Novel & Cerita Squidward's Father Never Hugged Him

Phantom swallowed and gladly nodded. Savannah's father's solemn expression was replaced with a smile. "Good; love her son; be proud of her." Savannah's father stated this, even patting Phantom's shoulder before kissing his daughter on the cheek. Phantom received Savannah's hand from her father. Phantom gripped it fiercely, as though refusing to let go.

Calling him 'Big Silly Hughes' was like asking for trouble. Hudson snickered icily, "That's just because somebody doesn't know how tough Mr. Hughes is. My dad's pretty tight with him. I heard even the toughest guys in Brownsville get scared of Mr. Hughes, as if they were mice and he was a big cat. I've met Mr. Hughes myself, and I greatly respect him." Yitty's face lit up with joy, "Darling, I had no idea you knew Mr. Hughes. That's so cool!"

Father's head also snaps in his direction at his declaration, but he only meets my gaze. "Prove to me that I'm not a complete failure and that your moms' work did not happen in vain. Prove to me that a selfish old man's game can never break us, Atty." At his nickname, I could feel the smile before it even forms. I catch Father’s eye and his jaw clenched in anger. I’m guessing he didn’t realize that brother was gone, but, how?! Knowing his personality, he’d always have people near August. How did Yu get away with this?

I breathe a sigh of relief, as tears slips down my cheeks. What if Ares wasn't here? Would I have lost my father too? Dad on seeing my tears, come to gather me in his arms. I cry profusely "What if I had lost you?" "Sssh pumpkin, I am here with you. Hale and Strong." Dad whispers "...come here Ares." Dad gestures to Ares, extending his arm for a hug. "Hey! What am I missing here? A hug? You guys are certainly not having a group hug without me." Athena pouts from the doorway, coming to join in the hug.

Even my father took me aside, beaming with pride, and told me how impressed he was with my leadership. But the truth was, I would battle anyone and anything to protect my family. They were my world, my everything. Papa Mojo's comedic reenactment of Zorvath's defeat had everyone in stitches, exaggerating the "Lizardman's" cowardice for comedic effect. Even I couldn't help but laugh at his antics, feeling a deep sense of joy and connection with my loved ones.

Nivia’s pov “Stay safe and take care of these grandkids, or I’ll, -“ Dad threatened, but Ford simply smiled and nodded, “I will keep your daughter and your grandchildren safe, Opa.” Dad chuckled, “good man. Now, do you do hugs or just manly handshakes? Or a pat on the back?” Ford rolled his eyes and sighed, but before he could answer, Dad had already given Ford a bear hug, even lifted him off the ground a bit and spun him around before placing him down. “See you soon, son. Don’t fuck up.”

Reid approached his son with a smile and hugged him. "We all were waiting for you, son," Reid uttered to his son who in return made no attempt to hug him back nor replying to him because he was not there to do a fucking reunion with his family. He was just there for that one specific person who still didn't even turn around to look at him.

They've gone so long away from one another that he does not know what to do to make himself feel welcome or make his son feel his warmth once again. "Come on in Dad." Ford ushers him in and closes the door behind him. Ford is slightly taller than his father but the difference is not very obvious. Wade turns around and suddenly pulls him into a hug. Not hiding anything or filtering his words, "I missed you kiddo." Ford hugs him back, "I missed you two Dad." Sue watches silently, where she's standing, watching both men greet one another. Sue can see the resemblance between Ford and his father.

He stood up with wet his shorts … “Eyyy…. Sorry. Oh, here you go. Take this, “I finally surrendered the plate of squid. Goodbye. I won’t ever forgive that man. “Look what you’ve done!” he complained. “Hmph, be thankful that it isn’t the squid that got spilled in you,” I grumbled. “What ?!” “Aaron…” his father interfered. Yes Mister, your child was O.A! He needed a referee for a technical foul. He sat down and the waitress gave him a towel to clean himself. My favorites were gone. But what did that guy want to see on the table? Squid my love; I’d even replace Lee Min Ho with you, my love.

Let myself be held. A father’s hug. Something I never thought I’d feel in this lifetime. He pulled back slightly to brush a tear off my cheek. "I’m proud of you," he said softly. "And… I’m sorry it took so long for me to find you." I nodded, too choked up to speak. Fred gave me a one-armed hug next, trying to keep it casual. "Don’t get too French too fast. Those guys are way too serious," he teased. "I expect sarcastic texts and pastry pics at all hours."
