Monstrous Feelings (Weyler one-shots)

Guide on How to Raise Two Teenage Monsters in Love, Written by Donovan James Gal

Donovan James Galpin, a multifaceted individual, occupied various roles in Jericho: the relentless sheriff of the town, the father of the enigmatic Hyde, Tyler, a man in the process of learning the arduous task of being a good parent. Furthermore, he distilled skill in the world of poker, navigating through skillful plays and strategies. His story was marked by his battle against alcohol addiction, a demon he had chosen to confront head-on. However, the unfathomable pain of losing his wife continued to shape his being, perpetuated by the wedding ring that still adorned his finger. Haunted by the memory, Donovan had made the courageous decision to undergo therapy, longing to forge an improved version of himself for the well-being of his offspring.

Despite these qualities, patience did not feature in his repertoire. Raising a monster child, passionately immersed in an obsessive love for his tiny monster girlfriend, had spawned a dynamic that challenged any notion of calmness. This undertaking was extremely demanding, as both teenagers had woven a web of mutual dependency, feeding off each other. The situation wasn't simplified by the fact that his son had captured the heart of Wednesday Addams, a personality as mysterious as it was dark. The antics of the young lovers entangled Donovan's life in a whirlwind of emotions.

Unrestrained laughter intertwined with moments of tension and drama. The journey was painted with comedic strokes, where chaotic situations generated moments of hilarity amidst the darkness. The community looked on in astonishment at Donovan's clumsy dance, who, besides carrying his own struggles, found himself entangled in the absurd romance of two beings that seemed plucked from a gothic tale. Jericho bore witness to an extravagant tableau, where the mundane and the macabre coexisted in a subtle dance.

The threads of destiny wove themselves into an intricate tapestry, where love and obsession merged into enchanting chaos. In the corridors of peculiarity, Donovan was facing a test of emotional endurance, confronting his own past while dealing with the challenges of the present. Each day was an adventure on the roller coaster of emotions, where humor and darkness collided on a stage that could only be described as an otherworldly tragicomedy.

1. Son, please don't sneak your girlfriend into your bed secretly, again.

From the chaotic incident at Laurel Gates to Tyler's return from the Willow Hill psychiatric facility, Donovan had been on a constant quest to reconfigure his work schedules, eager to be present at family dinners whenever possible. Though he didn't always manage to achieve this goal, the current day seemed to hold the promise of a break in his trend. Right on this occasion, Tyler had joined a sports team, swimming in this case, which made it a worthy cause for celebration.

Of course, fate wasn't willing to make things easy. It took a considerable effort, but after persuading Santiago to commit to attending the end-of-year barbecue at the station and, no less importantly, taking on the responsibility of manning the grill while the rest relaxed, he finally managed to get him to agree to cover his night shift. Santiago's response, expressing pride in Donovan's effort to rebuild a relationship with his son after the tragic loss of Francoise, marked an emotional milestone that seemed to resonate with the chaos and depth of recent events.

Before heading home, Donovan made the decision to stop by Tyler's favorite burger joint. There, he ordered the foolproof triple with pickles, just as Tyler loved, along with a refreshing Coca-Cola. Upon arriving home, a scene of lights on but intriguing silence greeted him. The hint was clear: Tyler was home, though the atmosphere suggested an unusual stillness. Even Elvis, his loyal canine companion, barely seemed to react to his entrance.

"Where's Tyler, buddy? Where?" Donovan shared his thoughts aloud with Elvis, who responded with an affectionate lick on his hand and an energetic wag of his tail. Without wasting time, Donovan climbed the stairs to his son's room. His initial intention was to announce his presence and the arrival of food, but his face filled with surprise as he discovered Tyler's bare back, marked with scratches and hickeys from Wednesday Addams. Both young people were fast asleep, entwined with the innocence of the night. The scene undoubtedly made it clear that they had shared intimate moments."
