Sorry i haven't updated in a while lol! Been working on quite a few different things!

"Shit shit shit shit shit..!" Runaan muttered angrily. Ethari looked him up and down, then realised what he did and blushed.
"What's wrong?" He asked, covering his face slightly.

"I have to go and apologise to my father and I don't want to.." Runaan said, pacing back and forth. They both stood alone in a neighbouring forest, near the village.
"He's such a dick."

Ethari looked at him again.
"Im sure he is, I don't want to be the one to say 'But he's your father and you're family' but...Runaan." Runaan looked into his eyes when he heard him say his name.

"You'll have no where to stay! You...you'll be alone. Outside. And...yeah!" Ethari continued. Runaan hesitated.
"Yeah.. i guess.. but I never got along with my father anyways. He was never really... properly there for me when I was much younger. I had to rely on my mother. But when she passed away.." he winced at the thought.
"I guess I just.. I don't know. This is silly. Ignore all this shit." He shook his head. Ethari reached up and held his face in his hands.

"It's not silly. I.. I will never fully understand but I'll try my best to, and I will support you all I can. Wherever and whenever." He smiled. Runaan smiled sadly back. Ethari kissed him gently and squeezed his hand in comfort. Runaan's smile slowly dropped again.

"But I have made my decision. Im not going back. The only apology to be said here, is one from him." Runaan said sternly.
Ethari stared into his eyes.
"I will respect whatever decision you make." He said. Runaan smiled at him gratefully.
"Thank you, Ethari."

Ethari's face warmed up when he heard Runaan say his name.
"If you'd like to, you can stay at my place. My mothers will be there but I'm sure they'll welcome you." Ethari suggested.

"I- wait really? I mean... uh... thank you!" Runaan looked surprised.
"Thank you." He repeated. He hugged Ethari and held him like it was the last time he'd ever see the love of his life.

"Come on. I'll introduce you!" Ethari cried in excitement, and led him back the house.
