Guess we're just gonna have to have a competition of who's the real asshole here. [SPOILERS IT IS ABBACCHIO. But then, he's never shy about that, so you know.
He squeezes Avdol's hand.]
You won't disappoint me. You're fucking handsome, and I don't know anything about Egyptian fashion but I wanna see what you put together. [He reaches up, idly playing with Avdol's ponytail.] I'm gonna like it.
I am good at exactly two things: making tea and looking good, so I can't really hold back on the second one.
Leone. [Affectionate, amused, exasperated.] In my observations, and I watch you as closely as is socially acceptable, rest assured, you're good at plenty.
Most of them just aren't things that we can discuss in civilised company. [RIMSHOT. And he looks so smug about it, too.] But in all seriousness, even if you are good at many things, not all of which involve emotionally compromising me, I have no doubt that you are amazing at those two things in particular.
...Which only makes me equal parts anxious and incredibly eager for the date, to be honest! It'll be nice to do something...normal, I guess. Something that doesn't involve mortal peril. Just me trying to not throw up on myself while I wait for you to answer the door, probably. So...Thank you for this. For saying yes. I know we're going to have a great time, no matter what, and I'll have to go home at a ridiculous hour and face either Polnareff or the chickens judging me for my walk of shame.
Shit, you're not the only one that's gonna be nervous. [Lightly tugs on his ponytail. But like, an affectionate one, not a mean one.] Maybe you should bring a barf bag, huh?
[Seriously, though, it'll be nice to do something kinda normal for a change! No stupid Stand battles or hijinks, theoretically. Just a nice night out with a handsome man.]
You could you could always stay over. If you wanted.
[LOOK THEY FUCKED MORE THAN THEY BEEN ON DATES, IT'S AN APPROPRIATE JOKE. ...He still deserves that little ponytail-tug though, and damn if he doesn't know it and chuckle as his head tips back all the same.]
I'll bring a bucket, just in case we get our second wind halfway through. What if I start panicking as I think about whether or not to kiss you at your doorste--
[OH. oh. oh! oh wow, h. give him a second he's.
SOMEHOW THIS IS FLUSTER MATERIAL??????] Ah.
I. Think I'd like that, if your roommate wouldn't mind.
[Will he ever get tired of this casual kiss thieving system they have going on? Definitely not; even now, it's enough to make him switch from embarrassed at the idea of ~staying the night in while Narancia's possibly there~ to absolutely overjoyed, virtually radiant with simple happiness as he presses in and enthusiastically returns the kiss as much as he can.
What can he say? He's a sucker for affection, especially when doled out by his favourite person on this planet full of wonderful people.] What if I care about what he thinks? I'm meant to be his dance teacher, you know! It's a rare position where I might actually be worthy of respect!
[That does not sound at all convincing when delivered through chuckles, sir.] Clearly we're going to have to let him veto all shows of affection between us while he's around. Or-- It wouldn't actually bother him, would it? I didn't actually consider that, hah.
I have no idea. Between the two of us, Narancia's always been the more affectionate one anyway. It's not like I dated anyone around him before.
[at worst he'll probably just act like a kid and go "ew cooties" but like whatever]
I mean. I am trying to be considerate and not bother him much. Other than when we try to crank our music at each other. [Step one: he stopped bringing random guys over when Narancia moved in! Step two: definitely going to stop those random one night stands now, no regret tbh.] Even if he's a fucking brat. It'll probably be fine, though.
[how does he even broach the topic of "hey i have a boyfriend deal with it" to the gang? he probably won't! it's not their business and he isn't sure how to share happier shit with them! egads!]
...Maybe I'll just have to be on my best behaviour while I'm visiting you two, then. I'm sure he won't actually mind, but I don't want to make things awkward for you or him just because it's incredibly hard to not kiss you.
[Case in point: more kisses stolen! A few dotted around Abbacchio's mouth before the last one lingers right on the bullseye.] ...You know, it really does sound like you're family. Brothers, at least to me. That must be nice. I definitely don't want to ruin something so precious, so I'll let you handle it in your own time and fashion.
Besides. If you did let me break it to him, I'd probably do it without any decorum. 'Hello Narancia, lovely to see you, why yes I'm dating Leone and we have kissed several times and will probably embarrass you by doing so several more times in the future!' Don't think that would go down so great, do you?
You won't embarrass me, and if it embarrasses him I'm gonna just want to kiss you more. But I guess I can wait.
[YEAH. KISSES. This definitely pleases Abbacchio.] It's fine. Neither of us have had much in the way of family before except people who passed away. That goes for all of us that Bucciarati got together. [And he does love them a lot, but he has to be tsundere about it.] I kind of ended up adopting Reimi too, but I guess that's no surprise.
Hey, I wouldn't be any better about it. I'd probably say something like "I'm seeing Mohammed Avdol and if you don't like it you can piss right off." At least you're nicer about it.

I don't give a fuck what Narancia minds, you can kiss me.
[And guess what, he's gonna lean up and go to steal a kiss RIGHT FUCKINGGG NOW.]
