Frank the Moose Minotaur

Female Reader x Male Monster

Teaching elementary school has been fine for the most part. It's always been your dream, and being able to teach a school as prestigious as Croftwood Academy is another bonus. You've never worked at a school where you didn't need to buy your own supplies before. It was a miracle you got the job, so you make sure to be extra careful about doing it. The kids are wonderful, and you don't have any real reason to be concerned.

Until one day.

A small fight has broken out between two girls in the class. You and your teaching aide, Louis, have to pull them apart. "She called me the 'B' word!" one girl is crying.

The other girl has tears in her eyes, but she looks furious. "No I didn't!" she sniffles. "'Fucker' doesn't start with 'B'!"

You and Louis exchange shocked and uncertain looks. This will be the first time you have to call in parents to discuss a child's behavior, and you schedule an evening meeting. Gigi, the girl who said 'motherfucker', is usually very sweet and bright. She follows you around like a puppy most days, and is happy to sit and talk with you while waiting to be picked up at the end of the day. She always has the nicest things, but most of the kids at Croftwood did. Gigi is a moose minotaur, and is getting picked on recently because she's the tallest girl in class. You've tried your best to reassure her that, no matter what, her height is just part of what makes her special. You suppose that's why she clings to you.

"I've heard Gigi's father is quite formidable," Louis whispers as you wait for the parents to show up. Gigi is in the play section of the classroom, inside the treehouse.

"I figured most of the parents would be," you reply just as quietly.

Louis shakes his head. "No, I mean..." He looks around and leans in. "He's Frank 'The Tank' Leonetti. He owns the most successful restaurant in town, the mall, and a couple of other places."

"Why do I know that name?" you whisper. "Aside from Gigi's papers, I mean."

"He's supposedly linked to the Mafia," Louis hisses.

Your eyes widen. "You have to be joking! That is not funny!"

There's a knock at the door that halts your conversation and Gigi jumps up with glee, rushing to the door. "Daddy!"

The massive figure standing just outside the doorway stoops down and enters sideways as he comes into the room. He's massive!

"There's my sweetheart," Frank coos as he picks Gigi up. "Now, little Giovanna Isabelle, why am I here today?"

Gigi pouts and looks down. "I got into a fight."

"I see." He strides into the room, smelling like clean linen, roses, and a touch of cigar smoke. "Sorry I'm a bit late. Traffic was horrible."

You rush to stand up. "It always is after school." You approach him, feeling very diminutive in his presence, and extend your hand as you introduce yourself. "It's very nice to meet you, Mr. Leonetti."

His huge hand completely envelops yours as he shakes you. "Same to you. My little Gigi speaks of you constantly. She's quite enamored of you." His deep voice is rich and charming to listen to.

"Let's sit over here. I have coffee if you'd like some."

"No thank you. I would love some, but I'm afraid it tears me up a bit too much."

He takes a seat and you sit across from him. Louis is tidying up the room a bit, staying close for support if Frank should have any questions about the fight. "I'm sure you're well aware that recently, Gigi has been the target of some bullying, which I've tried to keep from happening."
