Honors' Night - Part One of Three
Aug. 21st, 2011 10:19 amPairing: Hannibal/Russ, Hannibal/OMC
Rating: R
Warnings: mentions of child abuse
Summary: A fill for this prompt on the kink meme.
We see lots and lots of stories about families. Face/Murdock/BA where their family past is traumatic.
Let's see Hannibal have his share.
My idea is this, (and it's been in my head for AGES, and I mean AAAAAGES and yes it's got elements of Harry Potter in it.)
Boss was the child of another man, an affair kept secret by his mother till say, she was 7 months in. She's told her husband the baby is his, but the husband (John Snr) eventually finds out the truth just before the birth, and promptly loses any kind of bond/love that he had for his unborn child. As a proud, traditional man, he can't bear the shame of bringing up another man's child. So he sires another baby with Hannibal's mother (my brain wants to call her Joyce and idk why) before John Jnr really has any time to bond with his biological mother.
So another is born, (boy/girl doesn't matter), and this child is very much favoured by his/her parents. The father, since the child is biologically his, and the mother, who realizes how much easier life is with her increasingly violent husband if she just backs down and accepts his wishes, much as it kills her to see her first born son treated like dirt.
John is subjected to all kinds of horrible things due to this. Author can pick and choose and add if they so please, but these have been in my head.
-Less friends due to the low-rate clothes his parents buy for him from thrift stores.
-The other kids think he's weird because he can't do simple things like tie his school tie, or do up his laces (something a parent teaches their kids to do)
-Not being allowed to participate in family meals, being told to eat away in a separate room.
-No birthdays/christmases/family trips out. He's just left to wander around the streets.
-Beatings from his father when he's found to be doing academically better than his brother/sister. John's obviously cleverer than him/her, and his grades show it, but instead of praise, he's punished. He doesn't get to go to college, because they didn't save any money for him, his father deeming him a worthless bastard fit for the gutter.
But when his school hold a career day and he meets Major Russell Morrison, he realizes that maybe, just maybe, theres hope for him afterall.
/insanely long prompt
When Major Russell Morrison drops by his high school, John Lewis realizes his life might not have to be as worthless as he’s constantly being told it is...
( On to the story! )
