Dadrius Week Day 1: Father's Day
With Father's Day coming, Hunter's anxiety about the whole thing spikes up and he asks his friends for ideas. Shenanigans ensue.
-
Hunter could not see himself going to the man and asking him directly how he felt so a gift for Father’s Day should do the trick.
‘Hey, I know it’s been a couple of months and you are probably just taking care of me till I turn 18 but I think of you as my father, so no pressure, here’s a cake!’
His face flushed in embarrassment and he buried his face in his hands. This would be mortifying, he would not be able to handle Darius looking at him weirdly or worse, telling him straight up that he was being too presumptuous. Nothing ever went right for Hunter and if it did? It inevitably crashed and burned at one point.

“Oh, you too? How is any of that important exactly? There’s a week until the Day of Unity and you two want to discuss my feelings about-”
“About Hunter, yes. Do not go hiding on me now cause we are not moving until you tell me what happened back there,” Raine said dangerously low and came closer, trapping him between themselves and the table, “I had to spill my feelings about why I didn’t want to involve Eda, now it’s your turn.”

Darius let out a chuckle at Hunter’s frown and placed a hand on his shoulder, “Come on then, let me teach you so your friends’ toes are spared.”
“Ha ha, very funny. I wouldn’t have stepped on them that much.”
“Just a little. I am sure they will thank me later.” Darius said as he got up from his seat, and kicked his slippers away.

Dadrius Week Day 6: Palisman
After Hunter has another nightmare about killing Flapjack, Darius shares a story about love and loss, and what's it like to lose your palisman way too soon.
(or Darius tells Hunter how his palisman met their untimely demise at the hands of Belos)
-
“Everything was so formal and grand, you felt like the Titan was blessing you at that moment. That all the stories were true and once part of Belos’ court? Well you might as well be sitting near the throne of God,” Darius hissed through his teeth and closed his eyes for a moment, “What they didn’t tell us is that God did not love all of their creatures equally…”

Summary
Hunter has never called him 'dad' before but when he does in a moment of panic during a nightmare, Darius is faced once again with the intensity of what it means to be a parent.
-
The man glanced down at his sleeping form and he looked small, vulnerable, and trusting Darius to hold him gently after years of getting none of that from Belos. Trusting that the hands currently cradling the back of his head would never force it down, never grip his hair hard enough that it hurts. That a hug would not end up in bruises and reprimands about how weak and childish he was. Hunter trusted him and it was a gift like no other.
