Mio Zio!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Largo family or other characters in Repo! The Genetic Opera. I do however own my OC: Isabel Leóm.
Wide blue eyes studied a white-washed room in the Largo's family estate. The little girl seemed to become more frightened at each boom of thunder that exploded across the rainy night sky. She bit her lip furiously, trying to stifle her cries. Her zia and other zio didn't like it when she woke them up. Instead, she pulled the pale pink quilt covering her small body over head and tried to bear it on her own.
She yelled slightly as a boom of thunder could be heard close to her window. Isabel tensed as she heard the door to her room open.
Oh, they're going to be so-a mad at me, she thought, frightened.
However, Luigi's angry voice or Carmella's irritated tone did not interrupt her thoughts. A gentle, loving voice did.
"Mia nipote, what is-a wrong?" Pavi asked her, a frown subtly creasing the mouth of his mask.
Isabel dared herself to peek over the quilt and stared at her beloved uncle through tear-stained lashes. "I-. . . I. . ." she could barely speak for her terror was too great. She pointed to the window.
"The-a thunder? It's scaring you?"
Isabel nodded weakly. Pavi smiled softly and pulled her into an embrace, stroking her black hair soothingly.
"It's all right. The-a Pavi is here. There is-a nothing to worry about, mia nipote," he whispered.
Isabel felt herself slowly relax as her zio hummed her a lullaby. She buried her face into his jacket, the smell of his cologne bringing her a sense of comforting familiarity. "M-Mio zio?" she asked quietly.
"Yes?"
"C-Could you. . . stay-a with me?"
"Of-a course I can," Pavi smiled warmly.
Isabel smiled widely and immediately moved to give her zio room. When he got into the bed, Isabel leaned her head on his shoulder contently and soon, she fell asleep. Pavi stared down at her round, innocent face, chuckling softly.
"Ti voglio bene, mia nipote," he said before kissing her forehead.
A/N: Whew, the first chapter's down! Finally! :D I've been thinking about publishing these one-shots for a while now since a) Pavi is one of my fav characters in Repo! and b) I always saw him as having a soft side so... Mio zio! was born. I hope y'all enjoyed it. I should be able to publish a new one-shot once every two weeks (since I am pretty preoccupied with my Bumblebee/OC Transformers fanfic) so... yeah. Please review!
Italian Translations: zia- aunt, zio-uncle, mia nipote- my niece, Ti voglio bene- I love you
Theme Song: In My Arms- Plumb
"Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; so He guides them to their desired haven"- Psalm 107: 29-30
God bless all of you!
