Asher's POV

"Dad?" I call before entering my parents room. "What's up bubba?" They both say at the same time sending each other glares. "I thought we agreed, I'm dad" my dad? whispers towards?
"No I'm dad you're papa or father" the other half snaps back making me rub my temple in ultimate confusion. "I am 15 yet I still don't know what to call you" I giggle making them both stop their angry glares to turn and look at me.

"You're bottom so you're papa" Dad smirks towards papa... I guess? "I'm not always bottom you know!" Papa snaps back as they start getting closer to each other. "C-can I just ask a question please" I stutter not wanting to get in the way of their moment.

They both stare at each other awkwardly before turning to me "yes sorry dear" they both chuckle waiting for me to start. "You know how I haven't been able to.... go to school in a week... d-do you think maybe I can start again tomorrow?" I ask fiddling with my fingers.

I look up and the usual smiles on their faces were gone meaning that it probably wasn't going to happen. I had a hard enough time convincing Atlas I wasn't lying, and I still feel like he doesn't believe me. Convincing these two is going to be even harder.

"Bubba.... we just want you to be safe" papa starts to speak getting cut off by dad. "I-I understand" I stutter letting my head hang not even trying to hide my disappointment... "I just want to be like a normal teen" I whisper trying my hardest not to cry.

I had blown it... I was finally able to convince them to let me go in person last year and I had to do it all again this year... I didn't even last a month.  "We're so sorry bubba" papa mumbles walking over to me.

He pulls me into a tight hug making me gasp as he spun me around.  I clung on tight knowing how clumsy my parents were they would for sure drop me.  After a bit he sets me down and I try to focus, but the room contiunes to spin.

"Woah" I laugh grabbing on to my dads arm to stay up right.  Shaking out of my giggly state I stand up letting go of his arm I push back over next to dad.  "You guyysss I'm trying to have a serious conversation" I whine getting snickers from the both.

They quickly high-five knowing they had distracted me once again.  "I promise I'll be good" I go back to begging as they sigh. Papa rubs the bridge of his nose while dad stares between us.

"You're always good... plus you can always be good at home too" they try to mess with me making me tug at my hair.  "I'll use the buddy system!" I plead getting a stern look from papa.

Dad notices and quickly tries to copy the look.  "You were suppose to be using the buddy system before! We had terms you agreed to follow" he begins to lecture me and I sink back towards the door.

"I pinky promise I'll actually follow them this time!" I straighten up trying my best to persuade them. "Freddie he pinky promised...." dad turned to him his face scrunched up. "I know.... that means it's serious" they start whispering back and forth as I patiently wait for them to be done.

"You know you can't break a pinky promise" they both give me the same look meaning they were dead serious and I was going to get in major trouble if I didn't follow the rule.

"I know" I mumble fidgeting with my sleeves. "So that being said we are trusting you.. you must walk with somebody at all times" they start going over the rules again.

I had heard them so many times before. "Wait" I interrupt looking back up to them.... why am I so short... it's very unfair. "So you're saying I can go back!" I shout a smile becoming evident on my face.
