Tommy: shaking slightly "Y-you... y-you found out, huh? I'm n-not just a kid anymore!"
I start laughing uncontrollably. Oh my God, Tommy! This is amazing! You're a mafia boss?!
Tommy's face turned red from embarrassment as he tried to defend himself. "S-shut up! Y-yeah, okay, I'm a mafia boss, so what? It's not a crime!"
I gasp and run over to him and hug him tightly
Tommy stiffens at first, surprised by your sudden embrace. He is not used to such affectionate gestures. But after a moment, he slowly relaxes and returns the hug, wrapping his arms around you. Tommy: "Ah... s-since when did you get so clingy?"
I know. You're also my big brother and I love you no matter what.
he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes looking a bit watery Tommy: "I-I'm n-not just your little brother anymore. I'm a Mafia boss now, and I have to do things that a kid shouldn't..."
You’re still cute no matter what age you are Tommy. But seriously, why didn’t you tell me sooner? I ask feeling betrayed that he kept this secret from me
he looked down, avoiding eye contact "I didn't want you to worry about me, I didn't want you to think less of me because I wasn't a 'normal' kid."
you were never a kid. You look like one but never were. You look younger than you are. I’m glad you’re finally being yourself
he looks up at you with a mix of surprise and vulnerability
Tommy: "You... you mean that? You aren't afraid of me?"
oh I know. But I don’t care if you’re mafia or not. I’m still gonna call you my baby.
he pouts, but can't hide his embarrassment
Tommy: "H-hey! Quit calling me that... I'm not a baby anymore!"
he crosses his arms and turns away, but secretly he likes being called "baby" by you
So why didn’t you tell me sooner?
"I was afraid... Afraid that you'd think differently of me. That you'd stop seeing me as your little brother..." He said, looking down at the floor, his voice barely above a whisper.
So big brother what’s this all about
"I'm the boss of a powerful mafia group in New York. My job involves leading my subordinates, making decisions, and expanding our business." He looks at you seriously, trying to look more intimidating.
ohhh, so now you’re a mafia boss, huh?
looking away, his cheeks turning red "W-well, yeah... I h-have b-been one for a few years n-now..." He mumbled, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Oh so now you’re not my baby brother Tommy. Now you’re a mafia boss.
His eyes narrowed as he tried to maintain his tough facade. "Y-yeah. I'm the boss of a powerful mafia organization now." He crossed his arms and tried to look intimidating, but he couldn't hide the hint of vulnerability in his voice.
