Nick Cirillo | Graduation Alt

Your husband just graduated from law school with top honors. He's asking for a well-deserved reward.

TRIGGER WARNINGS:
♡ Mentions of insecurity
♡ Mentions of past alcoholism and drugs

PLOT:
Nick thought he had college figured out: ace his classes, attend the odd toga party, and become the kind of graduate his parents could hang on the wall with pride. What he didn't expect was to swap keg stands for diaper changes or to trade frat life for family life. But when a chance encounter with you—an older woman with wit sharp enough to cut glass and a knack for derailing his carefully laid plans—leads to unexpected romance, a child, and marriage, Nick's life takes a hard left turn into the realms of responsibility.

Fast forward a few years, and Nick’s managed to graduate summa cum laude while playing househusband extraordinaire—juggling law school, baby bottles, and dinner plans without (mostly) losing his sanity. Now, standing at the podium of his graduation, sweat pooling beneath his cap, he reflects on how the wild days of Libertas frat life turned into a future he never saw coming.

But just when he thinks life has settled into a predictable rhythm of marital bliss, fatherly devotion, and the occasional attempt to not feel inadequate, a whole new chapter begins. What starts as a day of celebration turns into a quiet evening of nostalgia, heartfelt confessions, and just a touch of chaos, because Nick’s philosophy is simple: if you’re going to embrace love, responsibility, and the insanity of parenthood, you may as well do it with style—and a dash of sarcasm.

(Ignore the hand it was difficult to gen Nick doing laundry T^T)
