Henry sat on a bench with Ralph in the pitch black as he led on his shoulder "Ralph, thank you for.. taking me out today." Henry said with a small smile as he kissed Ralphs cheek, Ralph couldn't help but grin to himself- feeling proud he opened up.
Henry looked down and sighed, moving away "you know.. if you go through with this Ralph in the future im going to adopt my sister as my own child, take care of her.. i- im gonna have to look after my mother as well. Are you ready for that? im.. im not all mentally fun and happy Ralph" Ralph just smiled small "Henry.. ive known you for god knows how long and stayed by your side through everything, when you were scared to go to the dentist or get a shot or.. that demon lunch lady" Ralph laughs "i will always be here for you Henry. Even now- helping with your mother and looking after Allie- i love you with all of my heart"
Henry just smiled for a second then said "I love you too.. mate" he grinned wider as Ralph hit his shoulder gently "cor, that demon lunch lady was.. something Ralph" Henry grinned "she was so greedy! im glad she went back to school dinners, even though stew was so gross.." Henry shivered slightly at the thought
They sat in silence for a few minutes and Ralph broke it "point is mate, you are the one i love and always have been and i will always be here for you, Henry. I understand how- unloved you felt in your life and I will shower you with love-.. even though you're stil horrid and im still rude" he lets out a chuckle and Henry nods, holding his hand and kissing it "lets go back..?" Ralph nodded slightly
Ralph and Henry headed back as Ralph thought about his own parents, his mothers death still being a secret to Henry made his heart ache. He still didn't have the guts to speak up about it. He didn't want to say it out loud because then that means its true but the funeral was soon and he really needed Henry.
Once they got back Henry dumped his coat on the rack and Ralph put his with Henrys as he saw Henrys mum standing and cooking dinner, Henry smiled slightly "mum-..?" he walked over and hugged her "oh hi boys!" she said happily "how was school?" Henry looked slightly confused at her "uhm.." she then tilted her head "oh dont be so horrid henry, where your dad? suppers ready" Henry looked at Ralph and gulped slightly, Ralph grabbed her arm softly "lets go sit down miss.white" Henry looked in the pot and there was nothing in there, just water and some chopped carrots.
