Lavi nodded, feeling a smidge of relief when he received a coherent reply from the frozen boy. “Ok, I’ll let you change in here. I’ll be in the kitchen. Holler if you need me.” Lavi got up and headed to his small kitchen, just out of sight.

He grabbed the old, metal teapot off the stove and filled it full of water. Once it was filled to capacity, he set it on the stove and turned the burner on high. He pulled out a couple of mugs from the cupboard, as well as a few packets of cocoa and instant ramen noodles. Trying to focus on making something for the kid to eat and warm him up, Lavi tried to ignore the sounds coming from the living room.

Allen waited until Lavi was out of sight, then looked at the sweatpants in his hand. He was so tired… but if he didn’t put them on himself, when that guy came back he would do it.

Allen tried to stand, but his numb legs refused to cooperate. After a few unsuccessful attempts, and nearly falling off the couch several times, he gave up and tried undoing the buttons instead.

After a lot of fumbling with his frozen fingers, he managed to at least unbutton his jeans. He groaned and leaned back into the couch, closing his eyes again. Exhausted as he was, the fact it took so much effort to even do one step of the process made him just want to give up.
