You and Giorno started walking around the market place, where there was a much bigger crowd than usually. Of course! Today was a special day, where populations from other parts came in order to trade and sell goods. You found new people from all over Europe, northern Africa and even from the middle East! All of them were selling stuff that was present in their places, but that were not frequent in Rome, together with typical food, clothes and toys.

It kind of recalled the bazars and markets from your world, but all mixed together and 'a bit' less modern.

"So, if you don't mind, i'd like to talk about something a bit more private. We're already comfortable with each other for these topics, right?" Giorno asked you as observing some scandinavian products

"Sure Giorno, what do you want to know?" you shrugged it off, thinking about being asked of some school stuff or something similar

"Did you have a boyfriend in your world?" he said, turning his head towards you so that he could see your expression, which you tried to hide. But you were surprised, a lot.

"Khmm" you slightly coughed "no, i didn't" you answered while covering your slight blush

"Oh and how so? You're such a beautiful girl" the blond flirted to what you groaned

"Ugh, don't say that. A relationship is not just about looking beautiful" you answered a bit more harshly than you thought, but Giorno just nodded and added

"I agree. See? You're not only beautiful but also smart. And don't deny it, let me compliment you" he continued flirting, making you even more red in the face

"And what about you? How so you still don't have a girlfriend or wife or whatever?" You smirked after seeing how the guy blushed at your words. It looked like a competition, who could make the opponent flustered the most

"Well, i was just waiting to meet the one. My ideal type, you know" he told you while looking dreamily at the sky, as if the one was up there

"And what's your ideal type?" You slyly said, while closing the distance between you two

"You. You are" he said, looking right at you. Now he wasn't smirking anymore, he was genuinely smiling with some lovesick looking eyes.

You couldn't even answer properly, you could never expect something like this to come up.

Already? He didn't know you that well, but you already were his ideal. Was he even telling the truth or was he just playing?

"I know you don't feel the same... but-" he got interrupted by you

"Nonono, it's not that. I just.. didn't expect you to say that. That's all" you hurriedly said and looked away to hide your blush yet again

"So you like me?" he turned your head so that you two could look at each other

"Girl it's too early, you don't know him at all. Remember, Bruno said that he got aggressive. Don't do it, don't-"

"I- i think so" you answered with a small smile on your face. You fell for him, for his trap and now all the responsibility for the actions made for your relationship was on you.

After you words, Giorno just closed the distance between your faces and and rubbed his nose with yours while cupping your face in his hands, on which you then put your own hands.

You stayed like that for a few moments and then continued your visit to the fair, while holding hands.

Congrats!! Apparently you're now in a relationship with the Emperor!

✧ ✯ ✧ ✯

After a few hours, you two headed back to the mansion. It was getting quite late and you didn't forget about the appointment with Bruno you had that day.

"Thank you for today, it was very nice" your new boyfriend lovingly said as you two were in front of your room

"Thank you too, i really liked today" you shyly answered while giving him a hug.

Before he left you stopped him and kissed his cheek; right after you immediately left, leaving him speechless, in a good way, outside your doors, a hand on the cheek you kissed.

You decided to wait a bit for Giorno to leave and then mastered a plan to get out of your room by the window in a way so that you could get back afterwards. The typical trick with the sheets.

You got down where Bruno picked you halfway so you wouldn't get hurt.

"Hello and thank you" you said

"Good evening Y/N"

"So what was the matter with Giorno?" You got down to business right as you landed, to what Bruno smiled

"I see that you care a lot for the emperor. I hope you will continue caring about him the same way after what i will tell you" he said, already regretting this plan. He didn't want to ruin your point of view, but at the same time the situation had to change

"I hope i won't haha" you awkwardly laughed, hoping the same

"Well, just know that he really likes you so you shouldn't worry about him. Now back to business, you remember Jack? Of course you do. Well.... He's dead" the guard said and looked down

"... What? How? Wasn't the countryside guarded?" You loudly asked and received the guy's hand on your mouth

"Shh don't be so loud. What countryside? What are you talking about?" Bruno continued asking while looking around in hope not to meet anyone

"Giorno told me that Jack wanted to live in the countryside so that's why i haven't seen him around" you whispered, your words clearly surprising Bruno

"Oh... No, it's not how it went. Giorno killed him before the concert, because he knew about Jack's plans with you" he started telling

"What plans?! I didn't even accept his date! I needed him to get more information about how to go back" you started getting really mad, with your opportunities to go back to your family being even lower than at the beginning

"I know i know, this is why i told you that Giorno changed. But i'm sure he's just not telling all the information. He wouldn't kill a person like that, technically... There might be something behind and i need to know what that is so that i can help him out. Will you help me? Please?" He asked with pleading eyes, showing that he truly cared a lot for his friend

".... Ok, what do i have to do?" you were mad at Giorno for lying to you and killing your possible ally, friend, salvation and whatsoever. But something clicked in you, you wanted to help. You liked Giorno and you wanted to forgive him. So you did

"We will talk about it tomorrow. I will also show you to my other friends, Fugo and Leone. We will hang out together with Guido and Narancia. Don't worry about Giorno, he'll be too busy to know about that" Bruno enthusiastically said, cheering internally

"Alright, then call me when you will meet" you confirmed, feeling lighter in your heart. You felt like making the right decision

"I will. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night Y/N and thank you!" Bruno weaved and helped you get back to your room

"Good night"
