[ ...Pfffthaha. He actually laughs at that. A belly laugh from the pit of his stomach. Junko, you clever little minx. Okay so it's not the most clever thing ever he'll admit, but the deception even if it's obviously false will be enough to placate his father. And if the Alpha is pleased by a paltry tribute then no one else is going to really object either. Some minor amount of tension he didn't realize was building up inside of him fades, and he reaches a hand up to idly brush some of her hair back, rub fingers up against her temple.
He was putting it lightly, really. It's been a goddamn insane month, probably for both of them. But was he happy? He thought back on it, everything that had happened. On getting to know Audrey liked him and claiming her, and Junko, and even Nariko, though he doubted all of those claims truly amounted to much. His parents had changed the nature of their relationship, but now a month later, it seemed like everything was becoming normal again, becoming okay again, even if there had been some weird things like Dad's vasectomy and the reactions to it, and Mom being out more.
And he had a car, which was cool. So in the end, glancing at the screen for the football game he couldn't begin to focus on (oh, it was Sullivan's old alma mater playing, that was it) he answers, ]
I ... think I am, actually.
[ But at the same time Junko broke up with Audrey, did that already happen? Audrey was hanging out here, but she had not totally taken the plunge. He did sort of throw a bit of a wrench in how she might have thought things would go. ]
