hello, i hope you're doing well, could i get headcanons of risotto, melone, and prosciutto with a young teammate, about high school age, who gets very attached to them, sticking around them often and always trying their best to be helpful and impress them? like the kid sorta admires them as a paternal figure. thank you!!!

[oh, and to be more specific about the young teammate attached to risotto, prosciutto, and melone, the teammate is attached to the point where when they feel unsure or nervous the first thing they do is look to the other for help or might even hold onto the corner of his clothes. hope that's ok to add ^^]

Risotto

- Risotto fully expects things like this to happen. As the leader, it only makes sense the kid would try their hardest to impress him above any other member. It only makes sense. They're just barely younger than he way when he first stepped into this dog-eat-dog world, Risotto knows it's an uphill battle trying to make a name for yourself and getting used to their new lifestyle.

- He doesn't let them cling to him nor does he want to encourage their behavior, but he rarely ever turns them away. He's not the most gentle guy in the world, but he does, at least, appreciates the help they want to offer. It's about time someone actually put in the effort to help with paper work and chores around this place. They're basically his secretary, transferring messages between the team members, bringing him coffee, etc.

Prosciutto

- Prosciutto is also another person newer members tend to stick to. He's reliable, responsible and seems relatively calm most of the time. He considers himself worthy of being a role model. He won't admit how much of an ego boost it is to have them stick to him.

- Like Risotto, he doesn't want to coddle them. Any attempt to grab onto him or seek comfort are usually met with a stern talking to. (He's not as physical with them as he is with Pesci given that he feels Pesci should be use to how things go by now). They're old enough to take care of themselves, but they have a lot to learn and he's more than willing to be their teacher. He will mold them into a mini him if given the opportunity.

Melone

- Melone is not the most socially graceful of the group, but he is surprisingly easy to talk to and get along with. He can be very down to earth despite how odd and eccentric he acts at times. Melone's flattered, but still finds it a little strange to be the one they picked to attach themselves to. He's never been the type to shy from getting attention, though, so he allows the kid to shadow him. Finally, someone with taste around here.

- He's the least harsh of the three, being the only one willing to actually comfort them. He doesn't really give the best advice when it's needed and can be a bit more dismissive than he means to be at time, but he tries.

[ss-wingman]

can I request Bucciarati, Risotto and Fugo catching their kids all dressed up in their clothes? Like the kid thought their were asleep and decided to dress up like them and pose like them in front of the mirror, Bucciarati's kid say things like ''Arrivederci!'', Risotto's kid says ''Mettallica put razors on him!'' and Fugo's kid says ''Narancia you need to study more!'' or something like that, pure dosmetic fluffliness!

Bruno

- Nothing caps off a long, busy day for Bruno like going home to his family. No day is too tough for him when he knows he has his s/o and their child to go home to.

- As soon as he enters his little home, he immediately spots the child perched on top of a chair is one of Bruno's old blazers, pretending to be him.

- He wants to laugh, but instead, he stays quiet and sneaks up behind them as best he can. Before they can spot him, he picks the kid up, playfully asking what they think they're doing. There are lots of giggles from the child as they try to escape their papa's hold.

- Bruno thinks this is just too adorable not to get a few pictures of, but first, he combs down their hair, braids it, and gives them a few clips in their hair. Now, they look just like him.

Risotto

- Risotto heard the rustling in his sleep but has learned to ignore little noises with his s/o and their kid wandering about the house. However, this noise is persistent. He peaks his eye open to see his kid trying to drag one of his old coats from the closet. Curious, he just lets it happen and watches what they're trying to do.

- The sight of his little one practically drowning in his way too long coat is something too precious to not crack a smile at. They can barely reach the shoulders of his sleeves, let alone lift the heavy leather material, but they're trying their hardest to move about and copy some of their dad's habits.

- Risotto can be unnaturally quiet for a man of his size, just standing there and watching the kiddo for a few seconds before they turn around and realize he's there. They're a little nervous and try to justify what they're doing, but Risotto just laughs it off and picks up his coat.

- They just wanna be like papa so much. They'll be just as big and just as strong and cool and will grow into it one day.

Fugo

- Fugo doesn't really like to be mimicked. He's so used to Narancia or even Mista mocking him, playing out one of his fits and burst of rage. BUT seeing his own little kid do it... there's something sweet about it.

- Somehow, they managed to sneak one of his older jackets – one that allowed the child to stick their arms out through the holes by the shoulders. They walk back and forth, pretending to teach some of their stuffed animals and waving around a ruler.

- He almost feels a little bad that they see him as someone who commands people around a lot – especially remembering how much he hated his parents for that kind of behavior – but, the kid explains happily about how much they look up to him. He's always nice and polite but knows how to make people listen to him. They want to be a leader like he is. To be someone people look up to the way they do him.

- It takes everything Fugo has not to lie down and cry. He needs a second. It's so sweet. They're so sweet. He hugs the kid and promises them they're going to blow the whole world away someday.

Can you do headcanons of Sorlato's reaction to their child dyeing their hair half black and half blonde, to match their hair color? Since the child is mostly adopted and they want to look like their fathers in a way

Sorbet and Gelato

- Sorbet and Gelato do their best to make their adopted child feel loved and welcome in their family.

- The child admires their parents so much. They're style, their confidence, the subtle hints of a darker past than they're letting on - the kid admires them just so much.

- Dying their hair is the kid's way of saying "I'm my dads' child, no matter what anyone says!" They wanted it to be a surprise so they simply asked their dads to leave them while they got their hair done because they want to feel like an adult, getting their hair done all by themselves.

- When the couple returns, they're both surprised to see how the dye job turned out. Split half black and light blonde, perfectly symmetrical.

- You know Gelato is in tears. It's too adorable. And they look so good with it. His baby. A fashion icon.

- As much as Sorbet wants to say "you didn't have to" he's too touched. It's so sweet. Normally he tends to pat their her at and ruffle their hair a lot - he enjoys doing that to everyone - he resists the temptation to because he doesn't want to mess it up.

- A thousand percent supportive if this is going to be their thing. Think very Cruella-esque visually. (Not a fan of the movie but I am all for the aesthetic.)

Not sure if requests are open but if they are can I request Bruno, Risotto, and Melone who’s child just went through a breakup and now they’re acting like a depressed mofo

Bruno

- Bruno is the biggest softy of these three and is the most sympathetic towards his poor child's plight. He knows that break-ups can be tough on people, but they'll power through.

- It hurts him not being able to just magically make it all go away. He tries to be positive and optimistic enough for both of them, without being too dismissive.

Risotto

- Risotto leaves the kid to their feelings for a while. H knows sometimes you just need to go through the motions before you can get back on your feet.

- Very much the 'no one hurt my kid' kind of dad and is not above intimating a teenager. Might make things worse if not careful.

Melone

- He's been through his share of break-ups. The first few are never easy. He's surprisingly good at talking them through their plight and encourages them to get back out there.

- He gives off the vibes of the kind of guy who suggests wearing something super revealing and flirting with other people in front of their ex to get back at them.

since asks are open may I request Prosciutto with a 7 year old daughter who thinks he's uncool until she sees his stand? she used to complain about him being strict and boring but then wants to see TGD all the time? thank you!

Prosciutto

- Prosciutto follows a very rigid lifestyle. He's a strict person with a particular image he likes to uphold. Even around his family, where he should be eh most comfortable, there are just some habits he can't help.

- His daughter – a free spirit by nature – doesn't get his behavior. Why does he have to be so stuffy and strict? Why are there so many rules? What's with the suits? Why does he never want to play? She made these feelings known, too, much to his annoyance.

- It's rare for Prosciutto to ever have The Grateful Dead out, especially at home, but a sudden crashing noise from the kitchen startled him awake. He was quick to de-summon the stand upon realizing it was just his daughter trying to sneak a few extra treats, but she had already seen it and immediately had so many question. Prosciutto ushered the curious child back to bed and hoped he could convince her she had just been dreaming.

- She didn't believe it.

- The following morning she was quick to question about the multi-eyed creature she saw. Any and all attempts to convince her it wasn't real flew right over her head. It was a test of endurance that Prosciutto lost. He rationalized that if she could already see stands then she may develop her own soon. He would have to have this conversation with her some day.

- Reluctantly, Prosciutto gave a very barest minimum of an explanation of his stand and what it meant. She seemed focused squarely on GD, excited as most as any child would be about a weird magical creatures and being able to summon one on a whim. Can it talk? Does it eat? Can she make one?

- GD is mostly still, carefully watching her movement with its many eyes. It's only when she leans to touch him that the stands moves away. Prosciutto reminds her how dangerous it is before once again de-summoning it. This was a mistake. But, maybe now that she's gotten it out of her system, they can move on.

- They don't.

- Prosciutto is very used to his daughter more or less ignoring him and whining and complaining about what a stiff he is and how she doesn't want to do chores. After meeting GD, though, her attitude has changed. She suddenly was all over him. She constantly asks about Grateful Dead. If she does all of her chores fast, can she see the stand again? Why not have it out all the time.

- It's a change of pace, and of course Prosciutto wants to please is daughter, but Grateful Dead is far too dangerous to let out as often as she would like him to. Prosciutto is steadfast in his refusal to summon Grateful Dead. He makes the mistake of promising that when she gets her own, she can see a stand all she likes, opening up an entirely new problem.

- When?! Well, now she HAS to figure out what hers is going to be. What if she already had one and doesn't even know it? She demands Prosciutto help her learn. As much as he doesn't want to, he figures it better than he be there to supervise her than have her figure things out on her own.

- At least they get to spend some quality time together.

Sorlato's reaction to their daughter dating Cioccolata's son? And if is not too much, can you do Cioccolata's reaction too?

Sorbet and Gelato

- How about a good, hardy "no"?

- Sorbet and Gelato are fine with their daughter dating. They have a very loose parenting style. There are few people in Italy more dangerous than them and, as she was growing up, most of the less than savory people got the message not to even try them. They worry still, as most parents do, but their daughter has quite a bit of freedom.

- Sorbet, especially, feels kids need to learn from their mistakes and is usually OK as long she hasn't done anything too dangerous. When she does, however, is when the switch is pulled and he's incredibly protective and nagging.

- Gelato tends to ler her off pretty easy, too, but isn't above about of spying and background checks. Gotta be careful, these days. You never know who's who.

- Hence why, when their daughter returns home from school one day, she's met with a side of her parents she'd never really seen.

- They sit her down and are very blunt about their feelings of her boyfriend, even though they haven't even met him yet. She tries to argue that they're being judgemental and unfair, but they tell her she has no idea just what she's dealing with.

- She's a very stubborn kid who doesn't take any half-assed, "because we said so" explanations and will still continue to see her lover of her own accord. What could they know about anything?

- There's a good chance they'll have to come clean about their true past; who they are and were and what his father had done to them. The pricey prosthetics Sorbet wears, the occasional coughing fit from Gelato if he does get his inhaler or medications, and a whole slew of other medical and emotional complications the two have dealt with over the years... All Cioccolata's fault and no one who associates with him can be trusted. Even if the kid is innocent, no way they're letting that man onto their lives in any way, shape or form.

- There's a lot of conflict for the poor girl. Its a whole lot to process and she's going to need some time.

Cioccolata

- Now, Cioccolata, on the other hand, would take delight in this little revelation. Is it really that surprising? This man lives to inflict pain and suffering in any way he can.

- As soon as he finds out, he makes a beeline to the Sorlato residence to talk it out. He pretends to have repented after his defeat and regrets what he did. He was just following orders, but he's still just so very sorry. And, even if they cant forgive him, they shouldn't take their feud out on the poor children.

- He's going to have as much fun with this as he can. He's good at trying to manipulate people and will do his best to mess with everyone' heads to the best of his ability.

For the anon who asked for pure fluff of papa Sorlato's kid coming out as bi. Accidentally deleted the request after writing . I'm so sorry, but here you go. Know that you are loved here <3 I am partially sure you specified daughter since she's popped up quite a bit around here, but I couldn't remember exactly so I just went with gender neutral. I will fix it if you ask.

Sorbet & Gelato

- You won't find a more accepting pair of parents in La Squadra to come out to. Any child of theirs should know this – that her parents love them, but they're still a little nervous and a bit conflicted. There's all the usual questions running through their head: Am I sure about this? Will they understand? Will they care? The like. Jittery and worried, they approach their fathers almost cautiously.

- As soon as the confession leaves the child's mouth, they're pulled into a tight hug, squeezed between the two of them.

- Both men have dealt with their share of prejudice growing up, but they've developed thick skin and have learned to ignore their negative comments and side glances – sometimes even daring anyone to try and say something. That being said, they know it's tough out there and would never want their child to feel what they used to. Alienation, isolation, invalidation – not in THEIR home.

- A huge weight is lifted off of the child's shoulders as they re embraced and their worries are eased by their parent's words of affirmation.

Can I ask for Risotto having a kid who turns out to be really frail by smart (maybe angst 🥺👉👈)

Risotto Nero

- 'Protective' is a word most people use to describe Risotto and for good reason. He rarely, if ever, lets anyone too close to him and those that he does he keeps under his careful watch. His allies know this, his s/o knows this, the family he keeps in contact with know this and his child – a rather small and frail child – especially knows this.

- Even as a baby, his kid wasn't very strong – the doctors worried that they would barely make it past infancy, but they pulled through.

- Risotto had hardly took his eye off of them as they spent extra time in the hospital. Or when they came home. Or as they grew up.

- They're weak, yes, but no less a plucky and bright kid. They excel in academics and are proud to have at least that to their name. More than once, though, Risotto's noticed a somber look on his kid's face as they watched other children run around and play in the park. He rarely likes to let them out much, so they end up being pretty sheltered.

- Since he can't be around all of the time, he bought them a mobility service dog to help keep them protected and assist them where it's need. And to be their friend. Needless to say that the two are inseparable.

- Their somewhat meek and frail nature has made them a target for bullying, but with a guy like Risotto as your dad, that doesn't last long. Whoever needs to be dealt with – parents, faculty and children alike – will be.
