"I do not have a fat ass!" Max said defensively as he stood up "straight" and crossed his arms, his voice cracking slightly as he said 'do not'. Bradley shook his head and sighed before turning towards the door and opening it, walking out of the house muttering something. Max looked down at himself and moved around to see his proportions, a slight frown on his face. Bradley opened the door again and called for Max, who snapped out of it and begrudgingly followed the taller male.

The two walked down the streets together, each being alert for their own reasons- Max being alert so he doesn't run into Roxanne, and Bradley being alert so Max doesn't run into Roxanne, or really anyone else who would try to force things onto him. Max flinched slightly and would subconsciously step closer to Bradley every time he saw a redhead- it didn't matter the length of their hair, the colour of their skin, their gender, or anything of the sort- if he saw red hair at all he'd hide behind the taller male. Bradley noticed this behaviour and put an arm around Max's waist, pulling him slightly closer as he raised a brow. "You doing all right there?" Max flinched at the sudden contact and noise, but calmed down as he looked up and nodded. "Uhh, yeah, just a bit on edge... I'm fine though." He answered before looking away again.

"I... I have a question though." Bradley had looked back down at Max and tilted his head slightly. "And I hopefully have an answer?" He stated hesitantly before going quiet and letting the shorter male speak. "Well ... We only met earlier today, so why are you doing all this for me?... You call me by a nickname very few gave me, you gave me your clothes and let me rest in your bed, it just.... I don't get it, why?..." He seemed confused- like Bradley's actions were sending into mental spirals of emotion. Bradley froze up a bit before he looked away at the road, the moonlight and the street lamps illuminating certain parts and leaving others dark and menacing. "I ... I dunno, I just.... Oh, uhm, look- we're here." He said awkwardly as he stopped in front of the police station and pointed to it.
