Can it be.. undone?
Hal pursed his lips as she called him that and booked it out of the office. He was silent for about 5 seconds afterwards, before shaking his head and bringing his head forward, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"...'uncle', huh?" he mumbled.
"Maybe it's time I started getting used to it." he said further.
"...maybe it's time I actually allowed myself to truly have a family..." he went on, leaning back in his chair.
'...maybe, after all this time, after all I've been through, after all I've done... maybe I'm finally allowed to experience what having a real family is about...' he thought, looking towards the ceiling absently.

Nate sighed quietly as he made himself a cup of tea, when he heard the doorbell ring.
"Eh?" he mumbled.
"Who could that be?" he wondered, making sure his newly acquired blindfold was secured around his eyes, before making his way to the front door, pausing at it, and then opening it.
"Oh, hey Kiah." he greeted the one that was there.
"Come in." he invited her, stepping out of the way.
Why can't I just be
The one
For once!?
