headcannons for a father daughter type relationship with konro <3??
OMG ANON! I love this SO MUCH!
Father/Daughter Relationship
I think Konro would struggle a bit with a father/daughter type relationship, especially if the girl is a little older. He’s adjusted fairly well to raising the twins, sometimes gliding through the learning process and other times tripping and face-planting through it, but through it nonetheless. But with a little girl around puberty age - he’d largely be at a loss. He was raised by men, with men, and it’s already been hard enough unlearning a lot of those values and methods with the twins. Frankly, he thought he’d have more time before he had to worry about that, but now this little girl was dropped in their laps and had seemed to attach herself to him, as most kids do. Beni was little-to-no help at all, slipping his way out of the situation to leave Konro dealing with it when things got… complicated.
Fashion, boys, temper tantrums, hormones all over the place, PERIODS?????! He’d struggle his way through it, doing his best to hide his discomfort or embarrassment, advising and assisting her the best way he could - usually falling fairly short of the point, as he tends to do, but still trying. He’d likely lean on his friends in the community to help with the more complex issues, always knowing just who to send her to or how to find the solution for her needs.
OH how Granny laughed the first time he came to her asking what to do about that time of the month, his face glowing the entire walk back to the guard house, pads stuffed in his pockets as he dreaded having to show her how to use them, replaying Granny’s advise over-and-over and praying he didn’t get it mixed up.
But when she comes to him for comfort, crawling into his lap or curling up at his side, watching the tension leave her little body as she melts into the safety of his presence - he would go through that conversation a thousand times to provide that for her.
Pride swells in his heart as he watches her grow from a scared little girl into a beautiful, strong young woman. He feels a little more confident as he begins teaching her skills more in his wheelhouse, how to protect herself, how to wield a blade, how to keep the boys far, far (far) away. He hides gloating smiles under his sleeve listening to her putting the boys in their place, her mouth one to rival even Beni’s.
It’s a long, stumbling process learning to raise a girl into a young woman, but he excels even when he’s sure he’s failing, if only because he’s so determined to be the protector and guide that she needs. He has endless appreciation for her sass and resilience, and one day fondly remembers all those moments he wasn’t sure he could make it through.
Even as a grown ass woman, he’ll always be her protector and guide to the best of his ability, and probably eventually her best friend. He’ll grit his teeth as his own words are turned around on him, knowing she’s right as she puts even his ass in his place. But his pride in her will always supersede his frustration.
I hope that’s what you were looking for anon!! This was SUCH a sweet ask, I had a lot of fun writing it!
