other than to repay Prosciutto. He also gets asked to lend money a lot (not the time to dissect it), and Formaggio/Illuso/Gelato/Sorbet even MELONE never return it. He's bitter about it, but the idea of asking Risotto to deduct it from their payment makes him feel like a snitch. So no.
Crush: Asks everyone for advice. Read Prosciutto for an educated guess. He might end up listening to Formaggio's advice behind Prosciutto's, because he seems to be the one who gets along easier with women.
Partner: Takes you out and lets you choose. Sounds boring, but when he pays for your stuff and you get to go shopping, it makes you both happy. He doesn't have to second guess himself and you know for a fact you will like whatever you get. If not, he buys simple rings and/or necklaces so you don't have to ever take them off.
Teammates: As a leader, he has to be strict. They're all grown men, so he doesn't think he has to buy them anything to congratulate a job well-done. It's their job. They either do it well or they don't get paid. Occasionally, he can try to raise morale by buying them drinks or whatever, but I can't imagine him making personalised gifts. When he compliments them genuinely it feels like a gift, anyway.
Crush: Mm. I don't know how to feel. I think he is a ride-or-die type of man. He's going to ask his crush out before he gifts them anything, probably. I think his gifts would be meaningful in a way a crush is not ready for. He is not one to just date around, and he's not going to make gifts to one-night stands that he is not invested in.
Partner: If you made it here, congrats. You want a necklace, you got it. You want a dead man, you got it too. Perceptive as he is, if he notices your gaze lingering on something, he will do his best to get it one way or another. Matching tattoos (TASTEFUL ONES) and other body modifications are also on the table and heavily encouraged. Nothing too flashy though (ex. a super expensive car), you have to keep a low enough profile to not become a person of interest. But, if you want the inside of your apartment to be filled with luxuries, or to parade a luxury bag every now and then, just ask.
