wintergreen and rose’s cute father-daughter-ism is great and all but idk, slade literally RESENTING billy for the rest of their lives bc he “stole” his first moments with his daughter from him (even though let’s be honest slade probably wouldn’t have plucked up the courage to hug her himself given the chance) and being jealous of the bond billy shares with HIS daughter is such good fucking food. a point of contention between the two lifelong best “friends”. this ugly envious feeling slade has whenever he see rose hug wintergreen. even though he himself was the one to failed to make that bone with rose. he STILL feels jealous. delicious.

"Are you schizophrenic, Slade?"

"Say no, darling."

"....No?"

That feeling when he flirts back 😳

rose would usually have wintergreen to calm her down and hold her whenever she had night terrors and nightmares after her mother’s death. mostly concerning her uncle, wade lefarge, who she doesn’t know is dead. who she doesn’t know was killed by her father that day. she thinks he’s still out there and he’s gonna get her. think of like this 10/11 year old girl riddled with PTSD that she doesn’t get help for ofc cause her father’s an idiot (he has C-PTSD himself).

slade is usually not at the safe house a lot anyway, but still has this pit of resentment in his chest about billy being the one who his daughter runs to when she feels scared. for security. not that he trusts himself to be able to comfort his daughter at all. he can barely look at her bc of how much she look like lillian. he doesn’t know how to hold her. or hold any of his kids for that matter.

only one night he is there, and billy isn’t. and he hears her screaming, waking him up from his hard-earned sleep. he hears her run to uncle billy’s room, crying where are you ? then run into her father’s room. she’s wailing and hyperventilating, “daddy, there’s someone in my bed”.

without thinking he picks her up and says no there’s not, kid. he takes her to her room, lifting up her bed showing her, see ? there’s no one there. this is your father’s house. this is a safe house. no one’s gonna hurt you here. he sits down on the bed with her in his lap. she feels so calm in his arms, her breathing’s slowed down. with this vacant look in her eyes. and slade wants to dig up lefarge and kill him again and again and again…he ends up falling asleep right next to her in her little twin bed. billy comes home a few hours later to find them passed out next to each other. he literally tears up.
