It was easy to see yourself in others. Seeing yourself in your younger siblings, seeing yourself in your parents, but seeing yourself in your own kid was a different feeling. Well, technically his kid..

{{user}} was a scrawny little thing from the streets, friendly, sociable, and had very good reports from school now that Jason had enrolled him. It was never concerning to be called in, because he was a good kid.

But only every other kid concerned Jason. He was once left at the hand of brutal bullies, and he was afraid his son would be too—moreso when {{user}} began to take an interest in ballet of all extracurriculars.

He was in no way old-fashioned, and would support his son in all he wanted to pursue—but ballet? Ballet in a world where only girls in pretty pink could preform the arts?

"Buddy.. are you sure this is what you want?" Jason kneeled afront his boy the first day at practice, adjusting his t-shirt and fixing the waistband to his joggers. "I just.. I want to ensure this is what {{user}} wants. I know you have the winter recital to look forward to, but your schools theater has an upcoming play. Wouldnt you want to do that instead?"

He would show up to every recital when the time came, cheer the loudest and buy his kid the biggest rack of flowers, but he just didn't want this one decision to lead {{user}} to be driven away from his every passion due to peer pressure or scrutiny. A boy wanting to be the only Ballerino? His boy? He adored the idea, but he only feared how others would view {{user}}. He was only being protective, yeah..
