Jeremiah pressed his back paws against Nate, pressing him up. It was so hard to not be as rough as he usually is with his brother. He lightly tried to gnaw on one of Nate's legs.
This is absolutely adorable but Cloudy is running out of things to say.
So they can boob cuddle?
What if all these cuddles are really just because Cloud and Dina are cuddle deprived.
A long sigh left Seth and he reached up to poke his brother's nose. "Sorry, I was emotionally abandoned as a child and deprived of all possibilities of creating relationships between people. My ability to create and maintain relationships is damaged and I basically am a fuck up." He snuggled up to his brother, while Milo laid over his back, and said, "Before you ask, yeah, I was looking up how messed up I am."

[SKIP]
The night had passed with little incident and (maybe) Chase had spent the uneventful morning with Amara by (just speculation) taking her out for a quiet breakfast. By the late morning, he decided it was time to check on the twins. He probably knew from experience the trouble they could get into without supervision. Chase rapped his knuckles against the door. "Aaron?" He called. "I'm here to check on Zach and Jay."
Meanwhile, Patch had little to do that morning. It was entirely possible that both Alec and Robbie were occupied elsewhere. Or, maybe Patch was just grabbing something from the vending machine. He walked back to his room with a water and some snacks in hand when he maybe saw Rylan in the hall. "Hey, Ry!" The human called as he made his way over to the blonde. "Where are you headed?"

Lucky for Chase, Aaron had just limped from the bathroom. Sighing through his nose, he limped towards the door and pulled the door open. "They're fine. I got breakfast." He paused, and added, "Oh. Good morning, I guess." If anyone was curious, Aaron still wore his pajamas. Holey sweats and a ratty tank top. And his hair was pulled haphazardly into a small bun--probably with a cat-patterned scrunchie that he got for Nate. Well "for Nate". He stepped aside so that Chase could see that he wasn't lying. "They're good. No problems, or anything."
Zach glanced up with a piece of toast in his mouth and waved at Chase.
"I think they had fun? I don't know. Kids are weird," Aaron sighed.
Rylan jumped. "Cheese on a stick," he breathed. "Plan on giving me a heart attack?" He managed a small smile and ran his fingers through his hair. "Oh. I guess I…" Rylan glanced at him, shoulders curling. "Walking. I..." Sighing through his nose, he muttered, "I'm sure you don't want to listen to me complain. Nice breakfast, by the way." He eyed the food. "Did Kenneth steal your boyfriend from you again?"

Chase couldn't help but chuckle at Aaron's words. "They sure are, aren't they?" He gazed passed Aaron to catch sight of the twins. And maybe, he saw small little Nate nibbling on a piece of toast. Nate's cautious and frightened gaze was locked on the stranger at the door, as if he were preparing for the worst. But he still continued to eat his breakfast. If he had to run, at least he'd be full. Poor Nate. "Anyway," Chase said as he turned his attention back to Aaron. "thanks for letting them spend the night. I appreciate it, and I hope they weren't any trouble for you."
"Hey, you have to listen to people complain all the time. It's only fair, right?" A wide smile curled Patch's lips, only to fall at the mere mention of Kenneth. "Yeah, Alec's with him. And as my boss, Alec has most of the money so I have just enough to get some granola and chips. And Robbie is (insert location here). But I like to think of it like this; Alec with Kenneth means I don't have to worry about Kenneth coming after me. One less thing." Silence fell over Patch for a moment as he thought. He watched Rylan for a moment, his brows falling. "Hey, how are you doing?"

Aaron smirked lightly and said, "It makes Nate happy." He looked over his shoulder and winked at him. "I don't think I've ever seen him really play with other kids. So, this… has been a big, big step." A sigh left him and he said, "Thank you, for trusting me with them."
A voice sounded down the hall. Irritation fell on Aaron's face and he leaned to look out into the hallway.
Rylan hesitated and shook his head. He watched Patch with sad eyes. "Aaron--the… man who Scott saved yesterday, he's bringing up bad-"
"Oi! You fucker!" Aaron snarled. He stepped out of the room and pointed in, "Nate, I will be right back, Zach and Jere will be with you." He turned and shouted, "You fucker! You asshole, you-" Aaron growled audibly. "You shithead, cock-beater-"
"That," Rylan breathed under his breath, feeling a bit of dread. "That is bringing up bad memories."

Poor baby Nate was under the covers the second the shooting in the hallway reached him. But at least he had his piece of toast.
And Chase and Patch had absolutely no idea to do. Patch felt an unexpected urge to be sassy during the uncomfortable confrontation. "Come on, I'm just trying to talk to Ry. Can't you guys wait till you're alone or something?" He let out a sigh and casted his gaze down the hall as he quietly muttered, "There's so much testosterone around here."
Chase had a little more sense than that, as usual. He tried stepping in front of Aaron so he couldn't get any closer to Rylan, looking rather displeased. "If you guys start fighting now, they'll kick us out. And Patch and I will leave you both to explain that to our ketsuki overlord." He glanced over his shoulder and to Rylan, he said, "And if either of you start anything, they'll throw you out of the group." Chase knew that punishment better than anyone.

Rylan gave Chase a guilty glance. Every time he thought of that day, he wondered if there was something he could have done to help. And Patch. Fighting was such an inconvenience. Sighing, Rylan said, "Aaron, you have stitches in your leg and can barely keep yourself upright. Chase is right. And Patch."
"Oh. They're right? I shoulda guessed. Welp. I'll just let it all fucking go now," Aaron snarled. "Save it for another day."
"Look, Aaron-"
"Now, you look," Aaron jabbed a finger at Rylan and looked at Chase. "You guys have been traveling around with this backstabber. I'll tell you. He doesn't give two shits about any of you. He'll drive a knife into your back, the second it's convenient for him." He took shook his head, flipping Rylan off. (Optional because I am not sure how you can reply to) "Rylan walked over me so many fucking times, and abandoned me twice-"
"Twice? I was in a coma," Rylan snapped. "Just because you had a crush on me didn't mean you owned me, Aaron-"
"That's not the point!" Aaron shouted. "I never cared if you liked me, I never expected it! You knew, Rylan, you were my fucking lifeline and you just rubbed it in my face-"
"You are so fucking selfish!" Rylan growled. "I can't deal with this shit-"
"No! I deserve--" Aaron choked, "I deserved better than that."

"Rylan's not like that anymore," Patch snapped at Aaron. "He used to be a psycho freak but he's probably been more helpful then anyone in this group who's supposed to look out for us." Poor Patch, he knew what it was like to be picked on. And he was going to defend Rylan. For a moment, the human gave into a moment of weakness and his brows rose. "Look, I know we all deserve better than what we were stuck with. But you're not going to get anything better than you have by picking fights and bitching about it. Just walk away before someone gets hurt because then Kenneth will be pissed if they do and he'll come after me because I'm the scapegoat." At least it wasn't because he was a human.

Surprise touched every corner of Rylan and he stared at Patch in shock. His words echoed in his head and--helpful? He was… helpful? Something warm touched him. It filled his chest, and pushed throughout his body. It let him forget the nagging loneliness that stayed within him. His eyes flickered towards Aaron, whose face got ready for another bought of loud yelling. That's what he always did best. Rylan stepped forward and placed a hand on his shoulder and searched for--there. Sorrow. Pain. He tried to magnify those emotions, to drown the anger.
Aaron choked and snapped his shoulder away from him. "Don't do that emotion shit on me-" His voice wavered.
"Aaron," Rylan said quietly. "Patch is right. I was lost. And I acted out. I left because I didn't… I couldn't handle what happened to me. I am--I am sorry."
Gritting his teeth, Aaron shifted and perhaps used Chase as a crutch to keep him up. "As if sorry fixed-"
"It doesn't. But it's a start." Rylan grasped tightly onto Patch's hand and started to walk away. "If Kenneth ever gives you trouble for anything," he muttered, "I can make a few good clones." His lips curled and he said, "But I don't know what you're talking about. I'm still a psycho freak."
(Optional)
Aaron breathed heavily and he shook his head. "We grew up in an orphanage together. My family sent me to Calder--to Calder--so I stopped--ugh. Whatever. Rylan looks like fucking shit, and he's probably getting what he fucking deserves-" Aaron choked. "Godsdamned vudoo magic, emotions, making be feel-" He stepped back and leaned against the wall, trying to compose himself so he could see Nate.

Well, Patch was certainly glad that he was able to alleviate the situation. Someone. He figured Rylan did most of the work with manipulating Aaron's emotions and all of that. But Rylan's light smile caused his own lips to curl. "Sorry, Rylan, but Sam has all but tarnished your reputation as a cold heartless psycho. But I wouldn't feel too bad, I'm sure Sam does that to everyone." Again, he paused and assessed the state of the blonde. "Are you alright, though?"
"I know it's hard, seeing an old friend again," Chase started as he leaned against the wall beside Aaron. "But you and Nate need to stay here for the time being so Scott can keep an eye on you two. You won't be able to if you keep starting fights. So please, for you r sake and Nate's, just stay away from Rylan for now and he'll stay away from you. And I'll be sure to keep Seth at a distance as well."
