When I saw Him I Knew

Disapproval

"Hey Tom, can we talk to you for a second?" Dad said walking into the hallway. "Yah sure something Pops," Tom said, getting up slowly following Dad into the den. Dad closed the den door and then it was silent. The only sound was the blizzard blowing outside. About ten minutes passed when I started to get worried. I got up from the hallway and walked over to the den. I slowly opened the door and heard a lot of yelling. "Why the hell would you think of bringing some masochistic timber wolf into our home? Did you ever think that he could harm us? And lets not forget that he brought a fucking sword into our home? Do you even care about us?" I heard Mom yell. "Of course I care about you, but Shino is a good guy, he makes me happy, and that's all I really care about," I heard Tom respond. "So tell me, what makes him so much more special than all the other people you bring home to us, huh?" I heard Dad say. "Well, he makes me give a shit in life, he gets me out of bed in the morning, he makes my tail wag like no one has ever done, and, he said that i saved him, so, i can't leave him, not that i even want to," he said with a sad tone in his voice. "What do you mean by, saved him?" Dad asked. "The day we met, he was going to kill himself," Tom said. Then there was silence. "Too bad, he should have followed through with it," Dad said. I didn't hear anything else because I ran away from the door with tears in my eyes. I grabbed my velvet sack and ran into a nearby bathroom and crawled into the bathtub crying, clutching my sword close to me. A few minutes later I heard a soft knock on the door. "Hey babe, it's me, can i come in?" he asked softly. I didn't answer. I heard the door slowly open but I didn't look up. "Hey," Tom said, sitting down next to me as he nudged me with his nose. "I know you heard what happened in the den, am i'm sorry for what ya heard," he said, nudging me again with his nose. I didn't respond. I just wrapped my arms around him crying. "There yah go, it's alright you can let it out," he said, stroking my head. I just cried into his chest.
