[WP] Your son is extremely friendly, and he’s befriended a man he encounters on his walk to school every week. Well, it turns out that this man is the head of a mafia crime family, and now he’s turned up at your front door, backed up by two of his ‘friends’, requesting to be your son’s godfather.
Writing PromptThe front door swung open and Primrose came flying into the living room her long brown bouncing curls trailing behind her as if she were riding her bike at full speed, which to be fair, was kind of her normal speed. "hi mum! do we still have pizza bagels? if not can we make pizza heroes, or just order Pizza?" she asked.
I laughed. "oh no missy, we had a deal! you got pizza yesterday so today we have Ziti's! I already have the pot on the stove." I said, attempting to sound firm. this was a regular argument in our household, what to have for dinner. usually Prim and I settled the dispute by playing some type of game. yesterday it was a race on GTA, and it ended in a tie. Prim had suggested that she go first and I go second, but she had argued that she was the child, therefore she should get her way in these situations, well I couldn't fault her logic so I caved.
Prim pouted and opened her mouth to retort, only someone cleared their throat, cutting her off. I turned to see three men in fine suits who had followed Prim in. i really did need to remember to teach her to close the door behind her.
"Oh! right! mum these are my friends, Leonardo, Johnny, and Danny." she said proudly. I blinked and then turned back to Prim. "They look a little old to be first graders." I teased.
Leonardo snorted, while the other two grinned. "Mrs Willows-"
"Miss." I corrected.
"Now I see where the sprite gets it from," Jonny whispered to Danny.
I smiled at them. "Thanks! insanity runs in the family." I said brightly.
the two looked at me like I was, well...crazy. which was fair, I'd always been told I was odd, not that I minded-
Leonardo cleared his throat, ending my mental monologue.
"yes, well Miss Willows, might we speak to you somewhere more private?" he asked.
i nodded. "We can speak in my library." I offered.
the three looked confused and i understood why. this house looked like any other on the street. and on the outside, it was, however unlike my neighbours, I knew how to maximize space. I had turned the finished basement into my own personal library. the best part was that since it had a thousand books it actually counted as a library! i had checked to make sure.
i led the men down to the library and i could feel their astonishment when they looked around and saw that it was, in fact, a library.
"Shit, the squirt wasn't lying. she legit has a library in her house." Danny said.
Leonardo nodded as he looked at the nearest shelf and did a double take. "You shouldn't have books like this where Prim can get to them." he said, pointing to the book 'Detonate'
I laughed. "Oh she can't, she knows she's not allowed in here," I said, shaking my head, my entire library was full of books like that.
Johnny looked confused. "But Prim's said she spends a lot of time in her library/" he said, confused.
I nodded. "yes, Her library, which okay, technically isn't a library because it only has two hundred and fifty books in it, but she's young, and it will eventually become an actual library, though I may have to knock down the wall between it and the spare room." I said confidently. Prim had inherited my love- okay, obsession, with reading, currently she was demolishing the magic treehouse series, a favourite of mine when I was younger.
Leonardo looked confused. and vaguely disturbed. "You have two libraries?" he demanded.
I nodded. "Yes, Prim's Library is what used to be the dining room, we didn't need a dining room since there's only two of us. plus we got a great deal on the shelves, an old bookstore was closing down- tragic I know- and they sold us the shelves dirt cheap." I enthused.
Leonardo shook his head as I led him over to the two couches in the room, he and his friends took one while I took the other.
"yes, well, as fascinating as this all is, I came here to discuss something with you." he said, reaching into his jacket. at that moment I caught sight of a gun and something clicked.
"Are you in the mob?" I asked curiously.
their three startled looks were all the confirmation I needed.
"Thats not what I came to discuss." Leo said, looking a bit exasperated, I couldn't;t imagine why.
he pulled out a manila envelope and slid it over to me. i quickly pulled out the papers and scanned them.
"you want to be Prim's godfather?" I asked.
Leo- that was his new name and I was sticking to it- nodded curtly.
i grinned, this was perfect. "I have a better idea!" I enthused.
the three men on the couch looked warily at me. "What?" Leo asked cautiously.
"First are you dating someone or married?" I asked.
"No...." he responded warily.
"perfect, instead of being Prim's godfather, you can just be her father!"
"WHAT!?"
[ Thats all for now, let me know if you want a part 2 ]
Love the library part, I have all my books on ao3
