The beginning of something that will change your life

»↠ ≈☆≈ ↞

You were standing in front of the handsome blond man you've just saved, but... You don't recognize the place at all. You were so focused on saving this person's life that you completely missed the fact that you woke up in a place that looked.. weird? It wasn't looking like a place you've ever been too and most importantly it wasn't your room! It was some kind of big, unusual mansion but you were sure you've never seen it. How did you end up in there?

While you were looking around, the man you saved approached you

" " (Thank you, what's your name?) He said.

To say that you were shocked is an understimation; you were shocked, confused and panicking. What language was even that? Probably it wasn't any of the languages you knew, not even one you've ever heard. Where the hell were you?!

"" (Hello?) He almost yelled, clearly loosing his patience.

"" You told him, but that clearly was a mistake.

With that sentence only you alarmed this man so much he started to eye you and back off, but when he saw your scared and confused face he calmed down a little bit. Both of you were so puzzled which meant you both were harmless, or at least you two wouldn't attack each other since if it was otherwise, one of you would've attacked already.

"" (Who are you?) He asked while you're still looking around trying to figure out what bullshit is going on.

"" you mumbled, hoping that this stranger asked for your name.

"" he purred before getting closer to you and taking your hand.

You finally understood what language he was speaking, it was latin, you've studied it for a bit but gave up on it because you didn't really like it, but now you have finally recognized it. Who the hell speaks latin in 2020?! You started hoping that all of that was a dream or a weird prank a friend was pulling on you, but deep in heart you knew that both of these options were unlikely to be real. Maybe it was some kind of magic? Maybe destiny? You didn't know and couldn't even imagine, all you were thinking about was how to get home.

"" (My name is Giorno) this man says, interrupting you from your thoughts.

You simply nodded, not knowing how to form a proper answer like "nice to meet you" in latin and you fully understood that speaking english at the moment is completely useless.

This man, Giorno, took you to another room while eyeing your clothing. At this point you realised what he was wearing: a toga; while you were with some normal nowadays clothing: sweatpants, a black turtleneck and some adidas shoes. Now it was all coming together; now you understood why you were too hot, now you got why Giorno was speaking latin and you realised where you were : Ancient Rome. How did you get there was still a mystery, but you started to come to a lot of things and that already was a big plus.

The boy took you to a room which was... Full of people! You've never expected something like this, moreover, when you two entered, both of you were greeted by an "Ave!" yelled by each person that was there. Needless to say you were freezed, speechless.

Meanwhile Giorno called a girl from the room and started talking to her, not leaving your side. It looked like he was giving her some orders and as soon as he finished the girl left in a hurry. All the others came in front of you and the blond man, waiting and looking at him in the eye, probably expecting some orders as well. They actually received what they wanted: Giorno started saying something in a powerful tone and all the servants went to do whatever they were ordered to do.

You immediately understood that you must've saved someone really important, but oh boy you were not even close to guessing this man's status!

As soon as the room became empty, Giorno made you take a sit on a wooden stool

"" (Where are you from?) He asked, looking way friendlier than before

"" You hummed, trying to remember at least some of the latin words you've studied.

That answer made the guy frown a bit, you two couldn't understand each other and therefore you couldn't conversate. Truth is, he really wanted to get to know you. Not only you were his saviour, but you were also very pretty in his eyes and the fact that he didn't speak your language made him upset.

"" (I'm from Y/C) you happily said, glad at the fact that your brain could still work well and there was no lack of memory.

But how the hell were you going to explain that your country doesn't exist yet and that you come from the future? Thinking about that, what if Giorno thinks you're someone evil, someone to be feared? Would it lead to your death? You felt chills on your spine, this was a pretty dangerous situation where everything depended on the will of Giorno.

"" (Y/C? Where is it?) He looked very confused, but willing to listen and to understand.

This is where the trouble came, you had no clue of what to answer so you only managed to slowly mumble an answer you wouldn't believe yourself if you were him

"" you said, looking down, hoping that the latin for future was similar to english.

"" (FUTURE??! What? I don't believe..) he yelled, obviously shocked at your answer.

You were mentally facepalming because you shouldn't have said that, but what was the correct answer here? There wasn't any.

"" (You too?) He whispered, not scared, not upset, but just extremely surprised. It was not a happy nor sad surprise, it's that emotion that you feel when you can't believe in a happening which is real and you're not sure whether it's good or not. This is what Giorno was feeling.

Too bad that you didn't remember the meaning of quoque and not even "Tu quoque Brute fili mi", the notorious sentence Ceaser told his son when the latter betrayed and killed him, was something you remembered. You just let it go, thinking that it was another strange expression to "unbelievable" in latin. Girl, were you wrong...

Suddenly, Giorno yelled "Mista!Narancia!" and two boys arrived; they started talking so quickly that you couldn't even figure out some words they were saying, all you knew is that at some point of the conversation they all turned to you, letting you understand what they were talking about. You finally stood up, not knowing what to do, and Giorno went to you, followed by the two men. Unexpectedly, he started caressing your cheek and looking in your eyes with an expression so difficult to explain! Affection? Lust? What was that man doing and why? Then he stopped and left, glancing at you one last time and nodding at the two boys.

Again, you felt chills forming on your body. You were so anxious about the whole situation and you didn't want to die, but the impredictable actions of these romans made you crazily paranoid.

"" the taller boy spoke pointing at himself.

"" the boy said pointing at the other one.

"" you unsurely answered, nodding at them.

The two started walking towards another room and the short boy, Narancia, started gesturing to you to follow them and so you did. They weren't forcing you or being rude so they shouldn't harm you was all you were thinking about. Needless to say, you were correct!

The three of you arrived in a room that looked very comfortable, especially counting the period, and Narancia started playing mime. He pointed at you, then at the big bed in the end of the room and finally he showed the representation of a sleeping person, making you understand that this was the room you could sleep in. Good thing they weren't speaking latin! As intelligent as they are, they understood you wouldn't understand them anyways, or maybe Giorno simply told them to show you things instead of describing them.

"" you said, now with a little more confidence.

The two men smiled and left the room, glancing at you and waving. Maybe your stay here won't be as bad as you imagined.
