TAKES PLACE AFTER TOPPAT KING

Requested by @Wolfie112008 , tysm :>

(This one is pretty basic, just Reginald venting to you about how terrible Henry is and how great he is, and him trying his best to keep your attention. Mostly comedic, maybe even a little angsty, your 2nd POV, you are in your 1st year of junior high. Hope you enjoy!)

   You were honestly surprised when Henry made a sudden blastoff onto the airship, and for your father to actually... spare him.

   It was honestly rather abnormal for him since you've known from day one from when you were adopted that he was obsessed with keeping himself in power, even if it meant gaslighting, or even killing others in cold blood.

   You've seen it happen before, and you were surprised it didn't happen now. Maybe your father's had a change of heart...

   But you knew that would just be some fake pipe dream of your's. After all, after he was done with work, he immediately came to see his living quarters to see you... And to rant to you.

   If only he was just a little more open-minded.

  "Henry... Of all people, why did I choose him?! I should've picked Right Hand Man, and left him with a simple high rank, but here he is, grabbing even more loot than when I ruled!" He ranted to you as you swung your legs around, sitting on his top bunk.

  "Sure, he's impressive, but I am MUCH more impressive and less reckless than he is! Today's raid almost KILLED one of the recruits!" He continued on, boring you.

   In that raid, the certain recruit who had almost been killed was Hanz Spearman... He had disobeyed Henry's orders to retreat. Hell, Henry even volunteered to care for his injuries himself.

  "Dad, you paid the price for making him leader, y'know," You told him, grabbing a nearby book to read while he blathered on. "You gave into peer pressure and gave him what you probably value most."

  "That is NOT true, dear! The one I value most is obviously you!" He said aggressively, staring you down as you raised an eyebrow at him.

  "What?! It's true! Here, I'll order you your favorite sweets to eat right now-- " He ran over to pick up his phone, and dialed a number, most likely the cafeteria cook's number. "Yes, hello. I'd like Y/F/S (Your Favorite Sweet). Get it here in 30 minutes, got it?!... Good!" He slammed his phone back onto the surface it was on.

  "Stickmin may be a witty, sly leader, making routes before even stealing from a place, and kind, treating each of his subordinates like friends, even grunts, but I assure you, Y/N, that I am MUCH more witty and caring!" He prattled on, walking around in circles, his shoes stomping on the ground as you read your book uninterested.

  "Honestly, I should've... Hey! Pay attention!" He snapped his fingers in front of you, making your eyes shoot up at him.

  "Look... I get that your angry Pops, I know that it's hard to go from leader to a simple high rank, but you need to understand that you should just let it go," You explained, closing the book you were reading. "Some people are bound to be more powerful than you."

  "But he practically made me dethrone mys-"

  "Serving of Y/F/S for Copperbottom!"

   Reginald gave an angered glare towards the door before opening it. He swiped the sweets away and thanked him quickly before slamming the door on him. He seemed a little calmer, but still ruffled.

   You opened the small cover with a strange yellow and brown creature imprinted on it; to a box that contained Y/F/S, and began eating. For some reason, Reginald was thinking silently. He was still facing towards you, but his arms were in a thinking pose, his right thumb below his chin...

  "Ehm... What's wrong, Pops?" You asked as you ate some of the sweets.

  "... Look dear, sometimes power gets to one's head and makes them act strangely... That simply normal human(stickman) behavior." He said, his eyes now open and... wistful?

  "I'm sorry if my words seem almost foreign and insane towards you. Your my child, and I should be more benign and caring towards you, not my position as Toppat member." He gave your head a small pat, his face pensive.

  You snickered at his sudden apology. "Hey, at least you're being honest with me. Some people don't even show any emotion towards me. That shows that you do care for me, not just the oh-so-delectable sweets."

   Reginald gave you a thankful, fatherly smile.

  "Thank you for understanding, dear."
