( @troubledtm. ) -- sc. / micah.
perfection is not entailed nor demanded in life such as this. they’re runaways or whatever , aren’t they ? barely adults with a kid who’s scared shitless. they just got their own place , frankie working odd jobs to make ends meet. he wants micah to stay home. bodhi needs someone at home with him , and frankie just ain’t good enough.
coming home late meets too much racket for people who sleep so lightly. he hears bodhi’s feet hit the floor the second he sets his keys down. a soft HUSH falls through frankie’s lips as he picks the boy up , mumbling something about ‘ don’t wake up your brother , he’ll murder me. ’ IT DOESN’T WORK. even when bodhi’s back in bed , he’s as restless as ever.
frankie sits at the edge of the couch , knowing micah is likely awake by now. he kicks off his boots , palms pressed to his face for just a second. ❝ SORRY. i tried ta’ be quiet. ❞
