my once sane heart cicero x listener

even beautiful

"Whatever about Jane?" Cicero asks confused

"You know what, first your very protective of me. Which I'm thankful for. But then you ask my dad for a idea of a date?!"

He looks down shyly and kicks the ground under him then looks up at me but refusing to look me in the eyes

"Yeah.."

"How do you feel?" I ask

"Kinda hungry..could go for a sweetrole" he mumbles.

"Not-how do you feel about me?"

"..heh geez Jane..you put poor Cicero on the spot.." He nervously laughs

I look at him then cross my arms, he fiddles around thinking before speaking.

"Cicero is not good with these things..I..I feel as if I should protect you from this cruel world" he gulps

"And?" I ask

"And..I think you are very pretty..beautiful even...and Cicero.." He tries to continue

"That's enough..Cicero how long has this been going on?"

"Since we were teens..just some careless teens.."

I look at him contently and notice he is acting abnormally sane, he seemed like a nervous teen unable to confess.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Because mistress Dupre wouldn't allow it, and now stupid Cicero has to stay with the night mother!" He says angry at himself

I get in front of him and lightly grab his shoulders

"Hey..its alright..Calm down"

"Sorry..Cicero got carried away..heh"

I hug him and he hesitantly hugs back, I look at a book that was on his nightstand and ponder.

"Hey Jane?" Cicero asks

"Yeah?"

"Mushy!" He yells before kissing my cheek and running

I laugh and run after him, but Babbette catches me and turns me around

"Any news?" She asks

"No.."

"Sithis why does it take so long?" She asks herself

"Now may I go after Cicero?"

"Oh no, Astrid needs you"

I groan and give Cicero a sad look before continuing my way to Astrid.
Walking up the stairs and seeing her at the table I sit in front of her and groan again.

"There you are..I'm assuming you were fooling around?" She says not looking up from what she was reading

I nod and she hums

"Jane dear..how do you feel about weddings?" She asks

"Never been to one..aren't you and Wolfy already married?"

"Haha yes, but I'm asking cause you are going to one. You know the usual, eat cake mingle with the guests..kill the bride" she lowers her voice at the last part

"Sounds super casual! And why don't we also just set the grooms pants on fire! Astrid how?" I over exaggerate

"Easy, we dress you up. You play the part as a normal citizen and then when she isn't looking you kill her! But there's a bonus, kill her while she is doing her speech and I'll double it"

"Woah now what do you mean..dress me up?"

"You have to look the part"
