When Chris arrived a bit earlier to pick up Brock, Finn was already ready as well and had told the school he was leaving just a bit early. No one really batted an eye, he had a glowing reputation at work, and so soon enough he was slipping into the passenger seat and smiling to Chris gently. Of course, he didn't say anything to Chris about... Well, everything, and simply let Brock talk and fill the silence of the car ride. He talked to the boy about what he would make for dinner, though recalling what was at the house he figured he had few options... Maybe he'd run out and get some things for burgers? Well, he would see when they got there.<br/><br/>He was just sitting down with Brock to work on the boy's homework, though he was careful not to give him an unfair advantage over the other kids if he could help it, when he heard the front door. His stomach sank, but he gave a sad smile as Brock hurried to his mother. There had been a small part of him that had hoped Brock might not be so excited to see here, that he would choose Chris and maybe himself to cling too rather than the woman who had left him and his father alone, but of course, that was just selfish thinking... He was only a child.<br/><br/>Still, as he looked at the pair who entered the house he couldn't help but note how they looked, and while he didn't base things on appearances, he did on actions, and it was the man who seemed to be the one that was the most troubling. He watched him with a calm and relaxed smile, just as welcoming as he would be to anyone, though he had a feeling that simply being polite and placating wouldn't be the best way to handle this person, not with Brock here anyway.<br/><br/>He listened to the men talk and felt his skin prickling at how the man spoke to Chris. Maybe it wasn't his business, but it was still frustrating to just stand there and listen to someone degrade the man who was working so hard to raise his child. He didn't really follow a lot of it, but he got enough, enough to know that this person was just toxic and only wanted to drag others down with him. It wasn't long before Chris was looking to him and apologizing, though as this Jimmy person interjected again and Chris continued Finn softly shook his head and offered Chris a soft, understanding smile. He didn't need him to apologize, and he didn't really care that he was in the middle of all this chaos... He just wanted to be there for the child and his father when he could be.<br/><br/>And so he looked to Jimmy, offering the same polite expression, but his eyes were not wavering... He was bad with people, but people like this he didn't care about offending. "We aren't. And I'd really prefer it if you stop acting like some rebellious teenager and like an adult while you're around Brock. He doesn't need to hear you talking like that, much less to his father. And put your feet on the ground. You're in someone's home, not some little motel room in the sticks." He spoke calmly and rather lightly, almost as though his words weren't thinly veiled insults to the other just in case the little boy overheard any of it... He didn't want Brock hearing his cuss the man out, though that wasn't really his type of thing to do anyway.<br/><br/>Finn wasn't the type to waver, even as the man gave him a hard glare, Finn simply stared back. "Sorry, you aren't the type of person who scares me. Anyone who just likes to mock others to make themselves feel better about where they got themselves in life is just a child." He shrugged lightly, offering Chris a reassuring smile. He'd assure him later that everything was fine, but right now he felt like comforting Chris was just going to start the man's rant again about them being together, which honestly he simply assumed was because saying a straight man was dating a guy was usually used as an insult anyway. He didn't realize that there was any piece of it that could be the truth.<br/><br/>His eyes did glance to Brock and his mother again though, and honestly, she was the one who made him worry more. He was positive that of the pair Chris could gain full custody of Brock, but he wasn't sure that the woman would ever fully let him go if she was back here now like this. But unlike with Jimmy, he didn't feel like he could tell her off right then, she was precious to Brock, despite everything... And there was nothing to be done about that while he was still just a little boy who loved his mother. It was honestly unfair, making him feel this way, and someday he didn't doubt that the woman would try to make him choose between her and his father... And that only broke Finn's heart all the more.
