Christian didn't like to be told to open his eyes. They were already wide open. He knew full well what he did when it came to anyone he found particularly attractive. It was a habit that he couldn't get out of. Was it really his fault that he had yet to find that one person to stick with out of all of those people? He decided he would rather not react to that, he was already screwed anyways. Instead crossing his arms across his chest and stepping away.

For Aidan the answer was clear enough. "Thought so" He sighed and bowed to pick up his bag. "I guess that makes everything clear. Well...at least you know I wasn't going to hurt your sister. We may not have had the best start but I respect her. And I'm going to finish this photoshoot whether you like it or not" He shrugged and turned around wishing in his heart for Christian to stop him. He stopped taking off his glasses, cleaning them with his scarf to give the man some time. That naive he was.

Aidan might have been naive but it sure as hell fooled Christian. He stopped in his tracks and turned to face them, at a loss of what to do. He couldn't stop Aidan from finishing his shoot, one look at Addy told him that she really wished to continue. But he also didn't like to be pushed aside for his sister, something that he often done to her in the past. "No..nothing seems to be very clear at the moment" He replied, catching Aidan's arm to force him to turn back around.

Aidan yelped when he was turned around forcefully. The feeling reminded him of his father so much his eyes filled with tears again, widening in fear. "Stop it!" He screamed wrenching his arm free and taking a few steps back, fingers curled up around the place where Chris grabbed him. It was more fear and the memories that hurt nim than the actual pain itself.

Adia jumped up the moment she heard Aidan's yelp, giving her brother a hard push in fear that he had actually done something to intentionally hurt him. "What the hell Christian?" She hissed, rubbing Aidan's arm. "He was never going to hurt me! Why don't you get that through your head? He's my friend!"
Christian backed away, not fully understanding what had just happened nor why his sister was screaming at him like he had done something wrong. He had only been trying to talk to him, face to face. "I..I..I didn't.." He stuttered looking between the two of them. Neither one of them seemed to want him here. "Right..screw this.."

Aidan was still looking at him with his big eyes wide open, looking like two moons now. But when Adia jumped to him and touched his arm he jumped back too sitting on the ground and wrapping long arms around his knees rocking gently. "Don't hurt me" He murmured. everything came back to him and even though he was already nineteen and knew how to deal with things the memories paralyzed him.

Once again Christian was forced to stop in his tracks because believe it or not he actually cared about some people. Aidan included in that very short list. He wouldn't have wasted his time bringing a shy boy out of his shell for nothing. He dropped to his knees next to the rocking boy and wrapped his arms around him, Adia doing the same on his other side. "Don't say that. I'm not him Aidan..I'm not.."

Aidan looked up at him blinking a few times. His eyes managed to focus on Christian's face again this time seein ghis face not his father's. He clinged to Christian curling fingers in his shirt. A few shuddering breaths later he sat back up . "I'm sorry" He said looking at both Christian and Adia. He was going to get his composure back and act mature but he leaned back into Christian instinctively.

Christian's grip tightened around him and he kissed the side of his head even though he felt a pain in his chest at being compared to Aidan's father. He never touched people that way unless he had to. "No you aren't.." He whispered, shrugging off his apology. "You see that girl right there. She means the world to me and I have to protect her.." Adia opened her mouth to protest but he silenced her with a sharp look.

Aidan nodded looking at Adia and smiling faintly. "I know. But I really don't want to hurt her. I could never do that" He said quietly. "She wants to protect you too, you know...but I don't want to hurt anyone. It's the last thing I would do. Maybe I should leave" He said but diadn't actually move.

"You people talk about me like I'm not even here" Adia huffed, crossing her arms in a pout. Christian ignored her, pressing his free hand to her forehead and pushing her away from the man in his arms so that she fell backwards. "You ass"
Chris rolled his eyes. "No..you are staying.." He refused to let go and have him leave on bad terms although he had so been up for just that a total of two minutes ago. "You have to stay and clear things up"

Aidan's lip curled up into a small smile both at the view of the twins playing and the fact that Chris wanted him to stay. Someone wanted his company. He felt needed. "Alright" He nodded reaching his hand out for Adia to help her up. "But how do I clear things up?" He asked looking back at Christian.

Adia took his hand, pulling herself back up looking harassed. "I don't know..how about start with your relationship with my sister and why I'm just finding out about it and then maybe end with what you feel about me. You said you liked me but how could I be so sure?" He suggested, finally freeing Aidan from his embrace.

Aidan sat cross-legged and rubbed at his face taking the glasses off on the way. "Alrigtht. The relationship with your sister. We met one day...started insulting each other, then talked for a while and ended up sharing our dreams with each other. I told her about my dream and she told me about hers. Being a model. You don't know that about me but one of my big hobbies is taking pictures. I'm good at it. So I offered her a photoshoot so she'd have more photos in her portfolio?" He explained. "I didn't tell you about it because she asked me not to. She wanted to do it herself" He was playing with his glasses not really knowing what to do with his hands. "And you can be sure it's true because...you know me enough to know you're the first person I ever told that"

"I've been thinking for days on how to surprise you.." Adia nodded to show it was true. "I begged mum and dad to watch the kids for me so I could transfer here. I've really missed you. Anyways, Aidan played peeping tom on me in one of my dance practices..that's how I met him. I made him promise not to tell you that I was here. I wanted it to be special"
"You are majoring in dance?" Christian asked, deciding to over look the peeping tom comment. "But Addy..haven't you ever seen yourself? You can't dance"
"Neither can you!"
"Yeah, that's why I'm doing something that I know"
Adia rolled her eyes, sitting up on her knees to wrap her arms around Aidan from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder. "Since my idiotic brother isn't trying to knock your head off anymore, will you please finish my photoshoot? Pretty pretty pwease?" She asked, batting her eye lashes up at him.
Christian silently edged away from the happy couple. Finding it hard to believe Aidan's words when he saw them this close together. He scratched behind his ear awkwardly. "Right.." He mumbled under his breath.
