"Do you like it?"
My old man said to both my mother and i, gesturing to the plates of food in front of us.
"Wheres the pork?"
I say lowering my eyebrows
The wench glares at me but my father says sheepishly
"The pig chewed its way out of the tent before i got the chance to prepare it"
"Seriously?"
I sigh, annoyed
"shut up Katsuki"
My mother hisses, then turns to my father
"It's delicious dear"
He looks relieved at her words but i just roll my eyes
"So when do i get to be chief?"
"You don't"
She says simply
"WHAT?"
I yell, slamming my fork onto the table
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"What the hell are YOU talking about?"
She growled
"You'd be a terrible chief!"
"LIKE HELL I WOULD!!"
I yelled slamming my hands on the table and standing up
"YOU"RE A RUDE LITTLE BRAT! "
She stood up, pointing her finger in my face
"NO ONE WOULD LISTEN TO YOU!"
"Guys please-"
My father started, but interrupted him
"THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? I'D POUND EVERYONE ELSE INTO THE DUST, THATS WHY THED LISTEN TO ME"
She scoffed
"THEY'D HATE YOU, INFACT THEY ALREADY DO"
Something in my chest stung at her words, but i ignored it. What could i say to that? That depressing truth laid bare in front of me.
"...WELL SO WHAT? BETTER TO BE FEARED THAN WEAK"
The wench looked at me with incredulous eyes but said quietly
"You won't understand what it means to lead unless you have something to protect"
She cast loving eyes toward my father and he returned the look with a smile
"The fuck do you know? They probably all hate you behind your back"
I ay, but i know that it was a false attempt, everyone loved my mom, her bravery and understanding face, she had them hanging off of every word she spoke. While i-...what do i have? A pig?
"Whatever"
I said, turning and walking toward my tent
"WE'RE NOT DONE HERE KATSUKI"
She yelled
"FUCK OFF"
I shouted back, leaving the food behind.
