The next day was filled with work for Harvey.

He got up early, at about six AM, did chores, helped his father do odd jobs for the people around their 'living' area, took care of his brothers, and made sure they ate. At ten AM he left home and walked the short walk to the Camelopard Casino, he already knew exactly when Finn woke up.

It had only been five days since he met Finn, and he already knew everything about the blonde. He knew when Finn went to bed, when he woke up, when he ate food, how much he tended to eat, what he liked to eat, what he liked to drink, what he liked to do, where he liked to go, all about the people who he disliked, all about the Casino, all about Finn's closet, everything.

Finn knew squat about Harv, and Harv hadn't bothered to tell Finn a thing, or to tell the other to shut the hell up. It slightly concerned Harv that he knew about Finn in such an intimate way, but it was too late to change it. Besides, it made his job a bit easier.

It took Harvey fifteen minutes to get to the Camelopard Casino, he was there right on time. As soon as he walked in through the front doors, Finn was entering through one of the Employee's Only doors, dressed, and ready for his day. Finn wasn't startled at all to see Harv, Finn treated Harv like he lived there...even though they both knew he didn't.

"Good morning, Harvey!"

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No."

Harv walked around Finn, motioning to the blonde to follow him. He took Finn back through the door the boy came through, to Finn and Leenan's living area, and to the kitchen. Then Harv set about making food. He didn't bother with anything fancy, just some muffins.

Finn sat on a stool that was in front of the island, "You're too good to me, Harvey. You do a great job."

Harv just made a noise somewhere between a scoff and a small, muffled laugh. Finn ignored it though. It almost felt like he had someone actually looking out for him, instead of being paid to do so. Almost.

The fact that Finn knew it wasn't that hurt a bit though. He almost had a real friend, but didn't. Harv was literally just a servant for him, even though Finn tried to treat Harv to things, like outings, and nice words...treating Harvey like his friend. He wanted Harv to like him, but so far the brunet was only neutral and steadily just doing his job. Finn played with a paper towel absently, pondering all this.

"Harvey, if I got you an easier and just as well paying job, then let you stop working for me, would you just forget about me and pretend I was just a past Employer of yours?" It was a wordy question...he probably should have made it simpler...

"...Where would I ever get a better job?"

"...I know people. You're a good assistant. I can put the word out for you and stuff..."

"...okay. But, to answer your question, no. I wouldn't just forget you like that. You are my employer, but you've treated me pretty nicely. You're not bad."

Finn gave Harv a giant grin. He swore this boy already knew him better then he knew himself. "Oh, you always know just what to say. And to think, we've only known each other for such a short time."

"...yep." Harv set a muffin in front of Finn. "I wanna see you eat the whole thing before you think of stepping outside this kitchen."

"And you go and ruin my plans." Finn pouted, but picked at the muffin anyway.

Leenan stared as her baby left the Casino. She didn't like that Browne kid. He was filling her baby's head up with silly things, like hanging with the wrong crowd. She wanted the best for her baby, and this boy was not the best. He did a decent job of serving her baby, keeping him out of trouble, and caring for him, but social wise...he was a dead end.

There had to be some way to get her baby boy to see that this boy wasn't the best out there. She wanted to talk to her 'friends' that she had in the 'hit man' business, to get rid of the silly teen, but her baby overheard her mumbling that to herself and got upset. Finn seemed to be really fond of this other boy.

That was disturbing.

As disturbing as it was, Leenan just had to allow her precious baby to keep the little street rat. He seemed to understand what it took to care for Finn, and didn't complain, or say no when Finn requested something. The stupid boy also seemed to have a way of making Finn laugh. So Leenan backed off and allowed the kid to stay, watching closely.

She watched as days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into two months. Soon Finn wouldn't talk about anything else, every day for Finn began to revolve around what him and Harv planned to do that day, or what Harv did or said to him the other day.

It began to bother Leenan more and more.

She hated that this stupid kid was getting all of Finns attention, she hated that her baby was so wrapped up with that kid. Finn spent dollar after dollar, spoiling that street rat, instead of buying things for himself. Finn was pretty much wrapped around that Harvey's finger. It had to end. She had to end it.

And end it she would.

Harv walked through downtown, heading towards a small market. He was trying to do some food shopping, but the fact that Finn was tailing after him and babbling about stuff he didn't care for was distracting. Finn tended to never shut up, he just talked on and on. It could be distracting, yet Harv didn't actually mind all the talking. He'd be happy to let Finn babble all day, as long as Finn wasn't trying to demand all of his attention, like the blonde was doing now.

"Hey, Harvey?" Harv could see Finn's breath cloud up the air as the blonde spoke to him. Was it really that cold?

"What?"

"Let's stop in there for a minute." Harv turned to look at what Finn was pointing too. A clothing store. Great. Harv, somewhat reluctantly, followed Finn into the department store. The store itself was meant for rich people, obviously. It sold clothing at stupidly high prices, and it looked like it imported the designs too.

Harv already hated the place.

Finn seemed perfectly at home in the store of course, that didn't surprise Harv at all. The blonde was now looking at a really nice suit jacket, it was a dark blue, looked warm too. It was simple, yet expensive. Everything was overly priced. This was ridiculous.

"What do you think of this one, Harvey?"

"It's nice. But not your style. You look better in brighter colors." Harv commented, being honest.

Finn snickered in return, "It's for you, silly." This caught Harv offguard, and confused the heck out of him.

"What?"

"Try it on."

"No."

"Try. It. On." Finn pushed the coat at Harv, who took it and stared at it for a good long while, before he put it on. He let the coat stay loose, and looked over to Finn. It was comfortable. Finn pulled at the coat, getting it to sit properly, and then began buttoning it. Then Finn pulled Harv to a mirror and let harv see. It didn't match what he was currently wearing(a black sweater and dark brown trousers), but it fit and looked nice. Finn had a hand on Harv's shoulder, smiling at Harv.

"You look great. Let's get you a shirt and some trousers to go with it." Harv stiffened, he didn't like this idea.

"I can't afford this!"

"I can." Finn stated before walking to find the rest of the clothes. Soon enough Finn had Harv dressed up, and looking like a proper gentleman. It was weird. Harv had never worn such nice clothes. Finn did buy him the clothes and let Harv walk out of the store with them. Finn then insisted on going to a hatter and getting him a hat. Which they did.

Harv got a nice fedora to go with his dark blue outfit. Harv felt...spoiled. He had no idea why Finn was even buying him things, but the blonde did it anyway. Harv was slightly upset that the blonde decided to do this for him, now he felt as though he owed the other male. Finn did give him a high paying job, treat him rather well, and agreed to do things Harv wanted to do. Now he was buying him expensive things.

It didn't help that he was starting to feel things for the odd blonde.

Finn was proud of himself. He had done something nice for Harv, and wasn't expecting a thing in return. Of course, he knew Harv was still being paid to work for him, but Finn was still proud that he had finally managed to do something nice for Harv.

But convincing Harv to wear the clothes was a pain. Harv refused to wear them, for fear he'd ruin them, and it bother Finn. He got them so Harv would wear them. After three days of trying, Finn convinced Harv to wear the outfit at the Casino's party today. And Harv did. He showed up that morning dressed in the clothes, and Finn was pleased.

Finn sat there watching Harv make him a cup of coffee, feeling really pleased with how things were going. Soon Finn's mind wandered, Harv wasn't really talking. So the blondes purple eyes followed Harv as he moved around the kitchen.

He was rather handsome.

Especially in the suit. The dark blue of the suit made his wheat colored skin, and lovely brown hair stand out. It also complemented his sky blue eyes.

Finn found himself entranced with Harv. Just watching the other make coffee.

Finn couldn't help himself. He stared, and as soon as Harv came close, and set the hot cup of coffee down, Finn reached out for him. He couldn't help it. He couldn't stop himself. He grabbed a hold of Harvs jacket, causing Harv's blue eyes to meet his, filled with shock and somewhat concern, and Finn closed the distance. Lips met lips, and Finn felt a slight tingle. Harv turned pink and then pushed Finn away.

"What the hell!?"

Almost worth it. Almost. Now Finn was flooded with guilt. He made the wrong move. Harv was staring at him, red faced and angry. Finn grabbed the coffee and fled the kitchen, going upstairs to his room, where he slammed the door shut and locked it. Then he went to his bed, sat down, and cried over the cup of coffee.

He had just ruined his chances at finally have a friend, because he couldn't help himself.
