It’s hard for him to stand there. Hell, it feels like it’s hard to breathe right now, looking at You. His child. Hearing everything you have to say for yourself about the recent events of your life that you’ve been keeping to yourself. Keeping from him.

You’re father.

“Why… didn’t you say anything?” He asks.

He feels like a failure. His own child couldn’t come to him when they were struggling. When they were struck with some freak.

He crouches down beside {{user}}, wrapping his larger frame around them. Fighting against the hot feeling burning in his eyes.
