"You have to go down to the den," Sorbet crossed his arms in the doorway of their room. Sorbet didn't trust leaving Gelato alone after the other night. He had to be watched at all times.

"No," Gelato sat down on the bed and crossed his leg over the other.

"Gelato, you're not staying up here alone." Sorbet was not going to give Gelato the chance to try again. He'd already hidden the switchblade with Prosciutto since it would be the last place Gelato would think to look for it.

"Watch me," Gelato countered sassily.

"Alright, fine," Sorbet walked over to the bed towards Gelato. If he was going to be pissy about it, then he'd just force him.

"Bet, what are you doing?" Gelato said as Sorbet picked him up off the bed and swung him over his shoulder. "Bet! Put me down!"

Sorbet walked out the door and down the hall while Gelato fought the whole way. Melone and Ghiaccio were in the hallway. Ghiaccio smirked at the display while Melone clapped his hands.

"Di molto! You're back!" Melone waved, grinning broadly.

"Fuck you, Mel! And wipe that smirk off your face, Ghiaccio, or I'll wipe it off for you!" Gelato flipped them both off.

"Keep flailing and you're gonna fall down the stairs, dumbass," Ghiaccio laughed.

"I love you, Lati!" Melone laughed. Gelato screamed and kicked more as they carefully descended the staircase.

"Gelato! Knock it off!" Sorbet said, bouncing him once on his shoulder. "I'm not leaving you unattended. You're going to stay in the den where Illuso and Risotto can keep an eye on you." Sorbet shifted Gelato on his shoulder as Formaggio watched snickering from the downstairs hall.

"Sorbet, I swear to god I will cut your balls off and feed them to you if you don't put me down!!"

"I think you'd regret that later, my love," Sorbet said as he walked past Formaggio.

"At least I'd have fun doing it!"

"I know you would, baby," Sorbet opened the door to the den and walked them inside. He walked over to the couch and dropped Gelato like a bag of potatoes onto it. He immediately jumped up and tried to push past Sorbet but his lover pushed him roughly back onto the couch.

"Gelly—!"

"Bet!"

"Stop fighting me! You're staying in here," Sorbet put his hands on Gelato's shoulders holding him in place.

"I'm not staying with him!" Gelato snapped as he looked over at Risotto who was sitting quietly at his desk watching the drama unfold. Illuso sat enraptured by their spectacle at a desk nearby with several monitors. Melone, Ghiaccio, and Formaggio entered the den to watch.

"Well, figure it out cause you're here for the next several hours," Sorbet said and summoned his stand Blue Foundation and stared into his squirming lover's eyes. He burrowed deep inside his mind and began to pull at different emotions inside him. Gelato was never good at fighting against his manipulation. He didn't have great mental defenses despite Sorbet's attempts to teach him. He wanted to protect him from stand attacks but he was glad now that he didn't have a defense against it. He created a calm inside Gelato and he physically relaxed.

"Fuck you, Sorbet," Gelato said calmly.

"You already did, my love," Sorbet smiled but continued to stare him down. Breaking eye contact would release his hold over him.
