Re: Seamus and Open
Ernie hugged Seamus back, loving the fact that his friends were so affectionate. He didn't know what he'd do if they weren't - maybe he'd be reduced to going to an escort for cuddles! He tried not to wince when Seamus mentioned Christmas, which had once been his favourite holiday until his father had decided he didn't want to talk to his gay son. Now, Ernie showed up for his Mum, who then tried to mediate between two men who barely acknowledged each other. "I know I'll definitely need a sleepover near Christmas." He put on a brave smile, not wanting to bring Seamus down - his friend had heard it all already from the occasional venting session.
"That's no fair, you already love me forever. Come on, it's over here," he said as he led the way.
