After a few hours, you and Trish were still in your room talking and joking around. This time you preferred not to drink, but remain sober and face some more interesting, deep and private topics.

"I'm gonna tell you a secret: Giorno is mad crazy about you" Trish said, containing her chuckles but still giving off a slight smile

"That isn't a secret AHAHAHAHAHAA" you laughed loudly as she followed

"AHAHAHAHA I KNOW I KNOW, I WAS KIDDING. Now, here's the secret" she gestured you to come closer so she can whisper "Bruno told me that you have a secret admirer~ but i don't know who exactly! Care to find out?"

"Sure, but why are we whispering?"

"Well, because i'm pretty sure that we're being eavesdropped, RIGHT LEONE?" she yelled the last part, which made the guard enter the room with a confused face

"What?" Abbacchio asked while glancing at you two

"I hope you two don't want to get drunk again" he stated, now with a slight smirk. You liked the fact that you and him were getting comfortable in each other's presences, so that he even smiled and joked while you were in the room! You preferred not to have open conflicts with people, unless they really pissed you off with some bullshit like the previous servant. You didn't believe her at all, but what she said still had a small impact on you and you couldn't forget it. In fact, you were still thinking about her words, even if the conversation with your friends made you feel a little bit better nonetheless.

"Hey Leone, have you seen something weird recently? I mean, apart the whole story with Y/N and Giorno" Trish asked, gaining a weird glare from you

"Hey, i'm not weird" you yelled jokingly, which made your friend chuckle

"I did. I saw how you two magically got the phone back. Mind telling me how and who took it?" The boy answered, wanting to know more about the previous event which made you focus about the servant's words again

"You wanna know who? It was our favourite servant" Trish sarcastically said and rolled her eyes as Leone followed with the move

"Oh Gods... I hope she isn't bothering you Y/N. If so, please tell me and i'll take care about it" he sweetly told you, for the first time he wasn't rough with you. It almost seemed like he cared for you; you didn't know that he actually did, he cared a lot for you since the beginning, but was a master in hiding it. Well, before he was. Now he was dropping his tough facade and changed his approach towards you.

"Oh don't worry, if she'll bother me one more time i'll punch her personally" you confidently said and all of you ended up laughing. You weren't lying, but the whole situation was hilarious: a servant who was acting rude with the emperor's girlfriend. She was clearly writing her death path.

"Oh my, it's pretty late. I should go home. It was very nice talking to you again!! I'll see you tomorrow" Trish said as she hugged you as a goodbye

"Same here! See you!" You returned the hug and then your friend left

"Doesn't she need someone who'll accompany her?" You asked Abbacchio, a bit confused on why he didn't move at all while the girl left

"Yeah, Guido will do it. He's outside the mansion resting a bit. As i told you before, it is pretty calm these days so we can afford to spend more time closer to home or the loved ones" he calmly answered and took the chair Trish was previously sitting in

"Oh get comfortable!" You sarcastically said to what he simply mouthed a 'thank you' and smirked again

"Since you told everyone about your life, you can do the same to me" Abbacchio said with an indifferent face, but you had a feeling that he just wanted to spend more time with someone. Probably being a guard was boring as hell, besides nothing was happening anyways. You two had Formaggio somewhere in there as well for extra security, at least you hoped.

"Oh really? Will that make you stop suspecting me?"

"I will think about it... Go on, i'm listening" he said and crossed his arms

As you started telling him the story of your life, you noticed how his expression startes slowly changing. From indifference he went to a soft smile, sometimes even grinning whenever you talked about some funny event. It reminded you Giorno at some point, but you immediately stopped those feelings of your imagination

"I can't believe i lost her to Giorno. I lost such a treasure, such a cutie. Just look at her, she's still talking while i hear but don't listen. I'm just admiring her ways, how she talks, how fast her facial expressions change, how she gesticulates... There is something that makes me addicted to this sight, if only i knew what exactly does. And now, she's calling my name, so cute.... Wait, she's calling my name?"

"Leoneee, are you still there?" You asked a bit annoyed at the fact that the man wasn't listening to you at all

"Huh?? Oh yeah of course. I asked you to tell me about you so why shouldn't i listen?" Abbacchio tried to cover up and pretend he was listening all way long, which obviously wasn't true

"Tell yourself that, don't question me on this stuff" you joked

"It's getting late, maybe i should go to sleep. You should relax too Leo, i don't want you to lack of sleep" you said while standing up from the chair and stretching your arms a bit

"Leo? She called me Leo? She gave me a cute pet name?" He felt as his heart started beating faster, a hot feeling was overtaking his face as a little blush started appearing on his cheeks.

"Yeah... Sure. Have a good night" Abbacchio mumbled and quickly left the room, loudly closing the door afterwards

"Huh? What got into him?" You thought, but decided that going to sleep would be a better idea than trying to understand your guard.

As soon as you layed on the bed, you started having short flashbacks of your relationship with Giorno: your dates, your cute conversations, your first night together, your fight... And how he asked for your forgiveness. At the sweet thought of your loved one you fell asleep

Meanwhile abroad

"Hey Giorno, don't be so sad. You will get to see her soon!" Narancia approached the trembling blond, who wasn't able to fall asleep.

"I know, Narancia, i know... I just wonder how she's doing there. Is she missing me? Does she still love me? What do you think?" The emperor questioned with a thoughtful and sad face, really focused on the guard's answer

"Of course she is! To both questions! Giorno trust me on that, i'm sure she's laying on your bed now and is thinking about you too!" The black haired boy tried to reassure his friend once again.

Afterwards, it was very silent as the others were all sleeping, but at some point Giorno broke the silence

"Thank you, Narancia. Your words made me feel better, i appreciate them a lot and i hope they are actually correct. Now it's time to sleep, we will have a long day tomorrow. Good night" Giorno murmured, softly glancing the sky while thinking about you and Narancia's words

"I'm glad. Good night Giorno" the other answered and proceeded to rest as well
