“I-It’s..fine.” Joseph said, knowing hugging was natural…right? It wasn’t that big of a deal. When Shini said that, he nodded once more and headed towards the bathroom. As he got inside, he got to his knees and rested his head against the wall, sighing deeply and then slowly beginning to change his clothes, removing the ones he had on and then replacing them with the ones Shini gave him.
It was just a little baggy, but thankfully it managed to stay on. Looking in the mirror, Joseph sighed and looked away only seconds later. Using the bathroom quickly, he then washed his hands and walked downstairs slowly. “Um…Shini?” Joseph spoke while looking at the man. “After eating can…I shower? It’s been a while for me and…I need one.” Joseph said while tugging on the bottom of his shirt.
