The gesture was comforting, more than Mel knew. Caden liked the male for than his words could describe. How could he admit his feeling without ruining that they had? "I know you did... I just... Don't know what to say Mel. You're just amazing" he said still holding him tightly. Mel really was his lifeline. If it wasn't for the wall eyed beauty, where would he be. He owed the place so much. "Thank you Mel. I mean it. I'll try my best to keep trouble from your door" but that was easier said than done. Nobody could stop the trouble that was probably going to unfold in front of them.<br/><br/>So far he'd promised to keep his hands to himself. But how was that going to work around Chris? There wasn't any keeping your hands to yourself when the two were around each other. But he was going to try... for now at least. He owed Mel more than a simple promise though... He wasn't about to admit what his parents had been doing to him either. Mel already knew too much and the lessons weren't enough to scar him. Things healed within time and that was enough to keep him looking forward.<br/><br/>Caden had stopped sniffing and drew back to joke about his attire. He knew how the staff dressed when they worked, but his eyes met Mel's when he admitted to liking his current clothes more. Was he joking? The comment made him chuckle "Man... you must be getting old" he teased. It was obvious that Caden had no idea what he needed to join the Black Bird team, but when Mel spoke about a license, he started to feel like he was being more like a pain than a help. "Oh..." he started but was cut off by a knock on the door.<br/><br/>It opened and a pink haired male popped in. Caden took a few seconds to recognise him. He'd seen Caleb a few times, but he didn't know his as well as everyone else. "Sorry. I didn't mean to cause any trouble. Was Mel really pacing?" he asked looking at Mel again with a small smile. "I thought Chris was joking..." he teased.<br/><br/>But as Caleb went on, he could feel his cheeks heating a little. He knew Mel and Caleb were exchanging gestures and looks to one another, but he didn't have the heart or balls to ask what he was missing. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't think I'd meet anyone shorter than Mel" he said playfully. He was trying his best to act more like himself, but he was still a little hesitant with his words.<br/><br/>But he slightly regretted his teasing words when Mel said Caleb would be training him. He slowly stood up and patted his clothes out and let out a quiet sigh. "Alright. I hope that would be a problem. My aim was to take away work without adding any" he said looking at the pair with a weak smile. He waited for them to exchange their handover and waited for Caleb to grab the laptop.<br/><br/>He'd rather stay with Mel, but the reassuring touch and words made him relax a little. "Thanks. I'll steal your number this time too. Maybe I'll be able to give you a message when things blow up" he said as Caleb came back out the office. He turned his attention to the pink haired male and nodded his head. "No problem. Just let me know what information you need and I'll do the rest. I understand legal requirements and it doesn't sound scary at all" he said walking over to the smaller male. "I'm ready when you are".
