"Yeah. Mostly Irish on my dads side. I'm decent at math, it's one of the few I can get good grades at without trying. And learning a language takes a lot of patience. And then you get confused and order things in the wrong lanague. Super fun. " he responded with a faint laugh as he followed Norman to the apartment, looking around the apartment. "Nice place,"

OOC I actually have a layout of the apartment if you wanna see it and get an idea.
IC Norman shrugged. "Thanks, it's nice, I guess," Norman agreed as a big dog lifted his head from his dog bed and got up to join them over by the door, wagging his tail. "Hey Mel," Norman greeted and went down to scratch his head. "I'm still mad at you for eating my contact lenses," Norman told him before he got up again. "Ty should be at the studio for while, Kai doesn't get back until six, and Niko will probably be gone for a long time, so it's just us," he explained.

Yes please c:
"I love dogs," Adrian said, crouching down so he was more on the same level., scratching behind his ears for a minute. "Alright, that's nice. So what do you typically do?" He asked Norman curiously, standing back up again but still smiling at the dog.

IC Norman shrugged as he took off his shoes and placed them by the door. "...You play video games?" He asked as he glanced over at Adrian. "Or we could watch a movie, we have some microwaveable popcorn in the kitchen. Or we could do something else," he added as he walked further into the apartment, he personally preferred the idea of video games but he was good with whatever.

"Video games are cool. What ones do you have?" He asked, taking his shoes off by the door and setting the rest of his stuff down as well before once more following him to The next room, looking around the apartment.

IC Norman plopped himself down on the couch as he answered. "Well on the top of my head we have Tetris, Super Mario bros, Call of Duty, Halo 2, Portals 2, Fallout 4, Final Fantasy, and Grand Theft auto, and those are just the ones that come to mind right away, there's definitely more," he explained as he pushed his glasses back up, they were getting adjusted tomorrow and he personally couldn't wait for them to actually stay up.

"Alright. Great. Which one is your favorite?" He asked, stretching his shoulders. "Final fantasy 9 was one of my favorites. " Adrian told him. (I'm too lazy to do the roman)
Also this is terribly short. Still at the hospital.

OOC It's fine.
IC "I've always been partial to any halo game, sometime real fun about killing aliens, but final fantasy is good, we have them all anyways, we can play that," Norman suggested as he heaved himself up off the couch and over to the drawers underneath the television set where they kept their movies and games so he could actually set it up. He really did need someone to play these with, sure Kai liked video games but he was busy and it was different playing with a brother than say, a friend.

"I'm alright with halo. We can do that. Easier with two players," Adrian explained, stretching his legs out in front of him and messing with the hem of his t shirt for a moment while Norman set the game up.

IC "Well I just set up Final Fantasy, so maybe if we have time we can play Halo too, but I don't know how long you have," Norman explained as he stood up, game set up and ready to go. He grabbed two controllers and passed one to Adrian as he plopped down on the couch again. "You know, it's kind of fun to actually hang out with someone who isn't either my brother, my mother, or my dog," he confessed.

"I've got the entire day basically. Might fall asleep on your couch though. If that happens feel free to hit me with another rock. " Adrian told him as he took one of the controllers. "I agree. Its nice to hang out with somebody that you don't have to lie too all the time. " Adrian said with another faint laugh as he leaned back into the couch cushions.

IC "If you fall asleep while we're playing video games I will hit you with a rock, this is exciting stuff dude," Norman told him without really looking away from the screen. "If you're here when Kai gets back, you'll probably be invited to stay for dinner, he's picking up Mexican food tonight," he added that as a bit of an after thought, honestly today really hadn't been that bad and he had someone to do stuff with, so overall...yeah not bad.

Adrian laughed again. "It is exciting. But between school practice, trying to write, and work I don't sleep a lot. " he said. "And this couch is really comfortable. Mexican sounds great. A change from cereal and poptarts. " he finished, kind of folding his legs under him as the game started.

IC "Cereal and poptarts sound pretty cool to me, though I guess between take out, scavenging for food at home and actual home cooked meals, I'd take home cooked meals any day. I cook you know, real good at it too," Norman explained as he played the game. "I..I uh, I have a lot of free time after school, I get my homework done as soon as I have it and none of it really takes too long, so yeah...lots of free time," he said.

"They get boring when it's pretty much all you eat though. " Adrian pointed out. "Really? Okay. Every time you say something else the more I want to stay here and never leave. Actually food, music, dance studio, people that don't yell at me? That sounds pretty perfect honestly. "

IC "Yeah...guess it kinda does seem pretty perfect," Norman agreed with a shrug. "Most of the time it's pretty great, but just for the record, it's not like there isn't any yelling...there isn't a lot of it, but it makes it way worse when yelling actually does happen," he affirmed quietly, yelling was...well it was something Norman hated, though luckily things had been pretty peaceful for the last while.

"Yeah. I mean, all families fight. I don't think heathy relationships involve punching the wall because your so irritated by your kid. I could be wrong through. " Adrian said. "But yeah. If everything's nice most of the time it makes it worse when you do fight. If you're used to the screaming though you aren't super bothered by it. "

IC "Punching the wall?" Norman repeated, glancing over at him. The more he heard the more he sort of thought they should call child services or something, though it really wasn't any of his business. "Doesn't sound very fun...sorry you have to go through that," he told him sincerely before he put his focus back on the game, he wasn't sure what time it was, but they should still have awhile before anyone else came back.

Adrian shrugged just a bit. "Thanks. " he said, realizing how bad everything he had said sounded. "I mean, he hasn't hit me or anything. Yet. If I ever came out to then I know he would," Rin shrugged a bit and shifted how he was sitting, still looking at the screen, most of his focus now on the game.

IC Norman fell quiet at that. Getting a little lost in thought and not really focusing all that much on the game by that point. If Adrian came out he certainly wouldn't get a queer party like he did...there really wasn't anything he could do to help the situation, however the fact he had a huge savior complex instantly made him want to help...so if there wasn't anything he could do, he could at least offer him a safe place, surrounded by people who wouldn't judge or anything. Yeah, he could at least offer that.

Adrian was quiet after that, biting his lower lip and worrying that he had over shared. He had a habit of once he started admitting things he didn't stop until there was nothing left to share. He glanced at the time, though wasn't really worried about what time it was. He could go home at midnight and still not care. It was nice to have a break.

IC "You know...you can always come here for a break," Norman finally said. "It's not healthy to always hide yourself, think of this place as a place where you aren't only allowed to be you, but also encouraged to be you too," he said slowly, trying to focus on the game. "I mean...I don't know how hard it is...to have to hide like that, but I imagine pretty hard...so if you ever just need a getaway, we're-I'm here," he finished, gaze locked onto the screen.

His focus faltered and he looked over at Norman, quiet for a moment before he looked back at the screen. "That would be amazing. I don't think I can say exactly how grateful I am for that. I might actually take you up on that offer. l Rin responded. "Yeah. It's not the easiest thing to do. And then to finish off everything I'm trying to make a career out of something I hate. "

IC Norman glanced over at him for a second before he went back to looking at the screen. Not really sure what to say, so in the end he didn't really say anything. Everyone wore a mask...it was interesting so see people without them. Heck he still wore a mask, even if it wasn't as large of a one as Adrian's. He honestly hadn't ever thought to look behind the masks before...but now, well now there might just be worth something seeing behind everyone's masks.

Adrian focused on the game after that, remaining quiet. It was weird. Who he actually was was completely different than the him he showed at school and home. He dropped his feet onto the floor a little while later, leaning forward and closer to the tv.
I'm probably going to poof sooon. )
