[Happy Birthday?]

[stu_isnt_god]

Muds hasn't been around much lately. And when he's been around, he hasn't really been all that...there, really. And when the boy didn't show up at school on his birthday, Stu knew he had to do something. He'd called a couple of times, but there wasn't any answer, and so Stu decided to go over to the Niccals apartment himself. He'd like to think

Murdoc has been living in the winne a lot lately. Whenever Hannibal is home. It's less hot in the apartment, though. He would stay in the cave, but it's been getting hotter and hotter in there

Stu takes a little unconscious step back, brow furrowing. "I, uhm..." He doesn't know what to say, exactly. "...I brought you a present." That...probably wasn't what he should've said.

He shifts a bit, half wanting to take care of Muds, half wanting to just run. It's a very close call, so mostly he just stands there, uncomfortable.

"Stu... Jesus Christ... A present? What the fuck for?"

He steps away from the door, walking back into the apartment. There's a bottle of vodka hanging loosely from one hand, though it's mostly empty now. He leaves the door open to let Stu follow him in. He doesn't want to look at the boy for fear it will lead to screaming, then weeping, then clinging to Stu like a helpless infant for hours.

Now he's really uncomfortable, but he follows Muds inside, shutting the door behind him. "Uhm. A present for, uhm, for your birthday? I brought it to school, but you weren't there...I guess, uhm, you're sick." He hangs back, not sure what to do at all. "I can come back when you're feeling better if you want."
