One: Confusing puberty

Plot: Being a teenage boy and one without a father no less, Bobby Lee enlists the help of Roland when what he thinks is part of puberty starts showing up unexpectedly.

"Come in Robert."

Robert Lee Johnson or Bobby Lee for short would normally never go into in his majesty's office on the weekends as he walked inside with a worried face being his expression at the moment. Especially when he wasn't all that needed.

But with his own father deceased long ago which he didn't remember too well and his mother (while a great woman) wouldn't be able to understand his situation.

To the newly turned fifteen year old he couldn't fathom it. The deepening of his voice and why it was squeaky at the moment? Yes he knew what it meant and he knew it well. But going to bed and waking up to wet pillows and sheets confused him.

And embarrassed him when his mother had found it, having her think that he had been drooling on his pillow or had wet the bed like he did as a child until first grade.

But he knew it wasn't either instead it was more like sweat which he knew well from humid summer days and junior guard training.

Was what he experienced the night before part of puberty? Being a teenager was confusing enough with unwanted hair and urges and voice deepening but now mystery sweats?

"Have you been training son?" Roland asked, getting him out of his thoughts and showing a concern smile.

"No sir I mean King Roland. I just woke up sweaty," Bobby Lee explained, knowing that Roland called him son out of respect and often when they weren't in the public. "I just thought you would help me. Considering that you helped me since the beginning of well you know."

"Your puberty? I know son but while you and I know that you're still going through it with your voice and your urges around Nell," Roland chuckled before seeing Bobby Lee blush, clearing his throat. "But I'll be willing to help with your problem. So you just woke up sweaty?"

"Yes but with no explanation as to why. Our house wasn't sweaty and I didn't feel that way so what's going on? Is it apart of puberty?" Bobby Lee wondered in worry, biting his lip. "Is it normal?"

"Slow down Robert before you stress yourself out," Roland softly beckoned, remembering at a time where puberty confused him as well. "Now do you remember what you were dreaming of last night?"

"Helen. Just her King Roland. Nobody else."

"Should've know from your crush on her son. Is that what caused the sweating?"

Bobby Lee blushed, trying to get it to fade away from his face. "Well I think I had an urge while dreaming and I think my face got hot a little."

"Well I think we solved this mystery!" Roland laughed before beckoning Bobby Lee to close the door to his office for a moment. "Robert, you just had your first wet dream. Now don't worry it's more common in teenage boys than girls and it's normal in puberty son. I believe it happens in adulthood too but not as much."

"Mother opened my window last night. She wanted the warm air to come," Bobby Lee recalled, now realizing the sweat on his face. "I must've forgotten to close it like I usually do in the middle of summer nights. But I'm just so ashamed about what I did without knowing it. I'm sorry. I'm not your son and you're not my father but I just-"

"Robert, son, it's alright. You don't need to explain further," Roland gently hushed as Bobby Lee did something that he hadn't done since he was a boy with his own father. Buried his face in Roland's chest and cried.

Roland could only stroke Bobby Lee's blonde curls as gently as he could, being much of a shock that the boy that respected him and his family was crying away on his chest.

The boy that he called son had been deprived of a father figure for so long that Roland couldn't help try to be a replacement for as long as he could.

Besides James was still a little too young for more adult conversations like politics and crime which often got Bobby Lee fired up whenever mistreatment of children were involved.

Roland could only chuckle that a bunch of grown adults get their mouths zipped shut by an adolescent before Bobby Lee looked up at him before taking a tissue from the tissue holder that Roland kept mostly for sweat and crying little ones.

Bobby Lee tried to apologize for the action, explaining that he just couldn't help himself and offered to leave before his emotions started to change again as Roland shook his head, taking his hand.

"Son you're allowed to see me whenever you want. A talk about your day, puberty, anything," Roland muttered with a smile, messing up Bobby Lee's hair. "I'll always have my office door opened a crack so you can see if I'm inside."

Being fatherless since he was four and confused on what to say to the man that treated him like a son despite their differences in class, Bobby Lee gently nodded his head in response and shook hands with Roland as a proper thank you.

Maybe puberty wouldn't be so confusing to him now that he had a father figure to help him out.
