A Mafia Love Story

Back to School

The first day of college, it's a big step in life. It can also be a very scary experience. For Y/N it was absolutely terrifying, she was almost literally shaking in her shoes. Her body felt ten times heavier with every step she took. Multiple times she glanced at her schedule, constantly making sure that the time and room of her first class hadn't magically changed. It hadn't, but because of her nervousness she had arrived an hour early. She walked into the first building and climbed the stairs to the floor her class was on. Once she was on the right floor she promptly got lost for about 5 minutes after taking a wrong turn. She righted herself and found her class soon after.

The door was locked so Y/N took a seat on the floor and leaned against the wall. At first she was alone but pretty soon other people arrived as well and took a seat near her. They all silently waited for the teacher, a nervous energy surrounding them. An hour or so later the class down the hall left their room and an older woman who looked to be in her late 50s early 60s walked towards the group of people surrounding the locked door. She looked around at them and said, "Are you all here for the 8:35 English class?" Everyone nodded. "Alright, well I'm your teacher, when we next see each other the door will be unlocked so you guys can just come in.

Everyone walked in and the teacher, Professor Runger, said that she would wait 10 minutes for anyone running late or anyone who got lost. A few minutes later a bunch of stragglers came in, including a very flashy blonde male.

Once everyone settled down and was seated in front of a computer, Professor Runger said role call. She said quite a few names and then yours, "Y/N Y/L/N?" "Here" She said a few more names before finally ending with, "Flavio Vargas?" The flashy blonde from before exuberantly responded, "Fabulously present!" There was a round of laughter and even the teacher cracked a smile. "Today was the first and only day I shall take role call. By next class I will have a list where you will all sign your names every class. Now if you would all come up and grab a syllabus and a syllabus practice quiz."

"Okay class, don't forget to study your syllabus. At our next class we will have a quiz on it and if you get 100% on it then you will get 10 extra credit points added to your first essay. You are dismissed." Y/N packed her things and got up to go wait in the cafeteria on the first floor until her next class. Flavio quickly gathered his stuff too and quickly ran after Y/N. "Hey you, wait up!" Y/N looked back and saw Flavio was calling out to her. She paused with a surprised look on her face. He quickly caught up to her and with a bright smile said, "Buongiorno bella, I'm Flavio Vargas." He held out his hand to her and she cautiously took it. "Y/N Y/L/N, nice to meet you." They shook hands and Y/N asked, "Was there something you needed?" "Oh sì, you see, my fratello, our two friends, and I moved here recently and I was hoping to make a friend. We only have one class all together and it gets pretty lonely not having anyone else to talk to. Do you mind if I hang out with you?" Y/N was a bit taken aback at the suddeness of the question but quickly smiled and nodded. "I don't mind at all. I know what it's like to be the new kid, I just moved here a few years ago. Besides, I could use a friend too, everyone I went to highschool with is at different schools or not in college at all." "Eccelente, you don't mind if my fratello and friends join us do you?" "No, not at all. The more the merrier." Flavio gave her a bright smile and hooked her arm with his, "Then lead the way Y/N."

Y/N took out her schedule once again and just like earlier that morning kept checking the time and class and checking against her phone. After watching her do that a few times in a row Flavio asked her, "Are you in that much of a rush to get away from me?" Y/N looked up and replied, "What do you mean?" "Well you keep looking at your schedule and then checking the time." "Oh, no I'm not trying to get away from you, I'm just a bit nervous about missing my next class." "Well what time is your next class at?" "Noon" Flavio paused for a moment before saying, "That's not for another two and a half hours." "I know." Y/N looked down at the table, embarrassed over her own anxiety; but Flavio wouldn't let her stay that way for long, "Ragazza, you are way too nervous for your own good. So I, the fabulous and sexy Flavio, am going to help you relax before you have a panic attack." Y/N looked a bit superstitious but replied, "Alright, how do you plan on doing that?" Flavio thought for a moment before grinning and replying, "Easy, I'm going to distract you by talking to you all about everything. You can choose the first subject to talk about." "Okay, how about you tell me about where you're from, what your brother and friends are like, what you like to do; I want to know about the person I'm becoming friends with."

Flavio's grin became even brighter and he happily answered all the questions. "Well my fratello and I are from Italy, but one of our friends is from Japan and the other is from Germany." He took out his phone and pulled up a picture of a dark haired individual. He was smiling but his eyes were serious looking and looked like he was saying 'mess with me and I will cut you in half'. "This is a picture of our friend Kuro Honda, he's the one from Japan. He can be pretty quiet but he has very strong opinions and is not afraid to call out someone when they are wrong. Oh, and he can be a bit perverted." The next photo he pulled up was a picture of a tall, buff looking, blonde dude. "This is our friend from Germany. His name is Lutz Bielshmidt. Even though he looks super tough he's more like a giant, lazy, cat loving teddy bear." The last picture he showed you was a very familiar looking auburn haired guy. "This is my fratello..." "Luciano's your brother?" Flavio looked surprised to hear you say his brother's name and you quickly explained, "I met him at orientation, he introduced himself to me when I was waiting for my mom. He even mentioned that he was waiting for you and your two friends." "Aah, Luciano did mention meeting a pretty girl at orientation, I'm glad it was you." Y/N blushed and asked, "He called me pretty?" "Yes he did and he was very correct." Y/N changed the subject, "Anyways, keep telling me everything." Flavio smiled and continued, "Well Luciano is a bit popular with the ladies, and he really likes throwing knives. He can charm anyone but the moment someone hurts anyone he cares about he takes care of them immediately. And finally, that leaves the handsome me. I love fashion, makeovers, and guys; and my biggest dream is to be a world renowned fashion designer."

A moment after Flavio finished talking three guys came up to the table. As soon as Flavio saw who they were he jumped out of his chair and threw his arms around the one closest to him. "Fratello, I'm so happy you're here!" The other male patted him on the back and quickly escaped the embrace. Flavio wasn't perturbed and turned to the other two males, "Kuro, Lutz, this eccezionale ragazza is our new friend!" He quickly grabbed Y/N, pulled her to her feet, and placed her directly in front of him. "Her name is Y/N Y/L/N. Y/N, this is Kuro and Lutz, the two people I was just telling you about!" Y/N gave them a kind smile and held her hand out. "It's very nice to meet the two of you, I hope we'll get to know each other well." Lutz returned the smile and gently, but firmly, shook her outstretched hand, "I hope for the same." Kuro didn't shake hands but instead bowed and said hello. Y/N inclined her head towards him as well. Luciano got tired of being ignored and stepped in front of the two men. He quickly captured Y/N's hand and brought it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on her knuckles. "It's a pleasure to see you again Y/N." He looked up at her with a charming smile which made her cheeks turn red. "It's nice to see you again as well Luciano."

Everyone sat down again, with Y/N between Flavio and Luciano. Flavio quickly suggested that they should see if they had any classes together with Y/N. It turned out that Flavio only had English with her; Lutz had Theatre with her at noon; Kuro had Math with her the next day; and Luciano had Early Western Civilizations with her after Math.

Y/N looked at her phone to see the time and suddenly realized that she and Lutz only had 8 minutes to get to class. She told them that they had to go and quickly gathered her things. "I'll see you guys tomorrow then, my mom's picking me up after class." Kuro nodded at her, Flavio stood and gave her a giant hug, and Luciano winked at her and said, "See you around ragazza."

Lutz and Y/N arrived outside the classroom to see a sight similar to what had happened earlier in the day. The class was waiting for the teacher to open the door and once he did they filed into the room. Y/N found a seat in the corner and Lutz sat next to her, his long legs slightly cramped in the small aisle.

By the end of class Y/N decided that Professor Miller was her favourite teacher. He made jokes throughout the class and actually got around to the first lesson instead of just going through the syllabus. Lutz seemed to enjoy him too. By the end of class Lutz offered to walk her to her mom's car, which Y/N happily accepted. They talked about how their other classes went but that was it because they quickly arrived at the car. Lutz held his hand out and said, "Well it was nice meeting you Y/N, I look foward to seeing you again. She smiled brightly back at him and shook his hand. "It was pleasure to meet you as well Lutz. I'll maybe see you tomorrow." With that she walked off to go home.
