it's a miracle and blizzarding in L.A!!
woAahHh

"Bye mark!!" Amy called from the front door, her and Kathryn had just finished a meeting and would be going home. "Be safe guys!" Mark yelled back The door shut and the house was filled with silence.

He looked out the window to see them driving away, it was truly going to be a white christmas this year. He still didn't understand how it was snowing in L.A, everyone was saying different things, weather patterns, paradoxes, he never got it.
He got shivers from just looking outside, he decided that before bed that he'd make a pot of Hot chocolate. He started preheating his machine and passed time by twiddling his thumbs.
Until he heard a knock at the door.

knock knock knock

Mark wasn't sure at first if it was just the wind or branches near his windows.
He checked the time '11:47pm' awfully late for someone to be dropping by. the knocks became more frantic, Mark hopped off the counter and walked to the front door rubbing his neck wondering who it could be.

he opens the door

"Ethan?"

Ethan stood at the door not at all dressed for the weather outside, he was wearing a zip up hoodie, jeans, and some sneakers, Mark looked behind him not spotting his car anywhere...did he walk here?

"M-m-mar..k" Ethan tried to annunciate between violent shivers. He started to wobble and he reached out for Mark before he could fall.

"Okay okay okay.." Mark mumbled to himself, holding Ethan and closing the door behind him. "s-so cold o-out..side" Ethan said pressing his forehead into Mark's chest. Mark looked down at him, his nose and cheeks were a bright red, his clothes were drenched, and his brown hair was covered in white snowflakes that were quickly melting.

"Okay first lets get you a new change of clothes." Mark said to Ethan who was probably falling asleep in his arms. Mark picked out and old big hoodies and some sweatpants complete with a pair of fuzzy socks gifted to him by Amy.
After Ethan got changed he was still shivering, his hands felt like i've, Mark sat him in front of their fireplace and brought in the hot coco that he almost for got about. Ethan took small sips, with each sip he grew more and more tired, until he had fallen asleep on Mark.
Mark checked the time again '12:25am' he had to get him and Ethan to sleep.
He didn't want to startle the boy so he carefully picked him up and put him over his shoulder and carried him up the stairs. Ethan's eyes opened a little bit, he was half awake and not sure what was going on. Mark tucked him in bed like a kid and went to bed himself.

"Sweet dreams."
