10. Jannik Sinner - italian

hey guys! i'm SO sorry! i haven't updated in like...ages :(  I had exams last week and i'm so happy to be done with them. anyways, hope i can update on time next week.

Jannik had come from his latest tournament and had thrown his clothes on the floor instead of in the laundry basket and left his suitcase in the middle of the floor, where you tripped over it.

Again.

Yes, you understood that he was tired and didn't want to deal with it, but you also understood that you didn't want to deal with a broken nose after falling on your face.

"Jannik!" you called out, picking up the bag and tossing it on the bed.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Why was that on the floor again?" you demanded, pointing at the suitcase.

"I forgot?" he said.

"You're asking me? I almost fell on my face again!" you sighed, "Jannik, we talked about this!"

"I'm sorry. I was just tired."

"I know you are, but I am too! I was studying all day and the last thing my brain wants to think about is the stuff you leave on the floor. The laundry basket literally has wheels, Jannik! Just roll it over here, throw the clothes in, then roll it back! It's more work for the both of us when you throw your dirty clothes on the floor!"

Jannik stared at you for a few seconds with his lips parted, like he wanted to say something but couldn't find the words. "Why are you being so...so....?"

You waited for him to find the right words and folded your arms across your chest, trying to hide the smile on your face.

"Stop being so....prepotente!"

"What?"

Jannik ignored you and instead started ranting at you in Italian. He was frustrated. You knew that when he was frustrated, he tended to switch languages despite knowing you had no idea what he was talking about.

Though you didn't understand a thing, it was adorable. And you were trying really hard to not laugh.

"Jannik," you said, cutting him off. "I have no idea what you just said."

"Non mi importa se non capisci" he muttered.

You chuckled quietly at his anger.

"What is so funny to you?" he asked, brow furrowing.

"You're so adorable when you're trying to stay angry at me. Also, I didn't understand a thing."

"I was yelling at you for being...uh..." He frowned in concentration.

"A pain in the ass?" you added. A big smile grew on his face.

"Kind of. I was about to say something along the lines of...a bitch!" he said, seemingly proud of himself for finding the right word this time.

"Oh my god!" you said, throwing a sock at Jannik. "You jerk!"

"I'm kidding. Well not really, but when I said prepotente, I meant bossy." he added with a toothy smile before opening his arms for you. "Now come give me a hug."

"No." You folded your arms across your chest and avoided eye contact with him. Because knowing him, he was going to make you hug him. Somehow.

"Come on, y/n..." He pouted, "Pretty please?"

You contemplated your decision for a few seconds. "Ugh, fine. I can't stay mad at you when you're cute."

"I'm cute?" He wrinkled his nose. "I thought I was a jerk?"

"You are!"

Jannik stepped forward and wrapped his arms around your waist.

"You're a jerk but I still like you."

"Well that's good," he said, pecking your cheek. "Helps pretty girl from staying mad at me."

"I'm not mad at you," you said. "Just...irritated. Can you please pick up your bag?"

"Cosa certa. Ti voglio bene"

"Thank you." You laid your head on his chest and stood there listening to his steady heartbeat. "Jannik?"

"Yeah?"

"What did you just say?" You looked up at him, seeing his green eyes darting around and his cheeks turning red.

"Not saying." his eyes finally landed on you and he kissed the top of your head. "I'll tell you another day, when I'm ready."
