(oh god, I just realized that I didn't respond. I'm sorry, my Tumblr notifications are wacky and thank you for being so understanding.)

The thoughts that took over were very common for situations like these: Why? How long? Was he ever going to get told? If so, when? Ugh. This was going to be a long night. David knew he probably should eat something for dinner, but he couldn't bring himself to. Not after what he had learned. Opting for not feeling alone tonight, David turned on a nearby radio, subconsciously turning on the station his father claimed was crap, but he'd also listen to when he thought David was at school.

in the age of technology, a letter was left on your desk. crisp and neat, alien yet familiar.

"david,

i have no idea how to even start. i'm sorry, son. i failed you. i should've stayed home i should've learned to be a better father than what i was. there is so much i have never told you, and so much that was never said but should've been. i love you, david; i truly do, i wasn't there for you when it mattered, and for that i'm so fucking sorry. your uncle, frank, he has done so much more for you than i ever have, so i understand completely if you don't see me as a father. but i just want you to know that you've done me proud. - your father p.s. if you ever need me, you know where uncle frank is, just ask for me, i'll be there this is a promise i swear i'll keep."

there was no return address. the writing was supposed to be tidy, but guilt and pain left it crooked. an apology written in earnest.

(Anon when I catch you Anon!! (Silly))

David just sits down in the desk chair that he tends to almost always be around, holding the letter as if it'd break if he set it down. He felt a pang of anxiety from just looking at the envelope. Despite all that happened, David still cared for his father, even though he was a kid when all hell broke loose... He thought about the kidnapping, knowing Menendez hated his father, and by extension, had hated him. David knew that his father could handle himself very well, but he couldn't help but worry. He opened the envelope after a few good minutes of sitting there, and his eyes went wide when he saw his father's... His father's name... it was on the page. He was alive? Jesus Christ. He thought he was killed. What the fuck had actually happened in Panama? David just shakes his head, his eyes carefully scanning over every single word, soaking it up like a sponge. He knew his father was serious, seeing his normally neat handwriting crooked. David was so shocked that he didn't seem to realize a tear had rolled down his cheek, jumping to the corner of the paper before he could move it. Before he knew it, he had also felt a pang of anger. His Uncle Frank knew his dad was alive, and he didn't tell him? He thought they were closer than that... But he also knew Woods wouldn't say anything of the sort if his father had told him to keep his mouth shut. Despite all of that, David still felt a mix of sadness, relief, anger, betrayal... Speaking of betrayal, he had to call his uncle.. David slowly put down the letter, picking up his phone, dialing in Woods's phone number. He waited... and when it went to voicemail, David inhaled before leaving a message. "Hey, Uncle Frank... it's David. Call me back as soon as you can." Then he hung up, feeling like his world had come crashing down. "Son of a..." He whispered to himself, folding and tucking the letter back into the envelope, before letting out a shaky exhale, putting the envelope in the drawer of his desk, before just sitting there. Letting his thoughts take over. It was going to be a long day when his Uncle Frank or his father got back to him.

👁👁

Yes.

A little birdie told me you like cats..

This is Seze, and he's the most dangerous terrorist since Raul Menendez. But only when he's not sleeping. When he's sleepy, he's too lazy to bite.

AWW

He's so cute

And he deserves all of the pets

(Even if he is a little terrorist...)

@ask-woods

you might want to watch out, this one is more powerful than Menendez.

[section-askblog]

Yes. Here's some more cats + squirrel. (The black cat who's reading is mine, tho. I have two cats (one orange and white, not posted here yet) and Wasn't sure if I should have added them 💔💔)

"Nice to meet you, Liam. I'm David Mason." He replies, clearly not thinking too much about this coincidence... Or was it?. He's already too emotional already, unfortunately.

(Hey! Sorry I thought I sent this before 😭)

He had come to David with a wallet,

Excuse me, sir, but, you dropped your wallet back there on the path.

David noticed the heterochromia in the man’s eyes, but he also saw a Cordies Die patch on the man’s jacket… from the pins and stuff he had, his clothes, he seemed to be Hugh up on the ranks of Raul Menendezes movement, and perhaps even the cartel. Could this be Liam? The boyfriend that Raul mentioned?

- @askliamdawson

"Hm? I don't remember dropping any wallet." He replied before checking his pockets, which were normally secured, only to find his wallet gone. "Oh. I guess I did drop it. Um. Thank you. And you are...?"

"Ironic, isn't it? I'm crying my eyes out on the same man who hated my family. The same man who killed my father. He's probably rolling in his grave right now if he saw us. I know Uncle Frank would be so disappointed in me, and he'd probably kill you on the spot." David replies, looking distraught and exhausted with grief, the same look he had when he found out his dad died.

Hey!!! David!!!

Menendez was back

I found two more cats, here, you have them. I already got like- five at home.

He proceeds to him him two very pretty cats. One is a British shorthair cat, and another is a black cat.

- @cordiesdiecomesback

"Jesus christ, where did you come from—" He then looked at the kittens, scooping them up into his arms. "They have names?" He asked, petting them. He's gonna have to get them their own room..

[section-askblog]

David just nodded, doing some deep breathing to calm himself down. He's a bit embarrassed about the emotional outburst, but he also seems very appreciative of the support. He just adjusted the beanie, having it just like how his father did before he just sighed, pulling away. He didn't want to make Raul any more uncomfortable than he thought he already had.

[section-askblog]

He was rambling about how crying didn't make people weak (he's mainly trying to convince himself more than Raul at this point) as he sobbed against Raul's shoulder. If you told ten year old David Mason this would happen, he would have laughed and denied it. Not to mention that his teammate's death was also hitting him way too hard for it to be just teammates, if you had asked Hudson. But the teammate who had passed was David's best friend too. Every year since his death, he'd look towards the right a little too long to the point where it's noticeable, but he doesn't stay distracted for long. He knew better than that.

[section-askblog]

David had tensed up at the sudden affection, not used to having affection from anyone other than his Uncle Frank or his dad, and even that was scarce. Then, there were the tactical cuddle sessions with his teammate before he was killed, but David refused to talk about it. Because that'd meant he'd had to address the feelings that were there. And he was not opening pandora's box today. Nuh-uh. It took a bit, but David just hugged Raul back with one arm, the other still holding his father's beanie like it was a lifeline before he... broke down in tears? He missed his family a lot, even though he knew where Woods lived.

(Mannn, I feel so bad, but I also like making poor David suffer. (As if he hasn't suffered enough already 😭)

[section-askblog]

David goes silent at the beanie, caressing the fabric. It was his dad's favorite beanie. Never would go a day without it. He didn't even realize a tear had started rolling down his cheek. Or how much he had truly missed his dad. "I haven't seen them in a while, you know. My dad. Or Uncle Frank." He mumbled quietly as one of the cats from earlier had walked back up to the men and cried for attention.

Why do I have a feeling you'd be like one of those dads who didn't want the pet at first but then end up being the closest to said pet?

a strange little dog lays at your feet plump, round, and undeniably happy. you have no idea how it got there, why it's there, or if it is even real, but somehow you don't seem to mind. strange!

used as a pillow is a sizable (and noticably nibbled into) bag of cookies. if you take a look at the tiny thing's muzzle, you can see a shameless display of crumbs. cheeky little fella, it certainly ate some of your cookies! that is forgivable though; it probably delivered them to you!

you recieved: A Pretty Sizable Bag of Cookies (assorted, nibbled into) ×29

+13 hp

boosts charisma

i brought u a cookie but i eated it :(

David i's a little concerned, but he's glad the pupper is safe and sound from its journey. :)

(Ahhh I'm sorry I didn't know what to put here)

[section-askblog]

"... Excuse me, what!?" Clearly, David was never told about Woods being with his father like that. He wasn't sure what to think or how to feel about it. He also couldn't deny that he, too, had thought they'd be a cute couple when he was younger, but he'd never voiced it. Especially since... well, stuff happened. He then nods at Raul's story about Liam, his expression turning solemn. "I'm glad you feel safe with him. Even after everything, you still deserve support.

David just chuckled. "I'm sure people would. People aren't very smart anyways. It must be scary, living out of the closet that our older generations would have you /us/ killed for.... I mean... I don't think my... father, and my Uncle Frank would be haters like that, but... I don't think they'd welcome it with open arms, either.."

"I don't plan to tell anyone. It is not my story to tell. I can relate to the feeling of not being out. Feels pretty suffocating, actually." He replies, kind of rambling. Did this idiot just... ahem.
