A/N: This one’s a double drabble.
“You’re mean! I hate you!” Bikky yelled, storming into his room and slamming the door.
Ryo stood in the middle of the living room, looking stunned and disbelieving.
“You okay, bud?” Dee asked.
“I’m an awful parent.”
“No you’re not,” Dee disagreed. “He’s mad at you now, but it won’t last. You did the right thing.”
“Then why do I feel so bad?”
“Because you want the little brat to be happy and right now he isn’t. Didn’t you ever tell your parents you hated them when you wanted something and they said no?”
“Well yes, but… I’m not Bikky’s real father.”
“No, you’re not, but you’re doin’ what’s best for him, whether he sees it that way or not. His real dad let him get away with way too much, but you’re not in this to be the kid’s best friend; sometimes when he wants something the answer’s gonna be no, and that’s somethin’ he’ll just have to get used to. He can’t have everything his own way.”
“I guess you’re right,” Ryo sighed.
“I am. He’ll come out when he gets hungry.”
“Is that your way of asking what’s for dinner?” Ryo teased.
“You know me so well.”
