Theo listened, easily imagining the two of them standing in this room. Neither of them were particularly good at being kind to one another. “Kaiden Lachlan, you walked into a room all alone with an aggressive scar who specifically doesn’t like you and started spouting his own ugly back at him?” No wonder it went poorly. “You ever thought about not letting someone else’s rude or cranky goad you? Because seriously, man.” He pulled out the other blanket and threw it down.

Ezekiel could not be with everyone else. He had to be away from them all. Out of control. How was that trustworthy enough to be around someone young and impressionable like Alex? Someone so kind and willing to learn about others. Willing to accept. Ezekiel had been so willing earlier. What happened? How had this gone so wrong? He found himself in another room as in bad a shape as the rest. That was where he could stay.

Kai looked down at the ground, specifically not looking at Theo. “Well. Yes. I was trying to be polite at firsf. Offering to sleep somewhere else. But.. then I threatened to take Alex away and give him more scars, and called him a scar too. But he.. it’s never gotten physical like that before. He rammed me into the wall, then had his hand on my throat, and I’m pretty sure he saw the wince the first time and did the same thing again to my back.” Kai replied, as if trying to make it seem like he didn’t try to start anything nor did he feed into it when he did feed into it.​

Darn it. “Seraphite. Right. Ooh, that’s so hard to remember.” He groaned and said it several times in his mind. Seraphites. Seraphites. Seraphites. “So, you both were searching for a fight? Because that’s clearly what was happening earlier.” Theo wasn’t sure what was happening quite yet. He was going to figure it out but not yet. Not yet. “Kai, is this about your dad? Are you taking out your frustrations on this guy because he’s an easy target? Or because he’s also looking for a fight?” He frowned. “Maybe he’s dealing with something like that too? Or maybe not. He could just be rude.” Theo leaned against him just a little but not too much. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything.”

Kaiden looked away, biting his lip. He’d knew what they were called. He’d used the slur on purpose, to rile his.. friend up. No. Not friend. Clearly. He blinked at the question and looked up at Theo. “No. It’s not about dad! It’s.. I don’t know. But it’s not that. We’re just looking for a fight, and we seem drawn to fight with each other. That’s it.” Kai said, feeling Theo lean on him a little. “Look, this isn’t me taking my frustrations out on someone else, this is just.. two very different people who clearly can’t get along. Now can we drop it? I’m kind of tired.”​

Theo didn’t believe it. He felt like to had to be more than that, but he didn’t think pushing it was a good idea. He raised both of his hands and nodded. “Fine. It’s just…” he sighed. “It’s fine. You’re fine. I’m sure. Get some rest?” He laid down, using his jacket as a pillow. He closed his eyes and hoped that he could sleep. He was not hopeful.

Kaiden did not want to talk more about it. He was thankful when Theo decided to drop it. “You get some rest too.” Kaiden told him, closing his eyes. And his night was restless and painful. Every time he went to turn, his back reminded him that was not a good idea. And overall he managed probably three hours of sleep. He was awake much of it, thinking. Was there more between their fights? Was Kaiden missing something? Or was this really about him getting his frustration out? No matter how he thought about it, nothing made sense. He was up early, head turned to look at the sunrise through the window.

Alex slept okay, though every now and then he’d startle awake at a sound. He wasn’t used to sleeping alone. And he couldn’t move well. He ended up waking up around sunrise, and while he was mostly sore, he was okay. Alex sat up, looking for his brother. He didn’t like being alone anymore awake then he did asleep.​

Theo laid there for a while, trying to make sense of the day, until he finally fell asleep. He slept alright. He woke a few times, but otherwise got his rest as well as one could on the floor of a crumbling building long since abandoned. He still slept as the sun rose.

Ezekiel did not sleep. Well, he dozed occasionally when his body got tired and he finally sat on the floor. He leaned his head and back against the wall. After hours and hours of thinking about this, going through waves where it was all his fault and then it was all Kaiden’s, he dozed for a while. A small while. He maybe slept two hours throughout the night. He was up long before the sun. He wandered the abandoned building the last hour or so.

Kaiden gritted his teeth, and shifted, sitting up and swallowed the gasp of pain. He didn’t want to wake up his brother. As long as they made it back today, he could fight through the pain to do so. He sat like that for a while before he nudged Theo. “Theo? Are you awake?” He asked, watching his brother carefully.

Alex sat up, his back was sore but he managed to get on his feet. He put his bow on his back before he started walking down the hall. He looked spend, searching for Ezekiel or for Kai and Theo. He poked his head in one to see Kaiden and Theo. He knocked on the door frame and Kai waved him in. “Hey, I’m.. I’m sorry for Ezekiel.” Alex said softly. Kaiden sighed and smiled. “It’s fine.” He said quietly.​
