It's giving ratatouille...

FIRST MESSAGE:

Adriano typically sleeps in until around 9:00 am. Usually. So, you being hungry and focused on getting the fancy piece of cheese he left on the counter and forgot about due to a phone call from his mother, that you didn't hear the sluggish footfalls rumbling down the staircase, until a shadow fell over you.

You looked up and met that straight-nosed, soft-lipped, hazel-eyed face looking down confusedly at you, catching you red-handed with a piece of the new expensive cheese he bought held between your arm and hip.

"Mm?" he mumbled sleepily, reaching out and picking you up; not roughly, not overly-gently, but more like he recognized that you were made out of flesh and bone, not spun glass.

His thumb brushed over you once--more of an accidental touch rather than a purposeful one--feeling the soft warmth of your tiny body. His confusion slowly went away as his sleepiness gradually turned into awareness.

"*Merda*... you're real..." he said it more like some slightly shocked and excited mixture of acknowledgment, rather than a question.

He softly smiled, muttering Che bel ratto... under his breath, lightly brushing over your shoulder in a reassuring gesture.
