Who: Adrian & Isaiah Delacroix
What: It's time for a reunion
When: Monday night
Where: Airport, then Isaiah's dorm
Warnings: Could be none, could be all of them. TBD

Isaiah had bundled himself up for the trip to Logan Airport from his dorm. He really was happy that Adrian was coming to see him, it had just...been a very long time since he'd seen him. So he didn't really know what to expect from this reunion.

He scanned the arrivals board, looking for his brother's flight, then headed down to the gate to wait. He bounced on his toes, full of nervous energy.

	That absolute son of a bitch. "I warned him. I warned him-" Not that there was much he could do, but there was a lot he wanted to do. "Dammit, Isaiah. I- I'm so sorry. That fucker did it to me for three years. It's why I left." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ade, this isn't your fault," Isaiah told him. "He's sick and twisted, he preyed on us because he thought he could. I don't blame you for leaving, that's why I left too. I wanted to get as far away from there as I possibly could." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Adrian deflated and he went to sit near Isaiah. "Yeah," he said softly. "God, I'm so sorry. I should've- I should have told someone, but I was just so afraid- I kept picturing our father kicking me out of the house at gunpoint too, and I just couldn't- I was too scared."

"I'm pretty sure he would have, too," Isaiah muttered. "Blamed the whole thing on you, somehow. I don't blame you for being scared. I lived three years feeling constantly on edge, and I don't think I breathed a sigh of relief til I was on that plane to Boston."

He found one of Adrian's hands and squeezed it gently. "But you got out, Ade. You got away, we both did. We survived, and that has to count for something, right?"

	"Yes," Adrian nodded and he squeezed Isaiah's hand back. "Yes, we did. I remember thinking being in Africa wasn't far enough away. I threw myself into work to try to forget." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I feel you there," he agreed. "I threw myself into my studies, because it took up all my time, all my concentration. There wasn't enough energy left to remember. And I liked it that way. He...he screwed with my head so bad, Ade. A girl came on to me at a bar my freshman year and I almost had a panic attack." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Adrian groaned and nodded. "I know. I can't- I haven't had a relationship. I can't, the idea of one terrifies me. I'm probably lucky in that missionaries don't get hit on that much, but it does happen occasionally and I just clam up. I hate it."

Adrian shifted a little before saying, "I hate that this happened to you too, but...I've never talked to anyone about this before. It's...like a weight is being lifted."

	"Why do you think I hide in my dorm?" Isaiah asked. "It's safer. I don't need people asking why I'm turning pale and leaving abruptly." "I know the feeling," he agreed. "I mean, it fucking sucks dragging this up again, but it feels a bit better, not to have it all locked up anymore." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Adrian hated that Isaiah understood everything he had been through. He wanted to wrap his arms around his little brother and protect him, but it was too late now. "We should...watch something silly. Order more food later. Drink a lot of beer. I'm so sorry I didn't protect you better, Isaiah." (Reply to this) (Parent)
