Prompt: Cry

Trigger warning for mentions of abuse.


Adam had fled to Cabeswater this time. It was the only place that felt like home to him.

The bruises were in a more visible spot this time, and it was too warm to be wearing long sleeves, so Adam hadn't a clue how he could keep on covering them up and hiding them at Aglionby, the school of rich raven boys.

He was all alone there, sitting down next to a tree trunk. A dam burst inside of him, and Adam began to cry uncontrollably.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him, and he tried to sniffle up the tears, but they kept flowing.

Ronan Lynch sat down beside him, and didn't say one word about how he was 'such a wimp for crying.' "Your father again?" Ronan asked, sucking in a breath as he took in Adam's bruises. Adam nodded after a second.

Ronan put his arm around Adam and held him as he cried. "I'm here for you, Parrish, any time you need me."
