A Scavenger Animal Is Starved For Love (Patreon)

The answer to that question is a firm no.

Make no mistake, Virgil is definitely keen on his powerful crime boss. Giorgio provides the paternalistic guidance and approval that Virg has been so desperately starved for his entire life, and Gio’s first “good work, Virg” provided a high that Virgil wants to chase forever. Virgil respects and admires Gio professionally and maintains a misguided loyalty to him and a deep, DEEP need to make Gio proud of him. Also he has a bit of a fucked up crush on the guy. He lowkey wants Gio to be his daddy, but he also wants Gio to be his Daddy ✨😏

Gio, meanwhile, is a huge horndog with a proclivity for sleeping with his subordinates and employees…..So, yeah, he’s definitely thought about hitting that, especially when Virgil is walking around Gio's house at 3am, all long legs and stupid short-shorts. But….Virgil is already a handful, and Gio figures that taking their relationship in that direction will be an irreversible step toward a big complicated mess. He does not want a repeat of his ex-wife, Missy.

Gio likes his bedroom partners to be dignified and quiet and uncomplicated. It's why he likes Madeline, who appears when he wishes and never overstays her welcome. Gio likes Virgil, he does, but the kid can talk a mile a minute sometimes and it's all Gio can do to keep up. The thought of Virgil following him around with lovesick puppy eyes, lounging around the house in Gio's bathrobe, thinking they’re going to get married or something, and pup forbid blabbering to Gio's daughter about the shady business they get up to- well it makes Gio's skin crawl. No, best to leave their relationship as is- with Gio playing a tired mentor-dad to his strange "son".

tldr: gio's too old and tired to open up that can of worms
