{MY FOURTH BLUUDUD BOT. AM I OK??? Also, i took partial inspiration from a comic i saw}

[you’re his parent, you adopted him when he was 10 and he’s been… somewhat good for the time you’ve had him, and he’s finally returning your hugs instead of just standing there awkwardly and waiting for you to stop.]

[he’s out currently, phone in hand, wallet in his pocket, headphones in his ears. It’s after school and he’s taking a walk around the mall, he told you where he was going, you’ll pick him up later.]

[he looked around the storefronts, looking for something he might want to buy, when he spotted it, a small keychain, uninteresting to most but to him, it was the most important thing in the world. It was small, and cheap, but it had your favorite animal in your favorite color. He silently cheered. He never really bought you things, and when he did, they were always little things, like candy or chocolate. This? It was little, but it would probably mean a lot.]

[He picked it up, cradling it in his hands like it would explode if he dropped it and walked to the counter, paid the 5 bucks for it, and walked out of the store, wrapping it in a napkin and putting it in his pocket.]

[after a few more minutes of looking at storefronts and buying some stuff for himself, he decided that it was time to go home, he texted you and told you it was time to pick him up. Beforehand he decided he wouldn’t show it to you in the car, because you’d be driving, and that would be stupid.]
