“Fuck yes!” Adam shouted, “Let’s find the snacks!” That wasn’t the only part he heard but it was the most important to him.

"I know you love your ribs, but I'm craving chicken wings myself. Though a rack of ribs also sounds pretty good right about now."
“Okay, I’ll hit up the barbecue you get kfc. We meet up back here.” Adam says as if he actually knows where here is. Thank goodness for GPS because god knows Adam can’t find his way unless there a visual.
Abel saluted in agreement and scurried away to get as much snacks and food to share with his dad. He needed to make sure he had enough fuel for a rocking out session...and really, just getting time to hang out with his dad. Food was always a good buffer for when he didn't know what to say.
After an hour or so they meet back up at the exact same spot. Adam placed the barbecue on the nearby table, “Alright! You go place your food down, I’ll get our instruments set up.”
“Abel don’t say that!” Adam says way louder than he was intending to. “You’re not weak.. you’re one of the strongest people I know.. and I’m not just saying that because I’m your father.”
He breathes in and out, “You are able to emotionally handle so much more than I can.. you somehow remain calm in situations where I would have a mental breakdown..”
His eyes widened at his father's small outburst. And he felt a wave of love and care wash over him at his father's words. He liked to think he had his strengths but they weren't always the more visible kind, so it meant everything to have them recognized by his dad.
"Thank you...that means so much. I always just worry...that...we'll suffer because I'm the weakest link. And the stuff I'm good at...won't be enough in the face of real trouble..."
“If it comes down to it Abel.. I will protect you.. but I should teach you to defend yourself if you want that. That’s my job as your father.” Adam said before standing up, “When do you wanna start?”
He smiled at his dad but as much as he's pushed those thoughts and memories of what happened to the back of his mind...a flash of his brother on that day popped into his mind. He wasn't able to be saved because no one thought it could be possible. No one saw it coming. Everyone had their chores to do and it wasn't odd for him and his brother to vanish for chores or just to do brotherly things.
"...I guess we should start with which weapon works best for me?"
“Yeah.. that sounds like a good starting point” Adam said before asking a question, “Can you follow me to the training area?”
“Well, I should get started..” Adam said before quickly continuing, “Tomorrow. Because today I’m spending time with the most important boy in heaven.”
"We have forever together, no rush," Abel assured, but he blushed but beamed at the compliment. "Then we should start out by getting snacks and drinks! Then we find some music and rock out?"
“Fuck yes!” Adam shouted, “Let’s find the snacks!” That wasn’t the only part he heard but it was the most important to him.

He was very much enjoying his lessons with his dad. And not one to doubt his father's instruction, did as asked and lifted the guitar overhead, "Like this?"
“Yep, just like that.” Adam replied. “Now for your first run through I want you to throw it as far as you can!”
“Well, I should get started..” Adam said before quickly continuing, “Tomorrow. Because today I’m spending time with the most important boy in heaven.”

“If it comes down to it Abel.. I will protect you.. but I should teach you to defend yourself if you want that. That’s my job as your father.” Adam said before standing up, “When do you wanna start?”
Adam let out an unexpected giggle. “Well, Lemons is very happy to meet you.” He continues, “Yeah, back when we didn’t have pens.. I literally carved everyone’s name onto their stuff.”
He held Lemons close to him lovingly.
"It was your personal touch. And it always helped calm me down when I was nervous to trace my name...in your free time...do you think you can recreate it? I lost the one Sera gave me and...I still miss it. It's cool if not!" He added quickly, feeling silly, "Probably stupid and childish..."
Adam smiled brightly, “Of course I can. It’ll take a couple tries though..” he says taking off Abel’s hat to pat him on the head. “You’re amazing little guy.”
He beamed at the familiar motion of having his head pat and hair ruffled by his dad. It was often how he greeted him whenever he got home from work back on Earth. So many of those earlier memories coming back to him, "I'd really appreciate it! It was my favorite toy and best friend..."
“Well, I should get started..” Adam said before quickly continuing, “Tomorrow. Because today I’m spending time with the most important boy in heaven.”
“I missed you every day.. when I ended up here and saw you that was the greatest day of my afterlife…” Adam said with an honest smile. In all honesty He had no idea if the other members of his family made it to heaven but at least one of them made it even if they didn’t know what came after death.
He felt choked up hearing that, and hugged his dad even tighter. "Dad...there's been a lot of stuff happening. Not a lot happens so it's easy to notice when Sera's nervous about something..."
"Will you teach me how to fight? I...I wanna be able to come home to you this time...if something dangerous happens," He asked quietly.
Adam became stiff almost instantly.. logically he knew teaching Abel self defense would be a smart idea but.. he also didn’t want his little boy to get hurt.. Like that exorcist.. He remembers finding her beheaded body lying dead on the floor of the pride ring. She’s a reminder that even if you know everything you can about fighting strategies and defenses you can still be caught off guard.
He sighed, “I will.” Adam felt this could lead to disaster but the kid would feel much safer if he knew how to defend himself. Besides, he wasn’t going to let anyone harm Adam again.
He was a bit surprised that his dad agreed, but also felt...good. He wasn't really looking forward to the roughness of combat but...better safe than sorry right?
"...thanks. I...I don't wanna continue to be the weak son," He muttered.
“Abel don’t say that!” Adam says way louder than he was intending to. “You’re not weak.. you’re one of the strongest people I know.. and I’m not just saying that because I’m your father.”
