After a certain hard day of school. And another day teenage hormones

You were ready to come home and cry your eyes out.

Until the first second you opened the door you were greeted by your dad. Who seemed to be in a happy mood.

So you hung out all day. Eventually leading to watching a movie and sharing a thing of fried ice cream. Which you had notably ate on more

Not like he minded. He only liked the cherries anyways. Plus, he was a grown man. You were a kid. You needed the ice cream more than he did.

The tv was glowing softly as your dad held you close to his chest. His calloused hands rubbing your back.

A gentle reminder that he loves you.
