Good Dad Darius - Tumblr Posts
Headcanons for Darius adopting Hunter when they have stopped Belos and everything settles down. They settle into a routine.
1) Darius still runs abomination courses for the students who want to learn that type of magic or hone their skills. Hunter comes and goes into the abomination magic building as much as he pleases.
2) While Darius is very protective of Hunter, Hunter grows to be very protective of him right back. Do not talk bad about Darius in front of Hunter, ever.
3) While Darius is firmly on the side of good, it doesn’t mean he’s actively nice either. Due to this, people who don’t know him well are extremely surprised by how good of a dad he is to Hunter. Like, Darius will be roasting people verbally for making him mad and doing dumb things, and Hunter will walk up, and Darius’s whole demeanor changes. Someone who Darius just chewed out will watch, flabbergasted, as Darius is a kind, caring father to Hunter.
4) Make no mistake, Darius and Hunter are still Darius and Hunter. They may love each other very much, but they both are kings of snark. They will snark at each other often, but the affection and care underneath is obvious.
5) No matter how busy he is, Darius makes it a point to go to every Flyer Derby match Hunter is involved in. He’ll put the days and times of the games on his calendar so he won’t forget. The other parents will never quite get used to former Coven Head Darius showing up, sitting in the bleaches with them, and cheering the students of Hexside on.
6) Darius: So, you have caught an idiotic Belos loyalist? Break every bone in his body!
Hunter*flies into Darius’s office* Hey, Darius, I need to you sign a permission slip for a field trip.
Darius*signs the form after reading it* Here you go, kid.
Darius*after Hunter leaves* Destroy that loyalist.
7) Eda and Darius become very close friends and create chaos wherever they go. Hunter and Luz love it, and Raine has given up on trying to reign them in.
8) Darius has enemies out there who would love to hurt Hunter to get to him. However, after seeing what Darius did to the last person who tried that (even after that person was taken down by Hunter first), none of them are brave enough to try. They don’t want to be drinking their meals through a straw, no thank you.
9) Every time Hunter goes running off with his friends, or comes back home to excitedly tell Darius about his day, Darius is filled with pride.
10) Flapjack likes sleeping on Darius’s head because his hair is so soft, and Hunter has multiple pictures of it.
11) Hunter and Amity do become close friends, and Darius does his best to try and tolerate Alador for Hunter’s sake.
12) Darius has asked Eda and Raine to take care of Hunter should something ever happen to him. Eda and Raine readily agree, because they both love that kid too.
13) Hunter gets addicted to spa days due to Darius. If you want to find Darius on an off day and Hunter is not with his friends, then go to the spa. They will be there.
