"No, no it's not your fault. He should have never done that. I shouldn't have brought you here. I knew he'd freak out if he saw you but I didn't think he'd be home. " Adrian said, shifting how he was sitting when they were at a light. "I can drop you off at the door and then go park?"

IC Norman shook his head. "No, um, I'd rather walk with you," Norman told him, besides he needed time to think about what to tell his brothers. No matter what he said they were going to jump into ultra protective mode, Norman was going to get smothered tenfold...but there were three of them. Thirtyfold.

"Okay. But if you don't feel good please let me know. Okay?" He asked, looking at him as he parked. They didn't live that far away from each other so it had been a quick drive.

IC "I will, I just don't want to deal with my brothers right away. They're...they're gonna freak out, and I don't know what to tell them yet," he confessed and looked down, rubbing at his nose and cheek again.

Adrian looked at his hands, taking a deep breath. "I can handle it if you'd like? Or I can try to at least. You should probably just rest. "

IC Norman shook his head. "No, I should talk to them," he decided, even if all he really wanted to do right then was curl up on the couch with some snacks and a blanket and just snuggle for the rest of the day, that sounded just about perfect to him. Maybe they could even order pizza for dinner. Pizza was good.

"Okay... if there's anything I can do please let me know," Adrian said, just sitting in the car for another moment before he got out, trying to make his hands stop shakin sgain. Why did this stuff happen?

IC Norman fell quiet after that, mostly because he was trying to think of what to say to his brothers. They knew where they were going, Adrian wouldn't hit him, surely they would come to the conclusion on their own that somehow, where over there, he got hit. So he would have to just be truthful about it. They got mad when some teenager hit him ones, and called that kid's parents up right away to discuss it. Norman really couldn't imagine how well they would take this.

Adrian grabbed his bags, silent as they walked back to the apartment. He felt sick, glancing over at Norman from time to time to make sure he was still okay. Sure, it was just one punch, but he knew how strong his dads punches were. So yeah he was still worried.

IC By the time they got to the apartment and Norman opened the door, he sort of just wanted to ignore everything for awhile. However sadly as he entered, he spotted Nikolas, petting Mel in the living room, and Ty grabbing a soda from the kitchen since he still had work to do. Kai was working late, which was probably for the best considering he was definitely the most overprotective. "We're back," Norman explained lightly, placing one of the bags down.
"Hey, got everything you ne-" Ty froze mid sentence as he looked at Norman. "What the h--- happened to your face?" He asked in shock, placing the soda on the counter and instantly walking over to him to check. "Is your nose bleeding? Oh it's swollen too, what happened?" He asked, glancing over to Adrian for a few seconds before his focus fell back to Norman. "Niko, get an ice pack, and the first aid kit too, just in case," he ordered the man behind him, who didn't object in the slightest as he did as he was told.

Adrian set his bags down and scrubbed a hand down his face, looking really worn out and tight. "I didn't think something like this would happen," he murmured again, looking at ty briefly before dropping his gaze again.

IC "It's not your fault Adrian, go find a place to put your things, please," Ty told him, casting another quick glance at him before he focused on Norman as Nikolas brought over the ice pack, wrapped neatly in a small white cloth. Ty instantly held it up to Norman's face. "Now, tell me what happened," he instructed and Norman gave a small nod.
He hated this, the fact that his brothers could come and soothe him so easily, making him feel safe enough to even snuggle and wipe at his eyes, because...that, that did hurt and it played on one of his fears and it was a lot harder to keep himself standing tall when his brothers were around. "We were about to leave, and then his father came home, we argued, I told him what I think of him, and then he hit me," Norman explained quietly, as Ty pulled him into a hug.
Comfort Norman now, be furious later. "Thank you for telling me, now why don't you and Adrian find something to do, I need to talk to Niko for a bit. Order anything you want for dinner," Ty told him and Norman mumbled out something as Ty let go and walked away, out into the hallway with Nikolas following behind.

Adrian did as told before disappearing into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. He crouched down and oresssed his forehead against the side of the counter, taking deep breaths as he counted to ten. Norman was fine. He was fine. Everything would be okay. But he also knew how extreme his dad could get, and sure this was one of the first times he'd ever physically hurt him, but he was still worried. What if he had really snapped and tried to find him? What if normans brothers went to his house to confront his dad? None of things were good things to run, and he was still struggling to get air into his lungs, holding onto the counter.

IC Norman walked over to the bathroom and knocked, leaning back on the wall beside it. "Adrian? You okay in there?" He asked, feeling less calm now than he had been before. Now it was back to the ball of stress and worry, he knew his brothers wouldn't react well, but at least they had taken it outside to discuss things, that was better than blowing a fuse right there.

Adrian looked horrible honestly, the bruises darkening with the dark circles under his eyes. He got up and opened the door, giving Norman a week smile. "Sorry. Do you need the bathroom? I didn't mean to just take it over. "

IC The redhead shook his head. "No, I was just making sure if you were okay, and well umm, if you would want to watch something with me?" He asked, sounding a bit unsure. "My brothers are outside and I...I don't really want to be alone right now..." he confessed and looked down. Adrian didn't look too great and Norman wasn't sure what he really felt up for, but he figured it was worth asking.

Adrian nodded faintly, hiding his hands in his pockets again. "Sure, no problem. What would you like to watch?" He questioned, managing to keep his voice smooth despite how nervous he still felt about this whole thing.

IC Norman shrugged, but smiled slightly at him as he started to the couch. "I don't know, I was thinking of maybe watching something happy on Netflix, something we could just watch...not really have to be too invested in," he explained, sitting down on the couch and curling up onto it, looking over at Adrian.

IC Norman instantly snuggled up beside him, the need for some sort of physical reassurance pretty strong at the moment as he pulled the blanket over them and reached for the remote. "Exactly my thoughts," he agreed, turning on some random sitcom on Netflix. Finding comfort in being so close to Adrian.

Adrian didn't push him away, almost resting his head on normans. But instead he settled into the blankets more as he watched the screen. Absently he messed with the bracelet on his wrist, but for the most part he stayed quiet.

IC "Hey Rin, what...what's going to happen now? We'll have to go back to school tomorrow, and what about the weekends, will you want to come with me to my mom's place? O-or stay here..." Norman rambled slightly, trying to focus on the show but sort of failing since his mind kept wandering.

"I really don't know. I do y know what's going to happen or what would be better for me to do. Maybe I can just give it a few weeks and then go back home. " he suggested, even though logically he knew he couldn't do that.

IC "I don't think you should go back..." Norman said quietly. "He could hurt you again and who knows how far he would go, and then you'd be hurt and it could be really bad," Norman said quickly, voice strained a little. "And I don't like it when you get hurt, it worries me and I don't know how I can help, it's frustrating..."

IC Norman glanced down, and then looked up at Adrian, deciding maybe he could use a hug and wrapped his arms around him, burying himself into his side. "Well, you still have me...and I'll do anything I can to help," he told him honestly, not making any move to leave his new spot. He wasn't really sure how much his presence was appreciated since well, he was just Norman, but he would be there. He was good at offering support.

Adrian didn't pull away, instead reaching to wrap his arms around Norman for some kind of support. He murmured a rather quiet thank you, pushing down his panic sgain. Everything would be okay. He could figure something out.

IC Norman could have stayed like that forever, however a few minutes later, his brothers walked back in and Norman ducked out of Adrian's arms and moved to the other side of the couch to watch them. Ty looked over to the couch, phone out. "Adrian, what's your father's number?" He asked, not going into detail, he needed it because he had plans on calling the man, that much was obvious. Could be worse though, he could have asked for the address.

Adrian moved away from Norman, letting him have the blanket. He just tucked himself into his sweater. He looked over at Norman before back at the ground, his voice quiet as he told them the number. This had to be a bad idea. None of this could go well.

IC "Thanks. Well I'm going go give him a little call, you two just go back to cuddling-it was cute," he told them with a light chuckle and Norman's face reddened as he watched ty type in the number and walk back out of the apartment.
