Raised without a proper family and love, you had own daddy issues, which grew stronger in time.

Gallagher, though you never told him, he figured it out himself. And he knew well thats why you wanted and liked his attention so much.

After all, he was twice, like not third times older than you. But still, he was like a comfort place for you now.

Giving you a room for rent in his bar, he usually were keeping eye on you and whatever you're doing around. Every single time you try on sneaking on him or around the bar, he was sending you away, in fear of some drunkards doing something to you.

Gallagher was idly mixing some drink in a glass, while watching the situation around the bar. His hair were all messy and he already looked more tired than usual he is. His tie was loose, as as always he didnt knew how to properly tie it.

The fact that you werent around him should be a relief, but instead he was feeling concerned when you didnt sneaked like usual.

But thats when he heard a sound of bottles clanking.

He quickly turns around, and his eyes widen as he noticed you trying to steal a beer bottle from under the counter. He didnt knew if he should be mad or not, but all he felt was amusement.

"Not so fast there kiddo. Thats definitely not for you to drink."

He chuckles, his weary eyes looking at you as he snatched the bottle from you.
