[Jusis can definitely understand the feeling. He's already decided that he's not going to be like his father. No child deserves that, and he wants the cycle to end there. Whatever support he can give to Fugo, he will.

For now, he'll simply keep hugging the kid until Fugo is ready to let go. Jusis might not know how to really be a parent, but he understands the importance of the kid being the one to back away first. At least, that's what it felt like in his own childhood when his mom or uncle hugged him.]

[... He'll let himself linger a bit longer in the hug before he pulls back, a small smile on his face.]

It... it means a lot to me. Thank you.

[noblerise]

[Jusis pulls back as Fugo does, and gives him a small smile in return.]

It's simply the truth. But you're welcome.

[He ruffles the teen's hair gently, but certainly affectionately.]

Now, let's make sure we have everything ready for Morgan to move in.

[He'll definitely be hitting the grocery store tomorrow after work to have enough food for three instead of two.]

I'll go ahead and take care of what I can. You were making tea, weren't you?

[He doesn't want to take Jusis away from that!!

Or at least, he doesn't want to take him away from that more than he already has, whoops.]

You should try to relax a little for now.

[noblerise]

[Jusis doesn't seem at all bothered by it. Fugo is definitely more important than his tea.]

Very well, but I'm not going to make you do all of it. There'll be a cup waiting for you, too, if you want one.

Right, right...

[He smiles sheepishly and nods.]

I would. Thanks.

[noblerise]

[He smiles.]

Then one will be waiting.

[Jusis gently gestures in a shooing motion.]

Go on, then. And thank you for the help.
