? ????? ??? ?????????

A/N: This is P L A T O N I C please don't think that this is romantic, this is legit a father-son dynamic..Just clearing this up, since some people (Not naming names or anything, it's not a bad thing either.) need more clarification. Future me, another title for this could be horns- Just realized this, how am I so stupid and just thought of this- Umm..Enjoy the oneshot! 

Mild TW: N/glect, Bad parenting(Could be a trigger?), and just stuff like that, if I missed something please tell me. These triggers are big in paragraph 4. Be safe! :)

Type: Fluff! Just some Tubbo and Dad-Schlatt.

AU: Dad-Schlatt AU. Also hybrid au again. Tubbo and Schlatt are rams.

Ship: Platonic Father Schlatt and Son Tubbo.

Status: Rewritten (This is the rewrite) and Edited

Words: 720 words. 

Tubbo was around 5 years old, and Schlatt had decided he was going to do his work as a father. (A/N: I'm sorry-) And was smiling and playing with the small boy he called his son when he noticed the little horns growing on top of his head. Schlatt smiles a bit, deciding to tell Tubbo, "Aww, bub your horns are coming in.." He says.

Tubbo looked up at him curiously, "Like yours papa?" He asks, reaching out and touching Schlatt's horns. Schlatt smiles a bit more, "Yeah, like mine." Tubbo giggled happily at this, which just made Schlatt's heart melt more than before. "Papa I'm going to be just like you!" He said, a smile plastered on his small round face. Schlatt chuckles a bit, "Just like me huh? Well, I'm sure you'll be even greater than me.." Schlatt said, patting Tubbo on the head gently.

Ever since then Tubbo had been making little check in's on his horns, he wanted to be like his dad. And, since his father had the horns, he wanted them too. Every time they grew just a bit he would get excited, and when they started poking out from his hair he got even more excited whenever he would see them.

Schlatt never really checked in on his horn growth, although his son was invested in it. He was busier with his work, he didn't mean to or want to ignore his son's interests. He just needed to sustain a family, which meant working a lot. (A/N: Sorry if that hit a little close to home, based on my past home life...My dad worked a lot and had minimal time for me and my sis..) He just wanted his son to have a good life, and he realized he wasn't being a good dad but he barely knew how to be a good dad.

Tubbo knew he was trying, so he never asked for much. He got the attention he needed at least once a week or so, on Schlatt's days off. He knew how to care for himself so it wasn't horrible for him, he knew how to make small things for himself and he could put himself to bed on bad nights for Schlatt. He still loved his father, don't get me wrong. But he wished he saw more of him.

Schlatt had gotten a day off work, which is why he was working more, he wanted to do something nice for his son. It was small but he was sure Tubbo would love it. They had enough money to go out for the day. Like to the park and out to eat. "Tubbo! Come downstairs!" He called to his son, Tubbo basically flew down the stairs.

"Yes, Pa?" He asked, "We're going to go out for the day, like to the park..Maybe out to eat." He said, watching Tubbo's smile and surprise grow, "Really?! Thank you, Pa!" He said, running to hug his Dad, who happily accepted the hug. "It's not a big deal buddy." He said, running a hand through his hair. "Your horns are quite big now."

The two went out for their day out (A/N: I can write that oneshot if you guys want-) and they had an amazing time, finally some Father-Son Bonding time..

A/N: Ahhh this is the cutest thing- I'm happy I rewrote it. It wasn't as good the first time. I did better this time, which makes me proud of myself. Bye guys! I won't be online much tomorrow or Sunday, ya know..girl scouts and Easter. :) Bye!
