Papa emeritus ii x male reader

Chapter 3

When he left the room you went to the bathroom, to see how bad the bruising was. You walked in and turned on the light, the bathroom was decorated with a green and black surrounding. The shower curtain green with hints of black specs, the walls painted dark grey and the rim dark green, the mirror had a black victorian frame around it.

You looked at yourself in the mirror, noticing the bruises. "Fuck....I look like a piece of shit heh.." you whispered to yourself. You lifted your hand to your eyebrow, where it had been sliced open by the branches you ran into. You looked down at your nose, noticing how crooked it was. "He broke my fucking nose!" You yelled into the mirror, you placed two fingers against the bridge of your nose, hissing at the pain.

"Who's he?" You heard a voice say from the entrance of the bathroom, you yelled and looked over. Papa emeritus ii standing there, with confusion on his face.

"Damn it...don't sneak up on me like that." You said a little embarrassed from him scaring you. You looked away from him and back to the mirror, seeing where else you got hurt.

"You didn't answer my question Aspen." He said in a stern tone. You looked over at him, why does he want to know? He doesn't need to know my business in the first place. "It's..no one forget it, just some guy at my church..." You walked past him out of the bathroom, sitting back down on the bed. "Well, why did he break your nose?" He crossed his arms while leaning in the frame of the bathroom. You looked at him and got flustered, you could see the muscles in his arms from the way he positioned them, and the way he was standing was very intimidating. "Uh....h-he just got upset at me is all...." You fiddled with your fingers, starting to get even more flustered as you heard him walking over to you.

He sat down beside you and sighed. "Why do you stutter so much hm?" He asked you while taking his hat off. "Why do you ask so many questions?" You replied softly look down at the floor. "Well your a stranger that is sitting on my bed, the only thing I know about you is your name Si? Wouldn't it be a good thing to ask questions of a stranger?" You could hear the cockiness in his voice, you looked over at him and started blushing even more, he had his lip curled into a grin that made you weak in the knees. "Ye-yeah I guess..but I'm not that special to know about, I have a very shitty, boring life so...no need to answer any of your questions." You said dazed off, you were lost staring into his eyes, especially the white one. Such a beautiful, entrancing eye.
"Why are staring at me like that?" He said confused. You blinked and looked down at the floor again

"Just lost in thought, can I have something to eat? I'm kind of hungry." You asked trying to change the conversation. He chuckled at you and got up from the spot beside you. "Si, I'll take you to the kitchen area, hopefully a brother or sister of sin is still there." He said extending his hand towards you. You grabbed onto it and got up, you let go and followed him to the kitchen.

As you and him were walking through the halls, you saw someone walking the opposite direction as you. He had a white eye like papa ii, but only had black around his eyes. He was also wearing a cassock like yours but his was red instead of black.

"Ah hello papa, how are you?" The man asked in a quiet voice. He was quite shorter than papa ii but taller than you. "I'm doing alright cardinal thank you." Cardinal nodded and looked over at you, he looked you up and down confused. "Is this a new member of our church, I wasn't informed?" Cardinal said a little confused. Secondo looked down at you. "Uh..yes this is a new member, but don't go letting people know about him he's shy." He said in a low tone.

Copia gave a confused look but agreed. "Of course, what's your name?" He turned to look at you. "Oh it's um..Brother Aspen.." you said with a smile. "Ah that's a lovely name, well I better get going I have this meeting to attend to. Hope you two have a good night." The cardinal said walking away.
"He seems nice." You said looking up at secondo, he looked down at you with a smirk. "Yes he's nice, maybe you can get to know him better one day. Come now, let's go to the kitchen."

You turned down a corner to a room that said 'kitchen' on top. "I'm guessing this is the kitchen." You said with sarcasm. He ignored what you said and opened the door. You thanked him and walked in, it was a huge kitchen, bigger than the one at your catholic school. You looked around for a little while admiring the decor, it was a pretty and big place.

You came back to reality and looked around for secondo, he was over at the stove cooking something, I guess the brothers nor sisters are in here right now. You walk over to him to see what he's cooking. "What is that?" You ask sitting on the counter beside the stove. "Pasta fagioli soup, it's an Italian dish." He said while putting some carrots in the pot along with tomatoes. "Oh ok, I've never heard of it before, it smells really good tho." You said looking over at it.

"I use to make it for my brother terzo when he was younger. That was when my dad was papa." He smiled a little thinking about it, but it dropped immediately. "Well thank you for making it for me I appreciate it." You told him with a smile. You hopped down from the counter to look around a little more.

You head over to the table that was in the middle of the room, it was painted with a saturated black with some red on the corners. It also had matching chairs to go with it, there was three candles placed on the middle of the table, not lit at the moment.

"Hey you have a lighter?" You asked secondo while turning to look at him, what you weren't expecting was that he was right behind you with your bowl and his bowl of soup. "Yes I do, why do you ask him?" He said walking past you to the table. "Well I wanted to light the candles, they look pretty." You said while scratching the back of your neck.

He looked at you from the seat he was in, he was sitting on the first chair at the top of the table. "There is one on the counter over there." He said pointing to the counter next to the fridge and drawers. " Oh great, thank you very much."

You walked around the table to the fridge, grabbing the lighter. You were about to go back but you felt someone lean against you. "Sorry cara, just getting some silverware, surely you don't mind." He said with a teasing tone while he leaned over you opening the drawer. "Not at all.....it is your place after all heh." You said trying to calm yourself.

He leaned off of you and headed back to his seat. "Come sit, try the soup." He said while taking a bite. You nodded, walked over to the table, lit the three candles and sat down begining to eat the Italian soup he made.
