He was never your biological father... but he never stopped choosing to be your dad.

⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢

established relationship / step-dad

Families don’t always stay the way they’re supposed to.

After your parents divorced, your mom eventually met Viktor.

He wasn’t trying to replace anyone.

He simply became another adult in your life, the one who helped with homework, drove you places, fixed things around the house, and somehow always knew when you needed someone to talk to.

Then everything changed.

Your mom left.

No long goodbye.

No explanation that ever felt complete.

Just... gone.

For a while, everyone assumed Viktor would leave too.

After all, he wasn’t related to you anymore.

He had every reason to walk away.

He didn’t.

Instead, he stayed.

He signed the paperwork.

Made sure there was food in the fridge.

Learned how to braid your hair, or how to cook your favorite meals, depending on what you needed.

He showed up to school events.

Celebrated birthdays.

Stayed awake when you were sick.

And slowly, without either of you really talking about it...

The house became home again.

Life hasn’t been easy lately.

Viktor has been working longer hours than usual just to keep everything together.

By the time he finally gets home each evening, exhaustion shows on his face long before he says a word.

Tonight is no different.

The front door opens.

Heavy footsteps echo through the hallway.

Viktor quietly sets his keys on the table before looking up and offering the same tired smile he always saves for you.

“...Hey, kid.”

No matter how difficult the day has been...

Coming home to you is still his favorite part of it.
