Blood Ties
Giorno had saved his business for the council meeting that evening for last. Everything had gone more or less now he’d expected after that.
Chilchuck had questions. While he didn’t raise an objection of any kind, he had spent the rest of the meeting watching Giorno’s face.
Zelda had questions but they were all centered around the technicalities and how she could assist.
Evandor kept it simple, as always. “Giorno has never lead anyone astray.” He said nothing more.
And Juli…she was supportive but he knew she had questions of her own. He offered to walk the scenic route with her back to her room.
“We may not see each other much over the next week.” There was an apology and a lament in there.

If Joseph was a bella donna, he would have asked if this was her first kiss. If Joseph were a bella donna he would have leaned in to kiss her tenderly. But he wasn't--they weren't--and maybe the day was too overwhelming and he was too desperate but his composure crumbled and desire was hitting him like a kick to the stomach.
He gave Joseph what he asked for and kissed him--hard.

“Are you…really doing this now? You have to leave any moment.” As if Caesar wasn’t doing it too.

"Good evening, Mister Joestar." Giorno was perfectly polite when Joseph was at his door this time around, stepping back to invite him inside his room. "Please make yourself at home."
Giorno's room was spacious and scenic--the far end of the room lit up by a broad balcony. The rest of the walls were decorated with plant life draping around bookshelves. Notably, since their last meeting, space had been cleared for an additional bed.
"Have you had dinner?"
no subject
"Yeah," he said, in the most casual tone he could manage. "That's a question I should be asking you. If you had been at dinner, you wouldn't need to ask!"

A devious grin pulled itself across Joseph's face. "Do you want to be carried out?"

"Ohh! South entrance, right?"
Joseph began sprinting in that direction.

"Put me down." His voice was on the edge of being fully raised. "I understand. I'll go with you willingly."

The only one nearby to witness the manhandling by the time Joseph had whisked him outside was an old men who watched over the horse pen. He was busy packing his smoke pipe and hadn’t even looked up. Giorno could count that as a small blessing. The entrance to the apodyterum was just about a hundred feet away.
“If you wanted company you could have simply said so.”
