After work he drove to the school and got out of his car happily leaning against it waiting for his son. He spotted Tavros with those three girls from before along with Gamzee and another girl with a blue cat hat. Gamzee had his arm around Tavros's shoulder with a lazy smile and Tavros had his hand on gamzee's shoulder too short to place his arm around the taller boy. Rufioh smiled forgetting everything that had happened hours ago. That was until he felt a hand on his shoulder trying to turn him around. He turned to see the Taller man from before. His breath smelled of alcohol and it made the shorter man wince back, "Ugh! What the fuck?" Rufioh asked. The taller man slurred his words as he spoke, "what are you fucking doing here?" "No, I get to ask that, what are you doing here?" Rufioh asked pushing the drunk man back. "I asked first motherfucker!" He shouted and pushed the elder Nitram back roughly ranking him take a step back. "Okay stop it, I'm here picking up my son." He answered not wanting a fight or cause a scene.

"You have a kid? I thought you were a fag. What? Did mommy send you to camp to fix your head?" Kurloz asked obnoxiously loud befor Rufioh scoffed, "no you ignorant fuck ass I'm bisexual, meaning I like both men and woman. You need to expand your mind. Why are you here any way?" The tall man belched before pointing to Gamzee and Tavros whom were walking over to the two men. "I'm here to pick up my boy." Rufioh turned to the young boys and told them both to get in his car. "What are you trying to do? Kidnap my son? I will fucking end you fairy fuck!" Rufioh angrily opened the back door and shoved the tall man back before screaming at him angrily, "you get the in the fucking car too! I won't allow you to fucking drive you drunk peace of shit!" With an open hand he hit the back of his head as he forced Kurloz's head down to get him in the back seat. Tavros never seen his dad so angry so he remained silent in the front seat. Gamzee both embarrassed and impressed sat staring at the scene from the back seat of the passenger side. With drunken reluctance Kurloz climbed in and growled in the back of his throat.

Rufioh slammed the back door shut and climbed in the driver seat and slammed his driver side door shut. Rufioh began shout in Spanish to Kurloz, "Estúpida puta borracha tratando de conducir! Se podría matar a alguien de usted o su niño! ¡Idiota!" Gamzee looked at Tavros with a curious expression as they drove off. "He said... " Tavros hesitated before deciding to clean up the language, "that your dad was stupid trying to drive drunk. That he could have killed someone himself or you. Then he called your dad an idiot again." "Oh, uh, could you tell him thanks?" The young Capricorn asked Tavros whom smiled and nodded, "Maybe when he is calm. Right now he is in his angry ball." "Angry ball?" Asked gamzee confused. "Dad rearly gets mad but when he does he needs an arms reach perimeter all around so he won't accidentally lash out at anyone who doesn't deserve it and when you try to talk to him it's like he can't hear us." Tavros explained in a soft voice and Kurloz rolled his eyes as gamzee only responded with an "oh."

The elder Nitram forcibly removed the drunken Makara out of his car and helped him to the front door. Gamzee and Tavros talked before the younger Makara got out. Gamzee seemed relaxed and casual as he helped his drunken father into the ugly house. Before rufioh was out the gate he heard Kurloz barf on the threshold of the home. Rufioh sighed and moved to Kurloz and Gamzee again. He couldn't let a kid be alone with a drunken parent and he can't leave the helpless drunken man alone. "Okay, I can't let you in good conscience let you be alone. How about you both come to our home until your dad is okay." The elder Taurus smiled sweetly at Gamzee as he grabbed his father by the back of the neck and lead him back to the car as Gamzee nervously followed. "Are you sure you all up an mothe- I mean do you really want us at your house? From what I saw... You and my dad don't get along." Gamzee scratched at his chin with a worried expression. "Gamzee I don't have a problem with you just your dad. We didn't get along as kids but I guess if it's for yours and my little bullfighter's sake I will try to get along with..." He looked down at tall man as he helped him into the car, "ugh. Your dad." He closed the door before reaching into the passenger window to tustle Tavros's hair. "So what would you like to eat for dinner Tav?" "Pot roast!" Tavros chimes as he smiled up at his dad. Gamzee smiled and got into the car with home Rufioh changed and started to cook with Tavros as Kurloz slept on the elder Nitram's bed leaving Gamzee to play video games in the front room cursing every so often at the screen. Rufioh looked at his son who was a setting the table for four. "You know you can go keep him company. I will be fine on my own. It's not like I will burn the house down."

"I'm okay, I like cooking with you." Tavros smiled happily. Rufioh felt his heart melt with joy and he couldn't help but smile too. They went about their normal cooking routine as they playfully called each other their special nick names. They didn't notice Gamzee watching from the entry to the kitchen nor did they see Kurloz sleepily gaze at them from over the kitchen divider. As soon as they turned to place the serving dishes filled with food on the table they jumped almost spilling gravy mashed potatoes and assorted vegetables everywhere. "God, you both scared me." Rufioh stated as he placed the food down and clutch at his heart. "Me too." Said Tavros breathlessly. Rufioh moved to get a glass of water for Kurloz as Tavros moved to Gamzee happily and walked back into the front room to play a little bit of his games before dinner. Rufioh slid the glass of water across the divider not looking at the man whom broke his heart all those years ago. "Drink this. It will make you feel better. Dinner will be ready so if you want to eat you will have to wait a little longer. There was a small moment of silence before the elder Capricorn spoke, "Do you always do this?" He asked curiously. Rufioh looked up at him before asking, "What?" as he crossed his arms. "Cook, clean, and spend time with your kid." Kurloz clarified as he eyed the shorter man. This made Rufioh smile and look down, "Of course. Family is everything to me." The elder Makara only grunted before drinking the water and placing the glass down.
