Dear Dad,
It's father's day today. My teacher is making everyone write a letter to their fathers. I tired to get out of it, because you're kinda dead and all, but she wouldn't let me. It doesn't make sense for me to write a letter to a dead man but if I don't do this she'll call mom and that'll make mom mad.
I don't really know what she expects me to write about though. You've been dead for five years. You died the same day I was born. I've never met you before. The only reason I know who you are at all is because Sam tells me stories about you sometimes. Talking about you makes him sad though. And you're basically taboo to talk about when Mom is around.
Umm. I don't really know what I'm supposed to say. Hi, I'm the son you never got to know because you died the day I was born? We kinda already established that though. Maybe a get to know me?
My name is James Tiberius Kirk but I prefer to be called Jim. You probably already knew this though, since you named me. Uhh. My favorite color is blue. I'm five years old now. I'm really smart for my age and have been using a Padd to take middle school classes while I attend elementary school. Only Sam knows this though. Mom's never home to care anyway. Apparently I have a photographic memory, which I think is super awesome. I can remember so many random and useless trivia facts and annoy Sam or my classmates with them.
Hmm. My favorite thing to do is reading. But like, actual books. The ones made of paper. They're really rare but I've always liked the feel of turning pages more than swiping a padd. I've collected three of them so far. My digital library is huge though. I needed like four padds to store all of the books. One for science and engineering, one for languages, one for medical, and the last one for fiction. I might get another for other random things that interest me someday though.
Okay so the teacher just told us to wrap up our letters since class is almost over. Happy Father's Day I guess.
Love,
Your son Jim
This fic was inspired by my boredom, browsing through other fanfics, and father's day. I've been in a bit of a Star Trek mood lately (aka, the last three days). Don't worry! I haven't forgotten about my other fics. Progress is slow going for them but they are still being written.
No pairings decided yet for this fic. So far it probably won't have any. If I do include any pairings they won't be for at least 60 chapters (which I have already planned ahead for. All that's left is to write them) and it will be between Spock and Kirk. But until I reach that point I won't even think of pairings. This fic is more about Jim writing letters to George.
Please Review, Favorite, and Follow! I'll see you next update!
