Fics like Pain's like cold water (your brain just gets used to it)

Look, it’s just- of course, rationally he knew, right? He knew that his grandparents were his dad’s parents, that’s literally how it works. He just never really- realized what that meant. But there are tears in his father’s eyes. And Chris remembers something he saw on TikTok a while ago: It’s his dad’s first time living too. And maybe…maybe he really has been a little hard on him. Shutting him out like that. “What, Eddie, of course we want you to be hap-” Abuela tries, but Chris’s dad doesn’t let her. “No,” he interrupts. “No, that’s not true. If you wanted me to be happy, you would’ve helped me. You would’ve let Christopher stay with you for…a month, maybe, to cool down, to get some distance, to get the space he needs. But then you…you would’ve tried, at least. To get us talking. To fix this. To mend what I broke.” He sounds devastated. So incredibly devastated. And Chris can’t help but think that…his dad kinda has a point there. Or: Eddie goes to Texas, Chris overhears something he shouldn’t have, Helena Diaz starts feeling as guilty as she fucking should, and somehow, somewhere in between it all turns out okay.
