[fic] KHR - Two Hands Make a Pair (Generations: A House Divided)

Title: Two Hands Make a Pair
Characters: Timoteo Vongola, Gianni, Rafaele
Summary: In which the Vongola Ninth's Mist and Rain reach an agreement, and establish a pattern that will carry them forward.
Notes: This fic is part of the Generations project with [personal profile] branchandroot, occurring in the arc "A House Divided." This is set about ten years before "Blood Will Tell." Timoteo has been the Ninth for a little under a decade at this point. This is a sidestory for the arc, focusing pretty much entirely on two of the original characters, and is not necessary to the main thrust of A House Divided--but it may make some character motivations make more sense later. For a character guide, see the appendix (warning: spoilers for the arc!). Written for the prompt "red wine." Contains fraught smut. 3727 words.

Gianni may have been the Vongola Ninth's right hand, and his Mist Guardian besides, but he wasn't too proud to admit it when he was tired. And tonight, he was tired. )
