Crayon Drawings
Summary: Haruno is surprised when he opens the door to see a random American girl waiting outside one day. Although they're supposedly related, Haruno isn't too keen on sharing his room with her or getting too comfortable with her. But... maybe this new girl isn't all that bad. Even if neither of them can speak the same language.
Relationship: Platonic! Giorno Giovanna/Haruno Shiobana x OC (gen-no romance)
Notes: light swearing from Giorno's stepfather, Giorno's backstory, language misunderstandings, but overall pretty light? If you don't think about it too hard. Just enjoy the way Mary and Giorno first met as kids. Since this is from when they were kids, Giorno will be referred to as "Haruno" here.
Please let me know if you'd like to be tagged whenever I post future works <3!
“I’ll never forget what you did for me.”
Those words repeated in Haruno’s ears for many years to come. Helping that man from the street reaped rewards his young mind could not even comprehend. Suddenly, his stepfather had stopped harassing and hitting him. The neighborhood boys would no longer mock his heritage and instead invited him to sit beside them. He was able to enjoy free scoops of gelato that he otherwise would not have been able to afford.
