Gio’s known he was bi since a very young age, and his first partner was definitely a boy about the same age as him when he was in his early teens. He first started noticing himself getting crushes younger than that.
He’ll pour on the charm with anybody regardless of romantic interest in them because he very much wants to be liked and flirting was the first way he learned to accomplish that. He’s well aware that he can be a lot to handle due to his poor communication skills and tendency to fall for the other person hard and almost immediately, though, and has had it backfire on him enough that he’s been trying to tone that down.
Poly relationships would appeal to him if they were discussed upfront and agreed upon by everyone involved, but unless that’s the case he only ever has one partner at a time whether or not they do.
((AS LONG AS I’M TALKING SHIPPING ON CAT, I SHOULD TALK SHIPPING HERE TOO))
So haha oh my god holy shit is Gio ever prone to making romantic mistakes. He has a severe fear of being alone, fragile self-esteem, latches onto others easily, and a tendency to not speak up about his feelings when he’s hurt.
This version of him is actually getting a little bit better about Not Doing That, but it’s very slow progress. He definitely recognizes that he’s been in some very toxic, unhealthy situations and is trying to avoid attaching himself to people who trample all over his heart intentionally or unintentionally. He’s still fragile, though, and bad at turning others down, although he’s started actually working up the nerve to talk about his emotions from time to time.
A good relationship for him would be one where he was happy, healthy, and with a good communicator who knew him well enough to try and talk stuff through when he tries to avoid having actual conversations about feelings.
Although the perfect ship is Gio/realizing he doesn’t need to be in a relationship to be happy and that his worth isn’t based on what other people think about him
THAT SAID I DO REALLY LIKE TALKING ABOUT HIM DATING/RPING CUTE INTERACTIONS WITH HIM AND OTHER CHARACTERS/ETC. so people should definitely hit me up to talk about that stuff sometime and also to talk about Gio and non-romantic relationships
“Are you going to let me see how it’s healed up or not?”
“You’re not my doctor, you’re my boyfriend. So, no.” Gio winced. “It isn’t...nice to look at. Unlike the rest of me.”
“I can play doctor and boyfriend. Come on.” Casey scrunched up his nose. “I haven’t seen you since you were first laid up. Your sister told me you weren’t seeing anyone and threatened to punch me.”
“...ffffine. Bene! Great! Just stop making that face at me.” Gio shuffled awkwardly to his feet and tugged the side of his shirt up. Casey held out a couple fingers and looked up; Gio slowly nodded.
He reached the rest of the way out and gingerly ran his fingers along the jagged, fresh scar tissue. “That actually doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would, all things considered.”
Gio let out an irritated whine from the back of his throat and dropped his shirt back down. “What are you talking about? It takes up half my torso.”
“Are you kidding me? Not half. More like a quarter.” Casey clicked his tongue dismissively. “In my medical opinion, that’s what you get for bringing a knife to a Ripper fight. You’re lucky that you weren’t skewered all the way through.”
“Yes, yes. That’s me. Luckiest bastard alive, getting run through by a raider.” Gio smiled thinly and reached for a cigarette; Casey frowned and raised an eyebrow.
“...really? A few weeks after being at death’s door and you’re still not going to quit?”
“Casey, Casey, Casey.” Gio’s grin widened, “I’d think by now you’d know me better than that, with all the time we’ve spent together.”
“Yeah, silly me, expecting the guy who ran into a chainsaw to care about your health. Augh.” Casey buried his face in his hand.
((Sooooooo with current events in the RP with Trader and Gautier, I thought it might be nice to (finally) actually post a playlist for them!
You can find it here.
A lot of the songs on it are ones we’ve used for thread titles before, and I’ve associated them with the two of them since then. Most just really fit them. For maximum effect with the current thread, though, I recommend blaring Johnny Guitar. B)
These two mean a lot to me for a lot of reasons, and I’m really happy and flattered that this horrible family unit has punched a few other people in the gut emotionally as hard as they have me.))
He’d be incredibly skeptical but also more than a little scared of them. Buuuuut, the fact he’s already heard a little about the casino from layla-granville way back during the RP where he got mugged (since she told him the story to distract him while he got patched up) would go a long way towards making him believe it actually exists. Layla didn’t name drop it, but he could probably patch the details together and would ask her to confirm that he was right if he was really that curious about it.))
Wh...why do you gotta know that, huh? I don’t have to tell you nothing, geez!
2. What is your real name?
Fiiiiine. [Crosses his arms.] It’s Gautier.
((His full name is actually Humbert Gautier but he hates his first name so much because it’s terrible that he just goes by his surname.))

I GUESS my dad said something once about naming me after my grandpa. Not that I ever met the guy or anything.
4. Are you single or taken?
The hell does that mean? What’s a single? Taken where?
((He does know a certain baby Fiend with a crush on him but has zero concept of dating and is at an age he thinks everyone is icky. So. Yeah.))
5. Have any abilities or powers?

O...of course I do! I got legions of adoring fans everywhere! ‘Cause I’m awesome as shit!
22. What are you afraid of?
N-n...nothing. I ain’t afraid of anything!
((Getting hurt, being helpless, not finding enough to eat, doctors, energy weapons, robots, anyone acting threatening or suspicious, people who are bigger than him, people getting close to him and accidentally replacing his dead parents, abandonment.))
23. What do you usually wear?
I got these cool goggles I took off a body I wear all the time and a bag and a coat. I used to wear a hat, but I got sick of it.

Me, myself, and I.

I always wanted to eat one but I never found any. I’ve seen pictures and junk, though. They’re sweet, right?

Nuka Cola, I guess. It’s sweet and shit. I like sweet things.

There’s this one building I sleep in sometimes that’s real high and full of the best hiding places and I guess it’s real comfortable to sleep in.

That sounds stupid. Water’s full of dangerous crap.
35. What’s your type?

37. Seme or uke?
