OK, how’s this for FAHC Fredo’s charm – the crew’s had some run-ins and conflict with a rival gang that wants in on their turf and the rival leader kidnaps Alfredo and holds him hostage to lure the FAHC. The crew are terrified for their friend so they gear up for a rescue mission and charge in their guns ready…only to find that Alfredo’s charmed the entire crew to his side. They stopped with the hostage stuff, gave him dinner and are hanging off his every word (1/2, sorry this got a bit long)
2/2 They find him surrounded by the whole crew, all smiling, half of them wanna be his best friend, the other half are in love with him. The FAHC are flabbergasted, Alfredo just happily announces he's made some new friends. The rival crew leader's especially smitten and lets Fredo go without a fight in exchange for a kiss on the cheek. The best part? Fredo says he can get them to provide backup or resources for the fakes if they need them, all it would take is a dinner date. The gang war is over
you’re absolutely killing me here because this has gotta be a fake AH crew vs fakehaus scenario, right??? like,
they kidnap alfredo for shits and gigs bc they’ve been arguing around turf for a few weeks and it’s all good fun, nothing serious, maybe some property damage and some plan-foiling
and then they take fredo, their newest addition because they’re like “eh, a rookie, maybe the weakest link” and fakehaus just plans to put him in some room somewhere and not even pay attention to him, really. offer him takeout maybe. but by the time fake AH rolls up ready to fully shoot a member of fakehaus (not lethally, although ryan has to be talked down from it because they took alfredo), the crew’s full on bantering with him around their living room table. they have a few pizzas around, they’re playing a board game, alfredo is making everyone smile. the most smitten with him is elyse, who demands they make up their own secret handshake which is a mess but they end up giggling too much to finish it anyway. the kiss on the cheek fredo gives her is free of charge.
that’s when fake AH knows, irrevocably, that they made a great choice in keeping fredo around. concrete proof is that fakehaus cooperates with them more from then on (mostly because elyse and alfredo text on the reg. they cute)
