All the time she had been so careful. All the time she had tried to protect herself and those she loved and by that making a grave error by thinking it wasn't that bad. Now she had made another mistake by hiding it too long. Trying to find the perfect moment to say it. That moment had been before she rushed away into the small kitchen. He would be able to see her. He would be able to but she didn't switch on the lights so it would make sense if it was difficult. She was a horrible human being and as she stared at her reflection she heard him say her name, her alias and she started to cry only more. She only just realized. She had not dared to tell him, afraid he would follow in the footsteps of her father but now he would be angry with her as she heard that in his voice. Her shoulders started to shake and she cried and covered her face while remaining silent.
She tried to stay calm and lifted up her head, tried to take a few deep breaths and she was afraid of him. She was afraid what he would do to her. It was all the same, why did she maybe always pick the wrong people. But she did not want to think of him as wrong. It was just the past that made her afraid. Her shoulders high up as if she would wait for him to slap her and she still cried and tried to wipe away her tears. "I am sorry, I didn't know how or when to say it." She said with short hiccups. She didn't know what to say, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit as the food swirled and twirled her stomach. She wanted to stop everything and sit on the ground.

She came back, but not how he expected. She was crying red face and tears. He expected like awe and surprise like ''how did you know'' kinda deal? But this?? Crying?! Man, he really didnt know women. Either that or Nimue was truly special. But how can he stay made at a face like that? At a woman like that. She was like a doe, a beautiful one at that. She was his catch and he wanted to keep her. She was his.
Giovanni got up and walked over to her. He grabbed her hands and lowered them so he can take a good look at that face. And see her eyes. He kissed her on the forehead
"Im sorry." he apologized now that his hot temper was doused with her sadness and tears
"I thought I could make you say it. I thought if I spoke highly of Witch Doctor you'd beam and say that it was you. I didnt expect that you'd cry" he then asked "Why... why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"
He doesnt get it, he got mad, but he didnt harm her nor insult her. So what was her deal? He really didnt understand

She had screwed up again, but she needed to ask him where and when but instead she kept on crying and she couldn't stop. She let him take her hands and she looked up at him with big red eyes as she cried and she closed her eyes as he kissed her on the forehead. That never had happened before, she used to be yelled at why she was crying and that she was weak and he kissed her. She looked to her toes, he apologized too. "I wanted to, but I couldn't." She squeaked as she wouldn't be able to really talk and not make a proper sound about it all, it was ridiculous. She blushed a little, though it wasn't really visible because of the already red spots on her cheek and of course the colour on her cheekbones that she did no longer hide for Giovanni. Oh, it might be that he knew her because of that, that he recognized her because of that. "No-no it's me. I should have told you. But I couldn't." She should not tell him, she should not tell him of the mistake she made.
She wanted him to hold her but he didn't and she kept looking at her feet. "The last person I told about my real job, in my private life." She bit her lip and her shoulders started to shake as she tried to not cry about it again, "Was my father." She wasn't sure if she was now making it worse because it wasn't the idea to make him feel bad about himself or about the whole situation and she squeaked out another apology because she couldn't take it. What would she say more and she felt horrible about it, she wanted that this night has never happened. She should not have asked.

She apologized and said how she couldnt but she wanted to. Hah, the story of his life. He wants to tell her, but he knows if he does that they'll lose eachother. And then she said that the last person she told that was her father. And Giovanni knows her father died. Thats exactly how they met after all. The death of her father, pushed her on the path to meet him. He figured, she must fear he would die as well, he kissed her cheeks. And then looked at her eyes
"Dont worry about me. I can take care of myself, Beautiful. See? Im fine. I knew your job and nothing happened." he said as he reassured her.
He took her by hand escorted her back to the table and sat her down. He then took his seat. "I see you and I need to talk. You're worried I might die. But I assure you I am not the type to be killed. I have my precautions" he said
But the one who truly needed to talk was her. She probably had questions after all. He was not sure if he can answer them, but he would try his best to do so.

She looked up, through her sticky eyelashes, as the stuck together because of her tears. She didn't know what to say but look in his eyes. The eyes that switched colours, she noticed that before and she noticed it often and she wished he would hold her still but she didn't say it. He didn't, he might still find her stupid for not saying so. She brushed her tears away and made a soft squeaky sound as he called her beautiful. "Please-please keep it a secret." She had to beg him, it's exactly what her father did not. But Giovanni was right, he had not said it to her and he knew so what more could she expect of him if he already did so. She let him guide her to the table and sat down and looked at him a little, before deciding to put her eyes on his plate, she couldn't look directly at him.
"I thought I did too." She mumbled, which reminded her that he knew. How many others would know? "How-how did you figure it out?" She had to be more precautious. She didn't know what else to do, her hero outfit was hidden in her wardrobe, anything, what was it?

Her squeaky sound was to die for. He loved it and would smile hearing it. But now was not the time for it. He escorted her back to her seat and sat her down. He soon did the same. Soon she asked what he finally expected her to ask.
"I have friends in high places. One of which knew who you were and as soon as they found out that we were dating has told me as a precaution of who you were and what you were. That was about 2 months ago. Early January. As you can see, I didnt tell anyone I knew, even you. Although I waited to see when you would tell me. And then I realized you werent telling me. I wondered why and thought you werent trusting me enough. That something was wrong"
He then leaned back in his chair. "But now I see you hid that for a completely different reason. So yeah... dont worry. Im a rich man, hero or no hero I have to protect myself because of my wealth, not because of your hero status. Plus I always carry protection with me. Although when I am around you, I hope not to carry it because I didnt want to scare you or unsettle you" he said
Giovanni was a rich man, celebrity hero or no. He had to protect himself, thus he usually has bodyguards or carries weapons. He usually carries a firearm. Usually with Nimue though, he leaves it in the glove compartment of the car. But maybe with Nimues blessing, he could carry with always with him.
He does it to protect himself from rivals and because of his wealth and status. Nimue's personal hero status means nothing to him and doesnt change his lifestyle much. Its merely a dent. He already has self protection measures. He has this all under control

She looked away again and nodded. January god, hallelujah he could keep a secret. "Do I have to worry about my identity if your friends already know?" She mumbled because she had tried so very hard, it was why she kept the make-up on her face all the time and hid the red line on her face. It was to die or cry for, she wasn't sure which. But she looked up when she heard the softest creak of the chair and watched him casually lean back. She still hated it, tonight should have never happened. She wanted it gone, not to exist. She looked away, she wasn't sure if she wanted him to carry protection, what would it mean? A weapon? "You should do what you think is best." She said softly, after all, she could not really protect people. She got up again. The fact that he looked so distant in her clouded mind made her hate tonight still. She had no appetite, she wanted to be alone and hate herself and cry again. "I am going to clean up my face." She mumbled and walked to the bathroom.
It would take a while (he might get worried) for her to do anything. She held the sink, did not stare at the mirror and felt her blood boil in the sense of self-hate. What did she do, why did she keep lying and why didn't she say anything. Why did she get jealous of herself? It made no sense at all. She should have opened her mouth and said something, asked him to stop. He understood what more could she want? She felt the tears still trickle down her cheeks or the point of her nose and drop in the sink. She was not good for anybody, not anyone and not herself.

Nimue asked if she needed to worry about her identity if his friends knew. Giovanni chuckled "Of course not, amore. I can keep a secret. And as you can see, I've been doing it so well that even you didnt know it. And if I wanted I could've gone on forever without telling you I knew" he said, but then got up and sat closer to get and put an arm around her waist. Nimue said that he should do what he thinks is best, which made him smile and quite pleased. Good it was good that she trusted him with that. When she excused herself and said she was going to the bathroom, he didnt know should he keep her or not.
But while he debated that, she left. He decided to be patient and wait, but when he realized it took a while, he decided to check on her, only for her to see infront of the mirror crying. By the looks of it, she didnt notice him. So he used the moment to surprise her by approaching her and hugging her from behind. He kissed her cheek where he saw a tear and then he spoke "Mi dispiace. ...erm. Sorry. I didnt mean to upset you. I will admit... I am not a perfect boyfriend... I have weaknesses too..." he sighed "I dont know... maybe I should've told you right away. Non lo so... I dont know. Please dont cry, my love. I care about you"

She was desperate, she was stupid and she was crying. She should have done better, she knew that lying would only bring more problems but she had not been able to bring it up to him. Not able to speak about her real job and give any details at the matter. She wanted to be sure he was okay with it, that he did not hate so many things, she had told him about her quirk. She had listened to him say Witch Doctor was amazing and instead of being flattered she got mad. She got... she got jealous. It was ridiculous. She should do something. She should, god, she should talk to him, apologize over and over again. She should quit, they knew who she was. More knew, who was next? Crowley? Lavande? Oracle? She shook visibly. It did not matter that he said he could keep a secret, what about his source, who told him that? She wasn't sure, she was so scared.
She squeaked when she felt his arms around her and looked up in the mirror with big eyes. She shook again and she took a deep breath and she stared at him. Her lower lip trembled, "It's not that." She said with a shaking sound in her voice too. "No, it's-it's that." She turned in his arms to hold on to him too and just be close to him. "I am so afraid something bad will happen. I don't want anything to change. I didn't dare to say anything afraid you would hate me for my job, afraid that you would get into trouble because of my work. Anything really." What could she say, how could she explain it any better, she was afraid, so afraid. She tried, with little hiccups to stop crying for his sake. She could do better, she was a hero for god's sake she should stop crying.

Yeah she was a hero, but seeing her cry was heartbreaking to him even if he was a villain. He had to hug her, the sound of a squeak was cute as hell. Still, he kissed her and apologized for his actions. Nimue said its not that, he heard the shakiness in her voice and she turned inhis arms to hold him too. She then admitted that she was afaid something bad will happen. She does not want anything to change. She was scared he'd hate her for her job. Afraid he'd get in trouble because of his work. She was just plain scared.
He comforted her and shushed her as she cried "Ah darling. No need to worry. I will stay safe so nothing bad will happen. And nothing will change between us. The fact you are a hero is wonderful. Hell, I could help you too! I mean you know what people are like, chatty with a bartender. I can just pretend to be a normal guy and whappow! Hear some rumours of bad people and then I tell them to you and you'll do hero stuff or pass em on. We can work together that way. It'd be an honour to help you, information wise~" he said trying to sound reassuring and work "As for your hero position that would get me in trouble. That can only happen if you see me break the law. Which you wont see happen" he said in a teasing tone as he stuck his tongue out playfully. He tried to lighten the mood, but also cheer her up, hug her and kiss her |

She hiccupped a little more as she let him hold her. Her own hands folded around his middle so he could hold him, make sure he was real. That he would not slip through her fingers as the others had done now. She was so scared for all that and she listened to him. She tried to believe him, to not worry and to believe him in that he would stay safe. He had done so before they met, he had done so since they started dating, it was fine. She looked up at him now, stopped hiding her face and with her big teary eyes she looked at him and nodded. She made a soft giggly sound when he said it was something he could help her with, she was already glad that he said it was a wonderful thing. She nodded, "As long as you are not in danger, I like that." and she snuggled in his arms. "Don't change." She wanted him to be like this to her always.
She giggled again and nodded, "I am not afraid." And she let him kiss her. There was still this feeling of guilt in the pit of her stomach, considering she ruined their dinner and everything. She should stay here even if this was going a little better. She kissed him in return and when she broke the kiss she wiped the mascara tears softly off his face as well the line of lipstick on his face. "If you want to go home, that's understandable, I am sorry I ruined dinner." She should have been honest, as she was always taught. Lying brought you nowhere and only made problems later down the road. She wasn't sure what she would do with herself if he would leave now, she would kick herself or try to sneak Kuro home and hug him maybe he was even asleep on her bed, bleh. She hated herself still.

Giovanni was happy when he heard her giggle a bit. And he was happy when she snuggled in his arms and agreed to him helping her information wise. This was amazing, he had a Pro Hero under his thumb. He can direct her to strike his foes after he gets their information. Thunder was going to be dust! Villains beware.
Another thing pleased him greatly, so much so that he had a huge shit eating grin on his face, and that was Nimue saying 'Dont change'. Giovanni kissed Nimue lovingly and then looked at her in the eyes and gently yet confidently told her "I will never change"
After which the two kissed for a bit. He started the kiss, but soon she returned it. After that brief moment of passion, Nimue broke th kiss and wiped her tears, he noticed her make up was ruined. He felt bad for making her cry. Giovanni was surprosed when she was the one who apologized
"No no no no! You did not ruin dinner!" he said holding her hands "Everything happens for a reason. This was just fate. And fate was that on this evening I learn your profession." he then kissed her hands as he looked into her eyes "I dont want to leave you. Not like this. I dont want to end our night like this." after that he hugged her and held her longer in his embrace.

The smile on his face or she should say grin because that wasn't a normal smile was making her feel butterflies in her stomach. He looked happy, he looked confident and that was damn attractive. She liked how he kissed her tenderly and that it seemed to be all going well now and he told her he would never change. "Promise?" She whispered, she wanted this to-to last for forever. It was childish, it was a princess dream that never did exist but she wanted to hold on to the words her father had told her. You simply would know and she did. She was happy and even though he kissed her, there was this nagging feeling that she ruined tonight. It was maybe okay to have a little bit of a distance. But only thinking about that made her kiss him more passionately. She did not want him to leave but she should. So she should offer that, she should say it's okay. She stopped, wiped away her tears. She still had not cleaned up her face and everything. So she said so, she said it was all understandable and that it would be fine.
She was mostly surprised when he told her that everything happened for a reason. That's always what she thought. She looked at him surprised, maybe slightly uncomfortable but she did not know exactly why she felt that and she watched him as he kissed her hands and looked up to her. She let him hold her. She rubbed her cheek against his chest and she would just be there. Listening to his heartbeat and calming down. "Shall we go back then?" She mumbled eventually and when he let go, she did quickly clean her face. She did not apply any new make-up and let it be.
They would eat, it would go better and she would enjoy it and once she did bring the dessert to the table, she decided to tell him about her plans for tomorrow. "I have been working on giving medical help for free for well the poor people. Especially because of the quirk tax and I plan to go to an orphanage tomorrow. Do-do you want to come?" She did not understand why she was so hesitant about it. She wasn't even sure yet how to do it, she had not thought if she was going to wear her hero clothing. She thought it might be nice considering what Wagyu had said and she remembered the birthday card and that made her smile. Maybe she should go there, some day.

He smiled "Si, I promise~" he told her happily. Because indeed, he never planned to change. If anyone was to change, it'd be her. He kissed her and did everything to reassure her that everything was ok. He was pleasantly surprised when she kissed him passionately, but he didnt complained as he kissed her as well. He loved her kiss. What he was also glad was that Nimue wiped her tears away. Yes, now thats a beautiful sight Giovanni told her not to worry, as everything happened for a reason, a fact or statement that surprised her. He kissed her hands and looked at her. They had their moment together. Nimue then asked if they should go back. Giovanni nodded and thus the two went back and ate together. He would always smile to her and make sure she was enjoying her meal. He was perfectly fine pampering her
Once they finished that, she brought the dessert. And when they dug in, Nimue spoke. She said something that piqued his interest. She wants to give free medical health to poor people. Because of hat stupid quirk tax and thus she wants to go to an orphanage tomorrow. She asked if he wanted to come. Giovanni smiled "Well, I would be delighted to come with you. I can be your support, si?"
He then asked, "If you want me. I will come. But what do you want me to do." he then teases "Other then be moral support" either way he will go, he had his own plans he could further. His influence needed to be spread. He needed more, always more. He was sure he could also use this lil trip for own personal gain. Indeed, having Nimue by his side was the best thing that could happen to him. If only he could tell her.... |

After everything was solved, she talked about her plans for tomorrow while taking a bite of the ice cream that she had served and looked she gave him a shy smile and nodded. Yes, he could be her support, "You could be my assistant." She said with a little laugh and it meant that she would still not ruin their weekend together and yet do something that she had planned to do for weeks, it would be the best for her as well and having best of both world made it even better. She thought about it and wasn't sure what she would want him to do and suddenly it dawned on her what he could do but it would require a lot of money and she did not know his income but she wasn't even sure if he wanted to do something like that.
"I ehm, I might know something to do as a moral support, it just requires quite a bit of money." She looked again quite shy, she did not like to ask him for money. He already always took her to fancy spots and she couldn't pay for that, all her salary was going into important matters or donating money to research and so on. she knew it was better to keep some of her own and safe it but she couldn't just do that, she could not only think of herself. "I thought just now," She started after she watched his reaction, "That maybe you could buy toys for every kid. Maybe a plushy or so to give to them after I did a medical check, so they get a little reward and just be there for kids." She looked at the ice cream bowl, "They have no one but the women that take care of them, wouldn't it be nice if someone showed interest in them," and with that she meant him, a man. But she blushed, remembering that shortly before they talked about kids. She had always wanted to know if he wanted them and if he was considering kids as something nice, not everyone liked them. But her job had always been around kids and she loved them very much. "I-I am not sure if you would mind hanging out with kids." She looked through her eyelashes at him, it was just something to do. How else would she describe it but maybe that was it, they could go to the stores first or so, she could maybe pay for a few herself. She had already gotten information about the orphanage so it was definitely interesting.
