Long nights during deals in his club,

he would have you wait in his office

where it was safe,

away from any kind of conflict,

men ready to remove you from the building

if any kind of situation broke out and

he couldn't get to you before they could.

Kissing your forehead roughly,

he leaned over your little body to switch

on the lamp next to the luxury leather sofa

where you laid with your favourite stuffed

animal and blankie,

looking up at him as he did it,

a low chuckle leaving his mouth.

"What do ya want little girl?"

He grinned at you.

"Who do ya think you're staring at hm?"

"You daddy"

You answered him quietly,

feeling sleepy and warm,

tucked up in his office.

"You want your paci?"

He asked you lowly,

his intense blue eyes looking

down on you.

"No..."

You trailed off into a short silence

before asking him.

"Will you be really long tonight like

you did last night?"

"I don't know doll"

He told you.

"Who knows what's gonna happen hm?

Every night is different"

"Will you check on me?"

You asked him curiously.

"Because last night you kept sending uncle frost in every hour and he was very intimidating"

"He was just making sure you were okay baby"

He rolled his eyes at your exaggerations.

"Alright?"

"It's not very comfortable in here daddy"

You sighed softly,

refusing to agree with him.

"It's very dark and everything is made

of wood and leather.

Why can't you paint one of the walls pink?"

"Daddys not painting the wall pink"

He scoffed.

"Why don't cha bring some of ya toys down

here next time huh?"

"I can't torture them with this kind of environment"

You furrowed your eyebrows.

"They need a positive place to be daddy"

"Daddys not positive?"

"Daddy..."

You breathed out.

"You're grumpy and angry

and you tell everyone what to do and

if they don't do it,

you lash out at them"

"Oh?"

He raised an eyebrow at you,

a smirk forming on his mouth.

"So that's what ya think of daddy huh?

You think I'm grumpy?"

"You're the grumpiest daddy in the world"

You giggled.

"And you're old and cranky"

"Old?"

He teased you playfully.

"I'm in my prime little girl.

When's the last time you saw an old man

looked as good as this hm?"

"Does a cartoon character count?"

"Cartoon characters don't count"

He chuckled,

kissing your lips softly before pulling away.

"Daddys gonna go now.

You be a good girl and I'll see ya tonight,

alright?"

"Okay daddy"

You whispered.

"Okay my little bunny"

He kissed your forehead again,

leaving you there alone,

eyes heavy with sleep,

closing the door behind him and becoming somebody else entirely.

You were the only person he let

the mask fall for.
