I decided to do somewhat of a funny drawing before work. If Danny met Russell he would see Russell as a little brother figure despite there is only a one year age difference between them.

Danny would have that kind of feeling for Russell because of their shared nationalities and ethnic backgrounds. Danny is Italian-Canadian, Russell is Greek-Canadian, and they are both Autistic.

Danny's mother miscarried a boy a year or so after having Danny, and Danny was pretty bummed out about that. If he were to meet Russell, I think he would like him a lot, but not in a romantic way.

In this drawing, I made Russell and Danny go on a trip together and Danny asks Russell to be his honorary little brother. Russell is of course a little bit shocked by this proposal, but frankly, I'd think he'd say "yes".

Though Russell is already taken as Zia's honorary little brother at this point, I am not sure how she'd react as she is very protective of Russell...
