“What.... What are you doing here?”
Max’s normally rude tone, had immediately melted into one of slight insecurity, and a LOT of shock.
Max had been staying with an assigned foster family ever since all the mess at Camp Campbell had happened. His parents never showing up to claim him when the end of summer rolled around. And even going so far as to fucking book it back to their home country while he was away. So as to not leave a single trace behind.
Now? Now Max found himself even more cautious as he stared at his previous Camp Counselor... David.
The big idiot was sitting awkwardly in the living room of his crowded home when he came home from school, and he found himself unable to really move any closer as he slowly closed the door behind himself, and then looked to his foster mom in confusion.
The woman gave a smile to him, and after a moment she chuckled sheepishly, “Um. Max, this is David... He’s got some big news for you and-- Well, I’ll leave you two alone, so you can tell him yourself. How’s that?” She gave David a warm and encouraging smile as she said this. Before he started off to disappear into the kitchen. Even ushering a few kids away and back into their rooms as she did so.
Max became uneasy.
“What’s... What’s going on?”
