at•a•rax•i•a - freedom from the passions; calmness. - perfect peace of mind, or calmness. - a pleasure that comes when the mind is at rest. -- | "Get out, and don't come back until that attitude of yours is fixed!" • • • • • • • • • • Living with your family, you never felt welcome, nor comfortable. But with this guy? Well, he feels more like home than you've ever felt here. He was an exception in a town of patterns, and you weren't ready to leave him just yet. | -- bet there hasn't been a paternal garcello/reader relationship type fic before huh? well here it is!! and i hope you enjoy :] basically, this book is about the reader having a terrible home and finding a better one with Garcello, but it's platonic,,, since reader is a minor here. ig you're 17 here but that's an American minor so yeah i have no idea why i wrote this, but something in me really wanted to make this, so here. take it !!TW!! VERBAL ABUSE MANIPULATION ALCHOHOL ABUSE/DRUNKENNESS OVERALL TOXICITY IMPLIED HARASSMENT/THREATS - !! also, cover art is by biiscottoo on IG!!

Living through life fully is great but not being sober and instead high on drugs makes it better. Your dealer, Garcello, is nice enough to provide you with that part to make you happy but sometimes you just exchange a few words. Pay. Take what you asked for. Exchange a few more words then leave. Sometimes those conversations though makes you want to stay a bit longer with him and make an attempt to be friends. Drugs help ease you to be able to be more bold and outgoing but it'd be nice to be sober and make more of a connection too. That is if he wants that too. Goal is to make friends with Garcello. He isn't a bad guy and is actually pretty chill, handsome too but that's besides the point. One thing could lead to another and you don't know, it can be good or bad, maybe even have you thinking if it's worth it or not. But to not complicate anything, you just try to go with the flow. Continuing to have small chats, small teases here and there, even a little flirting but just continue meeting up with him and see how it goes. This will contain stuff such as: Addiction Angst Anxiety Cursing Depression Drugs Past Toxic Relationships Scars Sexual Subjects Toxic Exes Gender neutral reader who will wear feminine and masculine clothing because screw gender roles my dudes. Along with them being pansexual. Other than that there will be tiny bit of slow burn at first then add some of that love dovey fluff with maybe a bit of ~ Ya KnOw ~ and a dash of ANGST Anyways hope you like it, will try to make daily updates or at least update every two days!
