My dad's gone again.

Christmas- Two in one day [and this spot is blacked out insanely hard]

[a long long pause since he can SO relate]

....I'm so sorry, Naruto.

[oirokenojutsu]

[written;]

Yeah, it's- [pause in his writing] Yeah... it's okay.

[save_the_souls]

Mm...

[A moment later have a knocking at your door ;;]

[oirokenojutsu]

[nngh he should have expected this and is almost tempted not to invite the person in but... he kinda does want some company, actually]

[walks up and opens it, offering Allen a small smile] What're you doing here?

[save_the_souls]

[he gives a very small smile and opens his mouth to speak]

I...

[..you know, sometimes he sucks at words so lets instead just reaches over and gives him a hug. He'll even be wearing gloves and long sleeves so you don't burn ♥ ]

[oirokenojutsu]

[f-fff second surprise hug of the day, though he was expecting it from Allen least of all... since he knows how anti-touchy feely he can be. it's appreciated though and he notices the long sleeves and all :( giving him an awkward pat on the back because he isn't sure if he should hug back or what]

Allen...

[save_the_souls]

[Hey it's only because he's British and he'd fry half his friends, okay? And of course you can hug back you idiot :( ]

Sorry...I just know things like this...are rarely ever okay.

[oirokenojutsu]

[he sort of looks awkwardly outside past Allen and... sees Shinji's nameless door right in front of him, his mood darkening some. and that's when he hugs back a little]

It's just another part of being in this fucked up place. I'm glad people who leave don't have to bear with it anymore.

[save_the_souls]

[Aww poor Naruto, he'll keep hugging until Naruto wants him to pull away]

Mm...[Except your dad seemed totally happy here :| ]

[oirokenojutsu]

[... he was ;_; and not dead.]

[after a while, he pulls back and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, looking to the side] Did you wanna come in or something?

[save_the_souls]

[And with his son and...baw ;_;]

[He'll pull back as well]

Ah, that's up to you, I suppose. I can leave if you rather be alone.

[oirokenojutsu]

[eff this place ;;]

...

I wouldn't mind if you stayed. ["oh god please don't leave me alone right now"]

[save_the_souls]

[Good thing he can speak playing it cool guy and nods]

All right, then I'll stay.

[oirokenojutsu]

[relaxes a bit and walks back inside, some small Christmas decorations he set up himself all around his room rofl]

Er, I don't have much to do in here but it's been a while since we've just... hung out!

[save_the_souls]

[Walks inside with him, glancing around at the Christmas decorations aww how cute]

That's all right! I'm not expecting you to entertain me.

[oirokenojutsu]

[though Chouji-chan trots over and starts to rub up on Allen's legs rofl :| purring]

So how've you been? [plops down on his couch]
