Love the Mafia: 1984 (A Modern AoT harem romance)

Chapter 1: Who did I save...?

".... And they lived happily ever after, the end!"

I finished reading to the children, closing one of the many fairy tale books in the library. The children smiled, as their parents came to pick them up from the kids area, as one by one, parents come to pick up their children, all but one. A boy, around the age of 8 with bright green eyes, smilng brightly up at me, as I giggle.

"Ne, ne, Nii-chan! Read it again!" My little brother begged.

"When we get home, Hito, I'll gladly read you many more stories as always."

He nods, holding my hand, giggling, as I grab my things and walk out of the library. Our home is across town, not a nice home though... It could be better, then again, we are in the town of Shiganshina... It's not the best place in the State. Just a tiny home, with drunks, drug attics, and occasionally.... Mafia gangs. You always have to stay alert, and always be prepared. I have a switchblade in my pocket/garter¹. And my money is always in my socks/bra. I never walk around with a bag, your begging to get robbed by someone around.

We were about 10 minutes away from our house until we saw gunshots. Loud and clear, and in broad daylight. Many were running away in fear and terror, as motorcycles race past my brother and I. We were coughing, as we fanned away the pollution that was trying to get into our lungs. I knew my brother was scared, I could feel him shake. As I was about to tell him, "everything is ok, don't worry.", I herd a faint "help..". I walked closer to the alley where I heard the voice, looking down at a man holding his wound.

He was a tall blonde man, only wearing his white, now blood stained shirt, and some dress pants. He looks up at me, as his blue eyes shimmer in the light. He reaches his hand out towards me, as my brother takes a step back.

"It's ok, Hito.. we're going to help him.. ok?"

"... o-ok..."

I helped the man up, as I struggled to walk back home, but I managed. I stood in front of my shabby home, as I sigh.

"I'm sorry, this isn't the best place..."

"It's perfectly fine, sir/ma'am, in just grateful that you wanted to help me." He spoke is a calm, deep voice, I couldn't help but blush a little. I could've sworn I saw a faint smirk on his lips, but I ignored it, as I sat the man down in one of the chairs, when my brother walks in holding the med kit.

" Here you go, Nii-chan!" He smiles, holding out the kit.

"Thank you very much, Hito." I smiled back at him, as I pulled out the necessary items, then got to work. At times, the man flinched from the sticking, and cleaning the wound, but at least hes ok now.

"Ok! All done!-" I watched the man pull out blade and a gun out of his pockets, setting them on the table. My brother freezes in place, and I gulp, as the man looks up at me, with a small smile. He runs a hand through his messed up hair, taking his bloody shirt off, as he stands up to his full height.

"Sir/Ma'am? Where is your laundry room?" He asked.

I shakily point down the hallway, where the washer and dryer is, as he nods, walking off to clean his clothes.

Who did I just save...?

¹ Garter: A garter is an article of clothing comprising a narrow band of fabric fastened about the leg to keep up stockings. In the eighteenth to twentieth centuries, they were tied just below the knee, where the leg is most slender, to keep the stocking from slipping. (Extra info) Some use garters as a piece in a lewd outfit, not all garters are worn to keep up stockings :)
