ROYAL CASSIDY.
❛ he was my dad’s mistake, ryan. he’s not my fucking brother. ❜ his voice tensed as he barely looked at the kid before walking into the coffee shop. his aggravation with the situation was high and ryan being there and making him nervous did not help in the slightest. ❛ yea, you have. try living in a world where you’re reminded of a mistake your dad made every damn day of your life. ❜ was that too real ? he didn’t care at this point. this was the moment when he turned to ryan –– sudden interest in his eyes as he spoke. ❛ it doesn’t matter why i hate him, ryan. it’s fucking pointless anyways. ❜
“okay.” his voice was weak but he can’t help his own thoughts about being adopted filling in his brain. maybe this was how teddy probably thought of him, maybe teddy looked at him and just thought about how much of a mistake he was that he had had to be given up for adoption. the thoughts by itself hurt but he forces a smile to try to understand royal’s words and not feel like he was the opposite side of the story. “okay.” he repeated, eyes now averting from the other as he tries to suppress every urge to tell the other how closed minded his words sounded but he cared too much and he didn’t have it in him to get on the other’s bad side. “how about i get you something to get your mind off of it?” he said brightly but his eyes didn’t match the happiness he forced out with his voice.
