Dangerous In Black (one)

Allegro

Allegro had found Greece lying awake when he'd returned last night and didn't have to ask to know that she had had another nightmare. Allegro had kissed her forehead and settled into bed with her, giving her the comfort she required. When she had settled into a regular breathing pattern, Allegro entangled himself from her, stepping out to seek the information he required from his men.
"Well?" He asked, his brother.
Alessando, had led the team that had assessed the building and determined its weaknesses, that was Alessando's specialty.

"The building itself is weak and should be easily contained." Allegro nodded at his brother's words.
"Good. I'm leading a team tomorrow at midnight. Should give us ample time to plan."
Alessando nodded, "Tell Greece she should be able to relax soon enough."
Allegro grinned at his brother before meeting the gaze of his second in command, the man who never seemed to be around when he was. Allegro sighed as Alejandro walked straight past them not bothering to say a word.

"Has he spoken to you?" Allegro couldn't help but ask.
Alessando shrugged, "You know how he gets, he'd more willingly talk to Arturo than me."
Allegro wouldn't admit it, but he missed his brother's counsel. He had always been the one Allegro had depended on to help him with decisions but for the past few weeks, he'd barely seen him and while he knew why, he couldn't understand how he hadn't even bothered to give Greece a chance.

"He's been seeing over the business side of things." Alessando spoke up, "while you've been occupied."
Allegro nodded as his eyes caught sight of Arturo who was spinning a knife around between his fingers.
"The plan for tomorrow? You're going?" Arturo suddenly asked.
Allegro nodded, "I wanna catch the fucker myself," Arturo nodded, understanding.

Allegro turned to Alessando, "I need you there with me," Alessando nodded his head.
Arturo folded his arms which caused the knife he skillfully held between his fingers to flip forward, "Are you going to talk to Alejandro?"
Allegro wanted to roll his eyes at his youngest brother, "This silent disagreement you two have going on needs to come to an end."
Allegro rolled his eyes at his brothers "I'll speak to him."

Both of the brothers nodded their heads and stalked off into different parts of the house. Allegro groaned, he'd spent enough time away from his bedroom and he craved having Greece wrapped in his arms. He opened the door to their room and stripped of his clothes, leaving his boxers and settled back into bed. Immediately his girl cuddled closer, letting out a content sigh.

Allegro was up a mere five hours later and he lay on the bed listening to the shower running having had the idea to go in and invite himself but he knew that Greece wouldn't exactly appreciate that. He smirked imagining the look on her face, shaking his head Allegro stood up to stretch as the shower switched off. He could hear her shuffling about the bathroom before the door squeaked open and Greece popped her head out.

"Babe," she whined softly, and Allegro shook his head at the term of endearment knowing fully well why she used it.
"Forgot your clothes again didn't you?" He chuckled.
"Mhmm." She hummed in response.
"Well what do you want me to do about it?" He asked cheekily.
"Get them for me please."
Allegro tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Let me think about that."

"How about you come and get them yourself."
He heard her groan, "You're so annoying!" She muttered but Allegro could see the grin on her face as she popped her head back inside and opened the door fully.
Allegro's eyes ran up and down her body as she stepped into the room wearing her bra and panty and as his eyes glazed over her, he couldn't help but notice the scars. Of course they didn't make her any less beautiful but the mere sight of them caused Allegro's mood to spiral into anger.

She— in fact, no one, should have had to go through the torture she suffered at the hands of that man and tonight, Allegro was going to make sure he was going to get what was coming to him. She seemed to realize what he was looking at and her face flushed.
"I know they're hideous." She made a move to turn her back to him but he reached her before and latched his hand to hers.
"You're beautiful, I don't care about your scars. Hell I have a fair share of my own." He leaned forward to kiss her cheek.

"It just makes me so angry to think about what you had to go through." He told her softly.
Greece nodded her head in understanding, a small smile filtering onto her lips. Her finger tips trailing his tattoo covered arms and Allegro stared into her pretty blue eyes and smiled.
"I have something for you." He said suddenly.
He saw Greece raise an eyebrow before following Allegro who went into his dresser.

Allegro had been meaning to give this to her for awhile now. A silver necklace with pendant of an 'M' for Martini at the center. All four brothers had one identical to the other and a few days ago Allegro had come across and his first instinct was to give to it to Greece. He opened the box and looked at her expression, "It's gorgeous." She muttered.
Allegro grinned, "I'm glad you like it." He took it out of the box and placed it around her neck. Gently he watched her examine the pendant and smile. Allegro felt relieved, what she didn't know was that all the necklaces had trackers in it, just a little extra security.

Allegro spent the remainder of the day keeping Greece company putting off talking to Alejandro as long as he could but soon he shook his head and stood up. He leaned down and planted a firm kiss on her lips, "I'll see you later."
She nodded her head slowly, "Be careful. I want you to come back to me."
Allegro grinned, "Always, mio amore."

Allegro made his way around the compound until he saw Alejandro a few feet away from him and cautiously approached him.
"I understand your hesitation with her." Allegro spoke up after standing behind his brother.
Swiftly he saw Alejandro whip his head around to face him, "Is that so?" He sneered back.
"Trust doesn't come easy to you." Allegro shrugged, "But it won't change what I feel."

He saw him roll his eyes, "What is it you want Allegro?"
Allegro sighed, "For you to forgive me for not confiding in you first and to try to convince you to just give Greece a chance."
"Are you asking for yourself or her?"
"Both of us." He muttered, "You know she defended you after I wanted to tear your head off when I found her crying."

Alejandro huffed, "I told you I—"
Allegro lifted his hand, "She told me."
Alejandro's eyes widened, "I wouldn't hurt her." He muttered roughly.
Allegro nodded knowing fully well his reasoning behind his actions, "I've planned an attack on her ex boyfriend for tonight. Are you coming?"
Alejandro shrugged, "that depends, will I get to shoot anyone?"
Allegro smirked, "Would it even be fun otherwise?"
