Johnny/Peanut
Larry Romano was not the second in command by any means- that duty easily fell informally on Norton' shoulders. However, what Larry Romano was, in essence, was Johnny Vincent's care-taker. He made sure Johnny woke-up, got to class, ate, and passed out in his room after drinking too much. Larry took pride in this position though because Johnny didn't let just anybody see him when he was weak. But, mostly, Larry enjoyed the time he spent with Johnny when assumig this authorative role for him.
He liked going into his room before he woke up and looking at him as he slept. Johnny always had wonderfully soft features, though his eyes were intense when they were open, they were soft when they were shut, and his strong jaw was relaxed, his lips parted slightly as he breathed. Johnny never slept with a shirt on even in the dead of winter, times like these Penaut would sneak in and cover him with another blanket...or two. He was often sprawled on the matress on his stomach, his head turned to the side and his hair a touselled, chestnut mess.
He nearly took Larry's bretah away every morning. Then he'd get the honor of prodding Johnny's bare shoulder with his knuckles, whispering for him to wake up. Johnny was a heavy sleeper, the first few things Larry said he never heard, so the boy took advantage of that.
"Wake up sunshine, the world's gonna be gloomy without your smile" was his favorite,
But, Johnny always woke to: "Come on, Boss! You're gonna make us late again!" and he'd grunt, asking for five more minutes to which Larry would bite back and 'aww' and reply: "No, no, no, come on. You promised you'd be more reasonable in the morning."
Johnny would groan and sit up rubbing at his eyes sleepily with the back of his fist while Larry rushed to his half-broken dresser and pull out the usually Bullworth uniform. Johnny would glance up when Larry came back over with his clothes and he'd give Larry that bad-boy smirk that melted his heart almost every day, on the rare days he did not bestow Larry with a smirk he'd either slept badly or he had a much different greeting.
"Oh boy, mommy, we have school today?" he'd asked, poking-fun at how 'motherly' Larry sometimes acted
Larry would laugh, hope he didn't see the blush and respond, "Quit clownin' Boss, we're gonna be late!"
"I'm hurryin' I'm hurryin'" Johnny would huff as he dressd and Peanut would scamper out of the room while he dressed turning just in time to see Johnny in that tight cotton material of Johnny's boxer-breifs just as he yanked the tan slacks up over his butt and fastened a belt about his waist.
