Summary: Danny's life is not what you would call normal, and growing up is not exactly easy when half of your family belongs to the mafia. Or: The AU in which Danny is still Danny, but most of his family is on the other side of the law.
Notes: I've been writing this story for quite some time, and I want to put this first little piece out now to get some reactions and see if anyone's interested in it. This is the first part of the prologue (yes, I wrote a prologue that has more than one part, I don't even know what this is), and I'm not sure how often I'll manage to post, but I still wanted to hear you guys' opinion.
Danny is five years old when he sees his first dead body. Which, no, is not completely right, he’s five years old when he sees a man become a corpse for the first time, but he knows neither of that at the time.
He is visiting his Uncle Salvatore which he is really proud of because he was allowed to come all by himself, even if his mom somehow wasn’t all that happy about it. Danny doesn’t really understand why they don’t see Uncle Salvatore and Aunt Rosalia and his cousins more often, he likes them all a lot and Uncle Salvatore’s house is so cool because it has lots of rooms with many interesting things in them and it’s great to play hide-and-seek in it.
He overheard his mom and dad talking once which he knows he’s not supposed to do, but Debbie wanted him to play with her dolls and Matty was boring because he was still a baby and didn’t do anything fun, so Danny went downstairs and the door to the living room was open. And his mom said that she was afraid sometimes, and that sometimes she hated belonging to - and here she said a few words Danny didn’t know, it sounded a bit like cause a nose tray which didn’t make sense. He wanted to go in and tell his mom he’d protect her, but then he’d have gotten scolded for listening in, so he just returned upstairs where Debbie was still pouting because he wouldn’t play with her stupid dolls.
But then Mom got a phone call yesterday, and when she was finished she told him that Uncle Salvatore really would like to see his favorite nephew, so now he’s here. He got to see the horses already and was allowed to play with the litter of kittens that lived in a corner of the stables, but then his uncle had to go do something and sat Danny down in the library with some books and told him to wait. Which was so boring that Danny decided he’d much rather explore the house some more. He was sure no one would mind.
And so this was how he ended up here, walking into the room where two men he doesn’t know did something that made another man fall to the floor and bleed. Danny stepped into a glass bottle once and he remembers that he cut his foot and there was a lot of blood, but this is much more. He’s not really sure what’s going on, he only knows that they will need lots of band aids for the man, but before he can decide what to do, his uncle is standing behind him, scooping him up and carrying him back to the library, scolding him all the way for not behaving and running off. Danny knows it wasn’t right, his mom told him often enough to mind his uncle, so he apologizes and is quite happy when Uncle Salvatore doesn’t seem to be too angry.
When they return to the library, he asks about the man, and Uncle Salvatore is really nice, and doesn’t treat him like a little kid at all. He explains that the man did something bad and needed to be punished which Danny understands because when he gave all of Debbie’s dolls a haircut once he was punished, too.
Danny says as much to his uncle, and also tells him that he wants to be a policeman when he’s grown up so that he can punish bad men as well, but Uncle Salvatore only laughs at that which confuses Danny a bit.
