David POV:

I walk up the steps still talking to my old friend on the phone, his name is Ben, and he's gonna be hanging around here to a few weeks, I told him about the kids and he loves what I'm doing for them, sadly I don't know if Max and Harrison will ever get too meet him though. I put my phone between my ear and my shoulder as I try to fish out my keys from my pocket and hold the new antidepressant pills I've been prescribed along with the McDonald's I got for the kids.

I unlock the door and open it to find both Max and Harrison passed out on the couch together, the TV is playing the last episode of The Promised Neverland season one, the scene where Ray tries to kill himself. It's good that those two are getting along better. I set the food down on the table and head up the stairs to put the pills in my bathroom. I get back downstairs and walk to the living room only to realize Harrison is laying on top of the remote. "Hey, Harrison, wake up!" I wisper, shaking him. He doesn't wake up, so I shake him harder, slowly he starts to open his eyes. "... Yeah Max..?" He says sleepily. "Not Max" I wisper. He blinks twice and sits up, "oh, hey David" he says, more awake this time. "Shhhhhh!" I wisper-yell back, pointing to a still sleeping Max. "Oh, sorry" he whispers back. "Anyways, I just woke you up because you were sleeping on the remote." I wisper, before grabbing the remote and turning off the TV. "Also, I got McDonald's, so wake up Max and wash you're hands to eat." I wisper a bit louder this time.

I leave the living room and go back to the kitchen and start getting the food out of the bag, I got two chicken nugget happy meals for the kids, and I swear, I will cry if Max is new to the concept of happy meals.

Eventually both Max and Harrison walk into the kitchen, Max visually more tired than Harrison. They sit down and Max lights up, seeing the food. " whoa! Is this what happy meal boxes look like before some drunk asshole gets a hold of it?! " Max casually states. "...excuse me..?" Harrison says too Max with a concerned look on his face. "Oh, yeah my parents used to get these on their way back home from a late night of getting high off their ass with their quote end quote 'freinds'" he explains, taking a bite of one of his chicken nuggets. I really have to get him some therapy, after he starts feeling comfortable around me, of course. They both finnish eating their happy meals with no more conversation after that. After they both clean up their mess and go to bed, I notice that the sink is filled with dishes, so naturally, I roll up my selves and start washing them. (A/N: David does not have a washing machine, he is a teacher and a camp councillor in this au, and neither of those jobs pay well enough to buy a good washing machine, also I feel like he'd prefer to do it by hand anyways.) After a few minutes of washing dishes I notice a figure outside the living room window, it's small, and it appears to be running towards the road... wait... Is that Max?

(A/N: lol, fuck you. ANOTHER filler chapter)
