Path to school life

As the day's last rays of sunlight faded, Luca's eyelids grew heavy, lulled by the soothing sound of his father's voice. The story came to a close, and his father shut the book, the soft creak of the leather cover a comforting sound.

"The little turtle won the race," his father concluded, a gentle smile on his ridiculously handsome face. His dad was like a superhero - tall, strong, and mysterious, with piercing blue eyes that twinkled like the stars on a clear night. His messy black hair only added to his rugged charm, and his bright white shirt seemed to glow in the fading light.

Luca's curiosity, however, remained wide awake. "Dad, why did the fox lose?" he asked, his voice tinged with innocence. "Did the little turtle cheat? He surely gave him sleeping pills."

His father chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and shook his head. "No, Luca. The little turtle just kept going, while the fox got distracted." He leaned in, a conspiratorial glint in his eye. "You know, Luca, sometimes even superheroes get distracted. But the little turtle? He's like the ultimate superhero - slow and steady wins the race!"

The room, filled with Luca's toys and books, seemed to grow quieter, as if the superheroes on the shelf – Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man – were listening in on the conversation. The car-shaped bed, with its red curtains, seemed to loom large in the fading light, like a giant, sleepy monster.

Luca thought for a moment, his brow furrowed in concentration. "If I were the fox, I would have taken a nap at the end of the race," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

His father nodded, a hint of a smile on his face.

As the silence deepened, Luca's father asked, "Luca, would you like to have friends?"

The question seemed to hang in the air, and for a moment, Luca didn't respond. Then, in a voice barely audible, he said, "Yes, Dad. I'd love to."

As his father stood to leave, Luca's small hands grasped his shirt, holding on tight. "Dad, don't leave me again," he pleaded, his eyes still closed. The fear of abandonment a raw, unhealed wound.

His father's expression softened, and he sat back down beside Luca. "I'm sorry, Luca," he said, his voice low and gentle. "I know I've been away a lot lately." He wrapped his arms around Luca, holding him close.

As the morning sunlight streamed through the windows, Luca's eyes fluttered open, and he was met with a vision of angelic beauty. His father's face, inches from his own, was a picture of serene tranquility. Luca's gaze wandered over the chiseled features, taking in the strong jawline, and the soft, full pink lips. For a moment, he forgot to breathe.

As he gazed at his father, Luca couldn't help but feel a twinge of insecurity. He looked at his own small hands and wondered if he would ever grow up to be as handsome and strong as his dad. Sometimes, he even doubted his own identity. Was he really a boy? Or was it all just a strange illusion born of loneliness?

Luca's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden urge to wake his father. He slowly reached out and touched his dad's nose, his small hand trembling slightly.

But as soon as he made contact, Luca panicked and closed his eyes, trying to escape the responsibility of waking his father. He held his breath, hoping that his dad wouldn't notice.

Khan, however, was not so easily fooled. He had been awakened by the soft touch and was struggling to contain his laughter. As he looked at his son, he saw Luca's eyes scrunched up so tightly that they trembled. It was such a comical sight that Khan couldn't help but chuckle.

With a swift motion, Khan scooped up his son, lifting him off the bed. Luca's eyes flew open, and he let out a tiny yelp of surprise.

Khan, rejuvenated from a restful night's sleep, carried Luca on his shoulders, gathering the child's essentials for a morning routine. As they entered the expansive bathroom, Luca sat perched on Khan's shoulders, both wearing white towels around their waists and holding identical blue toothbrushes. The bathroom boasted ample space, featuring a central hot tub, shower, sink, and shell-shaped storage for toiletries.

After completing their dental routine, Khan and Luca opted for a refreshing cold shower, their preferred choice. As they dried off, Khan began to rummage through Luca's wardrobe, only to discover a plethora of Marvel-themed clothing. It was clear that Luca was a die-hard fan, and had likely instructed Fabian to stock up on these superhero-inspired outfits. Khan chuckled to himself as he selected a sleek Iron Man blue t-shirt, pairing it with black jeans and matching blue Sneakers.

With Luca dressed in his Iron Man attire, Khan turned his attention to his own wardrobe, selecting a sleek black Italian tuxedo that accentuated his chiseled features. He combed his hair, securing it in a neat bun that added a touch of sophistication to his already-dashing appearance.

Luca gazed up at his father, beaming with pride. He felt like showing off his dad's handsome looks to the world and suggested they walk instead of driving. However, Fabian had already prepared the luxurious black Maybach for the special occasion. The vehicle exuded an air of responsibility and refinement, its price tag rivaling that of a luxurious mansion.

As Fabian took the wheel, Khan made the final adjustments to Luca's appearance. Fabian, attuned to his boss's emotions, could sense Khan's excitement and anticipation. He carefully combed Luca's hair, tying it up in a neat bun, but Khan quickly undid it, chuckling at how it made his son look even more endearingly girlish.

Khan's efforts to style Luca's hair were nothing short of comical. He combed and re-combed, even resorting to Google for inspiration, but no matter what he did, Luca still looked uncannily like a girl. Khan's frustration was palpable, but he couldn't help but laugh at his own ineptitude.

Just as Khan was about to concede defeat, the Maybach came to a smooth stop. Luca's face lit up with excitement as he gazed out the window, eager to discover their destination. But his enthusiasm was short-lived, as his eyes landed on a sign that made his heart sink: "School".

Luca's face fell, his disappointment evident. He turned to his father, his eyes pleading for a reprieve. Khan's expression, however, remained resolute, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
