A/N: Heeeey, people. Exhausted student who should be working checking in. I'm really close to being done, but there's still a lot of work to do.
Many thanks to bradburythequeen for the review, and I hope you continue to enjoy your sibling fluff. :3
Episode: None, but very early season 1.
Rating: K+
Warning: Angst
Inspiration: Despite the feel-good nature of the first episode, I figured Leo's assimilation into the family was probably pretty rocky in some places. This is one of those places.
Be the reason someone smiles today! :D And if you have a minute, please drop a review. I'd sincerely appreciate it. :)
"Adam..." Chase's greeting was hesitant.
"Hey," Adam answers. That's all. He wonders why it's not Bree who came, as default comforter.
"Look," Chase began, still uncertainly. "Leo... he didn't mean what he said, okay? He's really sorry."
Adam shrugged. He should be used to people calling him stupid by now, but new step-brother's insults had stung differently, had hurt.
"He doesn't really know you yet. He'll come around."
Chase had thrown out similar insults, often. But he was family, and he didn't mean it. Leo had no right.
Chase sighed. "I'll talk to him," he said, finally, and slipped away.
