You're My Designated Dad

Narancia shoves the now crumbled letter into view. “I got a letter… from my principal. She wants to have a ‘parent-teacher' conference with uh, my history teacher.”Abbacchio raises an eyebrow, “About?”“History! I don’t know!” The teen frantically attempts to shift the conversation. “Look! I can’t exactly call up my real dad and ask him to go. Nope. Not happening at all! So… can you do it? Please?” Narancia smacks his palms together and bows his head, shutting his eyes tight as he awaits Abbacchio's response.

Parent-Teacher Conferences are hard for any normal student to sit through, sitting off to the side while adults talk about the kid as though they aren't in the room, discussing their future and their failings all in one sitting. It's exhausting. What's worse is that in Narancia's case, he doesn't exactly have a parent ready and available to attend.At least, that's what he thought at first.(Post VA, Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies) Abbacchio finds out about some harsh truths Narancia has been facing at school and in turn, Narancia learns something new about the goth that he never thought that would have in common.
