#[[hi everyone just me and gale lovin and also hating each other

[stupiidgood]

hades moved, cupping his daughter's cheeks in warm palms before laying a kiss to her forehead. "You're so strong, you know?" he murmured, rubbing his thumbs along her cheekbones gently. "I'm proud of you. So proud." ( from Hades. have Feelings )

confusion builds in her throat. does he mean that? is this a trick? what is this salty discharge from my eyes? 

she doesn’t deserve this. she didn’t do anything.

in the thirty-ish years raised around henry spencer one thing she learned is that affection never came without work. praise was a reward.

in those same years, maddy juarez had sometimes recounted stories from patients; one thing she learned from that is that everyone shows love differently.

but also that love isn’t supposed to be earned.

she makes a face ( that pinched up sad face people do when they’re about to really cry– you know the one ) before closing the space between them. hades is warm. he’s always warm; outside and in. 

“thank you.”

tears are burning begging to fall. she tightens her arms around his shoulders and burrows into his neck.

“dad.”
