[CFUD: Backdated]

[Allen has finished with the "true form" effect and concerned parties have alternatively fed him, made him cry, or made him go to sleep. In any case he is resting for the night, and Link has grabbed a tabbed notebook and a pen and gone to sit outside to write.]

[It's difficult not to notice]

[allmadeofstars]

[yeah, well, if you finally clued in . . .]

[getting control of himself again, though he didn't make a noise the entire time; his shoulders stop trembling]

[boundbydevotion]

[now it can be awkward tiems]

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

[now I'm going to hug you, actually]

[boundbydevotion]

[...well if you want. I finished saying all the stuff I prepared. Hugs back...?]

[allmadeofstars]

[you either give really terrible hugs, or really excellent ones]

[boundbydevotion]

[Well, it's not unremarkable in any case... hhhoooldssss]

[allmadeofstars]

It's . . . do you really think it's a good idea? I . . . you'll get hurt . . .

[boundbydevotion]

I am aware of the risks...

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

Yeah.

[boundbydevotion]

[pulls away enough to raise an eyebrow at you]

[allmadeofstars]

I mean, you would be aware. You don't do things without thinking.

So . . . I'm really grateful.

[boundbydevotion]

There is no need to thank me...

[allmadeofstars]

If you say so.

[boundbydevotion]

[Nods and starts untangling him]

[allmadeofstars]

[. . . f-flustered]

Haha, ahhh . . .

[boundbydevotion]

What is it?

[allmadeofstars]

Sorry . . .

[boundbydevotion]

There is no need for that either. From now on I am here to support you. [Standing up]

If you are still tired you should go back to sleep. Perhaps you'll rest easier now.

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

[looks up at Link, still kneeling]

[boundbydevotion]

[Do I need to tuck you in? Nudges Allen toward his pillow...]

Well? You know I don't approve of napping during the day.

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

[allmadeofstars]

[laughing]

No, I know.

[boundbydevotion]

[small yawn]

Mm, good. Go to sleep then.
