Harrison, Leah
Harrison was lying on a bench outside under a streetlamp. The halogen bulb spilled cool light around him and he looked as if he could have been on stage instead of just out on a curb. He didn't have a home to speak of, and most nights he just roamed around, dodging cops and talking to people. It helped that he was a vampire; the talents that came along with that unnatural blood were helpful tools to have for a street kid.

But with the advantages came the disadvantages, namely the whole burn in the daylight caveat. He did his best each morning to find a suitable hiding spot, whether it be in a cemetery, or under the streets he walked at night. There were a few homeless shelters he frequented to get showers, but he always turned down the offer of food or clothing, much to people's dismay. Tonight, his hair was wet from a recent trip to the Ninth Street shelter facilities. When he heard footsteps on the otherwise silent sidewalk, he sat up quickly, hoping it wasn't a cop bent on moving him along.

Harrison laughed a little at the prospect of Leah waking him up. "Trust me, I won't be up until the sun goes down." She could set off a bomb and he wouldn't stir. He felt bad that she wasn't going to get much sleep, so he fell silent after that, letting her get on with her bedtime routine.

But when she came back, before he drifted off completely, he whispered another thank-you to her, whether she heard it or not.

Leah came back into the room and made sure he was settled one more time before she went to go and crawl into her bed. She heard his thank you, and she smiled a little before she laid down and closed her eyes. She was exhausted, but there was so much going on in her head that it took a while for her to finally drift off to sleep, but once she was out, she was out.
