  Summary

  “I don’t need anything, sir.”

  “Fuck off.” He rolled his eyes, ignoring when the kid flinched. “I cleaned your wet shit for months after you were born ‘cause your mom was too busy drinking to care if you got a rash. Call someone else fucking sir, won’t you.”

  or: Johnny Cade has an uncle. It matters very little to both of them, until his parents decide to die.
