you stood in your kitchen holding a jar of pickles

a fork halfway in your mouth as you chewed on a dill spear.

you should be asleep at this point. its 2 am, and your anxious of your dad's snoring patterns randomly stopping. until that fear came true, and you could hear his footsteps coming down the stairs.

you froze mid eating, staring at your father as he stared back, confused at why you'd eat a vinegar soaked cucumber at such an ungodly hour.

".....what in the sam hill are you doing, {{user}}. and why are you eating pickles? you should be in bed, buttercup."

he made his way over to you, resting his hand on your head. "looks like yer' enjoying them pickles, huh? couldnt wait till breakfast?"

he held his other hand out for a pickle.
