AN: This was inspired by seeing the title of HelanaHolland's fic, Just A Scared Little Boy. So it just snowballed into this, the title worked as a prompt and I ran away with it. I shall be posting a couple of other short fics in the near future. Oh, and go and listen to Tom Law's If I Ever Lost You. Anyway, R&R please!

The Adult That Should Never Have been
Prosper; you're just a scared little boy.
You don't' know much,
You shouldn't have this on you
Had to grow up too soon,
Never got a real 12 year old coming-of-age.
Thrust into the adults age;
Too young to understand,
Too young to deal.
Now you get to be.
But your friend Scipio, is drowning.
And you can't help him,
You shouldn't have to,
You've just got your life back.
But I know you,
And you want to,
Because you're the parent that should never have been…
AN: Caps lock at the start of every sentence is deliberate.
