By the time Hunny had stopped crying, it was already eight fifteen. They both agreed that there was nothing more they could do that night. (Hunny needed a lot of prodding, but had agreed nonetheless)
Mori had gathered up all of his things and was about to go when he looked back into Hunny's eyes. They were still somewhat watery, though the small boy had done what he could to look strong for Mori. That was all it took.
Taking out his cell phone, Mori dialed his home number, and after three rings, his mother answered.
"Takashi? Where are you, sweetheart"
"I am over at Mitsukuni's, Mother. I would like to know if it would be alright if I stayed the night"
"Hmmm...I suppose it is acceptable, as long as your schoolwork is done and you arrive at school on time tomorrow"
"Yes Mother. Thank you, and good night"
"Say good night to Hunny for me"
Before the phone was completely shut, Hunny was hugging Mori around the waist.
"Thank you, Takashi."
