Hello!! this is my first request, kinda nervous icl...
Anyways! For the request could it be something along the lines of Bucci gang (separate) x self destructive/critical!reader?
essentially a comfort headcannon fic where maybe reader holds themselves in quite high regards and when almost failing missions easily gets frustrated with themselves and maybe neglect basic needs like eating out of their own self directed frustration and the characters comfort them.
if you don't feel comfortable writing any of this then pls feel free to ignore!!
Bucci gang x self-destructive/critical reader
After a slightly botched mission, even though it went well, you hole up on your own and neglect yourself to seemingly no end.
I didn't want to take anymore time delaying this, so I didn't get to write for Trish, I hope you're okay with that! And I hope you're okay with the way I chose to write this (^^ゞ
Just because you’re not supposed to be on the clock doesn’t mean Bucciarati isn’t worried for you. He notices your absence and wonders if you’re even taking care of yourself.
He knocks on your door, calls out your name, and breaks in if you don’t open up.
You could be embarrassed being seen by your capo this way, but he’s too worried about you to care.
He takes you out to a nice restaurant, even if you don’t fit in and aren’t dressed fancy.
While eating, he talks to you about all the good things you did.
He recounts in a very objective way what you did right, and slowly adds in his own genuine praises.
After your next mission, good or bad, he doesn’t wait to be alone with you. He tells you in front of everyone that you did a good job and that he’s proud of you.
The others might get a little confused as to why he’s only praising you, but they don’t disagree. It’s a bit unprofessional of him, but affirming you is more important than anything else at the moment.
If he’s the boss in this scenario, he’s tempted to send someone to check on you, but he’d rather check on you himself. The risk of going himself is bad, but he does it anyway.
If he’s a newbie, he probably uses his free time to spy outside your place, wondering why you haven’t left in a while or turned your lights on.
He doesn’t need powers to get into your place, he probably finds a way to get a copy of your key scarily easy.
I think it’d be funny if he got your key somehow, tried unlocking your door but your door is already carelessly left unlocked, so he’s just confused like wtf ??? trying to open it LMAO
uhh after a little while of struggling, he either gets in or you just open it for him and he’s all “😶” the aura loss is crazy
He didn’t really plan this part so he just starts asking if you’ve been okay.
I think it’d be hard to tell him about your issues straight up, but he’s definitely there for you.
He listens to you and lets you go on about your worries. Once you’re done explaining what needs to be said, he pulls you in and gives you a hug. And while you’re in his arms, he softly tells you not to destroy yourself, and that you’ve been doing well.
He might not be able to keep eyes on you all the time, so he makes sure that whenever you go out, people treat you kindly, people give you extra scoops of ice cream, and flowers blossom wherever you go.
Time flies after the mission and he doesn’t think too much of it tbh. He’s bored one day and he’ll think of people to bother, and then he realizes he hasn’t seen you in a hot minute.
He brings over takeout so you have a reason to come out, he knocks on your door, probably saying stupid stuff like, “Are you alive?” And almost thinks you got robbed or something when he sees you.
He quickly forces you to eat the takeout, even if he doesn’t know you’re starving, and keeps staring at you, wondering what the hell happened???
He’s too dense to figure out what happened on his own, but he’s not THAT dense, so once you make one self-deprecating comment, he goes, “Ohhhhh… But the mission was fine, what’s up?”
He's trying to remember what could’ve happened, but any mistakes you made were definitely not Narancia-level bad, nor was the number 4 involved at any point in time (trust me, he made sure.), so if you mention something you did wrong, he immediately defends you without even thinking.
It’s frustrating and validating. You really didn’t do anything wrong.
He gives you a hug and a pat on the head before he leaves, and he makes sure to come back.
Like a fly that keeps following you, he won’t go away!
When you’re on a mission together, you feel closer, but he never mentions your struggles in front of the others.
He goes the extra mile during tough missions for success, keeping in mind how you’d feel if things went horribly.
After a success, completely out of shape, he puts an arm over your shoulders, going, “You really saved my back!” And it’s true. Keeping you in mind, he was able to do outstandingly good, almost as good as you.
He busts open your door to show you something cool, and freaks out when he sees your ragged self. - He’s so loud and frantic that lowkey gotta get up and tell him to calm down, which gets you out of bed at least.
He tries to help clean up, but he sucks at cleaning, so you have to help him.
He leaves for like an hour and a half to get groceries, but ends up just buying a bunch of random stuff. Then he tries to cook, and you’ll have to stop him before he can burn down the kitchen.
He tries to be wise like Bucciarati, “Your body is a temple…” But he forgets what to say mid-sentence.
He sucks at helping, but he tries to keep things lighthearted with you. He comes over for a wellness checkup, but disguises it as him trying to show off some airplane model, and yaps your ear off for so long that he loses the plot.
He’s not the best at comfort, but he wants you to be okay.
Next time you go on a mission, he’s scared to mess up because he doesn’t want you to worry again. You end up saving him in a tight spot and he gives you a breathtaking hug. Seriously, he’s got some strength surprisingly.
He goes up to Bucciarati, all “We did pretty good out there, right?” Until Bucciarati agrees. Then he looks at you with sparkles in his eyes. You did pretty good yourself.
He tries not to act shocked, but he definitely is.
He becomes 10 times quieter because everything he usually says comes out rude and sarcastic.
Being a heavy drinker, his first instinct is to put any bottles you have lying around into the recycling.
He orders some food, and while you eat, he sits in silence with you wondering what to do.
He settles on talking you out of destroying yourself. His voice is so deep and smooth that in the moment, it’s hard not to get distracted.
But keeping up with his words, he makes it sound like you being better is all for the good of the team, when he really does just care about you.
“Nothing is ever worth hurting yourself,” speaking like a true hypocrite, “not even a failed mission.”
The next time he instinctually grabs a wine bottle, he stops to think about you, and puts it down. Save the alcohol for celebrations, not for failures.
that being said, after a successful mission, he begins to drink again. Narancia notices, “I haven’t seen you drink in a while, Abbacchio, I was starting to think you quit!”
“It’s different now,” Abbacchio smiles ever so slightly, “tonight’s a celebration. Because the mission was a clean success.”
Narancia takes that as an excuse to act childish, Mista doesn’t believe it but follows with the celebration, and Abbacchio wants to stop smiling to stick it to them, but he can’t because of how your doe-like stare from across the room.
He also gets frustrated when a mission has failed, or even if it succeeded but was a mess, so he understands where you’re coming from.
Forgive him, he might have the urge to call you stupid for this. He doesn’t mean to!!!
He just believes you’re above this, that you’re too smart to be acting this way. Only someone stupid would do something like starve themselves, right?
You're not stupid though. You just need help. Once he realizes that, he does his best to help you out even though he knows it’s not really his business.
This guy is so extra, he’s cleaning your whole place and organizing your stuff. PLEASE stop him before he goes through things you don’t want him to see.
He comes back over every now and then to check up on you, always with food or a snack. He’s like a mom, constantly criticizing you for the sake of your health, but it is out of concern.
