[ there's two wrapped gifts and a father's day card addressed to Eddie & Venom. One of the gifts is chocolate, one of the nicer ones available at the stores around Etraya, though it doesn't mean much when nothing has a price.

The other is a leatherbound journal Dylan found in the stationery section.

Inside the card is written: ]

Sorry it isn't much. But thank you for looking out for us. Happy Father's Day.

—Dylan

( they're not crying; you're crying! even moreso considering eddie can't remember the last time he's thought about father's day, given everything about carl. )

Hey, man. You didn't have to do this for us.

[ Dylan takes a bit to respond as he tries to figure out how sincere he wants to be. Even reaching out this much is terrifying He's already been abandoned so many times before; It would suck to open himself up only to let himself be hurt again. ]

I know.

I wanted to.

( meanwhile, eddie's trying to toe the line that is being the alternate universe equivalent of a weird stepdad. he's not dylan's eddie, knows that the eddie from his world is way more competent in some ways and worse in others.

still, he's not trying to replace him. even insinuating that he could be the other eddie feels like crossing a line. )

We appreciate it.
We think you're great.

If Internation Kids' Day ever becomes a thing, we'll get you something, too.
