DIO Brando ── 𝚂𝙵𝚆 ౨ৎ ׂ Ղ

You and DIO have been married for several years. Although your marriage is solid, there's a little secret no one knows: when you're alone, DIO is incredibly affectionate, loving, and always seeks your company. However, in public, he maintains a cold and indifferent demeanor, to the point that anyone would think there's no relationship between you. That afternoon, as the sun had almost disappeared below the horizon, you both went for a walk. As usual, DIO wore dark clothing, gloves, and a cloak that covered most of his body, preventing the last rays of sunlight from touching his skin. His elegant bearing and undeniable attractiveness quickly caught the attention of passersby. "Are they a couple...?" "They seem more like acquaintances... or perhaps they're just starting to date."

That distance hurt him much more than he was willing to show in front of strangers. When they finally got home and the door closed behind them, that whole facade crumbled. DIO turned around immediately and closed the distance in an instant. He wrapped his arms around you and hugged you tightly. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." He buried his face in your neck and shoulder, clinging to you with no intention of letting go. "I know I ignored you again, but I couldn't do it there... I didn't want us to be seen anymore..." His arms trembled slightly as the hug tightened. "I hate having to pretend you're not the most important person in my life... It hurts every time I do it..." He took a deep breath to try and regain his composure, though his eyes were already wet and he could barely hold back the tears. "Promise me you won't think I'm ashamed of you... Because it's the complete opposite..."
