#43: HURT
When Melissa came out into the hospital corridor to him where he was pacing, looking pale and stressed herself, she had some relieving news. They pumped Stiles’ stomach, cleaned up the cuts he had on his arms and feet, he was sleeping for now but should be okay - physically.

He nodded mutely, but the relief was still overshadowed by the icy chill inside of knowing his son wanted to hurt himself. As soon as he teared up, Melissa was there, wrapping her arms around him in a soothing hug that he needed so much, it took his breath away.

Out of all the terrifying supernatural and bizarre demons, creatures, and entities Beacon Hills had been plagued with of late, none were as remotely frightening to John as the ones currently plaguing his very human and very cherished son's head that no big-bad could ever match for him.

"We'd remember tonight for the rest of our lives." (Wings, Birdy)

CONTAINS TRIGGERING CONTENT
John shot awake abruptly and groggily reached to switch his lamp on. He hadn't been sleeping the best lately, and most nights it was lightly so he could keep an awareness on his son in case he needed him. Nights seemed to be the worse. When it was dark, when Stiles mind seemed to kick into overdrive the most. He was sure it was the sound of someone crying that roused him. Maybe he dreamt it, but maybes weren't enough for him to base anything on right now.

( That night, Stiles was in his room alone... )

Torpid
adj. 1. inactive or sluggish. 2. slow; dull; apathetic; lethargic.

When John woke that morning, it was early. Very early, but that wasn't unusual for him. He had always been an early riser, which was the complete opposite of his son. That morning was very, very different to any mornings in his recent history. When he woke, the sun must have just been coming up because it was watery and peeking in through the crack in the curtains left when he mustn't have closed them over completely the night before.

( He was also naked. He couldn't remember the last time he woke up naked... )

#10: WALK
One of John’s happiest memories with his son was when Stiles was three. Having come home from playgroup where he learned the “When You’re Happy And You Know It” song, he sung it on a walk to the shops for icecream. Getting to the final verse, Stiles continued right on making up his own versions of more verses, and decided it was high time to teach his dad “The best song in the whole world and universe and Solar System.”

From then on, they would always sing it together, and John adored his son’s bright smile that came with it.

#20: TOGETHER
With John’s wife's heart-breaking passing a few years ago, and Melissa’s marriage breaking down from her ex’s drinking problems, they had come to simply work together in the parenting of their sons, Stiles and Scott. There wasn’t any sort of verbal agreement, it just fell into place and worked.

Melissa’s support was something John valued and treasured with every passing day, especially with the boys getting older now and their “problems” more serious and worrisome when they arose. Right now, with his son’s recent terrifying experiences and ailing health, he was more grateful of that help and support than ever.

( DRABBLE CHALLENGE: 50 Drabbles - Progress Table )

Fatherhood doesn't get easier as they get older.

"When you're close to tears remember
Some day it'll all be over
One day we're gonna get so high
And though it's darker than December
What's ahead is a different colour
One day we're gonna get so high."
• High, Lighthouse Family

John got up from the armchair next to Stiles' bed, reaching over carefully and quietly to ease the remote control out from under Stiles hand on his chest. They had watched the first Police Academy movie and went on to the second, though he had more been watching his son this past half an hour or so waiting to see if he was finally going to succumb to sleep. He knew if he had to sit here all night watching cheesy 80s movies with his son until he switched off enough to sleep, he would have.

( Stiles had switched his phone off entirely once he was lying down on his bed and even tossed it into his bottom drawer with a frown for good measure... )
