Caden couldn't argue with Alan about Hurt being a part of life. It was an emotion everyone felt. "I know..." he said walking over to him. "I'm sorry. I'm not used to speaking out like this. But I felt it was needed. I won't bring it up again" and he meant it too. It was clear Alan wasn't ready to speak about the past and Caden wasn't going to force him.<br/><br/>The soft touch to his hand made a weak smile set on his face "I understand. I do and I do want to know you. I'm just trying to figure all this out. It's hard having two people in the house" he admitted. Caden had managed to keep himself together so far, but he could feel his hold on the matter slowly slipping away with every second he spent with Alan.<br/><br/>"Nothing is impossible. If you want something badly enough, you just need to reach for it. As for myself..." Charles had the thing he needed. Luckily he wasn't worked up, but it was still uncomfortable. "I don't need anything" he lied after a few seconds of thought. "I'm... well, maybe it's best you don't know" It wasn't like Alan could help him out without making him more frustrated or uncomfortable. But the soft touch was comforting, and he quickly found himself wanting more. "Is there anything I can help you with? For the time being? It could be a form of apology if you'd like? I'll need to type something over to Charles so he doesn't think I've slipped off the radar. He wasn't too keen about my coming in here alone" he said honestly. But he didn't make any attempt to rush over to the ipad. Alan's touch was like a trance. It had completely captured Caden in all the right and wrong ways possible. If he'd met Alan first, he would have been as loyal to his has he was with Charles. First come, first served. That had always been the way Caden had worked.
