John who managed to find himself fixing the oven, banged his head on the roof of it as he tried to pull himself out quickly.
"Ow, dammit."

"John, look! Look!"
He waved the check at him.

John rubbed his head and looked up "A check? Did you get paid today?"

"No!" He said, laughing.
"A donation from a friend of mine!"
He held it out to John.

John removed the check gently from Laszlo's hand and read it, then read it again.
"Is this real?"

He was still laughing.
"Yes. He's legit, he's a bajillionaire, you should see his house--"

John looked down at the check, then back up at Laszlo "I, we" he laughed "my god, the things we can do with this money. We can buy a house nearby so we don't have to live here at the shelter, we can hire on people to help!"

"You can fix everything and get everything you need and have a shitton left over for whatever."

He smiled and looked at the name on the check "Yea, yea, anything."

He grabbed John in a hug.
"See, it gets better."

There were small tears rolling down John's face as he wrapped his arms around Laszlo.
"I can pay for the rest of Marie's school and we-" he choked back a sob, a thought occurred to him that he never though possible "-we can maybe, go somewhere, take a trip, just you and me."

"Oh god--really? Do you mean that?"
There's nothing he'd like more...
"Do you know how much I've wanted to travel?"

John smiled at Laszlo's enthusiasm "I had a feeling, your friend Louis has just made a whole lot of people very very happy."

László made a sound that was best described as squee--the only time you'd ever see him in such a state, really.
He grabbed John, kissing him.
"Yes!"

John kissed him back enthusiastically "We should head to the bank."
