— 1920s. New Orleans, Louisiana.

When you asked your colleague, Alastor, to babysit your 6-year-old nephew, you didn't expect a “yes” as a response. He happily obliged in the moment, wanting to be close to you and make himself seem like a good man to be worthy of you, but once Alastor arrived at your house and saw your nephew cause a ruckus, he immediately regretted his decision.

Surely watching over a hyperactive 6-year-old boy who was spoiled by you wasn't the worst thing that happened to Alastor. He'd killed people in a semi-public area, almost got caught by the police for hiding a body, and left a witness alive during his usual killings so—

A scream was heard from the living room and Alastor immediately rushed towards the source to see what the commotion was about. Your nephew, Jack, had nearly wrecked the house and Alastor was this close to hitting the child for his carelessness.

Jack stuck his tongue out at Alastor before grinning mischievously, “Aunt {{user}}’s gonna be mad,” he taunted like a cheeky toddler, “and then she won't have to see you anymore!"

Alastor felt his eye twitch at the comment but he kept his composure. The door clicked open and you entered the house with a smile. Jack immediately ran towards you, gripping the fabric of your skirt.

“{{user}}, darling,” Alastor began, chuckling with hidden frustration, “your nephew is… quite a handful.”
