Y/n POV

After Illumi had left for his job, I made sure to keep D/n busy for the day. Before he had returned home I made sure to send her out shopping with Canary while I had waited up in the bedroom (i don't remember if they share a room but they do now so).

I sat down on the bed, staring at the wall.  How exactly am I supposed to talk to this totally corrupted man?

As I spiraled into my own thoughts I hadn't even noticed the bedroom door open and close again.

"What is it we needed to talk about," a smooth voice came from behind me.

I sighed before turning to face him.

"Sit down Illumi."

He came over towards the bed before taking a seat, one leg crossed over the other.

"So? Go on."

"Well obviously I don't want you taking D/n anywhere near your jobs. And that's because I don't want her traumatized."

Illumi narrowed his eyes at me like he has done so many times before as his brows furrowed.

it's character development. trauma = plot armor = main character fr"

(jkjk)

(take two)

" 'Traumatize her'? It's to make her stronger."

"Illumi, she's seven," I say, rising from my spot on the bed.  "No child should have to live a life the way you and your siblings did."

Uh oh. I could feel Illumi's glare burning holes into my back.

"Do not speak of us that way.  Us Zoldycks pride ourselves on-"

"Yeah yeah you guys are top assassins or whatever I get it.  Sorry for that comment but I still don't get why my daughter has to be part of any of this," I interrupt, becoming agitated.

"Isn't it obvious Y/n?" he asks, becoming annoyed as well, though he was hard to read.  "That girl has Zoldyck blood in her veins.  MY blood.  When she becomes stronger, she will serve as a hire to our family name."

Then, I snapped.

"SO THIS IS WHAT THIS ABOUT? YOUR FUCKING FAMILY HIERARCHY? WELL NEWS FLASH ILLUMI, WE'RE NOT MARRIED WHICH MEANS MY DAUGHTER AND I DONT HAVE TO CONFORM TO ANY OF YOUR DERANGED BELIEFS!"

Then I paused.  I let out a sigh before saying "I told D/n we wouldn't fight anymore.  It make's her upset."

"Well maybe if you let me do what I need to you wouldn't have to worry about her getting upset."

I deadpanned. "Just because you need an emotional laxative for your emotional constipation does NOT mean D/n has to turn out the same way."

His brows furrowed once again as I made my way towards the bedroom door.

"She wishes for us to live like a normal family Illumi," I say without turning back.  "I wish I could fix you so it could happen."
