[Diaper Beast]

Today was the big day! Not only was it Beast's Birthday but he was finally getting out of Dunfee, Illinois and going to be heading to college. He already packed up everything and sent it on ahead to the college he'd been accepted to. And was doing a last minute check of what remained of his bedroom. It was mostly just furniture that could easily go into storage or be sold so the room could be converted into whatever his family desired. Hank closed the door behind him... not expecting to comeback to his childhood room.

Hank bounded down the steps dressed in a casual suit and headed into the kitchen. Noticing his Mom sitting at the table and leaning down to kiss her cheek softly. "Morning, Mom." Hank smiled and moved to take a seat nearby her and took her hand. "Well... I'll be out of your hair soon enough. Everything's packed and sent ahead to the college and my flight leaves tomorrow. What are you up to?" His Mom seemed awful quiet and he was worried that she was upset that he was leaving home so soon. "Mom?"

"Are you still upset about not wanting a big fuss over my birthday? I'm just too old for parties." Hank squeezed her hand softly and offered a gentle purr in her direction. "Cheer up. I'm sure we can do something today if you really want." Hank didn't expect his Mom to take his departure so badly and now was feeling kind of bad that he wasn't letting her make a fuss over him for his last birthday at home. "We could go to lunch or something today if you really want to do something special for my birthday?"
