   Location: London, England
Description: A moderately sized flat in southern London that houses three recently graduated young adults with varying levels of responsibilities. The home has been slightly modified to accommodate for Sierra's lack of hearing, Su's vampiristic sleep schedule, and Lewis' propensity to get paint on literally every surface.

I guess to you now, I'm just a face in the crowd
Oh God, kinda please, would you kill me now?
Late at night in my room, lie awake, think of you

It was this feeling that was sinking heavier and heavier in his stomach since his last few days at school that just wasn't going away. Any time he thought about talking to one of his mums about it, the feeling became tighter. Same if he thought about Mea or Rey. He even considered Wen but he wasn't sure if the other boy would even understand. He didn't even understand! When he'd been going over in his head who he could talk to, Lewis came up and for once, the heaviness in his stomach didn't double. It still hurt, but not quite as much as the others, so he figured it was a good start. He'd asked Mum Laili about visiting Lewis at his new home while everyone was busy with work and whatnot and she'd thought it was "adorable" (for some reason) and had agreed to let him floo over. Bryn didn't really enjoy the floo but it was definitely easier than apparition so after stepping out of the fireplace he was happy to note he only sneezed twice instead of his customary five or six. He looked around the living room seeing some stuff here or there but no Lewis so he began looking around trying to find his much larger cousin.

While Lewis loved dearly his best friend and girlfriend, there were days he was excited to have the house to himself. They were both off at work, so after he'd finished at the gym and showered, he set to work on handling some of their chores. As he folded laundry, he did his weekly stealing of his own sweaters and hoodies from Su and Sierra's baskets, then hid them up on top of his closet shelves to try and prevent immediate theft. Somehow they always seemed to find their way in someone else's hands.
After laundry came a good sweep and mop of the floors. Following that should have been handling the remaining dishes, but instead his body determined he was absolutely famished, somehow. Listening to music in the kitchen, Lewis was mixing up ingredients to make his fancy mac & cheese. It was probably something he ate too much of, but oh well. He froze when he heard sneezes from the other room, since he hadn't been expecting visitors. Turning the cheese sauce to low, he stepped out, sighing in relief when he saw his cousin there. "Hey Bryn. You startled me, little dude. Want some lunch?" He offered out a hand to the tween, a smile on his face as always.

It smelled pretty familiar, so it was probably his mac'n'cheese,. He nodded with a small grin and took the older teen's hand, grateful he kept poor Chabbit in his backpack during floo trips. After his first few trips, he noticed his poor friend would get a smoky smell that would take a while to dissipate. He took his friend out of bag and placed him in a near dining chair.
"Sorry. I, I wanted to call but, um." Bryn bit his bottom lip as he began fiddling with his hoodie sleeves since his hands were, for once, empty. "I think..I think I would've stopped myself." he admitted, sighing softly. The heavy feeling was still there and now that he was actually with Lewis, it seemed to be almost pulsing.
Bryn watched his older cousin continue cooking but also looking at his surroundings and seeing the results of cohabitation. There were knitting needles and headphones on the coffee table, and pictures of all three of the older teens separated into neat piles. Some were with all three but a few were just of two or even one of them. He recognized Su but not so much the other person (he's pretty sure if Wen was here he'd remind him that he had surely met Lewis' girlfriend at such-and-such event but at the moment, his mind was drawing a blank.) "You like your friends, right? They don't...you don't get scared or anything?" Bryn suddenly asked, not wanting to look directly at Lewis just yet.

Once back in the kitchen, Lewis worked on draining the shell noodles, preparing to finish everything up. Bryn seemed more nervous than usual, and said he'd wanted to call. He was a little extra fidgety, so Lewis grabbed a small basket of fidget toys they kept on hand for anyone who needed busy hands. He tilted his head when the younger boy admitted he'd have stopped himself from visiting. "Hey, you know I'm safe to talk to, right? About anything. I've always got your back, Bryn." He'd always tried to be safe, anyway. Plus some topics needed a slightly less adulty-adult than ones parents were.
Dumping the noodles into the sauce, Lewis gave the cheesy mix a good stir before putting some in two bowls. One was set before Bryn and he took the other, leaning against the counter so he could try to figure out what was weighing his cousin down. The topic brought up was if Lewis liked his roommates, and the tall teen nodded. "I do indeed. Su and I are pretty used to living together, and Sierra is a really nice addition. She's deaf, like Meallan, though, so it can be a bit of a learning curve. Of course, you're used to that, aren't you?" He was sure that this wasn't the reason his cousin had appeared, but he also knew if he pushed the issue, Bryn may fully shut down. It was clearly something heavy, so he made sure to remain calm, hoping to reassure that it was okay to talk. "They won't be home for a bit, so it's good to have you and Chabbit as company. I was feeling lonely." Hopefully it would help Bryn feel more confident about his choice to come over too.

He grabbed one he was most familiar with, a small cube covered in switches and buttons, and began flicking the switch to calm his nerves. When Lewis responded to him that he was always available to talk, he could only nod not really having the words yet. He waited patiently for his bowl of food to be placed in front of him and offered a soft "thank you" before picking up his spoon to stir his noodles. It smelled really good, he really wanted to eat it, but his stomach was heavy and twisted that he knew he probably shouldn't.
The preteen was grateful that Lewis didn't seem react to his random question but instead answered it like it was perfectly normal. He nodded with empathy as his cousin mention how he was learning to live with someone who was deaf, remembering his own time when he was first adopted. Maybe it'd been easier for him because he was already so quiet, but he could understand how it'd be weird or difficult for others. Bryn raised a small spoonful of past to his lips to blow before finally allowing himself to have a bite, only for it to turn to ash in his mouth as Lewis mentioned he was glad to have him and Chabbit as company. He reluctantly swallowed his food and felt his stomach give a tight clench.
"I like...I like that you like Chabbit. That you're nice to him. My, my friend, he isn't-isn't that nice. Calls him 'thing' or 'it.'" His fingers tightened around his spoon while his other hand went back to the fidget cube, flicking on and off. "I told him to stop, but he-he laughed. Not a nice laugh. I don't...I don't understand." Bryn looked up suddenly towards the older teen.
"Wen is, he's my best friend, he's my first friend. But, but he's also my family. I don't...I don't understand what friends are like. Cos..cos I don't think I like this friend, but he-he says that doesn't matter. That he chose me." The hand with the spoon suddenly jerks causing it to splatter onto the floor much to the young boy's mortification. He immediately and continuously apologizes as he goes to grab some napkins unknowingly showing the bruises on his hand and wrist.

Lewis nodded when Bryn thanked him for lunch. Wherever Lewis went, there was somehow always food, usually alongside about a thousand snacks. But he'd tried his best to make sure everyone in his family and friend circle knew his place was safe for snacks. Especially Bryn, who still sometimes struggled with food. He noticed his cousin looking a little uncomfortable as he tried a bite, and Lewis wondered it maybe it was still too hot. But then, Bryn said that he liked that Lewis liked Chabbit, and that he had a friend that didn't seem all together kind about the bunny. "Of course I like Chabbit. He's a really great buddy to have. Besides, he makes you happy, and that means the whole world." He grinned, hoping to help put the tween at ease.
The conversation definitely seemed like it was difficult for Bryn, but Lewis was sure he'd be able to help. He just had to channel all his kind words. But when he mentioned the other kid had been mean about Chabbit and had laughed at him, Lewis felt a twinge of anger. What a little jerk! But he squished that feeling down so he wouldn't react. Bryn needed calm and compassion, not rage. Lewis nodded as his cousin continued, talking about how Wen was his best friend (and he happened to know Wen thought the same of Bryn!), but that they were also cousins, so perhaps the feeling was skewed. But apparently this little brat said that Bryn's feelings didn't matter because he'd been chosen. Ugh. Creepy!
At the thought, Bryn jerked and dropped his spoon. He looked horrified as he hurried to grab napkins. It was then that Lewis noticed bruises spotting his wrist. Gently, he set a hand on his cousin's shoulder. "Hey buddy, is this kid hurting you? Physically or emotionally. They're both not good." He knelt down, wanting to be closer to the preteen's height. "Bryn, if this person's not being kind to you, then they're not a friend. If they are making you sad, or scared, or even just unhappy, you do not have to be their friend. You - and Chabbit too - are worth so much more than that. You guys don't deserve for anyone to be mean to you. You deserve a friend that makes you happy and makes you feel safe and loved. If anyone ever isn't doing that, then maybe we need to reconsider being friends with them." Of course, he also knew those conversations were difficult to have, even for people who exuded confidence. He gently moved to hold Bryn's hands, trying to make sure he knew that this was a safe space. He definitely didn't want his cousin to think anything otherwise.

His cheeks reddened as he tried-and failed-to hide his grin within his hoodie hearing him speak about his happiness. This of course was all ruined after he stupidly dropped his spoon and hurriedly went to clean his thankfully small mess. He was startled out of his frenzied cleaning by Lewis placing a hand on his shoulder and asking if he was being hurt. It confused him for a second before he looked down and realized he had stupidly raised the sleeve of his sweater and accidentally showed his weeks old bruises. Bryn had a lie ready on his lips, it was one he'd already used on his mums when they saw it, but the stone in his stomach pulsed and the words died in his throat.
"Sometimes...he's nice. Like, like he really doesn't mean it. He says sorry, and he'll bring me snacks. He says it's just what-what happens with friends. But then," the young boy sniffled, realizing that tears had begun to form and gather on his lower lashes. "I hear him with other kids, talking about me and Chabbit. I know..I know it's not really normal but that, that' it's ok, cos it helps. But it hurts and he'll say its for me an-and that, that I should just be 'grateful' and other stuff. And he-" Bryn's voice went silent, unsure how to proceed. He knows that if he says what he's heard, then Lewis will most definitely try to make him tell someone, but then, what would stop him from doing what he said? His hands began to shake within the other's large ones but he held them tight fighting down his fear.
"I told him once, that I didn't want to be his friend. That...that he wasn't a good person. And he-he laughed at me. Said that it's what I deserved and...and that..." Bryn held tighter to the hands, not bothering to wipe the tears now steaming down his cheeks. "He said he could hurt me without even being there. What, what does that mean?"

Lewis listened, looking at his cousin for any nonverbal cues. Of course, he'd had to get really good at reading body language with everyone in his family, but thankfully the younger ones tended to be more expressive. Bryn said that sometimes this kid was nice and would apologize, but... Lewis offered a small nod, hoping to encourage Bryn to continue his thoughts. He could see the tears in those emerald eyes of his, and it broke his heart in twain. Bryn explained that he had heard this other kid talking bad about him and Chabbit, then even said he thought it wasn't normal. Apparently this kid was saying that his being mean was for benefit of Bryn, rather than just him being a pest. "Hey now, I know this is so, so hard to talk about. It's never fun when our feelings are hurt, especially when it can be scary to talk about. But we'll figure this one out, okay?" He gently pat his cousin's teary cheeks with a tea towel, hoping to help.
Lewis gave Bryn's shaking hands a little squeeze, hoping to reassure him. The conversation was difficult, even with a trusted friend, but Lewis figured he may have been picked specifically, which made him feel a little honored... and a little stressed. Bryn managed to continue, saying he'd once told this kid he didn't want to be friends since he wasn't a nice person, but the kid had laughed and said it was what Bryn deserved. But it was his next set of words that felt like a stab to the heart, especially as Bryn sounded so distressed. "It means he's trying to be mean. I know that it's super dupe hard to remember sometimes, but you deserve so much better than that. Bryn, you deserve kindness and love every single day. You deserve care and compassion, not anger and teasing."
He gently pulled the boy a little closer, before wrapping him in a hug. "Hey, I love you so much. And so does Wen, and Rosa, and Mea and Rey. You have so many people that care for you and would do absolutely anything to make you smile. So if this kid doesn't make you happy, we should figure out a good way to communicate those feelings. And maybe we can get a teacher involved, so they can help keep an eye on this kid. Do you think that would help?" He pat Bryn on the back, hoping to keep him nice and calm. Of course, he hadn't expected a squeaky meow from Kahlo as she stretched and walked over, headbutting Bryn in the leg while purring loud enough to hear. "See, even Kahlo wants you to be happy." He chuckled, patting the cat on her little head. She was pretty great emotional support. Or she wanted cheese... definitely one of the two.

I guess to you now, I'm just a face in the crowd
Oh God, kinda please, would you kill me now?
Late at night in my room, lie awake, think of you
And all your little doomst ᖇᥲʋᥱᥒᥴꙆᥲω ᖴɩɾ⳽t Ƴᥱᥲɾ 🟡 Ƴoᥙᥒɠᥱ⳽t ᔑɩᑲꙆɩᥒɠ 🟣 ᙎᥲꙆꙆƒꙆoωᥱɾ 🍎🧀🍊🍍Bryn completely agreed that it was hard to talk about his feelings, especially in this case. He didn't say anything and just allowed Lewis to wipe at his tears with a towel as he thought about what to say next. Any time he had gotten close to talking about this with anyone, it was like his entire body shut down. He'd tried once with Mea hoping that maybe signing would help but his fingers literally froze up and he'd ended up telling the older boy he just wasn't feeling well. He wasn't sure if his brother fell for it, but at least he hadn't questioned him. After getting everything out though, he could feel his shoulders finally slump, releasing tension he long forgotten he'd been carrying as he let Lewis' words wash over him. Bryn leaned into the hug, tentatively raising his arms to wrap around his cousin as he buried his face into his soft sweater only feeling slightly bad that his tears were going to leave a mess. He flinched at the suggestion to getting a teacher involved, which would mean getting his mums and probably the rest of the entire family. Ohboy.
"Don't, don't tell Wen, ok? He'll feel bad, when-when it's not his fault." Bryn mumbled into the sweater. He had a feeling that even if he asked to not tell his mums that it probably wouldn't be followed, but hopefully this would. His friend would feel terrible that this was happening even while he was around, but worse is that he's sure the other preteen would confront Rian and he really really didn't want that to happen. Bryn let out a few shaky breaths to try and get himself back under control but let out a soft "eep" when he felt something brush against his leg. Looking down, he saw Lewis' weirdly loveable bald kitty purring and rubbing her head on him. He offered her a watery grin and bent down to give rub his hands up her back like he'd seen Wen do his own kitty before he began wiping at his wet face. "I don't know if a teacher can help. Rian's really nice around other people and he's really really smart, so they like him. I don't, Idunno if they'll believe me." Bryn sighed, a bit weary. He didn't think the professors disliked him, not like his primary had. But between a normal kid who asked questions and smiled and another who had to take a stuffed bunny to class and barely talked, he was pretty confident who they'd choose.
I've got all this love I've got to keep to myself
All this effort to make it look effortless
All this love I've got to keep to myself
All this effort to make it look effortless

xx✯ Wʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀᴍ I? Home
xxx✯ Wʜᴏ ɪs ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴇ? Bryn, Chabbit, and Kahlo
xxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴏɴ? making lunch surprise visit
xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ'ʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs? Let's think up a plan
As Bryn finally managed to relax into the hug, Lewis rubbed the boy's back, trying to allow him a safe place to let out all those tears. He grinned softly when Bryn wrapped his arms around him, meaning he was relaxed. Immediately, Lewis thought back to his dad saying he'd never end a hug first, because he wanted to make sure his kids always got a hug just as long as they needed. So he figured he'd try the same and let Bryn dictate the hug. After mentioning the teachers, the tall teen felt the little cringe from his cousin. Okay, maybe a new plan. He tipped his head to the side as the soft olive hue twirled into his vision. Bryn simply asked for him not to tell Wen, and immediately Lewis nodded. "Of course. I'll do what I can to make sure you've got support, while making sure we don't make Wen feel bad either." Admittedly, it was in part because when Wen got upset, he often resorted to tears, and he had those big ol' doe eyes that made him look so pitiful.
He could feel the preteen doing his best to calm down, and Lewis was really grateful that his aunts had been really good about teaching emotional regulation. Brown eyes did go a bit wide when Bryn squeaked, but thankfully, it was just because he'd been startled by Kahlo. The hug was partially broken, but he figured it was okay since Bryn was petting a cat. Even nakey, cats were great for love. Lewis listened when his cousin explained that this other little s**t kid was really nice around other people, perhaps to avoid detection. "Well, how about we try making sure you have a bit more support. If he can't be alone with you, the situation would end. And, if we do let any professors know, we can start with Auntie Tanna. Because then if he starts being a pest, she'll beat him up." Lewis grinned, pretending to throw a few punches. "And, perhaps we can look at some other ideas. Like if he tries to talk while you're alone, just say you've got somewhere to be and hurry on your way. If he won't leave you alone, then maybe just making sure he can't be alone with you might help. After he realizes you won't give him a chance, maybe he'll just give up." It would at least serve to be a nonviolent means. Lewis had been bullied too, but his strategy of just befriending his bullies was less likely to work here. Buuuuuut maybe he could find some ideas through the family. At worst, Papa Milo would hear about it and solve the problem via the Abrams Mafia™ that his mum was so confident in.
