Summary
“You love it.” Narancia counters cheekily. It reminds Mista of their times after, when they’re both spent but still trying to keep up with the back-and-forth. Narancia laid next to – or on – him. It’s a pleasant kind of memory, one that makes the weight of the phone in his hand that much colder. “It’s fine, you can pay me back when you come home.”
“Yeah?” Mista asks, feeling his body start to relax dangerously into the bed. “Holding you to that.”
“Well,” The tiredness in his voice is palpable too. “Didn’t say I’m gonna make it easy for you.”
Or:
Act 3 of a love story.

Summary
“Fuck,” Narancia groans on top of him.
Despite being midday, the apartment is dimly lit. None of the lights are on, and the only source of brightness that allows them to see comes from the one window they’d left unblinded a few meters across the room. The television, on a short time ago, has a faint glow around its edges and nothing more.
Mista’s head is laying on their couch’s armrest, and even with the bruising grip he has on Narancia’s hips, the atmosphere is calm and hazy.
Or:
A collection of vignettes following Narancia and Mista's friendship.

Summary
“Fuck off.” Mista grumbles out in a shitty defense. Narancia doesn’t bother responding, already abandoning his job so he can brush by him; hands warm against each other as he takes the revolver.
The last man already knows what’s coming; it’s clear when Narancia yanks his head up by his hair. When the cylinder is pressed against his forehead and his eyes dart up to meet those of Narancia’s. He’s petrified. His mouth opens to plea.
He never gets the chance; Narancia pulls the trigger while still staring into his. Spray of brain matter hits the floor.
Or:
It's better to not bring up the past. Mista's not the only one who lives by that motto.
Unfortunately, the past keeps finding him.

Summary
"You have to move forward.”
Clicks the pen. Off. On. This is not necessary in any practical means, but its always paid him well. Resets his brain after each report; lets him come at each document with new eyes. It’s important to keep a clear head. Greater men have died for less.
“I have moved on.”
“Forward, Giorno.” He corrects. Giorno continues to write. “Don’t fool yourself with moving on. You have to move forward.”
Or:
Giorno Giovanna, the fifteen year old Don of the Italian mafia, is an enigma to all he meets. A human mirror for your greatest strengths, your darkest regrets. His very name is spoken like a title.
What can you give a man who has everything?

Summary
What are they? It’s not a question they get asked much. Most people already know. The answer is always the same: teammates. Friends. There is no other reply.
It’s not something they talk about.
Or:
If you're going to do it, pray damn well you won't get caught.

Summary
Aki licked his lips, chapped in the cold weather. They have a warm pinkness to them after he’s done, and the colour reminded Angel of a limited cotton candy ice cream he’d gotten at one of the local vendors. It wasn’t their best flavour, it’s not a surprise it didn’t maintain its stay.
“If you were me… What would you do?”
He’s relieved that’s the question. It’s the easiest one he’s gotten all day. All week. Maybe the easiest one he’s gotten his entire life.
“That’s simple. I’d run and never look back.”
Or:
Aki Hayakawa chooses differently. Angel Devil bears in the tide.

Summary
Rule number one to surviving the Mafia: know where loyalties lie.
That was common sense, really. Going into bad territory with the wrong person as your backup could leave you backstabbed in the most literal of sense. That was why Narancia didn’t stray far from the team unless he had to, his first and last lesson of betrayal had been grievous. It almost took his life. He’d never forget it.
Or:
He may not look it, But Narancia Ghirga is a man's man. He didn't allow any survivors in a fight or take any insult lying down. He was a real man, like the ones he'd grown up hearing about. Like the one he'd thrown away everything to be like.
Of course, to be a real man, there were some rules you had to follow.

Summary
Say you’re lying face-down in the ground with muck and dirt covering your face. Say that, for some reason, your pick, you’d just been shot. Now assume that during your arguably worst moment, you have to see your only friends watch you fall, wounded. And just for fun’s sake, let’s assume they keep running.
So, given that shitty situation, where you’re a little down on your luck, what would you do with your last few minutes of life?
Oh, and to top it off, you can hear a horde of zombies not more than fifty meters away, ready to eat you alive. Because it’s the fucking apocalypse.
Yeah, Guido Mista was having a great day.
Or:
The world ended when Guido Mista's life was only beginning. But as long as his eyes keep opening every morning, he's going to keep trying. He doesn't have any other option.

Summary
It’s five in the morning and Pannacotta Fugo is standing naked and bloody in the bathroom. A patterning of crumpled and timeworn pages spread around the tiled floor. Stained with old, dirty blood that had been absorbed by the page and bloomed like a flower. Torn in weathered spots that had been weakened with the long-ago moisture of tears, spit. Semen dotting some of the edges. He didn’t have any fancy prose for that one.
Fugo snorts, knees weak and hands shaking.
How’s that for an opener?
Or:
Pannacotta Fugo overcomes.

Summary
Moving in with Mista seemed like a no-brainer at the time.
Narancia already practically lived there. Spent any nights he wasn’t in his own bed at Mista’s, lazy and gorging themselves on pizza. Passing out on the couch or squabbling over who got to take the bed this time, finally drawing a truce when exhaustion started to weigh down their eyelids and make their movements sluggish. Narancia always slept best with someone beside him anyway.
Or:
Narancia ticked off every box in his checklist before moving in with Mista. Own bedroom? Check. Shared chores? Check. A guarantee to not fall for your best friend?
Well, he'll get back to you on that one.

Summary
Pannacotta Fugo was a thinker.
He always had been. Was trained to be. Turning his papers over two, three, four times with sweat on his brow making sure that not a single question was mistaken, not a single line out of place. It was always better if he caught them first, could rectify the mistake before it was deemed punishable.
Unfortunately, he learned soon after, overthinking isn’t a skill you turn off and on like a convenient lamp. Couldn’t even dim it at the worst of times.
Or:
Pannacotta Fugo knows why they're called ghosts of the past. Just like the creatures from every pulpy horror-action novel, they lingered. Crept up on your daily life. Became the new normal. He knows his better than he knows his own face.
It must be only natural for him to start wondering about other's specters.

Summary
As with most tumultuous experiences in his life, it was all Narancia’s fault.
It started when he’d been laying on Fugo’s bed, uninvited as usual. His radio playing quietly beside him as Fugo poured over his collection of novels at his desk. He had a bookshelf, of course, but kept his favourites in an easier to access place. It made it more convenient for moments like these when he needed to find a particular copy.
“Hey,” He said, the rhythmic pattering of him throwing and catching a ball in the air a comforting background sound. “When’d you know you had a crush on someone?”
Or:
Pannacotta Fugo has it all: power, wealth, friends. Now, he must face his most difficult challenge of all: a huge embarrassing adolescent crush.
The real kicker?
It was on another man.

Summary
He hadn’t really been thinking at the time. Between the throbbing in his side, the painful headache he’d gotten from the hits to his head, the server asking if he needed her to call an ambulance, and the heady rush he’d still had from the alcohol, there wasn’t much room for logical reasoning. The only thing he’d remembered thinking, everything else distant and fleeting when he tried to grab hold of it, was that he wished Narancia were there. But he wasn’t.
So, he went to Narancia.
Guido Mista never claimed to be a complicated man.
Or:
Mista gets hurt. Narancia helps fix him up.

Summary
Narancia’s bed was farther into the room, near the windows. He could tell it was Narancia’s even without the other bed being occupied. The sheets had been thrown around and mussed to the boy’s preferred liking. He could see a pillow dropped onto the floor carelessly, forsaken in the boy’s mess.
That wasn’t the part that had caught Bruno’s attention. Nor was it the part that made his blood run cold, a sweat forming on his brow.
Narancia’s bed was empty.
Or:
Five times their friends figured out Narancia and Mista's relationship and one time they told them themselves.

Summary
They’d never gotten together.
Not technically, like the way you see in the movies. Really, if hard-pressed, Narancia wasn’t quite sure when their relationship had bridged over from totally platonic to whatever it was now. He knew he tended to fall fast into relationships, romantic or otherwise, when he started to trust a person. Mista was different though; he couldn’t remember a time where he knew the man and didn’t feel comfortable in his presence.
Or:
Mista and Narancia go through the turmoil of young love and puberty. Sometimes they manage to be halfway decent at it.
