For Eternity (Vampire! 2p! Italy x Reader)

Extra #5 - Career Day

Giovanni had rushed home ahead of his two friends, Franz and Sarah, and was almost to his uncle's studio. He only had a few more corridors until he would be able to hide his blackened eye from his parents. Unfortunately for him, he ran right into you while rounding a corner. You stumbled back a bit, him moving with you from clinging onto your shirt to prevent himself from falling. After regaining your balance, you placed a hand on his head and ruffled his hair a bit. He pushed your hand off of his head and tried to get passed you. You caught his arm and pulled him back towards you.

"Hey, what's the rush sweetheart? Do you have so much homework that you don't have time to say hello to your mother?" you asked with a bit of a laugh.

"Uh... Yeah! Sorry Mama!" Giovanni said a bit nervously.

You squinted at him, knowing something was wrong. Your grip tightened on his arm a little.

"Mama, let go. Come on. I have homework to do."

"No, something is bothering you. You're hiding your one eye behind your hair."

You reached out and tried to move his hair out of his face, but he recoiled to you couldn't touch him. You frowned and took a step forward, quickly swiping his hair out of his face. You gasped at the sight of his black eye before picking him up and settling him on your hip.

"Hunny, what happened to your eye?!"

"I fell and hit my face on a pole on the way home..."

"Don't lie to your mother," Luciano said as he walked down the hall towards the two of you. "Now what's this I'm hearing about your eye- HOLY FUCK SON, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYE?!"

"Luciano, watch your mouth!"

"I'm sorry (y/n), but our child has a black eye! This in unacceptable!" He took Giovanni from you, set him on the ground, kneeled so he was nearly the same height as his son, and took a hold of his shoulders. "I want you to tell me everything. Who did this? Where do they live?"

"Calm down hun. Give the kid some space. He'll tell us when he's ready. For now, we need to get some ice on that to help it heal quicker."

You picked your son back up and began walking in the direction of the kitchen. Hopefully Oliver would be there to give you a hand if you would need it. Luciano followed behind the two of you silently. Giovanni had his black eye on display for all the passing maids and butlers to see, and he was becoming self conscious of it. He buried is face into you neck and held on to you tighter.

"Why can't I heal as fast as you and Papa?" he sniffled out in a whisper.

You patted his back comfortingly. "It's because you're still young yet. Your healing factor will increase and grow faster as you age."

"Okay..."

He was silent the rest of the way to the kitchen as you carried him. You walked through the dining hall and to the kitchen. Luciano opened the door for you. You gave him a kiss as you passed him as a thank you for holding the door for you. A blur of pink and blue rushed past you as you went to set Giovanni on the counter so you could better assess his eye.

"Hello dear!" Oliver chirped as he back tracked to you and your son.

"Hello Oliver," you replied with a small smile.

"Hi Mr. Oliver..." Giovanni greeted.

"Hello Gio- GOOD HEAVENS! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR POOR EYE?!"
