Jake shrugged, "It is what it is." though he let out a small smile towards her, just to let her know that it was alright, and that he was thankful for what she was already doing for him and his siblings. "Although," he started again, sitting upright on the couch again, "being poor and such, its actually helped me in a lot of things. The most important ones being...responsibility, and independence. I mean, sure I don't really have anyone to look up to, but I have my siblings. I know it may sound weird, but sometimes I look up to them, just how they look up to me all the time." he explained, licking his lips. "I don't know, its just.." he sighed, "that's just how I think of it being." he finished off, leaning his head back on the arm rest, curling himself back onto the couch, feeling a bit sleepy himself.

"At least you have a positive outlook." Hanna replied sleepily. "I understand too. I mean, I'm not poor but...my mom is a single mother raising 6 kids." She yawned, wiping her eyes after. "It's not the same as being poor but I understand. Still," she frowned, closing her eyes. "I wish there were more I could do to help."

Jake nodded. "It's like what you said about your brother. I've grown into a father figure during these past years." he grinned lightly, nodding his head towards her own thoughts she was telling him about. "I see your mom has been having a positive outlook as well, then." he chuckled lightly, returning his sweet smile to her, shaking his head lightly. "Trust me. You've done plenty enough." he began listing off the things she's done for him so far, "Saving my brother, giving both him and my sister something warm and dry to wear as well as soup to fill their stomachs and help get my brother feeling better. And you invited us to live in your home." he laughed softly, "And you want to give me more?" he teased lightly to her, nudging her playfully with his foot as the rest of his body was on the opposite end of her.

"Yeah, she kinda has too raising us." Hanna giggled. She blushed when he nudged her with his foot, turning her face away. She opened her eyes again, shaking her head. "That's just me. I want to do as much as I can to help people."

Jake grinned a bit wider whenever she turned her head from him. Shaking his head lightly again, he responded back, "Well, trust me. You've done plenty. I'll let you know if there's anything else I need from you, but right now, I'm focusing on getting you back to your feet again." he explained, motioning to her juice sitting aside from them. "So, make sure you finish that juice, alright?" he chuckled, realizing he was sounding more like a father now, as he sometimes did towards his siblings.

"Alright." Hanna giggled softly, grabbing the juice and taking another sip from it. "Yes sir." She grinned, setting the juice back down and laying her head on the couch again. Hanna was super sleepy but she didn't really want to fall asleep just yet, since she liked talking to Jake. She glanced over at him, biting her lip before looking away again.

Jake chuckled, smiling over to her as she took that next sip, resting his own head on the arm of the couch when she set the drink down again. He gazed up at the ceiling for a bit before returning his glance back to the sweet girl across from him. "You know, ever since I gave you that juice, I haven't really heard you coughing as much." he grinned proudly, "You heal fast, I'm guessing?" he asked, only partly teasing at that point.

Hanna smiled, shaking her head. "I'm not actually. It takes me forever to get over stuff." She shifted onto her other side, resting her arm across her stomach. "I guess the juice helped the coughing though. I'll still be super tired for the next week though." She laughed softly.

"I see." Jake nodded to her, moving his arms up behind his head to act as an extra pillow for him. "Well, maybe you should get to sleep now." he suggested to her, his eyes still fixed on hers. "The sooner you fall asleep now, the less tired you'll be next week." he told her, smiling wider.

"Maybe." Hanna muttered, yawning. She nodded then, closing her eyes and shifting back to her other side, curling even tighter into a ball. She folded her arms under her, shifting to get comfortable as she slowly relaxed into sleep.

Jake watched as Hanna slowly drifted off to sleep, waiting for the right moment to carefully get up from his own spot onto his feet again. First, he went to check on his siblings, covering each of them up with one of the blankets to get them more comfortable in their surroundings. He made his way back to where Hanna was resting then, stroking her cheek lightly with his fingertips. She really is cute...and sweet. he smiled through his thoughts he began having as he continued to stare at the sleeping girl. After a moment of thought then, he sat down next to Hanna, getting into a comfortable position himself before very gently and carefully wrapping an arm around Hanna, pulling her closer into him, having her head rest on his chest, as he too, started drifting asleep, a smile still perched on his lips.

Hanna shifted when Jake pulled her close to him, snuggling closer to him, her arm wrapping around his waist. At that time, the front door opened and Maximillian walked through, medicine in hand. "Hanna?" He called, walking up the stairs. He went to her room, frowning a bit when she wasn't in it. He went down the hall into the guest room, peeking his head in to see Hanna sleeping awfully close to Jake. He wasn't sure how he should feel about their position, but he wouldn't say anything since she was sick and Jake was sleep.

Jake shifted a bit himself, but because he heard footsteps climbing up the stairs. He was still too much asleep to lift his head up, let alone wince his eyes open some, so he adjusted himself again, his arm still around Hanna and his head shifting over right in front of Hanna, going back to his deep sleep.

Maximillian shook his head, figuring that there couldn't be too much trouble since they were both asleep. Still, he would make sure to keep an eye on them seeing as Hanna was his younger sister. Maxi went into Hanna's room to grab her cover and back into the guest room to throw it over the two. Hanna shifted with the added warmth, sighing softly. Maxi chuckled and left the room quietly to go to his own room.

After feeling a slight shift come from Hanna, Jake half awoke from his sleep just enough to realize that a blanket was over them both. He smiled softly to himself, and closed his eyes returning to his deep sleep, his arm still wrapped around Hanna under the covers, his hand resting over her stomach.
