You and Carl are best friends, and you both have shitty families. He has a shitth family because everyone drinks, smokes, and is poor. And Frank is.. frank. You have a shitty family because they’re abusive. You’re constantly at the Gallagher house, 3/4 of your shit is there. Right now, Carl is sitting on the couch with you laying your head on his lap as he treads his fingers through your hair.

“You staying the night?” Carl asked softly as he looked down at you.
