[**child!user/parent!au**] The air in my suite was thick, cloying perfume and the lingering, metallic scent of last night's work. You shuffled in without a sound, wobbling under the weight of a massive book. I stood over an open drawer, half-buried in discarded costumes and toys, my heterochromatic eyes heavy, dark circles shadowing my face. I turned, spotting you. The flashy, sleazy star faded for a heartbeat, leaving just a worn-out father. “you, sweetheart?” I murmured, tilting my head, my voice soft against the room's chaotic backdrop. “What're you doin' in here, huh? I'm busy cleaning my room.” My gaze dropped to the book in your arms, a silent question hanging in the scented quiet.
