A/N: Busy, busy, busy weekend. It began pretty awful, but got better from there. Sorry for the delay, though.
And this drabble concludes the Protector miniarc! Hopefully the ending surprises one or two of you, and isn't an entirely played out idea. After this, I have a two part bit to post, then inspiration will supply something currently unknown.
Thanks to bradburythequeen for the review! Appreciate it! :D
Episode: Some point after the episode Trent Gets Schooled
Ratings: K+
Warnings: Adam's a tad scary when he's angry. And Chase is sneaky.
Inspiration: Still pandering to my love of protective siblings, but with a twist.
Be the reason someone smiles today! And if you have a moment, I would love a review. :)
It was a quick explanation, followed by long silence.
"Thanks," Chase said, finally. "I... didn't realize you'd noticed him picking on me." True, yet hardly truth. "It had been getting kind of bad."
Adam almost growled. "You should've told me. I could've done that ages ago!"
"I know." A beat. "Sorry."
Adam slung an arm around Chase's shoulders. "Just tell me next time, okay?"
Chase nodded, glad for Adam's unsuspicious nature. He couldn't tell Adam the bruise had come from him. Adam didn't realize he actually did damage roughhousing. The realization would hurt him. That conversation was for another day.
