Rowan: Queen of Chav's

You're my kind of adult (Thirty)

Rowan PoV

Dad was going through some official looking paperwork at the dining table when I came back home from school.

"Hey Dad"
"Hey Baby, are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm ok, are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm ok but I'm really fucking bored of adulting today"
"(Snorts), you're my kind of adult Dad, I hope that I'm half as fucking cool as you when I get to be your age"
"Gee thanks"

I sat on Dad's lap, because why wouldn't I?, and I messed up Dad's hair because I knew that it annoyed him to no end, and for some reason that day I felt like being slightly annoying.

"Rowan!"
"Yes Daddy"
"Stop fucking up my hair will ya?"
"Ok ok ok, wait, since when have you worn glasses?"
"(Snorts), Good question Buba, well, about that, the thing is that I was supposed to start wearing them for reading like 3 years ago, but I look like a fucking weirdo in the-"
"No you don't!"

I then crossed my arms and pouted to prove my point, and if that wasn't an Addams move then I don't know what is...

"Anyway, Miss Pouty pants, (kisses the top of my head), Papa saw me today not using them and uh, let's just say that I got fucking scolded"
"(Snorts), I would've said that you married him but you 2 aren't getting married until next year"
"Fingers crossed... I'm joking... mostly"

It hurt my soul to hear Dad say that, as that means he doesn't believe that Papa loves him, even though Papa is as in love with him as he is with Papa.

"Mostly is the part that I'm worried about though Dad, because that means that you have a little bit of doubt about Papa wanting to marry you, even though he wouldn't have said yes to marrying you if that was the case, and yet you wonder where I get my 'I'm invincible' pre ado from"
"Remind me to stop putting sassy juice in the fridge, as you've been drinking way too much of it lately"
"Well if I don't drink it, you will drink it, and stuff that strong just isn't good for your old man heart Dad"
"You're a little shit Rowan"
"I know Dad, I know"
"Smart arse"
"I love you Dad"
"I love you too Baby"

We sat there quite peacefully, minding our own business since nobody else was home yet, the sunset was nearly set, so the room light was on, as Dad was not the biggest fan of the dark.

"Dad"
"Yes Rowan Sweetheart"
"I have something that I want to tell you"
"Ok this seems important"
"I don't know what I'd label it as or even if I want to label it at all, but I like all the people, regardless of their gender"
"Ok Baby, you know that it won't change anything with you and me"
"I know that it won't change things with you and Papa as neither of you are dicks Dad, plus you're both Gay so that would be extremely hypocritical of you both, no I told you this because if I bring home a stranger, I don't want you to be shocked or scandalised if they're like an alien or something"
"I didn't know that scandalised is a word-"
"It is, now piss off"
"Well as long as you're happy then I don't care who or what you're dating or doing"
"Thank you"
"You don't have to thank me Sweetheart"
"I know that I don't have to Dad, but I wanted to"
"As long as you know that Buba"

So Dad then decided that he had enough of doing adulting and put down the paperwork, not that I blame him as adulting fucking sucks.

"I have a question Dad"
"Is it going to hurt my head?"
"It shouldn't do"
"(Snorts), ok shoot"
"When did you know that you were gay?"
"Not long after I broke up with Maddie"
"Who the fuck is Maddie?"
"You didn't meet her while I was going out with her"
"So what happened for you to break up?"

Dad the hugged me and kissed the top of my head, as though I could disappear or something like that.

"Well Bambina, she and I were in a relationship for about a year, she brought up having kids together and I said that I wasn't comfortable with the idea of having more than the one child, this was before I knew about Mikey, and she called me a lying bastard who lead her on, and I tried to explain that I didn't want another child because if everything went to shit the child would be in the middle of everything, and she still was yelling about me 'leading her on', so I broke up with her"
"That was actually quite mature of you"
"Thanks"
