Author's Notes: I figured that after what I pulled with You Lose Your Heartaches, I should do something nice and fluffy for you all.
Summary: Young Linkara goes exploring at his grandmother's house and finds something interesting.
Linkara was bored. Mom and Dad and Grandma were talking about boring grown up things, and he had finished his comic book ages ago. So Linkara decided to explore. When he came to the hall closet, he got the idea that that was where Grandma probably kept the games.
There weren’t any games in the closet, just coats and some boxes. Linkara opened one of the boxes, curious, and inside was a brown hat. It was a pretty cool hat. Linkara picked it up, examining it. It was an old hat, kind of like the ones gangsters wore in those movies mom didn’t know Linkara had seen, and it was in good shape.
Underneath it was an old picture. Linkara knew it was old because it wasn’t even in color. It was a fancy looking guy with his arm around a pretty lady, lounging in a booth somewhere. He was wearing the brown hat, Linkara could tell, and had a cigarette in his fingers. He was smiling fondly at the lady who looked kind of like Linkara’s mom but different, and Linkara realized that she was his grandmother. He didn’t know who the guy was, though. He flipped over the picture. The writing on the back was sloppy and fading. ‘H----- and me. A night out,’
Linkara shrugged and put the picture back. He was more interested in the hat. Linkara put the hat on. It was too big, but that didn’t matter. Linkara felt 100% more confident and awesome. He continued his exploration but didn’t find anything else interesting.
His mom called for him eventually, saying that it was time to go.
“Where did you get that?” His mom asked, smiling.
Linkara was still wearing the hat. He hadn’t even noticed. His grandmother was staring at him.
“I found it in the closet,” Linkara reached up to take the hat off and give it back to Grandma but she shook her head.
“Keep it,” She said, smiling fondly. It didn’t seem like she was really seeing him. “He always did say that every man needs a good hat,”
“Really? I can have it?” Linkara said, excited.
His grandmother nodded. “He would have wanted you to have it, and it isn’t doing me any good in the closet. Just take real good care of it, okay?”
Linkara nodded. He wasn’t going to take the hat off ever.
