Shawn had tried all he could to break free, to run from his brother. But he'd failed and as he was being yelled at for staying in someone elses room until sneak back hour, and for making friends with the new boy, Leo did something he'd never done outside their fathers presence and command. He hit Shawn more then once. He threw him to bottom of some lockers and proceeded to sit on what he knew were cracked ribs, they were always cracked, as he beat him. The cut over his eye, from having been hit by the chair re-opened by fists. His lower lip cut on the left side, both eyes black as well as most of his face. He was left on the floor moments before Aki arrived.<br/><br/>When he heard footsteps and saw feet, struggling to breathe on his side, he curled into himself, trying to protect the important organs if Leo was to start again. "Please, no... No more, please... Leo... No." He begged, pleaded as he curled into himself as much as his sore ribs would allow. But when it wasn't his brothers voice he heard, all tension left his body but his hands stayed over his face "I... I don't want you to see... He didn't mean it... Couldn't have... I should respect rules... Curfew... My own fault." They were practiced words, learnt long ago. But they still fell so easily from his lips.
