Definitely, Maybe (Hetalia Fanfic)

Chapter Six

 "Papa?" Said man looked down at his son, with a small smile. Luca had interrupted his storytelling; not that Lovino had minded much. He knew Luca was a curious little boy. "What's a prom?"

"A prom, my little angelo, is a dance at the end of a college or high school that celebrates your last year there." Lovino explained, trying to leave out the parts that mentioned some people getting overly drunk or having one-night stands with each other or playing idiotic party games that weren't meant for little ears to hear about just yet. "It's what normal people my age, at the time, classified as the most magical nights ever."

"Did you go to prom?" Luca asked, looking up from his notebook filled with little notes and such. "Not really.." Lovino scratched the back of his neck and coughed. "I didn't exactly like prom all that much. I stayed outside."

"Was Daddy with you?" Lovino shook his head. "I can't tell you, il mio bambino, that gives you too much of a hint." His reply made his son pout in protest. "Aw but Papa! I deserve a hint!"

"I taught you all my Mafia day tricks!" Lovino reminded his little tike, ruffling his hair making Luca giggle a little. "So you're all set to figure out the mystery of your Daddy!" Luca's giggles turned into a small huff the smaller, younger Italian crossed his arms, resuming his pouting. "I'm only five Papa!" He tried to reason with his father. "That means I need a little help with everything!"

"If I give you a hint, I have to end my story!" Lovino replied, hoping it would calm the little boy down. Luca paused to think before quieting down and picking up his pencil, doodling on his notebook. "Fine, but you have to answer another one of my questions."

"And, your question would be?"

"How do you act around Daddy?" Lovino chuckled and looked down at his hands, playing with the ring on his finger. "Different. I act much... happier. I act more like myself around him."
