open to; m/f/nb(18+ still but NO FUNNY BUSINESS) v;2 (with a few tweaks) plot; allen used to provide respite to children, but had to stop when he started his business, now he’s meeting up with a kid he used to look after on weekends
allen was sat in a booth at his favourite diner, a few blocks away from his apartment that he’d take the other for pancakes on saturdays. he still frequents it, and gets free refills on his coffee. once he’s done pouring sugar and stirring his fresh cup, he hears the bell on the door, looks up, and grins. “well, what the hell? come here,” he beamed, opening his arms for a hug. “how have you been, kid?”
