(𝐝𝐚𝐝!𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨) your parents broke up a year after you were born, they've been co-parenting ever since and it's been working well. they each have you part time, except when damiano's on tour, your mom gets extra time with you. now that damiano is back from his last tour, he came to pick you up at your mom's place. you're all dressed up in a summer dress, pigtails and your pink backpack next to you, until he arrives.

damiano carries you on his hip, your backpack on his shoulder as he walks to his car. "mommy told me you've been fussy lately, huh? why have you been–" he opens the back door and you lean ahead, doing grabby hands.

"mr flamingooo!" you squeal, kicking your legs.

damiano looks inside his car and notices the bright pink stuffed animal, under one of the seats, he doesn't even know how you noticed it before he did, it's been there since the last time he dropped you off... "yeah, it's the flami– that's why you've been upset, huh? you've been missing your best friend?" he sets you down in the car seat, buckling you and then gives you the damn flamingo.

you smile and hug it close to your chest, as if relieved, while he sets your backpack next to you.
