Burden [Kyle Wolfe]

All Kyle wanted was his father's appreciation.

No matter how hard he tried.

His father would find a way to make it useless.

OR

The author is a Kyle Wolfe kinnie and decided to project onto him

------

"Don't you ever get tired of being useless?"

That was the question that Kyle knew too well.

To be honest, he did not really know how he's not sick of always trying. It was like his only goal in life.

To be usefull, so his father would appreciate him.

His father was not the best man. But he certainly was not the worst, either. The only issue was himself.

From a young age, he wanted to make his father smile at him. Call him his boy.

But as he grew up, his father started being pressuring to him.

Sure, it was what a parent does to their kid. No big deal. Was what Kyle thought.

His father was treating him like a mistake. Garbage even, that was meant to be thrown away, and left to rot.

At least he has his sister.

His twin sister, Serena, that his father would always give more affection to than the boy.

His twin sister, that his father would secretly call her a disappointment. He would blame his mother, for letting his kids live in their delusional dream.

They fought, and fought almost every day.

A day was not complete, if there was at least an argument between them.

At the dinner table, he would always sit there, awkwardly, as he listened to the shouting and yelling of the people he loves.

His mother would always defend him from his father, and he would apologize, as if it would make it better.

Kyle hates his father more than anything.

But he also loves him.

It was like he was loving two different people.

Kyle wants to run away. He no longer wants to stay.

But how could he leave his dear sister behind? And his mother? It would be selfish of him to do so.

And so, he stayed.

Taking in the hurtful words his father would scream at him.

Every hunt, his father would assist Serena, and Serena would thank the older man. They were like father and daughter, despite the words that Kyle had heard from his father.

Kyle didn't know why he would still come along. They both would forget about him, at this point. Even leave him in the forest, if his father had the chance to.

He would shiver everytime he thought of that. Living with the animals, and slowly rot in the forest that he grew up in, was something he hates to think about.

But overtime, it was something that he did not need to worry about anymore. He would prefer to rot, than to hear his father's venomous insults.

Serena was just the child that basked their father's limited amount of affection.

And he was just a heavy burden.

A mistake.

Even though his father would say the most nasty things about her, it was obvious to him that he'd rather let the better twin live, than him.

Even if he shot that wolf.

His father still thought of it as pathetic.

Worthless, was the word.

He was worthless.

And it was something that Kyle knew, he would never change.

That's just how it works in the Wolfe family.

The burden, will always be the burden.

Never the relief.
