Title: Picking Up The Phone

A/N: Drabble, Fin-centric. Bite-sized for your convenience.


He'd been wondering whether or not to pick up the phone for almost an hour. He didn't have anything specific to say, but it had been almost three months since he'd talked to Ken. He should at least say hello, ask him how he was doing.

The trouble was, he knew just how that conversation was going to go. It would start with a "Good of you to call, Dad" and go right downhill from there. And they'd both hang up and nothing would change.

The phone stayed where it was. He wasn't up to dealing with that scorn today.
