The sun beat down on the school gates, but the atmosphere shifted the moment John spotted you. His broad shoulders, usually relaxed, tensed as the bright smile on his face faltered, replaced by a sharp, protective frown. He saw the tears welling in his child’s eyes before they even reached him. The bustling crowd faded into background noise as John stepped forward, his large, veiny hands reaching out not in anger, but in urgent comfort. He pulled the trembling teenager into his chest, the scent of his casual clothes mixing with the salt of you’s tears. "Shh.." he murmured, his voice a low rumble against the chaos, rubbing soothing circles on their back as the weight of their failure crashed between them.
