Like Father, Like Son [Private/Nekros]

THIS STORY STARTED WITH MY DISSECTION

A Perfect day. The weather was gorgeous, the people in town were all happy and bubbly, It was almost too perfect, ya know? Breezes swept through the buildings, cooling Magnolia down from the sun shine that illuminated the City. It was like the heavens aligned everything just right, allowing for a Father and Son to have the best day to bond. To form something from the nothingness of a broken promise and injured relationship. The day was Ahote's, to meet his Father and an unexpected friend. Oh how much fun they could have on such a magnificent day.

Fateful and great, today was a day the father would be home. There was nothing to keep them a part, no jobs and no other side activities, nothing. It would be a time for bonding, growing closer, and developing a Father/Son relationship. Better late than never, right? The child was too excited and went on a head before Jaeger had arrived home. The lovely Kanix regaled him in the child's mood and let him know where to meet. It would be rough at first, or so he thought. This would be their first meeting since Ahotes Mysterious aging. How should the man greet the child? The wizard was bringing home a present for the child, but would it be enough? Could it open the door for him to get a foot in without it being slammed in his face? It was all too much. Himself being only a young adult, he wasn't ready for this. However, as a man, he needs to step up to the responsibility and make the most of it for all of them.

Jaeger and Nava, along with a special little critter, made their way out of the house and through the town. From what he was told, the park was where Ahote would be. Was this his favorite place to be? What was the child like as a 7 year old? All these questions were making the man very nervous and anxious. He had only dreamt of a meeting like this, but as the time grew closer, his nerves were shuddering with the questions he asked himself. He eventually made it to the park, walking side by side with Nava. They scavenged the area, looking for the boy of raven hair and eyes like his. His son was to be around here somewhere, only a matter of time before they met.

The search was short as there was a boy on a bench, holding a stuffed rabbit. He was excitedly sitting there a long the path, waiting. It was him, the child he was to father. The man put on a small smile as he walked a long with his very large and furry pet. His hands were stuffed in his jackets pockets, trying to act cool. One shouldn't show the anxiety when meeting their child, right? He needed to appear strong. Jaeger came to a stop just a short distance away from the child.

”Ahote?”

It wasn't much, just to get the childs attention. The man wasn't all too sure on what he should begin to say.

How will he react?

The small child jumped out of the seat and to the mans legs. His small arms wrapping around into a hug, and his head lifted up with a smile. Ahote sure was excited, meanwhile the man still didn't really now what to say. The child could express himself so easily even though Jaeger was nothing more than a stranger with the title of Father. In spite of that, this small human was showing so much unconditional lover for the young man. Was this being a dad is like? Constantly having a feeling that this person loved you now matter what, to have the rely on you for their needs and whims. The brunette mage took a hand out of his pocket and placed it on his child's head. The child's reaction was making his own anxious feelings to flutter about.

”I.. uh...I'm sorry I haven't been around, Ahote.”

Jaeger stated to the child. Honestly, it wasn't much of an apology considering what's happened. The man was constantly away on jobs and such, trying to provide for the family. He wasn't able to give them the time and attention they deserved. After the apology, Nava nudged the mages elbow, signaling him of the gift that was to be given. Yes, that is right, The father brought his son a gift in hopes to begin anew.

”Oh, yeah. I uh... brought something for you. It was actually one of the reasons I've been gone so long...

Nava here, This big lug.. found himself a mate and they had children of their own. With his permission, I brought home one of the babies, for you to have as a pet.”

The awkward father grabbed the giant baby red panda off its fathers back and held him out for ahote to grab.

Here, have a Giant Red Panda baby.
