[color=#e99fff]"Well to be honest my parents weren't very happy when I first decided to move to the US, but after that initial upset they've been fine. I mean I've got a good life for myself out here..."[/color] He paused for a moment before glancing over to Dustynn with a smile. [color=#e99fff]"...it's gotten even better in the last few weeks though."[/color] Returning his gaze back to the road Leo continued. [color=#e99fff]"Then theres my brother Alex. Typical younger brother, annoying little shit as a kid but then he hit eighteen and suddenly turns into someone not entirely unbearable. Jokes aside, we are really close, well as close as you can be being a thousand of miles apart."[/color] Steering his car into the approaching turn, Leo and Dustynn found themselves moving down a road flanked by a spattering of log cabins. Leo's was towards the end of the road so he continued on. [color=#e99fff]"The one thing that always makes me laugh is that when Alex came out, my parents were much more supportive of him than when I said I was moving away."[/color] Leo laughed as he remembered the memory of when Alex told his parents. [color=#e99fff]"Alex had been so worried, especially after seeing their initial reaction my parents had to me wanting to move. Then when he told them they didn't bat an eyelid. My mums exact words were, [i]'So what? Just get in the kitchen and clean the dishes!'[/i] We always joke about it, but that moment just summed up our family...i'm lucky."[/color] With his [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fairytailfanon/images/9/90/Shadowcast.png/revision/latest?cb=20160206020959]cabin[/url] coming into view Leo took a moment before turning to Dustynn. [color=#e99fff]"Well there it is."[/color] Gesturing with his head towards the large wooden structure, Leo was already looking forward to getting more comfortable, he felt like he was soaked through to the bone. Turning up the driveway and bringing the car to a stop, he paused. Warmth and comfort were mere metres away but he didn't want to leave the car, he had to ask Dustynn about her family. He turned to her and with a solemn voice spoke, [color=#e99fff]"So what about your family? Is everything ok?"[/color] Before she could answer more words left Leo's mouth. [color=#e99fff]"I just mean...the way you put your phone away and then asking about family out of the blue..."[/color] He looked her in the eyes with a loving gaze and gave her a soft smile. [color=#e99fff]"...I'm here for you if you need me to be."[/color] Reaching over he took hold of Dustynn's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. [/color]
