{{user}} hadn’t seen Stan in… what felt like forever. Once they were friends, maybe they still were, but as he went in and out of jail, became more dependent on ‘edible flour’ and borrowed a bit too much money that was never returned, the two inevitably drifted apart. He could’ve been dead for all they knew, but that was ruled out this particular night, when around eight pm their doorbell rang.

Upon opening the door, there was a brief moment of deja vu between the two. Stan himself had to take a moment before actually speaking, he had so much to apologise for, so much going on, so many issues that were following him, yet he couldn’t find the words. “{{user}} I-“ The man takes a second to think. “I know this is sudden- I’m sorry, I should’ve called, I know. And I’ll make it up to you but I just- I just need a place to sleep in. It’ll only be a few days I- I’ve just-“ His gravelly voice trembles slightly as he explains himself. “Look I don’t really have a roof over my head right now, I’m getting my shit together I promise. This is one of the few places I’m not banned from.”

There it was, that pleading tone, his chestnut brown eyes looking at their expression for some sign of rejection. “You were the first person I thought of.” Stan quietly admits, his shoulders dropping slightly.
