He doesn't pull away, but doesn't quite return the hug either.

Well, that's a better reaction than before.

"I'm sorry that I was such an idiot," he apologises.

"That's a way to phrase it, I suppose."

"... Such an oblivious prat?" he tries. "I really don't know what came over me," he continues sadly.

"That's closer to the mark." He sighs. "You don't need to be here if you don't want to, I can just—text you later, or something."

"No, I want to be here. I meant it when I said that."

Just how badly did he screw things up?

"Mmhm."

Theo just keeps hugging Sadde. The hug's getting tighter – but not painfully so – as he keeps thinking over his idiocy.

Ugh. He feels so needy, when he should be the one trying to comfort Sadde.

Sigh. "I'm just being weird, ignore me."

"You're allowed to be weird."

Hug.

"I suppose I am. Stupid cards."

Theo doesn't disagree.

Sigh. Sadde gets up and plops down on the lil' sofa over there and then extends his arms forward and closes his hands a few times in a 'gimme gimme' gesture.

So Theo goes over and sits on Sadde's lap, then continues the hug.

And Sadde wraps his arms around Theo and sighs. "Bloody stupid cards," he repeats.

"Yeah. I wonder if we'll ever get one that goes around being an untrained puppy by making people happier instead," he says, not really optimistic about his chances.

"Glow makes floating balls of light and Flower makes flowers."

Sadde snorts. "Clow was insane."

Theo laughs. "Maybe we'll meet one of those next. Didn't Kero say Clow didn't get to pick what he made, though?"

"More or less. It's complicated, and the process of creating a thing often creates something to balance it."

Theo nods, then continues hugging Sadde, resting his head on their shoulder.

"I'm not going home tonight," he says.

"... I should probably text my dad."

Snuggle. "What are you gonna tell him? I don't know if you're allowed to stay here."

"I don't know. Just that... this happened, and that I'm going to try to stay anyway? He'll probably get the idea."

He's still snuggling. Maybe he'll wait a bit before doing it.
