Lets Go Home NOT MAXVID

Chapter 4: Anything you like

After a few hours of work everything was finally done. David was very excited and thankful that he had someone to help him get things done- And that Lyra had someone to play with when David was busy. "It's almost noon, how about we go out for lunch? Since we sort of skipped breakfast heheh.. And we can do some shopping while were out!" Max rolled his eyes getting up from the couch, "Sure- What kind of shopping?"

"Any kind I suppose! Well need clothes for you of course, and some things for your room.. And food you like of course! Do you have a phone?"

"I wasn't allow to.." David frowned a little then perked back up, "Well I'll add that to the list then! Pretty much anything you think you'd want or need is what we'll be looking for. And I'll need to get cat food and maybe some other things?" Max looked over at Lyra, who was still asleep. It wasn't like he had anything better to do.. Though he did have a question. "Ok- But one thing I want to know"

"Anything Max"

"What the actual fuck are you gonna do- If my dad says you kidnapped me and you have no paper work to prove I'm staying with you of my own will youll probably be taken to jail. I'm not even a legal adult so it wont matter what I say anyway. How the hell are you actually going to be able to take care of me?" David paused, though it was harshly said Max was right.. "I understand.." He picked up his phone and called someone. "What are you-" David went into another room, Max had no idea what he was doing..

After a few minutes he came back out a smile, it'd be creepy for anyone who wasn't David. "I'm having Gwen and another friend take care of it- We'll get everything in order by next week for emancipation. Or adoption if you prefer. "Pants a what?"

"Emancipation, it means you'll legally be your own person. Like an adult, so instead of adopting you as a son or something you wouldn't like you'll just be a roommate!"

"Wait.. Really? You can do that?" David nodded happily, "Of course! If you know the right people and say the right things haha.. Now- We have a lot of shopping to do! Lunch first though alright?" Max didn't think it would happen just like that but he wasn't going to argue since he was glad it was happening at all. "What are we gonna eat?"

"Anything you like Max! Where would you like to go?"

David had taken Max to a diner close to where he lived, everyone was almost as friendly as David which was a little unsettling. But it was a nice change for sure. David ordered the same thing he did every time and greeting everyone by name, somethings were just too nice to be normal in Maxs mind. When the lady asked Max what he wanted he hesitated and just got what David got. It was surprisingly good though? He didn't think they'd have the same tastes but if they ever came back he'd probably get it again and understood why David got it..

Later in the day after a long while of driving they stopped at a large store. " Alrighty Max! This place is pretty big but I trust you. Just let me know if you go off somewhere so I don't worry too much ok? Here's paper and a pen, if there's anything you want that you can't grab write the name on here so we can go back to it." Max nodded as they got out. When they went inside they were greeted by a worker who asked if they needed help with anything. David had assured the woman he knew what he was doing and headed off with Max trailing behind. "So Max- What kind of stuff do you like?" Max just shrugged, "Uhh- I dunno. Video games, violence.."

"Other then that?"

"Uh.. Well cats now?" David thought for a second, "I got it! I think I know just what you'd like!" He smiled and walked a bit faster, down the rows were different set ups of rooms with beds and posters and lamps. As if it was really in someones house. He came to a stop in an open room, it was a mix of colors, mostly white and grays and soft blues. But it was nice, and it did fit Max.. "It's not too dark, and not to happy heheh.. But maybe a desk or something with it and some posters or pictures? Think you'd like this one? Or do you just want to look around?" Max stepping into the room, looked around for a second sitting on the edge of the bed. "I like this one." David smiled and hailed over a worker to talk out the details and get someone to bring it over since almost none of that would fit in his car. Max took an extra second to look at the room smiling to himself. This would be his room now, and he was actually going to live with David.. It seemed crazy but he was really happy. Maybe things really would turn out alright? And maybe they really were getting better?
