David and Max were lounging about, literally lazing their Sunday away as the night got darker and darker.

"Shouldn't you go to bed Max?" David asked as Max shook his head, even though he was feeling tired. David was about to press on before a loud knock came on the door. David and Max shared a curious glance before David opened the door. "Hello-OH MY GOODNESS HARRISON GET INSIDE IT'S FREEZING OUT THERE!" David quickly went into worry mode. Mostly because not only was the temperature outside surprisingly cold, but the small boy was clearly affected by it.

David ushered the shivering child inside before he scrambled around the house to help him get warmer. A-A blanket, and something warm to drink and eat.

As David stumbled around like an idiot, Max looked at Harrison. That look in his eyes… he knew what that look meant.

"Harrison…" Max shifted uncomfortably. He wasn't good with heart to hearts. "Are you...okay?" Harrison hesitated slightly and looked up at Max, a small laugh choked it's way out of his throat.

"Y-Yeah… I...I just didn't know what to do… My parents finally decided they didn't want me after so many failed attempts to bring my brother back and kicked me out. I..I was in the area so I thought maybe you two could help me out…" Harrison explained and Max felt bad for the boy. After all, he knew that feeling all too well.

Any resentment he had towards the magic boy in any sense sorta shifted off for now. It was a dick move to put that spell on him, but it was even worse to see him like this.

"I...I know the feeling…" Max mumbled as David came back. He draped a blanket over the small boy and gave him a nice mug of hot chocolate and some chicken soup he had found in the cupboard.

Harrison just ate his food numbly as Max explained to David what happened. David felt his heart crush. Why was it so hard for people to just be a good parent to their kids? Of course that sorrow soon turned to anger that would be dealt with later.

David placed a gentle hand on top of Harrison's head. "You did good by coming here Harrison. My door is always open to you." He said as he stood up a bit fully. "Now, let me think… Since you have no bag, I'm going to assume you need some clothes and essentials? I know Max has a bunk bed so you can sleep there….." David already started formulating a plan. They were a little tight on money right now, but they could spare a few things to make sure Harrison got what he needed.

"It's… It's a lot better here." Max told Harrison, who burst out into tears and hugged Max tiredly.

"Thank you…" He muttered softly as Max looked slightly panicked. He looked up at David, ushering for what he was supposed to do, and David made the motion to pat his back gently; so Max did just that.

Now it looked like their little family had one more person. But neither minded, and both were happy to have him here. Even if one was more willing to say it than the other.
