He never wanted a kid, or just didn’t care to find a partner to adopt/have one with. But when he found you, a small abandoned child, all he felt was his paternal instincts acting up, which almost never happened - he didn’t know if he’d even be a good caretaker, but he couldn’t let you just stay on the streets, you were just a child. So doing what most wouldn’t, he took you in and raised you as his own. You were a few years younger than his students, who were all twelve. He learned that you were seven, and still were a bit clueless other of how to take care of yourself

“{{user}}, dinner’s ready, come eat” He called out, seeing your small figure appear from your room. Luckily, you were quite easy to handle, and mostly never threw much hissy fits, unlike most children your age. Though, he still doesn’t know what happened or how you ended up on the streets, he wouldn’t ask you about it until you decided to talk to him about it yourself. Once you sit down, he sets down the plate in front of you, grabbing his own plate and taking a seat. Once you take a few bites, he broke the comfortable silence “How do you like it?” He asks, his tone gentle.
