Summary
Maybe he should have said something. Intervened, like he was planning to, before he bit his tongue instead.
He can only wonder what the alternate turn of events would be, then, if he tried and stopped Giovanna from flexing that one time.
Would he get to keep Bucciarati in such circumstances, too? Or would he finally get a chance to confess his feelings, at last, with nothing to lose?
Also known as the "What If..." prompt for Februabba 2024.

Summary
“This wasn’t what I meant when I said I missed the 90s,” Bucciarati laughs, inspecting his reflection in the full-body mirror of the hotel room he and Abbacchio are staying in.
It has been a few hours, now, a few hours since the stand attack that caused Moody Blues to go completely berserk, rewinding not the memories, but rather, reality. A feature they found out the hard way, impacted by its very power.
A few hours later and the effects of the enemy’s power should start wearing off, slowly but surely - though they are not.

Summary
In the distance, Army of Lovers is playing, the smell of smoke carrying in the air.
And it’s alright, in the end - they have got the whole decade to figure their lives and preferences out, just barely eleven, just curious enough, unsure of the borders of friendship, it appears - though what they are about to do is going to seal it forever, be the catalyst to its evolution - and they are not going to heaven.
Shyly, Bruno reaches out first. His blue eyes flicker in the sunset reflected on the glasshouse across the road. Clumsily, Leone reciprocates, his black-painted nails flashing in the evening light for the briefest of second as he cups Bucciarati’s face with both hands and leans in.Februabba Day 3: Children

Everytime I close my eyes by raynesevenx

Summary
A painted view of the Neapolitan Bay sat on the kitchen counter, a simple postcard resting against the tiled wall, droplets of dried tomato sauce decorating the picture, courtesy of last night’s dinner adding extra flavor to the blue-and-purple shape of the volcano.
Beside it, there stood a half-empty bottle of red wine - and holding a glass filled with the crimson liquid, swinging on a battered stool, rested a drunk man.
His eyes were glued to a semi-transparent figure of a young man standing before him, a crystal glass of cognac in his hand and a timer on his forehead.
23:54:13-25-03-2001 , the display read, a cherished memory of a birthday that happened before it all went to shit.
In forty-seven seconds, it would all be over, the shape of Bucciarati back to the purple, jelly-like form of Moody Blues - the postcard on the counter the only memory of the man.Februabba Day 6: Reaching Out

Summary
Forced to pick his experiences apart one by one as though some invisible power held his mind captive, Abbacchio wonders just what went wrong until he remembers. And wishes he did not.
And he sits and talks and wonders - days, weeks and months go by, and with them, conversations follow, the awareness of it all, nerve damage, bones slashed in half. Bruno was lucky, they say, but was he?
Abbacchio knows what is about to come will be too much to handle. Wonders whether he is fit for a support figure for his lover, to help him carry the weight of the aftermath.Februabba Day 8: Too much

Summary
They survive well into adulthood. And how do they still put up with each other?
“You’re beautiful in this light, you know that?” Leone says with a smile he only reserves for Bruno. Warm and kind, unlike his usual scowl - a cause behind the permanent crease between his brows. Or maybe it’s just old age. They are both retired, after all.

Abbacchio offers a half-smile. “Not to me. I’ve seen enough. You’re still here. Still mine.”
“Not for long,” Bucciarati lets out a heavy sigh. “Don’t tell the others, okay?”
And Leone nods. Then leans in to steal a kiss from the man, perhaps their last to share.Februabba Day 17: Clean Up Your Mess; & Day 14: Cold; & Day 19: We're Both Wrong

Intrigued, Trish walks up to the counter and takes a glance at the squid stripes arranged neatly on the cutting board. “I didn’t know you could cook, Bela Lugosi,” her eyebrow twitches upwards in approval as she crosses her arms, examining the mess decorating the polished surface of the countertop. “What are you up to?”
Or, Leone spoils Bruno with a romantic anniversary dinner.

The capo had a problem. A burning urge threatening to blow his body up in an instant if he suppressed it any longer. Twitches were manageable. He could easily hide them. Grimaces? Less so. Hiccup, though? The worst of all.

Summary
Just five minutes, Abbacchio had said half an hour ago, five minutes and he would return to the pile of notes on the kitchen table.
And now, much to Bruno's sympathetic surprise, he was peacefully sleeping on the couch, looking like an angel mistakenly wearing an unironed Suicide Commando t-shirt instead of a heavenly robe.Februabba Day 24: Alibi and Day 25: Rest

“So you’re a pharmacist, then?” Abbacchio's mother asks.
Kicked in the ankle under the table by Leone, Bruno nods.
“Graduated from Ca’ Foscari,” he lies swiftly, biting his tongue before he reveals his actual profession - the reason why he’s wearing Cucinelli tonight and could afford to drop a greasy olive on his suit pants when antipasti arrived, the reason that would make Leone’s poor mother collapse on site and fall under the table upon finding out that her only son is dating a mafia capo. “Class of ‘87.”

Summary
A hint of pain suddenly showed in the tight-knit eyebrows, an expression of resignation on the otherwise emotionless face as a trace of blood - a stream of it - ran down from the parted lips of the man in the suit.
The Lovers, a plaque on the podium read, also known as ‘Fate is a sleeping slave (we have set it free)’. Followed by a short disclaimer on the language used in the work’s title and the appropriate corrections thereof, the description finished with a date. Of creation, perhaps. Or maybe not.
April 6th, 2001, it read. Six years in the future.Februabba Day 29: Free Day
