Go Get Your Gun (1/?)

I am having SO MUCH FUN with this prompt, oh man. Thank you so much, OP, for requesting this. Incidentally, OP, are there any pairings you don't like, so I'd know what to avoid? 'cause I'm aware that left to my own devices, I'm likely to choose some weird ships, haha.
I hope I don't run out of creative insults for Romano.
Sometimes, Alfred thought, if you wanted something done right, you had to do it yourself.
He took one last look in the mirror, drinking in his reflection before shooting it a grin and a thumbs up. Sure, it wasn't a slick three piece, but he liked to think he looked good in the bomber jacket and jeans. Friendly, approachable, unconventional - but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
And being underestimated could come in handy, too.
"Oh yeah, who's the boss?" If there was a little ass shake accompanying the words, well, he wasn't owning up to it. "That's right. Me." And with that parting shot to an empty room, Alfred F. Jones left his apartment.
------
Not for the first time, Lovino questioned whether he was doing the right thing. Not so much about offing that bastardo Marco Guasconi, who had it coming the first time he'd been forced to watch Feliciano take on an assignment the sadistic pig-licker knew Feliciano couldn't complete. Just to watch Feliciano cry and beg for mercy.
Shit-sucking sonuvva whore. May wolves chew on his dick while he burned in the pits of hell, amen.
No, he just wondered whether he should have waited. Jones had been convenient because he was an outsider with the strength and ability to take out the top echelon. But therein also lay the problem. Jones was an outsider who had no fucking clue about the mafia other than a vague notion that they "did bad things."
Quote, unquote. Bash his head against hard surface repeatedly.
"Hey! Lovino, right? You know, you shouldn't keep hitting your head against the wall like that, you'll hurt yourself." Speaking of...
Ladies and gentlemen, their new overlord had arrived.
"Jones. ...Jones, what are you wearing."
The kid automatically looked down at himself. Lovino snorted at the sight. What, did the kid dress himself in the dark or something? You'd think a person would remember his own outfit. "Huh? Oh, yeah! Isn't it awesome?"
Awesome. Yeah, no, and he heard that word far too often from Beilschmidt already. The deranged one, not the one getting fucked by his brother. (Ugh.) His lips curled into a sneer as he decided whether to be blunt or politic before-- ah shit, he supposed he should play nice with his new boss for awhile at least. He felt so magnanimous. "It's a t-shirt. And jeans. And ratty sneakers."
"Hey, don't dis the sneakers! They've gotten me out of many a tough spot."
"You couldn't have worn a fucking suit or something?"
Jones seemed to actually consider that for a moment. "Nah, this is more comfy. I don't feel like I can breathe in a suit, ya know?"
Lovino did, but he wasn't sure whether he could forgive flying in the face of fashion and tradition. "Whatever, it's too late to change, anyway. Next time, you're wearing a suit."
Ugh, the kid was like an overeager puppy the way he perked right up. "So you're taking me to headquarters, right? I get to meet with everyone? I've got these great ideas I can't wait to share."
"Yes, we're going to HQ. No, we're not meeting everyone, just the more important bastards. Hold off on the idea sharing until they're more used to you."
Damage control, and then getting it through the idiot's thick head the proper way to run a Family.
And some new clothes. Definitely some new clothes.
Pfft, Alfred really would admire himself in the mirror and talk to himself and shit. XD And poor Romano has to help him fix his image; somehow I don't think he's the type to be a calm and patient teacher, you know? OTL ... I'm afraid to ask what kind of great ideas Alfred has to share, but I'm sure they'll be "awesome" by some definition. *facepalms*
This isn't the kind of approach I imagined when I read the prompt, but I like it, author!anon. :D
OP is here!!!!!<3<3

OMG author!anon! My WHOLE weekend is made!!!<3 I love how you opened this with Alfred admiring himself, that's totally what I would imagine him say. And being underestimated could come in handy, too. This shows Alfred has brain, not just being lucky. He has all confidence and its very charming >//<
I also love your Romano, in-character and his insults are creative and funny. Alfred and Romano's interaction were appropriate and cute too! I love how he is like a puppy trainer <3 Oh also how he and Feliciano are going to use their fashion sense to rescue their new boss's outfit XDD
Hold off on the idea sharing until they're more used to you. Yes you're right Romano, you need to train the puppy so that he doesn't jump and do overly-friendly licking on everyone <3
I am really glad that you enjoy writing this fill! >////< This proves that I am not the only one who like the idea <3 As for the question, I assume you are the anon who asked the pairing question before? (If not, please forgive me) Other than the main pairings (Russia/America/England?), I don't really have any pairings I don't like. So Author!Anon please feel free to writing any side pairings <3

Authornon here, and yeah, also the anon who was asking about RusAmEng earlier. (Ahaha, whoops, probably should have mentioned that before.) I'm glad you're liking it so far! You're definitely not the only one who likes the idea, it is an AWESOME idea. (though you are always totally free to whack me over the head one if I start getting distracted with mafia-ness instead of actually. getting Russia and America and England if it works - I still want to do the double-teaming thing together. I WILL PROBABLY NEED IT.)
Ah, good to know about the pairings! I will try not to go too wild with your permission. *grin*

OP here. Sure I'll make sure you get Russia and America (and England) in bed ;) But some scenes of Alfred making his way in the mafia-world and mafia-ness in general sounds so good! I think you did well in this first part and also I love your humor in this <3

OMG this! Its hilarious but little lines just make me run a bit cold in the veins (the one that showed Al had a brain. . .GJ on that!) ..like your just WAITING for us to let down our guard and then bam something really incredibly important happens.
Casts in vote for Russia/America or Romano/America
