They drove back to his house after they dropped off Josh. Good riddance, if Mully has to ask himself. He wanted Narrator to spend the rest of his time with him. What would Narrator even want to do with him? He asked himself. Even before he could answer it himself he was alarmed as Narrator yelped in pain, apparently he hit himself on something but then he calls him from the living room.
"Ow! Oh hey, Mully! Is this a photo album?" He heard him say.

"What?" Mully called back.

He walked over to where he was, and found him standing over a box that he left lying around for ages. He completely forgot what that box was for. He looked at the photo album that he was holding. Curious, he opened the box further to find the old things from his room that he left in the box.

"Oh! This must be a box of my stuff from my parents! Damn, I must have forgotten about this when I moved!" Mully took the album and blew the dust off, it was quite dusty from all the years he hasn't opened it.

This kinda excited him because it's been a while since he ever has seen these things. Before he opened the album, he found some old school papers, an old school shirt, and other little things in the box along with it. Mully opened the pages of the album and flipped through the family photos. Narrator was immersed in the photos, wanting to see how cute little Mully looked like when he was younger. 

One photo must have caught Narrator's eye, "Aww, you are so cute back then what were you doing here?"

It was a photo of him looking extremely happy trying to drive one of those push and pull cars that you can control with your feet. He felt his face heat up when he called him cute, you fucktard, shut it!  He cursed himself. He tried distract himself to think what happen that day, the memories were so long ago it's as quite blur he noticed balloons in the background of him and then he remembered.

"Ah, that must of been at like a birthday party or something. I don't know man, it was so long ago butㅡhell yeah, I was cute as fuck."

To prove his point Mully flipped to more of his baby photos to show him. He told him how his mom loved to dress him up in little outfits for the holidays when he was little. Narrator laughed when Mully was showing him the photos. Looking at them took Mully back to memory lane he reminisced the old celebrations, gatherings, family trips, and old friends. It made him wonder where some of his old friends are now. Mully stayed quiet for a bit. Happily, just staring at the photos.

Narrator watched his expression and wonder what he was thinking. He was really glad he happen to  literallyㅡ stumble upon this box. It was nice to see how much Mully was willing to share about his life with him. He obviously cared about his family a lot and it made it feel glad to know how strong his bond was with his family.

"You know what, you wanna meet my family?" Mully suddenly asked him.

"OhㅡUh.. why?  I meanㅡyeah! Sure?" Narrator ended up stuttering.

The question caught him off guard because he never even met any of The Boy's parents yet so Mully would have been the first. Now that he thinks of it although they game together and know a lot about each other lives. They haven't really asked much personal questions like this. Mully seemed so pleased right now, he couldn't bring himself to say no. Mully ended up calling his parents and telling him about the album that they found back. He overheard his mom telling him to come home for dinner tonight since she wanted to meet his friend. Narrator all of a sudden got nervous. He was going to meet Mully parents, what would this mean?

"Aww Mate! This be so nice man, you get to be the first of The Boys my parents would meet!" Mully told him with a lot of enthusiasm.

Narrator couldn't help but feel the enthusiasm as he agrees saying he couldn't wait to see them. His mom was overjoyed to hear that, he could clearly tell she dotted on Mully a lot. It was perfect timing since his dad just came back from work so they agreed to meet in a few hours. Mully was in such a good mood after the call he couldn't help but catch his happiness.

"You know you might be the first new person my parents get to meet in a while, I mean after my ex I didn't really bring anyone over," Mully told him.

"Way to rub in the suspense dude," Narrator laughed nervously.

Mully laughed with him, his expression down cast a little, "Nah, my family would love you don't worry about it!"

He patted his back, he repositioned his legs as they sat on the couch to let Mully rest his on his lap. Narrator didn't know what to make of his actions but he just let Mully lay there.

"Why didn't you have anyone over?" He asked him.

Mully was silent for a bit before giving an answer, "I don't know.. guess after the breakup it tore me apart. Couldn't be asked to take to anyone worthy enough to visit them, ya know?  Until I met you guys."

"Not even... Josh?" He asked him.

Mully hummed, "Nah, he would have been, but yeah.."

"...Yeah?" Narrator whispered, Mully just hummed in agreement.

Caught up in the moment, wasn't aware he accidentally ran his fingers through Mully's hair. He didn't understand why Josh didn't meet his parents or the relationship they had, he was scared to ask. He knew Mully and Josh had a special bond even though Josh pissed him off a lot times. He felt kinda sad about how Mully must have felt after the heartbreak, he personally knew it was a terrible experience. He just realized that he was still running his fingers through Mully's hair and stopped abruptly. Mully opened his eyes and looked up at Narrator with a confused look.

"Uh... sorry, Iㅡuh, didn't realize." Narrator stumbled on his words.

He was so stupid caught up in his thoughts to not know what he was doing. Mully must have to be thinking of how stupid this situation was as he tried to take his hand off of Mully's head. His heart skipped a beat when he grabbed his hand he placed it back on his hair.

"Tis fine.. can you uhm... do it again? Dunno feels kinda nice." Mully mumbled.

Narrator could feel his heart beating out of his chest as he continued running his fingers through his hair. The moment made him Mully feel very warm and secure. He didn't even know he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
