"Don't lie Cain." Merc said, looking up at him. "Why don't you tell your mother what happened last night, since you won't tell me."

Cain set his jaw, glowering at mercutio, before turning his back on them. 'I got mugged, okay? I'm fine.' 'Cain!!' Akemi gasped. 'You need to go to a hospital-' 'Why? I'll heal.' 'Cain!' Face flushed slightly from increasing irritation, he shot his mother a look that would put his fathers to shame. 'im fine. I have school. Bye.' He said, leaving his breakfast untouched, and walking to the door, tugging up his hood.

As he walked outside, there was the sound of a running engine. One that would have sounded very familiar. "Morning sleeping beauty. Bit late aren't we?" Jason asked, grinning at him from where he leant.

Cain stared, then heard the sound of his mother's panicked footsteps, and his fathers angry ones. Without even a seconds thought, he rushed over and climbed in. 'Drive.' He hurriedly said, glancing up at he door as Akemi opened it, and her renewed look of panic. 'And uh- morning.'

"Oh sh*t." He ran around to the drivers side of the car, and got in, pulling his door closed as he shifted the car into gear and began to drive off. "Oh my lord what did you do?" He asked, looking at Cain.

'I got mugged, and I got a lift home in your car.' He awkwardly replied. 'My mother wants me to go to the hospital, but I really can't be bothered.' He said, running a hand through his msssy hair and pulling down his hood.

"...Y'know...hell hath no fury like a mothers scorn." He said, staring at him. "She's gonna whup yo @ss when she next sees you."
((And Jason knows hell x'D ))

'nah. She'll just wear that really sad look and make me feel guilty. Dad'll beat on me though.' He said, looking out of the window. He glanced at Jason. Then frowned, finally realising this was weird. 'Uh... why were you outside my house?'

"Well...there's a story. I got home, tried to call you, and got some poor Irish woman on the other end." He said, grinning at him. "So then I thought, I'll call him to tell him, then remembered the number was wrong, so here I am." He looked over at him.

Cain blinked, then his cheeks flushed red. 'I'm s-sorry! I-' flushing an even deeper red, clearly extremely embarrassed, he looked away. 'I can't r-read numbers properly.' He mumbled.

Jason blinked, then smiled. "You got that dyscalc-whatsit?" He asked curiously, taking a complete stab in the dark.

Cain coughed and nodded. 'Discalculia. ...I'm Dyslexic, too...' he ran a hand through his hair, bright red with embarrassment. 'You'll have to type my number on your own.'

"Heh, pass your phone then." He said, staring at the road as they drove, and holding his hand out at the same time.

Cain handed over his phone, glancing at him, suddenly feeling a sharp blossom of want to skip school that day as he examined him. Awkwardly, he brushed it aside. 'I go to Sakura School, a few blocks over.' He said, smiling slightly, once again embarrassed at his parents money.

Jason opened it and began to type, using both hands to hold the phone and his wrists to steer, his focus completely divided between the two tasks, yet he still managed to drive properly.

Cain watched him with worry, then took back his phone when he was done. 'Thanks.' He said, blushing slightly. 'You can drop me at the gates.' He added, watching the school approach.

"Alright then." He said, smiling as he pulled up and stopped outside of the gates. "Enjoy your day." He cooed, like a parent would when they drop their kids off.

'Yeah- seems his mental prowess isn't quite as weak as his physical. Makes you wonder why he's still with them.' Russell replied, a slight headache behind his eyes now. He smiled at Riley. 'At least we got out of there without any bother.' He said.

ROLEPLAY- "We're not quite out of the woods yet." Riley mutttered, glancing behind them before dashing forward once again to catch up with Russell. Riley tensed a little as the passed by the alleyway were he had been attacked by his brother nearly a year ago now. He absently brushed his neck were he still had the scar from the attack.
Mouth set in a line, he glanced up at Russell and the unconscious Devon. "Do you think he'll accept my help even though I'm human?" -

Cain blushed and looked at him with a soft glare, climbing out of the car and skulking up into school. He got to his class and headed inside, wincing to see the seating arrangement had changed- again- and he was sat with the damned Egyptian instead of his friends. He glared at them as they hollered at him, irritably taking his seat and slouching into his hoodie, making all efforts to avoid the guy.

'It might take time.' Russell worriedly replied. 'He can stay with me and Abe for now, but we can't keep him permanently, we don't have the space.' He hefted Devon a little to keep a hold of him. 'Do you have anywhere he can stay?'

Vancha looked up at him, then sighed irritably and shuffled as far away as he could...which wasn't that far. He popped a pieced of gum into his mouth, and leant on his hand, staring at the board, his electric blue eyes completely avoiding Cain.

The kicker came when the teacher announced they would be doing projects- in pairs- with the people they were sitting with. Cain noticed her smile at him, and he shot her a dirty, angry glare, knowing immediately she was trying to make them be friends. 'The project can be on anything you want- just remember that you have to present it at the end of the month.'

Vancha gave her an equally seething glare, andeen went as far as flipping her off when she turned around. "How about I just do all the work, and take all the credit?" He muttered. "I highly doubt you'll be bothered to do anything anyway."

ROLEPLAY- Riley nodded. "He can stay with Amy and Chloe until he gets back on his feet. We have plenty of room at the house and Amy has wards up to stop things getting in unnoticed." He laughed, rubbing his wrist. "To be married to a witch." He looked at Russell. "We have plenty of room for him." -

Cain's cheeks flushed a deep, angry red at Vancha's words, and he turned to give him a death glare. 'I'll have you know I'm working at an A*.' He hissed. 'I didn't make it to this class by sitting on my a*s doing nothing.' Clearly hurt and p*ssed off at Vancha's assumption, he looked away, hands actually trembling as he clearly strained to calm himself down. The teacher warily examined him. 'Cain, would you like to take a walk?' 'Yes.' He snapped, getting to his feet and immediately leaving the classroom.
Fifteen minutes later he came back, calmer but still irritated, and looking absolutely exhausted from the sudden emotional overwhelm. Sipping at a cup of water which he held in a still trembling hand, he sat down, tugging his hood up slightly, hair falling over his face to hide from the people that were shooting him glances.

'Well, I'm partnered to my species literal enemy.' Russell replied, grinning at Riley. 'Witches certainly earn their respects from all communities.' He glanced down at Dev, who was still out like a light. 'We'll take him to yours then.' He said, nodding at him. 'Shall we go there now?'

Vancha didnt look at him, too focussed on the paper in front of him, which he was scribbling away furiously on. At a closer inspection, it could be seen that he was writing sheet music.

Cain watched him, becoming almost immediately distracted, and proceeded to just sit and watch him for the next twenty minutes- before the teacher patted her hand down hard on the desk between them, her eyebrows raised. '...I asked if you two had decided on a subject.' 'S-sorry! I was distracted.' Cain hurriedly replied, embarrassed. 'N-no.' 'It's okay.' She replied, smiling, looking at Vancha. 'Sorry to break your focus, Hun. Please talk about what you want to do for the project. Once done, I'll tell you what to do next.' Curiously, Cain realised she was treating Vancha in the same manner that she treated Cain.

He blinked at her, then slowly put his own down and nodded, before turning to look at Cain, blinking slowly.

Cain watched the teacher leave, then awkwardly glanced at Vancha, then away again, cheeks red, quickly growing irritated again- but it was out of embarrassment and shame, not from dislike. His leg began to bounce from his discomfort. 'You can choose the subject.' He mumbled.
