Apologies are kind of hard.

I'm sorry you're not good at apologies, Grampa Mike! *:D? :D?*

[hottestgrandpa]

Yeah. I am too.

But seriously, I'm sorry. It will never happen again.

[snakehalf]

I don't think you can promise that, Grampa.

[hottestgrandpa]

I guess not. But I can promise I'll try my best.

[He stares at him. No words. Just stating.]

[hottestgrandpa]

[Ok. Well, he didn't think he'd make it easy.] Look, I'm sorry. I did a shitty thing. I really am sorry. It will not happen again. And I'm taking care of my issues.

[Arlo doesn't know what to say. He's been trying not to think about Michael. But everytime gets on a broom he can't help but think about him. Then he gets mad all over again. Then sad. And the sad is harder than the mad. And he just wants it all to go away.] Good for you. Hope it works out.

[hottestgrandpa]

You're allowed to be angry. I'd be angry too. I was afraid and I didn't handle it well. I'm sorry and I love you.

*She wasn't even going to give him the chance to apologize but Holden said she didn't deserve to be treated badly and by that same coin, didn't she then deserve an apology? But that doesn't mean she has to make it easy.*
And?

[hottestgrandpa]

[Mike takes a minute before he speaks. He knows he there's a good chance he'll fuck this up.] So. I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry. It's ok if you don't believe that. But I am. All I can say is I'm trying to do better. I'm trying to work on myself and my issues.

I don't trust you. *Saying it makes her realize how much she means it, and that makes her throat close up with something she has to push down. She's a Gryffindor, she's a Flint and a Krum, and she doesn't cry unless someone literally just died. She doesn't.*

[hottestgrandpa]

I know. And I'm sorry for that. I wish I could indio but I can't. All I can do is ...do better going forward. But I do love you and I'm going to keep trying to make you feel safe again

[flashiestflint]

Poor you.

[hottestgrandpa]

I'm going to apologize though. Even if it's hard.

I'm sorry. I was afraid and I shouldn't have taken that out on you.

[flashiestflint]

And that makes it all better? I'm supposed to forgive and forget until the next time you flip out?

[hottestgrandpa]

I'm going to do my best to make sure there isn't a next time.

[blueeyedgrey]

For some people.

[hottestgrandpa]

Hello to you too, Blue.

[blueeyedgrey]

I bet I know why you're here.

[hottestgrandpa]

I came to see my grandchildren.
